I wish I could dig out a post that has stuck in my mind for ages, may have even been a thread title. It was posted before Poyet's departure and featured somebody claiming to be 'in the know'. This person said that he had been told that 'there is a cancer spreading through the club'. Its only...

I've always questioned whether bloom has the time to run this club and maintain all his other business interests. Evidentially he doesn't, but for me the main issue is the people he has employed in his place, seem disinterested in the footballing side of the club. This is signified by the...

Personally, aside from what I have been told, I think we are starting to see a few weaknesses in our chairman. I would stick a huge amount of money on what I have been informed being absolutely true. I think the question being posed out of all this is, do we have proper footballing people making...

Bloom said no. Don't shoot the messenger. Impeccable source.

That midfield is potential suicide!

How can anybody say Hyppia is worse than impostor Adams?

No. I would advise people to read his profile, particularly the 'about me' section.

Indeed, it certainly is for his own benefit and is a good decision by the moderator. I should have noted that in my previous post. I do feel that there are occasions on NSC where some posts, in quotation or response to the said poster, are borderline bullying. Having said that it is a tricky one...

Obviously I am not condoning his posts, but are people on here aware of why the aforementioned may react like he did on this thread?

Neither of them have got the legs to play in hyppia's favoured wing back system, Bruno also spends half the season out injured. Yet more poor decision making from the recruitment team if they start a our right backs next season.

It is no coincidence that all these players came here with such high expectations, put in 2/3 good performances and then fell away shockingly. Hyppia has not instilled confidence in this team, his motivational skills are so evidentially poor, and it is the reason why his sacking in inevitable...

I agree with the notion that the squad has been chucked together somewhat, but look at the experience we had out there today, Premiership, Championship, La Liga and International. Surely, if Hyppia was any good as a coach, he would have had the ability to get us to 'shut up shop' at home, in the...

Good football until we are defending a lead. Essentially, it looks like they have lost confidence in the manager.

Credit to Hyppia here, roll back 12 months and our team would have contained 3 defensive midfielders and 1 lone striker in a game of this ilk. This is the kind of line up the fans have been clamouring for. Take tactics out of it, that team in a 4-4-2, providing they get the basics right, is very...

The signing of O'Grady was for me a startling realisation that our recruitment process is so utterly flawed. If he had come to us as a free transfer, lets say on a one year deal, on the back of what could be considered one good season out of so many mediocre ones, then we could all just say 'ah...

That was the Adams imposter/ Slade season. I know it's hard to believe but I'm pretty sure Dean White went and signed five of them. Astonishing to think he was allowed to do that, especially in comparison to our current transfer policy.

There is a shop on Queens road, think it is simply called the 'lap top repair shop' or something like that. Its just past the Yamaha keyboard shop on the right hand side if you are walking towards the station. None computer related but took my I-Phone in there having dropped it on the floor at...

It will be strong enough when we quite simply do one thing: replace what we have lost. That means we need: - 1x centre back - 1x permanent left back - 2x creative midfielders - 2x strikers If we persist with the wing back system, then we'll need a younger right back as both Bruno and Calde...

Considering how dire the football has been recently, the fact we hadn't won in 12 games and the continual lack of replacement for sold stars, I think the attendances have been pretty good. All it will take is a few wins and bums will be back on seats.

When assessing Greer being 'assured', we must take into account the system we play often leaves him, and Dunk, incredibly exposed at the back and often having to cover 2 positions. Despite what they are 'meant' to do, I actually don't see the midfield 3 being effective in covering those full...
