Peterborough 2 - 3 Newcastle United - 03/04/10 - post match reaction from p21

Just back from the match - fantastic atmosphere in the away end but a very dodgy performance, 20 second half minutes aside.

 

The players were half asleep for the first 40 minutes but brought to life second half.

 

A few notable things for me;

 

Barton was blowing out of his arse after 20 minutes, and his set pieces were shite, that free kick apart. Enrique needs to be given a shot at the corners when Guthrie doesn't play.

 

Routledge got absolutely no change out of Griffiths, their left back, when he came on, but the pitch didn't lend itself to players running at pace as it was muddy as fuck with the ball bobbling all over.

 

Pancrate is god awful.

 

Smith barely had a look in.

 

Even Shola seemed surprised his goal went in.

 

Most memorable moment of the day - after the warm up, a young newcastle lad/mascot (about 11 years old) was played in by his old man before kick off, smashed the ball into an open net and then proceeded to celebrate like he scored the winner at the world cup in front of the away end, pulling out a Spiderman mask and milking the applause for a good 5 minutes - the Fans went absolutely mental for the craic. Great stuff.

 

 

Edit - Leon (or now the newly christened 'Georgie' by our sarcastic away following!) Best won't get a better chance to break his duck than he did in the second half, facing the Newcastle Fans, willing the ball into the net for him but he shat his pants. Fucking Garbage.

He looked fat as fuck on the pictures SSN showed at full time. Eating tips from Nolan?

Haven't seen the pics mate but he looked tubby from behind after he chucked his top in. Seriously, he is absolutely nowhere near full fitness.

 

Leon Best also looks like he's carrying timber.

 

The pitch really didn't help but fuck me so many of our lot looked to be struggling today fitness wise.

Aye, Guthrie's defo got more than one chin.

It may have sounded like a joke, but they should all be looking like Enrique, no excuse not to unless you can run faster and for longer than Jose.

And José is not exactly the Slim-meister either. Most of them could lose a few pounds of fat tbh.

Even the legend that is Jose looked a bit sluggish in the first half mate. Like I said earlier, I think the pitch probably had a lot to do with it.

The first half was like watching a sunday league match. Everyone was so slow and sloppy on the ball. Not sure many will agree with this but I prefer Hall to Williamson - Williamson struggled with Dickinson all game.

Thought Best played quite well today. Definitely gave 100%, at least got into to some positions to shoot and made the keeper make a decent save after he turned their centre back inside out. Barton played well seeing as it's his first start back. Shit performance but it's about the points at this stage.

Just got in. First half was shite. Harper cocked up for the first goal, if Guthrie wasn't injurred then he should be disappointed that he didn't start as he is different class to Pancrate and a Joey Barton who was clearly not match fit. Best couldn't score in a brothel. Nolan goal was up the other end so  we couldn't really see what happened, but it seemed scrappy. They came out in the second half with a completely different attitude. Barton's goal was mint, but his corners were shite. Shola was Shola tbh. Routledge worked hard. The crowd was fab today, terracing really needs to come back. Cracking atmosphere.

Agree with all of that Blef. Pretty much echoes my post of the last page - great atmosphere there today.

This although I thought Barton got a bit better as the game went on (certainly for a period after his goal) and was also stuck out on the left which we all know is not his best position. Was by far Leon's best (See what i did there?!?!) game for us so far although that is not saying alot. He did show strength and the ability to turn and get a shot off a couple of times. Have a sneaky feeling that he is the kind of player who score goals in Chopra-esque spurts although am very dubious as to whether he will be able to do this in the Premiership.

Agree with that - thought the coppers/stewards were way over the top frogmarching people out for doing nothing more than celebrating a goal, it looked like they were trying to pull people out of the crowd, filming it all as well, wouldnt happen anywhere else apart from a football match- fucking disgrace
