Guardian: Shearer clears way to become Newcastle manager
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to thewellander's topic in Football
I'd think we ought to get an experienced manager, or at least experienced coaches backing Shearer. I'd really would prefer it we didn't turn our coaching staff into and Newcastle United 1990's old boys club. -
Guardian: Shearer clears way to become Newcastle manager
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to thewellander's topic in Football
I don't know how you figure that a recently retired player with absolutely no experience can't possibly do worse than someone with quite a bit of experience and success in the past. I would not want to hire Shearer just for fear of the Keegan effect type situation. I just mean if he is a s*** manager that the people in charge of the club may be scared of sacking him or limiting his control/influence. I don't want the club to be stuck with a poor manager for five seasons just because his name is Alan Shearer. Frankly, I would like whatever manager we hire to have shown that they are a good (or at least competent) manager at some point during their life. This is why I would be against Shearer, though it wouldn't be the end of the world if he came. -
Chelsea vs Newcastle United - 22/11/08 - pre-match thread
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to Dave's topic in Football
Chelsea's home record is far inferior to their away record this season. I think they have something like 21 points out of 7 away matches scroing 20 times and conceding once. They have been much more vulnerable at home tbh. -
Terry-Carvalho-Ivanovic-Alex-Mancienne-Taylor?
-
Maybe he just prefers to compete for the Belgian title with Standard, than compete against relegation with some s*** PL team.

I was really looking forward to Faye and Coloccini in the centre. Haven't a class partneship like that since.....
-
Oh f*** off with that Ashley-Shepard nonsense too. The board has already donated an entire thread to your tiresome rubbish.

Assuming you can't read then.

Barton out for two months with medial ligament damage
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to LoveItIfWeBeatU's topic in Football
Wow, you came up with that youtube really,really quick. Just honestly, I'm stunned you found that so fast. . He actually does have decent form, and I disagree with the journalist, and think he needs anger treatment more than fighting lessons. His problem seems to be doing rash angry things rather than being undisciplined. And I still don't change my original thoughts about being scared of him or anything. The only person who scares me out of the current squad is Taylor because I think he's slightly mad. -
Barton out for two months with medial ligament damage
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to LoveItIfWeBeatU's topic in Football
I know, he's not the biggest but he'd knock seven shades out of me. I'd love to see one of the many who regularly calls our jailbird a w***** on here go within a hundred metres of him in real life. I don't know I should be scared of Barton or Butt. They're not boxers ffs, they play football. I mean should I be scared of Barton because he's "hard" and attack teammates from behind? Even though regardless, I'm not really one to curse someone over football. -
Barton out for two months with medial ligament damage

Just verified. August 30th, 1 day before the deadline. Nitpicking though.. Guess you can't really fault the rest of my point..? You didn't really make a point. Yes, he was signed near the end, yes he was unproven. But he may well have been a good signing if not for the injury. The fact that he played twice infers that he passed whatever medical the club would have to give him before putting him out on the pitch. I think all would agree that we should not be satisfied with the midfield, but I would say I don't think this season has relegation written all over it more than the last two seasons. -
Chelsea vs Newcastle United - 22/11/08 - pre-match thread
Segun Oluwaniyi replied to Dave's topic in Football
The thing is Chelse are actaully not that good going forward. Anelka drifts out of games, Malouda is good, but not amazing, while Kalou is very adept at dribbling when he ought to be shooting or passing. They only dominate smaller teams because they control the whole game in midfield and defence. Their like of bite at the front is why they have become a but of a DOsT this season. -
They do as it happens, New Era too. A bargain £6 each, can't go wrong. Who wouldn't want an image of Shearer on their head? http://shop.nufc.co.uk/sites/newcastle/images/Products/180419_B.jpg That has too much activiity going on. The cap should only have one symbol.

Yes, I mean its too bad whats happened to him, but it is no ones fault it hasn't worked out. I actually thought he looked alright from what I saw of him too. -

Segun Oluwaniyi replied to Dave's topic in Football
Chelsea are annoying good this term. The thing that gets me about them is that there not even playing well as of late. Deco is off form, Kalou is no better than N'Zogbia, and they have so many injuries that the team is picking itself. Last match they were missing (I think) Cech, Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Ballack, Essien, and Drogba, and they are still raping most teams in what is considered the strongest team in the world. The thing I will say is that Oba and N'Zogbia must play. Boswinga can be attacked and beaten, but not by Duff's nonsense. Especially if Carvalho's out, Oba must play because Terry/Alex/Ianovic can be beaten for pace. -

I really don't get this. It's disgusting that people can have a go at Gonzalez. The guy didn't even have the chance to play never mind acclimate before he f***** his achilles. I remember when Oba looked like he tore ligaments in his first match, and when Jonas got a serious injury after I think his third match for us. Doesn't mean they're s*** or bad signings, just means they're injured. But for some reason people on here nowadays will throw vitriol towards anyone or anything without rhyme or reason. -
The sad thing is that there is very little exaggeration or hyperbole here. we do have many talented players who have accomplished alot.
-
What useless, unnecessary comments. This happened on the first day of September for goodness sake. Ashely is gone, Keegan is retired. Please go back to hoping YOUR team doesn't get relegated.

Ignacio is fairly prolific.

Kind of agree with your point, but wouldn't say that many are letting Butt and Duff off. Jonas being taken off on Saturday was booed, wasn't it? I think people have just accpeted that Butt and Duff are rubbish and past it. People have just moved on. Opinions are really still being formed on Jonas, Bassong, Guthrie, Xisco, Gonzalez, etc. When you have only seen someone play ten times (in your team's colors), one bad performance has much more of an effect on what you think about that player. It is natural. For example, I thought Duff and Ameobi played well Saturday and have been alright under Kinnear, however I know that these players are not good for us, so my opinion is not altered. However, I expected alot of Bassong and Gutierrez because of what I had seen them do in the past. And after both had impressive debuts for us, I was willing to build them up as pillars of this team down the line. However, after seeing their performances dip recently, someone like may come to the realisation that these player are good but not special. In retrospect, this has been a lot of typing to say nothing at all really. I regret responding to this post.

Maybe it's just his personality, but Jonas always looks uncomfortable. Even in the videos and pictures posted of him in public settings, but especially during matches. I think he is a good player, but as others said I do think he is a very good player, but I don't think he will do much if the defence is allowed to focus on him. He is not the type to carry a side.

What an idiotic red card!
-
Wiki says "yes" Alright, just never heard he was transferred. Zarate is good.

Is the Lichtsteinner on Lazio the one that used to play for Lille?

Really don't know why Dabo is employed at the top level of football...he is terrible.
