Still Not Worthy Of A Thread

[Deuce]

Said with the advantage of hindsight though. There was a very real possibility that Pardew would be sacked right up until they came out and said he'd be back. Nobody knew what the hell was going on.

 

And please, digging up an old post to prove a point is straight out of the Dave handbook.

[Dave]

I never believed Pardew was going, and you can check as many of my old posts on that as you like.

5 out of 12... did it again and got 5 again. Checked up on the answers and there are a few odd ones.

[LRD]

Answers if anyone is interested.

 

 

1-Offside as the attacker has gained an advantage by standing in an offside position

2-The referee chooses the end

3-Ask the team with 11 players to nominate two players who will not take part in the penalty shootout

4-The referee, assistant referees and players

5-Dismiss the player, allowing him to be replaced by a substitute in the starting line-up

6-None of the above

7-Substitution

8-Dismiss the offending player and award a penalty kick as the incident took place in the penalty area

9-Award a corner kick

10-Offside in the centre of the pitch

11-Head the ball

12-6 players

Got 8/12 but surely some of the answers can't be right, Nothing wrong with a good old headed penalty.

Chuffing hell!

 

Knew it was bad and had a pretty big impact on the season but, but... that's ridiculous.

[LRD]

It tells us how much we've missed our players but I'll be more interested to know how many are due to niggling injuries rather than unfortunate leg breaks and such which we have no control over. That would be a good indication as to how good/bad our med staff are.

[Mole_Toonfan]

This too...

 

For Newcastle United who were hoping for another successful campaign the season started badly and didn't seem to get much better. Losing Ryan Taylor in August to an ACL injury was a blow , while boss Alan Pardew will point to the absence of their creative spark in Hatam Ben Arfa (140 days) and Yohan Cabaye (62 days) as the reasoning to why the Geordies were amongst the leagues lowest scorers. Combine that with Steven Taylor (77 days), Fabricio Coloccini (114 days) and Tim Krul (116 days) and its easy to see why only three teams conceded more. One area of concern though will be the amount of hamstring injuries Newcastle suffered by far the worst in the Premier League, more than 50% against the next team on our list. Of the 23 muscular injuries this year, 13 were afforded to the hamstring, 410 days out of a total 683 - that's over 60%!
