  1. Do we ask our strikers to cover one of their central midfielders?
  2. I know it's a silly idea but maybe if we played Ben Arfa in his best position he'd do better. Nah, that's just stupid, forget I mentioned it.

    It apparently changes the shape of your skull.
  4. The walk to the ground for me. Used to be out with my dad and uncles around town early doors and there'd be a bit of a buzz. We'd usually finish up at the three bulls or the pub in the wall and head out into a stream of thousands all heading the same way. Always some dozy bint trying to drive down near the strawberry at 10 to kick off and looking mildly surprised to find a multitude of pissed up geordies blocking traffic.
  5. Cracking promo picture that, cover the sponsors logo while simultaneously drawing attention to the cheap, shitty looking crest.
  6. It can't be mostly that, some have a price freeze which isn't a total freeze as we pay for membership and that hasn't only been added and left at the same price, it's been increased. This isn't exactly the same time period as mentioned in The Mag article but it's close and the prices are increased if you aren't locked in with a 10 year deal. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/8311482/Newcastle-United-owner-Mike-Ashley-sanctions-ten-year-freeze-on-season-ticket-prices.html 2001-02 2008-09 2011-12 Adult Junior Adult Junior Adult Junior The Gallowgate Stand £392 £241 £543 £277 £558 £272 Family Area £299 £125 £330 £110 £345 £100 Seems to just about cover inflation.
  7. There's a shocking lack of ambition at the club and the best way we can describe ourselves right now is 'meh'. Very little chance of us going anywhere in either direction and just basically treading water. This'll be another nothing season of nothingness. Just another team of also rans happy to make up the numbers and keep that lovely TV cash and free advertising rolling in. Having said that, on the playing side we are at least looking better and our football doesn't make your eyes bleed or give you a sore neck anymore. It all just feels a little bit pointless.
  8. Are the Chelsea fans going radge on him for being defeatist and bigging up the opposition? NO http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t76/Caleidah/1286304813842.jpg

    Ridiculous that we're selecting attackers based on their ability to defend.
  11. Maybe the difference with us and Rangers is that strictly speaking we're from the same country, i.e Britain. We might be under different associations (England and Scotland) but in terms of nationality both are British clubs and so from one nation. Do the FIFA / UEFA rules mention clubs in the same nation or clubs in the same association? Another quirk of our football history possibly.

    With shit tactics, no gameplan, players being played out of position and no motivation.
  13. I think I missed a meeting.
  14. Cisse Marveaux Elliot Shola Bairn from the U8's Sameobi Krul Pie seller Anita Beardsley Dummett Cabaye to come on for Dummett after 3 minutes and a couple of lucky disabled kids from the crowd on in the 74th for two players to be chosen by bare knuckle boxing in the centre circle. 7-0 to us.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    Should be playing on the right. He gets a bit of extra time and space out there and it's more difficult for the opposition to crowd him out. When he was playing centrally yesterday, every time he got the ball there were two or three men on him instantly. In theory that should open up space for some of our lot to move into to give him an outlet for a pass but most of the time nothing happened and there was just nothing on for him. He looked better when switched out left but again, it's not his position. Quite why we come up with a decent system and then decide to throw it away in favour of drawing straws as to where people will play eludes me. Remy - Gouff - HBA with Cabaye - Sissoko - Anita / Tiote behind looks like a winner so fuck it, lets play with no striker, HBA central, Sissoko or Gouff out wide and change to a 4-4-2 with Shola in goal when things go pear shaped. It's just not a coincidence that players come to us highly rated, look decent and then gradually regress as they're 'coached' by the chuckle brothers and played in random positions to suit the whims of an intellectual midget.

    I did have a good day cheers. One of the lads went home on the final whistle with a face like a smacked arse. Said he was going to bed. What a fanny. But those of us who stayed out had a good afternoon/night. http://i.imgur.com/AYzi5jO.jpg
  17. Benny on the left, gouff right and 2 up top? Playing for a payoff.
  18. Has to change it and get Ben Arfa right wing. This just isn't working.

    Sounds good to me. Let's see it. Hallelujah!
  20. FMA will be on the first plane over if he hears 'French', 'footballer' and 'on strike' in the same sentence.
