Was sure the title had to be a wind up of him doing something stupid :'(

 

Hope we retire the number 24, It's his and his alone.

I was thinking this, atleast temporarily, however no one really uses that number so maybe we should just retire it for him?

This might have been mentioned already, I'm sure he scored three absolute screamers here but the other two were disallowed for offside - one was (outrageously) against Man City when Gouffran was in front of Hart, was there another where the same thing happened or have I made that up?

Aye, he did, both disallowed for other players being in an offside position after the opposition keeper had complained.

Whilst of course not the right time to speculate, but I cant stop wondering if whatever the cause of this was had anything to do with why he failed medicals before leaving us.

 

I just find it incredibly hard to accept that someone of his age and fitness and just collapse and die whilst at work.

Sincere words from Pardew

 

Former Newcastle manager Alan Pardew issued a heartfelt message of sympathy following the death of his former player Cheick Tiote on Monday.

 

The Ivory Coast international died at the age of 30 after collapsing during training with his club Beijing Enterprises on Monday, and the coach who worked with Tiote throughout his four-year stint as Newcastle manager offering these words of shock following the news.

 

"I'm devastated to hear the news about my former player and friend Cheick Tiote," Pardew said. "From the moment I arrived at Newcastle, Cheick was a wonderful presence around the dressing room and his performances on the field often defied belief.

 

"There were days when he must have covered every blade of grass on a football field and it didn't surprise me that clubs like Manchester United were being linked with attempts to sign him.

 

"None of us will ever forget that incredible day when our Newcastle team came from 4-0 down to draw an unbelievable Premier League game against Arsenal, with Cheick's incredible goal in the final moments of that game one of the iconic moments in Premier League history.

 

"I loved him. He was everything that you want in a Newcastle player. He had the quality, and of course you'll never underestimate the fact that he wants to win.

 

"I just loved that he was a winner. It can overcome so many obstacles as a footballer. Young players could take a big leaf out of his book in terms of how he approaches training and games and he was a special young man.

 

"To hear the news that he has passed away at the age of 30 breaks my heart and my sympathies go out to all his family and friends who will be devastated by this news.

 

"Life if not fair sometime and I will remember Cheick Tiote as a giant of a midfielder who I loved to managed. Rest in peace my friend."
