  1. I need a Stu roster depth chart.

    Hi, I work for shitty newspaper, can we use this video for clickbaits and easy advertisement gains?
  3. I've just watched that skills video (Hatem Ben Arfa all skills for NUFC 2010-2014) and it's a great video to show kids, but that music... ho'way, man. It's amazing too that the cameraman is all over the place, and amount of times I can hear a voice in the back of my mind going "he could have passes". He was talented alright, but so wild and I feel like his end product from his dribbling never really amounted to much. Questionable, without going back and looking in detail, if it was due to the players around him or poor decision making. He sure liked to beat a player though, which is always great. I'd probably mark him down as a 'youtube' player, someone I'd enjoy watching clips of, but would probably become frustrated with in a starting 11.
  4. That entire era ruined me. Growing up as a kid and all you knew about football and Newcastle was Keegan's arrival turning things around sparking a run of excitement. This is the norm..!

    Lookalikes

    They look nowt like each other, and I'm fairly sure neither of them played football.
  6. Straight in with the big lads. Wasn't prepared for that.

  9. So tempted to put Rooney in from the start

    Yeah never understood why that street was open on a match day.

    We're basically constantly on their minds. All the time. Where as we just have the one 606 page thread on sunderland that is rarely off the first page of the football forum!

    I'll be totally honest about this... I have no interest in the Championship now we're not in it. I'm fickle like that.
  13. Fair enough, re: the title role. His position was supposed to be central in the area of recruitment, yet we're still lagging Boro. Can't knock other & more ambitious clubs/academies for spending over above the minimum Cat 1 budget in order to entice families to move into the area, by offering a guardian a side-earner. Speculate to accumulate. Spear (with the six figure sum it cost to acquire him) flaming out, after he dominated in the younger age groups, and refusing to broaden the se search net because of his case & others seems small time to me, considering the palms (of agents) we have greased in recent years in order to get unobstructed runs at players with release clauses. Other than it being a total grey area and a bending of the rules to get around the catchment area ruling.
  14. If he doesn't like you/thinks you're a complete knacker then he has no time or love for you like. I guess he liked you then. No idea what you're talking about.
  15. But he's not the head of the academy. There's also a reason why we don't venture too far away from home for our talent 1 - Aaron Spear and friends 2 - We looked far and wide and missed all the talent under our noses that went to 'Boro and Sunderland 3 - You can't compete with Chelsea and Man City when it comes to recruiting. They offer parents jobs as 'scouts' so they can move kids into their catchment areas to play for their academies.
  16. If he doesn't like you/thinks you're a complete knacker then he has no time or love for you like.
  17. This thread reads like the annoying and pointless social media section from FM17.
  18. There's so much that goes on before Peter Beardsley has influence, including Dave Watson and Joe Joyce's decision on who plays for the u18s and u23s. Beardsley is a good coach, although he does like to absolutely rinse people if they don't meet his pretty high standards. He means it jokingly, but it doesn't always come across that way. I just feel your anger is strangely misplaced on this one. I mean did you know who Lewis Gibson was before this thread?
  19. Amazing scenes. I just found this sudden outburst really funny is all.
  20. He's fed up with being asked if he's Ryan Taylor.
  21. That's 25 Scottish years old.
  22. This fella no longer a part of Spandau Ballet, is he?
