Yep.

Ramage, surely?

This is about where i am with him. He's got till the end of the season, and i hope he pulls it round, but ATM, this all just feels like another false dawn. till the end of the season? now, that's generous I want improvements this season, nothing over the top. If he can't deliver that and there is a better manager available, I'll consider changing.

If he wants to go, we should at least try to get him. Can't see him coming here, but it'd be madness not to even try

Martins doesn't seem to work as a supersub though. Reckon he needs more time to make an impact. Wouldn't mind that 4-3-3 that Darth Toon posted, only swap Milner for Zoggy.

Agree that we won't see that XI. I'm fine with another central midfield (it'll probably be Smith and Barton), but I do think Martins should start though.

Harper Beye Faye Roz Jose Geremi Barton Emre Zoggy Martins Viduka

Thought Barton was our best player against Pompey, tbh.

One thing I find funny is how so many are saying that Taylor should've started ahead of Cacapa because of strength and pace, but looking in the pre match thread, I only saw one who said that he should be in the XI.

So am I. Feel that Smith is a really good option to partner both Oba and Owen

Congratulations!

He's obviously meaning for our game against them, doesn't he?

Has to be.

Can't really decide on my preffered XI. Smith has done well upfront, and I wouldn't mind seeing him there on Saturday. However, I don't want to drop Martins or Owen. Got another problem with the central midfield. Wouldn't mind seeing Barton/Emre, but it might be a bit too attacking, especially as Pompey is a good team. So, I'd probably prefer either Geremi/Emre or Geremi/Barton for this one. Unless, we go for the unspeakable 4-3-3 with Geremi or Butt as holding midfielder, and Barton and Emre in front of him with Smith, Owen and Oba upfront. That, however, leaves out or player of the season so far, N'Zogbia, so I probably wouldn't want that either...

Didn't see the game, so don't know if we played well, but the 4-1 win over Sunderland was with white shorts

Top class manager, and I'll miss him in the PL.

Bad news...Especially if they get Ramos. Hate Spurs as much as anyone, and I can't understand how anyone would see this as great news. Fair enough, he's done very well with them, but the way things were going, they haven't looked like turning things around.

Shay Given's gone one better!! From the Journal this morning... The 31-year-old Brazilian scored his first goal for the Magpies against Spurs on Monday night, but Given is more impressed with his ability at the other end of the pitch. He said: Ive been trying to learn Spanish to help with the communication side of things, but I tried to speak to Caçapa in Spanish and had forgotten they speak Portuguese in Brazil. He just gave me a blank look. It obviously hasnt been very successful so far but Im working on it. ;D http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2007/10/25/given-we-will-entertain-you-61634-20004754/ They showed a clip of an interview with Shay the other night on Look North asking if he knew how to pronounce Cacapa, he said something along the lines of "You're asking an Irishman? I don't know, Gazpacho or something, he sounds like a salad." :lol:

Are we not 3th?

I enjoyed having my images fuck the whole thread up

When has Zoggy not been in a mood?

Most fauls: Barton (2)
