I don't know why people are saying that Parker won't play the holding role. He did it brilliantly last season. The problem has been that neither of them have been prepared to get into the box enough and support the attackers. Emre finally did this in the second half on Sunday. The problem seems to be that Roeder see's Emre as the holding player and Parker as the one to be further forward (he's said this in the past iirc) which is just plain wrong for me. Perhaps when Butt comes on Roeder changes the instructions.

The missus got an invite to a special opening there last week and she thought it was excellent. Mind you, she quite liked that shite buffet in the gate

Cheers, I keep meaning to look all the easter eggs. Mind you, I struggle to get time to watch all of the films never mind the extras.

My copy is a region 1 though. Will it still be there?

If you've got a programmable DVD player you can programme the chapters to play in the right order. I've never bothered though. Class film. I might be able to do that if I could find the instructions. Not sure I would bother either like.

I deleted it all except O Valencia and The Crane Wife part 3 on first listen, so I've never been able to give it another chance. I could just tell I would never get into it; unlike the new Newsom, which I am dubious about but will give it a proper go. I just can't be dealing with grossly long narrative songs. It doesn't have the stand out songs of likes of Sixteen Military Wives, We Both Go Down Together or The Infanta but overall I just think it is a really good album. Y's is getting excellent reviews from little I've heard I can't see me ever really going for it. I think you've really got to be in the mood for her voice. Finally been able to "get hold" of Ys and I love the shit out of it. I'm still getting no where at all with it tbh. Candy Bars - On Cutting Ti-Gers In Half And Understanding Narravation

NBNW is one of the best films ever. Fact! Grant is at his very best (other than perhaps in The Philidelphia Story) and Mason is a fantastic villan. The Changeling. Very good 70's haunted house film with George C Scott on top form as usual. Bits of it were completely ripped off in The Others. Memento. Seen it loads of times and it's still brillian. When I first started watching it though I was wishing I could watch in a linear time as I just wanted the story to get going. By the end though I remembered why it is so great played in the way it is.

TBF Emre was shit on Thursday alongside Butt so you can't say that it's Parker making him struggle. Emre only plays well when he pushes forward and he should be able to that with Parker or Butt. Personally I would go with Parker and Dyer. I think Parker is a better player than Butt although Butt is doing very well at the moment.

Shouldn't any attacks against Freddie be in the Newcastle forum?

Same here tbh.

After the length of time it's took you to reply in this thread I was expecting a little more.

Just don't be going into the hot tub!

Wouldn't argue with that. I said last night that we are basically playing without a full team beacuse we don't have any fullbacks at the club who are worth a place in the squad.

Rammage is getting tortured on the left and offers nothing going forward whatsoever (a key part of a fullbacks game). It's like playing with a man less when we're going forward. I know Rammage is a battler and I commend him for it but he should only be played as a centreback.

I'd much rather have Baba playing than Ramage tbh. I feel sorry for Ramage because every time I've seen him play centreback he's done well but he's awful at leftback. Babayaro is a much better player there if he could be arsed to turn up.

He was a very promising 16 year old and now he's just an average 20 year old. Tbh if Villa did come up with the £4m that's been suggested I'd snap their hands off.

Yeah, but who won? And who is top of the league? True but just think how much better we would be if we could pass the ball properly.

It was just nice to have a footballer playing right back who could attack and look decent enough defencively as oppose to a clown who wouldn't get into Sunday league team.

One thing I noticed was how nearly every one of their passes was along the deck and easy to control whereas most of ours seem to be bouncing at the player who receives it.

Don't know the ins and outs just that he rang him to discuss it.

Was told last night that he actually rang up the guy that had sent in the letter of complaint. Nice touch and an unusual case of someone at the club actually caring about the fans.

I think it's just in the last couple of games since that fuckwit Carr has been out of the team tbh. I'd be very happy to keep Nobby there ahead of him.

Roll on next year then.

Sure this doesn't count as a victory for the snake either? The fucker burst trying to eat the gator. That doesn't sound much like winning to me.
