martins' pace

anyone reckon martins will be able to play alongside owen whenever he recovers from injury? i can't see them working that well together tbh.

 

I can't see why not, Arsenal don't play with a big man up front and IMO they play the best football in the league, Wenger has said before that he doesn't play a target man as players will often play long balls rather than keep it on the ground.

 

But then again Arsenal don't have Bramble twatting it upfield every time he gets the ball.

 

Think Bramble's days are close to numbered now, to be fair.

they would be if peter ramage showed talent or steven taylor justified anywhere near the hype. Neither have

 

I'd prefer either to Bramble, though. His first-team days aren't entirely assured now.

That is quite illogical. Bramble is poor at times but to prefer Ramage is just bizarre. Could be wrong but smacks of anyone but him. Believe me Ramage will get murdered at centre half this season. He is also more than capable of fucking up - sadly he has done it this season and against our opponents on Sunday, amongst others.

None of the above are the answer but Bramble is more accomplished than the other two at present by a country mile despite his obvious flaws.

 

Until you've seen Ramage play more than two games (in which he's done better than Bramble) at centre-back, I find it hard to work out how you've come to the conclusion that you have. Mr. logic.

 

 

Bramble has been very poor this season and inconsistant most of his career, but it doesn`t put him in the plain out right shit catorgory as Ramage. I would rather have someone completely brilliant every game but we havn`t so please compare him to what we have. When Souness was in charge and when Roeder first took over Ramage messed up about 10 games in a row leading to goals adding up to more than Bramble has made every 5 games. Selective memories and ignorant judging imo. Also how many important goals has Ramage chipped in with since he has worn an NUFC shirt? Bramble had one against Chelsea getting us into Europe and one getting us into the UEFA in the last few games alone. Again I want to reitorate ( if thats how its spelt ) this doesn`t mean I wouldn`t prefer a better CB its looking at what we have and comparing.

You can't base how good a centre half he is though by saying he scored a goal which qualified us for the Uefa Cup.

 

I do think Ramage is turd though.

I reckon Ramage's game against Liverpool was his only shaky game at centre-half. He is an awful left-back though, and I doubt he'll get very far at centre-half also. The part where Bellamy should have scored isn't all his fault though, because whoever the clown who passed it to him was (Emre?) should really know better, when in such a position.

 

Bramble doesn't get enough stick though tbh.

Because i can show you what a footballer should have to play centre half. Ramage has none of them other than to legs. As for his performance at Liverpool - I really hope youre not telling me he came out of that well.

He has had cock up after cock up at fullback and shows nowt that says he is anywhere near championship standard never mind brambles (which isnt much to aspire to). If you think otherwise then you have seen something I quite clearly havent.

There isnt a composed, decent centre half at the club worth the name. Moore is slighty safer than the other 3 but nowt but a journeyman.
