Ridiculous to even give ONE page to talking about what the Mackems think - I don't care what they think and frankly, the only time I bother about them is when we play them.

As I said about Fulham, they are CURRENTLY more successful than us because they are in the Prem but ir doesn't make them a bigger or better club because our record over the last 16 years is much better than theirs.

 

Whether they are a BETTER-RUN club than us will be seen over the next year or so because if we struggle in the Prem and they don't it shows that they have backed their manager in the market. If NUFC give Hughton the right financial support, we have every chance of equalling or bettering their performance.

 

End of story - more concerned with catching the likes of Villa & Everton frankly.

one step at a time, surival and consolidation first then start looking further upwards

Kluivert makes our top ten list too  :)

 

Kluivert  :smitten:

 

Why didn't you keep him? Did he want to leave, or was it the club's decision? I followed him in the year he played for you and I thought he did reasonably well given the clueless managing.

 

i'm sure souness around the time his fallout with bellamy was playing an injured kluivert up front with shearer instead of bellamy. i still think we should have kept him on personally, he got 14 goals, which was only 3 shy of oba martins' best scoring season for us

What's the difference between a better club, and being more successful? I'm failing to see the difference. I'd agree you are a bigger club than Fulham, yes.

I loved Kluivert. Especially during his Barca days, I was only fairly young when we signed him so I remember being dead excited.

 

He was very lazy however he did show some touches of class. I think if he'd played under Robson we'd have seen more of the class tbh, definately. Under Souness, despite scoring 14 goals in his debut season, he underperformed a little, as did the rest of the team. I think we should have kept him, however his wages, our failure to qualify for Europe and him playing a part in what was a season that failed to live up to (realistic) expectations played a part in him seeking pastures new.

 

It's a shame because he was certainly a massively talented guy, infact I'd go as far as saying he's probably one of the most talented players we've had in recent times. I just think that under Robson, we'd have seen more of the sheer class from Kluivert that we unfortunatly only seen in spells here.

Ah Patrick Kluivert; to relate it to the back to thread, probably better than any player to turn out for the mackems in my lifetime.

 

Whey Kevin Phillips is the best striker thats ever played the game.

 

 

 

 

They were recently claiming in all seriousness that Quinn and Phillips were better than Shearer and Ferdinand.

 

 

;D ;D :spit:

That's off the link I just posted.

 

Good to see Wyn and Pop Robson still hanging in there.

 

No love for the Scottmiester?

This gushing over Kuivert is a bit over the top tbh. Four of his goals came against a weak ass Bnei Sakhnin.

 

Couldn't agree more - he really wasn't anywhere near as good people are trying to make out.

He was that good, he just never gave a flying fuck when he played for us.

We should start making things up too.

 

 

Regularly make up bullshit about us wrecking stuff as well, some guy started a thread when we got promoted saying that the metros were off and he'd heard it was because we were rioting, when it was actually because some old fella fell under a metro.

 

Great craic that thread :lol:

 

"The Quayside webcam is down! It must be because they're wrecking the place! It's a conspiracy!"  :frantic:
