Guest Lster Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Dont think Damien Downs will ever play a decent game for us. Can anybody remember him having a good game while playng for us? Just trying to think back here an I cant even remember him having an ok game, as with all others we have bought from chelski in the past years...

Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The gag is that it's based on Kes (a Yorkshire-based film), but he calls it a peregrine falcon on the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 First two series were funny as fuck IMO. Not classic stuff by any means, but funny. After that it was total fucking rubbish; clearly used up all the best ideas early on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 He seems to think he's staying though, which is not a good sign. I don't think Keegan is the kind of manager who tells a player to look for a new club as they are shite. He'd wait for the first bid, inform the player of it, and then tell the player that he can't guarantee first team football etc. FWIW, every game is a fresh chance for me. If I see Duff, or Smith, or Fumaca on the team sheet, I hope they prove me wrong. There is always a way back. Why would we see Fumaca on the team sheet? The point I was trying to make is however shite a player has been for us, there is always a chance that he can turn it around. Players only become definitely shit when they leave in my eyes.

Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I went in The Orbit once on a 'youth' night called Afterdark. Can't remember whether it was any good, but Morley in general is a right hole. Avid Merrion is named after the Merrion Centre in Leeds btw, and that is shite too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'd guess it's a play on the fact that a peregrine falcon is maybe a bit posher (more Southern...) than a kestrel. Random as fuck, this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I don't think there's any way back for him, he's lost his pace which has severly impacted his game. I've not seen anything to suggest he's anything like the player he once was in his time at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicente_14 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Get rid, no pace, can't beat a man, can't cross a ball, his wages are a drain on the club and he's an oxygen thief, other than that, I have no problem with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I love the fact we're ruining Rich's semi-serious thread btw. I've been as guilty as anyone, really. I just wanted to waste some time. Just blasted out another 2,000 words! Let's get it back on track though, for those who actually want to massdebate about it. Keep Duff, sell Charlie.

Theregulars Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Why do we have so many players who were good somewhere else or who should be good on paper, who all turn out to be useless as soon as they pull on a Toon shirt? It's maddening. Duff belongs in this category. He's had two years, done nothing, has shown no signs of improvement, it's mad that he kept Zoggy out of the team for a while. Get rid if we can make any money out of him. There's no point keeping him as a squad player because then he isn't likely to achieve the improvement he needs to in order to justify his presence here. I'm sure if we keep Zoggy he's a better prospect and we can pick up a better left winger anyway, and Milner's more useful than he is on that side too. No brainer.

Yorkie Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Utter fucking garbage. Beyond me how anyone can make a case for him after two seasons of constant injuries and constantly woeful performances. I can recall him having decent games against AZ and Zulte-Waregem away. Sell please. Sell. Sell now. Sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Technique wise and close control he still has it, but his stamina, confidence and sharpness has deserted him making him a dilly dally type player who isn't quick enough at releasing the ball and unable to beat his man without doing a Milner at every turn. He's finished as a top footballer and decidedly average these days. I'd like to see us peddle him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
