Things Thorn is blamed for or not given credit for. Feel free to add any if you think of them.......
Things Thorn is not given credit for..
What a load of it. I have seen 2 games in which Bigi started for Newcastle. He bosses the field against Olympiakos, he was brilliant, took motm, against the Portuguese champions. He will feature heavily in the Europa for them. He was with the reserves against gateshead last night, and from what I've heard, he dominated the midfield with Amalfitano beside him.If bigi plays well for Newcastle it is thorns fault he should have played him more.
I watch Bigi on numerous tines. I love him he will be great Newcastle is too soon, he will end up loaned out.
When he played because he is a kid he made many mistakes that cost us dearly. It was not fair to expect him to be a key player in a key role in a championship battle. He was played possibly too much.
Our owners sold him not AT. I don't blame them that is the reality of our current situation. However they should have tried to get a loan back clause.

Can't remember if it was this forum or not, but after a particularly bad Gary Deegan performance last season, someone tried to claim Thorn should be telling him not to give the ball away so often.
He dominated several games in pre-season last year for us as well if memory serves me well.
Like I say, I love him to bits, however you did watch him making lots of mistakes for us, as the season went on surely. That was because he was learning the game at that level. We could not afford the luxury of that for a full season.
I blame Thorn for not playing the diamond enough last season. If we get promoted he should allow John Terry to collect the trophy.
I blame AT for not trying to sign Drogba. We all know we need a quality striker, we all know he can't sign anyone that is in a contract and Drogba was available on a free.
To be fair to AT we were under an embargo at the time
Yeah, my point was that the pressure is off in pre-season, so a young player is less likely to make mistakes.
I don't think you're getting the hang of this Grendel.
