Wasn't so long ago you could have added violence and racism to that. Perhaps we should just tolerate it because it's a football match.

If you're in a public place behave like a civilised person. If your vocabulary is so lacking that you absolutely must swear then I would suggest evening classes. That is utter nonsense. Get to fuck. I've been to plenty of matches and when it's just lads around me i'll let rip with the best of them. If there's people likely to be offended then i'm capable of moderating my language, common decency. Why do the norms and conventions of society go out of the window all of a sudden just because you've decided to attend a sporting event?

Mole has it spot on. The extra man the opposition has in midfield forces Cabaye to drop deeper alongside Tiote creating a huge gap between midfield and attack forcing us to play long direct balls. It limits our passing options drastically, Cabaye can either go horizontal to Tiote, try and push it out wide if he has an option there or hit it long to our non-target man strikers. Going wide from that position is almost as bad as hitting it long anyway as his options will be Jonas who carries very little offensive threat these days or HBA who by this point will be picking up the ball in his own half. When he gets the ball in our half it's a lot to ask of him to carry it all the way to an attacking position or hold it long enough for Cabaye to catch up with play before being crowded out. edit: This is interesting: http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/08/20/newcastle-2-1-tottenham-pardew-switches-formation-ben-arfa-excels-in-both-systems/

Every match recently there's two trends that inevitably happen. Everyone posts 433's and we line up 442 and someone will say 'If we win this we can kick on'.

Haha, seen this. We're in europe. Safer to the cinema, no joke. Haha. (?????) No f***ing idea. edit, TU's makes more sense so it would be: Haha, seen this. We're in europe. Safc are to the cinema, no joke. Haha.

Yes, you never want to focus too much on the camels in a euro fixture.

Link us up brah http://www.forumclub.be/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2194 Just discovered "Reopen closed tab" to get that. So I thank you. You're very welcome. I'm a big fan of 'Restore previous session' on firefox which I also recently discovered.

I think McClean needs a manager who's going to coach him some new techniques and add a few strings to his bow. At the moment, although his technique is ok, he seems very one dimensional. Whether or not Artie is that manager I don't know......

That's a bit of a blow if true. I thought Barney and Tinky-Winky could have done a job for us in midfield.

We should start Campbell tonight now. He's been blessed by the chosen one, he'll score at least six.

Loving being back in europe, not loving the three am kick off times so much.

thanks. You still get an 8 match ban no matter what RAWK_Toonfan says.

you take the internet too seriously. Serious business, son, you'll learn one day if the pigs don't get you.

Congratulations, you win the internet.

no, just bored.

You have serious issues. why? Because your constant need to post inflamatory statements to people you don't know on an internet site indicates a deep seated craving for attention and a desire to be acknowledged and validated even if it is in a negative manner.

Long boot back to Cabaye on the centre spot then a lovely little through ball to catch them out as they're pushing out.

Ok, i'm gonna get a little tin foil hat here but when he was discussing terms with us one of the things that was mentioned was that they wanted to discuss and have assurances on where he would play. We can only assume that he was told he would play in midfield for the most part as that's what he sees as his natural position. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would move just to sit on the bench and he knew Tiote and Cabaye were here as our midfield pairing and weren't likely to be displaced. With all that in mind, is it possible that Pardew sold him on the idea of playing in a midfield 3 with Cabaye and Tiote? Could that be a sign that we are aiming to play a 433 and just waiting for Anita to get up to speed before we unleash it? Is it possible to make custard from a packet that doesn't end up lumpy with a manky skin on the top?

I would assume there'll be an internal disciplinary procedure just like any other company, verbal warning, first written warning, second written warning then the sack. Hope so anyway.

Best bit: "...bluey (among Australians)" Only the Aussies would have slang for the color 'red' that makes no logical sense. I hope you're not being discriminatory towards Australians. Typical bloody yank.

I'd never thought of that. It would be awesome. I dream he'd get us playing like Simeone gets his Athletic Madrid team did against Chelsea. Utterly irrational... Shola director of football? Club Chef. Lots of apple based dishes then. You shouldn't have said anything, I really want this to happen now.
