Honeyman

if you took a poll of championship fans asking the question of who was the better player between gooch and honeyman, at least 90% would vote for honeyman. The fawning over gooch only exists in our club's sphere.

Gooch isn’t generally fawned over. He’s respected for loving the club and remaining loyal but is one of the most criticised players in the squad, often unduly so. Honeyman might win the vote you mention but more down to familiarity in this division having played in it the last couple of seasons. In some respects I’d say they are similar in that the both work hard, are committed, quite versatile and have a bit of quality but aren’t outstanding. Both very good squad members at championship level and Honeyman would play quite regularly if he was here IMO if not be an automatic starter.

Is the correct response to such a twisted post. One of the best things to come out of todays game is the return of Gooch. Every single manager picks him for every game when he's fit. They must all be wrong eh?

Ross didn’t in the last quarter of our first season in league one and, in my opinion, that was a big mistake that may have cost us promotion. Admittedly he wasn’t in great form for a while before being dropped but he was better than the alternatives.

Why, he’s a mag

Stories on here in the past of him supposedly celebrating a NUFC goal against us about 10 years ago when he was watching from the stands as a youth player registered to SAFC (we went on to win anyway)

Who gives a shite who he supports? That's most likely not even true but if he does who cares? He played nearly 100 times for our club, didn't want to leave and gave everything he had every time he pulled on a Sunderland shirt.

Can't get my head around how many people on here care more about Newcastle than Sunderland. Do you boo the Bob Stokoe statue every time you see it?

Is this true or just complete fiction?

What is fact is that he was absolutely gutted when we sold him and always gave everything on pitch when playing for us. Anyone that does that deserves a warm welcome when they come back.

He may well have tackled hard but he was absolutely horrific on the ball.

I reckon that might be slightly over the top.

I think Honeyman suits Millwall. He's a grafter and suits their willingness to close down, tackle hard & quickly get up and down the pitch.

Yes, he lacks the ball skills and finesses that we've become used to with people like Roberts and Clarke at the club but - as said elsewhere - he'll continue to do well at Championship level football.

Is that true ? Interview with him in yesterdays match programme suggests otherwise.

Come on man. We should boo him because when he was a teenager he maybe possibly celebrated a Newcastle goal :rolleyes:
