Freddy Shepperd should have implemented a long term plan a long time ago..... I think Roeder has the right ideas/ideals but is incapable of carrying them out. He also seems to lack the iron needed to stand up to shepperd. Another new manager would throw us back into turmoil or would instill a new confidence within the players?? I really don't know? Obviously Van Gaal or Hiddink would be a huge leap in terms of management credentials and realistically would be too good to turn down... But with the fat pie munching cretin at the helm I doubt that these possibilities will ever materialise!

Aye, I think we should stay clear of spanish / portugese imports. Our past record is pretty woefull!

Ha ha ha... There are a good few clubs in Spain after him aswell!

why?

We need to buy a decent back line...no expense spared: Distin, Brown, bridge, ben-haim

Cock fest? Liberal sexual tendencies infiltrate the "ultras" - my word!

You're right, Shay doesn't command his six yard box at all, flaps at crosses, can't kick very well and his communication with his defence is lacking. BUT he is second to none at reflex saves and one on ones, which, in turn, are much more impressive than the aformentioned....SO everyone thinks he is the dog's bollox.... Still, there aren't that many who I'd like him to be replaced by... Good post by the way!

I think the best way to see which is more of a priority is by giving a general rating for the players (in their respective positions) in comparison with the rest of the premiership. e.g. Chelsea Cole (9/10) Terry (9/10) Carvalho (8/10) Boulharous (7/10) = 33/40 Drogba (9/10) Kalou (7/10) Shevchenko (7/10) Cole (7/10) = 30/40 ***It's obvious that Mourhinhos priorities lie in bolstering his attack**** NEWCASTLE Carr (5/10) Bramble (5/10) Taylor (7/10) Babayaro (6/10) = 23/40 Owen (8/10) Martins (8/10) Ameobi (6/10) Sibs (6/10) = 28/40 ****Our priorities obviously lie in our defense**** Look at the way chelseas defence and forward line points total compares....

Aye, he does seem to have a penchant for wrong decisions doesn't he? Shifting the blame on to other people/circumstances for those decisions is also something he excells at!!! Pulling the wool over stupid, blind to the truth sycophants of NUFC is something him and his cohort (Alan Oliver) are renowned world experts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i.e. you and me...

I think the only reason real supporters would give up their season tickets would be if the outcome was the resignation of Shepperd and the rest of the board. I would bet my house that if everybody thought this they would hand in their tickets right now...

Unidentified Drivelling Orifice...

Fair enough. I like his forward thinking ideas and seem to grasp that he has long term plans that he could implement, just the feeling I get....

For me, the reason we don't get too many goals and didn't create the other eveening is that we have nicky butt and scott parker as our midfield partnership. Given that 75% of the ball goes through this area we can assume that our creativity and chances to possession ratio is at an almighty low!!! Why the hell hasn't he put emre back in the middle with nicky butt instead of fannying around and changing him for duff?? Why the fuck wasn't charlie zog brought on much earlier instead of duff??? Why wasn't dyer moved upfront when sibbers could hardly move any more and milner put out on the wing... Sorry, forgot that we're only allowed three changes and only 5 minutes before full time.........aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggggghhh

I think Roeder is more suited to the "DOF" role, he can handle the press ok and does seem to have the right ideal/ideas to move the club forward. He seems the type of person who could work hand in hand with a "proper" manager. His team selection and coaching seem to be further and further away from what is really needed to take NUFC forward. Shepperd has made fatal errors time and time again, why does everyone say that this is his last season to get it right, it should have been right years ago and it only shows his gross incompetence when it comes to managing a PLC. I would like to think that we could attract a high profile manager with a proven track record to this "big" club of ours, but looking from a manger's perspective you would have to be pretty desperate to work for FS!!!

Why don't we buy him back for about 10 million, young british talent and all that???

Could be another souness... He's very single minded and takes no shit from anyone so this could lead to friction... When he was at Barcelona his coaching was second to none (he had jose in tandem aswell...).

I am praying that shepperd doesn't sell him on! I just want to see him and owen together for one season, just one season pleaaaase.... oops I'm away to change my kecks!

"always negative, never positive" was a favourite quote of his that he made to the spanish press whilst at Barcelona. Good bloke, I like his form...

No, they only put through your credit details if you are picked in the draw

Man on, square, inside, penna, haway ref, FFS Ref, far post, get rid...

I've applied. I reckon we could well make it now that we have more first teamers available...

"Do you (all fans) think Martins stand out amongst the following forwards? Would you swap Martins for any of them? Is Martins better than them? Or worse? IF, we didn't get Martins, would you be happy for us to get any of these forwards? Saha, Rooney (the current low key Rooney), Schevchenko (the current low key Schevchenko), Berbatov, Kuyt, Van Persie, Adebayor, Anelka, Johnson, Yakubu, Keane, McCarthy, Tevez, Bent" I WOULDN'T SWAP HIM FOR ANY OF THIS LOT, MAYBEES ROONEY.... OBA IS CERTAINLY WOTH WHAT WE SPENT ON HIM AND A DAMN SIGHT MORE IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT WE COULD HAVE BOUGHT FOR THAT IN ENGLAND!

decent fans..ha..ha..ha lived there for 5 years and they are a nasty bunch, believe me!

i THINK IT WILL BE A GOAL FEST SIDE LIKE THIS (AT BOTH ENDS...): -------------Given----------------- Solano----Taylor----Gooch---Baba Milner----Dyer----Parker-----Duff -------------Owen---Martins----

Which one is the real one? Ahh! Thats the name of his right lega and oba is the name of his left leg....Got it!
