Happy Face

So Roeder gets all the blame for failure and none of the credit for success.

We weren't exactly worrying about relegation on the last day of the season.

Why do all the other managers get their full stats, and Roeder only gets this season? Saying "permanent" is an obtuse and dim-witted caveat to skew the facts.

No I don't.

Yeah. That's not the only competition we're in though, and it wasn't for any previous managers. Looks like you are contradicting your own statistics... Not at all. I'm quoting the our most recent managers overall records, those having been managers in the premier league era.

Yeah, that's just semantics. Not statistics. Not facts. Semantics paint a better picture than statistics though. Perhaps you would like to read the statistics in my sig... That's another thing you've got wrong, since being named permanent he's won 43% of his games. That is from the date of Newcastle announcing that they were going to request that the PL approved his appointment. Since the PL approved his appointment, and we have been able to confirm him officially, we have won 20% of our league matches. You're perpetuating your stupidity. Why is your sig only includiong premier league for Roeder but all games for anyone else?

He's got you there Happy, 20% is diabolical. Especially in 4 months when we've played the likes of Fulham and Charlton at SJP He'd have me if it were true. Which it isn't.

You all slag off Shepherd. His absoloute worst characteristic is sacking managers at the start of the season. And you're all begging him to do it again. Have some fucking consistency.

Roeder is statistically the best manager Newcastle have EVER had. FACT!! Do you lot just overreact like this to have something to chat about on here? Statistics show that since Roeder has been permanent manager, he's been one of the worst. FACT!! Also, Carver's 100% record must make him our best ever manager if thats the case? I suspect that during the caretaker tenure, Roeder was getting a lot of help with his decisions from Tommy Craig and Alan Shearer. Video footage seems to suggest this. Carver was temporary. Which statistics show Roeder to be the worst? I'm basing my statement on the fact that he's won more games than any previous manager percentage wise, and he's took more of the points he's played for than any other manager (wins and draws). He's took 63% of points, Keegan was 62% and George Martin 57%. Part of managing is choosing your back-room staff. He should be praised if his staff helped him do the job. Are you saying that's a bad thing?

I think the thing that hurt us in the 2d half was frustration. Nothing we tried seemed to be working and when something did work we missed the chance. So it was working then, we just never put the ball away.

The same way you agreed with souness no doubt. you can fuck right off right this second. Souness was a fucking cancer and we played awful football, under Roeder we have played well without a killer punch, you're all a bunch of knee jerk twats. Exactly. If one of them had chested the ball into their own net you lot would be praising the performance. As important as it is to get 3 points from these games, and as dissappointing as it is not to, you can't give your players the same slagging off irrespective of the performance. Carrot and stick. I'd be astonished if Roeder had slagged off any of the players after that performance.

The same way you agreed with souness no doubt. Jesus wept. Some of the performances under Souness were the most insipid affairs I was ever unfortunate enough to witness. Yesterday wasn't approaching the depths of awfulness under Souness.

HTL agrees that Shepherd has to take the blame. Doesn't he?

No, are they as bad as you?

Does it take into account how much Shepherd has been dipping into the petty cash for his pies?

It must have been a money saving exercise to close the bar for home fans in the Leazes on Wednesday and send us in to drink with the Pompey fans. :roll:

Yeah, not £146Billion. [/Pedantry]

Gadzooks! Did you mean £146,712K? :winking:

"The club has been surrounded by takeover speculation in recent months with Jersey-based firm Belgravia Group considering a possible bid. Mr Shepherd said that while discussions were taking place between the two parties, there was no certainty a formal bid would be made. " Did I dream it that Shepherd said he hadn't been in talks with anyone?

Because apparently not much makes you laugh more than my ill thought out posts and I understand even less about football than I do ID cards.

I wasn't milking it, I wanted some abuse, I love it when you talk down to me. :winking:
