merlin Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Deserved a draw, no more, no less.... Better second-half performance but they had the best chances in first half - an absorbing match even if the quality wasn't great. Ameobi was just awful, but at least his pen was a good one - I was sure he would miss.... How any one can knock Enrique is a mystery to me - the lad was probably our best all round player, making just one bad pass ; great support to Jonas on the left and is faster than some people think. It will be a bad error if he is sold, he is going to be a good player - I always thought so, and it looks as if he has been determined to prove himself ; we need that sort of attitude.... Jonas had some great chances to put in decent crosses, but failed to make most of them count although he WAS heavily marked and you can't knock his workrate and temperament. Duff was - well, Duff.. Bassong very good, we would have lost without him, Harper also good apart from one mistake ; his block after we scored saved the game. Coloccini looks unhappy with the physical style of the Prem and was caught out badly by Cisse for their goal...I'm still not certain about his long term prospects at NUFC,but he would probably be a success on the Continent if he returned there because he IS a good footballer. Quiet but useful debut by Nolan - his tackling/chasing back will be vital if the club are to survive in the Prem. but sadly, I think this was a 'must win' game - the game at WBA will NOT be easy and in my view we are underdogs...if the game is lost, we will be firm favourites for the drop and I will raise my relegationmeter rating to 8 from a firm 7....

JK will find SOME way to knock Enrique - and then laud Ameobi, Duff and Butt to the skies....in fact he's already stated how Ameobi was 'forced' to play therefore making me think 'Damn, that Ameobi is one Geordie soldier. What true battler he is.' PISS OFF! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone else witness the smoke bombs outside the Dog and Parrot? There was a mild panic when someone shouted "it's tear gas!", although i had a good laugh when another oik (and clearly a Call of Duty fan) screamed "OUR ARTILLERY VILL SHAKE ZEM UP!" Some running against the coppers outside the station too, mainly by Newcastle fans who were just up for bother even after the mackems went home. And finally a ridiculously camp fight between two Newcastle fans outside The Forth. He was on a kill streak of 5? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I think it woulb be a good idea to have a big cage for the sundlund matches. allow, so many fans in, and out per side,...always even numbers...no weapons. the ones who want to can get on with it,.... proper fighting. the others can avoid or watch through the cage,. Maybe it could be on the pitch before the game and at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fraser Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought we really dominated them in the second-half. With replacements from a bench selected from Krul, Beye, N'Zogbia (or replacement), Owen, Martins, Viduka, Guthrie, or Barton we might have been able to go on and win it.

Guest optimistic nit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Coming out the Dog and Parrot we saw a mackem with a mackem air freshner dangling from his car. Obscenties where exchanged. He charged us with his car and his windscreen and door ended up smashed to hell. Chest puffing is one thing, serious battle is another. Harper- 6- Did nowt Taylor- 8-Did everything asked Enrique-6- Started well but faded Colo- 6- Battled hard Bassong-7- Great stuff Duff-5- Rubbish Nolan- 5- Totally ower owed Butt-6- Kept things ticking Guttieriez-5- Incapable of a decent final ball, rubbish. Carrol- 5- Average Ambeobi- 5- Not fit those ratings are a joke tbh. how can you give ameobi and carrol a 5 (the same as duff, jonas and nolan) when we dominated sunderland for the whole game and only lost because carrol and ameobi we're playing stuck in the mud for shits and giggles.

Guest Immsy7 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Look at the team we COULD have fielded against the scums if we had a injury-free team. Harper Beye - Coloccini - Bassong - Enrique Jonas - Barton - Nolan Martins - Owen - Viduka Thats a quality change if you ask me. ah well Thats not bad at all in fairness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
