  1. Yeah, but it would also mean he had just scored, so I wouldn't be as gutted as if he had done it in open play bluebigrazz.gif
  2. The same could be said about a lot of celebrations, do people get worried when several players pile on top of a player after he has scored?
  3. Martins is not a patch on Shearer and is not fit to wear the no.9. SACK HIM! :wullie:

    Shay Given

    Why the change of avatar Rocker? I liked that picture. bluecry.gif
  5. I'd sell Parker and buy a new left back and possibly right back. We don't need another central midfielder.
  6. To me, there are various combinatiions in the centre of a 4-4-2 before Parker should get a kick. Butt/Emre Butt/Dyer Emre/Dyer What does Parker do, if playing in combination with any of those 3 players, that is better than those other players in their roles? Does he play the holding role with the discipline and "reading of the game" ability of Butt? Does he create and pass as well as Emre? Is he an attacking threat on a par, or better than Dyer? Imo, if he's in the centre with Emre he gets in Emre's way and stops him playing. We've seen plenty of that and I don't understand why people still believe that combintion can work. If he's in with Butt he'll be expected to create, but he has almost zero creative ability. If he's in the centre with Dyer he may do better, but it's a real problem that he lacks the ability to move the ball on quickly. This will become even more apparent if/when Owen is up front with Martins, and with Dyer also in the team making forward runs, even if Dyer is on the right. With Zog using pace on the left we'd have a lot of pacey players, Parker has got to learn to shift the ball on much faster than he does. He should watch Butt, because his passing is far more slick and creative. Parker is not an easy player to fit into a team imo, and he's not good enough to build a team around. I'd sell him, tbh. We don't need him and the money could be better allocated elsewhere in the side. Agree 100% As do I.
  7. It shouldn't have counted due to basically everything being called up as a foul these days in and around the keeper. It wasn't a consistent decision as referees will still give shitty fouls in favour of the keeper. I'm glad it didn't count for anything in the end though, couldn't stand to lose to a team that plays football like that.

    Shittu

    Just a fatter version of Bramble, who wins all his headers. Nothing else.
  9. We've tried that and neither player does it properly, as they seem to play similar games. Butt and Emre are much more suited to eachother's game and basically means Emre can run around everywhere creating stuff while Butt sits and covers. If you ask Parker to do this for some reason he takes it upon himself to try and close down and tackle every player with the ball that enters our half. Meaning a huge gap is created and we are wide open to attack.
  10. That's exactly what I get from people down near to Watford. As soon as people hear my Nan, Grandad and Mum speak (still have the accent), they give me grief and ask questions like "Why aren't you fat", and throw general Geordie insults into the conversation at every given opportunity. I don't consider myself a Geordie as I have never lived in the area, but when people stereotype like that it fucks me off, even if they say they are joking, and the general perception is that the club is a total joke, with an army of fat, stupid morons following it.

    £20 million?

    Love the sig mate. Ta, one of few players I'll sit down to watch a whole match for. So when I saw someone with it, I had to theive it.
  12. I thought that, must be a good 6 tonight alone.
  13. Mascherano & Klose, good couple of signings for them. Blatantly going to be signed to bring the best out in Boumsong thought.
  14. Have you never played football or even been outside when it is warm and then suddenly it starts raining? The moment it hits your chest it knocks all breath out of you and it's hard to steady your breathing and then you start to feel panicky. That happened to me about a month ago playing in a match and i though i was having some kind of attack. I had to use our Keeper's inhaler, even though i'm not asthmatic, and our keeper who had been standing idle had to be subbed to go and sit in his Dad's car to stop him having an astma attack. I imagine the shock between the range of tempertures in and out of the lake made the boys like this too, though of course to a much worse extent. Though why they didn't get out after they realised they were in trouble is beyond me. EDIT - Oh the boat thing would explain them not getting out.

    Why Rossi?

    I doubt even that will secure him more time here. I get the feeling Roeder has had his mind made up about Luque for a long time.
  16. Especially when one is un-fully fit captain fantastic.
  17. Them jumping in was stupid aswell. Only in hindsight. I'm sure in front of footy mates they would have seen it as a bit of a laugh.
  18. To be fair, if you think our attack is bad, you should take a look at Watford's frontline, Darius Henderson FFS . In fact. take a look at their whole team. Without King they are totally impotent. Now I've said that I fully expect them to put 3 past us. blink.gif
  19. Comprehensively battered into my proved-wrong shell.
  20. As would I. It's been refreshing to see him get back to form a little bit each game and to leave him out would be a horrendous decision. If he puts Parker back in, I will instantly dislike Roeder again. And my respect for him will be lost. He'll probably end up putting Parker and Butt in. :roll:
