Monroe Transfer 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We have 8 or 9 possibly 10 players good enough to play in the CL, either because they've played there already, qualified for it or their form is objectively good enough (e.g. Krul). we've got 5 or 6 players that are good enough for Newcastle United, if it were up to me that is. I'd rather have the team we've got now than the one your man Shepherd had when he left the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players good enough for CL but not good enough Newcastle? Krul, Colo, S Taylor, Santon, Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Ba are definites. Cisse and Jonas (based on international pedigree) are tbd. Not seen anything of Cisse so cant pass comment. However Jonas I would say should be a definate. The slower game would suit him more tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7185 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Finishing top of 'the rest' in 7th would be brilliant, knocking one of the big 6 down to 7th and getting into the top 6 would be fucking amazing given the profit and reduction in wage bill we have achieved in the last 12months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20876 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The Ben Arfa who never got a kick against Blackburn? From the little I have seen on BArfa of late I would question it too. BUT I would say he has the attributes and the way Rapey is using him, he isnt getting the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I would be delighted with 7th. With the way the Carling cup is going and hopefully the FA cup 7th this year should qualify for Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I doubt it however most of us thought we would drop off after our tough games through November and December, and when we found out Tiote was injured or while our players were away in the ANC yet we are still up there.

I'd rather have the team we've got now than the one your man Shepherd had when he left the club. Shepherd never owned the club mate. Wait and see if your man even qualifies for europe and the Champions League half as much as the Halls and Shepherd before you make daft comparisons, and he is 4 years down already.

ChezGiven 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Don't forget Ameobi. He's scored in the Champions league. As i already said, its not a rule otherwise you'd have Obertan in. Am saying you can build an argument for a player being good enough for the CL either on form, or on the basis that they've been there and done it, or qualified already. What we know about Ben Arfa's natural talent plus his pedigree in the tournament builds a case for him being good enough (an unequivocal one).

Can't believe he persists with this one after it's been pointed out to him a million times, but then at the same time I can't understand what point he thinks he's making anyway in saying it. Don't imagine he'll try to explain it like because he obviously can't. This is the level of stupidity you have to sink to to operate at his level and 'debate' though. Fuck that.

I'd rather have the team we've got now than the one your man Shepherd had when he left the club. exactly my reply to you is the same as to him Baggy. We haven't even finished 7th yet [the position we were in only 12 months before "Shepherd" sold the club to Ashley]. Your predictions are as way out as always by the way, starting with that stance you had about the DOF structure would bring certain automatic success because Spurs employed it. Where is Mr Wise these days, and Kevin Keegan who you slated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that. because it's true There are several documented statements about Douglas Hall saying how "they" replaced Bobby Robson for starters. Do you really think Sir John Hall, as the major shareholder in a big football club that they build up from nothing, to be daft enough to allow someone else with a lesser shareholding to run the club single handed ? If you do, there's only one stupid cunt here. Well, more than one, but I'm talking to you specifically at the moment.

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Embarrasing thread. Exactly. you're right for once, what a shame your diagnosis is way out. Why don't you explain to us all, a reply to my previous post, why Sir John Hall would allow a person with less shares to run the business single handed in the way that it was clever cunt ?

This sort of rubbish, is exactly what proves people engage their irrational personality hatred before any brains that they may possibly have.
