If he proves himself elsewhere then it could be an option down the line, but he should NOT get the job just for being Lee Clark.

Got a waterproof DAB in the bathroom, perfect in the morning when in the bath or shower.

Against the top 6 (Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bolton, Tottenham) With Scott Parker Played 18 Won 5 Drawn2 Lost11 Points 17 Average points per game 0.94 Without Scott Parker Played 4 Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 2 Points 6 Average points per game 1.5 Surely thats you using stats purely to back up your argument which anyone can do. Its not really a comparison 18 being compared to 4, and even if it was 18 with being compared to 18 without its still proving feck all as other players etc surely come into it.. Yes it is me using stats to back up my argument, I've thought for a while that we play better without Scott Parker in the side so I decided to have a look at it. 18 compared 4 does prove fuck all your right. But the overall statistic shows that we generally do better without Parker. Overall with Scott Parker Played 48 Won 16 Drawn 10 Lost 22 Points 58 Average points per game 1.20 Overall without Scott Parker Played 18 Won 11 Drawn 3 Lost 4 Points 30 Average points per game 1.66 And more notably away playing 15 less games without him than we have with him in the side yet earning more points, then again he has played in most of the away games against top 6 sides.

That is both, home and away. So what is your opinion on Parker?

I've become increasingly pissed off with the performances of Scott Parker and more so how we play as a team when Parker is in the starting XI. He only ever seems to stand out when we have a shit game and lose and bar the odd good performance such as against Liverpool at home this season I feel we are a much better side without Scott Parker. So I decided to have a little look at how we have done since he arrived at St James' Park in June 2005. These statistics are for League games only and I have only counted games where Parker starts. Home record with Scott Parker Played 24 Won 12 Drawn 7 Lost 5 Points 43 Average points per game 1.79 Home record without Scott Parker Played 9 Won 6 Drawn 2 Lost 1 Points 20 Average points per game 2.22 Away record with Scott Parker Played 24 Won 4 Drawn 3 Lost 17 Points 15 Average points per game 0.62 Away record without Scott Parker Played 9 Won 5 Drawn 1 Lost 3 Points 16 Average points per game 1.77 Overall with Scott Parker Played 48 Won 16 Drawn 10 Lost 22 Points 58 Average points per game 1.20 Overall without Scott Parker Played 18 Won 11 Drawn 3 Lost 4 Points 30 Average points per game 1.66 Against the top 6 (Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bolton, Tottenham) With Scott Parker Played 18 Won 5 Drawn2 Lost11 Points 17 Average points per game 0.94 Without Scott Parker Played 4 Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 2 Points 6 Average points per game 1.5 He has scored 4 league goals at an average of a goal every 12 games. He has two assists, an average of an assist every 24 games. All these stats show that we are better without Scott Parker, away from home especially. We have gained more points away from home without Parker than when he is in 15 less games. There is no doubt he can go in hard and slide tackle and will always give 100% but he is not a great passer of the ball, his touch is not good enough and he often needs a second touch, his positional sense is not as good as it should be and he passes the ball sideways and backwards far too much, and his stupid insistence on turning in circles in the middle of the pitch. He needs to at least be dropped, I'd prefer to see N'Zogbia in central midfield along side Nicky Butt than Scott Parker, but I doubt Roeder has the balls to do that. It was a big mistake making him club captain. Thoughts on Parker? And more so how we play as a team with and without him in the side?

Emre's free kicks have been nothing short of shocking, he barely hits the fucking target. But he has the ability. I'll never forget his free kick against Sunderland.

With Emre, Solano and Milner and even N'Zogbia it is shocking we have not scored from a free kick yet this season.

Just gone through each match report on Nufc.com, yes I'm that bored... And we have not scored a single goal direct from a free kick this season.

Get on very well with my Dad, which can only be a good thing. Lost my mother when I was 10, perhaps why I am so close to and get on very well with my Dad.

It's the tiered pricing structure that used to do my head in. Why do they think that wealthy clubs = wealthy supporters. Fulham this season is a prime example: v Manchester City - £25.00 v Manchester United - £45.00 (cue jokes that Man Utd supporters will have less travelling expenses to Fulham ) Blackburn Rovers v Bolton Wanderers - £15.00 v Manchester United - £36.00 Both games 'local' derbies! For the percentage of away tickets that most clubs sell, surely they can implement a single pricing structure without drastically altering their match day revenue Used to boil my piss, pleased I'm out of it now. Supply and demand in operation. Should football be a special case with protected prices? For away tickets, yes. If a home club wants to charge more for their supporters when they play against Man United etc then fair enough, but they shouldn't be allowed to charge more to the away fans who are being punished by supporting Man United, Newcastle etc. We are Category A for many away games for some reason. Why should I be charged considerably more to watch my team play against Birmingham City at St. Andrews than a Tottenham supporter to watch his team play against Birmingham City at St. Andrews?

Surely it was a White diagonal cross on a Blue background Obviously, thats how I knew it was a Scotland flag, but I couldn't read the writing on it!

Was some Scottish people in front of me at the match today, whipped out a Scotland Flag when the teams came out, was that you? I thought our support today was very good in numbers but distinctly average in terms of noise. No mate, we were in N1 about half a dozen rows from the back, but I knew there were a few Rangers fan coming down to watch the toon as it was discussed on the website follow follow. Ah right, well there was a group in front of me about 7 or 8 of them and I was in the row behind so couldn't see what was on their flag.

Tevez set to start up front for West Ham and Bent could be back for Charlton! West Ham could be bottom by the end of today.

Happy Birthday!

Best chance yet was when we fucked it up in Lisbon.

We've used all our subs. So we have. Forgot Babayro went off at half time. Been so fucking boring I've hardly noticed.
