It was only a poor performance because Butt went off and dyer moved into midfield, and when sibber comes on Roeder and the team turn to long ball eventhough sibber never wins headers. We become one dimensional and predictable and villa just take it straight back and create more chances. Also we lose defensive cover because butt is wise and holds his position an breaks down opposition attacks and when he comes off we have no protection. This is why Dyer and Martins is the partnership for Newcastle. Bramble will be dropped on saturday, made more mistakes than Taylor and Taylor deserves to keep his place in the team. Btw Martins is friggen fast, couldn't believe it, i mean i knew he was quick but christ!!!

i am not sure, it all depends on who we have signed (if we sign anybody). Sibby should make Birmingham and Nicky Butt is 50/50 but i would like to see Alan O'brien have a run out and i would not mind seeing Edgar at CB because of the little i have seen of him he looks better than the little i have seen of Huntington. but the side picks itself really and perhaps a surprise start for Luque...

Shay didn't have to boot it, he was under no pressure and could have just passed it but it was a stupid idea/tactic in the first place, we should be alot more positive, but why was Parker at the kick off anyway he is meant to be a DM and why wasn't Oba with Sib and Dyer for the kick off?

i would prefer John Carew from Lyon much better player IMO not happy at Lyon still only 27 and powerfully built not the most gifted goalscorer but sets up many, his scroing record is similar to Crouch's but he is stronger and cheaper and a very good footballer.

oh yeah martins trick was when he started doing this weird tapping the ball with his feet, it looked like he was doing some sort of dance on the ball, it was very strange but a neat trick that made gary neville look like a total faggot.

. overall good performance showed lots of spirit and heart and actually the second goal was more emre's fault because he couldn't be arsed to run back to the box leaving parker with fletcher and scholes but it was a stupid back pass from parker anyway but Shay didn't have to smack it he could have just passed it to Taylor. o thought Nobby generally played well but he was sloppy with some passing and got sucked in too much and got caught out of position. Parker tried hard but he is a little too negative. Emre was sh*te Milner tried his bollocks off and hats off to Dyer never stopped running and tracked Ronaldo all game. Sibber and Martins ran alot to say the least, Sibber was disappointing on the ball though and he even got outjumped by Evra a few times but he gave his all and Martins was poor in the first half but he was very good i though in the 2nd half and his passing much improved in the second half too. pleased for edgar too but Hunty was abit shaky. but it was a Fcuking brilliant performance bluebiggrin.gif

i think it will be interesting to see how the team and oba react to be honest. it was a terrible penalty but he has been excellent for the last 10 games (excluding todays game). and i wonder if Nigel Pearson can perhaps motivate the players for Man U because glenn roeder is a nice guy but a little too nice about the team but Pearson is known to be a very hard man if things are not going the right way. TBH i am not sure what to expect at Man U we might come out fighting or we might surrender because in todays game we showed signs of both. but i was listening to the radio on the way back home and i heard John Anderson say that you can not blame the penalty miss for the loss eventhough it was at a pivotal moment in the match because we did create other chances but throughout the match we lacked drive, this is probably because of the fixture congestion but these men are payed to be fit and its now that the players have to show their worth.

have you checked wikipedia. that will tell you how prolific he was

on radioi newcastle they said he scored 50 penalties in his career at newcastle but the rest was open play (including free kicks)

He should be signed again after his masterclass in kicking

i think that Pav's contract runs out on January 1st. i remember he said that he wanted to play 1 more game for Newcastle.

i think we will get Taye Taiwo because i heard that inter are after Eduardo Ratinho from Brazil, and Ratinho is friends with Adriano. also Marseille are doing terribly in the league and he migth prefer a move away?

well i have only heard of Bale, never seen him play. but the basic truth is that Roeder will only sign or try to sign Baines. i am pretty sure that Roeder has never heard of Taye taiwo or most of the names that have been mentioned in this thread

Sigurd rushfeldt the guy i was on about before (soz my quotations won't work)

agree that southampton won't let him go for 3-4 million, he is a product of their youth system and they are highly protective of their home grown players and won't let them go cheaply, e.g Walcott cost a friggen bomb. bluebiggrin.gif

well he's not prolific but neither is kevin davies, but he wil grab a few and set more up with his headers.

i haven't heard that much of Bale, sounds more than capable. i don't think we should buy doyle because he has done well this season but he might be a 'one season wonder'. we need a striker but not as much as we need a left back and right back. on the striking front i would suggest a 1 year contract with a real target man, a natural target man (which sibbers isn't but he has done a good job so far) maybe Sigurd rushfeldt 35 years old, prolific even now and 190cm Tall!!! always wins headers in and out of the box we could get him for 500,000k. would be the perfect partner for Oba until we get taken over and buy a real high quality target man.

tbh we don'y need a CB Taylor for me is first choice, then its Moore, Ramage, Bramble and Huntington as 2nd choice or backup so in that department newcastle are fine P.S i would go for Woody when he comes available, he must have realised by now that Middlesboro are shit and not right for him

sevilla won't let alves go unless its 20 million or above, the chairman has already come out and said that its going to take 20 million plus to get Alves. he is a rich chairman but he is very greedy and a little tight with his wallet.

nope, its been more about stelios than anything. i am not sure what i think about Barton he is good but there is something about him.

yer i know

i really wish we could have been taken over by now, then wecould get the whole list if we wanted. stupid Fred just let us be taken over already :wullie: Greedy $h1t
