Going back ever further, Shearer had more protection than the white rhino with his constant ****ing elbowing & stamping on peoples faces. He should've seen more red than a Spanish bull but constantly got away with it like all major players in the England set up do. Great striker but a right dirty bastard.
AJ best player in the NE. AJ best winger in the country. AJ best English international in the NE. AJ early loyalties as a child? Who gives two monkey's? AJ Sunderland player, joined the rising might that is SAFC, alongside the best manager and owner in the country.
We don't. Its your lot that like to keep saying it? Maybe its to try and make you feel better, although obviously, now he has signed for us, he simply isnt good enough to get into your team of course.
Leon Best plays for Blackburn! Johnson is a right winger, we have HBA there. I'd stick him out the left in a 4-3-3 though but I don't know how affective he'd be
I love how a player who was signed by Mancini and played in a title winning side isn't good enough for Newcastle. We'll take our player thank you. Maybe not as skilfull as HBA but just as effective and just as good a distributor. By the way, Ben Arfa spent more time in the middle than on the right against Chelsea! Free role but it certainly didn't work and Anita looked totally out of his depth but I suppose still better than anyone at SAFC?
So you are saying HBA is better than Johnson in every aspect of the game. HBA is a very good player on his day but is far to inconsistant.
It matters not that he supported Newcastle as a kid. Professional footballers are long past supporting a club in the main by the time they are men, they want to do well for the club they play for.
To be fair you'd not find any wanting to swap Ben Arfa for Johnson. Who is better? Does it matter? Both are very good players. We could never have went for Johnson as you couldn't play him and Benni. You'd get torn to shreds as they both have the exact same trait, they go to sleep when defending. You carry a player like that because they bring the class but carrying 2 would be suicide IMO.
Probably 90% of my posts are on the Newcastle board but don't let reality get in the way of your horseshite. I'm embarrassed for you and your postings.
