Cheick Tioté (1986–2017)

[LoveItIfWeBeatU]

Cisse and Tiote were not aware at the time of the nature of Wonga’s business and feel aggrieved the club did not inform them.

 

I suppose it would be too much effort for them to have done their own research into what Wonga do?

 

I wonder if we had a Christian player who suddenly decided Sunday was the day of rest and said he wouldn't play on a Sunday would people accept that? The same goes for a Jewish player who decided playing on a Saturday wasn't allowed.

 

I have no time for any religion. They may as well be saying "The magic elf at the bottom of my garden says I can't do X or Y". It reminds me of a mate at school who got told by a lass that she couldn't go out with him any more because "Jesus told her to split up with him".

Brilliant news, just what we needed.

Absolutely tedious.

[The College Dropout]

So annoying when people say a tackler/combative midfielder isn't needed anymore. While Martinez is a much better footballer in every way. He's a hard tackle in the middle of the pitch.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Except Javi Martinez has a brain and technique.

"Cisse, signed from Freiburg in Germany for £8m in 2011, may be sold if he does not agree to wear the Wonga strip."

 

[The College Dropout]

Except Javi Martinez has a brain and technique.

 

Yes. But technique isn't the main reason he's such a great player at CM/DM. He's there primarily to break stuff up, win headers, tackle and to get moves started. Previously they started Gustavo who had a similar role but isn't as good.

 

You look at their midfield and its full of height, strength, power and a lot of tackle.

[Mole_Toonfan]

And there is nothing wrong with that but Tiote offers about 0.2 percent of what you describe.

 

His positional sense is awful, constantly gives the ball away in bad areas and lacks technique and athleticism to start attacks and drive the team forward.

 

Thus not good enough.

Newcastle United given a tough start against Manchester City

by Mark Douglas, The JournalJun 20 2013Add a comment

 

 

GIVEN the strife, intrigue and downright farce of this week at St James’ Park, the return of Premier League football will come as some sort of blessed relief to Newcastle United fans.

 

That is the theory, at least. The reality is a refreshed Manchester City await the Magpies on August 17 – and trips to the north west have not ended particularly well for Newcastle in recent seasons.

 

Last term’s 4-0 thrashing was a particular low point, but it is 13 years since United were victorious at Manchester City’s home.

 

You would probably get pretty long odds on them bucking that trend at the moment, given all that has gone on in the last week.

 

The fixtures were more generous to Sunderland, though, who take on poor travellers Fulham in their opening-day clash.

 

Two long trips follow for Paolo Di Canio’s men – at Southampton and newly-promoted Crystal Palace – but there are opportunities there for a Black Cats team which will be completely rebuilt by their new Italian hierarchy.

 

Other dates being rung in diaries either side of the river are October 26 – the first derby – and February 1, which is when the two teams meet at St James’ Park.

 

 

December programmes differ greatly for the two teams, with Sunderland welcoming Chelsea, Spurs and Norwich to the Stadium of Light while they trek to West Ham, Everton (on Boxing Day) and Cardiff on December 28.

 

Newcastle, who endured a dreadful December last term, have home games against Stoke on Boxing Day before hosting Arsenal on December 28.

 

They end the season at Anfield while Sunderland host Swansea.

 

For Cheick Tiote, there is a belief Newcastle can start well: “Every footballer is excited to see the new fixtures when they come out and I am the same.

 

“The first game at Manchester City is difficult start to the season but we will go there to win, of course.

 

“The games at the start of the season are difficult to predict, but if we have had a good pre-season we will have a very good chance of picking up points at Manchester City.

 

“Every team wants a strong start to the season and it is the same for us.

 

“West Ham will be a good first home game for us at St James' Park and then we have four or five games after that which we can get good results from to help us start the season well.

 

“It's very important we get this season off to a strong start because we all want to give the fans, the team and the staff something to celebrate this year, especially after last season which was disappointing.

 

“We do not have any European games this season and without those extra games we can be very successful because we have very good quality in the squad, very good players and team spirit.

 

“I am looking forward to starting pre-season training again and getting prepared for August.”

 

In the Football League, Colin Cooper’s first game in charge of Hartlepool will be at Rochdale as Pool look to bounce out of League Two at the first time of asking. His first home game is against Phil Brown’s Southend.

 

Cooper said: “Seeing those fixtures all laid out just builds the excitement and we just can’t wait to get going.

 

“It’s a good test for us in the first game with Phil Brown bringing his Southend side here;.

 

“It will be good for him to come back to The Vic and I imagine he’ll be wanting to push on after settling in over the last six months.”

 

Greg Abbott will face an early return to former club Bradford City in Carlisle’s League One programme.

 

The Cumbrians welcome Leyton Orient to Brunton Park on the opening day but will then travel to Valley Parade on August 10. Their final game of the season is at Wolves.

 

Middlesbrough are at home to Leicester on the opening day.

Possible custodial if he's being sent upstairs for trial.

[Belfast Mags]

Can somebody please explain this to me. Why would he need a fake ID in the first place?

[NEEJ]

Because he's as thick as pigshit.

[madras]

Can somebody please explain this to me. Why would he need a fake ID in the first place?

to hide his real age obviously as he is a footballer of african origin.

[Guest Yanga]

Doesn't strike me as the smartest bloke...

 

Shame, though. We really need him to get his head down, have a good preseason and hit the ground running come August. On his day he's one of our most effective players - we'll need him to be at the top of his game if Cabaye goes.

[Crumpy Gunt]

Can somebody please explain this to me. Why would he need a fake ID in the first place?

So he could use his EU driving licence and not have to pass a test within 12 months on an international licence. Hence the motoring offences on the back of the forged documentation. Just my guess mind.

 

Plod in the UK will be streets ahead of anything his part of Africa could offer. Makes you wonder how the Club allowed this to get as far as it did.

I've said this before and I will say it again, the Premier League and PFA need to get a proper grip on driving offences.

 

Large fines or match suspensions. Look at the drop in players suddenly getting done for driving offences.

Got to say its a good idea. Their fines never match up and considering how much money they get so young allowing them access to stupidly fast cars then more should be done to punish them.

Ah you see you missed the part where no one said the law would change, but in fact the FA should imply their own sanctions, which are laws of the game, not las which applies to the general public. Have a think on that then get back to us.

Magpies midfielder vows to improve

Tiote can't imagine a season like the last one

By Brian Lofrumento | 26th June 2013

 

Newcastle midfielder Cheik Tiote is already looking forward to the new season, promising fans that the club’s players are ready to work to improve. After an impressive few seasons back in the Premier League, the Magpies struggled last year, finding themselves avoiding relegation by just five points at the end of the season.

 

Alan Pardew has quietly put together one of the deepest squads in the league, but will be looking to his players to step up their performances this season to avoid the relegation battle that they were sucked into last season. Tiote, a tenacious midfielder who has attracted attention from bigger clubs in the past, is certain that the players will hit preseason training hard in a bid to improve.

 

No European distractions

Tiote pointed towards the strains of the Europa League when remembering last season’s struggles, so fans will at least be able to take solace in the fact that Pardew and his side won’t be distracted by European competition this season.

 

“Last season was not the best for Newcastle,” he told Newcastle’s official website. “It was a hard season in the Europa League and the Premier League but we’ve had some time off to rest now.

 

“It was really difficult for all the team but when you see the season, the most important thing was just to stay in the Premer League.

 

“That’s what we did and now we need to prepare and be ready for the next season.

 

“When we look at last season, we cannot imagine to have the same season as this next year so I think it will be better.”

 

Newcastle open their new Premier League campaign against the new look Manchester City before playing host to West Ham United and Fulham. Supporters will be expecting at least six points from the club’s opening three fixtures, which would lay a foundation for a solid run in the top half of the table.
