IF he leaves, PSG would be my preferred destination for him. Out of our league and hopefully they pay well over the top. rather he stayed though.

He's still making excuses for last season. while you make excuses for this season

gonna do a froggy over that claim ?

misprint ?

as annoying as it now seems, the moonwalk/shoes off/pogo if you love the toon was very funny when it started and it was hilarious watching the faces of opposing fans. metz in particular found it equally bizarre and funny.

Yep. It's not necessarily that he's poor (he's not but when you're up against Aguero/Negredo and Suarez/Sturridge amongst your competitors...) but he is literally all they've got unless you count the Danish Shola. They can't mix it up at all. They should go for Ba. Also not good enough at that level. I maintain that we're his level. What does that even mean? The guy scored 13 goals in an utterly abysmal Newcastle team (by January). He would score for fun at Arsenal. fleicher scored 13 in an even worse sunderland team. have to say I think we got the best of ba (like we did with enrique, beye, given) The point is, it isn't absolutely essential to have a 10/10 player to complete the jigsaw, not when the rest of the team is so good and not when the league is as open as it is this year. Ba would be a brilliant signing for them. He scores all sorts of goals and he does it for fun. he did, as did cisse, look at him now. I don't think ba will hit the personal heights he did here like those other I mentioned.

really, thought it was a real person, not just a shadow.

unlikely, his contract is up in the summer I think. 2016, marra. that so ? I didn't check. just remember it being said that it was strange that his loan took him to the end of his contract. (was it amalfatino ?)

We couldn't. How come? 6 points off first. liverpool play man city.

Or that we should've been top of the league had we beaten Hull and West Ham at home and Sunderland away... arsenal "should" have beat villa, no doubt spurs think they "should" have beat us etc etc etc

don't think he's ever gone for no strikers and 0-0 at old trafford, brought ben arfa on.

can you imagine hoovering the f***er. half of these fuckers would be snorting the shak'n'vac.

cue thread title change.

From same page Di Canio on training at Sunderland when he arrived: "Saturday - get beat, Sun - day off, Mon - golf, Tue - bit of training, Wed - day off." and when he left "Saturday - get beat, Sun - slag off team, Mon - ban smiling, Tues - get beat again, Wed - ban tomato sauce"

from the friendly against Kiev "you can stick your SS-20's up your arse"

how have stoke been playing, stylewise, with hughes there ? haven't seen much of them at all so don't know if they still pulis it.

That's my point though, he will pick and choose his matches in which he thinks that will be best. At Madrid he pretty much attacked every team but soon as a 'difficult' game came along against top side he changed his style of play and tried to counter more and sit back. Even recent home games he went 4-3-3 against West Brom, didn't really work for them and got lucky, next home game against Southampton, he changes to 4-4-2 and it worked for them. There's nothing set in stone with Jose, he will take each game as they come and look to set up a way in which they can get a positive result. There isn’t a defined style in which you know he’s going to play every game like you know with some managers. And that's not a bad thing, it's just different approach to how many would like to see the game played. most managers do that, if they don't think thery can impose their style on the oppo they try to combat it. see ferguson playing ronaldo through the middle against barcelona.

three newcastle players (colo, debuchy and cabaye) in garth crooks's team of the week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25488518

if tonight was against norwich and chelsea were in good form you know he'd try impose their play on them much more than adapting to the opposition. fwiw I can see us developing a bit of our own style, more so in away games, some of the possession stuff was there at villa and cardiff (a bit last season where we'd have the better of some games without creating much then lose it completely after going behind) and much more at man utd and palace but it doesn't happen overnight, butit seems to me like it's developing. it's a bit harder to play possession and patient at home when you are expected to force things a bit more.

in some games aye, in games where he thinks he can dominate he does, it's not 'his' style though, it's what he thinks gets best from what he's got, hence the difference in style between the duff,robben,drogba style and the later chelsea of the same era.

picky I know but is it not "tottenhams always running" ? and there's another variant of "geordie boys are coming" anyhoo, a good rendition of "la la la lalala lalalala geordies" under a good roof always got me.

saved the follow up aswell as the pen.
