Huth needs time, he is the fucking man, he just needs to relax abit, but I am pretty sure we wont loan Huth to a team that might (well they wont be but people seem to believe they might) be a threat to Chelsea, I know he wont be able to play against us but he'd still help them do better so we wouldn't loan him to then.

Every time he lines out for Ireland I cringe. Against Bulgaria on Wednesday night, a friendly played at walking pace, he still managed to make a mistake every other time the ball came in his direction. Almost cost a goal in the first minute.

Luckily Kenny Cunningham is the man.

Steve Carr wanted out of Spurs and was refusing to sign a new contract.

And Newcastle have Aaron Hughes and Andy O'Brien, which is a pretty decent central defensive partnership. With the money they got for Woodgate too, they can get a defender who actually plays more than a quarter of the games Newcastle have.

You'd know more about Doherty then me as I don't see him play often. O'Brien is a liability, twice last season he fouled the last man and got sent off (once Vs Chelsea when we won 5-0 and I forget the other team). If Newcastle as to have any hope of getting a Champions League place they need to replace Woodgate.

El Capitano Gatisto 08-20-2004 03:10 PM

O'Brien is a good defender. Fouling the last man a couple of times doesn't make him a liability. He's the new Martin Keown. Ugly, doesn't give a shit about where he puts his body. Just sticks to attackers like a rash.

He was man of the match for us against Brazil earlier this year. Marked Ronaldinho out of the game.

Doink 08-20-2004 03:13 PM

[QUOTE=legendkiller]Doesn't that leave Newcastle kind of screwed in terms of defenders. QUOTE]

yeh its funny isnt it!

the chairman clearly undermines his manager throughout the summer then after the first game of season he sells one of his better players behind his back (mind you saying that he prob discussed it with robson,he agreed to sell, then pissed himself and forgot about the whole thing).

woodgate only played 37 out of a possible 128 games while at newcastle (as per teletext) im wondering how many he completed ? i think it is good business as he wont last a full season so would most likly play the defenders he has now anyway.

if robson is allowed to spend any of the money (which i think he wont as will be gone by christmas) i think he will go for dawson from forrest!

El Capitano Gatisto 08-20-2004 03:14 PM

Dawson is a good call.

if they get him that will be a robson signing, he has a think about signing lower league players and turning them into premiership players.

if the sign huth then that is a freddie shepard signing.

who do people think will replace sir bobby?

if its at end of season then martin o'neil but if its mid season then i think it'll poss be strachan if still available. dont think shearer is ready for it yet.

El Capitano Gatisto 08-20-2004 04:02 PM

Martin O'Neill probably wouldn't leave Celtic for Newcastle. I know a lot of Celtic fans and season ticket holders, and all the talk from them seems to be that around Celtic, the understanding is that O'Neill will eventually take over at Old Trafford, at the end of this season or the season after.

Dazz 08-20-2004 04:08 PM

Yes but there are always rumours, the reason that O'Neill is linked with United is it seems the obvious choice. Celtic and ManYoo have a similar connection to that of Chelsea and Rangers used to. O'Neill has been the man at Celtic and was great at Leicester, everyone expects Fergie to be the next big manager to go, so O'Neill will always be linked, I think its all rumours. I do believe that O'Neill will be their next manager but thats my opinion andf its one I have held for along time, people could pass of rumours like that as being Gospel because everyone thinks it.

El Capitano Gatisto 08-20-2004 04:11 PM

I think it's more down to O'Neill really loving Celtic, and having the chance to test himself in Europe regularly, and that he would only leave there for a really big job.

He could go to Newcastle, but you have to say his chances of breaking the monopoly at the top would be slim. I think he'd rather go to a top club he would could propel to genuine greatness.

So United haven't proppelled to geniune greatness then? Being the best team in the last decade in England and consistantly reaching at least the quarters of the Champions league (I know they didnt last year, Mourinho :love: ) isn't bad going. :p

El Capitano Gatisto 08-20-2004 04:41 PM

I didn't say they hadn't, but I mean from the point O'Neill takes over, he has the chance to manage a team capable of dominating a top league and Europe.

LK 08-20-2004 04:41 PM

Forlan's no loss. I feel kind of sorry for him because he did try his best but in the end he wasn't good enough.

Rob 08-20-2004 05:24 PM

Forlan tried his heart out but nobody wanted him to suceed since the first day he arrived. He has been unlucky at United. For his country, the man has been a class act so you can't say he is no good when he can perform at that level.

Best of luck to him at Villareal.


As for Scotland, we'd be just as bad regardless of the manager. The players aren't performing. Simple as that.

LK 08-20-2004 06:43 PM

Got to agree with you there. I have a feeling he would be good if given a solid run in the team but I don't think he is as good as Ruud, Saha or Smith and he can't do much when he is only given 10 - 15 minutes on the pitch. Best of luck to him. Thanks Diego for all the effort.

Rob 08-20-2004 07:11 PM

He'll come back to haunt us. And I'll cheer for him. The guy only had 7 Premiership starts last season. Sounds real fair.

The Mask 08-21-2004 01:19 AM

why would you cheer for any player who came back to haunt us? :|

he won't do anyt such thing anyway. He has a tendancy to pull spectacular goals out of nowhere, but he also has a way of pissing absolutely everyone off. Much like Fabien Barthez really.

Doink 08-21-2004 07:55 AM

and WTF was with the brades in his hair, cheers for nabbing him from the airport when we were ment to sign him, lucky escape me thinks!

Doink 08-21-2004 08:06 AM

spurs have signed carrick on a 4 year deal

LK 08-21-2004 10:09 AM

News says that Ledley King is on a list of players that Newcastle are lining up as a replacement.

packt up 08-21-2004 11:09 AM

Ledley King would be great.

Need another defender now. Hughes - O'brien is fine but if fucking Bramble comes in again :mad:

Woodgate situation is basically forced upon us once he even hints that he wants to move so the price isn't bad for such an injury prone player.

And :( at Forlan leaving. I'll miss cheering him whenver he came on and all the laughs he gave me :cry:

packt up 08-21-2004 11:12 AM

Oh yeah and just watching the match atm and I'l just Matteo is fucking shit.

Fucking D'urso.

packt up 08-21-2004 11:45 AM

Ha and he just showed Ferguson two yellows and he didn't even send him off.

What a dick.

packt up 08-21-2004 11:55 AM

OK LAST ONE

Yeah Beattie mad indecisive over questions over his future - no way he wants to stay so he'l be on his way soon.

Dazz 08-21-2004 04:07 PM

Yeah Beattie answered those questions horribly, could have handled it much better. Apparently the second yellow was aimed at Toogay.

Joe Cole is the man, I always wanted the guy to have a good run in the team as I think he should be a first team regular.

Mike the Metal Ed 08-21-2004 04:12 PM

At home to Watford? An easy three.

Oh, wait, I forgot it was Leicester.

2-1 win for United against Norwich. Smith's goal was just brilliant.

Rob Ban Fan 08-21-2004 05:46 PM

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Patrik Berger 30 yards out with his back to goal, chips it up, spins, volleys it over Dean Kiely into the top corner.

THAT is why I want to have sex with him. Then we score an own goal in the 87th minute and lose :|

Fucking hate Charlton fucking no mark boring family club pricks. Lisbie, Kishishev and Euell! WHOOOOO. Superstars.

Mr. Monday Morning 08-21-2004 07:03 PM

Jo Lescott is back :love::love::love:

Unfortunately it's only cause we have so many injuries :-\ At one point Oakes would've been playing at left-back :|

Christ, I don't want to go to Rochdale on Monday. I just have a bad feeling about it :-\ At the moment we have out:

Naylor
Kennedy
Ganea
Cort
Cooper
Sturridge
Bjorklund
Ndah

and Miller picked up a knock today as well :|

Rob 08-21-2004 08:52 PM

Miller was fu</>cking woeful on Wednesday night anyway so it's probably no loss.

Berger's goal was amazing. Made Smith's look like a tap in.

The Mackem 08-21-2004 09:01 PM

Got beat of Plymouth, we were losing from the 1st minute.

Rob 08-21-2004 09:19 PM

Stevie Crawford scored. It must have been bad.

BCWWF 08-21-2004 10:15 PM

I just met Casey Kellers cousin, he's a prof at my school. I went up and introduced myself, while wearing my Chelsea jersey, we had a good laugh, turns out he saw a game at Stamford Bridge last year. Anyway, Tottenham still jobs to Chelsea.

The Mackem 08-21-2004 10:18 PM

KASEY KELLER
IS A WANKER
IS A WANKER

haha, that's just a song we used to sing to him each time he played against us after he got one of our players sent off. I'll never forget it because one Saturday afternoon he was on the receiving end of it for most of the match. He let in 6 goals that match. It was a great game.

Dazz 08-21-2004 10:27 PM

I fucking hate Kasey Keller, he would be in goal if I was to pick my team of players I absolutley dispise of.

The Mackem 08-21-2004 10:28 PM

Why is that Dazz?

Rob 08-21-2004 10:29 PM

Dazz is mental. That's why :p

BCWWF 08-21-2004 10:35 PM

Haha, has anybody seen the clip of him back in the day, maybe it was France 98 qualifying, but he punted the ball right into a Mexican (i think) guys head and it went right back into the goal? Haha, priceless.

Rob 08-21-2004 10:36 PM

No. Find a clip.

Dazz 08-21-2004 10:38 PM

Because he is a cheating cunt who brings players down in the box, time wastes, has a face that is just asking to be punched, plays for fucking Spurs. Even at Milwall I didn't like him, stupid yank twat.

Rob 08-21-2004 10:43 PM

2 random thoughts I had while watching the football today

And yeah watching the highlights, Carvalho pushed someone right after Ferriera handled the ball in our box, other then that we have no cheats. Makelele is a changed man. You have more cheating cunts then us.

BCWWF 08-21-2004 10:46 PM

Yeah if you see it Toogay is actually standing a few yards behind Dickov, it was aimed in a stupid direction, and like you sya, he gets the card out after Ferguson kicked the ball away. What had Toogay done at that moment that made him get booked?

On other news This Boro game is great, of course I am annoyed that JFH has rediscovered how to leather a ball, but seriously that and Quequeque's goals were great, as was Bergkamp, I fancy Boro 4-3.

There is some rule that if you've played in any of the home nations for a number of years then you can be eligeible for any of the home nations.

Don't ask me how it works.

I think it means stuff like Di Canio can now play for England as well.

Dazz 08-22-2004 07:30 PM

Di Canio (like Cudicini) qualifies for an English passport, giving him a dual nationality, which is how he can play for England.

Ireland are not part of the home nations though.

And Di Canio can't play for England now because he left the country.

A British Passport (no such thing as an English passport) but it means that he can play for any of the Home Nations.

A grandparent of his was Irish and moved to France. He qualifies to play through ancestry rules, in that case.

As far as I am concerned, Ireland should take advantage of those rules. Considering the extent of Irish emigration over the years, we've missed out on a lot of potential population going to other countries.

The Mackem 08-22-2004 07:59 PM

It makes you wonder how many people actually live in Ireland.

El Capitano Gatisto 08-22-2004 08:00 PM

The entire island has about 5 million. People from the North qualify for dual citizenship and can claim an Irish passport and nationality.

Sturrock getting sacked is hardly a surprise. The big concern with this is that Premiership clubs will now be even more reluctant to hire managers from lower divisions considering how well Sturrock has fared.
