  1. Good call skirge but a more forward type of wingback such as Duff or Zoggy on the left. You want 8 bodies forward to play in the opponents half not half your team hanging back. Get one of the massive centre backs to drive forward also wth the ball when they pick it up. The much (unfairly by us) maligned Bramble can do this, it would be the making of him. He could knock people over on his way through and get away with it. (tin hat on)
  2. Leeds Magpie ! Spot on, you stole my team. (toss up between Duff N,Zogbia) whichever is on form.

    One of the most perplexing things of course is that a large percentage of them (like Man Utd & Manchester) have no connection to Merseyside. Riddled with Gloryhunters.
  4. I would play the three of them with nobby and duff/baba as wing backs.

    Crumpy gunt, Thanks mate, born and bred in Westoe supported Newcastle all my life, stood in the Leazes in the sixties suffered all the heartaches of the last few decades, Will never stop following the team despite all the disapointments. Through work I now live 25 miles outside Birmingham where everyone near me supports Villa or Birmingham. S. Shields was 9 miles from the ground I guess it still is. Is that too far away? Why try to alienate your own fans?
  6. He used to take his false teeth out to do it , I watched him only once, but heard him loads!!
  7. Surely it is easier to ask a skillfull player to put his foot in and adapt to defensive duties, than to ask a dour defensive type of player to display skill and flair. Proof was seen today. Nobby at full back gives us another dimension on the right flank. Carr should not have started a game for us once it became obvious he was a shadow of the swashbuckling attacking full back he was for Spurs prior to his serious injury. This is such a simple truth. Hod carriers out! Artists in! We need to do the same on the left, Duff, Emre or Charles for poor Ramage struggling in a role he is not cut out for. Charles, Milner, Nobby, Emre, Dyer, Duff, should be the first names on the team sheet when fit every week. We need players who can keep possesion and go past people to win games. Defenders with flair who are comfortable in possesion, a prerequisite for successful football teams. Glenn Roeder of all people should know this as he was one of the best of this type around in his playing days.
