Ginola Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just got in from footy so missed all of this. How did we play? Hard to say for definite, wasn't on telly anywhere. But from the off it sounds like we had a lot of possession and created tons of chances. Hit the bar, at least two cleared off the line and 13 corners. Their goal was against the run of play so a win - though fortunate the way it came right at the end - sounds like a fair result. Cheers Good to hear that we were the better side, and battled back from a goal down like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Glad to get these fuckers back after the farce in the League Cup game. 1st time we've won in the 3rd round (without replay) since 2006. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 as much as i'd rather be in me seat watching, or watching on telly...and as much as i complain about having to listen to it on the radio....it gets the emotions going that bit more, at one point them commentators made it sound exciting when williamson passed to colo in our own half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We're in trouble without a striker, like. Hope today encourages them, but it won't. we've scored 2 today and created chances. I'd be more concerned if we weren't creating cos where Ba might score with his only chance, the likes of Best and Shola probably need 3 chances to get one goal. Pardew says Best is the best finisher at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We're in trouble without a striker, like. Hope today encourages them, but it won't. Jonas and Ben Arfa swapping wings will create chances for them though, I think Jonas could do it from the right. Pardew just needs to swallow his pride and make it happen. Shola and Best up front is no good, though. It was plain to see against QPR. We need a striker so badly it's ludicrous. I agree, just trying to look for the best case scenario with what we've got. We haven't carried a significant threat from out wide all season, add that and Best/Shola might be able to find more space in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Is this the first time we came from behind at half time to win a game since 2006 when we beat reading 3:2? Spurs 4-1 under Keegan IIRC. Championship against Plymouth or Peterborough iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 What time are these highlights by the way? 10:45. Expect our highlights to be taken on a handheld camera and amounting to no more than 2 minutes of footage, with no replays of goals (seriously, it's ITV ffs). i wouldn't be suprised if that happens, for all we were an all premiership game its FA cup 3rd round day and they will focus on the games that had the potential upsets so expect us to be on near the back after the likes of Macclesfield V Bolton, MKDons v QPR etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know man it's the downside of the Fa cup. Absolutely no tv coverage and the highlights are always crap. Shame as well as it sounds like the first game where Ben Arfa was back to his old self so would have liked to of seen his whole performance aswell as this goal. Ah well guess i need to earn abit more money and travel up to see more games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We conceded a very sloppy goal. Whilst we were always the better team, w looked lethargic and disinterested in the first half. Obertan coming off transformed us. Ameobi was good, and Ben Arfa went from looking awful to terrorising them on the wing. In the end, we had tons of chances and they had very few. Deserved result. They started time wasting at 37 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Glad we put these fuckers away. Abeid sounds very promising. Sounded like it was going to pan out as a very frustrating ending but all that pressure finally paid off. Get in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
