Taylor and Colo already had a (vague ) understanding going into this season, though, aswell as a pre-season. Williamson and Colo probably don't compliment each other aswell, but i wouldn't put it down to a difference in ability (between Williamson and Taylor). More just playing time. I disagree with that like. Colo has looked a better defender alongside Williamson in the games I've seen.

Comes down more to the ever-declining legs of our central midfielders, I think. From what I've seen, Williamson looks a better central defender than Taylor and also a better foil for Colo. I'd like to see Taylor at right back.

This thread is almost Parky levels of rubbish.

Good game that. Lucio was immense.

Did Carroll glass you or something? Him and Lovenkrands were working well together, if we'd stuck with them we probably would have scored. Carroll did absolutely nowt in the first half bar win a few headers. He created the best chance of the match. That would be Ranger's chance. Get out. Taylor had a free header three yards out, centre of goal. It was inches away from crossing the line man It may not have been an easy chance to get on the end of, but was by far the biggest. Thought Ryan Taylor's one on one in the first half was a bigger chance than both of them tbh, considering how much time he had.

Scrap the right wing. Robert, Guttierez and Enrique all down the left, from front to back. Win.

Played with a black one the other night in a game of a side, half 9 at night with dubious floodlights.. could hardly see it. Useless. If you read the first post, then the second one with out looking at what Greg quoted you may be thoroughly offended. I know the above post isn't racist, but can we ban Nixon for racism while the opportunity is there?

If he feels he's made enough money and simply doesn't enjoy the game and the media attention anymore, I don't see why he should have to feel obligated to keep playing.

He doesn't need a suit, he needs a costume. With a cape.

Without meaning to sound like Dave's parrot, can you cut the txt speak out please? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,19167.0.html

Was it fuck Mowen, you're blatantly having a nervous breakdown you over-reacting sensationalist muff.

And yet a lot of the people who are complaining about him wanted Shearer appointed...

Didn't exactly have much help like. Him and Forlan were as anonymous as each other because Atlético's midfield (and defence, of course) were woeful. Aguero has shown enough in La Liga over the past few years (and last year's Champions League) to show that in a better team he'd be pretty prolific. Although Forlan had very little to work with in terms of actual service, he was still on the ball a lot of times and helped build a fair amount of attacking movements (which all seemed to break down on the flanks). I can remember Aguero touching the ball about three times in the final hour of the game. Good players, really good players, ones that are considered 'world class' tend to be able to at least be involved in a game where it's going against the team. He looked no different to any of the other poor players they had out there today, that moment of sheer brilliance that the likes of Drogba, Torres, Ibrahimovic, Villa etc can provide in a game going against them never looked like arriving from Aguero, because he wasn't near the ball. I do think he's a good player fwiw, just definately second (or probably higher third) bracket in terms of the strikers there are out there. I thought he had more impact on that game than Forlan did tbh, created two good chances for Maxi and had a couple of his own. Forlan hardly had a kick.

Should of done a lot better with that chance he had in first half. Low on confidence probably, like the rest of the team. I think people forget his age.

We played our best football because we were doing what I just said above. The Reading game in particular shows where are strengths were, yet we haven't reproduced a similar performance since. And in that game, Jonas still managed to fuck up a chance. Jonas may fuck up chances, but at least he is getting into those positions. Lovenkrands consistently looks about as threatening as bugs bunny dressed in a fluffy pink skirt.

fyp Funny how alot are doing this, and they'll probably be the same people shouting and abusing Jonas when he f***s up on Tuesday. He made two crap shots but this was during a game when I don't think the whole team got a shot on target? (can't remember one anyway). We played better when he came on IMO and he even put one or two decent balls into the box as well as pushing the team forward. Even if he is '****' he's still a better winger than Lovenkrands. To get out of this league, we need to play simple, straightforward football. Like the long-ball tactics we played in the first half? If it's a toss up between Gutierez and Lovenkrands on the left I'd take Gutierez every day of the week. He is a very average winger, but Lovenkrands is way below average in the same position... It's not always about shot-quality or cross-quality, sometimes all that matters is having a player who is willing to run at his full back, because it prevents said full back from pushing on too much, and can also peg back their right winger if he's forced to help out (especially with Enrique overlapping). We played our best football this season at the beginning of the campaign with Gutierez and Enrique down the left flank.

As was said earlier in the thread, it's not the defeat that's annoying but the half-arsed approach the players took -- especially in the first half. The beginning of the second half showed that the rest of the match was being played in first gear, which is totally fucking unacceptable and disrespectful to both the fans and the opposition. At times we just weren't good enough (Carroll and Harewood were awful in particular) but the main reason for that defeat is just a poor attitude.

Dave will be fuming more than the rest of us about that offside decision, I bet he was halfway to changing the thread title getting ready to SLATE me for being too slow again. Tortoise and the hare, Dave, tortoise and the hare, that's all I'm saying.

Fuck off, I'm on time delay.

Are you talking to yourself? I unlocked, you edited (and locked). Strange stuff. Must've knocked the lock button on my phone.

Are you talking to yourself?

I'll do it since I don't do much around here.

It's probably already been answered, but the admin team there pay for it themselves. It's probably down to the likes of Peasepud and Craig being stupidly rich though Plus they're probably paying quite a lot less, at a guess.

Anybody told him that buying shares in the forum won't end the "harassment" or get those threads removed? Different Lee I think. I know.
