Well said - if he's dropped on Saturday Roeder's just cutting his nose off to spite his face. Rossi and Luque may have the makings of a decent short-term partnership, especially with Luque in a more familiar position of second striker. I wouldnt complain if luque started, and was impressed tonight, but the goal required no ability and is nothing to get carried with - and owen always tries to involve himself if nothings happening. I'm really happy for luque, but i wont be slagging roeder off for not starting him as the sibs been very promising. Having said that, i must reitterate i thought he was good tonight, and did more than the goal despite what some say.

I have two questions in reply to your question. Are you 'avin a laugh? Is he havin a laugh?! .... No way. Parkers a great leader, full of passion but importantly quality too.

Very good performance. Milner, Krul, Emre, Butt and Zog i thought were particularly good. We now MUST beat Sheff utd. Perhaps we'd be better sitting back and hitting on the counter :/

aye i know was gunna post about that And as everyone has said too many times, "unbelievable". Who needs Paul Julio, weve got Tim Krulio.

Will never happen, especially after the denial. Freddy knows hed be even less popular.

You HAVE to be joking.......!!?? Have to be joking cos he thinks we wont get relegated. We wont get relegated. The lack of desire, ideas or aim to score in the second half isnt exactly cause for celebration either

source?

Was the team really better though? Shearer wasnt really upto much, nor chopra. Bowyer and parker were mainly injured. We've gained Duff, Rossi, the mighty sib and martins. I know not the greatest summer, but dont really think we weakened, at least much.

I never understood why kenny didnt work. Great manager and talks sense. I'd wished hed stayed longer.

First-half diagnosis? Good, shouldve been a couple up. Rossi looked really good as did Nobby. Opposition must be noted though. Second-half diagnosis? Rubbish. Guttless, clueless and no foreward thinking. Full-time diagnosis? Eugh. This is no slump. Star man for United? Rossi. Worst United player? Titus. Generally ok, but shouldve been the match loser letting bent through. Opposition comment? Crap. Toon-pros? Rossi looked really good and could be brilliant. Made chances in first half to win comfertably, shame we dwelled on them...again. Toon-cons? Apart from the obvious, Rossi wont be staying. Lateness of milner and lack of luque. Post-match feelings?

I'm not his biggest fan by a longshot, but i think when weve got one fit striker, playing a midfielder upfront and are creating nothing, and need a goal he should be given a chance.

I'm not arguing, im just asking your opinion. Why did Roeder do so well last season then? Surely it wasnt just luck.

The first half was good against a crap side, but he cant be happy with the lack of desire and foreward thinking in the second half. And bramble shouldve made it 1-0 to them.

I loved Robert, but no. Didnt he say not long ago that he shouldve gone to Rangers instead of Newcastle when he was getting linked with them again?

eh it's been sang for years

Apart from when they got relegated

He only had ameobi under control cos he was all over him! One timee shola wouldve been away if he didnt pull him back. Looked like he was nothing better than what we have tbh

Indeed there was. Quite loud round me. I dont think itll be taken seriosuly though, 'twas straight after the goal and just seemed a knee-jerk reaction.

I dont think so. I thought woody and huth looked shaky, worse than our defence today.

from nufc.com

Ramage and Taylor were decent today, Milner looks good (apart from the all-important final ball), the sib's better than expected and titus is dropped. oh, and pav waved at us at the boro game.

I think pardew is next out. I'd be suprised if Dowie went so early, and i dont think he should.

He's not been as good as he should, but still one of our best

A geordie woman at the end, in all seriousness said, when she saw his pic on a programme. "ooh, i didnt know he played for them. Thought someone looked a bit like him." Says it all. Actually though, there was a pic of him ripped up

I'm not sure. Souness was getting chants long before he left, and i havent heard any roeder ones yet.
