Newcastle United 1 - 0 Fulham FC - FT - Post match relief from page 45! :D


Recommended Posts

Those scenes at the end man, unreal. Sounds slightly cliched but that has always been the difference between this group of players and the lot that went down in 09. They clearly care so much and it is evident with their application and desire not to give in. Happy to see Pardew showing it in such extravagant fashion, I'm not his biggest fan but very nice to see a manager who has no prior connection with the club or the area build a connection and a love for the place. Hopefully now we can push on a little and enjoy the last few weeks of the season whatever happens in Europe.

It's so much easier watching it later than at the time.  The goal was a lot better than I first thought and I hadn't seen much of the celebrations from Cisse and Pardew.  The celebrations are what football is all about and it's great to see how much that goal and the win meant.

Why they all ignoring that blatant handball?

 

Always with us.

 

Almost making excuses for it, "did he raise his arm". "erm, well... a decision hasn't been given" and that's it :lol:

I hope someone didn't actually nick his keys, like.

 

When he jumps the barrier i think you see something fly up, in the right of the vid.

Knew Marveaux was down obviously but had no idea Cabaye was struggling too. That whole sequence before and after the goal is class.

 

I could see them both down but didn't know which one had got up to get the assist because so much was going on.

opposite for me, i'd saw cabaye go down after playing keepy up and getting a shot blocked, went down, got up, went back down. didn't know marveaux went down till reading on here.

Was pretty annoyed with Marveaux like, sitting on the deck like that is just asking for the ref to stop the game, which we just didn't need. Fortunately the ref ignored him and we scored but just hobble out of the way man!

 

Strange game really, Fulham kept the ball for minutes at a time in some passages of play but they rarely looked like scoring. Berbatov is ridiculously good, as is Ruiz. They're a bit of a conundrum though, they just look like they can't be arsed to bust a gut to win. Jol is perfect for them, no pressure, go out and play your football, organised back 4...they should probably do better if anything. And they're all wiley old shits who know exactly what they're doing. But enough about them..

 

Marveaux & Jonas the pick of the bunch for me today. Jonas was pretty faultless at left back and carried the ball forward well like the Jonas of 2008 at times, whilst Marveaux was making things happen. He's so good at finding the space in between the lines, Cabaye and him link up well in such instances and if Cisse had been a bit more on his game we could have been a lot more comfortable. Gouffran looked in the mood when playing through the middle but the re-shuffle following Santon's injury disrupted him as he was back on the left. Still decent though.

 

Simpson was alright, he'd be decent back up I suppose but Debuchy would have had a field day today as there was ample opportunity to get forward down the right, but Simpson's end product is nowhere near as good. Taylor & Mbiwa were ok too, Mbiwa's block on Ruiz's chance was pretty impressive. Anita is still a mystery, him & Cabaye isn't going to work in the middle I don't think but he's obviously a talented footballer, maybe he'd be better in a 3. He's a decent attacking right back but not the best defensively.

 

So we've stole another 3 points, I think you have to credit Pardew today for some positive changes which paid dividends in the end. The squad are dying on their feet though, we need to get through these next 2 games, and if we somehow overturn the deficit on Thursday and win next Sunday you may as well send the bairns to the Hawthornes as I feel we're at a tipping point now

Unusually poetic report from Martin Hardy in the Independent:

 

When the moment came, when drama engulfed a region, Alan Pardew ran. An explosion of energy took place in the body of Newcastle’s manager as Papiss Cissé, three minutes into injury time, weaved late magic, and meant he had to move, quickly. So he ran. He ran with the wild abandon of a happy child, arms outstretched, screaming in relief, over an advertising hoarding and into the arms of supporters who were  delirious. Not happy, delirious. He was engulfed, and he did not move.

 

Further down the line, in a corner of St James’ Park, Cissé also ran, jumped a barrier and hugged a man, and then another man, and then more men. Moussa Sissoko, from Le Blanc-Mesnil on the outskirts of Paris, raced to join him, as did Adam Campbell, from North Shields. Sylvain Marveaux lay prone in the penalty area with cramp. Yohan Cabaye limped to join the celebrations that were everywhere you looked after whacking his foot in a tackle. In the stands, energy crackled like lightning, a roar from the well of the stomachs of 51,000 Geordies, creating a cacophony of noise.

 

This is what relief looks and sounds like. Chaos reigned around the Newcastle dugout. Clenched fists. Roars. Hugs that squeeze the life out of you. High fives. Kisses. Probably. That was from the staff. Pardew was dragged from the crowd by a steward, like a molested rock star, tucking his shirt into his pants. Two more stewards were ushering Sissoko, Campbell and Cissé back from the hearts of supporters. Cissé stopped when he made the pitch and looked to the stands in wonderment, at what, who knows? His goal, which was excellent? The fact it was the third home game running he has won in injury time? Or at the ferocity of the reaction?
