Here man, this bloke is canny good like isn't he? Don't think a shift at work has ever gone this quick and I reckon the amount of talking people are doing about the goal is the reason. All the Mackems keep telling me he'll be off in the Summer though, which is a shame.

There’s been a lot said about the intention (or otherwise) of the shot, but you can clearly tell the way he shapes up just as he’s about to strike that he means it. Reminds me of……

 

Clip of John O'Sheas worst shot ever

Anyone know where this guy is now?

Cisse has started to remind me of Denis Law.

 

Most of you will not have seen Law, but he had this ability to adjust his body and improvise first time shots from balls that would come to him from any direction or height. He was a brilliant improviser, and Cisse has that same ability. Both of them were decent headers of the ball as well.

 

Cisse's slim, wiry physique is also similar to Law's.

7/1 for the first (and last) goal on paddy power.

 

Massive odds for a home game. 15/2 at Chelsea. Mate got 8's.

 

Buying money at the moment. Pile in lads and lasses. £70 on will buy you 19 games at SJP next season.

1. What are your memories of growing up in Senegal? I grew up in Dakar (the capital).

 

It's a thriving city but poor. I started playing football when I was little. We didn't have boots when we were young. 

 

2. How did you end up moving to Europe?

 

I played at the Generation Foot Academy and then with AS Douanes in the Senegal Premier League. I did well enough there to be taken to Metz in 2005. 

 

3. You later played in Germany with Freiburg. What is the difference between the Bundesliga and Premier League?

 

They are not that different. There is maybe more overseas talent in England. 

 

4. Had you heard of Newcastle United? When did you first learn about the club?

 

I knew about them before I left Senegal. They were in the Champions League and the UEFA Cup when I was at Metz.

 

5. How different is Newcastle to other places you have lived?

 

Newcastle is interesting. I like all the bridges along the river.

 

The best thing is how friendly the people are. That's important to me.

 

6. You played in the Tyne-Wear derby. What is your experience of derbies?

 

Stuttgart, Munich and Hoffenheim were closest to Freiburg, so they were rivals, but nothing like Newcastle and Sunderland! 

 

7. Had you been told about the importance of the game against Sunderland?

 

My team-mates drummed into me what it means to the club and supporters. It is the biggest game of the season. 

 

8. Your strike partner Demba Ba has done very well at Newcastle. What are his main strengths?

 

He is strong, has pace, can shoot with both feet, is good in the air. He is great to have on your team.

 

9. The No 9 shirt is very special at Newcastle. Do you understand its importance?

 

Yes, I do. I have been told all about Alan Shearer and all the others. I know how privileged I am to be wearing it.

Anybody else seen his significanse in Ben Arfas improvement in our team? Earlier everybody stood watching him dribble, waiting for him to create magic. But with papiss runs direct forward just helps dragging defences as they have to watch him aswell. Creates loads of space for HBA to run into. Just a thought.

Well by golly it's a damn sound thought. This has made the difference to our season and to the way we play. It's not just Cisse, but also Ba. When defenders are tracking back with those 3 running straight at them they will panic. 4 defenders on 3 attackers, they won't who to double team, as one incisive pass will open them up completely. Simple but deadly from our point of view.

especially when HBA can dribble all four in one stride!  :lol:
