I dont see a problem with a bit of stereotypical tongue-in-cheek micky taking

The pen wasnt actually as bad as i expected. Though it was obviously poorly executed, i expected to be an aimless wack-as-hard-as-possible - but the idea was right, just crapply hit.

I doubt it would be like that. Addidas change their design every year, and the lopsided badge thing is this years. Next year will be something new.

Is emre really one of our better players? More gifted yes, but hugely inconsistent.

I agree that Owen and Martins could work well. I'd prefer 4-4-2 though, rather than Dyer in what appears to be a floating role there. Which midfield players would you see (and formation) behind those 3 as you've shown above? I won't bang on about it too much if you suggest Parker, :winking: but just in case I'll have to say immediately that his slow passing ability would be really exposed by those 3 pacey players ahead of him. They'd be offside 9 times out of 10 as Parker begins his second twirl. tbh i really cant decide, that was just a proposal. I'm a fan of parker and would always have him as a starter. However butt has been fantastic recently and when emre's good, he can be a match winner.

Here's the answer to one of his questions: The Arsenal board consistently get it wrong? George Graham (1986-1995): Littlewoods Cup winners 1987 Littlewoods Cup runners up 1988 League Championship 1989 League Championdhip 1991 FA Cup winners 1993 Coca-Cola Cup winners 1993 European Cup-Winners Cup winners 1994 Bruce Rioch (1995-1996): Won nothing, this must be where they "consistently got it wrong." Arsene Wenger (1996-To Date): Do I have to list them? Liverpool from the two managers they appointed. Roy Evans (1994-1998): League Cup 1995 Gerard Houllier (1998-2004): League Cup 2001 & 2003. FA Cup 2001. UEFA Cup 2001. Super Cup 2001. Charity Shield 2001. Apart from Littlewoods Cup winners 1987 Littlewoods Cup runners up 1988 League Championship 1989 League Championdhip 1991 FA Cup winners 1993 Coca-Cola Cup winners 1993 European Cup-Winners Cup winners 1994 and Wenger's honours, he has a point to be fair

I dont think we need big man/ small man. All out pace could work very well i think, and it's what caused us to rip spurs apart at the start. Martins---------Owen ----------Dyer B)

Don't forget Martin Brittain. I think dyer has matured and worked very hard ever since he was hated by the fans for the right midfield thing.

Aye, but in the second half of the season what happens if Martins and Sibierski are injured for a lengthy period? I know, it's a bit of a catch 22. I think the only way everything will work out is if we get a striker that's willing to be back up, a young prospect who can fill in til the end of the season then 'learn' or we just assume that alot of the time 1 of the 3 will be injured so we need 3 quality strikers.

Did you pick that one by the quality of it, or the importance of it. Just wondered. It has to be both. Importance, got us into Europe, where we still are. There has to be quality to put a header past any Chelsea team. I wonder how many headed goals they have conceded since they became champions ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozbuCF5kT6s&mode=related&search= What've headers got to do with anything?

I find roeder's 'denial' hardly convincing. I certainly think he's enquiring. but again, crouch will end up unhappy here. Owen has to start and martins needs to be in the team to improve, plus he's roeder's signing. Martins + Owen upfront FTW.

I cant believe they're even touting crouch as 12mil. Surely he's worth no more than 7. As if roeder would pay more than for martins. I think we are after him though, judging by roeder's 'denial'

) NUFC Player of 2006 Scott Parker 2) NUFC Young Player of 2006 Oba martins Best game of 2006 Mackems 4 - 1 4) Worst game of 2006 Man City 0-3 5) Best NUFC Goal of 2006 Shearer @ sunderland - not quality, but meaning 6) Best goal conceded in 2006 Pederson 7) Favourite Alan Shearer moment of 2006 Scoring v mackems 8)Best atmosphere at SJP in 2006 Chelsea 1-0 9) Best away game of 2006 mackems of course 10) Best opposing player in 2006 Antoine Sibierski - Feb The lack of mention of our 4-1 win at sunderland disgusts me. Shearer's goal there was so perfect - his last goal, a huge goal, a penalty, just 1 minute after equalising. Bliss.

here here my good man. Most predicted a loss. We narrowly lose, and now all's doom and gloom :rollseyes:

As well as we're doing, i think we'll be very lucky to get a point. I rue not beating them at home ¬_¬

Would be happy to come here, knowing he'd be 3rd choice when owen and oba are fit?

When i was little i loved pav. I remember arriving back at st james' after the 3-1 LC defeat at the riverside. PAv getting into his car and we were just near him and i was just sorta looking at him and he smiled at me. I think i may have a photo with him too at ones of those junior magpie meet the players things Cant remember what his last game was though. I dont think he'd have known it was his last game though would he? As he never got a game in his last season

I agree mostly. However, i'm still concerned that we're too fragile. I think we rely on confidence far too much. We lose to fulham at the end of the game then we didnt recover for ages, losing games we really must win. Games like Sheff Utd, Bolton, Charlton - why were we not interested in scoring? There was no desire to get back into the game. It also happens on a smaller scale within matches. We concede a goal and we go into panic mode. Even since our revival, this has happened against Reading, spurs, watford. Reading we concede one after playing well, we collapsed and didnt really look like getting back into it til we got the pen. Watford again got a lucky goal, but then they looked most like scoring another, and despite a good performance yesterday, after spurs pulled one back they so easily couldve equalised. Don't get me wrong, i support roeder, im just saying i still have concerns. I think had we not drawn v arsenal we could still be in a big mess and i'm concerned that our confidence will once again get shattered in the upcoming hard fixtures.

skysports.com has it

I was wondering this. I think he has, but i dont think he ever scored more than 7 league goals also, would like to hear what the nigerian fa guy has to say now

I think all our signings were pretty good, the problem was we didnt get more I'm confident duff will come good, and he hasnt done as bad as people make out Remember gary speed when he first came?

Parker would never go to west ham, and i dont think we'd pay that much for crouch

But if you want to say that, then he shouldntve been allowed back on to the pitch, which he was. West ham/fulham wasnt red but was foul/yellow Think barton's was harsh

The club shop have to quickly get that dyer pic on xmas cards. I'd buy one.

Err.... 12 i mean (i was thinking 4 pts a game )
