Miercoles Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Do you guys think that the clash against Sunderland just after the 2nd leg will somehow lead you to overlook a bit our game? A lot depends on how we do against Fulham on Sunday. If we lose that Pardew might get scared and rest few against you. If we lose, I'll be fucking scared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Legendary Tiger Man Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 By the way, how old is Ameobi? I remember him from Championship Manager 1986/87 or so He's ageless, the everlasting potential, never to be fulfilled. Some sort of Highlander that never cut any head off.

Bruno Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Newcastle started very well, actually impressed me. Not everyday you see a team controlling at Estádio da Luz, even if for 15 min (more or less). Was expecting a much more defensive attitude, looking at your last performances in EL and the very little I know about Alan Pardew. Cissé is quality, Sissoko as well. And Krul, of course. Great goalie. Regarding Benfica, atrocious first 15min in both halves, but we eventually played some football and I believe it was a deserved win in the end. Half-time, game on.

Willow Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'll be at the return leg at St James. Basically what I'm trying to say is that my very presence will be the sole reason our team will be ultra-lifted and super motivated to win this tie. Shola will have this 3-monthly good game and Benfica will be shell-shocked by the mackem slayer. Need to sleep now, had one too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 In other news, Spurs are pretty much out. Yeah, I'm sure they'll be quaking in their boots at the thoughts of winning in... Switzerland. If Bale is out it's a blow, but I imagine they'll still go to Basel and win. Have you seen Basel? They're really good. They were better tactically, worked really hard and broke at speed. A proper good side, was very impressed tonight. I think we might sneak it, but we're likely to be missing Defoe, Lennon, Lloris and Bale, (and Kaboul and Sandro). No width at all. It's going to be a cracking match if tonight is anything to go by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'm now in a part of my life with lots of changes and I just don't have the patience to take care of everything. Let's meet in the future here in Portugal in the summer.

Ketsbaia Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Deflating defeat tonight - it's frustrating to see a gameplan work, only to be undone by two silly mistakes. Make no mistake, Benfica deserved the win but it doesn't necessarily mean they would have. A few players were anonymous tonight but I was impressed with Cisse, Sissoko and Marveaux. Krul had a few nervy moments and could be blamed for the 1st - I personally don't think MYM was at fault. We started off in a non-Pardew way, which made us look threatening and purposeful. Then we had some terrible luck with hitting the post, which turned the game. Santon had a catastrophic moment which may turn out to be pivotal, as well as Taylor repeating his sniper routine. It felt great to be back in a european quarter-final, in a great stadium and against a great european name. Nights like this are what it's all about. We've got the final (probably) one next Thursday at SJP and I reckon the atmosphere will be spectacular. 2-0 can be done, without doubt, and maybe this deficit will force us to loosen the shackles. Maybe we'll play like we should do. With a bit of belief, a bit of quality and a great Geordie crowd behind them, I wouldn't like to bet against us. But we really need to beat Fulham first.

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it that we won only 3 games by more than one goal margin the whole season in all competitions (Bordeaux, Wigan, Soton)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
