Our defence is shite but could be totally revamped with two players coming in. We need somebody who can fit straight in on the left and we could do with somebody coming into the middle, somebody who will organise and bring Taylor on as he's stagnating. We could/should have sorted this out by now, we've screwed up two transfer windows and that is shocking for a club of our size. When did we last have a good transfer window? My guess is that it was the year we brought in Bellamy and Robert, that's the last time we really spent money and had players who changed our season, we need that now. Having said that, I don’t think Roeder would get the best out of the players, he doesn’t come across to me as being very inspirational, he bores the tits off me.

You're a hero.

I'm pissed off about last night, it was so predictable, I wouldn't dare vent my feelings on here.

I know what you're getting at but I think we can save more money elsewhere by getting rid of players who have less to offer. I don't see Harper staying as lack of ambition, it could be but it could also be that he's comfortable playing close to his roots, that's something I can understand. You see him as blocking Krull, I see him as being a buffer while Krull learns the game, he's probably got 15 years left in the game, playing behind our shite defence isn't going to give him much confidence, Given let 5 in against Birmingham, what would that do to Krull? He's got plenty of time in the game and a lot to learn.

That's baseless, he's played one game. He might become better but I can't see how it can be argued that he's better now, not on one game.

You don't know that he has zero ambition, how do you measure it? You could say that every single player at our club has no ambition, if they did then they would want to be at Man U or Chelsea. Not every player wants to go to these clubs but it doesn't mean that they lack ambition. Harper might only be ambitious to win something with Newcastle, different people have different ambitions.

I can't see any problem with Harper, he's done very little wrong and has been unlucky that Given has walked straight back into the team when free from injury. Having moved away from home (the area) I can understand him not wanting to go to another club, it doesn't mean he has no ambition, it means he doesn't want to move away. Even bringing a kid in with ambition means nothing if he's not good enough. We are well off in the keeper department, we don't need any work on it for a few years yet. I've got loads of opportunities where I am but I'd come home tomorrow if given the chance yet I'm still ambitious.

I'd add Edgar and I'd probably keep Harper as I would hate to bring back a player who had retired, again.

So do you lie when you deny being those or did you lie when you told me you were Leazes and Beermonster on other forums? Which one is the lie? Have I ever claimed to be one of those you mention?

Don't buy the new strips when they come out, tell them to piss off and spend your money on something else.

Aye, if we don't understand then we're not "Even supporters," I go off him more by the minute.

If he was on bob a job he'd still be over paid.

No, get shot of him and re-invest the money.

Done, it doesn't take 2 minutes.

Roeder and Souness are both shite, I'd rather not chose which shite is better than the other.

Roeder wasn't a very good defender, he spent most of his time trying to wrestle the forwards to the ground, his shuffle was embarassing.

Maybe it's a case of once bitten, not in my case though.

He obviously doesn't read his own shite or he'd have noticed, the blokes a twat of the highest order.

I think Hitzfeld is better than Wenger, he's taken two different clubs to land the biggest prize in league football so those who say he's only done it in Germany should think for a minute before trotting that one out. Fair enough he's never managed in the Premiership but the game is still played with 11 players kicking a ball around a field. I think Hitzfeld would out-think most managers in this country, I'd love to see him come up against Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho on a regular basis. Good luck to him in his new job.

Glory hunter.

Roeder hasn't got a ferkin clue, he's out of his depth and clutching at straws, the ref' could have sent Taylor off but he didn't, he wasn't guilty of any bias, I thought the ref' was as good as you get in Europe, I've seen a lot worse.

Agreed.

Who are you posting as today? Are you Leazesmag? Are you NE5? Are you Beermonster? Or, are you Steve? Or lastly, are you all 4 again? I'm only asking because I like to know who I'm replying to.

Did I say I thought that? I actually don't think Roeder has been any of the above either so what's the relevance of your question?
