  1. the team I posted won't start in a million years.  Xisco definitely won't start, and I'd be surprised if Taylor, Butt and Duff lost their places.  And it makes me f***ing fed up to think that.

     

    Agreed, what's interesting though is that the majority of people on this thread agree on a similar line up, with the exception of Taylor/Bassong & Xisco/Shola.  there's plenty of room on the bench for the other. (whatever happened to tactics?)

  2.  

    What have you seen from Xisco to suggest he is any better than Shola?

     

    Sholas has played more years for us than Xisco has played hours.

     

    And?

     

    And I would be more than willing to gamble that Xisco could be a far better player than Shola ever dreamed he could be (given the chance), and that Xisco is could be better suited to playing the kind of football that would work with Martins/Owen being alongside him.

    for me.

     

    I like that formation.

     

     

     

    If those players were playing to the best of their ability's, you've got a top six side there. (and they would be great to watch).

  4. 'Hark now hear' is a mackem song.

     

    The majority of our songs sound poor these days (Geordie Boot Boys was fun back in '84).

     

    We need a more musical approach, a bit of syncopation...

     

    Try slowing things down a bit, alternately signing different lines etc (thus creating an interesting audible effect).

     

    a bit of creativity dear boys.

     

    btw, I like the 'Toon, Toon' song with accompanying clapping and people missing every other 'Black & White Army' bit... (recall it at WH many moons ago).

     

     

  5. He's an interim manager and that's what's working so if it ain't broke why fix it? Talk of making the position permanent will add pressure and some fans will resent it. I don't think he's the answer long term in any case but I have been impressed with his knowledge of the game. More than anything I am just happy that we have a manager who really wants to be here :thup:

     

    Spot on.
