  1. I think he's a canny player and I'd like him to stay but if he wants 1st team football he's right to leave imo because he won't get a game when everyone's fit (nor should he). I don't see him getting better and better though. He's a decent footballer with limited attributes in terms of pace, athleticism and engine, he's also been around a bit and has plenty of experience and isn't that young (25 I think). I just don't see any scope for much improvement.

     

    I think his only competition in the 433 is Jonas???? and thats debatable.

    Both offer different things although I prefer Jonas there. Ideally I'd like to see what Vuckic could do there though if we're playing a 3. I think the 3 suits Guthrie though. I would probably only play 433 at home though and even then not against all the opposition. That's a different debate though I suppose.

  2. I thought he was called Dan. Leazes is called Steve btw.

     

    You're quite informed for someone who's only made 20-odd posts ?

     

    Sorry, I thought we were doing introductions. I'm Cheyne btw.

  4. His three best signings in Speed, Given and Solano were very good though and contributed a huge amount long term but as others have said there were so many poor signings for every good one. Worse still were the players he let go. Also, to say Ferdinand was never the same after leaving us is harsh. He was still a very dangerous striker and Spurs fans remember him very fondly.

     

    Still reckon Souness was far worse than Dalglish though.

    Neither really gave a fuck about NUFC like which was part of the problem.

  5. Neither Liverpool or Everton are in Europe. What wouldve been wrong with playing their semi final midweek and thus allowing Chelsea the Saturday slot?

     

    The FA change fixtures for TV companies, the police and any other fuckin thing (world cup years etc) so why they couldnt bend for this is beyond me.

    Aye, good shout. Probably a bit too sensible to be considered though.

  6. Basically anyone who didn't have doubts about whether Ben Arfa was gonna succeed at NUFC earlier in the season was kidding themselves. "Just pick him" wasn't the answer, which is why Pardew deserves credit.

     

    Not sure how Chez is in that list mind.

    Do you go to the games?

  7. There's been too much emphasis placed on people being right and wrong on here over the last couple of years. This new lad has signed up, immediately attacked Baggio and then came on demanding people admit they were wrong.

     

    That's right, Leazesmag, I'm onto you.

    Ok, Blaydon.

  8. It shows who the daddies are though, wouldn't happen the other way round. You look at them, like Sunderland look at us.

     

    Yes it would, they already spend more time singing about us than any other club, even their own sometimes.

    You mean if they'd been in your shadow for 20 years they'd try and get a bite whenever they could? Aye, you're probably right. I can't see that theory being tested any time soon though.

  9. It goes back to Man U dropping football club from their club crest.

    That's fucking tragic on your part. No wonder they laugh at you lot on an almost daily basis.

     

    Tragic? Get a grip. It's just what football fans do. Man U fans themselves were up in arms about it.

    I meant tragic in that you think it would remotely bother them. Perhaps pathetic would be more apt though. They're laughing either way.

  10. He could've played kids in the reserves and not worried about the results for a year or two. But no, he had to get Des Hamilton in to bolster the squad. Ketsbaia and Dabizas were worse than the players we already had as well. The former was fucking shite imo but surely that's moot anyway in a defence of the then manager, given Dalglish didn't want play him while he thought it would be a good idea to play Dabizas in central midfield in the first game of the season against Charlton. I'd almost be inclined to say you're letting your contrary nature and irrational hatred of Keegan get in the way of your good judgement, Baggio. But I won't because that would infer you were capable on that score.

  11. Funny to see all the people who wrote Ben Arfa off now citing Pardew's decision to leave him out as managerial genius. I would say that it wouldn't hurt for the likes of Baggio, Chez Given and Christmas Tree to admit they were wrong, but it clearly would.

  12. It wasn't just a bus crash, there's nee nice way to die, but that was one of the worst, a lot of them dead people probably knew they were going to die, it's hard even writing it. It wasn't their fault, all this rampaging scousers bollocks, we'd be exactly the same if not worse, in fact I could guarantee you now if we got to the Semi in 1989, we'd have thousands upon thousands of ticketless fans, which evidently Liverpool didn't really have. There's no blame on them for the disaster, I think scousers as people though have a deep rooted victim mentality of injustice, and they have a point in this one case, it's a disgrace a country that prides itself as being the fairest most transparent on earth, has not released these files for 23 years. It's a fucking disgrace. If I was scouse I think I'd probably still feel raw about it.

    Spot fucking on

    Aye, I couldn't even watch that Jimmy McGovern thing on the telly as it made me so angry so you can see where they're coming from. I don't agree about them dictating when they'll play though.

  13. Whilst I'm never one to stem the flow of a Dalglish pile-on, but didn't he sign Solano for us? Pretty sure he did like.

    Aye, he did. His overall record was poor though (in terms of who he shipped out as well as who he brought in).

    I

     

    Not really, it was the injury to Shearer that ruined it for him as he just didn't have the goals in the team without him.

     

    Hamann, Speed, Given and Solano were great signings, I think JDT could have been too if he was played behind Shearer which was apparently what he was bought for.

     

    The only player he sold that went on to play as well was Ginola.

    I agree he was unlucky with the Shearer injury but his incomings and outgoings definitely weakened the club. Also, he wanted to play Speed wide left, Hamann as an attacking midfielder and Solano as a no. 10 so I think it's fair to say that his signings not only failed to flourish under him but probaly wouldn't have done so had he stayed (we'll never know though). I don't see Hamann as being a great signing for us either, although he was undoubtedly a good player when deployed just in front of the back four at Liverpool but he was decent for us, nothing more (especially in relation to what went before he arrived).
