Recommended Posts

And in his first season, just the 7 goals (although he was injured a canny bit), all of them came in wins.

so what your saying he is some kind of footballing God, and it's for some other reason other than football that he has never played for a decent team?

I wish there was such a thing as an "Internet ASBO"

 

Some people just don't deserve an internet connection ... for tehir own good!

 

there was a rule that banned WUM's recently but that has now gone for no reason.

 

I can't believe your still pissed at the absolute pasting you got the last time you claimed I was a WUM, with your pathetic fumblings and whining like a little girl

 

"absolute pasting" propa gansta m8 lol.

 

im fairly certain that in internet parlance, abusive PM's about my mother is as desperate as it gets.  :smitten:

I think in the past 5 years,Vidukas temperament and attitude have left a lot to be desired tbh.But he has always scored goals and in Big Sam has a manager better than his previous 3,i.e O'Leary,MacClaren and Southgate.

And I'd say playing for Celtic & Leeds (when they were in their prime) isn't bad going.

 

find me anyone who even rates Celtic by Premiership standards, and find me a time when anyone has ever begged for a Celtic player to sign for NUFC, I can only think of Larsson, that's pretty shit going for a great team

 

also, Leeds in their prime? shame that lasted 2 seasons and the same players including the fat footballing God got the team relegated

He still managed 11 League goals the year they went down.  And what about Shearer? You could say he "only" played for Southampton, Blackburn & Newcastle.

Scotty is supposed to be earning considereably more than The Hammers currently best earning player Lucas Neill with 72.000 per week. Although Parker was always one of my absolute favourites at Newcastle(I did even bough a new shirt with 17 and Parker on the back :undecided: ) paying him such wages is just nuts! This new owner of West Ham, Magnusson or whatever his name is, doesn't seem to have a clue of dealing with a football club's financial structure....or he's just way too rich and doesn't care a bit!

 

Anyway...2 million profit on Parker is a brilliant piece of business after such a huge letdown this season. Big Sam's going to bring our finance and wage balance back to healthy level or what's the point with the current trend? Going for free transfers only and selling our big earners! With Ashley's money he culd do so much better...

I always think that the measure of someones time at NUFC will be the reception they get when they return for their new club at St James. For me Parker, will get a polite seated applause if taken off as a sub or comes to the Strawberry corner to take a corner or free kick.

 

Standing ovation? No chance, but at the same time i bear him no ill will.

Honestly, I can't see that happening. You may feel that way, and I agree with you, but there are many people who don't. I get the feeling if he does go to West Ham, and he plays at SJP next season, he'll likely get jeered with a few boos thrown in. And knowing our luck, he'll play a blinder in the process.

Says on the site, where you buy the shirt that you 'buy personalised shirts at your own risk' or something. So i dunno.

Aye, you're screwed with that one. I was on a few weeks ago, and they're still offering ROSSI 15 as an option for the new shirt.

I dont think there's any reason whatsoever to boo him.

Some bollocks about Barton

 

Further to this, I asked Andy Leggott of Vital Manchester City a few questions, here is what he had to say:

 

1) What do you think of Joey Barton as a player?

 

Joey Barton is a good midfielder in an average side. He firmly believes he is a sort of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard rolled into one. The reality is he falls some way short of those aspirations. His passing is far from consistent and his set pieces are awful. However he is a combatative midfielder who will give his team everything. He will get goals from midfield and create chances for an effective strikeforce. He is a marked man however and opposition players, supporters and referees tend to treat him on reputation alone.

 

2) Will you be sorry to see him go?

 

I'm always sorry when an academy player leaves the club, especially one who has managed international honours. Again though, Joey has had one chance too many at City and I believe the club have no option but to sell him. If we can recoup £5.5 million for him then I'll say goodbye reluctantly and wish him well.

 

3) What do you think of Joey Barton as a person and does his private life affect his game?

 

Joey Barton is a better person than the national media give him credit for. His charity work is second to none within the club and he is far removed from the brother he is often portrayed as. That said he clearly has anger management problems that he cannot control and that is where the problems lie.

 

4) Do you think he'd do a good job for Villa or does he carry too much baggage?

 

Maybe a new club and fresh start is what he needs. O'Neil may have more success in controlling his off field activities and temperament. On the downside his ego may be too big for dressing room harmony (he reportedly upset several England players when called up recently). I'd put £5.5 million as too much of a risk despite the positives on the field.

I agree, but there will be a lot of people who don't, that's all I'm saying. Jesus, just look at the calibre of twat they interview on SSN when they ask the 'fans' on the street. Complete ignorance is a hard thing to account for.

Any truth in the rumour that Vic has been commissioned to bring Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People up to date for a 21st Century audience?
