Always tough at Newcastle.

A fit and fully fledged Barkley would be my main choice hands down. He's been very poor though. I really rate Naismith now though I actually think he's a quality CF/Striker. Big man little man could open a few defences.

He's the best player at this club. He's just inconsistent. Hot and cold. On his day hands down the most dangerous/dynamic player we've had since Kanchelskis.

Messi has not done it at world level so therefore I don't think he's the best ever. Zindane for me is the greatest footballer ever. He let the ball do the work and won everything available to him.

You don't see his attributes. He's a natural one on one finisher.

Haha. What a waste of wages and loan fee.

Haha

Phil Neville stole a living here. He was the worst captain ever.

When the hell did I say 7th was ok under Moyes? You are so Moyes driven. I don't even rate him. But Martinez isn't doing any better - so far... 7th is shite. 7th doesn't even get a mention anywhere. Ever.

I don't even rate Moyes. I'm just saying nothings changed on the pitch apart from passing across the back 4.

Yeh I don't think he's too far off but Jags is a must. Stones looks so slight in his build bit doesn't seem to affect him.

Martinez says. "Will take time", "continue to grow"

Moyes steadied a sinking ship. Yes it was boring finishing 6th-7th every season but looks like we're up for that again. No progression yet. Early doors, I admit I like his enthusiasm and he seems to be going in the right direction but it's all so similar to Moyes. I ain't blowing the smoke yet. The highlight of our season has been beating the worst United side in 20 years 1-0 and drawing away at Arsenal. Sad that Brett Angel.

Not questioning him at all. But the way people are talking we're thumping teams 6-0 every week with fantastic Barcelona esc football. Bollocks.

He also uses sentences like "will take time" a lot and "continue to grow".

He is so anti-Moyes. Come May when we're 7th and without the cup. Haf will be on here blowing smoke up Martinez arse.

Well The man that matters disagrees with you. Even though I think he's a lemon.

Na mate, we just aren't as good as people making out that's why we're 6th only 3 points ahead of a shite United.

And why the hell are you including United? They're shite.

And taken 4 points from 9. The end.

He'd play every week here when fit.

Lampards still better than Barry mate.

I am yet to be convinced we are playing better under Martinez. It's just more possession across the back four and central midfielders. Chances created are under the average from last season. Says a lot.

Lampard has made 21 appearances in the premier league this season. Barry has made 22. Hardly a bit part player. Or is Barry one too? Look at the stats both Barry and Lampard are virtually similar all over the cards. The difference is Lampard in much more experienced at the top end of the league and international level. To say Barry should definitely be in over Lampard is silly IMO. Have you seen the shite in the centre of the park for England

Anybody ever seen a ball carrying centre back I.e someone who picks up the ball at the back and makes driving runs through the centre of the park? The only time I've seen this was when I used to play as a teenager. There was a centre back who would pick the ball up at the back and make driving runs through the midfield. It was often very dangerous to the opposing team. That centre back went on to be picked up by Tranmere Rovers, he never made it pro but it was a fantastic attribute that isn't seen often. Obviously it can leave you open at the back but generally a midfield player would drop in to cover him. I get a massive feeling that Stones may have this in his locker. Could be completely wrong mind.
