In the face of "disagreement"? Surely you mean logic? How can you respect someone who uses facts when they suit them and ignore them when they don't and refuses to move an inch? The man is a joke.

You've certainly got Leaze's nack for avoiding the question anyway.

And you respect that attribute in a person?

Your main point is what exactly? That the performances at the end of last season papered over the cracks and it has taken a full year to assess everyone? Is that what you're saying?

I'm not talking about a massive overhaul, I'm talking specifically about Bramble, Carr and Babyaro. As a club employee I'm sure that Roeder had seen Bramble go through phases of being an excellent centre back under Souness but he also saw how bad he could be and that the concentration lapses kept returning. As for Carr and Babyaro even at the end of last season most people highlighted those two players as not being good enough and the need for replacements. Whilst these problems were obvious to everyone else Roeder either didn't see them or ignored them and now he has to address them 12 months later with a season of mediocrity wasted. Glenn Roeder knows nothing now about those three players that wasn't glaringly obvious last summer and to say he does is ridiculous, the fact is that he is now faced with problems he should have sorted out last summer but chose not to.

I hope you see why that statement is a little iffy in comparison to what Roeder inherited. Yes there is a huge difference in the standard of squad between us and Man Utd, however as much as we all slag off the current group of players we have at the club he took over a club with some good players that finished 7th in the league last year. He then had 15 million, which to most of the clubs in the league is a hell of alot of money, and we are going backwards... I'm not sure we're going backwards. I think this season has been a massive disappointment for everyone, but at the same time, it's been a useful reality check for all concerned. The acid test for Roeder is now what happens this upcoming summer. If he messes up this summer, and next season begins poorly, then I'll be more than willing to revise my opinion of him downwards. But I think he's made a few realisations this term, and we'll see whether he learns and puts things right. What does he know now that he couldn't have known last summer? More self-realisations, and an awareness that the club wasn't as good as he may have thought. When you look at the way things went for him last season, compared to this, then it's clear what the difference is between last summer and this. Self-realisations? You reckon he's finally cottoned on that he's not up to the job? And despite our good run of form towards the end of last season I think most of us knew that Bramble was always a liability and we needed two new full-backs. I don't think many of our players have improved or gotten worse since last season but what has changed is that our performances have been terrible. Let's not forget that Roeder wasn't an outsider coming into the job, he was at the club and I'm sure saw most of our games and knew the score with most of our players and as such shouldn't have needed a year to realise that some of our players just aren't good enough for the team.

It's taken him a year to realise that we need more than one scout?

Because of the clash with Bellamy?

Duo told to fight for future Two players - One contract Bramble vs. Onyewu in a fight to the death. Now that would certainly sell more shirts.

Fellas acting camp in a gay bar?! Well I never.

In general? You reckon? Well, for me, at least. I can't play computer games alone, it's simply not enjoyable. So those 457 minutes you spent in the arcade were with a mate were they?

Cue the jokes about everyone using the bridge dying as no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

And Sibierski and Bernard clearly are at the peak of their games.

I just had a look on ebay there and people trying to sell them aren't even getting the £425 they paid for them and everywhere online seems to have them in stock.

So they still aren't freely available? I've just checked Argos and they don't have any near me at all. Also what has to be bought with them? I see you can buy classic controls, nunchuck controls and remote controls, I presume its the remote controls I'd be after? And is a memory card a neccessity or is there any built in memory?

Jeezy weptizzle.

I quite like being up about 5am-6am whether it be coming home at that time or getting up and being out a couple of hours before the town starts to get busy, there's something nice about walking round near deserted streets.

Shite, too black. They should've had the NR logo a different colour to brighten the shirt up, even pink would've been alright.

Bramble waiting by the phone. And it's a mobile. Thick as a plank tbh.

I'm still worried about the lack of white in the strip, looks like we're just going to have 3 white stripes on the shirt.

Ireland are though to the Super Eights! Just a pity that myself and most of Ireland haven't got a fucking clue about cricket.

Half of Fergie's rant doesn't make sense, its just random words placed around swear words.
