Chaser

championship player

Im not suggesting yet that everything in the garden is rosy because i remember the 9 games where Souness went unbeaten. However, it seems like theres been a sudden transformation in fortunes and that cant be down to luck. It seems like the players are playing with a smile on their faces once again

5 games no losses the roeder winning machine rolls on

well in the 8 years ive been using .com, ive never had a prob in past and now im in this unusual position of being able to access t'internet but not .com

still down for me - anyone know a solution or is there any good news stories im missing out on?

woodgates out injured

anyone know anything?

chelsea vs newcastle shit

rose tinted Faye tbh

Babayaro has a kind of "scissor" tackle which sometimes comes off, often doesnt. I just feel theres something about him which isnt right at Newcastle.

Does anyone look at Babayaro and think that he doesnt fit in at Newcastle? I still cant see him as a Newcastle player despite being with us over a year now.

we lost genuine passion for the club when we sold Hughes, if nothing more he was a great squad player because of his versatility.

Loving this thread, bashing the backslappers of N-O. Theyve all been working overtime in homework class to produce these flyers/banners

he'll be released without charge.... No point in having bellamy if Owen stays however i cant see the latter hanging about long.

Its very early days and we've played only 2 games, however we've managed to score 4 goals during those 2 games and we've looked to be creating chances for those up front, something which we havent seen at our place for quite some time. Neither Roeder or Shearer have the necessary coaching badges, Tommy Craig does. What if Roeder and Shearer continued this run of form and kept on getting good results at home and away. It doesnt take a lot to put good players in their right positions and let them play, something which Souness couldnt understand. Would the Roeder/Shearer partnership continue? Look at the following Kneejerk Partnership Both have denied that they want the job - Shearer has said it has come too early, while Roeder has said that he doesnt want the stress levels associated with it. By sharing the role, with Shearer taking a coaching role and Roeder the man management side of things, it shares the pressure out so that both are accountable rather than just one of them. Roeder appears to be the calmer of the two, saying the right things to the press, looking to be addressing the concerns of the players and admitting that there are areas to be worked upon. Shearer on the other hand is the coach who leads by example, and can motivate the team where it is needed. Qualifications Neither have the necessary qualifications however Tony Craig has his Pro-Licence. If Craig is installed as one of the head coaches, does this not allow the partnership to continue while they work towards their pro-licences? Big Appointment = Trophies?? We've previously been a club who has looked to taking on big names as managers - iconic players who have gone into management after their playing careers have finished. With this, big wages and big egos have arrived. We've seen that with Dalglish, Gullit and Souness. Robson was a proven winner on a managerial level so cannot be regarded in this same group. Is it necessary that we have to appoint a big name to manage this club? Stability and continuity count for a lot in football and the best teams (aside from moneybags Chelsea) have had managers installed for several years. Roeder and Shearer already work within the club so the players know who they are, they know who the players are and we may not see the clearouts we have seen previously when we have changed managers. Like i said its early days, but if this does continue, can Freddy overlook it? There have been suggestions from others on here that by coming out publicly and saying they dont want the role of manager, both are taking pressure off themselves. Results are everything and the last 2 games have shown promise in workrate, commitment and flair.

I think Macdonald talks a lot of Sh1te to be honest. He's very uninformed for a pundit and doesnt see that much of the team. I'd say Gatesy was the best of the three. Slaven is too anti-Newcastle to be anything decent

amazing that as soon as souness goes, the injury list begins to clear up.

With Bobby all the way on that one - he's right to have a dig because he had done a magnificent job with us and its all been taken apart by Souness. I believe we would have achieved Euro qualification last season if Bobby had still been in charge.

that proves that he's better internationally Souness for England!

If Emre goes, we should get the cash back we paid for him, and should at least get the money we paid for Owen if he decides enough is enough. If Luque is sold then i fear we'll lose on him, if not struggle to sell him like Viana.

6 months on and sentiments havent really changed. I think there was a blip when we went on a signing spree of owen/solano/clark etc. I was hoping id be proven wrong but it seems to be panning out as i predicted

i dont remember him being as bad when he first came as he is now. I seem to remember him having the pace to clear things up, make some well timed tackles etc however he seems to have got a LOT worse. I know he's had family problems but i thought he was over those

i cant believe he's got international experience when we consider our young lads Taylor and Ramage better than him

Embarrassing tbh Very dodgy that this guy was sold to us for £8million - he's not worth 800k with the performances he's putting in of late.

sound good from what ive heard, will have to get the album for a proper listen Boyo what would you prefer to listen to ??
