shut up, you have no business supporting nufc

Sir are you mental? Taylor was in position to sort it out and got bullied by that pansy Ronaldo. Taylor is bloody wretched. End of. he's the absolute fucking worst, and hasn't improved since his joke of a debut 4 years ago

clever boy

i believe it's called Steven Taylor defending

THIS IS NOT MAN U'S STRONGEST SIDE. WE ARE MAKING IT EASY FOR THEM. THEY ARE 2-0 UP AT HALF TIME IN OUR BACK YARD WITHOUT HAVING TO BREAK SWEAT. encouraging? what the fuck are you watching

This. What did he say? Re: Gallas. Something like "There's being disappointed, and there's being daft, you're being daft son, get up" Gallas is a dickhead, he acted like a twat

bet that top was tailored to fit Owen to be honest

shut up mate have you seen the tackle ffs? a yellow at very best Don't really agree with James... but yellow at best? Get a grip. Both sets of studs up, sliding tackle onto standing leg. Did he get the ball? Yellow at best ffs. The guy could actually lose his foot going off them photos. no intent there, i've seen the tackle 3 times f****** hell. I'm sure there wasn't intent. I'm sure Taylor didn't go in thinking: "Right, i'm gonna stamp on this bloke's standing leg. Yep, that's a mint idea. I'm gonna do just that." Christ man. It was a f****** horrendous tackle regardless of whether he intended to take the ball away cleanly, with no attempt at touching the man at all. He did and he's severely injured him. Red card. attackers work on evading that kind of tackle 5 days a week, and defenders work on making contact with the ball it went very very wrong, doesn't make Taylor the devil, doesn't mean he should be banned for life or even 3 games

shut up mate have you seen the tackle ffs? a yellow at very best You really don't have a clue. Any tackle that causes serious injury always equals a straight red. The whole purpose of red cards in the first place was to keep all challenges safe. With that kind of injury, Taylor would have been off even if he had tackled from the front and got the ball. When injuries are concerned, top flight players should be culpable for their actions on the pitch - they are paid well enough. no way that was a red card, Eduardo was too quick for him, simple as

It doesn't matter if he tried to break his leg, if he went in to kick Eduardo and not the ball then he should be hung out to dry. hung out to dry? Shearer's career would been over at 25

getin Birmingham

I haven't seen the tackle but if he went out to get him then he shouldn't be allowed to play again. I was more replying to thespence's comments to be fair, he went in hard but that was about it

If that's the case Taylor should never be allowed to play football again. bullshit, it was barely a bad tackle

looks awful this one

Because we don't bum an average player just because he's come through the youth system? Taylor should think himself lucky he's the local lad who came through the academy because that's what has stopped most getting on his back inside of the ground. So why do people rate Taylor as a prospect, but not Ramage? Because Ramage is a Champion standard defender at best, Taylor on the other hand looked a player that was rough around the edges but could turn out to be a decent player when he first came on the scene, yet here we are 100+ games later and he looks no better, in fact we've discovered that he's thick as s*** and has no sort of footballing brain at all. People still hope he's going to turn into the player they thought, that's why they don't get on his back. I think you're making too many assumptions about WHY people have the opinions they have. I don't favour players because they're from Newcastle, never have, and i'm sure alot of people that have the same views as me aren't that biased either. First and foremost when judging a young player i look at his attributes, not his performances, and i see positive things in Taylor - firstly his aerial ability, he's our biggest danger at set pieces - yes he sometimes loses his man when defending, BUT this is to be expected of a young player, he's reasonably fast(not lightening ofcourse), he's strong physically(i've seen him bully Drogba of all people out of a game), and i have seen improvement in his positioning and maturity(ie not flying into tackles as much). I think he has good potential, but i also think he's not going to fulfill it as long as our team is so unorganized and unsettled - NO young player would fulfill their potential in our current team. Funnily enough I look at attributes too, I see that Taylor isn't particularly fast, isn't as strong as you would expect for someone his size, he doesn't read the game very well and often gets caught out by strikers with a superior footballing brain, he also has little passing ability which means his best form of distribution is the big boot up field. I don't rate him any higher than the likes of Dawson who most laugh at on here. He's not particularly slow, he certainly isn't weak, reading the game is something you gain with experience, and how old are these strikers with "superior footballing brains"? 22? I never said he was weak, I said he's not as strong for someone his size, how often do you see him physically dominate and bully strikers? As for players having footballing brains, it's true that you learn from experience in this department but you're wrong in suggesting young players can't have one now, plenty of young players in the league have footballing brains. He's an average player who may improve, unless he does improve then we should be looking for better because he wouldn't get a look in in the first teams of clubs pushing for the Uefa cup. yep, and to be honest he didn't bully Drogba at all, he simply frustrated him by sticking to him by glue which striker bullied Taylor in November? oh yeah Kenwyne Jones

absolutely

you're mad

Drogba? what

if we're talking greatest, most ability then it has to be Pedro
