Your thoughts on NUFC 2006-07

Will Shola score more goals than he did last season?

 

Yes, I think he'll have a good season.

 

 

Will we get to see the real Albert Luque or will he continue to disappoint?

 

No, he'll disappoint

 

 

 

How can anyone back Luque for a bad season and Shola for a good one? It defies all logic !

 

The main difference between the players is that Shola really wants to play for the club, and Luque doesn't.

I didn't see Luque on MTV making us all look like twats by talking about his furnishings and shoe collection

[Cajun]

Fact is Shola will probably play a hell of a lot more games than Luque so I think its quite obvious he will have a better season.

Yes

 

<b>Which of our younger/fringe players (if any) will make a name for himself this season and why?</b>

Goal and assist so far defying belief.

[mouldy_uk]

<b>Where will we finish?</b>

 

8th

 

<b>Will Roeder still be our manager in January?</b>

 

Yes

 

<b>Which of our younger/fringe players (if any) will make a name for himself this season and why?</b>

 

Pattison and O'Brien - It's a shame they play in midfield which is probably our strongest position

 

<b>Will Dyer play more than 5 games for us this season?</b>

 

Just about  nurse1.gif

 

<b>Will Shola score more goals than he did last season?</b>

 

Yes

 

<b>Will we get to see the real Albert Luque or will he continue to disappoint?</b>

 

Doubt it, don't think Roeder has him in his plans. 

 

<b>Who will be the star of our defence ('keeper included)?</b>

 

Easy with keeper included - Given :dnc1:

 

<b>And midfield?</b>

 

Duff (or maybe Zog depending on how many games he gets)

 

<b>And up front?</b>

 

Not difficult at the moment with one striker - Ameobi

 

<b> How many new players will we sign before the close of this transfer window?</b>

 

2-3

 

<b>And how many will leave?</b>

 

1 (Boumsong)

 

<b>How many times will "Shearer-Shearer" be chanted this season?</b>

 

Too many times, lets move on

 

<b>Who will flop for us this season?</b>

 

Luque or Dyer depending on how you look at it

 

<b>Who will outshine all others?</b>

 

Given

 

<b>Will Owen make an appearance before the season is over?</b>

 

Maybe last few games of season depending on how close we are to Europe

 

<b>Will an attendance drop below the 50,000 mark for a league game for the first time since SJP was rebuilt?</b>

 

No

 

<b>Will we go the season without any off-field dramas/headlines of the name through mud variety?</b>

 

No chance

No

 

<b>How far in all the cups, then?</b>

 

Quarters max

 

<b>Nicky Butt - will he win you over?</b>

 

Doubt it

 

<b>Will we miss Shearer this season?</b>

 

We wont miss the Shearer of last season but the one of previous seasons, yes

 

<b>Are you excited about the new season?</b>

 

Anything is better than Souness, but it will really depend on the next few weeks and any signings made,

 

[midds]

Bump.

 

Edit: Before anybody spits the dummy, i didn't bump the thread to show anyone up or humiliate them for their predictions. I got things totally wrong! Just thought it would be interesting to see how people feel now as opposed to how they felt 4 or 5 months ago. 

[Mick]

<b>Where will we finish?</b>

 

With our current players, between 12th and 8th and that depends if Owen gets back this season.

 

Still expected

 

<b>Will Roeder still be our manager in January?</b>

 

He should be.

 

Correct

 

<b>Which of our younger/fringe players (if any) will make a name for himself this season and why?</b>

 

N'Zogbia and Pattison if they get enough games, it looks as if they will if nobody else comes in.

 

I did say if they get enough games, I was totally wrong about Pattison.

 

<b>Will Dyer play more than 5 games for us this season?</b>

 

No idea, he'll be finished if he doesn't.

 

<b>Will Shola score more goals than he did last season?</b>

 

Let's hope so, it looks as if he might be all we're going to have up front.

 

<b>Will we get to see the real Albert Luque or will he continue to disappoint?</b>

 

Probably not.

 

<b>Who will be the star of our defence ('keeper included)?</b>

 

Given, possibly Taylor once he regains match fitness.

 

<b>And midfield?</b>

 

N'Zogbia and Duff

<b>And up front?</b>

 

Where?

 

<b> How many new players will we sign before the close of this transfer window?</b>

 

Probably a couple but it doesn't look as if we'll get a replacement for Shearer, I could be wrong.

 

<b>And how many will leave?</b>

 

Probably Boumsong.

 

Correct

 

<b>How many times will "Shearer-Shearer" be chanted this season?</b>

 

If we get nobody up front then I think the Shearer chant will be heard far too often.

 

<b>Who will flop for us this season?</b>

 

Luque.

 

Correct

 

<b>Who will outshine all others?</b>

 

N'Zogbia and Duff.

 

<b>Will Owen make an appearance before the season is over?</b>

 

Probably back for the last month.

 

<b>Will an attendance drop below the 50,000 mark for a league game for the first time since SJP was rebuilt?</b>

 

I thought we'd already had one in 2001.

 

<b>Will we go the season without any off-field dramas/headlines of the name through mud variety?</b>

 

Probably.

 

Not yet

<b>Will we win something this year?</b>

 

No.

 

Easy answer and the correct one

<b>How far in all the cups, then?</b>

 

The League Cup is our best chance, probably Quarter-Finals.

 

<b>Nicky Butt - will he win you over?</b>

 

Possibly, I'm sure he's good enough if he gets his head right.

 

Half a mark for that one

 

<b>Will we miss Shearer this season?</b>

 

We shouldn't but we probably will.

 

Half a mark, we've probably missed him more at the back than up front

<b>Are you excited about the new season?</b>

 

No.

 

Correct answer

[Cronky]

The main difference between the players is that Shola really wants to play for the club, and Luque doesn't.

 

He told you this did he?

 

Do you need to be told? It's obvious from the way they play.

 

(Just going for the record for the longest delay between post and reply.)

 

Interesting to see it all again. I thought Solano was finished, but he's had a new lease of life at full back. I was banking on Shola doing well, but he's not had the chance. I thought Duff would shine, but he's been hampered by injury. I think he's coming good now though.

[Nate]

<b>Nicky Butt - will he win you over?</b>

 

not a chance, im not fickle

 

he's a better fashion model than footballer

 

doubt it

 

If we sign a striker, I doubt he'll play so no.

 

Will he fook.

 

No

 

Never.

 

No.

 

Ummmmm....nnnnoo.

 

No

 

no

 

No
