The Bonk

haha... "clearly" it is hilarious.

Owen? What about him? Replaceable & very costly, in hindsight a big mistake, a one i hope is rectified this summer with either Manu or Liverpool taking him off our hands, nothing would please me more to see us get our money back, we might just if them two clubs go at it for him, if not near enough £12m+ Owen, replaceable? Care to name a finisher of his calibre (there are few on the planet) who would be willing to come to a mid-table club? Good point.

Bit pissed, but I'd get over it.

Owen?

wy disappointed,our best left sided midfielder this season played there and played well. Because the brightest young talent we've had in absolutely donkeys years is effectively finished here now. he was a bright young talent lastv season,this season he has been picked (like duff) on his past rather than current form,duff has been marginally better in my view,milner has been streets ahead of both when on the left. Eggzackerly.

He's shown some flashes of brilliance, but don't you think he'd be playing if he was our "brightest young talent"?

Well taken goal today, though. Can't deny him that.

Was just having a look at the table. All the early leaders have slipped off the pace. Cardiff and West Brom the most notable. Hopefully Luton will put in an effort to stave off relegation. Bit late Whoops! Play for pride, maybe?

How awesome would it be to see them bottle the last part of the season and miss out on promotion. That and the Manc's losing everything would be brilliant.

Strong, solid ideas, you talk a lot of sense, my friend. Are you currently managing a team?

I'm sorry, but this has to be deleted.

good.... so you not include as the member of insane whores haha... your material had been slipping, mate. This one is genius, though. As far as the compensation goes, I'll back anything that slaps the FA in the face. Piss poor organization run by an "old boys" club. Go get 'em you tubby prick!

Not even close to value for Owen. I know but Fergie's first bid for Carrick was Wes Brown + £3m!! Sorry mate, didn't realize you were joking.

Dawson makes the squad so why not Taylor? I see a lot more of Taylor than I do of Dawson tbf. And I know he shouldn't be playing senior international football. Strong argument, I agree 100%.

As long as he does a job and gives his all, it doesn't matter what the fucker is.

The Ukraine is not weak.

Why bother?

I thought them and Le Arse already had their own channels?

I'm gutted we missed out on him. Fuckin' clown, Roeder. I WANT MY WONDER BOY!!!!!

That's probably the right answer (although last season I desperately wanted rid of McCarthy by the time he was sacked, but hey we had 10 points and anyone would have been better, your all but safe). While Roeder has all the charisma of a dead sewer rat and I can't imagine him actually motivating someone to save their own life, there is no point in sacking a manger for sacking's sake. There has to be someone else better out there to replace your manager with, otherwise you just end up repeating the whole sorry scenario 18 months later. Leaving the club out of pocket even more by paying off another manager. That said I could see Roeder taking Newcastle down next season should no improvements to the defense be made, from what I've seen the rest of squad individually is pretty sound, but they don't seem to work well together for some reason), so that should be the main area of concern. However, I don't think Newcastle would really struggle to get a better manager than Roeder, as you are quite a big club and I think you could easily tempt a decent enough manager from the Spanish or Italian leagues, albeit with a decent wedge of compo, to replace Roeder, with the promise of a decent transfer budget. One thing that should really be done , before sacking any manager in my opinion, is singling out who you want to replace and find out if that person would be interested, as sacking someone and then not having any idea who to replace him with generally leaves a club in limbo. Cracking post, Mackem.

I've never understood the "better side lost" argument. You didn't score enough goals, cunts!
