BrettNUFC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They thoroughly deserved to beat us when they won 3-0. They did but couldn't help but feel had Cisse's goal had stood, they would have crumbled. Can't take anything away from their strikes though, they've scored some excellent goals in the last two tbf to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was their 3rd offside or did I imagine that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I dread to think what'll happen if we lose this. For the first time ever, secretly hoping we do lose in the desperate hope that defeat to the scum, following another shite transfer window, might break the apathy and get large numbers of "fans" protesting against Fat Ash and his cronies. I see the twisted logic but, a) we won't get rid of Ashley and his cronies b) there won't be any protests c) at the first sight of those red and white abominations contaminating our pitch, all the theory and dastardly plans will go out the window.

geordie_b Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Really hope they wear their change strip, sick of not being able to tell the difference between the two teams in derby games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was their 3rd offside or did I imagine that? They all went in from miles out so it'd be unlikely, can't remember like and I've never watched it back. Absolute chalk and cheese to how I feel about this match compared to last season, hopefully the result will follow suit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't want to check. I'm not sure how to feel about it. Felt a bit better before Remy got that red put it that way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but I would trade another home defeat by the scum for 20 or 30,000 Geordies screaming for Ashley to fuck off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Simply cannot see how we'll win. They're in good form, 2 losses in the last 13 games, a vital win against Stoke which moved them out of the bottom 3 and of course that Semi will have them bouyed on confidence. Not only have they got a relegation battle to motivate them, but failure to perform in a big game like the Derby may see the players that do play, less likely to feature in the final, especially given their massive squad. Furthermore they're going to be massively boosted by new signings, players making their debut's and players looking to keep their place in the team. This goes without even mentioning the fact that Poyet has tactically bummed Pardew in the face on his last 3 occasions with an even weaker sides. We've not looked nearly as good in recent weeks, take West Ham out of the picture when the man we have just sold absolutely bossed it and I dare say we've looked particularly poor since the turn of the year. Couple this with the fact that our three main goal threats this season are not available (Gouf, Cabaye, Remy) and their replacements, or the replacements that Pardew will pick hardly fill you with confidence. Shola is going to get eaten alive by the inform Brown, at least it'll put to bed the nonesense that he only comes good in derbies. The final nail in the coffin will be the fact that Pardew has absolutely no idea how to motivate his players for these games, whether it be the attitude of some of the players, the lack of understanding that was drilled into previous squads by the likes of Nolan and Barton (who were worth their weight in gold for these types f games) or just general fear by our lot, as it stands the side and Pardews record in these derbies have been horrendous. Can't see that selling our best player and not even attempting to seriously replace him or achieve absolutely anything this season will have a positive effect on our side. All in all, I dont think that I've ever been more sure of a derby day defeat than this one, which speaks fucking volumes about this stupid club given the fact that on the face of it, we're playing 17th place Sunderland at home.

Ste Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm not feeling confident but do think this is a score draw. We're not suddenly awful and they're not suddenly good. They've picked up points recently but I think the pressure is on them, let's see how they deal with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 In line with the "roller coaster" that is following this mad house I fully expect to have lost another blue chip player by 11pm tonight without signing anyone & go on to smash the Albanians tomorrow leaving us both utterly bewildered & exhilarated in equal measure.

Makes sense - as the majority of the idiots causing the trouble last time round didn't actually go to the game. I think they arrested 6 match goers.

oldtype Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Pardew tends to pull a good win out of somewhere whenever the anti-club sentiment is about to go nuclear. Maybe it will work this time too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
