Just looked at some youtube videos (again), and I'm so happy he is a Newcastle-player He does not do everything right, but he still a player that as soon as he gets the ball he gets me out of my seat! Can't wait to see more of him :D

What?!... Babayaro is an absolutely aweful defender! And for all we know at this point, Bale could be an even worse one. Ramage, Edger and Hunttington are all better at leftback then Baba so I really don't see how that's possible. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Emre has been good for us though, we are clearly a better side with him in CM. name 1 away match that he has performed in? Almost everyone that he's played this season.

Fuck!! Harper is a decent keeper, no where near as good as Shay though

: Quite an enlightening thread this is. Welcome aboard mate, theres no getting off this rollercoaster and I mean it when I say rollercoaster, make sure you have a healthy heart, haha! I was born in Newcastle so I've just grown up with it. I can't afford to go to games really but I'm an avid fan. Like FlapjackJoe said "When you stay awake an entire January till 4am clicking refresh on 20 different websites (with Sky Sports News on in the background) to see the latest player we have been linked with in the transfer market ... and then wake up at 7am to see if they unveiled someone in the 3 hours you were asleep, then you know you've become a real fan." I agree with this 'cause its what I do every January haha, such a good laugh (or a good cry!) Thats me without the SSN in the background..

Your Roedometer needs an uptade.

scum of the earth, agents. Just a notch above pedophiles and rapers.

what a shame they have so many season ticket holders, they didn't have hardly any before the Halls and Shepherd. The question is, where were all the fans who will support the club forever [discounting those who think buying England players and qualifying regularly for europe is "failure"] befor 1992, and indeed almost entirely during the 1970's and 1980's. Not born perhaps?

I am extremely worried about Roeders opinion on Ameobi. I'm sick of seeing him playing, he shouldn't even be near a first team place.

Is he really, or is it rather the club running out of money... If being careful with money is spending £5m on a position we're already well covered in, instead of buying defenders, then God help us. How can you say that we were well covered for the position when we had one 20-year old player with LW as natural position?

It's scary already - that from 8 yards he has the uncanniest habit of hitting the 'keeper when there are yards of empty net to hit. Amazing really. Of course! Maritns doesn't want to score goals, he just wants to take out his adolescent pent-up rage on opposing keepers by chucking rocket shots at their faces ...Oh, wait... : I wish crumpy was a keeper tbh As long as he's not our keeper!

No one?

i'd back any ref on that,all the whinging and diving needs cutting out.if he booked them for whining too much,good,more rennie in the prem. I think whining is ok, tbh. You get frustrated on a football pitch, there's a lot of adrenaline and you do things you normally wouldn't. Diving on the other hand....

How was Carr today? Was working during the first half, so I saw very little of it. My father said he was absolute shit the first 15-20 minutes, but mainly because he was playing out of position and acted as if LB was his natural position. From what I saw, he did a decent job. Nice to see a defender in black and white that doesn't panic when he gets the ball (even Nobby panics too often)

He's fucking shit. Though I can't take away from him that he's scored three times in like 5 games, very good for any player. Still, 99% (official Premier League Stats....or my own) of the times he gets the ball he loses it or puts a terrible cross in. How GeJon and others fails to see this is beyond me.

He's not THAT young though...

No I don't rate him as a footballer and his attitude is sh!t. Stay clear, Glen.

Against Man U i watched Martins like a hawk as i have seen Dyer, Emre, Milner etc who were supplying him, enough times to know what they are generally about to do. I also spent a lot of time watching Hunty and Edgar, who was marshalling the defence up to what position on the pitch from goal kicks at both ends (Taylor). Other things i like to look at is where the holding player puts himself on the pitch when in possession. Are you like one of the pigeons at wimbledon following the ball back and forwards across the net? Of course you have that option when you go to games, but tbh, I don't think there are many who goes to games and just study one player like a hawk. You might be one of them, I'm not. Though the best way is to go to the game and then watch the replay of it when you come home

Speaking of intellectual conversations - garth, mate, even the MACKEMS are taking the piss out of you! You're famous. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=189328 The mackems didn't get that MOST (everyone except one) was taking the piss

Who really go to a game and watch all the off the ball movement and that? I mean, you focus on certain things, and I know that I mostly focus on the ball-carrier. Of course you notice a few more runs per game, but many of these you would probably see on the tele as well. And someone said how the back four is organising, I can't for my life say that I once payed any attention to this when at a football game (and I DO go to games, just not Newcastle games!)

So, would you like to swap our position with West Hams?

I hope that he'll get loaned out (with NO option to buy) when Harper returns from injury. I also hope that Krul will play some cup games for us next season.

Fuck off Chelsea At the moment, I wouldn't sell Martins for 25m. We'd be totally fucked for the rest of the season. He is priceless for us right now.

The Championship loan windows stays open till March or something, doesn't it? But I fully agree. And even the likes of Huntington and Edgar if we sign some defenders or we get some fit ones. No idea like Anyway, Don't think we should loan out both Hunty and Edgar, we might need them (both are better than Ramage from what I've seen)
