Ive got nothing against Danny Graham but the fact still remains I think he is a bang average footballer who we are reportedly offering £5-6 million for who is 27 and will be worth nothing in a few years. Poor financially as well as poor choice of striker.
Add to that since when are we buying Swansea cast offs? I thought we were the team that is looking forward? No disrespect to Swansea by this comment.
I left a couple of minutes before the end and missed Titus tackle on Graham... [video=youtube;5XC0hn1WSPs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XC0hn1WSPs[/video] It was a excellent block imho looking at the clip Graham was trying to score
Its a shame a supporter of decent team like Swansea would come on here with a comment like this. I can remember the cock sure attitude when you lot were in the top flight before..then it all went tits up and ended up you lot fighting to stay in the 4th tier....so don't get ahead of yourself. Pompey fans were the same..look what happened to them (after they won the cup)..
And you're a nothing club that could just as easily be relegated in the next 12 months as progress. Pretty patterns but totally reliant on stopping other teams playing and Hope michu scores. Clubs will soon figure that out and what will you be left with? Now **** off back to buggering sheep Taffy twat.
As for Graham, he has slagged us in national print, we have booed him on national tv. Honours even. Let's get on with it if he's coming. Let's just do it now.
Really confusing issue. I love booing, because I'm infantile, a backwards step in human evolution and it pisses off my partner... But on the other hand, as Cest and I have discussed, I personally think it's poor form being so openly critical of someone who's "slagged you off" a while back when they might be playing for you soon. He might have grown up since then, and he clearly has if he is indeed considering your club. Then again we boo Sunderland fans and ex-players at St James'... To be honest, I don't really care about that sort of thing, I love a good booing so just go with it , but anybody who bothers to do research on the topic is a sad ******* in my book! But it's such a difficult issue and I understand the reservations. I think Cest had the right idea as a non-supporter of the move, just shut-up and let Graham's ability do the talking.
Point understood. However, an increasing number of our fans are no longer prepaired to tolerate even the remotest scent of nufc within SAFC due to a direct result of negative experience, understandably so. For your consideration. A well known quote from Einstein with which you are already familiar. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Wasn't national print cest - it was the Watford program!! As for knackerjack - enjoy it while it lasts - your preety football gets you very little from us - Have you beaten us in the last 2 seasons?? Nope - 3 draws and a loss! So I guess your "barcelona" style of play everyone talks about gets you **** all from us!
Like I said when I was conversing with Cest about the issue a week ago, Sunderland's academy is brilliant and has been for some time, and they've been tapping into North-East reserves for a long period. A lot the lads coming through might support Newcastle that you're unaware of! My rule of thumb in life is to let someone off with one cock-up, and if they continue to treat you like a chump ditch them. Graham isn't those other Geordies, I say give him his chance, because you aren't going to feel much better if you're right and he's some devious tosser are you? But if you give him a chance, there's always the hope it could turn out well and you'll be glad you gave him that chance.
I agree with the Billy the geordie **** can **** off the fcking ****er. Clark, bruce mcenemy chopra colback is fcking **** and that plakka mag from easington johnson has been a waste of 12 million they can all **** off the devious geordie bastards. IF mon SIGNS devious geordie he might as well start to pack his bags, the beginning of the end for him.
I response I ask, why bother exposing yourself to any risk in the first place if you have the resources to be able to recruit most players from anywhere in the world? Why bother to expose yourself to the risk at all? If the boo's last night are not enough to persuade your view of how this signing will affect the atmosphere within our stadium, then I'm completely lost for words. Forgetting the 'mag issue', Danny Graham is a rank average player. The crowd were booing a player who the club are about to sign for goodness sake.....
You go on like you are talking for the majority, you aren't. You are speaking for a very small minority.
Great post mate. Agree with all of this. Colback is no doubt a Newcastle fan but has been with us 10 years but is a clever lad and hasn't mouthed off about it. A young lad called liam noble did, after we released him and has burned all bridges behind him. Lee Clark was the final straw for me and I didn't want Chopra but relented and he ****ed us over too. I guess Graham is suffering the consequence of those two and that article didn't help exactly. By the way, the Watford programme is an open publication so in essence, is a national programme and has gone totally open now via internet. If Graham does comes, under all of this, then he deserves a chance and I am now happy to afford him that.
I take it you were born in 1983 Safc83? I was drilling holes in the atlantic frontier when you were pissing in your diapers kidda. Who is speaking like the majority? I speak for myself and myself alone. Perhaps you failed to hear the boo's from the crowd last night? I've seen enough in life to understand the implications of screwing about with your 'customer base'. Football is a sport that is founded upon passion, however it must be positive passion to have a positive influence. Don't worry, if we sign Danny Graham, I won't be one of the fans booing at the stadium (Never was in the first place), I won't be there full stop.
