Watford 1-0 Newcastle United 9/1/16 - post match "reaction" from page 12
geordiesteve710 replied to Greg's topic in Football
Same old, though, isn't it? Create decent opportunities but continue to fluff them. Normally we don't even create chances We didn't today either aside from Perez first half. That's why McClaren is left clutching at statistics about crosses attempted. The highlights probably made us look good because tbf Watford were worse than us and offered nowt going forward. -
If the reaction was just based on today he'd maybe have a point. But it's not. The fans are sick of being shit game after game, year after year, sick of the club, Ashley, McClaren himself. He just doesn't get it. And he can fuck the fuck off with this "25 crosses" bullshit. Since when do you brag about putting in a cross every 3 and a half minutes? Ludicrous comment to make.
-
No, but his attitude was diabolical. I think he has the attributes to succeed in English football, but he'll have to apply himself a lot more than he has recently. Yes the service is wank, but just shrugging his shoulders and sulking every time he makes a mistake/ a team-mate doesn't pass to him/ he doesn't get a decision from the ref doesn't do him or us any favours.

Apparently Ashley messed up with online sales when he added a delivery charge to your order even when you pick it up in store, he was advised not to do it but did it anyway Ok, that definetely does not support my statement that he is a good businessman But on the other hand it does at least back up all of your previous statements about what a shitcunt he is. Glass half full and all that.

Won't see him until Southampton away in April, nailed on.

What's the fucking point in that?? Watford, along with Palace and maybe West Ham are the clubs who immediately spring to mind when I think of the cup this year. It should be their absolute over-riding priority for the rest of the season surely!! If you can't have a go at the cup, what's the point in mid-table stability anyway?

Saturday - Tuesday due to BT Sport. Virtually everyone else is playing Wednesday. It shouldn't be an issue but they're all moaning about it and blaming the PL itself for it's contempt for the FA Cup as the FA and the FA Premier League are completely separate. Notice how nobody gives a f*** about playing midweek matches when they're in the Champions League? Vacuous pricks.

The whole thing is hilarious, but what really creased me for some reason was the last sentence"we have our own cameras... but they are no use for a fish quiz." As if Pardew drove someone to writing that!!

We couldn't afford/wouldn't pay for Jordan Rhodes, so the king went gobbing off in the media about how limited a player he is and he wasn't of the standard to play for NUFC. Was probably the absolute worst of all the things he said while he was here- an unprovoked attack on a professional playing in the division below and even more galling as if we had picked him up on the cheap (which is what I'm guessing we tried to do), he would have been full of what a great striker he is and I must thank Mike for getting him over the line etc. Was truly abysmal.

You laugh but if you knew much about business and the economy it honestly is about being in the right place at the right time. Obviously the harder you work and the more intelligent you are the greater chance you have of making it, but do you not think 100s of other people aren't doing exactly that as well? Do you think when Ashley set up his first store he planned the recession? It's no coincidence his value has grown massively since 2007 in so many different ways. He started off with a 10,000 (the equivalent of 31,000 now) loan from his family. How many families do you know will remortgage their house so they can loan their son 31,000 for a new business? To most people the dream would have stopped right there. Didn't he fall out with them, after not paying it back or something along those lines? Yep, iirc he's pretty much estranged from his parents (who are not exactly well off) over it. You know that saying about someone would sell their granny for a few quid? Well swap "granny" for "mam" and "a few quid" for "a slightly smaller liabilities total on the balance sheet" and that's exactly what this cunt did. He's beyond parody man, a despicable human being by any measure make no mistake.

You'd think so, but you know fine well they'll be absolutely full of their mint 6 in a row world champions banter.

You're a lovely man, it's a lovely forum. From a lovely drunk.

"Magnificent" apparently. The manager said so, so it must be true... I really admire the positivity of some, but I didn't see much yesterday to suggest we're staying up. As the old saying should go, if you can't be good be lucky and if you can't be lucky, for the love of God make sure you defend a 93rd minute corner properly!!
-
Booked Janmaat in the middle of a period of similar to worse challenges from both team-and seemingly only because England's Gareth Barry told him to- then let him off a much worse one which was a yellow all day long. And as mentioned above, got his advantage rule very very wrong on numerous occasions.

Biggest wanker from our most recent opposition

Saw two lads handing out leaflets get abused and called mackems by a group of dicks outside the gallowgate last season. Unbelievable that some people a) aren't on the same side as them and b) would actually turn and abuse them for demanding a better club for everyone. Wouldn't be surprised if they hoyed the whole thing in.
-
Do we even know if he'll give a shit if people stop turning up en masse? We're all just guessing, but with the tv money pocketed I'm not sure he'd care, especially with next season's increase. I'm really starting to think that getting relegated this season is the only chance we have of getting rid, and even then it'd have to be followed up with the sort of vitriolic protests I don't think we're capable of as a fanbase.
-
7 men behind the ball at all times, and no coherent tactics other than hoping for some individual brilliance. If we weren't such a joke ourselves I'd almost feel the warm glow of nostalgia.
-
I thought they were class tbh. Problem is my perspective has been warped so much by watching our lot that as soon as I see a player control a ball properly then move forward at pace with their head up looking for options all while managing not to trip over the ball I'm gasping in awe as if they are Pele reincarnated. Only criticism is they did look a little ropey at the back on the odd occasion we reached their box, but seeing as we had no intention of putting them under pressure or attacking with any sort of intent it didn't really matter.
-
Nothing to suggest there's any real quality there. Add that to the fact that the players we have are generally a bunch of spineless b@stards and it's clear we're in a spot of bother here. That's the root of the problem. They're also a bunch of lazy cunts who for some reason seem to think they're good enough to coast through without putting any effort in. I can accept getting beat, especially off a team as good as Leicester are at the minute, and I can accept playing crap, it happens sometimes. But how can you get behind a bunch of individuals who are happy to openly and obviously display that they really don't give a shit. If they don't care why should we??

Not heckling per se, but was at Birmingham City once and some lad shouted "ref, you pink-shirted t***." Some massive skinhead in front of him turned around and in broad Geordie, solemn as you like came out with "excuse me pal, I think you'll find that colour is actually salmon." He didn't look like the sort you'd argue with and this lad obviously thought the same so he said sorry, quickly followed by "refe-f***ing-ree, you salmon-shirted bellend." Made me chuckle that someone would be so particular about colours.

Went to the game today (inlaws are from Barnsley) Looked sharp first 30 minutes in a 4-4-2, won knock downs and movement off the ball was very intelligent. Barnsley seemed to switch to 4-5-1 for a bit then, and he started to tire quickly. Looked spent at half time and was lucky to get 10 mins of the second half. Still dominated in the air mind, not bad considering it was typical lower league rough stuff. Involved in an off the ball incident in the build up to Vales second which the FA may wish to look at.

Official: Daryl Janmaat joins Watford for £7m
geordiesteve710 replied to bowlingcrofty's topic in Football
If it contains words The Mag will put it on the site from what I can see This. Used to be a quality read as a paper publication- as an online entity the mantra seems to be along the lines of "more articles = more clicks." They had a non-entity of an article up after the derby which was just a copy and paste job on what Sunderland fans thought of the 6-in-a-row merchandise. Used to be a NUFC -related magazine back in the day. -
I'm sure they must've done more than that to get banned for life though!! Its pretty much impossible to get banned from anywhere in town for more than a few weeks (unless you get involved in fighting or serious vandalism I'd imagine.) They must have shouted it across the room at him to try and incite others to attack him, or maybe told the barman "I'm gonna go over there and start a riot" or summat. Can't believe any establishment in the city centre would be so stupid as to have him in there on that night in any case. Could very easily have ended up with no establishment left.
