Get in, name check.

Aye but it was a similar situation, almost radio silence from the club - he was just "injured" while they kept him fresh for a transfer. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with Tiote or one of the others. Pretty sure they did it with Jonas once upon a time as well, not sure if that was before or after his diagnosis.

This happens all the fucking time, man. So ridiculous. This season alone the amount of never-ending injuries we've had is unreal. Aarons, Santon, Tiote, De Jong, Haidara, S Taylor, Abeid. Anyone else?

Pardew clearly models himself on him like. I'm getting to the stage where I can't stand him based on the fact I want to see entertaining games, and he doesn't.

Not including strikers, I'm more on about wingers and attacking midfielders.

How many attacking players have become more creative/effective under Mourinho's management? Seems to happen all the fucking time, man.

This makes me feel better than some random Internet table. I can't even imagine being in your position, bickering with Man Utd over who is the most successful English team ever. Therefore:

Worthy a thread tbh, not just a fave NUFC player thread but who did you think was over-rated, under-rated, under-used, over-criticised, etc.

Aye but his personality has nowt to do with it really, I loved Bellamy but always said he was a cunt that I loved but I wouldn't stand for it if he wasn't our cunt. Off-the-field stuff shouldn't come into it IMO, plus I personally just think Beardsley was more of a genius for us in the time I watched him play. Robert was certainly the boss when it came to end product, i.e. goals, assists and creating mayhem, despite him being ineffectual a lot of the time. It's scary (and a bit of a shame) that we didn't have Beardsley for more of his prime years. Was the perception he was getting towards finished when we signed him from Everton?

Beardsley by far for me, although it's a bit like bands in that the things you love when you're young and impressionable you'll always have the biggest soft spot for.

I was at that one like, think it was 0-0 at HT? And he just went fucking apeshit and scored 2 of the best goals I've ever seen, ended up winning 4 nowt.

Fuck off, wacko.

Assists were through the roof as well. One of our best ever players.

Remember when Roy Keane kept on trying to say "Neymar" and it sounded like "Nightmare".

So beating Oldham, Boro, City (then in second tier), Arsenal, Sheff Wed and a Spurs side containing Ben Thatcher and Chris Perry better than taking Boro (via victories over Stuttgart, Roma and Basel) to the UEFA Cup final? Yes, winning is better than finishing 2nd. That's before you even take into account which teams listed there were taking the respective tournaments more seriously. Kuffour, Mexes, Chivu, De Rossi, Perrotta, Dacourt all started for Roma against them. But hey ho. Sorry, are you saying losing 4-0 to Sevilla in the Uefa Cup is a better achievement than wining the (admittedly shit) League Cup with Blackburn? I'm fucking bored with this shit, anyway. Anyone legitimately wanting Steve 'Derby are doing well in the Championship and he did well at Boro' McClaren over the suggested/approached realistic European options is a mong. End. Wasn't the argument though. I think the 2 League Cup wins are comparable as achievements, although I don't know the 2 respective squads off by heart admittedly.

I'm just responding post by post tbh. I doubt I want him much more than you do, just saying he's had a few decent achievements in his career. No idea of the respective abilities of the 2 sides either, you must have the memory of an elephant. I would be extremely pissed off with McClaren as manager, but not as pissed off as I would be Carver or O'Leary or whoever. We could easily get a far better manager in who would work under Astley. It appears we might choose not to though, so McClaren would be small mercies compared to the alternatives That's a bad typo but I'm never gonna give you up IP

Boro won the same cup with a not too dissimilar run, just checked. Beat Arsenal over 2 legs in the semi.

Didn't McClaren win the League Cup there as well? Have no recollection of their route there, mind.

Ronaldo loves the Dutch league so he'll doubtless backtrack very shortly.

Sorry, but this just strikes me as small-minded sensationalism. You can't out-Ronaldo Ronaldo, so you'll have to explain. Only he's allowed to make posts like that and even then it's marginal.

Could also do a lot worse, which is what it's came to with this fat evil moron running the show. I don't want McClaren like, we should be appointing a foreign manager for various reasons. Obviously not just any foreign manager.

Still reckon Jonas' best form for us was playing central in the 433 towards the end of the season we finished 5th. Should have continued there but was inexplicably moved back to the wing the following season.
