Oh well, Roeder is STILL the man for this Newcastle Utd bluesigh.gif We need SHEFFIELD UNITED to score and get a draw. How sad. The last thing we really want is for Sheffield to get a goal, if they get one then they could go on to win.

Oh well, Roeder is STILL the man for this Newcastle Utd bluesigh.gif It could be worse, we need both Sheffield and Wigan to lose because both could go above us, both are getting beat.

We're 14th in the league at the minute.

at you. you can't answer again can't you :lol: I didn't think the question was worth answering but you being you, I suppose I'll have to. The FA Cup doesn't guarantee European football unless you win it, we haven't won it, we've only qualified through the FA Cup because the winners qualified through the league, hence, back door.

The current and last manager both said our squad was "paper thin," both have reduced the squads. Sorry if I will not show any understanding when people highlight a problem only to go and make it worse. The chairman has appointed in his last two managers people who were virtually unemployable as managers, it's not really the recipe for success.

Being 5th best in my field isn't gained by being 9th on average.

at you.

Wow, on paper Souness was and is shite, read the paper.

The chairman in any business is supposed to drive the company in the right direction, they are supposed to set goals and appoint the people to deliver, that's exactly what they're supposed to do.

What agenda is that and why? What is your agenda?

I mentioned back door, is that so hard to understand, just read the posts again if you're getting confused. Yes I would like to reach the FA Cup final, would you? PS Your answer doesn't change the outcome of you being an idiot or not. bluebiggrin.gif

Does our current chairman guarantee us permanent CL football? No club has qualified for Europe in the past decade through the back door more than us, fact. How many times did we qualify for europe in the 40 years pre-1992 through the front door ? I bet you didn't complain when we qualified through the back door in 1968, 69 and 70 although I bet you jumped on the bandwagon, or would have done if you were old enough In the last decade we have finished in the top 5 for 3 consecutive years for the first time in over 50 years. .... FACT ..... this is not qualifying through any back door. You're right, I didn't complain about qualifying through the back door in 68, 69 and 70, I don't use it as bragging rights either. I don't think I've ever tried to make our old chairman look better for those qualifications, unlike you and now. I have highlighted that we last won something because of the qualification through the back door, something that hasn't happened since. Where did I say that the top 5 finished were back door qualifications?

It was Freddy Fletcher who went to Sir John Hall and suggested Keegan but hey, don't let that stop Shepherd from being credited with it.

he's not a "trophy player" though, and thickmick would welcome signings like this, just like the good old days when we had a board just the same as the current one, according to him :lol: bluesleep.gif Again, only in your head.

More a reflection on those who voted.

At least we now know the reason for the crap penalty, we train for the wrong sport.

Agree with Taylor.

It looks like it's going to drag on once again, we'll never learn.

maybe you should write to them and keep them right ? already did, they sent it back saying thanks for the imput but we have championship...uhh i mean premiership level coaches, scouts, negotiator, and boards memebers, and that my imput was not needed for this club to be heading in the proper direction :rolllrg:

He'll be OK if he does, you'll pat his back. bluebiggrin.gif

Thats what I did, but it took me ages to transfer everyones votes onto the spreadsheet. Copy & Paste works in Excel. bluebiggrin.gif

At the speed you count? Not the best idea you've ever had.
