You mean beyond what SBR wrote in his book: "I thought Nobby's legs were going and he weas getting fatigued too easily." Seemed SBR was pretty straight forward. He liked us to have younger players (even to his detriment) and for an old codger he was always looking for a way to get rid of the older players (SHearer included) and it would seem on the surface for purely football related reasons. for those reasons he should have been sold in the close season when we had time to find a replacement. Solano was never the fittest, just though there must have been a different catalyst. As for Robson's book, he also hinted at a problem with Solano's attitude as I remember. Leaving the Boro ground before the game was over after being sending off I think.

to be honest, I always thought there was more in Robsons sale of Solano than was said

100% agree + i hope we stick to a back 4. No idea what Cacapa is like as RB but if he's pacy as well as good as he sounds, then great play him there if not he'll dislodge Roze before Taylor imo. Rozehnal is a lot more composed than Taylor tbh too right, Taylor has a lot to learn before he can be considered in the same bracket as Rozenhal Cacapa + Rozenhal in the middle for me

to be honest I've never been exactly blown away with Nobby's workrate Its been decent, nothing magical. Like i've said many times, too much sentiment gets in the way of NUFC funs judgment of Nobby. Sam with Pav, Pav was an utter s*** keeper that the fans sung a few songs about so he was made a terrace hero, truth is, he was average at his very best. Nobby hasn't been anything near a good player since coming back from Villa, he's had one or two good games in mid, and did a good job in def considering, but really, nothing a £2m player couldn't eclipse. very true 94-95 season Pav was literally at fault for 1 in 3 goals conceded take someone like Robert, with a hint of self-confidence and ability and he can go fuck himself

once for Rozenhal and zero for Cacapa silly question tbh

well, Cacapa and Rozenhal are better, more reliable players than Taylor

to be honest I've never been exactly blown away with Nobby's workrate

indeed, if we get Faye and Belletti there's no way that irish c*** should get anywhere near the squad

Solano in the starting Xl? madness

something's seriously wrong with this guy and I think we can all guess what it is

best ever start to a premiership season, better than the 4-0 5 years ago

yeah, Butt was very good also, classy as you like

Martins and Rozenhal get a 9 from me

5 years almost to the day in fact

we are top of the league..... been a while

get in! lets get pissed

Ok, ok. We'll stop, Mrs. Ramage. Well being a Newcastle fan I thought I'd stick up for one of our players, but that isn't really fashionable on here, seems a permenent competition to see who's the most negative supporter. sad stick up for him, fine, all credit it to you mate. but seriously, 'decent defender' could get you locked up

Ok, ok. We'll stop, Mrs. Ramage. you joke about it but his lass goes to my uni, right fucking bitch

don't be silly

What yer talkin' aboot, he's the new Nesta y'knaa we shouldn't even joke about the guy, he's that fucking awful

he's half a stone heavier, decided to go with muscle think he's written off the entire concept of pace

Sibierski 2-1

Nay, more about the result than individual achievement. counterattack yeah

Just tell him West Ham is based around the opposition goal, see him run lets just hope West Ham are listening, they might actually pay money for him

Solano has pace in him f*** off
