If this City had more than 1 club then not renewing would be an option. The fact is there is too much demand for the tickets for ppl not to buy them to make an effect. You will just be replaced by people who have even less intelligence who just want to see the games and don't care about the background matters. IF you want to make a change, there's only one way.. demonstration. Tried and tested, sound your disapproval in games, show your disapproval outside the grounds before and after matches, show your disapproval with flyers/handouts/t-shirts. Will never happen tho.

Would have to say I'd be happy with a back 4 of ---------------------GK-------------------------- Solano-------Taylor-------Edgar--------Huntington Until the end of the season anyway, bit of a knee jerk from me on Edgar/Huntington but I think having nobby at right back is really going to help them out. I can't believe some of the criticism aimed at Solano from this board. It's all coming from <18 years old kids who don't even remember when Solano was signed or what his best position was when he came here. He played his whole life at Right Back for Boca Juniors, and that's no mean feat. Maradona adored him and I really think we lost something when we converted him to RW. Personally, I'm less of a fan of 'roving' full backs who just run all round all day with no ability, a la Carr, Baba, Lauren etc. Much prefer ball playing full backs such as Solano. They provide an easy pass from the central defenders and have the quality to deliver the ball effectively up the field. /rant over It's all about getting the basics right, Ramage can't do that ergo he shouldn't be in our team, let alone our squad, and should have had his contract terminated long ago. Bramble should have been offloaded after 2 seasons max when it was clear he was never going to improve. Moore would be a good choice in CB, he gets the basics right, however he's always injured and I'd value stability over ability when it comes to defence and would prefer a stable back 4. Carr isn't the same after his injury, he can't tackle and he seems worse than Parker (some feat) in his ability to run around aimlessly like a lost puppy chasing a headless chicken. Babayaro has always been dire.. yet the 4 players I've just described are near enough Roeder's first choice back 4. Roeder needs to learn fast that experience counts for nothing when you simply don't have the ability to do a job effectively. If Roeder has the bollocks to field the above defensive team we might stand a chance of a good future. But I keep getting the feeling that Roeder plays too much FM and knows less about Managing a football team or managing people than I do.

completely disagree with coppel @ albion, he was great there

ibtl

Wont even start on this

Which Tescos? Kingston Park? Yep, was packed and I just looked up and there he was picking an orange just as I was getting some oranges. Was a mad day as I bumped into Tim Krul on Northumberland Street earlier in the day and then yesterday I bumped into Damien Duff at the airport, he was picking someone up off the same Dublin flight as I was. reckon he flies on Easyjet? Duff was not flying he was picking someone up who was also in all nufc training wear... not sure who it was.. didn't look like Alan O'Brien. Not Alan, maybe Andy bluewink.gif

*Crosses fingers it's as serious as Marcelino's debilitating finger injury"

He got 6 months pay out of it as well. What is he, 25? How pathetic is this?! Aparrently his hip will never fully heal, can never be 100%, like Shola but worse. Dear god, someone put him out of his misery.

Same please, quite interested

ON the contrary I think we have some very good players in our squad. A good manager would get the best of them, eg. Dyer, Martins, Emre, Parker, Milner, Zoggy, Taylor, Given

We didnt't even need/use Rossi when Oba was out. We have Dyer for cover in the 10% of games he's fit for and it's unlikely Oba will be out again for any lengthy time. It's high time we invested, building from the back. A good LB and CD to help turn Steven Taylor into a world beater is a must if we want to be any kind of force in the coming seasons.

Talking of which, do you think Roeder realises he's signed for Liverpool, or do you reckon he still sneaks off to Rotterdam wondering why the f*ck he's not getting a game? Would not suprise me in the least blueyes.gif

a la kuyt i think roeder will need to see him just 72 more times

Please explain why we need a striker, I seem to be missing something. Just buy a good LB and Cd.

I honestly doubt if it will ever be beaten what with how fragile players are nowadays

Best wind-up... The hoaxer to the stars, The Serial Caller, who rang Newcastle chief Freddy Shepherd claiming he was the spokesman for Roman Abramovich, who wanted to buy the Magpies' black-and-white stripes for Chelsea. Here's how the conversation went: SHEPHERD: Not a chance. No way. It doesn't even... that, that's... I mean that's so far off the wall. It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. SERIAL CALLER: I am sure Mr Abramovich won't be happy to hear that you think he is ridiculous. SHEPHERD: Tell him what you like. I don't give a f***!"

"You can put it here or there, I don't really mind. Just get it high enuf so I can head it cause my feet dont work to good"

do you reckon if we buy enough of his boots there'd be none left for him to wear? bluebiggrin.gif They wouldn't let him on the field with no boots like

and Charles N'Zogbia bluebiggrin.gif lol

Good stuff I see you also like Luque and don't agree his treatment is spot on eh?
