Who would you prefer to see out there? Sissoko or Anita? Obertan?

Is that the ONLY formation we can play? We don't need "wingers" because we haven't got any.

Absolutely no chance of winning the midfield battle.

Defeat or lucky draw.

Can get to fuck starting Gutierrez on the wing

BILLIONAIRE football club owner Mike Ashley has added another £550m to his fortune in the last year.

 

The Newcastle United owner has cemented his place as the richest man in the North-East, according to the annual Sunday Times Rich List due to be published this weekend.

 

His sportswear empire, Sports Direct, returned record six-month profits last year, giving Mr Ashley an estimated personal fortune of £2.3bn, making him the 31st wealthiest person in the UK and far and away the richest in the region.

 

Rich c***.

He was worth 1.8 billion when he bought us iirc. Went down to 800 million at some point too? So this represents a handsome increase if so. fuck's sake dat bank balance.

What is the purpose of this thread? Are you guys masochistic or something?

we must look like an alien race to you. Not sure if it's because of culture difference, or because you're used to supporting a team that has actually won plenty of things since WW2.

Is that German hangman?

 

Going for STEAK.

It's hyperbole to suddenly think every opposition player is a gazillion times better than ours, but that's what low morale will do. It is an absolute must that we pull a result out of this away trip to stop the rot.

 

Edit: No longer Saylor but Steven 'Slayer' Taylor

Slaylor surely?

Carlos Tevez and the FA Cup Final being on the 11th may just have seen us safe barring any freak results.

Anyone think he'll do an end of season phone-in this year?

 

No.

 

There won't be a lap of honor as well imo after the Arsenal game.

There should bloody well be a lap of apology. The players and coaching staff will most definitely want to acknowledge the fans on the last day.

Fat c*** upfront but no-one to cross the ball? Or are Santon and Debuchy expected to supply crosses?

I think Haidara was mentioned in the original post.

Also, Cabaye and Ben Arfa, as well as players like Marveaux and Anita when they play, can get into the channels and supply crosses.

I do hope that if we are ditching Puma then we are not signing up with Warrior.

 

yep, not that i think we'll be switching from puma in the near future but all those liverpool warrior kits are hideous

If Warrior made our kits, they would probably look like this

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew fears Yohan Cabaye burn-out

 

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admits he is concerned about the burden he has placed on Yohan Cabaye this season.

 

Pardew blamed fatigue for his side's 3-0 derby defeat at home to Sunderland and claimed the club's run to the Europa League quarter-finals had taken its toll - especially on his playmaker.

 

Pardew said: "Cabaye is probably my biggest worry. The rest of them are really sound physically and mentally.

 

"But Cabaye is our best player in terms of intelligence on the pitch and he needs to play. That's why he has played almost every minute."

 

Newcastle, who sit five points above the drop zone, travel to West Brom on Saturday looking to end a run of four straight Premier League defeats on the road.

 

.

 

Stop having him run around like a daft c*** to little effect then, moron.

Absolutely. In terms of talent to effectiveness ratio, Cabaye has probably been our worst player of late. He has the talent and desire that can have a positive effect on our play in every match he plays, and unfortunately he's been almost invisible during this latest run.

Wonder if we'll be in red or marker yellow.

If HBA is alive, he must start. That is all.

How many times does Hatem skin his man and stand the ball up to the back post with his right foot?

 

Carroll will just peel off and dominate defences.

 

Wing backs with Carroll and Cisse up front with Hatem in behind is the future.

 

This for me, Haidara & Debuchy down the wings, Sissoko & Cabaye in the middle with Ben Arfa a little further ahead benhind Carroll & Cisse. It would play to the strengths of most the players and there' be a brilliant balance to the side.

That's mouthwatering to be honest. But the CB's need to be bloody good, as they will not have too much protection.

was waiting to see what they'd come up with for next season. Didn't think they'd top this year's kit but somehow they have.

Re: Simpson, also look for many last ditch goal line clearances. Just as a predatory striker has a knack of being at the right place at the right time, as does wor Daniel when on the goal line.

Chelsea almost score a fantastic team goal.

They have some amazing players, but Benitez has knit them together really well. Chelsea fans are mongs for still trying to hound him out.

Can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet:

Shooooooooooooooot!

 

I reckon after his woeful effort on Sunday the fans will now be shouting DON'T SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

And he'll still fucking shoot.

Ryan Taylor over the wall Ryan Taylor over the wall Ryan Taylor over the wall Ryan Taylor over the wall

Gutted for the lad.

My one criticism of Everton tonight is that Fellaini is playing far too deep. He would cause Fartesacker a lot of problems if he went up against him. I think Barkley's had a very good game, and the big mop should be alongside him wreaking havoc.

Sagna

Aaron Ramsey is dogshit. So so overrated.

 

Who rates him these days?

Arsene Wenger for starters. Commentators?

Giroud wastes an outrageous amount of chances.

Only had the one chance this half though
