Optimistic Nut

Fair do.

Ok fair enough, but if Anelka had succeeding in doing the same in moving here from Fenerbache, would you say the same about him?

Does that make Woodgate a wanker for leaving us to go to Real Madrid? You can't blame anyone for wanting to further their career.

I think he was cup-tied when they last won the cup. I know he wasn't picked anyway.

This attitude boils my piss. Yet people up and down the country hammer Shearer for not winning things, and seem to accept Saha's attitude.

I didn't want him in charge, but first 3 games I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. And this thread was by no means a dig at Roeder, just saying, IMO, I didn't think that single performance was a lot better than Boro, Fulham & West Ham at home this season.

He says Marty is on business at the moment but should be available anytime after 3.30 tomorrow.

Right, I've just sent an e-mail to a Glaswegian reporter, where Marty once worked. I've told him all about the campaign and he has said he'll let Marty know of the campaign. Fingers crossed.

I saw a great deal of improvement in the first 3 games yes. But I was just commenting on a 90 minutes where I saw a very Souness-esque performance/outcome.

We only lost 2 out of 10 at home under Souness this season, (one against Man U, the other to a handball) so why would I think we'd have lost to Charlton at home?

I didn't say I saw NO difference, I said NOT A LOT of difference.

Utter shite! A souness team would have lost tonight with Ameobi on the left and Luque up front from the start. We never looked in trouble (perhaps minorly in the closing stages) and just missed the world class strikers we have. A Souness team would have used that as an excuse to be outplayed all over the park. 99495[/snapback] Exactly right. The difference was we had shape and structure, and a degree of belief and determination. It was always going to be difficult with a side lacking any decent strikers or pace - that isn't Roeder's fault. Optomistic nut you're either being a wum or an idiot, I reckon probably the latter. 99618[/snapback] Neither, just putting my opinion across that I didn't see a lot of difference last night, to what I saw versus West Ham, Fulham, Boro, etc. You're saying, "It was always going to be difficult with a side lacking any decent strikers or pace", yet that was the case with a great deal of Souness' matches yet that excuse wasn't allowed!

O'Neill as he speaks fluent English AND basic Spanish.

Whole separate World Wide Web required in all honesty. 99843[/snapback] I'm flooding TalkSport with our campaign. It's important we get the word out far and wide O'Neill is who we want!

Can we not have a separate Room for the O'Neill campaign.

Sorry, my finger must have slipped. I meant 2.35

Craig Moore's close to fitness. And before we get the predictable responses... "Who?"

First half he was poor I reckon, but second-half when Bramble went off he just about held us together.

He's been no better or worse this season than 24m Wright-Phillips...yet on the basis of one sh*t season, would you call him a bad player?

Given 6 - Not the greatest distribution, nothing to do Ramage 6 - Poor going forward Elliott 6 - See above Bramble 7 - Solid at the back, brought the ball forward Boumsong 7 - Shaky first-half, but excellent after the break Solano 7 - Some great touches N'Zogbia 6 - Quiet Bowyer 6 - Some good moments, but played a bit too far off the frontman Parker 6 - Got stuck in, but was non-existant in the second-half Emre 6 - Lively, but too many blind alleys Ameobi 6 - Did okay, should have scored Luque 5 - Wasn't involved enough

Ooh, not forgetting the fact we played the old 4-5-1 formation...and didn't change things around late on.

Well the performance, etc. was identical to the 0-0 against West Ham, 1-1 with Fulham, etc...so will Roeder get stick tonight? Or will we blame the injuries which wasn't allowed to happen under Souness?

Nahhh, still Captain's Tale for me. And Bostock's Cup.

Robert has scored a free-kick in each of the last 3 seasons against the Scousers...so he's got to make it 4 in a row!

What channel is ITV 4 on Telewest? Can't find the fooker anywhere. Want to flick between the two games.
