Mr Logic Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was talking to their manager Alan Pardew this week and I asked him if he'd surprised himself. He just said "the players have been great" and he is dead right. Anyone else tickled by this comment? It's such a pointless, boring, lazy and utterly empty sentence. Befitting of Lawro. Tickled isn't the word I would use but I know what you mean. And Ba wasn't that far of having a hissy fit it seems, fortunately it didn't last long. Fingers crossed.

54 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Newcastle v Stoke PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 I expect Newcastle to be sitting in the top four at the end of the weekend. They're on an unbelievable roll, Stoke aren't great away from home and I see them winning this game 2-0 to keep their run going. Champions League football should be in their hands at the end of the weekend and even though they've got some stinking fixtures coming up, that's all you can ask for.

Dr Venkman Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Newcastle v Stoke Speaking of form teams, Newcastle have put themselves in a great position at the top end of the table and, the way they are playing, I am going to have to go for another Magpies win here, which would be their sixth in a row. I was talking to their manager Alan Pardew this week and I asked him if he'd surprised himself. He just said "the players have been great" and he is dead right. The way Pardew plays, with his 4-3-3 formation, totally suits the players he has got. It's a perfect fit. I like their attitude too. Papiss Cisse has quite rightly got lots of publicity recently but Demba Ba has been great for them because he has moved out wide to the left to make room for Cisse and he has just got on with it. Ba could have had a hissy fit and complained that he had been playing in the centre - and scoring goals - until Cisse arrived but he didn't do that and, in general, it seems the spirit in their squad is spot on. They have got great belief and you have to say that, on their day, their front three of Hatem Ben Arfa, Cisse and Ba is as good as most in the top flight. Stoke's season has petered out a bit, but it has still been a good one for them. They are safe yet again and have had some European experience, which Tony Pulis and his side will build on. Prediction: 2-0 Think that's the most Lawrenson has ever written about us Unless you're at home to Bolton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Up against Clive Woodward this week (who reckons 1-1 in our game). And here's Lawrenson's prediction: Wigan v Newcastle This is an interesting game because, with six wins on the bounce, Newcastle are undoubtedly the Premier League's form team. They look like a Champions League side at the moment, and although their run has to end at some point, they have hit their stride at exactly the right time and they are playing like they think they can beat whoever they are up against. The Magpies have benefited from being able to play their front three of Papiss Demba Cisse, Demba Ba and Hatem Ben Arfa in all six of those games, and you can see why Alan Pardew's men are playing with a swagger right now because they are creating stacks of chances. They get goals from everywhere and, even if they are under a bit of pressure at the DW Stadium, they can break so quickly because those front three players are like lightning. Wigan were on a really good run themselves until their defeat by Fulham last weekend but, because they have struggled for so much of the season, the suspicion with them is that slip-up might be the start of another poor run.

EthiGeordie Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Newcastle v Man City (1330 BST) I really thought that Chelsea would beat Newcastle in midweek, but the reason they didn't was because of those two stunning goals by Papiss Demba Cisse. It is understandable why everyone is raving about Cisse's second goal because it was absolutely brilliant. It was a great win for the Magpies but this is Manchester City we are talking about. With only two games left, they know that if they win both games then they win the Premier League and I think they will go to Newcastle and win. Yes, of course it will be a difficult game but Newcastle need a win too so they are going to have to open up a little bit. I just think City, at the moment, away from home have realised what they have to do to win games. I know it has taken them a while but the penny has dropped. How will Roberto Mancini's men approach this game? Well, they will give ultimate respect to Newcastle and will see what they have got in the first half an hour before they start to turn the screw. If they get good service to Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez, then I think that will be good enough to see City through. Prediction: 1-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
