I think we've got the general vibe, CT Fuck off Just got back from Town and there were a few comments like yours asking questions. Trying to catch up on the forum, get the young un to sleep and find out if the game is on.

Just havent seen anything that makes me think wow, englands no 1. Doesnt even begin to excite me as some of the players I have watched down the years. Im not trying to be awkward or contrary (Alex ) I just honestly dont see it yet and think he's got a long way to go to prove himself as a premiership striker never mind englands no 1. With regard to what he has to do for me..... Score lots of goals from all sorts of positions , ie the types of goals as yet I havent seen him scoring. I would also like to start getting that wow feeling I get when the likes of Tiote or Barton have the ball. I havent seen anything yet that make him stand out as more towards the Shearer end of the scale than the Carew end of the scale.

As a few have posted various remarks I will just post one reply. My view on Caroll is that he doesnt (as yet) compare with any of the decent England strikers I have watched down the years. He has also not even got 10 games under his belt as a premiership footballer so its a tad unfair to say that he's suddenly better even that the strikers currently playing for england. Potential maybe but I thinks it far too early for him to be suddenly getting all the accolades that are flowing his way. It may just be that I dont see it....... ?

Ugh, I feel your pain. Hope it goes okay. I'm only working one night this week (tonight) I've got Thursday and Friday to myself whilst the baba is at nursery and the mister is at work and I've got a cracking weekend to look forward to - it's all good PS - What is Fenwicks window this year? Proper Santas grotto, elves making Toys etc. A bit miffed that Rudolph didnt have a red nose however the wife said something about it only been red on xmas eve or in flight ????? Sounds like a cop out. Collectables ---- Avoid at all costs the spicy parsnip soup

Getting excited now, please let the local pub have it on

Zantac grotto I'm told

But there's been no shot goals from outside the box, no runs and goals from outside the box, it's all being about headers and knock downs. When you are talking England or good newcastle strikers you have to think of the Shearers ferdinands, andy cole, lineker etc etc. I just don't think he is anywhere near any of them. Hopefully it will come but I don't see a lot yet to suggest he's not just going to be a Carew or that ilk.

Funny that

This plus off to see fenwicks window, have soup and sandwiches at collectables and stock up on some Newcastle baby stuff.

Any idea if that thread is still around? I called him on that a few years back now after it emerged he wasnt actually black. He then claimed never to have said that he was black, at which point I apologised. Some time later he then admitted he had once claimed to be black. Apart from that like his credibility should never be called into question. Didn't Baggio start Newcastle-Offline which was meant to be in support of Ashley? yes, along with mick, Liam Liam O and one or two others. Had a few drinkys so excuse the bluntness but why do you constantly bang on about the past. Your supposed to be a Newcastle fan or is that just in the past. You virtually never have fuck all to say in the match thread. We've just beaten Arsenal yet i dont think you've posted once. You offer no opinion in the match thread to Managers or teams performance. Surely as an older member of this board your insight on the game would / could be interesting. Rant over and apologies if you dont actually watch games since Freddy left. the past is relevant to the future. My posts are all about setting standards - high standards - which I think the football club should always be setting. You may have an opinion on this, but this is the basis of it, and I don't care about personalities, my opinions and posts are not personality driven. Which I have to say appears to be the case with the majority of posters on ALL of the NUFC message boards. I bought my first season ticket in 1973. I held it until 1978 when I moved away, sometimes out of the country, however I saw lots of away games and as many home games as possible - about 8 or 9 home games and the same number of away games a season - until 1988. Then I bought my season ticket again. I don't see the point of posting about a win over Arsenal. Great it may be, but we have beaten and lost to Arsenal many times over the years. I am far more concerned with the long term prospects of the club. So yes if you like that makes me more interested in the politics of the club, because just as it determined the past, it also determines the future, then so be it. Do you disagree with this ? I post about things which interest me, the same as you and everybody else. Is this a problem ? While lots of post here on different subjects, I would have said that the one thing that binds us all together is actual football matches. No matter what the politics are or who the players are from year to year, it is who pulls on the stripes on a matchday and how they perform that is important. What is the point of being interested only in the future of the club when here and Now we are beating the Arsenals of this world and thumping 5 past the mackems (not even achieved under Freddy). I can gather you are bitter about newcastle online and want to keep re-fighting those arguments that you never got to finish, but apart from 1 or 2 posters on this board, nobody here cares. I think it would be good for you if you did try and be a bit more positive and get involved in supporting Newcastle today, not in the past or in some dreamed up future. You might also find you have a lot more to offer than the same old stuck record.

I dont think we need to worry too much about this team being motivated, however its also worth remembering that the lads will want to help the england hopefuls shine ahead of Saturdats team being announced. Carrol, Barton and even Simpson (if he's listening to talk sport) all busting a gut to put in a good display.

Yes. Some shit about having to hit rock bottom before you can fly again..... Players didnt care Fans expectations were probably unreal The baggage has gone and we are re-born under Chris......Amen

Never seen the sopranos and only a few episodes of the wire..... Didnt quite do it for me.

Good for him! We are the New England Team.

Sorry but its crap like

Or players and manager continue giving a million percent to try and ensure said manager new deal. I think this will be sorted out in the new year which is probably right. Had we lost to sunderland and Arsenal and were currently sitting fourth bottom, there would be few calling for the contract negogiations to be rushed through now.

absolutely spot on. was just about to type that word for word .

Doubt has been cast on that by No. 10 today. But isnt that what their bound to say

Everything in moderation tbh. This
