Benwell Lad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It may be my imagination, but knee-jerk booing whenever any home team doesn't win a game that the fans expect them to win seems to have become quite widespread. Every game is analysed in a lot more critical detail by the media these days, and the idea seems to have developed that a disappointing result must be somebody's fault. The reality is that most teams at this level are fairly evenly matched, and luck plays a significant part in how things fall. Having watched the 60 minute highlights on Sky, it did look like we had some opportunities. The time to worry for the future is when we don't create chances in a match, not when we don't score. I still think that Man Utd away is the only game in which the opposition have looked better than us and that has to be quite encouraging. I also think that if Ben Arfa had played in games like Saturday we would probably have won them. I'd tend to agree with that. Man U was the only game where we've been outclassed. Arsenal can play football of which we're not capable, but we set them problems. We were unlucky not to get something at Man City. Really, apart from the big two, we look capable of picking up points anywhere. We too would have rolled over the Chelsea that the mackems came up against on Sunday. Doubt we'll see them again though. I put money on Sundlund to win after seeing the Chelsea line up and I'd normally never do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I would much prefer Ranger up front tbh, because he contributes a lot more to the game and brings in other players. He might not score but he might well set up Carroll or Nolan. Lovencrap is only a goal poacher who scores very few goals, but at the moment it's probably better that he starts as I can see Ranger getting stick if he doesn't score goals.

BeloEmre Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have no idea where to post this, but lets go... Chelsea's Alex out for 6-8 weeks. Terry could be out, Essien is suspended and Lampard is injured. Lets hope Ivanovic recieves his 5th yellow card against Chelsea, and i'm starting to hope for a point or three...

There was a good article in the Sunday Times about Barton this week where Ron Liddle (usually a wanker) pointed out that on MOTD, because it was Barton no one minded when Henri Camara engaged in 90 mins of physical assaults on our player. Shearer could have put his Newcastle hat on and quietly said it was out of order, but he sat there giggling with the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
