Hell of a free-kick on him

Would make a change from just loaning out has-beens and never-weres to get them off the wage bill if we were to loan him out. As long as we can recall him quickly when all our strikers get crocked again

I think we will see a flurry of activity back end of next week. Its just like a game of domino rally. Could someone make a new thread please? If you read through the whole of this one (which has taken me all morning, taking the odd break to do some work), its just different people saying the same things again and again. And again. We need a new thread on here, one with new ideas and a new vision for the future. A thread about Albert Luque.

Owen fits together with papier maché and safety pins. Viduka uses a combination of rendered kangaroo bones and vegamite.

What's he been saying like? Anyone? Always thought Clarky was the consumate professional, unless forced to wear Red and White. What has he been saying?

New thread, cool I reckon he has disappointed so far, but watch him go this season! Double figures for goals and assists! Seriously!

We have missed a real twat on the team since bellers departed IMO. Sign him up!

In all seriousness, I once met someone from Peru, and he really hated Chileans.

I know, yet we still let them in ?!

Why would Nobby guide him? People from Peru want to cut up Chileans with huge knives.

Are you only capable of contributing in a new thread or something? I just can't be bothered to read the previous 100 posts to get up to speed, and if I don't I just end up saying something somebody else already has.

Oh good, a new thread. I blame all this fucking stretching they all do. If you keep stretching your muscles, eventually you will strain one, it stands to reason. They never used to stretch before games, and no-one was ever injured, apart from that bloke who broke his neck in the cup-final, and played on anyway.

I could be well "wide of the mark" here, but wasn't the Zog a full back when we pinched him from Le Havre? *edit* pretty sure that I'm wrong on that, after checking his Wiki. Incidentally, do you know anyone who calls him "'Super N'Zoggy'"??

Wouldn't be keen on playing N'Zogbia at LB anyway, but too lightweight for the position? Reckon he'd be a lot more powerful than the majority of LB's in the Premiership. I am pretty sure Zog has all the attributes to be a terrific LB but I don't think he'd put his heart into it. Considering he's unsettled as it is, might not work out, although I agree he's a far better bet than some of the names being bandied about. Would far rather see a real LB brought in and Zog given the left mid role. If Zog was up for it, he would make a superb left-back, as I have said elsewhere. Aren't Roberto Carlos and Ashley Cole also a bit lightweight? I do agree though that I he probably wouldn't want to play there, and especially in his current frame of mind would probably spit the dummy if asked to do so. Depending on the system I don't think playing there would necessarily have to be a waste of his talents either, Ashley Cole in his Arsenal days being the prime example (of course he did have a few canny players around him to pick up the pieces)

Actually I'm delighted we are trying new things. We need an alternative to 4-4-2, ideally we would have a few systems we could switch between quickly and efficiently. I think Souness had the right ideas, just no ability or clue as to how to drill it into a squad of players. I don't think switching Nobby inside is emergency playing people out of position, more using his talents where they can influence play more. Of course equally, it could be fucking bullshit and we are skint

What's he been saying like?

Would be nice if the injury coincided with his jail sentence

Ian Bogie. When Gazza left he was hyped up as the perfect replacement.....

I am also mentally ill, but I disagree. For me if you don't win, you've had a test. You learn more from being tested than pissing on some shite 10-0. Of course if we drew with Carlisle in a competitive match I'd be unhappy. But its not competitive.

When one or both of us are challenging for a trophy come the end of the season regularly, then we can start talking about the great North-East revival.

Gave us some good moments on the pitch, hard to say if he will make a decent coach. Definitely need tried and tested, proven back-room staff. Will be remembered forever due to the mackems/t-shirt incident. Sheer class, legendary.

Exellent new thread, well done

thanks for the info.. deffo a shola hat-trick then.

And if the trains are off the roads will be 10 times worse - I'm going to give it 2½ hours just to be safe

So is everybody agreed that lots of small threads are better than one monster one? I've only recently started posting on here and I find all these enormous threads intimidating, a bit like your first day at a new big school. Small thread = small school = not so many big boys waiting for you in the toilets = less likelyhood of psychological problems later in life. I reckon a Shola Hat-Trick on Sat!! Seriously!
