So is Anita in/ On his way to Newcastle yet? I worry that we just chucked in a bid to appease the fans with no intention of it being accepted and now that is has we are backing off.

I´m not a fan of Jonas out wide.

Pardew says he's out of the Spurs game.

 

What the hell. If that´s true, then there is no excuse what´s so ever. What a mess.

 

No excuse for what exactly?

 

Not having him fit for the start of the season!

Huge loss, but the performances of Bigi and Mehdi mean he'll not be as missed as he was in previous seasons.

 

Neither have ever kicked a ball in the Premiership man, if they prove capable then great but I don't feel at all comfortable relying on them.

Bigi has played a lot of games in the CC and seems to be a great talent. I wouldn´t have any problems at all to play him. Funny enough you have to make your debut sometime.

That, and that I rather play him than Raylor, Gosling or perch in midfield.

Jesus it's pre-season for f***'s sake, everyone calm down.

 

Last season's pre-season results: 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses.

This season's pre-season results: 3 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses.

 

Relevance to anything whatsoever: negligible.

 

This, basically.

 

As long as we get a few wins then there's nowt to worry about. It's all about fitness.

Yeah, because it´s only to start to play when it matters.

If we get anything from this game I will be more than happy. I don´t feel confident at all that pardew will play the right team or the right formation in this.

Huge loss, but the performances of Bigi and Mehdi mean he'll not be as missed as he was in previous seasons.

Such a shame that they won´t play then.

The problem is still that he is the third striker. He should at the most be a forth choice.

Lovely too see that he got to play some minutes. Shame that he couldn´t get 10 minutes more. But the most important thing is that he finally got to do his debut. He is definitely needed.

Pardew not happy in NUFCTV interview

 

We got found out

Missing big hitters

Only bright note was Campbell

 

I'm glad if he's issued a bit of a bollocking. Friendly or not, we shouldn't be losing 4-1 to bloody Cardiff.

This.

But with playing so many of todays player quite regularly (because we have to) it will always happen ones in a while, like last season.

If Simpson is our starting man, come September, we are f***ed. We won´t managed to make such a good year again with such a limited squad, especially with some very limited starting players.

 

Aye lucky, flukes, one-season wonders with very limited starters called Colo,Santon,Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas, Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa and Saylor.

 

We are crap and will be lucky to stay up 

Have you seen what kind of team that played today? And sadly many of them is just behind the players you are talking about.

When everyone is fit - and we play 4-3-3 - we have a good team. But with either Simpson, Raylor or perch at a wing back position the first team will never be fully completed.

Are people not remembering what a burden Simpson and Willo was most of the times last season?

I will travel from sweden for this game....pathetic

How are you traveling? Was going but then didn´t find any good solution to take me

If Simpson is our starting man, come September, we are fucked. We won´t managed to make such a good year again with such a limited squad, especially with some very limited starting players.

Considering the team we could just had a normal training. Embarrassing and not surprising.

I´m not really worried about our "big guns". But what is worrying me is that we haven ´t improved one bit. Simpson is still holding down the rb. Raylor is still basically first reserv too our midfields option. Jonas is still playing wide. Obertan is playing all the time, and if our Africans are away we have f***ing Shola as our striker.

 

Goodness me..

What a shit team. Thank God I don´t have to watch that. Will probably be a 4-4-2 too.

Don´t really think it´s matter if we are seeded or not in the group stage. there are enough bad teams that we should make it through anyway.

meh. Would ratter have a more north team than this. But I guess it´s more important to go through.

One thing. 4-4-2 is NOT the way forward.

Looks like maybe Bigi has moved ahead of Abeid in the pecking order?

tbf, he seems like a better Player.

What a shit penalty. How can you give that

Simpson would have stoped that.

Honestly I´m very surprised by the lack of playing time perch has had in the pre-season. After last season I definitely though he was our best wing back behind Santon. Both surprised and a bit disappointed actually.
