  1. I reckon Barton would have done well in a quick movement/passing 4-3-3 but with our current system of 4-4-2 (and most likely 4-4-1-1 in the future) and our playing style ("proper" wingers and all that), don't think he would have fit in Pardew's plans as such.
  2. For me, it just wouldn't look right - after having a (hopefully) successful Olympics next year, I would be disappointed to see it in the hands of a club of Orient's stature. The "legacy" being Leyton Orient playing there just wouldn't sit right with me There has been talk about a Rugby Union side using it and AEG (Spurs' would be partners) are still interested using it for concerts etc. I think it would get used more with Orient on board than Wham tbh. Which Rugby Union side are you talking about?
  3. Well I accept that one buyer may be more attractive looking than another, but I was thinking mainly regarding any new owner wanting to make changes to our current set-up. Rocking the boat so to speak. Wouldn't be happy with that at all actually. For once, we have some stability and Ashley (bar his obsession of plastering Sports Direct logos everywhere at St. James') seems to be slowly learning lessons about how to actually own a football club. Still can't be excused for his past behaviour mind but for the time being (or 3-5 years like Ian W mentioned above), any changes above/in ownership would be a bad idea (well apart from firing Llambias maybe).
  4. @dannysimpson12 Danny Simpson Don't believe everything u read, things get taken out of context! Very happy at Newcastle n I'm staying 2 minutes ago via UberSocial for BlackBerry

    The England Thread

    Source: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_7251029,00.html?utm_source=twitterfeed_Football_twitter&utm_medium=twitter Capello would be making a mistake if he takes Rooney imo.
  6. I meant what is the reason he wouldn't play him after the Forest game? Early signs (Forest game, reserve games) seem to indicate that Elliot is a bit of a dodgy keeper. But it's still very much early days before we can properly pass judgement on him imo.
  7. Anyone able to make sense of this? Do you think we have the essence of the foot? The mackems have the essence of the bum. Very random post from RAWK there

    Shola Ameobi

    Shola has played like Eto'o today
  9. Carver's words are encouraging especially the bit I've put in bold.
  10. Would be a shame if he does leave imo. His personal problems this year seem to be taking its toll on Simpson so it doesn't seem as if he's in the right mindset for football. But he may very well still be able step it up by January/the end of the season. If not, he's still decent enough back up imho but if he wants to leave, can't really stop him. (His claims of "financial hardship" are silly ones to make btw).
  11. Him and Taarabrt having a bust up (especially when Adel is known to be quite the prick) was always on the cards like.

  13. How exactly are Leyton Orient going to fill the stadium??

    Nile Ranger

    Overall he was poor, didn't look like a player out to impress and show he has a future at club, scored two although he couldn't really miss them but missed two other sitters and a penalty. Guess he really is a lost cause here. I know he might not have played well (I obviously haven't seen the match), but just from reading the match report, he scored twice, hit the post once, and set up a teammate for a goal in a match against fairly decent competition. Hardly a career ending performance The bit in bold is quite telling. It seems he doesn't really give a f*** otherwise he would have done more to impress. Just an assumption here.
  15. Don't pay that much attention to what nufc.com says these days tbh.
