Kazenga Lua Lua: bizzinn hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lol wowowoowow you know what im sayinnnnnn nigggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol I'm scared to imagine what it would be like to have all of these lads in a room together.
  3. Considering how much of an issue this have been in America lately, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some usage of performance enhancing drugs going on under the table because of the league's ridiculously lax regulations. (Obviously not to an extent anywhere near that of the US) Would explain Hull City, at least.

  5. As long as Kinnear can keep us up, they can take as long as they want as far as I'm concerned.

    Blyth

    That match was my first ever proper football match That sort of game is what football is all about imho ,every emotion and that is a game i will never forget .The Carney brothers were freinds of mine so this had a more personal connection for me .Gone are the days when the Shoulder,Waddle ,Carneys of this world are given a chance and it is a sad indiciment of our game that no manager in the top flight takes a chance of there ilk (maybe poorer teams do but cannot remember ) get a chance nowadays with all these over paid premaddonas . To be fair, the reason they're not being given a chance is because they're not very good. Nowadays, if you're not living in some jungle village in Africa or something and you haven't been picked up by a professional club in some form by age 18, you're probably not good enough and that's it. (I suppose there are a tiny, tiny number of exceptions, like Klose.) With the improved information capability/scouting, the whole "diamond in the rough" thing just doesn't happen anymore.
  7. If Butt gets a new contract, I'm just going to put myself out of my misery and support Blyth Spartans or something.
  8. watching motd right now, Cacapa is even worse than I remembered. He is literally fucking up in some form on EVERY Fulham attack.

    Steven Taylor

    Fell out with Keegan didn't he? Wanted to move back to the North West where his home and family was, i recall. You big fat WUM. I think there was talk about him being loyal to Big Sam and never really taking to Keegan. Not sure where i read it though. The people running the club aren't stupid (I know, despite some evidence to the contrary) so I don't think he would have been sold unless there were some serious personal issues.

    Duff vs Dyer

    I agree that whatever contribution Dyer made to the club has to be balanced out with the damage he's done due to his row with SBR and the Bowyer brawl. Particularly the latter. That day is still such a bad memory, only time I've actually felt ashamed to be a Newcastle supporter.

    Steven Taylor

    what's wrong with Taylor by the way, is he injured?
  12. we've shown that we're capable of playing well and winning despite our problems in the attack or midfield. nobody is capable of winning when Cacapa is giving away goals for free like that.
  13. there was most certainly a push on Cacapa beforehand that should have been called. I wasn't close enough to comment on the actual pen though, will have to watch MoTD. If it's yet another bad decision that's gone against us I'm going to explode.

    Duff vs Dyer

    someday, somewhere, some doctor is going to make a fortune writing a medical journal that explains Kieron Dyer's body.
  15. Probably not, due to the stigma of being... well... Shola Ameobi. If Heskey gets an injury or something though, why the fuck not? Will probably have the biggest laugh of my life if this happens.
  16. he was simply the biggest problem of many problems. I'm not saying we're perfect, but today he could quite fairly be described as our "only" problem.
  17. Our away record this season is pretty horrendous isn't it? Thank god Wigan is at home, I'd be shitting myself otherwise.
  18. f***ing hell, what an opening paragraph. I have a theory that he's been replaced by an evil twin since the Portsmouth match. He was absolutely rock solid in his first few appearances.

    Duff vs Dyer

    Dyer was three times the player when he was fit. good luck with that though
  20. The Brazilian Boumsong. Okay he's a former Brazilian international and Lyon captain, I understand Kinnear screwing up the selection once based on reputation. But if he ever, ever starts again, I'm going to go completely bonkers.

    Tactics killing us

    we're not defending deep and we're not only playing long balls. I think there's a good mix of passing variety. If anything we tend to get into a bit of trouble when our fullbacks push up too hard. I agree that Kinnear has tactical issues, but it's not because of "long-ball." What's worried me is his horrible substitutions and his seeming inability to adapt our shape to the opponent's tactics.
  22. Well, at least I've seen us score now. :-[ Honestly not too unhappy with the performance. We easily deserved at least a point if not all three, and probably would have won it comfortably if not for a certain individual... I wasn't aware of this, when did we bring Boumsong back? Wait, that was Cacapa? Well, I have trouble distinguishing between the two because they're both big, black, bald, and f***ing s***. Seriously, that's twice now that he's single-handedly, and I mean literally single-handedly cost us a match. Hopefully Kinnear will learn from his mistake and never, ever play him again. Great atmosphere from our support throughout the match. Watching a Newcastle match from the away end was really everything I dreamed it would be. I've completely lost my voice from screaming throughout the match, and the way the away stand at Fulham literally bounces made it feel like we were bringing the whole thing down when we scored. Lads in the back who kept banging on the metal caging got a bit annoying though. We got kicked out of the away pub exactly around when I arrived though, so I wasn't able to get a drink wonder what all the bother was about. Overall, I'm not as gutted as I'd normally be because a. I've finally seen Newcastle score at a live game, and b. I think performance-wise we've shown that we've got enough quality to avoid relegation if we keep playing at 100%. It was nice having one week where we could imagine that we'd dug ourself out of the relegation fight and could make it up to top half, but the time for dreaming is over now. Time to get our s*** together and prepare for a long, hard season. (f*** me, we're already back in the bottom three )
  23. ok but if i get my head kicked in by a martial arts blackbelt who happened to be lost in south london i'm blaming you It would have to be one who also, by pure coincidence, happened to be wearing a Newcastle shirt
  24. If anyone notices a confused-looking Asian sitting/standing alone with a pint at the pub tomorrow, feel free to come over and say hi.

    Jonas Gutierrez

    It's been mentioned among Korean fans for a while that Jonas is basically Jisung Park, only better. Has the same work rate, pace, passing with better strength/balance. I think Fergie would love him. Although you would think he might have something against Argentines...
