BlueStar Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Can't remember ever facing a derby with such little confidence in both the ability of the players to perform or of the manager to motivate them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ricky ready for cop ruck RICKY SBRAGIA is taking on the cops before taking on Newcastle in Sunday’s Tyne-Wear derby. The Black Cats chief reckons last season’s St James’ Park defeat was partly down to the police advising they arrived early to avoid fan trouble. Sbragia has now approached Northumbria police, demanding a later arrival time this season. He said: “Last year, we were in the dressing room for 2½ hours, which was ridiculous. “Players were sitting around, gazing at each other, reading programmes, walking in and out, trying to look busy. I could smell it wasn’t right. “This time, we’ll do what’s right for the club.” what fucking bull shit. "I can't play football well today, despite earning £xx,xxx per week, this 2.5 hour wait has rendered me useless" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Looking at the table, three points for us on Sunday would be an absolutely massive boost for us while if we lose and some other results go against us we could find ourselves in a whole new world of shit, surpassing even the most grim moments of the season.

TRon Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The wrong game at the wrong time. The crowd will lift the players but I don't think there is enough in our squad with the self-belief it's going to need. Sunderland are a team of mercenaries, but the likes Of Cisse will lift their games for this one, and I don't see enough match winners in our team without the likes of Martins. West Brom will be our best hope as we might have a couple of signings by then and Oba will be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TêteDeMaure Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 NUFC.com seem to think he is suspended. ''Shaun Wight-Phillips and inevitably Craig Bellamy had put City two up but it was serious injuries to Michael Owen and Joey Barton, plus a suspension for Jonas Gutierrez that leaves us in a crisis, ahead of Sunday's derby game.''

magpie418 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The Sunderland game and the close of the transfer window could well spell the end of my close following of NUFC. I just can't see us winning, and if we do, it'll be an ugly, skin-of-our-teeth affair. What hope is there right now? We have an owner with ZERO ambition, our top players either don't care or just get injured over and over again. Shay is right, it's time to jump ship. I love this club. I adore the atmosphere, the fans, St James' is without rival in the Premier League for stirring up that feeling of excitement. But guys, call me a coward, but this just hurts to much. Seeing us roll over, the injuries come in, the decisions going against us, and seeing Clueless Kinnear backed by a Fat Man with no ambition just breaks my heart. We'll not lose at SJP to the Mackems, if we do, it'll be the end. If we don't sign at least two more players this window, I'm just gonna stop. Sell the rest of my season ticket and find another club to follow casually. I can't wait for the kids to come through and hopefully soon Newcastle will return to pride, and I'll be there. But, like Shay, I love the club but cannot continue with it right now. You know it's going too far when you sit in the whole night, distraught and depressed cause of the situation. Mike Ashley: when will you understand that your wallet more than cash? It holds the keys to the hearts of a people. I never thought I'd see Given leave. I never thought I'd see us show this little ambition. It's like we're trying to get relegated. I considered that maybe relegation would be beneficial, but it wouldn't. The only way to save the club is for Ashley to step aside to someone who truly cares, and 'gets it' and get a quality manager in. And switch that damned training ground. Will that happen? No. So why stick around and endure the pain? Like I said, where is the hope? I know I'll never be able to support another team the way I do Newcastle, but I think I might root for Villa for a while. It's great to see a genuine, passionate team pushing at the top with average players just playing football without massive financial backing. They're everything we should be. Sheppard, Ashley, Llambias, Wise, Souness, Allardyce, Guillet and, yes, Keegan's second coming. It's destroyed the pride from Robson's tenure. Destroyed it. I just can't pretend like I support it any longer. NUFC, I will support to the day I die and shout my heart out for any player donning the shirt who truly cares. But this club stinks to the core of poor management and corruption. As for the Mackem game, I predict 1-2. Duff - Jones, Richardson Injuries: Bassong, Jonas will get injured. (Laugh, but I feckin' predicted Barton's injury before tonight's match.) Sorry for the depression, just had to clear my head. Fuck off you mackem bastard. We'll beat these cnuts no bother.

Danh1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We will lose 2-0, we are absolutely fucking shite, and although hey aren't great they have strikers capable of scoring and other players capable of winning games. Carrol and Lovenkrands up front? They're dismal players and won't get us anywhere fast. Martins won't be back. and when we get beat I won't be the slightest fucking surprised. Kinnear is a clown and the cunts running the show are absolutely clueless and have no love for NUFC, just money. I'm sick of watching shite but I'll be 100% behind the useless cunts on Sunday, at the end of the season I hope that everyone Unites to get the Fat wreck out of the club.

PM Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Someone clarify for me. Is Jonas banned for this game or not? I heard it on the radio but people are saying not.... He is due a 1 match ban for 5 yellows, some think that it takes 7 days for that ban to come into effect some think it comes into effect straight away. Right, so who's right and who is wrong? I thought it was the next game that you were banned for. Unless it's changed recently (and if it has nobody's told me), it's 7 days. We had the same situation with Babayaro a few years ago. EDIT: Just checked on The FA site and his suspension starts on Feb 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I find it likely that our staff won't realise this and he'll sit this one out, and then subsequently WBA. That's how much faith I have in our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If those are the only players that are fit, the only possible change is Geremi on the bench, Colo midfield again and Edgar in at right back. There's no way he'll blood a kid in this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Martins may play, its up to him really. If he feels confident enough with his injury. If he can't go Carroll on Ferdinand and Lovenkrands on Collins, its pace and power at its most basic level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I fear Jones and Cisse are going to rape our defence from every possible angle, it's going to be a massive test for our defence and Colo in particular. That said Sunderland are fairly average everywhere else and if by some miracle we keep their frontline quiet we'll win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
