    I thought the same thing straight away. Load of shite.
  2. Did you listen to the most recent one? The Gambian Newcastle fan, mental bastard Dunno why they got him back on, he was irritating.
  3. What work's in the championship doesn't necessarily work in the Premiership. Agreed, but it never seems a good idea to mess around with your biggest strength first. Also, it was never given a fair chance to work in the Premiership, Hughton is just attached to Nolan for some reason. I'm sure they played together quite a bit in the season we went down. Wish people would stop saying stuff like this. Coloccini was a useless t*** in the Prem, he's now arguably our best performer this season. Carroll is on the verge of an England call-up. Enrique has turned into God over the last year. etc etc. Lots has changed in 2 years, to keep linking back to that relegation season is a bit misguided because it's mostly irrelevant. saying players are good after a few games back in the premiership is misguided. You've completely missed the point. Some players are just as s*** as they were 2 years ago, some players have improved a lot in that time. Players have left and players have come in and we have a different manager in charge. The overall squad and team as a whole is very different and the situation has changed. Making judgements because of what happened in 08/09 is pointless and is only being made in this instance to support your hatred for Jonas. Anyway, out of those 3 points what did I say that was innacurate?

  6. I thought Aghahowa was a fans favourite at Shakhtar.
  7. Hate Iaquinta, he's awful. Painful watching that talentless lump lumber around at the World Cup while vastly superior players sat on the bench/at home on their couch.
  8. Definitely. We're only getting about 50% out of him as a lone striker. Which is definitely what he is infront of Nolan.
  9. Are you joking? The relatively few times I've seen Busquets he's looked nowhere near the level required by Spain or Barcelona. That said he may be hindered in my eyes by being one of the biggest cheating twats I've ever seen. He's streets ahead of Mascherano, who can barely pass a football. Busquets is a massive twat, but a hugely underrated player.
  10. I think most teams do tbh. True, but it's never this dull when they do. Don't get me wrong Barca do play great football, but their passing game becomes dull when put up against a defensive wall.
  11. Shit game. Barca really struggle against teams whoare good at putting men behind the ball.
  12. Wonder when Pep will get to the point when he has to launch Messi.
  13. I think Nolan had incriminating pictures of Stu, aswell as Hughton.
  14. Tbf, many on here thought he was shite even when he was scoring goals. It didn't mask his performances last season.
  15. I think he will in time. He's quite limited but very well suited to the Premier League.
  16. Think it was Ronaldo who said it, but since the Villa game Nolan hasn't scored or assisted from open play. Not only is he a visible hindrance to our play, but there isn't even statistics to back his selection.
