Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I predict we will be leading 2-1 up to 75 mins when AP will make the crazy changes again resulting in a 2-3 win for Chelski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 God a result here would absolutely make my weekend, I'm just braced for the predictable result. We could start looking up again instead of down too Big ask but Stoke are 10th atm and if they lose and we win we are 3 points behind them. Not going to take anything for granted though as it will be a tough game what ever you slice it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Demba Ba interview: I loved playing for Newcastle, but now they're just another opponent Chelsea's newest striker is proud of his achievements for the Geordies but says his return is "only another game, three points, nothing more than that” The North-East furies may be unleashed on Demba Ba this weekend. But the Senegalese striker will simply not be blown off course. Less than a month after his move to Chelsea, Ba returns to Newcastle on Saturday, aware that he will not be the most popular man in St James’ Park. None of it matters, not a jot. For Ba, moving to Chelsea was not a choice - it was an obligation. “Newcastle is going to be a big game for me but I won’t let the occasion go overboard,” promised Ba, already a popular figure in SW6 after scoring three times for the Blues in his first four starts. “Whenever you join a club you look at the schedule to see when you can play the team you left. So I knew straightaway it would be coming fast for me to go back to St James’ Park. “But that’s not the most important thing. At the end of the day, it’s only another game, three points, nothing more than that.” Ba scored 29 goals in just 57 appearances for the Toon, not a bad return for a free signing from relegated West Ham. It ensures he goes back with his head held high. “I’m proud of what I did there, of course I am,” added Ba, who has 16 goals in total this season, 14 in the league. “I did some good things there, no question about that, and from the first day to the last one I gave everything. “The fans gave me 100 per cent from day one to the last day but I gave them the same back, 100 per cent. “But this is life in football, from one day to another you can exchange and it is part of the job. “Now I am at Chelsea, the next level. When you play, it’s to win, to win trophies. That is what it is all about and what is in my mind. “You know when you go to a club and you are a striker, that the people expect you to score some goals. That’s what I’m trying to do, every game. The players I’m playing with make it easier. They make football look easy, which helps me to do my job. “The thing I expect from myself, when I play, is to score, in every game. If I don’t, then it happens. But when you start a game, if you are a striker, you need to score. Don’t get me wrong. I am not playing for myself, for me. I’m doing it for the team and to win the games. That is what we are here for. “But even if we don’t win anything this season, sitting here today, I know I made the right choice to come here - and you know I’ve made the right choice because of everything the club is about. “When you have the chance to play for Chelsea, you have to take it. You know you are going to win things here. That’s what the club means - it’s a guarantee.” There have not been too many guarantees at Chelsea over recent weeks - Rafa Benitez revealing the European champions' dressing room was left shocked by the fateful last few minutes at Reading on Wednesday when a nailed-on victory became a draw. Ba, though, recognised a familiar pattern - one he went through at his previous club as well. “I was there for 18 months and I’m still very surprised at their position,” he added. “But what happened at Newcastle, where you’re dominating games and winning and all of a sudden you concede a goal and it all changes, has happened since I came here as well. “It’s not a lack of confidence but football is never finished until the last whistle. I was on the bench and after 75 minutes I was watching Reading and thinking, ‘These guys are done; they don’t even think they’re going to come back’. “You could see the body language of the players but all of a sudden we brought them back in the game. As soon as they scored they knew they had a big chance to come back. “Now we have to push on, to try to win everything we can win. You can be sure that’s what we will do. “Chelsea is a club which should be in the Champions League every season, which should finish in the top four every season, should be in the title race. This is the focus of everyone, to finish on top.” Nobody can doubt Ba’s focus. Nothing today will deflect him away from it. Demba Ba has scored 14 League goals this season wearing the adidas adiZero F50, the top scoring boot in the Premier League. All four of the league’s top-scoring strikers wear adidas boots.

Chicken Dancer Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I personally won't boo, nor will I applaud. However, I can't seem to find the difference between this and Andy Carroll? Aye, perhaps we were braced for Ba's departure but at the end of the day both done well for the club yet people had no qualms hammering Carroll. I probably am answering my own query here but I suppose him being a local lad didn't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 2-1 win for the toon, their keeper to get sent off giving us a penalty, Ba having to go in nets for it for some reason. That's all I ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Earlier I was thinking we're gonna get bummed but I'm coming round to the idea that we might just give these cockney cunts a game.
