Mr. Snrub Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 can anyone remember when sol campbell slid to keep the ball in, stood up, put a great cross in and shearer bulleted the header in? was amazing, the day england won the world cup if i remember rightly I remember when Domi did something very similar to that aginst Leeds.

Darth Crooks Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I should imagine big sol's 'aerial ability' will be severely impeded seeing as he now moves at the pace of an ent, with the turning ability of blenheim palace. Definitely beat if some of the squads mentioned are to go by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Campbell is like a stronger version of Taylor these days, both are an absolute liability with players running at them, but a team like Stoke shouldn't really cause Sol too many problems.

Guest BooBoo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Sol Campbell is a fucking piggy. Cant wait till we're shot of the flabby waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely beat if some of the squads mentioned are to go by. Shouldn't really affect him, considering he'll be standing around next to Jones or Carew for 1/3 of the game waiting for Rory Delap to launch another long throw in.

Darth Crooks Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Aye he'll be too busy running rings round them i'm sure. Long ball they may be but they are far more mobile than some the key players we may be set to field. Wouldn't neccessarily put Campbell ahead to win aerial challenges against either of them pair anyhow and I by no means rate either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Stoke make me sick. Hope we win massively and someone breaks Delap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Delap should be forced to play with one hand tied behind his back. Either that or the opposing team should be allowed to sledge hammer his fingers before kick off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 If we are planning to play Sol then i hope we give him a runout in the reserves against West Ham on Tuesday, with his lack of football since xmas i think we should give him a 60 minute run out just to get a bit of match sharpness and get rid of some rustiness.

Dave Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 “Joey and Jose are still doubts, but Jonas will be OK,” Pardew told the Gazette. “We’ll wait and see, really. “We’re going to need all our best players available for the run in, and we’re working very hard to ensure we have them. “My gut feeling is that if Joey and Joey aren’t 100 per cent, we won’t risk them.” Meanwhile, Stephen Ireland (thigh) has been ruled out of the fixture, though the on-loan midfielder could make his United debut in the home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 2.

TRon Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I think we'll get beat. The way to beat direct sides like Stoke is with speed and skill. We are short on both and we aren't going to win the physical battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The way Stoke pressed West Ham at the weekend and didn't allow them to settle makes me very worried about this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I was talking to my West Ham mate post their FA Cup loss to Stoke and we were saying what a genuinely awful side they are. Imagine paying to go and watch their "rugby football" ffs, dear oh dear. That said I can see us conceding the usual "lob it into the goal/goal mouth scramble! type goal and going down 1-0. Seriously can't stand sides like Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Stoke are f***ing abysmal, we should be aiming for 3 points with Barton back. The rumor going round is barton is not injured but has said he wont play if he is not given a 3 year contract, Only a rumor but funny how his so called injury occured just after he was offered just 2 year. Make your own mind up on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 So is Barton playing or not? I hope so because without him, Enrique and HBA, we're almost void of any creative impetus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
