madras Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am sure he is fine, he is playing well and we are scoring goals. No need for this 'hope he score xxxx' stuff. aye, the touch seemed back tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Great shift tonight. He will score another goal before the season's over, I'm confident about that but I did say he would get to 19 this season, don't think that'll happen now. If he scores (the winner) on Sunday, the atmosphere will be epic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 His reaction when he hit the bar was class. Was like he didn't know what more he has to do to score but took it in good humour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Another game without scoring, he must be getting a bit narked now like - hitting the bar and he had 2 good shots well saved by Cech - but as long as the team wins it's all pretty much irrelevant, but he deserves a few more for what he's done for us this season. He's getting closer after a barren spell so get your money on a hat-trick against City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 He looked good last night, gutted for him when he hit the bar, and that one that Cech pushed out. Really hope he gets a goal before the end of the season, would be amazing to see that celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Would love for Demba to hit a winner against Man City, clearly needs a goal and will be a big weight of his shoulders, thankfully his pal has made the weight more bearable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 He looked better but not as good as earlier in the season. Still not reading his teamates as well as he used to. Put in a strong performance though. Used his body well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 He was unlucky not to score yesterday and was a nuisance. Getting a little worried about his general play at times though. We move the ball forward pretty quickly when we attack these days and I can't help but feel like he's the last person I want on the ball whilst we're going forward. Maybe it's confidence/form but his passing often seems slow and laboured, and his decision making seems strange at times or takes too long to actually make a decision. Maybe he's thinking about things too much as he needs a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Full thing: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4299494/Demba-Ba-and-Papiss-Cisse-struck-a-pact-to-scare-hell-out-of-Prem.html We promised to each other that we’d plant fear into defenders! Exclusive By PAUL SMITH Published: 05th May 2012 DEMBA BA and Papiss Cisse struck a pact to strike fear into the Premier League and scare the hell out of rival defenders. The God-fearing dynamic duo have duly delivered on that promise much to the delight of the Newcastle fans who are suddenly dreaming of watching the pair take their double act into Europe next season. Although the goals may have mysteriously dried up for Ba, who made a sensational start to the campaign, Cisse’s form has left the fanatical Geordies in wonderland. Ba, who today puts to rest rumours he is planning to quit the club in the summer, said: “The season is developing beyond all our wildest expectations. “Our time has arrived and we have to make sure we make the most of it. “We have a lot of belief in ourselves and even when we have faced difficulties in the league we have shown we have the resilience and mental strength to recover.” Despite the brilliant form of the Senegal pair most critics finally wrote off Newcastle after the disastrous 4-0 defeat against Wigan last weekend left their Champions League aspirations hanging by a thread. But the magnificent 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday has revived their dreams of playing in Europe next season. And that is mainly because of the impact and sensational form of Ba’s strike pal Cisse. He has scored 13 goals in 12 games since joining the club in January but his predatory form is no shock to Ba, who partners the marksman for the Senegal national team. Ba, who has scored 16 goals this season but none since February 5 said: “Honestly, it’s no surprise to me. “He was made for Newcastle. He is an exceptional forward and has made it look so easy making the transition into the Premier League. “On the first day he arrived we promised one another that we would form a partnership that would strike fear into England and the Premier League defences. “And we are keeping our promise. Cisse is scoring goals that even Cristiano Ronaldo would be proud of. “For me, he is the best strike sensation of the season. “I knew we would form a great partnership having played with each other for the Senegal national team. “We are bringing happiness to a lot of people and that in turn makes us very happy — we can play with a smile on our faces. “We almost have a telepathic understanding but we can communicate with words and gestures from our own country that nobody else understands and that is a small advantage over rival defenders.” Although Cisse’s arrival has coincided with something of an unexpected goal drought for Ba, he insists it has not played on his mind too much. The 26-year-old added: “I have said to the Newcastle supporters that I have not forgotten how to score goals and the next one will arrive with a huge celebration. “I accept my spell of bad luck is unusual but I haven’t become obsessed with it. “I know I will score eventually and they could come in any of the two remaining games. “I would love to bring it to an end against Manchester City today.” The biggest mystery surrounds Ba’s future and whether he will be around next season if Alan Pardew and his Newcastle side do qualify for the Champions League. But today he emphatically puts those rumours to rest insisting he wants to stay. He revealed: “Nobody has said they are not counting on being without me next season. “The rumours about me leaving have no basis. “I have never said I want to leave. I love the Newcastle fans. “Since the day I arrived they have shown me nothing but support, so why would I walk away from that?” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Can you imagine if he stayed and there was a stretch where both were on top form like we've seen at different times this season? Would be ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
