Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Sat 24th August @ 3pm (not on TV)


Recommended Posts

Anyway, happy with that team bar Shola.

 

Don't get this comment at all. Not picking on you per se, as plenty have said the same. But to me it's the same as saying "I'm happy with my general health, apart from my head's been cut off".

 

It's either a good team or a bad team. Putting that cretin in and playing 4-4-2 makes it a bad team. Marveaux on the left wing will not work as he's not a left winger. Ben Arfa on the right wing will not work as he'll have too much tracking back to do and can't cross with his right very well which is a winger's job, and he'll be too deep to get in the box as often as under a 4-3-3 to threaten the goal himself.

Unbelievable that Jonas, Tiote and Taylor have been felled in one clean swoop!

 

Yanga-Mbiwa, Anita and Marveaux really have to be outstanding today, to banish those three to the abyss for a good while. Really hopeful of this!

 

I would have liked their chances better if they had Gouffran in there two, as opposed to having to play in a ten man team, with the Shola the sloth.

It is disgusting that Shola Ameobi is still starting premier league games for Newcastle United, the blame for which must be attributed to both Ashley and Pardew (not the Fenham Eusebio's fault that he's selected and is by all accounts a thoroughly lovely, polite chap).

Baines and Fellaini in Evertons lineup. No heads turned there. Cabaye not playing just feels so unprofessional.

 

Someone needs to call the c*** out about this in the post-match press conference.

 

"So Alan, with Baines and Fellaini playing for Everton after they rejected bids and said they didn't want to sell them and actually seemed like they meant it, is Cabaye not playing just further proof that you're protecting him from injury to ensure you can sell him after hawking him round so blatantly all summer?"

 

Make the fucker squirm.

Neither of those have been wanting out all summer though although Fellaini probably wants to now.

He possibly doesn't. But I'd still grill him. If he doesn't have a choice then he can quite easily say that. "No, it's Mike Ashley's decision. I'd love to keep Cabaye and have played him today.". Simple. Needs to grow some balls and start telling the truth or else be called out on his bullshit that he peddles.

and then he gets sacked. Would you do that in the same situation when trying to protect your job which you enjoy?

Journalists give managers such easy rides and never ask them any important, searching questions.

 

Q2 from me would be "With injuries almost forcing you to play a good team in a good formation, how did you mess it up and pick Shola after more than a decade of underperformance form him?"

 

I'd probably get banned from the ground mind. :D

He can lie if he wants. That's up to him.

 

My problem is that the post-match questions are always so fucking limp and toothless. Managers who continue to underperform should be grilled properly and when there's an elephant in the corner of the room like the Cabaye situation it's ridiculous that its ignored.

the local journo's know the story, its a decision from above everyone knows it and I fail to see what dragging a guy who has nothing to do with the decision in the slightest achieves beyond crude satisfaction at making things more difficult for a guy already dealing with a shitload of problems
