I’ll hold my hands up to being a bit hard on Ryan Taylor in the past. In my view he just wasn’t good enough, but to his credit he is proving me wrong.

To be fair he started proving me wrong last season and showed that he is capable of contributing to our first team, not only with assists but also with goals and some sound defensive displays to boot.

Of course it was his equaliser nearly two weeks ago that gave us a draw in the Europa League qualifier with Atromitos with him unleashing another unstoppable freekick into the Greek net giving us a helping hand through to the group stages of the competition. I get the feeling he would have got plenty more chances to do much the same kind of thing throughout the course of the season what with all the extra games we’ll (hopefully) be playing but unfortunately for Ryan it’s not to be.

An injury to his Achilles means that now the versatile player is out for a non-specific timeframe which thus far has only been described as “months” by Alan Pardew giving myself some time to reflect on my changing opinion of Ryan Taylor.

Whilst are quick to heap praise on the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye, Cheik Tiote, Tim Krul and the two Demba’s, for me it’s players like Ryan Taylor who have played the larger part on our semi-success over the last two seasons. A versatile player who will try his hand at any role given, Taylor is one of a number of player who have come in and done well when called upon, yet haven’t moaned once when they’ve been overlooked.

In a way the success of players like Taylor, and even James Perch, has made our squad look deeper than it actually is. They are dependable back up to the first team and it’s only now, now we are going to be missing him for quite some time, that it becomes apparent.

I never quite thought I would see the day where I start to worry about an injury to Taylor, but that day is now. Losing him is like losing three extra backup players and I only hope our lack of signing reinforcements over the summer won’t come back to bite us on the behind thanks to an unfortunate yet unavoidable injury to one our most versatile members of the squad.

The rest of the squad said all they had to say prior to the match on Sunday when they revealed their “over the wall” tribute t-shirts to the former Tranmere and Wigan man. Not only is he held in high regard these days by myself, but it also seems he is held in high regard by his peers who saw fit to honour him like that in the face of such bad news.

Here’s to a speedy and hassle free recovery for Ryan Taylor!

    I thought he tore his ACL. anyway, long time to recover either way. Hopefully our other free-kicks takers can improve drastically

    Pete says:

    An injury to his achilles???? That’s the tendon in your heel. I thought this was a cruciate ligament detachment in his knee?

    But quite agree about the huge importance of these rock steady, versatile players who don’t complain, but seize every chance they are given and produce solid, sometimes inspired performances.

    You can’t have a team made up only of glory boys, and Ryan Taylor, Perchinio, Willo are invaluable to have on the bench. I was sorry to lose Guthrie & Best who also did very well for us in the same way, but they both were desperate to get regular first team football so they sadly had to move on.

    Nice one, Toonsy; totally agree. Just allow me one wee piss-take:

    Whumpie :lol:

    Can’t say much myself as I’ve slagged him off from time to time. He can score screamers though and ever since that Accrington Stanley match he has often carried our second string sides. It’s a shame his set piece delivery isn’t as good as his shots or he’d actually be properly close to the first team for me, as it is we have plenty who can shoot and none who can deliver :evil:

    Spencer yeah we always backed him, and I can remember Toonsy saying that he’d never make a PL player or something along those lines.

    Better late than never I guess ;-) reet catch you’s in a bit

    Sharpy17 says:

    Think it’s fair to say that Raylor isn’t the most gifted player in the squad, but what he is is a player who will do a job for the team slotting in where needed without spitting the dummy and always giving his all – then there’s the freekicks as well of course. I think you could put Perchino in the same category as well. I think you need players like that in the squad, and because of their versatility they are vital to the squad.

    As for Shamrocks earlier article, I think from the U21s team that beat Stoke 5-1 last night I could easily see Tav, Good, Satka, Innman, Hooper and Campbell making it to the first team. Add them to the likes of Fergie, Bigi, Amalfitano, Abied and Vukic – and the future looks fairly bright for NUFC.

    Agree, Raylor is now a very important cog in our wheel. Even Perch has just about won me over, never thought I’d say that!

    kimtoon says:

    Off topic but I got a question and I would be gratefull for some input .
    Question ,you have the choice of a masonette in a nice area or a 2 bedroom flat (new build) slightly less disirable area or a 2 bed house again in slightly less nice part of town. which of the three would you pick and why , which will give the best return in say 10 years time. I only ask as I’m in a debate with someone as to which is the best choice and would appreciate a few opinions . ;-) thanks.

    kimtoon says:

    Rodzilla says:

    I wouldn’t say ‘Zero to Hero’.
    ‘Useless to Useful’ maybe.

    He’s a good (and I’m sick of using this term now) utility player. He’s no world beater. He’s a Jack of All Trades for me, although Master of None would be a tad harsh. He’s becoming a master of free-kicks but we’ve waited long enough for them. We signed him after he scored (was it 2 or 3) against us over a season, but he did bugger all for a long time.

    I can’t really knock him for his commitment to the cause, but he’s not outstanding in any position. He ain’t even that good at corners. As Toonsy says, …”never quite thought I would see the day where I start to worry about an injury to Taylor” – me neither, but with Fatty-tight-arse at the helm we’ve all been conditioned into expecting more from what we’ve got.

    He is perfect squad Polyfilla though.

    …in fact that’s my new nickname for him, Polly. :lol:

    kimtoon says:

    Andy. It’s a like a flat over two floors normally above a shop or the top part of a three story house as in this case.

    Rodzilla says:

    Kim, I’d go for the nice area every time.
    I went for a 1 bed terrace in a nice area for the same price of a 3 bed semi in a shithole. That’s me though. I don’t regret it 7 years on. I think houses sell faster in nicer areas too.

  39. 39
    Shamrock says:

    Kim, flats dont make much money. Especially if in dodgy area. Houses do, you can totally refurb them and turn good profit just off that, but if the area is bad – and continues to go downhill then it affects the potential value and narrows your window of potential buyers…..

    Rodzilla says:

    …that said, there are hidden gems to be had within rough postcodes. Plenty of research is in order when buying a hoos.

    GeordieTwo says:

    Previous post an interesting read Shamrock. If we are willing to settle for 8th place then the Ashley/Llambias strategy is fine. We probably can’t reasonably expect 5th or higher this season now however. Injuries are already taking a bite and we are only just beginning. We do have some squad depth but not at CB. Perch is not big enough to be a CB against any side with a decent attack. He is fine as a DCM but that’s about it. We have to hope Pardew’s sorts out the Demba’s soon and hope they don’t get into ACoN. Can’t understand the approach as far as depth in strikers is concerned. I really think Llambias was sure Liverpool would fold and we would get Carroll back on loan and then a cheap buy (unless he was brilliant of course). Having Llambias is a real handicap no matter how brilliant Carr is. I hope I’m wrong but there is a math term called reversion to the mean. As far as we’re concerned it means that we are more than likely to perform less well the season after out-performing most people’s expectations. I hope to be proven wrong but we seem to be setting up to finish around 7th or 8th to me.

    Sharpy17 says:

    Shamrock – sorry I didn’t post my comment on your article mate but you’ll see above that i have addressed it. I was playing catch up today, been out all day to Newton by the Sea with the boy. The Northumberland coast is beautiful and he’s had a class day on the beach.

    Kim – I’ve got a mate whos an estate agent and he has always told me that the nice areas tend to stay nice and the poorer areas tend to get worse. Mind you, he doesn’t tell that to the people he’s showing round like ;-) :lol:
    So based on that, I’d have to say the Masonette would be my suggestion like.

  43. 43
    Big Dave says:

    Kim thats a hard one because the nice area could be a bad area in 10yrs time ? I would maybe swing for the house but that only because a family of 1 might prefer a house with a garden as apposed to a flat with communal area etc and the up keep of them. as for a masonette it depends what under it :?:

  44. 44
    andymag says:

    Cheers for clarrifying kim and I agree with rod @38 , my sister lived in a shit hole for three years, hated it and now lives in a nice place and is much happier.
    I see the squad list is confirmed, Xisco and Ranger are on it. I also found that that Shola isn’t Ameobi’s first name, its Foulwashola I think. And Xisco isn’t any part of Xisco’s proper name its someothing else beginning with a ‘T’.

  45. 45
    andymag says:

    Dave
    Surely your not comitting as much to a flat/masonette as you would a house though, so if the area declines then your more likely to just move on rather than if you had a proper house there.

    Kim@34
    Suppose it depends on budget if its for your daugter aswell as how old she is, would suggest a flat if she’sin her early-mid twenties as I know thats what a lot are doing and are enjoying it more, but if she’s late 20s+ then, if she can afford it, a house would probably be more suitable. Again though I have no personal experienc in the matter, just second-hand knowledge on the subject.

    Thanks lads ,you all agree with my Ex and Daughter :lol: Masonette it is then ,posh gets ;-) Same price buys a 2/3 bed house in bedminster (not a shit hole by the way) just not quite as desirable as upper Knowle .The maso also overlooks a park ,But it has stairs so Iwon’t be able to visit with lewis cause of his wheelchair :sad: I’m not as hung up as my girl and my Ex about where to live ,not that I’d want a sink estate mind ,but I like chatty folk who care if your alive or dead not snobs who never pass the time of day. Still I will pass on your words of wisdom so she can see I ain’t biased like :grin:

    Rodzilla says:

    Aye Shamrock, take a leaf out of Grizzly Adams’ book and train the bears.

    I’d estimate that within a couple of years you could train them in a range of professions. Before you know it you could have your own Bear construction company knocking up log office blocks to house the banker bears, who in turn could help create a new economy based on berries and wild flowers. A true utopian society. :cool:

    Kim – If Bedminster is not that bad – then it’s the house every time. Way more potential for profit, more storage, outside space & room for little ones – no hidden maintanance/management fees and no getting pissed off at people sharing communal hallways/entrances leaving the place in a state….

    Flipside to having neighbours that ‘look out for you’ – they poke their nose in your business!

    It’s never black & white – excuse the pun :grin:

    Shamrock@56 ,I always had a fancy for a beachfront one level pad (hate stairs) with massive glass doors and a varanda I can sit on and watch the waves crash on the beach .

    Kim – I don’t know the areas you’re on about so can’t really judge on those, just off what you said of the properties. But the only other thing to factor into it would be were your daughter prefers as well though. At the end of it all it’s ultimately her decision and SHE has to be happy where she’s at. It’s a huge decision for her and were she will go back to every night, so it’s best she’s happy and feels safe. I’m sure if she’s nice to her neighbours, they will be nice back to her ;-) . Hope I’m not speaking out of turn tho, coz like I say, I probably don’t know enough to give a solid opinion.

You scratch my back and we’ll scratch yours, unfortunately for NUFC the ‘yours’ bit referred exclusively to the slitty-eyed zip-mouth gnarly hobbit.

    I feel sorry for Xisco though. That little cockney twat tarnished his name with his own shitty footprint. I wanted Xisco to play when we bought him. We didn’t have much else with regards to firepower. We couldn’t score for toffee at the time but persisted with Shola week in week out; with a Spanish U21 not getting any game time. The whole thing stank. All kinds of theories revolved around why we wouldn’t play Xisco, but it did my head in proper why we’d pay 6m for a striker then not play him.

    Shit. Dennis Wise. Glad that’s in the past. :shock:

    …we’ve come on leaps and bounds since then.

    Which is nice. :cool:

    Bugger, Gateshead dropped another point to a late goal – that’s the fifth point already this season that they’ve lost to late goals. Could have been top.

    Must have been extra payments wouldbe due if Xisco ever got played or over 10 gamesor something because to me he’s always looked pretty sharp in the two games i remember actually watching him ;-)

    Stupid now. Imagine if the Bas go to the acon and shola gets injured, we start playing Xisco and he turns out alright. Perfect timing for some club to get him for free :roll:

    Personally I think it would have been worth paying the money just so wecould put him out in the shop window every now and then, he’s clearly not motivated at deportivo.

    Newks@104, it just didn’t make sense mate. As far as I can remember he was scoring for the reserves and every time he came on for us he showed glimpses of ability. He just couldn’t get a game for political reasons, as far as I’m concerned. I feel he’s been caught up amidst a shitstorm of bad career advice. Amazing how a lack of confidence can affect drive and capability.

    Rod-Aye exactly, everything I heard was that he was doing alright in the reserves. I refuse to believe its because he’s gay, one manager might be that uptight but the lot that Xiscos been with, 5 now is it?

    Fair enough the others might not “rate” him or have bought him in in the first place, but come on :???: We all knew ranger was a bit of a dick from the get go, which is why I assume its to do with money, but meh :???:

    Rod :lol:

    Now now, Ashley’s lost at least 2 stone in the last year or two. Just like a sports Direct ad, down from 326 “pounds” to 299

    Chortle chortle..

    Newks, yeah I heard all the gay shit. I seem to remember it was a NotW article that printed pictures of him having a laugh on a beach or sumik. :???: Means farg all.

    …Cabaye is bent as a nine bob note anyway. Seen more cocks than a second hand rifle.

    :lol: :lol:

    I do wonder whether Ashley lost the weight because everyone on the net calls him fat. If so it should only take him another three more years to buy a CB… :roll:

  115. 115
    Rodzilla says:

    Newks, I’m sure the FCB and openly “fat cunt” jovial banter may have eventually persuaded him into attempting to slim down a bit.

    But as you suggest, it all depends what his favourite crisps are.

    Some people prefer cheese and onion.
    I, for one, think ready salted is MINT!!!! :shock: :shock: :razz:

    Inheriting Newcastle united and close to 1billion, what am I saying? She could look like Mike Ashley in his weighty prime and i’d marry her…
