Excellent article, but... Is this really the case?

If in doubt, always say FFS.

Sad.

Would still have rather spent £8m on him, than £10m on Martins. How many goals has he scored this season?

Far more like Ronaldinho than a holding midfielder, at least.

Emre always works his bollocks off, hence why he always fights to get the ball back. Because of that the idiot in charge seems to think he's a holding midfielder, and demonstrates his favouritism by playing Parker as an attacking midfielder, when quite clearly the roles should be reversed. It's also not Emre's fault that nobody gets into good positions for him to pass to. He shows great commitment to still be playing when Roeder plays him out of his ideal position (interesting how he's also played supporting the striker under Roeder).

Luque might get a sniff at the bench now if he's lucky.

That is true. Souness did a good job for a period of time at Blackburn, and had won the League Cup, which to be fair is more than what Roeder has done. I didn't jump on the bandwagon myself, but came to viewpoint he should be sacked not long into last season. As I've already stated Roeder has no clue how to manage a club, so our chances of success with him are non-existent.

Just... why?

We've lost 6 out of the first 9. The man didn't sign any defenders in the summer and he can't coach the ones we've got to anything above schoolyard level. His coaching team is a fucking mess and he spashed £10m on someone that I don't think he has a clue how to use to the best of his ability. If we persevere with him we could end up in BIG trouble. Very well said, though wasn't it you who thought Souness should have had two years, or something similar? Roeder has no clue how to handle players. His previous track record is enough for us to gather he simply cannot manage, plus he stated he wasn't up the job himself, but he still got appointed. Roeder and Shepherd are both pathetic. It would be unfair to say Roeder needs a whole to clear up Souness' mess, as we've now reached the point where's it all Roeder's fault, and I'm now starting to remember at times, how well the team could play. He was still awful mind. What's your point re Souness? Souness was actually a more accomplished manager than Roeder, and had a record of at least SOME success. I just thought you said you would always give a manager a chance of at least two years. Apologies if this is wrong.

Roeder's still a great manager though.

Looks like Roeder will wait to the last five minutes for his substitutions and is playing for a draw.

A good question, and it's about time we had an answer to it. And another question that needs to be answered is why Rossi is not getting more playing time. Roeder believes in the logic of small striker must play alongside a tall striker. That's why he thinks Ameobi or Sibierski must be playing, no matter how good they are, how well they are playing, or how injured they are.

Highly unlikely. Maybe that was just me being pessimistic.

I bet if he moves club, he'll start showing consistency for a prolonged period, and will start showing why he was rated so highly years ago.

Having lived in Nottingham, and visited friends regularly in Manchester, this is utter tosh. I've got to agree despite putting that up. Just thought I'd share it. Nottingham is great, and I have relatives there of different ages and they love it. I remember a previous list that had Ashford (near where I live). That was a joke, as it's a chav-infested hole. Has Cineworld, even though each screen is tiny with only about 100 seats. At least Canterbury has some history...

Great, Ramage back to left-back. If any of the three centre-halfs there shuld play there, it's Taylor. But I'd choose Duff or Zog ahead of him.

Who would be mad enough to pay £500,000 for him?

Such adorable children. Football matches across the country providing a great opportunity to experience young kids in their prime today.

He was poor in the first-half, but improved later, and made some good blocks and tackles. Still no evidence for reason to be raved about though.

Charlton are the team after Newcastle I like to see do well, being my "local" team. Iain Dowie is a bit of a knob though.

Peter Ramage is not sublime. But he had an excellent game against Fenerbahce, and there's no doubting that. It wasn't the only great game he's played at centre-half either.

I was raised from a broken seed, I grew up to be and unwanted weed. Ever faster the time exceeds me, little harder again to remember...you. Held a torch for you, when lightning stroke me, once again, hope I died for the last time. Only one I have a thing greater than you, little light on the sky every night. Morning dew on the field, where I met you. I was frozen a year, couldn't get through. Got a sign, not a scar, on my shoulder, I am not quite the man you take me for... Fell in love with the weakness within me. Tried to force me the Ring and own me. Guess you found what you'd think would oblige me, little version of me to consume you... I'd give my everything to you, follow you thru the garden of oblivion. If only I could tell you everything, the little things you'll never dare to ask me... Do you really know me? I might be a God. Show me that you care and have a cry. How do you see me?... as the one? Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding. How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you. When my pain is my pain and your is too... On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child. Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear... Seven lifes of a man, passed before me. Seven graves, one for every love I've had. Only once I have broken my so called heart. Only one made me see why they cry. Will I learn how to be one of you someday? Will I still feel the eyes that behold me. Will I hear what you think, when you see me? Will it tear me apart if you feel for me... I 'd give my everything to you, follow you thru the garden of oblivion. If only I could tell you everything, the little things you'll never dare to ask me... Do you really know me? I might be a God. Show me that you care and have a cry. How do you see me?... as the one? Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding. How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you. When my pain is my pain and your is too... On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child. Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear... Little broken , always been, a part of you belongs to me. You were never mine to love, but this all has made it easy for me... Burning feathers, not an angel, Heaven's closed , Hell's sold out. So I walk on the earth, behind the curtains, hidden from everyone, until I find a new life to ruin again On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child. Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear... On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child. Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...
