Parky

He's got a dodgy knee.

Buffon.

He's the wrong kind of 17th choice striker.

A good manager would have got rid of Shearer when his decline first set in, and given Shola the chance to develop much earlier. No manager would have got rid of Shearer until Shearer called it a day himself. No good manager would accept the job under those conditions, and that's why we ended up with Souness and Roeder. Sadly this is part of the puzzle.

What's he on £20k a week?

Many transfers Brummie mate? Parky's schadenfreude knows no bounds... Love that word.

Many transfers Brummie mate?

I've always held back on Shola cause of the dodgy hip.

SS Parky Sportverein is in.

Is he being tried in New York like?

Apologies. It is the stress of a MON transfer window that is doing it. 2 days till start, still no right back, just the one LB etc etc Martin Nodeal. mackems.gif

....I'd like to see him move into a coaching role with us when the time is right.

But then he can look quite clever with his feet as well...maybe he should stick to easy stuff like laying it off instead of twisting and turning with the ball...but then he wouldn't be a handful any more. Can we really ask a PREMIERSHIP striekr to "stick to the easy stuff", and not expect to look like twats? Don't really understand what you are saying. Can you rephrase it? Where do you think our natural position currently lies? 6th to 9th in the league? If so, and i think it is in honesty, then how can we have a "young" striker on the bench, who we might have to bring on for tactical or injury reasons, who's ability is so limited that all we can ask him to do is lay the ball off? Out "second choice" strike force should be pushing and pushing for a first team spot, not someone we wince when we realise we HAVE to play them for soem unfortunate reason. With Owen, Viduka, Smith and Martins in front on him I think we should be ok. Who do people expect us to have as 5th choice striker? A ferocious, hungry, bitchin, snarling wolf in his late teens....Crocking def in practice games....Doing push ups with his tongue etc...

They thought his heart rate monitor was broken as it hadn't registered anything above resting rate.

Ever been arrested? Its what they do. 'You'll get 5 years for this!' just like the papers, send the willys up those who don't know its all talk. Prison are too full anyway, no chance they'll put him in when the can fine him and humiliate him if needed. It's the maximum sentence for assault if it goes to Crown Court (unlikely). Assault can include things like assaulting a person under the age of 16 (if you're an adult), aggravated assault, assaulting a police officer etc., etc. All of which are far worse than this. I would imagine the sentencing guidelines for something like this means a custodial sentence of any kind is unlikely. Aye. Barton will go with (sorry can't think what the one i was thinking of, common?) for this, he might even plead guilty to that charge in the end, if so there is no way he'll be going to prison for it. A few cuts and bruises, it wasn't anything serious. Like i said, i know someone who was glassed in the face, the person who did it admitted it, and wasn't jailed for it because the prisons are too full and only serious wounding and repeat offenders are doing custodial. and the judge will go ... I see you have a history of violent behaviour, you chav c***, I'm going to make an example out of you boy Does he? are you seriously going to dispute that? you're just getting daft now tbh Vic lives!!!

That's cause Sir Bobby thought he was Carl Cort....Souness thought he was a 'proper player' and Roeder thought he was 'world class'.

If a player is happy being a sub I want him out of the club. [brian Clough/] difference between accepting and being happy as Ozzie said 'fight for a place' Ozzie is too derranged by the Berlin nightclub scene to make any sense on these boards ever again.

You know in the odd game he looks quite lethal when he decides to up the tempo from his loping gate. Wanders around grinning and scowling..."The balls over there Shola!!" More grinning, hands on hips. Is he quite useless or our secret weapon this season? I can never make me mind up about him. Will Sam work his magic? Will he give Viduka a run for his money? Will there ever be world peace? Is god love?

:celb:

Aye. I'm considering setting up some kind of NUFC presswatch things are getting so bad.

Clubs who's support are repeatedly reported to the authorities by the ref, players or the opposing club should expect a ban from that competition. Half measures have got us nowhere.
