Danny Simpson (now retired)

[Newcastle Fan]

Didn't think that this thread will be about Bale vs Simpson but since i'm here i have to say i'm really impressed by Simpson since he returned, i guess its because we had that useless tit Perch at right back and he wasn't even a right back.

[Stu]

Danny Simpson was brilliant yesterday, Steven Taylor has never played that well at right back, don't see how people are expecting him to either.

 

Nah, he's like a white Cafu

[Guest ObiChrisKenobi]

Danny Simpson just needs to watch his Andy Griffin Man-Marking tapes and he'll settle Bale down within the first 10 minutes with a ball winning tackle that racks the inside ankle of Bale.

Bale tore Maicon a new hole yesterday so I don't think there's any shame in Simpson getting bummed by him.

[David28]

Who cares about Bale btw? We'll win (3-1) against Spurs, anyway.

[Dan Gleebals]

Bale was absolute class last night, dont think many players would have lived with that, Simpson included.

[KaKa]

Rafa is a stubborn old billy goat. Should have doubled up on Bale and stifled him, but again continuously left Maicon one on one with him. Foolishness. Hughton I doubt will allow the same to happen.

[wormy]

Hughton > Benitez

[Village Idiot]

To be honest, Bale hasn't destroyed that many PL rightbacks this season, his form has been mostly against Inter de Milan in the CL.

[Nobody]

Just watched the game from Sunday again, he barely put a foot wrong. Not his biggest fan, but he was terrific, made some important blocks and linked well with Barton. Terrific cross for the fourth as well, obviously. Will certainly give him another chance in the Premiership.

[Cajun]

I told you he was getting better whilst out injured 

[Guest firetotheworks]

He's had a few very good games for us. Keep it up and I might have to eat and then puke up some humble pie.

[oldtype]

Should be singled out for arguably being the best player in an outstanding defensive line today. I didn't think it was possible but he's raised his game to the Premiership.

[jdckelly]

epic display from him defensivly, if he keeps this up capello will come knocking considering the derth of decent english rbs

[johnnypd]

magnificent today. can't believe this is the same player who struggled a division below last season. looks strong and confident atm. a MOTM contender for me.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

I thought he was very very good today. Coped very well with the threat and cut out a number of their chances. Excellent.

Got to wonder how much affect the injury was having.

Couldn't agree more. I've been bigging Steven Taylor up as our right back, but Simpson was immense today.

[JH]

He was a fucking wall today. Best I've seen from him defensively.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

He looks faster than I remember him too, great to see him playing so well for us

[Newcastle Fan]

Not a single game lost when he's playing this season!

Well, I was saying that all along, that his injury was affecting him.   

[Skeletor]

Danny Simpson the lucky charm.

[SGSC]

Fantastic to see a player i actually trust in the RB position

i noticed in his first game back he seemed to have bulked up. looks imposing in an Enrique way now.
