Revelation on the BBC: America was founded by mackams!

If it came from .co.uk then it probably means he fumbled past as he tried to nutmeg the defender, the ball hit the defenders foot, bounced on Pancrates knee and into the path of Airey

He got an assist didn't he, for Airey's second?

I agree with the second half, I don't however see the sense in buying O'Brien and Dabizas. Caldwell would have perfemed as well I'd reckon and he'd be cheaper and was younger. I just think our transfer policy has contributed a lot to where we are....It annoys me.

Can't think of many other products of our youth team that have won 2 Premier League titles and played in the Champions league......and we keep Andy O'Brian & Nikos Dabizas?! There's bound to be some who have won Championship titles and that's at or above the quality of the "Premier League" title you're referring too Also both O'Brien and Dabizas played in the Champions League. I know...but we'd I'd been talking about our youth system and us being appauling at judging players futures

No he saw them...that's just how he gets his dinner.

Here here

Correct. Woodgate was bar far the best thing Im ever likely to see in the heart of our defence!

Can't think of many other products of our youth team that have won 2 Premier League titles and played in the Champions league......and we keep Andy O'Brian & Nikos Dabizas?! The same Andy O'Brien and Dabizas that was at the hear of our defence in he Champions league and when we finished 3rd and 4th? I often hear the likes of O'Brien and Dabizas being called s**** etc but for me they wernt s****, The pair of them along with Hughes might not have set the world alight but they were certainly better than alot of the dross we've had at the back. O'Brien was appauling...a passenger for his whole NUFC career. I only know he played because it says so on wikipedia

If he can escape from a collision with a heard of wild boar unscathed I'd stick him in the centre straight away!

who? Kazenga. We've given Ameobi the best part of 10 years to prove he's good enough.....and finally, when we face average-poor opposition each week, he replays us! Our youth system stinks. We either let people go for them to be good elsewhere (Carrick, Beardsley, G Caldwell) , let people go as they blatently shouldn't have even been signed in the first place (Ryan McGuffie etc etc etc.) Or let them rot and get old without realy contributing (Ameobi etc etc etc). Can't remember us ever bringing anyone through right since the early 90s. Coorect me if I'm wrong. Im sure I'll ave made a glaring error somewhere

I misunderstood this thread thinking it was future mangers for ourselves, but still wanting to make my point... Lee Clark is pushing hard for consideration in a year or two in my opinion. I have been watching the Huddersfield highlights over the past few weeks (live in Yorkshire now unfortunately) and he's got them playing nice stuff. I then remembered he's been managing since he was playing. I remember him coaching kids whilst he was still playing. Around 94 he was managing the likes of Walker Central, he was reserve team coach and manager, assistant at Norwich..... Also obvious in Huddersfield at the moment is the glorious style Clark played in under Keegan. Theres a lot of experience and know how in that fella and I just think he may be an excellent manager in the future. Not to mention the success (hmm) we seem to have when bringing in past legends as Managers.

I'd giive Pancrate until April to be in the same pickle

The fact that 'The Chamionship' section of anything always takes that little bit longer to get to.

He looks far too happy with this goal to suggest hes going to offer anything at all. Give the position to Kazenga
