give bramble a free transfer also i dont mind or release him right now..haha!

he's the worst defender among the other newcastle defenders..but i shld give him credit for scoring a few goals..

[chrislayer]

Man V.1

 

a few goals? or rather a few own goals...bramble can't even qualify to play in our s-league...

 

arsenal's young guns aren't not from their academy....its just that Arsenal's scouts are world class........they always pick the best unknown young players who will turn out to be world class players at arsenal..........but newcastle's scouts are darn useless......always pick players who will get injured forever.......and our youngsters from the academy always get loaned out and in time will be sold (like chopra)........

[WAI]

In my opinion here's what I think:-

 

Players to go (in order)

1) Shola Ameobi (plays like a clown always loses ball)

2) Titus Bramble (Too many mistakes man)

 

Players who should play

1)Albert Luque (Prove his worth. Not many chances making him getting worse)

 

Players to buy

1) Torres

2) Some tough tackling defenders like Cannavaro type

 

Managers

1) Keegan (Simply loves the attacking style of play which no longer see now)

2) Martin O'neil ?

 

I dunno. It always seems that newcastle have new great players, the team still fumbles Dunno if it all voices down to their self-belief or maybe a curse.

i agree wif u bro... ameobi and bramble suck like hell... so wat if they scored some goals... with hundreds of chances, if u still cant score even one, u must suck so bad till even s-league rejects u...

[Man V.1]

to me shola ameobi is still ok..he can score funny and tyco goals although he's abit clumsy..haha! bramble must be sold straight away..

now we need a couple of good defenders like nesta and cannavaro..

[chrislayer]

and do you think any nesta/cannavaro type of players is gonna play somewhere in the northeast of england?....unless you've got another Abramovich or Glazer owning the club...........

it's really weird & puzzling to see a club which has proven defensive problems not to strengthen their defence for the past few seasons....(bramble is still there, can't they put him on a free??or freeze him with the reserves)....are they dumb or what??

Tonight Newcastle will be travelling to Palermo in the UEFA Cup qualifying group.

Hope that they can notch up a second win..

Good Luck to the players!

[syaiguy]

WE WON!!! WOOHOO!!!

 

TOP OF GROUP H WITH 6 POINTS!

[syaiguy]

PALERMO, November 2 (UEFA Cup) - Newcastle claimed a fine 1-0 win in Palermo to move to within touching distance of a place in the third round of the UEFA Cup.

 

Albert Luque's 37th-minute header capped an impressive first half from the Magpies.

 

As Palermo pushed for an equaliser in the second half, debutant goalkeeper Tim Krul kept Glenn Roeder's side in the game with several match-winning saves.

 

Palermo simply could not find a way past the Dutch giant and the handful of Newcastle fans were able to celebrate with calls of `we are top of the league' at the final whistle.

 

• Krul makes 'unbelievable' debut

 

Luque earned a rare start in attack with Glenn Roeder having little option but to thrust the Spanish striker in to the fray due to injuries and the unavailability of Giuseppe Rossi.

 

Roeder had said it was up to Luque to prove he deserved a regular place in his side - however it was James Milner who looked the more motivated.

 

Shifting from the left-wing into a support role up front, the 20-year-old created the biggest threat for the Magpies.

 

Having first tested Alberto Fontana from just inside the area, his trickery allowed him to turn Andrea Barzagli inside the six-yard to make room for another shot, but he appeared to be impeded unfairly by the Palermo defender.

 

His shot was too weak to test Fontana while his stronger claims for a penalty fell on deaf ears.

 

Palermo had shown the more going forward inside the opening 10 minutes and Craig Moore twice came to the rescue of Krul with last-ditch clearances.

 

Krul, the second youngest player to ever play in Europe for Newcastle, looked a little nervous and his kicking was particularly wayward with the home side's brightest player Franco Brienza almost capitalising on a poor clearance, only to fire over from 25 yards.

 

As the visitors began to push forwards again, Milner provided the opportunity for Luque to open his account for the season, and he did not disappoint either.

 

With Barzagli and Hernan Dellafiore both stood like statues in the middle, Luque stole in between the pair to head in Milner's left-wing cross and give Newcastle a lead they perhaps merited on the balance of play.

 

The goal was only the second Palermo had conceded at the Renzo Barbera in seven European games, the first since September 9 last year.

 

And the scorer back then will be familiar to Newcastle fans - Georgian midfielder Temuri Ketsbaia who netted for Anorthosis Famagusta in a 2-1 defeat.

 

Palermo were keen not to lose their unbeaten home European record, though, and camped in the Newcastle half for the second half.

 

It was backs-to-the-wall stuff for Roeder's men, but just as the Newcastle manager had predicted on Wednesday, it was time for one of his youngsters to make a name for himself.

 

After a good hour's play, Krul had certainly settled down and began to repay Roeder's faith with a string of good saves.

 

Palermo substitutes Giuseppe Biava and David Di Michele both failed to beat him as Brienza's left-wing free-kick seemed certain to produce the equaliser.

 

First, Krul dived low to tip Biava's stooping header to his left and then he got back onto his feet to block Di Michele's follow-up.

 

The Dutch shot-stopper then produced another top-drawer save to deny Andrea Carracciolo as Palermo increased the pressure.

 

But several wayward passes convinced the home fans it was not going to be their night and Newcastle were comfortably able to play out time.

 

Krul makes 'unbelievable' debut

 

Dutch goalkeeper Tim Krul described his debut as `unbelievable' after his double save helped Newcastle earn a 1-0 UEFA Cup win in Palermo.

 

The 18-year-old was called in to replace the injured Steve Harper who failed a late fitness test.

 

Albert Luque gave the Magpies the lead with a 37th-minute James Milner cross but it was Krul who kept the advantage intact.

 

Krul made an excellent save to deny Giuseppe Biava and then got off the ground to stop the follow-up from David Di Michele

 

Krul said: 'What an atmosphere, it was unbelievable, and a I got a clean sheet as well.''

 

Krul admitted he had acted instinctively to deny both Di Michele and Biava.

 

'It was a header from the tall guy and then I got up and threw my body in the way,'' he added on Five.

it's gonna be sucky to see the toon army playing in the championship next season...at the rate they are going now, a win in europe won't be enough for them to climb up the epl table...

HAHAHA! quite true..

 

But i'm sure Newcastle will buck up like they did last season...

[syaiguy]

actually i'm kinda disappointed that roeder din use much of rossi... he has loads of potential, even better than ameobi... rather than wait for ameobi and martins to get fit, y not throw him in? rossi cant even play in the uefa cup, then when else he can play? roeder die die wanna use sibierski as backup striker... haizzz

 

sometimes u never understand wat these managers are thinking...

[Man V.1]

u know why he used sibierski??

 

coz he got a shiny botak head which he used very well...

he's good in the air...

 

ya roeder should play rossi while waiting for the 2 black strikers to recover..

[reddy]

rossie is injured recently that is why we didnt get to see him. oh well... i beieve we will improve in due time...i believe so.. howay the lads

[Man V.1]
