See that's a silly opinion too. A bit of height is important for central defenders in this country and always will be.

An elected leader is important in just about every context, especially on a playing field.

Simpson and Raylor are about the same height anyway. One of them can occasionally defend.

Norwich -1 is 10/3. Put your house on it if it's those two starting in the centre.

What a tool. Agree with Stifler, as people have been saying on here recently, Shearer wore the captains band, but Speed did most of the talking. Doesnt matter jack who wears the captains armband to me. Load of nonsense that. Absolute crap.

Tends to be the case when you lose a world class defender and gain a League One nothing.

Instead of Colo or Raylor?

Cabaye. I honestly don't know why this keeps coming up. He's most certainly not a captain. Captain at Lille. He was the club captain of Lille?

What a tool.

Cabaye. I honestly don't know why this keeps coming up. He's most certainly not a captain.

Piss off, Smith.

He's another one that doesn't know how to dress, like.

Krul Simpson Colo Perch Santon Ben Arfa Gosling Cabaye Jonas Best Ba

What in the f*** is that?

Why the sad face?

That's what I mean, they don't even look like brothers apart from the skin.

Pretty sure that's Balotelli. Looks nothing like Mario.

Is that something to do with his kissing celebration demonstrated a couple of times with Nolan and Colo?

Here it is: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/columnists/simon-bird/Simon-Bird-s-Newcastle-column-Will-Newcastle-do-another-Andy-Carroll-and-cash-in-on-Cheik-Tiote-Fabricio-Coloccini-or-Danny-Simpson-in-January-article836173.html

I don't know.

Speaking on The Mirror, has anyone else seen that Simon Bird article from today? Never seen much rubbish since last week.

I think he's worth £20-25m, certainly.

I don't even think it's a valid discussion to be honest. Carroll is completely irrelevant now. Ba is only the main striker because he's getting more goals, and Best to a large extent facilitates that with his selflessness and his threat in the box.

I don't agree. Carroll was often very effective for us dropping deeper to win the ball and turn it into possession. Plus, Best very rarely drops deeper than Ba.

He's absolutely crap at defending corners.
