JH Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cabaye scored two in the game, too, and has been one of the great successes of the season, having cost £4million. He’s a pass master. Hard to believe he was playing in the Norwegian 3rd division less than 12 months ago. Eh? Carroll will have to go regardless of his good recent form and in his place we should bring in the best striker we can find - not some attempt at copying Newcastle and finding an obscure "bargain" in the Norwegian 3rd division but a proper £25m+ striker who can score goals. Would be worth every last penny http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=292592.360 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 philippe auclair spouting inaccuracies regarding out front players. We've relieved on the same front 4/5 'creators' all season apparently. Do we sign another 3/4 forward players for the sake of it? And what happened to the players who played when Ben Arfa and Cisse weren't at the club? Oh, and the guys who played when Demba was at the Afcon? We've had large parts of the season where Best, Jonas & Obertan were 3 of our main 4 attackers. That's no dig at those 3, but to say we've relied on 4/5 "creators" is just rubbish. It's only really been since Norwich that we've been ripping teams apart. Upto that point a lot of it was good organisation and hard work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we have relied heavily on the same 4 or 5 creative players up front that makes us different to just about every other team in what way? Just another bitter fucker that's upset that we've 'invaded' the top levels of the league and trying to find any little 'fact' that they can to try and tear us down.

Wallace Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Another popular misconception is that we have suffered no long-term injuries this season!! What about our second best central defender? Marveaux? Tiote and Guthrie out for a few weeks at a time. Ben Arfa missing the first few weeks of the season. Topping the injury list just a few weeks ago. And then losing Ba and Tiote for the ACoN.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 People forget that he's younger than the likes of Perch and Gary Cahill and plays a position that is dominated by older players throughout Europe. He's just entering his prime now and should be a fixture in our team for a very long time. However, he has also proven himself to be very susceptible to injury in his short career and that has to be considered. It's three consecutive seasons now that he's missed the majority of our matches and our transfer policy should reflect his inability to stay on the pitch.

Benwell Lad Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Going backwards he's still iffy but he's reading the game better and actually looks good on the ball now. He was the first individual player I remember hearing Pardew talk about, not long after he became manager. It was obvious that he rated him highly and said he would work with him and particularly mentioned his physique which he said was too top heavy and restricted his mobility and ability to turn. Perhaps it was something Pardew picked up on during his sabbatical studying the Bundesliga. Anyway whatever he did, when Taylor came back into the side towards the end of last season, he looked like a quality Premier League defender, which was something I never thought he would become.

This has reminded me that years ago when Paul Winsper became fitness coach he had to spend the first few training sessions training the CBs how to run backwards as they had no idea, so were always losing their balance and falling over.

FrenchWilliam Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Match report from the Guardian. A) doesn't describe the first goal at all well, and B) doesn't even mention the second, despite it being one of the shots/goals of the season! Newcastle United moved four points clear of Chelsea in the pursuit of a Champions League place with this victory but the outcome was overshadowed. The visitors' midfielder Cheik Tioté suffered a head injury when the raised arm of Mikel John Obi caught him on the head. An oxygen mask had been applied before he was carried off in the 68th minute. There was relief after the match when it was confirmed that Tioté was back on his feet. "A nine inch gash, 400 stitches," said his light-hearted manager, Alan Pardew, later, "but it's just a scratch to him. He'll have a little patch on him on Sunday [against Manchester City] and he'll play. I didn't think it was anything malicious." Chelsea have Saturday's FA Cup final to prevent them from brooding but there must also be an examination of the factors that left them so unimpressive against Newcastle. While the lineup was altered, with midfielders such as Frank Lampard and Juan Mata both utilised as substitutes, the failure to build any intensity must still alarm Roberto Di Matteo. Newcastle took the lead with a simple yet impressive goal in the 19th minute. Davide Santon rolled a pass to Papiss Cissé and the striker, showing fine control, gathered the ball and, with his second touch, fired home an excellent shot from just inside the penalty area. Despite the angle Petr Cech could not stop the drive from going across him and into the top corner for his second goal. Newcastle, sharing Chelsea's desire for that Champions League opportunity, had pursued it with verve. Di Matteo's side will most likely need to win the Champions League if they are to appear in it next season as they stand sixth in the table, four points adrift of Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur. A sequence of nine successive seasons in the elite European competition may soon end. Di Matteo's immediate concern for Chelsea must lie in the meagreness of their play. Newcastle were never reduced to panic and the hosts discovered that their prominence this season is no quirk. Pardew sent out a composed and confident line-up that never surrendered complete control. Chelsea at least opened the second-half with a little vehemence of their own, although the sedate approach that had preceded it was mystifying. Too much attention might have been paid to home advantage when the contest simply brought together two sides that the table declares to be evenly matched. Di Matteo sought to tip the balance with the introduction of Mata for Daniel Sturridge. His side at least began to hold a territorial domination but Newcastle did not quake at a bolder approach from Chelsea that was inevitable. The visitors were still calm as Di Matteo's men pushed forward with intent, even if guile was not immediately detectable. Di Matteo until now had made his mark with vigorous form. His team came to this occasion unbeaten over its past 11 games in all competitions. The visitors' mood would, at the very least, have been more complex. After reeling off six victories in the league they were beaten 4-0 by Wigan at the weekend. Rather than traumatising the team, it galvanised them. They had no great cause for anxiety. Ramires did well to climb and meet a Fernando Torres cross from the right but the header went wide of the far post. Newcastle were not in the least concerned. Pardew's side carried more menace and just before the interval Demba Ba demanded a good save from Cech and, moments later, the striker hit the bar with a drive. Chelsea were shaken throughout the night. This campaign has been a perplexing one. An effort is under way to restructure the squad as key figures such as Lampard move into the veteran stage. This disappointment revealed just how taxing it may be to bring into being a lineup fit for the sternest of challengers. This outcome is not simply a setback. It shakes the entire vision that Roman Abramovich has for this club. The season was intended to be one of regeneration no matter who happened to be occupying the dug-out. That project is one that sets subtle challenges. Bringing it to fruition while switching managers is a complication. Although Di Matteo had enjoyed good results, he does not have the authority to reshape the task in its entirety. That will alter in due course when a long-term appointment is made, if such a thing is feasible in the changeable environment that the owner has created at the club http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/02/chelsea-newcastle-united-premier-league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 From the Daily Mash: Opening ceremony a 'good time to bury bad Newcastle' 27-07-12 THE government plans to bulldoze Newcastle while the nation’s attention is on the opening of the Olympic Games. The top-secret scheme, codenamed ‘Operation Biffa Brown Ale’, was revealed in a leaked memo last night and will see the economically-challenged city razed to the ground, then replaced with a llama park. An extract from the document reads: “We are talking about a city of woebegotten, boat-greeting lard addicts who as a species very probably only crawled out of the sea about 120 years ago. “They will have 45 minutes notice to bundle together their belongings – in which shirts do not figure highly – then go find somewhere else to infest, preferably North of the border or beyond.” The government had planned to save some of the more interesting features of Newcastle, but has since decided to trash the lot. Special advisor Eleanor Shaw said: “Actually, all you’re left with once you’re razed the useless bits is that bridge. And when all’s said and done, it’s just a fucking bridge. Might as well bury that too. “What’s the point in being in Government if we can’t make a difference?” Emma Bradford, head of the Newcastle Tourist board said: “No one has consulted us about this scheme, which many in Newcastle will find quite offensive. “We have a great deal to offer here, including multi-storey car parks which are the equal of any in London or Birmingham.” Despite growing evidence to the contrary, David Cameron continues to deny the demolition plans. He said: “These ideas are very much at the think tank stage, there are no immediate plans to bury Newcastle in its own soil, rubber and cesspipes – however noxious and overflowing they might be. “I would advise everyone in Newcastle to just keep their eyes glued to the telly this evening, although if they should notice the ground shaking it’s probably best to embrace the Olympic spirit and run.” gits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
