McFaul 35 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pardew, talking about his decision to bring Fraser Forster back from his loan period period at Celtic, said:“We have watched that division [the SPL] and watched him all year. We’ve been very disappointed with the quality of the games, other than the occasional Rangers versus Celtic game. And even some of those have been poor, if I’m honest.” Houston has however got his tartan in a twist over the comments and countered with: “It is not even worth commenting on it.” But he does anyway … “We have international players playing in the SPL who could walk into the Newcastle team. “They play at a very high level in European football, on a number of occasions as well. If you take Rangers, for instance, their runs in Europe in the last couple of years have been fantastic, so that is them playing at a high level and in the SPL. “Also (Celtic and Scotland midfielder) Scott Brown has played in the Champions League as well. “Alan is entitled to his opinion, but it is not something with which I agree.” Like who exactly?!?!? Even the managers are deluded. Seriously which SPL player would walk in our team, honest question? I like Izaguirre but he's not better than what we have, who else is there? Brown over Barton or Nolan, Samaras over Shola? Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is shite and no one from the SPL could "walk" into NUFC. nd seeing as we think we are a bit crap that is a damning indictment of the state of the SPL.

It's alright them saying about the wealth in the Premiership too, but what about leagues from similar sized countries. The likes of Ajax are no bigger financially yet are far superior.

Holden McGroin 5064 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 That's funny, because our reserve goalkeeper walked into Celtic's team. 3rd choice goalkeeper who has never been able to get anywhere near the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 And I hope he doesn't! Forster is nothing on Krul or Harper, let him rot in Scotland, maybe he can get into Champions League Football! I heard the qualifying rounds are very interesting nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't really like him putting down his current players by saying such a thing. But I am happy with him bringing Fraser Forster back, 1. because my mate who has seen him says he rates him, and 2. I think Krul is a flapper and for that reason would like to see Forster before any decision is made on him at all in any shape or form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, in the last 30 years or so, we have had a really top player in every position, at some time or other, playing for NUFC, except goalkeeper. I quite liked Roger Jones, who came from Blackburn in 1975/1976, but he broke his shoulder/collar bone and never got going, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little between them, Rangers like a Leeds maybe, Hearts and Dundee United two sides who would battle bravely against relegation to league one. About another 6 of them would be League One standard, which is fair comment as fanbase and turnover wise they're about the same as Carlisle, same type of standard, and Hamilton and St Mirren are probably lower league two level.

Rob W 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Scottish football has really gone to seed Looking back some of the best players in the world came from Scotland but by the early 80's sommat went wrong up there and the kids just stopped coming through in any numbers By the 00's you'd have been hard pressed to think of any decent young Scots player and now its hard to think of ANY decent one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Stokes would walk in to our team. 3 goals in 3 years at Sunderland. Izaguirre better than Enrique, Scott Brown better than Barton and Nolan. You just don't find delusion like that every day.

CleeToonFan 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Oh my lord I hate Celtic , for exactly the reason of the idiots on that forum. I could take the fact them and Rangers are boring and bring religion/politics into football... if only they weren't arrogant wankers into the bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
