Agreed, but if he plays will Roy use him in his new central role? Picking Carrick is a strange one, just come back from longish injury and when he's picked him for the squad in the past, he's hardly ever played him. Maybe Roy has serious doubts about Wilshere in the DM role...

What are these essentials? IMO the main essential to be successful in the modern game is an owner with deep pockets who's willing to put his hands in them, and/or a large commercial revenue stream, neither of which Newcastle have got.

Also helps not to sell your best player and not replace him e.g. Cabaye...

Don't know what papers you were reading but City and their fans (lack of) got an absolute pasting from the media...

Well at least they have a striker who can score goals, perhaps your shower might want to stick in a ridiculous bid and add him to the the other players you've over paid for?

Let's face it you need a sense of humour to support the rags at the moment don't you? All that money spent and City waving down at you.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm interested to know other people's experiences. As in any urban environment, I'm careful. I try not to use my phone outside  unnecessarily, and if I'm coming home by myself  late at night I also keep an eye out for any potential threats. But that doesn't mean  I "don't feel safe". It's just sensible. The only time I have ever felt seriously unsafe in London was decades ago  when I was a teenager, and that was one specific incident which could have happened anywhere. I do however try to avoid places with loads of right wing thugs getting drunk and waving flags.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm genuinely sorry if I have derailed this thread, which started off as being about a specific burglary in Lacon Road. I will start another thread in the lounge, because I think the general points being discussed are important.

      Stolen mobile phones - where do they go?

      By ianr · Posted

      Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.
