Guest Heneage Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Bet it was because not many other clubs sell out their away allocation at Stoke. The allocation doesn't cover half the stadium. Apparently Martins was out in Jesmond today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 A dire performance in footballing terms, but a bit more fight shown Ameobi is a legend in his own time - a player that not even his own club's fans can understand how 4 different managers(at least)continue to allow to wear the B & W shirt.. Carroll has a much better future in front of him provided that he can keep his head straight ; he is a greater threat physically, will contribute more to the team and I expect him to be the biggest beneficiary of Shearer's managership - especially if Al stays beyond this season. The midfield couldn't hold/pass the ball to save their lives and Nolan/Taylor get worse by the week ; for all Stoke's physical style and home record, our team of 95/96 would have eaten them for breakfast - they would have been passed off the park....this shows how far the club has sunk in the last 10 years. Despite the optimism, the club is still in a very serious position ; Spurs' recent record and climb away from danger gives no cause for optimism about our visit there, and the result at Boro will give them renewed heart for the battle ahead. I reckon the game with them at SJP could decide the club's fate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if other clubs take say 1000 and the Stoke fans fill their seats, that's less than what it was on Saturday with a packed away end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Oh man, thank fuck for that. I liked the idea of a 3 pronged attack (obviously before it was cancelled due to Oba). But Ameobi? I think if we are going to try it again, swap Carroll for Ameobi and get Jonas on. Why the fuck didn't he start!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Don't know if this has been mentioned already (can't be arsed to look through 38 pages to find out) but Nicky Butt's performance on Saturday was nothing short of a fucking disgrace! His passing has been called into question a lot on this forum but i've honestly never seen a worse attempt at impersonating a professional footballer than his effort at the weekend. I watched the game with two mates (neither a Newcastle fan) and they were genuinley shocked at how shit we were, but in particular how shit Nicky Butt was. The number of times he passed the ball to the opposition, underhit short passes that my 3 year-old daughter could have made, ran the ball out of play etc. suggests he is absolutely the wrong man to have in the team during this relegation dogfight. I'd rather see Smith or Colocini playing the holding role if that's the best we can expect from Butt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5191055,00.html Beattie blames Bassong Potters forward claims defender caught him 'on purpose' Stoke City striker James Beattie feels that he was caught by Newcastle United defender Sebastien Bassong 'on purpose'. Beattie suffered a head wound in his side's 1-1 Premier League draw with the Magpies last weekend after he was caught by Bassong's arm. The former Sheffield United frontman was forced to have a dozen stitches on the cut, but is hopeful of being fit for Saturday's match versus Blackburn Rovers. He told The Sentinel: "I think he got booked, didn't he? So the ref has seen it. I thought he did it on purpose. "Either way, it hopefully won't stop me from playing. I don't know if I'll have to wear something to protect it. "I'll have a word with the physio and he'll probably have me wearing something stupid!" Biggest pile of bollocks I've ever heard.

It was right in front of us and we honestly didn't believe Bassong did anything but win the header. Your latter point is completely right though.
