It's gotta be so easy to pull girls as a footballer. ...Not for everyone http://img.skysports.com/08/01/218x298/Petera_Ramage_625679.jpg http://www.facebook.com/s.php?ref=search&init=q&q=peter+ramage&sid=2301e3e2578f1e1332a2c20db7436908#/group.php?sid=2301e3e2578f1e1332a2c20db7436908&gid=41360052065 QPR fans love him. mackems.gif Still can't believe we stayed when he was our best central defender AND best right back for nearly half the season. and in which universe did this occur? The Universe where Huntingdon as our second best defender when everyone was knackered, back 4 was something like - Carr Ramage Edgar Huntigdon. To be fair we should have went down with that backline, League 2 at best overall. One reason why we stayed up: Shay Given. Judas c***. Our defence really wasn't that awful that year, at least not compared to last year. Though it was poor in talent and quality, we didn't really ship that many goals as a team. Our biggest challenge was scoring goals. Bascially we just had Oba (and whatever midfielder he was paired with). I remember that year we didn't really grasp the horrible situation we were in until near the end (As we had a quite good stretch in the middle, where Obawas scoring and we were winning.)

Owen at this point in his career is a better player than Shearer was post 2003-2004. However, Mr. 206 was much ore influential to Newcastle especially and had the ability to be more of a focal which is important as we have lacked fluidity.

DO South Americans still count as non-EU players? I know the Kolpak decision meant that African players weren't considered non-EU. Not sure of the effect on South Americans though.

Nah, at best there are at most five South Koreans that I think could be an asset to us long term. He isn't one of them, but he's a proven international DM who's on a free and can come now. If the scouting "system" is any good then surely we should have had a look, especially considering that he's been sitting on his ass negotiating a contract with Monaco for the past month or so. What do you know of Ki Sung-Yong? I was told he's supposed to be a star by one of the many Koreans that live in my building. I've seen bits of him, but obviously I'm not watching all that much of the K-League. He is a holding player too I believe. I'm still disappointed with one of the last Koreans who was supposed to be a world star, Park Chu Young. I've known about him for a long while, but he hasn't developed and has probaly regressed. I do watch Ligue 1 and seeing him with Monaco......well, he's just not very good.

Arshavin isn't a strker.

Adebayor isn't THAT much better than Bendtner, and Eduardo and RVP (Who is great) have experienced imjury problems.

Is it illegal to PM people to request PMs?

I'm having a tough time imagining Nile actually saying that, tbh.

I don't think Roeder or Allardyce (the latter especially) are really poor managers.

Honestly that is nonsense. The man is just trying to win a penalty for his team, the way most players of every nationality and football culture attempt to. I don't think he should have to alter his game because Martin Taylor tried to seperate his foot from his leg.

Nicky Butt is always there....always. Regardless of the fact we haven't invested enough or whatever people say, we've brought in five superior players in his position in the last two seasons, yet he is still there every match.

Whatever became of Peter Foresburg. (sp.) I have vague memories of him.

O rly? http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/08/07/hitler460.jpg What's your point? The Germans have commited mass murder better than anyone else, tbh. I really haven't enjoyed the Premiership (or Serie A for that matter) much this year and have been watching alot more of Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, especially the former. Atmosphere in Germany is easily the best out of the leagues I watch. I don't have a vested interest in any teams (mostly just watch for players I like), but it's still a very very interesting league.

<b>Jonas for free is probaly better.</b> Bassong has been fantastic. He was a quite well-known talent for a few years before we signed him, so I was surprised that we got him for so cheap. Probaly a result of Metz going down, as this could not have done wonders for their finances. Don't think Coloccini has been all that bad in my opinion. Not what I'd had hoped for. (Hopefully he'll become more comfortable soon), but certainly no where near one of our worst signings. His fee is yet to be established correct? I've said it many times for me Gutierrez isn't half as good as people say he is the main reasoning being he hasn't provided or scored nearly enough goals for a player who plays as a Winger. We got Jonas for free under the Webster ruling, but Mallorca are basically suing for the 8 million pounds other clubs were willing to pay. We followed the rules though, so I can't see them winning anything. Jonas hasn't provided enough in terms of production, but I'm in the camp of people who thinks that isn't his fault. He's been fine when playing with the "good" strikers and when he had some freedom. Lately he's been recognised as our only threat and pretty much double teamed the enitre match.

How often have we seen Viduka and Martins play together in a 4-4-2? I don't think I can ever remember this occuring.

LOL I'm being serious, Jonas plays from too deep to effectively link up with Lovenkrands, and has little end product to compensate. You're talking like we have options. And you honestly think we should play Martins from the Bench? Lovenkrands subject to maintaining West Brom form is an upgrade on Martins imho. You're almost always completely wrong. Sorry, but saying Lovenkrands is better than Martins because he scored a rebounded goal against West Brom is a bit daft to be honest. Same with the Jonas comment, he's going to be crucial to us staying up based on the mayhem and forward movement he causes alone. I'd say he was better for the current NUFC team even if he hadn't scored. Different players are good for differen types of teams, and I think Lovenkrands is raising the game of the five midfielders/attackers surrounding him, making him better for the team we've got. Martins is a complete individual, and Jonas is more suited to a different type of team. I'd love to spend time explaining myself, but I'm getting ready to go out. Someone PM me in 24 hrs if I haven't produced an uber-post on this. Duff was better than usual on Saturday, but everyone else performed at a level you would expect them to. Butt, Nolan, and Shola were their normal selves. If their games were raised at all, it was mostly due to Abdoulaye Meite and Leon Barnett.

And you honestly think we should play Martins from the Bench? Lovenkrands subject to maintaining West Brom form is an upgrade on Martins imho. Martins subject to maintaining Spurs forum is an upgrade on pretty much everyone in the goddamn world. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it is to judge someone off of one match. Ryan Taylor subject to maintaining form against Newcastle is a significant upgrade on Juninho. I think Oba and Peter are both good players that we should keep, esp. when Owen leaves in the summer. They both will play significant parts in our run in and hopefully next year as well.

So we should bench our two best attacking players because we brought in someone else who's played well in one game?

Wait...What was the red card for? I was watching the basketball. Looks like he just collided with the keeper.

Thabeet? Sven looks like he doesn't care if he stays or goes. He's f***ed his way through Mexico already. Ya, Thabeet. I actually feel bad for him when I see him walking around. Most people don't past his waste ffs. My Mexican friend was telling me that Sven is only there to make a quick buck. He'll fail with Mexico and just go back to a cozy job in Europe with a few million pesos in his pocket. Basically that he doesn't give a f***.

1-0 US. Weak goal to concede.

Two top class keepers in this fixture. Love to have either of them here.

Damn I wish I was 7 foot 4. UCONN's best player and I have the exact same skill set, but he is a top NBA prospect since he is damn near a foot taller than me. Hate genetics man. I think Mexico are going to win this btw. They are more dangerous in the final third and the atmosphere isn't that intimidating. As I say this US nearly score

I'm switching between the UCONN game and the US-Mex match. Hockey players make footballers look like women by the way.
