Sir Toon Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Just when you think that you dont really care about the players of today and say you dont feel part of it like the olden days. Things like this happen to prove you wrong. Each loss still hitting you like a stun grenade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 So is it Cheik or Cheick? Seem to recall Cheik in the Premier League players list but basically every media has him as Cheick. Just thought that we should correctly reflect his name in the thread header and such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTom Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 R.I.P Cheick, always seemed like a great guy, such a tragedy to die so young. Will never forget his goal against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Can't believe this, absolutely heart breaking. Him and Ben Arfa two of my favourite NUFC players when they were here. Thanks for some great memories, R.I.P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Cheick Tiote 'had most beautiful smile in football' - McClaren "At Newcastle if [Papiss] Cisse and Cheick were smiling I knew the world was OK," McClaren told BBC 5 live. "He was the kind of player that everyone wants in their team." "I knew him first as a young player at Twente. He was the toughest player I've ever seen. "On the field and in training he was such a competitor. He wanted to win every game, kick every player and win every tackle. "He was a winner. I just can't believe it. "Some days we would have to pull him out of training because he was such a ferocious competitor, such a winner. He was a warrior and could play too. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40167213 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Used to kick the s*** out of Barton in training, IIRC. Sure Dummett said something like "you would receive the ball in training and immediately feel the wind change... you knew Tiote was coming for you" RIP the destroyer.

Stottie Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Really sad to hear this. RIP big Cheick. He did score another screamer, I reckon a better one, but the Man City players moaned enough for it to be disallowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Just seen the clip of Tiote's red card v Sunderland. Colback literally bouncing off him and not even getting close to bringing him down with one of his trademark fouls before Tiote dived in for the tackle. Powerhouse.

Lush Vlad Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 His debut at Everton was so good. Completely bossed the game that day and was the best player on the pitch after Ben Arfa. Loved his playing style. Even if towards the end injuries and what not caught up with him. RIP Cheicky :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
