http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8789682.stm Good fucking on them. I know another manager that likes to get the ball down on the deck, play from back to front in an attacking style. He gets slagged off on here a canny bit.

When you do get one be sure to mention it it the materialism thread. And the mood thread. And in this thread. Obviously. Sorry about that. Why not ask your missus to stop mentioning your f***ing kid in every thread, maybe I don't want to read about that? Cheers. :haha:

Christ man thats insane, football in europe is screaming out for a salary cap and squad size limit.

We have to look at the teams who we will be competing against to stay up, probs turn out to be an ok signing.

Has to be the pickled onion as well otheriwse its a waste.

They cost cash.

I was hping we would go out and buy some exotic world cup players, someone like Robben.

Christ this thread

He took a risk handling the ball, his team was punished twice and Ghana fucked it up. End of.

Aye no doubt they have got a lot to prove and will have a few low periods but they tonked our shower of shit.

ha ha, aye but look how many times they have won the world cup.

I think youll be suprised how many of our kits have had patches on the back Aye a sewn on one, that when sold to the public isn't stitched on.

Howay the Hollanders"

Brazil totally spazzed out!

Newcastle united wear black n white stripes as the club kit historically NOT black n white stripes with a white patch. That makes no sense... all shirts are 'designed' now and have been for years. It's a bit like saying we don't wear black and white stripes with a puma on the chest, or saying we don't wear black and white stripes with three white stripes down the arms, or whatever other design feature we've ever used. Nonsense. The kits have always been designed and for about a hundred years the basic format was to have black and white stripes back and front. Then greed intervened. Using your logic an all red home strip with a black lace trim and a picture of a penis on the back would be fine, as it’s a ‘design’ feature. Think you might be extending my logic a bit too far there.

Its only recently they started putting a built in patch on the back. forces people to put a name or a number on the back. Looks twatful without. Gimme stripes !

Are you suggesting Rooney is carried by his foreign teammates at Man Utd? Take Rooney out of Man Utd and the "foreign lads" have not done the business at Man Utd. Take Gerrard out of Liverpool and it's the same story. Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard have been star players for their clubs. There's no point pretending they're sh*t and saying we need new players. That is hiding from the issue. We need to figure out why good footballers are not putting in the same performances they do for their clubs, why as a unit the defenders looked like they'd never seen each other before. It's not a question of lack of skill. We couldn't beat Algeria because of poor organization, poor tactics, and players not performing to their potential. These are the issues we must address if we are to do well in major tournaments. For the record, I do believe England should be doing more at grass-roots level to produce a wider pool of players to choose from, and youth coaching could be improved. But I don't believe for a second that Rooney is carried by his Man Utd team or that he lacks the ability to make an impression against the USA or Algeria. I believe we were bad as a unit but more worryingly our individual players not show even the slightest glimpse of their talent. I don't have the answers, but I strongly believe this is what needs looking at the most. To concentrate on youth coaching and ignore the question of why world class players can't dominate Algeria is IMO hiding from the issue. Take all the foriegn lads out of Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal and Spurs. What you left with?

Its what he does, its how he makes millions. Buys a brand name, then gets the product made in some sweat shop on the cheap , using shit materials. Sticks the brands name on the shirt, trackie bottoms etc. Sticks them in a pile in his shop and people think they are getting a bargain cos its "umbro", when in fact it was made for about £1.50 with little effort put in it. I can just imagine the conversation in the pub when SJH offered him the club.... "mike, think of it. how daft are the geordies for their club, buy them....you'll be garunteed 50k customers!" NUFC like it or not is a brand. He has bought us We are being run cheaply He is fogging shit off the back of owning the club,

Its a yes and no from me. but voted no.
