Optimistic Nut Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 "He wasn't on penalties and he'd have been in trouble had he missed, but fair play to him, he's obviously a very confident lad." - JFK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Good first half, but went completely missing in the 2nd, hardly had a touch. However that's not to say anyone else was any better. We pretty much bypassed the midfield in second half, he couldn't do anything but chase the opposition, which he did more energetically than most of the other players.

JJ7 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Not sure why he wasnt on pens anyway tbh. He's our best penalty taker, certainly better than Martins from the spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Not sure why he wasnt on pens anyway tbh. He's our best penalty taker, certainly better than Martins from the spot. Kinnear probably thought with it being his first start in however long that he would let the situation and pressure get to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Joey Barton: That was for everyone I've let down JOEY BARTON grabbed his first goal for Newcastle United at St James’ Park and insisted: “That was for all the people I have let down.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/10/29/joey-barton-that-was-for-everyone-i-ve-let-down-72703-22143049/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Everyone I know thinks he's a right cunt and he probably really is, but he's ours and when he's wearing the stripes, I'll be backing him full tilt. Good game from him and maybe, just maybe, he can fulfill the promise he showed in last year's preseason games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Id go as far as saying that making him captain now would be a very good mood providing the players were alrite with it, it would be the best thing JFK could do to invoke that siege mentality. The media would go fucking crazy, i think that "us against them" attitude could work wonders for us in the situation we're in now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media would go f***ing crazy, i think that "us against them" attitude could work wonders for us in the situation we're in now. I'll tell you one thing about Barton, he's always seems to be talking to others. I noticed before the cgame, he had a long chat with Enrique, obviously trying to encourage him in his first start for a while. At half time, he was at it again this time with Colo. I'm not sure he should be captain but it's good to see some communication going on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 How refreshing to have just been able to appreciate his actual play. Didn't even have a single silly tackle, not one dodgy moment. Proud of the guy. Hope he keeps it up. If he manages to truly turn the corner after all he's been through, he will turn out to be a really special player for us and a special person. Keep it up.

Mowen Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 His through ball to Shola in the move that led to the penalty was excellent. Tired badly in the second half, but a huge improvement on anyone else we've seen in CM so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Really made us tick throughout the match, despite tiring a bit towards the end, but that's to be expected when he's played so little. If he can sort his personal life out, could be great for us. Regardless, he's wearing the shirt, so we should all back him 110%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would do the people here good to note that attitude should apply to all of our players, not just the one's who've been to prison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
