Mike Williamson (now unemployed)

Not sure if this has been posted.

Obviously McClaren will know he is shit and will realise he is not able to turn water into wine, or raw sewage into stagnant water in Williamson's case. I would imagine we need to flog him first to free up space - God knows who will take him.

I can only assume he's getting a game because Coloccini's muscles are made of paper.

 

I'd be gutted if this fucker starts against Southampton.

if anyone is even considering going back to the matches based on the 'new dawn' or whatever and they don't wait to see who is playing CB for us in a fortnight they need fucking help man

Completely agree. Who is picked at CB will say an awful lot about whether we really are trying to move forward. Not signing another CB pre-Southampton I can handle, but if Williamson starts then all the small steps we have taken so far will be rendered pointless.

this is what's starting to get to me a little bit, mclaren does have other options than williamson yet he's still playing the cunt with what 3 preseason games left?  it can't be to put him in the shop window for christ's sake, he looks worse with every game he plays and better with every one he doesn't to prospective buyers

 

williamson, gouffran & obertan should be nowhere the starting 11 anymore unless they are literally 3 of only 11 players at the club able to take the field

cant believe hes still here, horrendous defender

[Dan Gleebals]

Nothing against Mike personally.  Woefully bad as a premiership player now and you cannot really blame him for the fact he was never replaced over the last 5 years.  He has gone in and tried to do a job, he is just not good enough.  Would not boo him, its entirely the management and clubs fault he is anywhere near the team, not his. 

 

Hope he gets a move to an appropriate level, does ok and we can move on as there is no way he should even be on the bench.

I do blame him for seemingly making zero effort to improve. It's telling about his character that he doesn't appear to recognize his weaknesses and try to counter them. His heading has got progressively worse for example, and for someone who must be thanking his lucky stars that he's anywhere near the premier league, he should have worked harder to improve to help the club that pays his living.

 

Utter cunt IMO.

[Dan Gleebals]

Appreciate what you are saying but you put anyone in a work situation they are not cut out for the pressure builds and performance gets worse and worse. Add to that the Pardew/Carver effect and its hardly surprising the lads has gone backwards. He might know his own failings but there has been no one around to help him get better.

 

We have had far worse at this club who did not give a fook.

[Darth Crooks]

Harsh like he's just not good enough and no amount training will prepare him for this level, the same as you or I. I'm n the flip side I've seen few worse but he probably does care but it's not enough for the good of the team.

He'll never be good enough, but it's not his fault he's playing way above his level. I don't expect him to say "boss, I'm clearly a load of shite, sell me to Rotherham please". We need him out though, he's awful.

[STM]

I hate it when people make it personal. It's different with managers because you see their personality every week on the TV.

 

This is Mike Williamson FFS, he looks as harmless as you can get. A nice guy, a good professional but a player way our of his depth at this level. I don't expect him to look at it like that, he probably thinks he's Maldini.

 

It's the old regime that is to blame. Pardew, Carver, Stone and to a lesser extent, the hierarchy for not replacing him.

 

None of us know McClaren's intentions. Let's pray.

[xLiaaamx]

I don't get why people act like he's a good pro when he's been part of one of the most unprofessional teams for the last 5 years

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I don't see anything unprofessional about him, unless it's unprofessional to be shit at your job.

[midds]

At what point does personal pride come into it though? Surely he knows himself that he's out of his depth to such an extent that his own fans ridicule him. At what point does he think "I'm getting rinsed every fucking week here, I'm showing myself up. I'll just look for another club a division lower."

 

I can understand the ego thing of wanting to stay in the PL. I can understand wanting to milk the opportunity for all its worth but come on, he's got to look himself in the mirror and his own pride needs to tell him to move on.

Come on minds. Humans don't think like that.

 

He has no idea he's not up to this level. Especially when he's been bigged up everyday for 3 years by our coaching staff.

Don't think that's the case at all. Remember an interview with him a few years ago and he actually said he couldn't believe a player like him was at a club the size of Newcastle. He'll know he's not good enough, and he isn't, but as long as they keep putting his name down on the teamsheet he's hardly going to refuse to play (like others have in the past). It's entirely the fault of the club that he's still here, not his and anyone booing him needs to give their head a shake. Hopefully he's moved on to a Championship club for a nominal fee but I've got a feeling he'll still be here this time next year.

[buzza]

He was abysmal yesterday, and against a lower division team. the way the player left him standing in the middle of the pitch and he was no where near recovering the ground. Somebody please sink "battleship mike" ffs!

This. I don't expect him to ask to leave. I expect him to improve though. Even marginal improvements in different areas of his game would make him less detestable. As it is, the cunt thinks he has it made, and I can't stand him for it.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Still be linked with Leeds... Must admit, I hate Leeds - so it'd be a win-win situation if he went there.

He's a Championship defender who is being hung out to dry by us, doesn't help that our other CB options are also poor which makes him look even worse.

 

Shouldn't be at our club, contract ends next year - mutually terminate his contract so he can move on now for free or send him somewhere on loan for a season so his contract runs out.

And you have a picture of him as your avatar

[Stifler]

In my option people weren't booing him for being crap, people were booing him for delibretly getting sent of against Liecester and his overall attitude.

If people were boing him for his bad performances then where was the boo's for the rest of the squad?
