There's a cracking left-back who plays for Ajax called Emanuelson who would be great at Newcastle. Crucially, he can attack and defend, and would at long long long long last provide the athlete we need at full-back. Given that he plays in a league that is essentially a cattle market, he would not be too hard to bring over either. That's who I'd get, but I'm sure Roeder & co. have never heard of him! I really do think we should shop abroad though. The English divisions have practically been sucked dry of what limited talent they bear already.

Great news - with Oba, Dyer, Milner, Shola, Solano and Emre our attack will be banging in goals left, right and centre \o/ Now if only we had new full-backs and decent cover at centre-back...

QUESTION!! As current champions *coughsplutterdie* of the Intertoto Cup, failing admittance to the Eufa cup this term, do we have an Intertoto spot waiting us as a fallback?

If this is just one big fat lie, then it must be said that only Newcastle could have this much publicity and newstime over such a nothing trophy as the Intertoto!

Wanted revenge tbh! We'll cream-cracker most teams in this competition - except Espanyol, Werder Bremen and maybe a couple of others - but even they're beatable. Aye, i really fear Espanyol. They're on top form. Don't get complacent, though. There's plenty of teams in this competition who are better than us. There are teams that can beat us, but there are very few that are better than us IMO.

You could have got a couple of pasties from Greggs with that money.

Reckon we'd have a decent chance of getting a result if Dyer was playing. That said, I think this thread is just going to make tonight's result harder to take...!

My stance on this matter is, by now, crystal clear I would hope! It's good to see that everyone now agrees - yet the Karjalas/NMs/Obis/WUMs of the world continue to persist with anti-Bramble avatars, sigs, campaigns &c. instead..........

150% spot on. blueyes.gif

And Moyes. The attacking ability hasn't diminished [and if so, not substantially], it's just team ethos and tactics that have besmirched the game.

Calm down, chaps!

An unspectacular 1-0 victory.

Best Match: Newcastle 2 - 0 Pompey [Charles And Shearer] Worst Match: Home to Fulham. 2-1 loss. Best Goal Scored: Solano's outside of the foot curler Worst Goal Conceded: Alonso's Best Player: Shola Worst Player: CARR CARR CARR Best Overall Moment: Souey going Worst Overall Moment: Roeder's full-time appointment Best XI: Given, Bramble, Moore, Baba, Solano, Emre, Milner, Zog, Dyer, Shola, Shearer Best Signing made: Has to be Antoine. Biggest Mistake in the Transfer market (i.e. The one player we should have bought but didn't or the player we really shouldn't have bought): Sticking up for Carr and our depth at right-back. The point at which you were proudest to be a Toon fan: Playing entertaining football against Arsenal for the first time in yonks The point at which you were deeply embarassed of the club (if any): When Souness made us play like Everton/Bolton/Chelsea [and minus the relative success of the mentioned teams too!] Best Home atmosphere: Pompey game Best away atmosphere: Villa Toon Pros of this year: Dyer, Bramble and Shola Toon Cons of this year: Failure to even recognise the team's problems ie. full-back positions Overall Comment: Mixed fortunes ahead

We'll beat any one of them fairly comfortably. It's a shame Partizan aren't there. Another time, eh. bluecool.gif

Everton, Spurs, Bolton & Chelsea. They play ugly ugly ugly football.

Let's hope so.

That's not to be disrespectful to Gerrard either [as I rate him immensely], that's a testament to Rivaldo's ability.

Didn't see it, but I'm sure the best ever overhead kick was Rivaldo's against Valencia in the last minute to complete his hat trick AND get Barca qualified for the champions league. definately - used to worship the ground rivaldo walked on, right up until he pulled that stupid shit against turkey in the 2002 world cup - a piece of football died that day *sniff* Yeah it was the same for me until that Turkey incident. Can't stand the prick now He's still the one of the best footballers ever. The Turkey incident was repugnant [and quite funny: couldn't stand that Turkey team - was just desserts IMO] but he didn't need to do that. His game had EVERYTHING. He could do a Gerrard-Hollywood-ball 100 times out of 100. He did it against Liverpool on numerous occasions in fact. I can't recall outright, a more entertaining player.

6:30am.

Awesome stuff

1-1.

Who is everyone hoping loses? CaliMag will hate me, but I am hoping Chelsea get whipped.
