I reckon we are witnessing the rise of a true great striker. Long may it continue. Getting better and better every game.

Why hasn't lua lua been recalled? Been doing ok.

He doesn't really fancy it I believe. Recent interview says he loves the Brighton beaches 

Then will that fat t*** dip his hand in his pocket?

 

I think his hands are too fat to fit into his pockets, the c***.

 

You can only hope he will protect his investment even if it means a couple of mill here and there.

 

Hopefully Gosling will have a bit about him that will give us a bit more spark.

Good shout. Would be good to see him take the mantle of understudy to the Cheiky Bastard

People are pissed off because the same mistakes are being repeated. Daft substitutions at the wrong time and the selection of Alan Smith. I don't care who's injured, he's a f***ing liability.

 

And if Barton wasn't an idiot against Blackburn Hughton wouldn't have that problem.

 

So it's Barton's fault that Hughton picks the wrong players in his absence?

Basically, yes.

woeful today. unlike him. at least he will get some rest!

Some of these responses are pathetic.

 

We've just been promoted, we haven't got a big squad, we had players suspended.

 

We are going to lose games this season, we are going to get tonked this season.  It's all about staying up.

 

Yes Im pissed off but some people need a reality check ffs

Steady on fella! You're quite right, but I think folk are pissed off with the way we gifted them the game. We were outplayed because we didn't even turn up!

Vuckic looked nowhere near ready in the Carling Cup games.

 

don't think he looked out of place at all. wasn't great or anything, but he didnt look out of depth, which is how smith has looked for a couple of seasons, bar a handful of games.

imo he was much better against Chelsea than against Arsenal where he looked a bit pedestrian. Needs games naturally. Nee fucker will ever develop sat on the bench. Teenager or not, he can't do worse than Smith.

for elmander's goal when he outmuscles colo, had it been carroll doing that for us, it would've been a nailed on freekick for bolton. ref pissed me off all game. dickhead.

 

That sounds about right. The t*** fouls Colo twice in that run, which is why Colo went out for retribution. I understand when two big lads run at it full pelt there will be contact, but Colo should've gone for the ball rather than let it bounce. Fair do's I suppose for making the wrong decision.

if carroll done it you'd be screaming he just muscled him out. colo also had a fist full of shirt at one point. he got mugged and had a s*** game, just be honest.

and where did I say that it wasn't Colo's fault? IMO he was fouled, but it served him right not to get the decision due to said cock-up. Colo was an embarrassment to himself today, and there's no two ways about that.

Rather give Vuckic a game than see Smith playing there again! If Hughton wants to keep Smith then he should look to use him as an emergency striker. Other than that, the lad should be sold. His entire NUFC career has been the same old shit. Not needed at the club. Should go on and try to end his playing days somewhere else.

for elmander's goal when he outmuscles colo, had it been carroll doing that for us, it would've been a nailed on freekick for bolton. ref pissed me off all game. dickhead.

That sounds about right. The twat fouls Colo twice in that run, which is why Colo went out for retribution. I understand when two big lads run at it full pelt there will be contact, but Colo should've gone for the ball rather than let it bounce. Fair do's I suppose for making the wrong decision.

Mackems to release a DVD of this game.

jose got the ball clearly!!!!

No way thats a pen.

agreed. webb is a cunt. his fault we lost today

Goal attempts:

18-6

 

From what I've seen, Enrique and Carroll the only two to come out of this with any credit at all

 

Enrique has been awful.

 

Has he? Watched most of the second half and he's been quite good imo!

 

He had a terrible first half.

righto that's that then

Elbow in the face in what situation? Was he going for the ball with his head and used his elbow, or did he purposely elbow him in the face?

Running neck and neck, Elmander had the ball. Colo reaches out and twats him in the face

fuck me what a shot by Carroll! hit the bar. unlucky

Glad he twatted that swedish pot of piss. Other than that, yup we're pretty fucked.

that's fucking weak

woeful is the only word

That goal was at home.

You're quite right. At the Leazes iirc.

Incidentally Woodgates defending was far superior to Alberts.

 

I thought Albert was the glue that held our defence together in an awful lot of games. I was young, though.

Steve Howey was the main man for me. Albert was the boisterous exotic sweeper type (when fit), but if you wanted blood and thunder Howey provided it (when fit). Never forget his late late goal against Blackburn.

What exactly has frank lampard done for England in the last 2-3 years, can't remember much myself.

Not much that I can remember either apart from "scoring" the "phantom goal"
