Skeletor Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Chelsea gained class? Man City have all the c***s of the game? Are you lot forgetting Messrs Cole, Terry and Drogba are still all at Stamford Bridge? 3 of the most classless individuals you will ever likely see on the football field. I meant their fans more than the players. When we beat them in the Carling Cup most of them were very gracious in defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I hate Chelsea and what they did but at least they bought some genuinely great players (and some of their best were already there). City have just spent silly money on mediocrity, often so that others couldn't have them. Joleon Lescott is like the third most expensive defender in history or something, it's pathetic.

Guest BooBoo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 City fans are some of the most odious charvas around. They have that mackem esque chip on their shoulder that comes from having a more illustrious famous club constantly putting you in the shadow. I pissed my pants at the amount of times, Man Utd popped in last minute winners v them last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Aye, he's nee Warren Barton like. Wonder what teams thought of Newcastle back in the 90s spending the money we did (which was a canny amount for those times) to challenge for the league.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm not suggesting that SJH is a Sugardaddy, certainly not by modern standards, but for a club in the early 90s, through to late 90s, we were spending money other clubs couldn't. £4m = World's most expensive Defender £15m = British Transfer Record Was just interested in knowing what other fans might have thought (probably wrong place to find out on a Newcastle forum!). Certainly we played exciting football, and you often hear that other fans claimed we were their 'second team'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 On the pitch, yes. Or at least he used to be. It's an unfortunate by-product of a win-at-all-costs mentality. The real cunts in football are the De Jongs, and the bastards who cheat their fans by sitting back, giving minimal effort and collecting a paycheck.

ChezGiven Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/10/05/manchester-city-2-1-newcastle/ Interesting read. The most obvious tactical element was Newcastles crazily high defensive line, combined with little pressure on the Manchester City man with the ball. This meant City had a fairly simple approach of hitting balls over the defence for the forward three players to run onto. Both James Milner and Gareth Barry got free on the left hand side in this fashion, and it was amazing that Chris Hughton didnt tell his defence to drop deeper early on. Shola Ameobis hold-up play was disappointing, although he probably should have had a penalty when he was tripped by Lescott in the corner of the box. One suspects that Newcastle’s approach of playing a high defensive line was the exact opposite to the optimum strategy against City – they rely on Tevez dropping deep and other players exploiting space in behind, so denying them that space seems to make more sense. Certainly, when Newcastle dropped deeper, City were less of a threat. What utter shite. Agreed, absolute tripe from some spotty FM player by the sounds of things.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The high defensive line did seem risky though, didn't it... they could well have scored 2 or 3 when they broke in behind us. In the end it worked, but it was relying on some impressive individual defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Haven't we played a high defensive line all season? I can remember people saying Waddle was going spacker mental about it during the Villa game. It seems to be working quite well at the moment , we've conceded few goals by allowing players in behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hughton and Calderwood seem to be spot on with the defensive side of things. It's mostly individual mistakes/moments of brilliance from the opposition and lapses of concentration that have cost us goals. It's going forward where our real problems are.

NG32 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Our last two home games, espcially the one at home to Stone was dreadful. COme on that was a massive 3 pts dropped. More urgency please and drop Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Aye I think Blackpool was just one of those games, Stoke though was drab. Must get all 6 points from the next two home games. If we beat West Ham after Wigan then a draw against Sunderland would become an acceptable result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
