General NUFC stuff

[joeyt]

Who's your least favourite player to have been assosciated with NUFC?

[samptime29]

Owen.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Probably Owen, aye, awful. Plenty of people in that era who should never have been signed and didn't deserve their money.

[joeyt]

Colback has to be up there

[Yorkie]

Yep, Owen and Colback. Rob Elliot and Sissoko are in the mix but - and this is deeply unfair on the lad himself - Joelinton is probably my number 3. He's the player that provides the biggest representation of this rancid, festering version of the club. When the takeover happens I hope he's shipped out immediately.

[frankpingel]

Colback for me as it was from the day he signed whereas others I grew to dislike.

[TRon]

Owen by a country mile. Never really liked having Barton associated with us either although I know he was a folk hero to some. Just seemed like a nasty cunt to me.

Do think that's harsh. If a takeover materialises I'd like to see him given another chance under a competent manager, ie my 3 choices should we get bought out: Benitez, Allegri, Pochettino.

[Shearergol]

Colback, Smith, Rush (always fucking hated him growing up) and Owen.

[Rocker]

I don't harbour any ill feelings for Joelinton at all. He's just not been very good for us. He's not picking himself. Seems like a likeable character.

Agree on Barton. He’s not far behind Owen for me. Somewhere halfway between Colback & Owen.

 

I don’t actually hate Dummett, I just think he’s shit.

[joeyt]

Used to hate Duff too

[Kanji]

Owen.

Don't get hating Barton. We've had loads worse than him.

[Guest]

We’ve had worse players but he was just a bellend. Didn’t like him one bit. The fact he wanted to come but wouldn’t hand in a transfer request to Man City, so we ended up having to pay an extra £300k on the fee was a cunt’s trick. Then there’s getting himself sent-off at Liverpool and missing the crucial run-in, just to put one on Xabi Alonso. He had a good 5 months spell when Carroll was on fire and he was out on the right, but the cult support he has is a bit weird.

You’ve missed out the worst part!

Getting locked up for 3 months?

 

Trying to punch Shearer?

Fair enough. Wouldn't say I loved him or owt, and the cult support is a bit OTT, but several players I disliked more.

Aye though I think the Shearer thing is linked to the Alonso red-card which is why it sticks in my mind I think! Sure he had a run-in with Hughton before the Championship season too and was bench at WBA.

[Doctor Zaius]

Barton had the cheek to call Newcastle fans vicious too.

Shola's is much weirder.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I actually really don’t like Kevin Nolan but obviously enjoyed some for the goals he scored for us.

 

Also think Matt Richie is annoying but I’ve begrudgingly warmed to the work he puts in.

[Guest]

Never warmed to him or Gayle for some reason.

I think the Shola thing was very tongue in cheek and surely nobody still goes along with it? Barton is loved for having a go at mackems on twitter. Apart from a few good games under Hughton and the penalties in the 4-4, he was at best a waste of space and not worthy of any sort of respect from fans. imo.

[Superior Acuña]

Owen. Colback. Was always a bit annoyed about Ab. Faye rubbing in a last minute equalizer against us, having played for us, for no reason.

 

Think part of the Barton thing is other fans hating him. Hard not to sing a guy's name loads when you see home fans seething (particularly remember this at Anfield..incidentally in the same game he got sent off). Also, he'd play up to our fans - pounding badge, winding mackems up.
