Luque needs to play. If he plays and he's shit then fine, at least we know he can't cut it in this league. But at the moment we have a virtually untested £10m striker sitting on the bench when we're in the middle of an injury crisis. It's a joke and if Roeder can't give the guy a runout then he should resign. Ameobi has had 218 games (!!!!) to try and prove he can cut it at the top but has scored a pathetic 45 goals, whilst Luque has had just 11 starts. Yet still some people are suggesting Ameobi needs time to prove his worth but they've already made their minds up that Luque is a waste of time. Such people frankly need their heads read - If he starts 10 games in a row then we can judge him, but until then he's an unknown quantity. People say "Perhaps Roeder has seen a bad attitude in training from him". Well I have 2 answers to that: 1) Asprilla, Cole and Ginola were all lazy in training (Our uni side used to train at Maiden Castle back in the mid 90s so I saw them extensively first hand) but given the chance they could produce the goods on the pitch and would walk into today's side. 2) I wouldn't trust Glenn Roeder to open a tin of beans.

Suggesting FFS would reduce the ticket prices following relegation is one MASSIVE assumption!

Although not overweight, I'm pretty unfit. At 29 I haven't kicked a football for a year and a half. I drink, I eat rubbish, and the most exercise I get is climbing the stairs to go to bed on a night time. But STILL - Give me 2 and a half months and I could get myself in shape enough to run round a football field for 90 minutes - Especially if I was getting paid several thousand pounds per week! So there must be another reason Bernard's not playing - ie he's not up to it (Well, in Glenn's eyes anyway, whatever that counts for these days...). It's a shame, as when he was first hear I really rated him.

Always lived in the North East, but have moved round a bit. Born in Chester-Le-Street, moved to Whitley Bay from 7 to 18, lived in Durham for 3 years, then North Shields, currently in Tynemouth and moving to South Shields in the next few weeks.
