trollmaster at it again

He's totally doing that tonight on the town Glad for the man, shocked as hell to be honest but I really am proud that he is our boss and happy for him, the staff, and their respective families too

Love seeing him just attack and take on the full-back no nonsense. No silly step-overs and running into his man like we see from Ober

Looks like a man who still doesn't trust his own body if im honest. He seemed much more direct in his attacking last season. It will take time, but hopefully he gets back to his style of play soon

Gets into the right positions but his final decision to either pass or shoot are the difference of him actually being a useful player or not. We are really missing Guthrie imo.

Saw the 2nd half more so than first, Gosling gets into the right positions but his decision making is really gash when it needs to happen. Thought Ferguson, Tav, Bigi looked great and f*** it, I think we may have our Papisto back. I applaud the effort of both Obertan and Gosling, I really do. They do look like they work their socks off, but fact of the matter is, they aren't good enough.

Gos man. use your fucking left foot.

Yes, lets go on!

I'd agree with that.

You think back to the way he played last season at Chelsea which for me was one of his best performances in our shirt. He physically beasted the entire midfield, he also took the absolute piss out of them at times which I've mentioned here before where he was riding challenges, beating a man very easily and playing a killer ball in attack. I agree with you mattyp in that I bet there isn't a player in this league who wants to play against him when he's out there. He is as essential to our team as HBA, Krul and Colo are in terms of first names on the starting 11, even though we've somewhat managed with some out.

Tiote Anita and Cabaye does sound tits, but not if it means Perch at right back... Would rather see Perchinho alongside tiote in midfield and Anita on the side. Never thought I'd want to see Simpson back, but Perch seems completely lost on the flank. Quality player at DMF/CB mind, but he has been exposed badly at RB this season. Hm, begs a question. Simpson RB with Anita/Cabs/Tiote in midfield or Anita RB with Tiote/Jonas/Cabs in midfield or Anita RB with Tiote/Perch/Cabs ... ooo the options.

Yes, thats exactly it.

You're welcome. top work Like many of us have said all along - look at how much of a different build & style he had. Imagine had he not had all of those injuries and bulked up like a tank. Some of his early goals were outstanding if im honest it looks like the last 2 years he's really gotten much bigger. Watching through this again, his Champions League and Uefa Cup goals were troll-tastic. His Mackem slaying too goals of course...His 46 and 50 PKs, 51-53 in the Championship hat-trick, the 2 vs the Mackems in 2010, and of course 71 and 72

Definitely. Wouldn't sell unless we get silly, silly money. Essential member of the squad and should be our backup holding midfielder to Tiote for the foreseeable future. I think Anita is better off playing at RB and playing in a Jonas carrier role as he's got the mobility and quick feet for it vs. Playing the holding role which will take time for him to adapt to, if that is where he ends up playing later on.

Genius & horrible cunt all rolled up into one. You need characters like him in football good & bad. I always laughed at him just trolling people at will at times and really do love that he stayed at Roma his entire career.

Tiote man, thank fuck he's back. Instantly makes our opposition think twice about trying to take the piss out of us. Glad to have that steel back.

I like the gesture from the lads - we'd be loving it if he scored. Unfortunately he didn't.

Willo absolutely hates the football man, at least he acknowledges it.

Forgot about those days man, guy was mental

my DVR probably deleted it on its own.

Then... http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/1052491-sep-2000-shola-ameobi-of-newcastle-united-in-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=OCUJ5gVf7YdJQI2Xhkc2QJlC1x3JS4lG3TNcXqRepIgohXNJwWQ5y378YKV3KV6X7hDetoqRhF05OVXKeN9XLg%3D%3D My goodness he's now built like a tank. Crazy to think how much he's changed from someone who was so gangly and unpredictable to just being a fucking tank and unpredicable

Chest pass master

I'm with you Yorkie, this is all been a load of crap that continues from the disgraceful negative press against our club and our players. s*** stirrers who love to unsettle our squad as much as they can. Ba said after the match on Sky: "I was determined because, to be fair, lately, I was not so happy with some things that were going on, but after the bad comes the good and I can't wait to see the good coming." Sounds like a man who was frustrated with his role (FINE b/c he would not have been frustrated if he would have scored a few of those chances that he missed or hit the post last season), and may sure be unhappy with being left on the bench or not being the main feature target in our starting 11 as it seems like Cisse has been (FINE again and his ego may have gotten the better of him, but Cisse's scoring form at the end of last season justified him being the focal point of our attack) and the part nobody in the press wants to pick up on...the after the bad, comes the good and being excited for the good to keep coming. Sounds like a man who just proved his point that he should be leading our attack and is reinvigorated at not only scoring for his own confidence, but for this club that he enjoys playing for. s*** stirring press, just seriously f*** off!

I'm fine with an angry Demb. The fact of the matter is he came back from the ACON looking well knackered and could have scored a few great goals had it not been for some posts and some bad luck. But having said all that, this is the first time he's looked like his old self. So keep it up - Get that "I'll show you" type anger back like he had last 1st half of the season when he seemed like a man trying to prove a point to the world. There is no resting on laurels in this crazy game. I hope this is the start of him and our squad getting back to form.
