Pardew is a strange one, last season West Ham were excellent and he had them playing really good football too, none of this long ball rubbish you see promoted teams playing but a good, pass and move game. This season he just couldn't get them going, he also left out Carlos Tevez for Bobby Zamora which is shocking when you think about it, he does seem to have Charlton on the right track now though. Houllier would be my choice, Sven would be a good alternative as he's always impressed at club level, if we had to go down the British route I'd say Allardyce or Hughes, maybe even Coleman. I would like Houllier too.

This is worrying because Roeder will only go and get rid of the wrong players. Our problem with scoring goals clearly stems from the midfield of Parker and Butt but Roeder won't change that! He will probably get rid of the likes of Emre, N'Zogbia and Dyer or something ridiculous like that!!! and leave us with the most uncreative and unexciting team ever!!! Roeder out...

Probably came over to see Gooch too.

The sad thing is that he hasn't even figured out Parker is a defensive midfielder... Still thinks Parker will become our Gerrard. God help us.

Good point! Quite a scary thought.

Ranieri was actually desperate for the job and was baffled as to why he hadn't heard back from Shepherd. Houllier talked of wanting to come back to the premiership and seemed to be genuinely interested in the job. Unfortunately Shepherd turned his nose up at them despit their premiership success, as a matter of fact a lot of fans did too. I would have gladly had either one of them back then and I still would.

I didn't say that you had broke any. Thanks for clearing that up...

please ban this junkhead Yup, he just crossed the line. No excuse for that irregardless of what Roeder does. He hasn't broken any rules from what I can see, unlike some. Are you saying I broke a rule? I didn't break no rule buddy...

please ban this junkhead Yup, he just crossed the line. No excuse for that irregardless of what Roeder does.

Not being funny here, but I would actually have Aidy Boothroyd or Steve Coppell over Roeder...

Maybe you might like to turn that same critical logic on yourself after having read your defence of his team selection in the match thread. Bipolar-tastic tbh. Blind optimism. I was actually trying to convince myself that we would be alright. It's not working anymore though. I am infuriated!!! I did like the original defensive lineup though. Why the hell he took off Moore I will never know. Apparently, even with Dyer, Solano, Martins and Duff, Parker and Butt are so ineffective they still have a negative effect on us! To be fair though if I was bipolar it would be down to watching this tripe week in and week out...

Roeder actually complained about them sitting back??? He still will not accept that it is th eplayers he selected (Parker & Butt) who are not capable of opening up any team??? He has COMPLETELY lost it. He has to go...

Roeder's gone and done me over man. Parker and Butt? I had no chance. I got to have soemthng to work with you know...

Roeder out... There is no guarantee he will stop playing Butt and Parker together. I mean he didn't even change it in the 87th minute as he usually does. He is getting worse! Taxi for Roeder. According to the Guardian todays game was the Strachan sweepstakes. Whoever tanked at the end of the season between oureselves and Man City supposedly goes after Strachan. I just hope we are at least thinking of making a change irregardless of who comes in, at the moment I just want Roeder gone.

Why the hell did Moore go off anyway??? Was he injured??? Why the hell would you tamper with a defence that hasn't conceded and put in an inexperienced player who your not sure about. Onyewu should have only come on if we were comfortably winning the game. ROEDER OUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!

Hilarious dude....

What's Ranieri up to nowadays? He was openly campaigning for the job last time around right? Hopefully he's still desperate. Get him in!

The most pathetic event of the afternoon had to be Roeder giving in to pressure from the crowd and bringing on Milner because the crowd told him to...only to bring him on for the wrong person and then get booed for it! How embarrassing...

If it doesn't happen, can we get a promise you won't start any more threads? If it does, will you promise likewise? Yeah what he said.

Nailed on! The boy just needed a bit of a break as the games were coming thick and fast for a moment there. I think the whole squad needed one to be fair. Anyway watch him explode this weekend! You heard it here first. Oba is going to go on to be what Drogba has been for Chelsea. Productive in his early seasons but seemingly lacking in technique, but as he gets more comfortbale i.e. not being the new guy, and he gets a regular partner he will become what Drogba has been this season and maybe even better. Watch him go this weekend...

Another reason why we have to allow Roeder to see out his contract. He really does have the clubs best interests at heart and will do the right things for our long term success. Unfortunately, it means short term we have not looked great, but we have to give him time i.e. nexts eason at least. Well done Glenn. I've still got some faith in you.

Well Moutinho, who was 17 years old at the time, was great against us when we went out to Sporting Lisbon and he was also great against Borough, so it looks like he can do the business against premiership opposition.

No surprises why we have struggled to make decent signings then... Scouting network needs rebuildingMar 25 2007 By The Sunday Sun Glenn Roeder last night vowed to rebuild a Newcastle scouting network he claims is all but non-existent . . . In order to identify transfer targets worthy of his quest for success at St James's Park. While Roeder describes his summer player search as his biggest challenge as United boss, his first - and biggest - signing of the summer may perform off the pitch. "We haven't got the recruitment personnel - ie the scouting network - we need, and we're working on that," Roeder revealed. "We've got one full-time scout. Frank Arnesen, at Academy level at Chelsea, has got more than 20 full-time scouts all around the world looking for young talent under 21. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "The chairman is trying to help me and we've highlighted someone we want to employ. "We are trying to persuade him to leave his current club to come to Newcastle, and he would help me greatly. "We would be employing his address book. He has got contacts, and we haven't."

Agree.

Would be great if we knew we would have new players in by then. However if we are thinking of sending the current squad there it could be very embarrassing...
