Gemmill 44179 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Ok, if you've already read the article and know the answer, then don't say. And don't go on the official website to get the answer if you don't know it - you get nowt for getting it right, it's just an exercise in seeing if you can think of a player that matches this description. The game is that you have to guess which player our illustrious leader Mr. Roeder is talking about in the following quote: He's been on fire this season and in every game he has given me a performance. I bet he hasn't been in as good form as this in his career. There are a few players who have the respect of the whole dressing room here and xxxxxxxx is one of them. If he stays fit we have a heck of a player on our hands and I cannot state how important he is to us. One guess each, and no cheating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 With this being Newcastle United, I'm going to say Duff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44179 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Parker would seem the obvious choice based on the description. But nope, it's not Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I thought of all the previous ones mentioned.... Umm must be someone who starts every game if fit... so Carr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Stander 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I could not resist so had a cheating peep at the site to see the answer. All I can say is: Fookin Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44179 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I thought of all the previous ones mentioned.... Umm must be someone who starts every game if fit... so Carr? That's right! You got that based solely on Roeder's description of how well he's been playing really didn't you? Not on some process of elimination. WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT?????

Snake 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ridiculous from roeder, he'd be far better off coming out with 'carr is absolute dogshit' quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44179 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 If that's the standard he expects from a full back, we are fucked. And any chance of getting a new right back in the transfer window is out the window if that's what he really thinks about the way Carr's playing. And nobody better try the "he's talking a player up, what's wrong with that?" line, because there's talking a player up to try and give them confidence, and then there's lavishing false praise on a player who doesn't deserve it and is more than capable of resting on his laurels at the best of times. I cannot believe that that is his honest assessment of Stephen Carr in black and white. Jesus Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I cannot believe that that is his honest assessment of Stephen Carr in black and white. Roeder is beginning to get up my nose with all his jabbering rhetoric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21125 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Why do people feel need to talk absolute cobblers when they become manager of a football club, especially ours? Carr is fucking shit, I'd have Hughes back like a shot ffs. Bramble was rightfully given a lot of stick after the Everton game (I think), but Carr's performance that day was even worse imo. He's got no pace, can't cross, can't pass, can't tackle and can't defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Carr's done ok in some games this season but I take it Roeder never saw him play early in his Spurs career, when he really was a player. Either that or he's talking shoyt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) Before someone chips in with "Well what do you expect him to say about the lad", I don't expect him to say "Yeah, he's shit, wish we didn't have to play him but, you know". But "Steven has filled an important role for us" or something equally diplomatic would be less embarassing than this kind of gushing.

Matty 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Bring back Hughesie! As someone said before, I would really have him back straight away tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'm not one of these who thinks he's a world beater but he was a great utility type player to have in your squad. Very honest too with a good attitude on and off the pitch. He never wanted to leave but why would he want to come back now? It would be a backward step. FACT-A-MUNDO!

Bombadil 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I know, I saw the quotes yesterday. I was tempted to post them on here, but then I don't get too see too many games so I'm not really able to comment on individual performances. In the games I've seen, however, Carr has been shit. I mean, "I bet he hasn't been in as good form as this in his career"?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Carr's been pretty average this season, so, yes, "form of his life" would be pretty accurate. Where's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10674 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 clever ruse, this way it doesn't sound like we're in dire need of a fullback so when January comes round we won't have the price hiked up on every rightback out there. Roeder is a frickin genius if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
