Wallace Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think Sir Bobby might be going on past glories ? The rest of our team haven't really achieved much I know Taylor is of that ilk but still. Looking at his team, my Dad maintains we should never have let go off Gary Speed and that he should he have been first name on Shearers list of coaches. Speed is employed at Sheffield Utd at the moment so no point in getting him in for 8 games. If Shearer is here next season, that would be the time to go for him.

lovejoy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The fact 'tomorrows'man, Shearer, should have been appointed after Allardyce Alan Oliver writes about Shearer wanting the job after Allardyce today in The People. I like Alan Oliver in The People, I think once a week suits him & me. his section on shearer never not calling him back, bar once, and him 'wanting to show that mr shearer for not retuning my calls, so i gave him a 4/10 in the chronicle' is cringe worthy.

Bad Mongo Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Duff is awful, but i believe that Jonas would've been excellent in his team as well as a Bassong on form, as O'Brien was sh**** Jonas can't cross at all. Robert and Solano were expert crossers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Duff and Taylor are team players, i suppose - which is exactly what we were back then. A team. Who'd have Andy O'Brien, Aaron Hughes, Oliver Bernard, Lua Lua, Cort, Caldwell in the squad nowadays? No one. That's what the difference is when you've got a stable club with a quality manager. Still can't say i agree with him there, though. Jonas, for example, would have been brilliant in Bobby's team imo. I'd take Hughes back anyday. Very versatile, didn't want him to leave in the first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 My god, could you imagine a defence of Beye, Woodgate, Bassong, Bernard! The only players that would get into or near the first team we had back then would be Beye, Bassong and Owen. Guthrie and Martins at a push... I'd have Solano (at his peak) over Jonas any day tbh. And Robert pisses all over Duff. Yet more wise words from Sir Bobby, great read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I just wish Shearer had been appointed 16 months ago after Sam Allardyce was sacked. Instead, yesterday's man Keegan was appointed instead of tomorrow's man. Interesting comment. And completely accurate. Newcastle have had one legendary manager, and his name was Bobby Robson, not Kevin Keegan. One man was sacked and still turned up to see the club he loves despite being seriously ill. The other fucked off to play golf while we were sucked into a relegation battle. This thread should be titled 'I Love Bobby Robson.' No buts about it. What a tool you are. Also I think if Joe Harvey was alive he would have something to say about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Bobbys team was a TEAM, and they had confidence in their own ability like no other team in this country. They also had a style of play in contrast to the present side, and players hungry to achieve things instead of being scared of the pressure at the club. I think Bassong and Beye are the only players I'd put in Bobbys team. -----------------Given----------------- Beye--Bassong---Woodgate-Bernard Solano---Speed--Dyer----Robert ----------Shearer---Bellamy------- Bellamy, Robert and Dyer weren't teamplayers but they did fit in under a manager of Bobbys calibre.

Guest optimistic nit Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 i really dont want to start the bellamy argument again but there is no way i'd partner the owen we have now with shearer. we'd have 2 strikers with limited mobility playing up front. bellamy was the vital piece of bobby robsons team, and a post injury shearer is superior to a post injury owen, so owen would have to stay on the bench.
