Brighton Rock Suckers v Jones who puts out the Cones
Holden McGroin replied to wykikitoon's topic in Newcastle Forum
I doubt he'd change tactics at 2 or 3 down tbh. -

😁 Spot on. -
The only manager I didn't want was Howe. I don't think he will be able to keep us up or attract any decent players. At least Gerrard/Lampard would do that.

Has Fabian Schar shagged one of the players wives or something? -
Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
Holden McGroin replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Great news for the area. I was just about to apply for a job in the area after 20 years away as well the day before this broke. A good time to come home. -

Would just be classic NUFC if we got relegated this season -
Pickford has been a shambles since the cockup of clearance v Ukraine. Its all in his head and he needs to calm down. I suspect he might be a nervous wreck in the final Agree with the Phillips/Rice concerns. I think they are 7/10 players. I can see Rice ending up being a good centre half but his distribution is essentially a 5 yard pass backwards. Veratti/Jorginho wont give them a kick.

Players Who Are Worse Than Joelinton?
Holden McGroin replied to Ugly Mackems's topic in Newcastle Forum
Both strikers. Both scuff every shot. Both big lads. Both have decent feet and a trick. I wouldn't say joelinton is pacy either. Having said that I've never seen Joelinton in the flesh. -
Players Who Are Worse Than Joelinton?
Holden McGroin replied to Ugly Mackems's topic in Newcastle Forum
He is a poor mans Shola. He has nice feet, a decent brain and the physical build to potentially be a PL footballer. Sadly I dont think he'll make it. For his attributes he should be getting 10 goals a season minimum. I don't see his value out wide. He isnt mobile or dynamic enough and doesnt score any/enough goals to play through the middle. He scuffs every shot he has. He seems like a nice bloke and its not his fault we spunked £40m on him but he hasnt hit the expectations of even a £10m player. Sadly we'll be lumped with him for years to come and possibly a couple of loans spells away before he leaves for free or a nominal fee. -
Raised by Wolves. Loved it but the ending was lost-esque.
-
What is our possession percentage that half? I bet its embarrassing.
-
Joshua generally plans meticulously for fights so I think it's too tight to call at the mo. He generally struggles when an opponent pulls out and he has alter his plans for the new fighter. It will be a hell of fight if they manage to get it on.
-
Joshua looked back to his old self last night. Should set up the Fury fight nicely. 50-50 for me. I can't call it at the mo. It could well end in a trilogy.
-
I havent really kept an eye on him too much but he looked good at Euro 2016 but then again Gary Breen played like a world beater in 2002.

Big Andy's raring to go, surely this time ; - )
Holden McGroin replied to Polarboy's topic in Newcastle Forum
Yeah, He more or less retired a couple of season ago. I was more implying that he has the style of play that could eek out a few more years (eg Crouch). -
I couldn't help start reading the reviews on there. Who takes their time to write a review on this ?!?

The Entirely Reasonable Potential Transfers Thread
Holden McGroin replied to Ayatollah Hermione's topic in Newcastle Forum
I completely forgot about him. Might be useful to give him a 1 year extension so he can help us out in the championship next season -
Sums up where we are to be honest.

Holden McGroin replied to Polarboy's topic in Newcastle Forum
If he can keep himself fit he is the type of player that could play into his late 30s. Not saying that's at the top level but it doesn't really matter if he loses half a yard of pace as it would to other players. Thats completely neglecting he is made of glass of course. -

The Fly did me in. -
I think a huge portion of the country don't care about politics at all and won't even link the two together.
-
I had a couple of UK holidays booked this year. - mainly cos I couldn't be arsed to get all the rabble on the plane. Center Parcs was cancelled but our visit to a lodge in Cheddar Gorge is on in a few weeks. Will be nice just to get away.

In reality Almiron, Max and better centre forward than joelinton would cause a lot teams problems - if deployed correctly.
