Robson to quit at end of season!

if it changed its name one year earlier it would have tho

oooh the memories

dorigo =

Either have I :spangled:

I think O'Neil may end up at Liverpool.

Your bigger problem, similar to Celtic and Larsson is replacing Shearer at the end of next season.

Strachan is Scottish

I agree though.

Bruce & the Man Utd thing does worry me, but once he came back HOME I am sure he would fall back in love in with his hometown team & city.

Also if Bruce is so in love with MAN UTD why did he let son sign for Blackburn instead of Man Utd? His son is cracking player, scored the winner against Newcastles U17 last season.

Also it was NEWCASTLE UNITED who didnt want Bruce not once,twice but THREE times!!!

hope robson fucks off.
hes an arrogant arsehole.
get bruce in. hes class.
he might play our best player hugo viana and show the faith he has in jermaine penas. how hes in the team i do not know

Jenas is well off form, but I can run fast then Hugo 'PORKY' Viana

hes fucking class spence im tellin ya. best footballer we got

I think he is up there with Nobby as the best footballer @ the toon, but has he got the power & the pace for the English game?

The player we bought destroyed England's U21...the player we have now looks poor against Evertons reserves.

thanks to arsehole robson who wont give him a run in the team. id put hugo on, say listen hugo i know ya not havin the best of times at the mo but i want you to prove ya sel. if y anot havin a good game ill bring ya off for gary speed. but i wouls start him everytime. he needs his confidence rebuilding!

come on bobby! be a fucking manager and not a team picker!

Latin players need to feell to loved for them produce

it will be wrong if bobby allows viana to be sold, on the continent everybody can see hes world class, but robson hasnt give him a decent run in the frst team, jenas has started the season very poorly, in my opinion, give hugo a run before he slaps in a transfer request, and is offski

I think Viana could do well if we gave him a central role.

We cant do that playing our current 4-4-2.

If we moved to more what Man Utd play when Scholes is fit, which is basically 4-2-3-1, then i think Viana could do it.

The midfield 2 for me would be Bowyer and Speed.

Then the 3 behind the front man would be Viana in the hole, with Robert to his left and Dyer on his right.

Up front of course is Big Al.

However it works for Man Utd because as well as being talented, everyone works! Robert wont work hard like Giggs and Viana wont work hard like Scholes. Otherwise, my plan would be brilliant.

Oh and as soon as he is fit, Bellamy would replace Dyer.

and Shearer doesnt have the pace of Ruud or Henry who both thrive on that formation.

CHECK YOUR PMs

Arsenal dont quite play like that though Spence.

And pace isnt essential for the front man. Id say strength, technique and an eye for goal are more essential. He has to also play very much "down the middle".

Shearer would be well suited.

Dont say he would be isolated. The idea is he would have 3 players supporting him.

Arsenal play a variation of it & were the one of the FIRST TEAMs to play this way in the prem.

Vieira & Silva as the 2 deep in front of the defence
Wiltord & Pires wide
Where Wegner differs to Ferige instead of playing an attacking midfielder he plays a deep lying forward Bergkamp/Kanu/Wiltord etc.


Pace & movement by the front man is vital in this formation get a copy of Newcastle 2 Man Utd 6 & watch Ruud in action.

I don't know how any Newcastle fan can say that after what Robson as done for us. The man is still an absolute legend. I take your point on board about him being quite arrogant, but he as still done brilliant for us.

Hugo Viana - best player?? He cannot beat anyone, he can't tackle, he can pass, but doesn't get enough time in the Premiership to do it, he rarely shoots. So please explain why you would have him in your starting eleven?

This is not a vendeta against you BTW El!!

Im sorry Spence, but you are actually wrong.

As you correctly say Wenger plays a deep lying striker, rather than an attacking midfielder. This is because Henry uses the full width of the pitch, right and left, and they still have someone central that way when he does go wide.

Arsenals wide midfielders also play much deeper than than Man Utds, making their formation more of a 4-4-2 basically Spence. Thats why Arsenal never quite flood the box like Man Utd. The wide midfielders also come inside a lot, because Henry uses the full width of the pitch.

Its def different to the way Man Utd play theirs. And to get to the point, when done like Man Utd pace is not essential in the striker. Van is quick, and it can never hurt, but he is no Henry for speed.

viana is mint. ive seen it in him. he knows how the game works. unlike lots of our headless chickens. he needs a good run in the first team yes but he will be amazing. he will be a star.

and robson just pisses me off now. i cant understand his tactics most of the time cos they are so fucking shit and bizarre.

andy o'brien- WHY?????? why does he play? hes shit

The people who are usually in the central position when Henry goes wide are Wiltord,Pires, Ljungberg THE WIDE MEN!
Wiltord,Pires &Ljungberg go deeper than say Giggs?

Arsenal never flood box???? Do they not. The wide midfielders also come inside a lot, so do Arsenals.

The Van is no Henry for pace but then not many people are.

The wide midfielders also come inside a lot, so do Man Utds'

Is what it should of said
