Elliottman

In a funny way i hope he goes in that dressing room and gives the players hell. I know there are so many people on here that hate shepherd, but he cant do anything about whats going on, on the pitch. So if tearing into the players helps, then so be it.

ha ha, i like it.

lol. Bridge is a must. And a strong leader at centre half too. No idea who to get up front. Need someone proven, but who the hell is there? Otherwise i can only see Nugent, a little risk, but i cant see much more?

sorry i havent read through all 8 pages. What exactly did Parker do? Told a fan to fuck off or something? And if so, why did he do it?

People get way to carried away round here like. Are people forgetting where we are in the league?And yes, we have had 2 good wins in Europe, first one was boring as hell though and could have gone either way, and the second we could have got tanked if they had of scored first. Good start, but we all know what the Toon on like. Remember Lisbon away a couple of years ago?

£350,000 will be piss all if we go down.

Id take 8 Mil for sure. Good little player at times, but doesnt score or create enough.

Take what you want from this, but ive been told He's on his way to Man U - long term Giggs replacement. Ive also been told he has a massive attitude probelm. Despite Roeder coming out and saying he's very easy to get on with, one Senior member of the coaching staff has said there's a problem in the squad with attitude and he's the biggest culpret. So, maybe he will be moving on.

Ive heard nout but wouldnt suprise me in the slightest if we sign him. In fact id go as far to say, we will sign him.

Delighted he's starting. Just watched that video on the main page. Anyone on the site who slates Luque for not having talent, then your all idiots. I can understand him getting shit for his work rate, but dont doubt the mans talents. The difference for me is, watching that video compliation he looks really happy, but the way he has been treated over here by management, press and fans then no wonder he doesnt want to play for the so called "Mighty Toon". The song was so appropriate in that video too.

isnt Ottmar Hitzfeld oot of work?

Isnt Omar hitzfeld still oot of work??

Martins Owen could to be ammense. With the right manager in charge that could really work. Would have to stop play gay long balls all the time like, and get the ball on the ground. Could be an amazing partnership!

i had no idea how to spel his surname!!! lol !

Your an idiot. Duff was probabally the best player in the first half yesterday, doing the opposite of what you said, and yes, beating his man. SWP is an right midfielder by the way. Duff is left. Yes, 2 doesnt fit into 1, but id rather have that problem than wondering who is going to play there. Martins is a 21 year old who has just moved countries. Most of us are stressed enough when moving house, never mind locating to a new Country. He has the added pressure of coming to a club who think they have a devine right to be challenging the big 4 - me included. He inherits the legendary 9 shirt - speaks for itself. He has come from the Italian league, a totally different style to England. He picked up an injury straight away, and has now picke dup another. He needs confidence, he gets 2 goals then the manager decides to drop him for Shola. Remeber he's still only 21. Dont blame Duff and Oba, blame the management.................. or Bramble (sorry had to).

Isnt Omar Hitizname still unemployed?

If Roeder isnt playing Luque because of his attitude, then he's doing the wrong thing by the club. If Roeder believes Luque has what it takes to change a game but just doesnt like him, then Roeder isnt putting the club first. I dont care what any of you lot say, Luque has talent. He didnt play for one of the biggest clubs in Spain, scored goals in possibly the best league in the World, played International football for one of the best teams in the World and was a legend at his former club if he had no talent. I hate the fact we keep sacking managers but Roder looks like he's not cut out. He cant keep making 85th minute subsitues and expect them to do something. He's pautting us in real danger.

He could tell Harper to release the friggin ball quicker and when i mean release i dont mean "lets see if i can kick it further than Shay"!!!!!

I hope they put on a good show for you young fella! I fully expect a win. Luque to score winner!!!!

Totally disagree with original post. So yeah, the atmos isnt always great. But you wont find to many great atmosphere's around the Country if they are watching shite. When the lads put the effort in on the pitch, they always get a response from the crowd. Which brings me onto my next point. The football at SJP has been shite since Robson left and only now are you seeing a very small dip in attendances. No doubt after Wednesdays win, it will prob be capacity again today. The thing is, we are hugley disallousion up here. We lose a few games in a row and its time for the manager to go. We win a few and we think we can make a realistic chance of hitting a champions league spot. Its always the same, its the way we are. We love the Toon and are incredibly loyal. Look at the away support. Games where we have been 2, 3 - 0 down and you still here them out singing the home support. Maybe its where i sit, but i never here that at SJP. So yes, we are the loyalist supporters the World has ever seen.

I was fearing the worst when Glenn was IDIOTICALLY given the job. Check back - I said it then, and had to battle against many who now are saying the same. I'd give the job to Gerard Houllier. i had a fiver on him at 30-1! Stupis Shepherd Face!

lol, are you talikng about Andy Gorman?

11 goals in 92, legend!!!

where the hell does he play? is he a striker or midfield?

id take him now if there was a chance. 3 months ago i would have moaned, not now. Id rather go into the season with him than without anyone.
