irish bias, leave Duff on. CUNT

unbelievable

agree with all of that

Ameobi, 10 fucking men

Jonas has been terrible

N'zogbia for Barton in a game like this?

He's injured. think you've missed the point

Cacapa knows what he's doing

there was a guy called Slane in that Blyth FA cup team of the 70's. Anyone remember him? Was my maths teacher for 3 years, poor prick

i dont agree with the Shearer comparison because certainly in his years with us he relied heavily on the players around him performing well I know what you mean about Martins though, I said it before and during the Villa game, he's the only player at this club capable of winning a game with scraps to feed on. If he's on form, we can get a result against anyone

Ferdinand is wank, living off his brother for years now

Perhaps as way of proper comparison you'd like to post a team from today's squad without 7 first team midfielders and 2 best strikers (Bowyer, Dyer, Emre, Parker, Jenas, Luque, Milner, Shearer, Owen from that squad iirc) I don't think Jenas was there then. Yup, you're right. I edited, but too late. Only 6 injuries in midfield. It is a ridiculous comparison. Our best first team in 2006-2007 would have looked like this: Given Solano Taylor Moore Babayaro Dyer Parker Emre N'Zogbia Martins Owen We would have the following alternatives: Harper, Krul Carr Bramble, Edgar, Ramage Onyewu, Huntington Bernard Duff Butt Milner, Patisson Luque Sibierski, Ameobi Rossi, Carroll Source: http://www.nufc.com/html/2006-07html/app-goals.html That is not a bad squad, and the first team you have selected there was in an extreme injury crisis. In context, as UV says, what team would we be able to field if we would have to do without: Collocini (Taylor was out as well), Jonas, Butt, Barton, Duff, N'Zogbia, Guthrie, Owen and Martins? The defence would be considerably stronger than it was back then, but we wouldn't look thrilling by any means: Given Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique Geremi LuaLua Smith Gonzalez Ameobi Xisco you do it on purpose dont you man, fuck off

'not everyday you get to come to a farm'

Delph looks quality on first impressions like

I'd like to see Owen learn a thing or two from Martins. Being able to shoot with both feet and actually shooting from outside the box once in a while. They are both different players. It's something we have to accept. indeed that said, I see his point. If Martins could time his runs like Owen did pre 2003 he'd be absolutely unstoppable

blatantly bullied and possibly sexually abused at school

Me neither, but I don't really think that's an option. If he's fit, he'll play. This isn't going to happen either, but a reserve game would probably do him good. Ideally, yes he should be eased back in. But let's not forget he's our top scorer. let's not forget he isn't, in the league anyway Fair enough. Our best goalscorer. How's that?

for me it's always a case of who partners Martins tbh

Did you see Xisco in you dreams? I just can not imagin people make stuff up just with names. It is time to appreciate Amobe he have the short now and lets be real.. and if the rumours are to be believed, you're back on the boddle

still gives away too many free kicks

Turns out that telling the press that you think the manager is s*** at his job isn't a good career move. Martins' english has come a long way too. Used to be lucky to get 5 words from him post match. english is his first language

consitently shit aye. Let's just be happy someone else is starting him every week

Poll thought it was a sending off, stupid cunt

Bramble may have made mistakes but he was never nonchalant tbh
