Stal

New iteration of The Four Horsemen?

Just googled him and yes, that's him! Thank you

I have a question. I was watching this match in a bar (so no sound on) and I was quite a distance from the screen so that I couldn't read names. Who was the Forest player who had the black pompadour, reminiscent of Butthead from the 90's cartoon Beavis and Butthead? Whilst I know our players, the ashley years dissolved my love of football so I literally know very few players from other teams these days. Getting better though.

Just as an aside, I'm genuinely enjoying the sensible and reasoned discourse going on on this thread. I love this forum.

I'm a massive Inter Madrid fan.

I have no doubts that Mourinho is a great manager, but for me he is great in only two places; 1) chelsea 2) abroad Respect for what he's achieved but I don't want him here.

I have always been a massive advocate of Eddie Howe and still want him to stay, but I want him to learn. I know he's capable of it, he talked about how he improved his game before he came to us, I just wish he would show it. I was all for defending him based on the point that he doesn't have the time on the training pitch. He always gets the best out of players when he gets to mold them into his system. I also get that we were gazumped time and time again by the sky six over signings so we were way down the list and forced to pick up 4th choicers at premium prices. But it's not just that aspect that he should be judged on. I was watching some of our Youtube channels last night to get a wider view of why the split on Howe is there. Sadly, the Toon Review is now basically the main one just echoing the views of his darling chest scat aficionado mate and, whilst I enjoy Billy, with no balanced view from the Statto one it's just a chore to watch. That Adam bloke is a joke so skipped him, but watched the Geordie Journos and then a bloke called The Noise who has always been super balanced (he explained why Woltermade was the logical choice to play midfield when we had a shortage of players there for example). He pretty much pointed out the stuff that was obviously there but for some reason (maybe my Eddie fanboying) I hadn't really appreciated or acknowledged and that's his in game management. He called out use of the "Eddie Time" subs, the lack of a change of plan, the unwillingness to change, the putting on subs with less than 5 minutes to effect a game, subbing off players who could be on a ban if they get booked and a few other things. I just don't get why he is refusing to learn or try new things. I really want him to stay but the amount of disappointing results and our league position, combined with my acknowledging the other issues, is making it very hard to keep backing him. He has worked wonders for us and I would love him to be our alex ferguson but he needs to start learning and take risks in doing things differently. This season has been a write off in terms of 4th choice signings, poor league position, damn unlucky cup draws, agents stirring up shit, no training time and bad luck in general and I think this has had a knock on effect on everyone. We just haven't been able to catch a break. I want him here next season, and I think he deserves it, but he has a lot to work on in himself as well as the team.

Yes, that's him!

Is he the player whose mam is his agent and she's a total pain in the arse?

It's ok, but it's no Wolf Cola.

I think you may be my second favourite poster on this board after this list and the proposed trade off. I'd maybe swap sketchers for, say, animal cruelty but otherwise that's a list I'd be proud of.

There are some players I have been mortally embarrassed that we signed. He is a well deserved second on my list.

We are Newcastle UNITED for a reason. We actually feel united. The players seem there for each other, the fan base are experiencing unexpected highs after the years of hell under ashley and the genuine sensible ones realise that this is a really good period for us even if this season is shockingly hit and miss. I don't want rid of Gordon and I was super proud when Elanga got cheered. I love us being the supportive club. I think that might be a huge thing for keeping our best players and getting the best out of them. I'm not saying folks can't criticise when things are obviously wrong but let's not forget where we were with no hope and no future. Now we can dare to dream, even if some of our performances have been less than spectacular and we keep getting outbid for players who would make a real difference to us. I forget my point, but I love this club and love that we've got into the position we're in.

This is fucking disgusting. The language used here is appalling. "legend" FFS when he was no more than a bit part midfielder brought in when their actual players needed a rest. Rancide behaviour!

Absofuckingloutly not!!!
