Guest khyberpass Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Strange to be having a pop at nufc.com, as it supported many of our views when nowt else did..... The 2 lads are top blokes, and its like anybody you know...you'll agree with some of their opinions and disagree with others. I admit that I have concerns over Sam. I'll support his tenure, and I really do want him to succeed, but I would have preferred Ranieri (just my opinion). I'd rather be honest than sway around like the Titanic before the bugger sank... Some of you buggers must be low on friends if you treat everybody like you do on this website! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Some of you buggers must be low on friends if you treat everybody like you do on this website! There's a subtle difference between the internet and real life Nah I think it's decent really, and there's nothing wrong with being opinionated, but as a popular Newcastle site obviously people are going to critique some of what they say, they should take it as a compliment, people are reading it.

Guest graemeh72 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 two blokes with opinions that run a website about newcastle united fine by me personally, i like it, i find the site very useful and amusing But I understand if others don't However, if you want to bash a nufc website, surely it has to be this one ... http://www.newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/ fuck me, what a bunch of know nothing cunts!

Crumpy Gunt Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 2 weeks ago their site was telling everyone that there was no sense in letting Bramble leave the Club. They are now using the word 'lummox' to describe him..... As far as we can tell, it's the football club who play at the JJB looking to capture Bramble - not the rugby league outfit.... Sort of an embarrassing contradiction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are now using the word 'lummox' to describe him..... As far as we can tell, it's the football club who play at the JJB looking to capture Bramble - not the rugby league outfit.... Sort of an embarrassing contradiction. Both valid in my view - at times he was/is a lummox but the point that a decent coach could have got some good out him is also a fair one. Also I'd say the original was more of a serious point and the latter, after he had left, more of a piss-take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of an embarrassing contradiction. Two blokes two opinions? - You'll find that most media channels have different Journos with different views Moreover, I think that dot com said that the decision to let Bramble go was an incredibly quick one given that every player "started from a clean slate" with Allardyce. Yes Bramble can be great on his day (twice against Chelsea at SJP spring to mind), but his day is all too rare in 38 league games. Bramble can be class but more often than not is a lummox.... Contradictory performances by Bramble surely lead to contradictory reporting by dot com Nufc.com have their strengths and weaknesses, and whatever your view on site advertising surely they must be commended for the hard work and effort that they put in 365 days of the year. There is such a dearth of quality analysis being written about this club by professional journalists that I personally pay more attention to Niall and Biffa over Louise Taylor, Bob Cass, Lee Ryder, and Alan Oliver any day.

Greg Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 They are entitled to their opinions just like anyone else is and have been running a magnificent web-based service for NUFC news for what must be knocking on 10 years. They are 2 blokes (both cracking lads) who have day to day jobs yet still knock out a very, very good NUFC website. Can only echo what Paully has said, I've only met one half on nufc.com and he is a cracking bloke and they are putting out a very good website.

Guest johnson293 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 In that article when they questioned releasing Bramble, did they not alude to there being other 'non-footballing' reasons for his sudden release, despite all players supposedly being given a clean slate? I think that first article was clearly just another chance to question Allardyce, rather than a glowing reference to Bramble. If it wasn't, then it is strange that they label him a lummox just a few weeks later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 By clean slate, I'd imagine Allardyce meant people like Babayaro & Luque, ie, players who are still contracted to Newcastle. Could Allardyce justify giving Bramble a clean slate and a new contract? B*llocks could he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
