VectisSaint Posted 5 January, 2011 Share Posted 5 January, 2011 They are his first goals for Newcastle since he signed, TBF. True, but he hasn't played at all this season (apart from short sub appearance last game) due to cruciate ligament injury and only played about 8 times total last season. What odds on 4 PL managers being sacked tomorrow: Grant, Hodgson, Ancelotti & Houllier must all be slightly concerned at their future job prospects?

dubai_phil Posted 6 January, 2011 Share Posted 6 January, 2011 He was playing against West Ham. Reading the match reports their defence seemed about as focused as an Aussie batsman. Best scored 3 goals - well done to the lad. The reports also say that he was "completely unmarked" for all 3 of them. So either he developed a superhuman talent to shrug off markers in the box or he had a good day at the office. Likewise with AP. He's gone, good luck to him. Other managers have left/been fired don't see so many debates about Dave Jones, 'Arry and others. AP is a PL manager. If he lasts longer than 18 months he will have done a good job up there. But he isn't going to win the title, and Cashlessly doesn't have the funds to take them into the CL. For AP in their first season back up, staying up and keeping hold of Carroll would be a success. Next year the muppet fans up there will be demanding his sacking beacuase they aren't challenging for 4th place. And Best will be back on the bench having had his moment and being a Squad player, which is IMHO all he ever will be at that level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one should have let Best take a pen under such pressure, at least he had the guts to step up when all of our experienced players bottled it. As usual we put all the effort into making Best into a good player and then let him go when he is finally coming good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 6 January, 2011 Share Posted 6 January, 2011 Yet people on here don't think he is good enough for us in Div 3! It's a simple fact that some players fit in at other teams with the players, staff and fans. Some players won't do well at Saints, some do. Look at Kevin Davies and his first spell with Saints and then his Blackburn spell? Saints could sign the striker with the best goal-scoring record in the Prem, but is he doesn't settle and doesn't gel with the staff, he'd be sh*t. I also think that maturity has a lot to do with it. Best wasn't brilliant at Saints and wanted out, whether that's because he hadn't settled, thought he was bigger than were Saints were in the league or a mixture of both, he wasn't right. Fair play to him for now scoring a hattrick in the Prem - but doesn't mean he'd settle and do it here. He may well do, but we're not going to find out, so it's a pointless argument. Ahem. Grump.

Viking Warrior Posted 6 January, 2011 Share Posted 6 January, 2011 leon best will soon fall out of bed once his honeymoon perod is over. Defenders will soon be able to read his game. he is not a potent striker. Even skatchel has found his playing level again with hearts. Oh an another saints favoutrite Yoan Folly was doing okay with Aberdeen till he broke his leg last week. Hearts and berdeen are not exactly premiership let alone championship levels of teams I was not impressed with best and just because he scored a hatrick lastnight does not change my mind one bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said Nigel isn't doing a good job, just that both saints and Newcastle sacked managers after good results. No doubt the Newcastle senior management thought they were doing the right thing just as saints did, for all we know Houghton could have been sacked for touching up Joey Barton in the showers after trainning. More to the point this thread highlights just how many players (and managers) seem to go onto better things after leaving us. It's amazing how many ex players that fans said were s hit seem to be plying their trade higher up in the footballing world. Maybe that mean us fans really don't have a ****ing clue...........
