can't disagree, Edgar showed good ability and commitment. Carr's a massively negative influence on the team

Agree with this. It'd be funny as f*** if Martins and Ameobi were s***-hot together. it'll actually be hilarious Daniel Cordone and Silvio Maric had a better partnership

What facets of Shay's goalkeeping makes him streets ahead? better shot-stopper, Jussi seems to be king of the hollywood save Jussi's handling isn't as good as Shay's more consistant, very rarely do we see Shay make mistakes

Jussi is a quality keeper. too indecisive and too many mistakes

i'm actually quite surprised that so many seem to think Jussi is in the same league as Shay i'm not a massive Given fan but he's streets ahead of Jaskelinen

i'd forgotten about that, because our place is not far from Hartlepool i'd imagine my best mate will drag me to that most of their fans that i know are from the dales and are good, loyal people who travel 20 miles plus just to see them get beaten 5-1 by Luton Town, then do the same the next week, would certain people on this board? doubtful yeah but you'd rather wear a Leeds shirt for the rest of your life than insult someone to their face right?

We all hate your best mate. classy as ever, just wonder why people dispise Leeds, they gave us Woodgate and Milner at bargain rates, their fans have never caused any real trouble in my experience, and they all hate Man u

my best mate is a leeds fan, why did you all want them to go down?

i was hoping someone else would mention this Titus to Shearer, Man City (a) 2005

Ramage to Rooney last season

either that one, or Robert's to Shearer, West Ham (h) 2001-2002

Jean-alain Boumsong WC finalist etc

a lot of players look fit but in reality are nowhere near fit enough to play premiership football

as would Martins and Duff I was adding to the original list. was adding to yours to be honest, Dyer, Solano, Emre, N'Zogbia, Butt, Martins and Duff would make the squad, Owen and Given would make the team

as would Martins and Duff

as i thought, he's happy to get wasted and fall over in Blue Lounge every saturday night no ambition, and too fond of his social life. The decision to sign for the c***s has effectively extinguished any chance of him making an impression as a defender on the domestic or international stage

Stephen Carr

what the fuck? you think it's a good thing that we're losing a potentially valuable player simply to shut people up?

is there a defender in the world who would respond well to playing alongside the following: Nicos Dabizas Andy O'Brien JA Boumsong Andy Griffin Aaron Hughes Stephen Carr Celestine Babayaro Peter Ramage Craig Moore 19 yo Paul Huntington the list reads like a who's who of either completely s*** or cannot be bothered defenders

Taylor for captain = ridiculous thread twice feigning stomach injury to avoid giving away a penalty leads me to believe he isn't captain material somehow

he is ten times the player Huntington or Ramage is. Moore and Gooch are going (and rightfully so) makes no sense whatsoever to let him go when the geniunely bad defenders (baba carr et) are still here

I think if you watch the AZ's first goal you will see that in the first place it was more Bramble's mistake then Taylor's Bramble tried to leave one of the forwards offside,that didnt work out,then Hunty was slow to close the cross and after that it was mostly Taylor's fault that he didnt marked Arveladze who scored For the 2nd goal it was 100% Bramble's fault because he lost his man before the corner And finally the fact that Bramble was made the scapegoat is because he was doing this amateurs mistakes for 4-5 years already.It was time that he takes the blame(of course i dont support the idiotic manner of which Roeder criticized Bramble in public). Point is Taylor was shocking against Alkmaar. Who was worse is debatable but Bramble was made scapegoat. Taylor also conceded a stupid penalty at 4-1, which he's always liable to do with the habit he has of closing people down with his arms flapping at his sides to try and widen his body. Skeletor - Great tackle by Bramble. Dave - What a tackle from Bramble. f****** ace. johnnypd - bad defending once again, saved by a top-class tackle by bramble. nufc 4 life - f****** hell bramble pure class Newcastle Fan - This is the best Tackle i EVER saw Bramble make The College Dropout - Well done Titus. Phil K - Just popped downstairs and saw a magnificent goal saving tackle from Bramble. Superb. Yorkie-Geordie - I'm usually the first to lay into Bramble, but he had about half a second to stop the ball from going in there. GeJon - Bramble made (imo) as good a tackle as you will ever see, that was a goal all the way without a complete f*** up of a finish or a world class save! markluk - that tackle was amazing Superb game, excellent tackle to stop the attacker clean through toonarmy - that bramble tackle was shockingly good Yorkie-Geordie - Practically perfect performance from Bramble. He was an absolute rock. His sliding tackles, his headers, his marking, everything - was fantastic. Thought he was a bit wayward for their first goal but other than that, he was just fantastic gray - bramble was pretty much quality tonight Wullie - I'm going to be Ronaldo-tastic and say Bramble's tackle was one of the finest I've seen in years Ronaldo - 4 excellent games in a row now for Titus. In terms of aerial and tackling ability, none of our other defenders can touch him. And when was the last time he made a notable error that cost us? Howaythelads - Well done Bramble. Had a really good game. Good job he didn't do what Taylor managed, otherwise we'd be on page 100 by now. Northern Monkey - Taylor: 5 - Wasn't a penalty, but got himslef lost a few times. Bramble: 7 - Best game for a while against decent opposition, but was positionally caught out a couple of times. Did well, though. Carr: 4 - get to f***, you fat waste of space. Roeder, you're a cretin. CoachHTT - One of his best performances in a Toon shirt, that tackle was simply world-class, and had Terry made it... Decent distribution too. The list goes on. The point being he kept us in it in the first leg. The second leg if I remember rightly he messed up for one of the goals, but thats what players do apart from the the few wonder goals ( goal of the month comp ). Thats how goals are scored in football you know. Show me a thread like that about any of our other CB`s. Yet AZ was all his fault. One great tackle cant change the opinion about any player in the world Against AZ all the players played badly.Bramble was made the scapegoat because he is doing this mistakes for years now and its time he actually gets the blame it's time he actually gets the blame? are you kidding me, how long have you supported nufc?

come on Chelsea, fuck those scouse twats

hasn't the guy just bought a house, i really dont think he'll want to go anywhere Could just be an investment. Means nowt either way imo. mansion in medburn doesn't sound like an investment, especially when ur throwing parties in it left right and centre. The guy blatantly wants to stay in fairness.
