Chaser

So in the first thread he types "I know 4 players WE are after" then goes on to say that he's not a Geordie and tells us to fuck off? Wait until his dinnerbreak and he'll be back on here.

Is MA the new Doug Ellis?

so its shit then This place used to be a hive of activity but seems that its been quiet for over 6 months now, even during the season.

French for Pay Day?

Im interested in finding out whats going on over at Newcastle Online however theres no way I can join as I dont know my ISP email addy or password. Who runs the show over there and is there any way to contact them?? It just always seems a bit dead over here on the football side of things so wanted to see what shit they were making up over there.

not prepared to judge anyone until theyre wearing the Black & White.

Another one of the old guard

At least the Scandinavians can stick the weather up here and dont moan about it being too cold.

Thats just the thing that makes the reactions and comments funny though, If we had signed a player from the premiership who we knew about (E.g Lennon) then im sure a lot would be picking up on the negative sides of his game. Im sure there would be quite a few cautious posts however because no one even knows how the guy plays, everyone is full of blind optimism Superb.

Anyone know if we've been linked with him already this summer?

No club can compete on £30k a week

Mattock is supposed to be quite a prospect. I love how Colin Richards is bigging himself up yet Mcghee is bad mouthing him

The thing is, we are in no position geographically or competitively where we can offer low wages to good players to tempt them to come. It is a fact of todays market that if we are to tempt players away from London based clubs, we need to offer them something in return for not being in the capital. As we cannot offer European football, we need to tempt them with cash otherwise we are going to see bid after bid turned down. Unless this is an exercise to stop agents trying to squeeze silly money out of us, I can see it being another long season ahead

Another Dyer in that he has pace but no end product?

It was plain to see that after Turkey & Russia got through to the semis that their value has suddenly shot up. All on the back of 1 match.

I left for uni in 2001, and the board was up and running before that, a long way before. I would estimate somewhere round late 99/early 2000 that I first started using the original site.

Dont blame him, doesnt need the cash, cushy number watching football and giving an opinion and still picking up a wad. Private life pretty much left alone and plenty of time for social and family

Bresciano, Barnes, Wright Phillips & a Striker (Dont know much about Arshavin)

Ive always thought it would be good to have teams with some backing back in the prem. The likes of Forest, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd & Leeds will always have good support. I would have said Coventry but they had very poor attendances when they were up in the top division.

If Chelsea go through, whats the odds of them LOSING in Russia? Not likely

Tough one this as I despise both clubs, however think i'd rather Man Utd won the title rather than Chelsea. We can have a hand in what happens and lets hope we can hold Chelsea at our place, or even have a go at beating them.

Finished as a player, career wrecked by injury. Still bet he has a tasty bank balance though

Viduka was one of the highlights for me. Great control. Should have pulled the trigger when through on goal. Martins was a different player second half, seemed to be finding space although think Brum got a bit complacent and started pushing up creating space behind their midfield. One thing that certainly needs to be addressed is passing. First half, our completion rate must have been about 20% absolutely woeful for a so called professional outfit.

Smith always seems to be one of the few who actually gives a shit what result comes out at the end. He always puts in a shift, and despite him being played out of position, like others have said he gets on with it. For those to say he is the worst player ever, I honestly dont see him any worse than the likes of Emre or Barton in the current side, and certainly a class above the likes of Boumsong, Bramble, Luque (I could go on). A lot of people including myself gave Butt a hell of a lot of stick when he came and was garbage before he went on loan to Brum. Once he came back he was a different player. I would be tempted to stick with Smithy but certainly not in Midfield. If he is going to get a game, then put him up front. Viduka on the other hand, isnt what you need in a relegation fight. Sure on his day he can be a terrific player, but you just dont know which one of him is going to turn up.
