Nervous as fuck...

We MUST keep him and Bassong...

Cheers haha

I've seen a link to a video clip of that dog on this site, but i cant find it, someone please?? God damn it's ugly

I know that Enriques passing gets criticised quite often, and i agree with some of it. But imo you also have too look how many times he tries to play it out of defense instead of just kicking it as far as possible without adress. And i love to see that he tries play himself out of pressure, of course you cant always do that but lately he has done it really well, it shows that he's got more and more confident despite getting some unfair comments from some fans and the media and Kinnear. Show's good mental strength. Hopefully he will continue playing well. Im really pleased for him..
-
Bassong and Enrique are my favourite players atm..I've always liked young players. Hope that we will keep both of them as they will probably get better and better. Just hope that we strengthen the team in other areas..
-
Probably made the operation of his life then, and Kinnear will be back in about ten days..
-
How damn hard can it be to pick a quality manager? Year after year......

Just had a little chat with Oba, asked him if he will be fit to start against Everton, he answered "dont know, hopefully" Going Stalker Style haha

I think that people underestimate this club when it comes to attracting quality managers. But the problem is Ashley atm unfortunately, as he doesn't want/afford to spend any money. IF this ever changed and the club got a new owner and the new owner had a very good presentation of the clubs longterm plan and showed some ambition im sure this would be a great challenge and that there would be some quality managers willing to take this challenge under the right circumstances. I do think that most managers around know about this club and it's history and fan base and what potential it has. Also probably know how little success NUFC has had.. But this will probably not happen with Ashley being the owner as he doesn't have financial power enough, and clearly doesn't know how to run a football club or make the right choice when it comes to picking the new manager. But at this moment it would be quite difficult i think...
-
Who's he?? I've heard his name before...
-
If i could pick any manager in the world it would be Hidding...Dreaming...
-
Whatever happens we better make sure that we get the decision right (if we get rid of JFK)

Do these players have many years left on their contracts?? Owen, Cacapa, Viduka and Butt's contracts are up in the summer, but Butt has been offered a new one. After this season Geremi will have a year, Duff will have another two years and Smith another three. So, Owen, Cacapa, Viduka will most definitely be gone and we might con someone into buying Smith. I think we're stuck with Duff and Geremi. Well it sounds "ok" (except that i would never in a million years offer Butt a new contract, as all of us probably wouldn't) I dont think it's impossible to get rid of Geremi and Smith, but Duff is a more difficult one i think. Looks like we could get some dead wood off the wage bill..
-
I agree...We cant take any chances...Again..

With Jonas banned I'd definitely throw Lua Lua in, got to be a better bet than any of the other options wide on the right. Pace and enthusiasm over Geremi's "experience" every time. I agree..In Geremi's case experience wont get us points...Would like to see Lua Lua get the chance to show what he can do..It's not like he's 12 years old..
-
Is it really that hard to get some decent players in? If just on loan for the rest of season? To make sure that we dont get relegated because of our injuries/manager...Obviously for us it seems..
-
I feel like i've lost all hope about a bright future for this club...God i miss the days when we were playing in the Champions League.. All im asking for is some stability and a longterm plan with a quaity manager who wants the same and..From there we can move slowly but gradually to better things. But i guess that's wishing for too much Cannot see that happening with Ashley owning this club.
-
By the end of last season most were agreed that Smith up front made Ameobi look like a genuine goal threat. Yeah and i agreed on that, but now i do feel that he cant be as bad as Shola has been lately...Couldn't get worse trying him with Martins when fit...maybe if he gets lucky and scores a goal and can build on from there..Confidence means everything for some players, most players i would say... But i forgot to say one thing..I would rather play Xisco before Smith/Shola
-
Really straight forward question. Why? Because even if Smith doesn't score i think he did some good stuff when he played with Owen as a striker (Cant remember which game it was) He showed some nice flicks...I think that he would do a better job than Shola who slows down our attack way too much too often and takes something like a decade to make a shot. The defender who plays against him can make 100 push ups before he needs to make the block...
-
Don't get me wrong, but i would rather play Smith than Ameobi as a striker...Not that i rate any of these two...
