Isegrim

Ah, but maybe that is the same reason why you didn't file a complain about Dyer's handwriting...

Worryingly Isegrim can remember better than me but it was some swear word. It was for my 9 year old nephew btw. SHAME on him. As much as I remember you couldn't even tell what he wrote because you couldn't read it. So you basically complained about his handwriting. You also never came up with a scan image of it. ALZHEIMERTASTIC

He looks like a man under pressure, pale and ill. It's clearly getting to him. When he came out for the second half in just a shirt, my mate turned around and said, "That's Shepherd getting the tie and suit dry-cleaned in time for Tuesday's Sven press conference". He'd got rid of the tie after about 15 mins already.

In the pre-match interview he talked about taking Krul out of the team. He said that he likes to take young players out of the team after good performances so they can hang onto their good memories until they come in again. He then said that Krul's next chance probably will only come in a couple of years time. Shrewd logic and psychology tbh.

That is what is worrying me the most. With nearly every decision he is making I just think "what the fuck?". His interviews are cringeworthy, his team selection is puzzling, his man managment approach questionable etc.

Wasn't the original story that he didn't write his name, but something like "dick"? I am not sure if it was before or after he burnt the 50 quid notes...

They should put him back in his earth hole tbh.

Add Damage for Babayaro, who seems week in week out to try and get himself sent off/caught out of position/does fuck all and Krul for Harper, seriously if Harper has a groin strain and the way he winces in pain every so often when he has to kick the ball, it seems obvious there is a problem - actually fuck it, considering the team played well against the joint top Serie A team and won, why would you not go with the winning combination???? In the pre-match interview Roeder came out with the weirdest piece of psychology I've ever heard from a manager. He said that he likes to take youngsters out of the team after a good game so that they will have a good memory when they play the next time.

I hate the term "too good" to go down. I just know that there are teams "too bad" to stay up. Not winning crucial home games makes you one of them...

They had a decent Hamlet version with Sarah Young in the early 90s...

Yes, but you don't want to see men in stockings tbh.

I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ew9qZW2xY

I found it funny when a woman opened and he demanded to speak to the voter. I think Bridget would have run berserk. I like Borat, he is really good at making people come out with a load of (horse) shit. EDIT: Bastid!

They are innocent. I blame the pressure from the Pakistan fans.

Summat for you to blow..... That's a nice guitar.

Still the same as in post #26...

I watched my first Kassel game this season - and it was totally awful. They were just playing down the road and I took a couple of friends with me. At least they were having fun. To describe the performance as pub team standard would be an insult to every drunk duffer...

There are a few decent hotels in Jesmond I've been so far. You can find something between 20-40 quid per person. In Gateshead I've been to the Bewick Hotel which was cheap and all right (the breakfast could need improvement though). Depending on what is cheap for you, there is always the Royal Station which is central and sort of cheap. Might be not recommendable for a honeymoon. The only time I staid there the fire alarm when on about 100 times and I had the same amount of random girls knocking at the doors between 3-4 am...

Shaaall weee wriiiite slooooweeer foooor theeee liiiikeeess oooofff Laaaaz aaaaannd Aaaaallyyyy?

Oh, I thought this thread would be about Christmas...

As Renton has said, I was talking about their career before they joined Newcastle. Having said that Bellamy did have the advantage of playing under a far superior manager who actually uses tactics, he also partnered one of the best strikers in the league at the time. Martins on the other hand has to play under a clueless manager with long ball tactics and has the pleasure of partnering either Shola or Sibierski. If the whole team were playing well apart from Martins then I'd be worried about him, but as the whole team looks awful, is creating nothing and seems as motivated as they were under Souness then I'll reserve judgement on his Newcastle career. The same as most have with Duff. I don't disagree about this (and I know what you were talking about, but I don't think that was what LM was talking about). But I am still not sure about Martins being ever able to adapt to English football and that is why I don't think his past with Inter (where he was second/third choice despite all his nice records) is very significant. From those games I have seen him in a Newcastle shirt he was not only struggling with being out of form and the match tactics, but generally with the pace of the game. He looks like he needs more time at the ball, but that is something you don't get in the EPL where you are getting closed down very quickly. He doesn't have the composure to make the right decisions. Interestingly that is something even Mancini said he still needs to learn. Martins probably would be a brilliant super-sub (like he was for Inter), who you can throw at tiring defences or when you get more space in the opposition half. But for nearly 10m you want a decent first team player and I am worried about him ever becoming one. Though, I have to admit I was very critical about Bellamy back then and called him a useless donkey. So, I am not infallible.

I have to agree with Leazes here, that is plainly not true. When Bellamy first arrived he was a nothing player who'd just flopped at Coventry, he'd only managed 4 caps for Wales and most thought we paid over the odds at the time. Martins on the other hand has managed to score 1 in 3 at a far bigger club than we're ever likely to be, got an average of 1 in 2 in the CL, 7 in 6 in the UEFA cup and 11 in 13 for his country. For someone who likes to spout about facts so much LM I hope you enjoy these, do you think the Bellamy we signed then is better than Shevchenko now? after all he hasn't settled in yet and with your poor knowledge of football outside of this country I doubt you've ever heard of him. BTW are you still backing Roeder? I've asked you several times over on N-O yet you seem to be avoiding the question. The difference is that it needed two league games for Bellamy to prove he was the perfect player for Newcastle regardless of what had been previously. So yes, for Newcastle Bellamy was the far better player when he arrived.

Alsfeld is not too far away from where I was born. I actually don't think it will match St. Petersburg as a city. And Meenzer is also right about it being in the middle of nowhere, you would live in the outer region of what some call "Hessian Siberia". The next and only club in the region is Hessen Kassel and if you start supporting Frankfurt I will come and get you when I make a trip home.
