TRon Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Totally uninspiring for much of the game - these 2 sides will be vying for the title of closest to watching paint drying this season. It is clear that the buying and organization of the side(not much of either down to Pardew)is designed to prevent many goals being conceded but its also clear that the formation will struggle to score themselves. Apart from the fact that none of the forwards looks to be a regular scorer in the way that Remy did last season, the build-up is so slow and cautious that even a defence as limited as Villas didn't have much difficulty in getting back to cover before attacks reached their penalty area...this has been a regular feature - and failing - of Pardew sides. Janmaat looks to be a very promising RB and will be a real asset if he continues to show this sort of form - as has been said, he has settled far quicker than Debuchy did and he is still young for a defender. de Jong obviously has talent and produced the only goal-worthy effort in the second half which could have snatched the 3 points but it would have been a bit of a travesty. Very little else to comment on other than to say that the game highlighted exactly what most fans with half a brain knew anyway ; Williamson is NOT a PL CB, and we lack a decent striker. That's it....long hard season lies ahead if we go past the deadline with this forward line. I said the same thing in the match thread yesterday. People will be fooled into thinking we are now passing it around, but it's done so slowly and without purpose there's no chance of it leading to a goal.

midds Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 We seem to score goals by accident. There's no rhyme or reason to our goals they just sort of happen randomly without pattern or consistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What a depressing day yesterday was, Ignoring the match because thats been covered but it looked to me in the pub before the match that our young away followers are getting worse. Be thankful we've still got any. If what I've witnessed around the coast these past few weeks reflects young support loyalty, many of them have opted for Man City or Chelsea!

Many will say it's arguable that its understandable young bairns are swayed this way - especially the state of the club atm - but I still can't understand it. Not once when I was a young did I ever think about supporting anybody else. Gloryhunting bairns are little shites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 We seem to score goals by accident. There's no rhyme or reason to our goals they just sort of happen randomly without pattern or consistency. Been saying this for years. All of a sudden, football breaks out. About four times a season.

geordiesteve710 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It's really annoying, i dread to think the image they give our club. Stuff like pissing about on the train, theres some people there that will see that and assume thats how Newcastle fans are, I know it doesnt mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but im proud of our club and area and it actually bothers me that people would think of us all like that. The teenage smokebomb brigade were indeed out in force again. Stood outside the Doug Ellis stand before the match, a group of about 6 or 7 lads walked past, arms up in the air, giving it 'we support our local team.' Then it became obvious they were following and staring at group of about 15 mainly young orientals, all decked out in villa scarves with bags from the club shop etc. They went out of their way to follow this group past the away end to the entrance they were using halfway along the stand. I felt physically sick and it put me in a bad mood for the match. They may have been a group of tourists, might have been born and bred locals, having lived in Birmingham myself for a few years I know how many overseas students particularly from the far east the city attracts. Ironically, they may well have been 'supporting their local team.' Regardless though nobody deserves to take shit like that from a group of knobheads just because of their ethnicity. Thing is, none of them looked particularly hard or hooligany. They all looked scrawny and soft as shite, try that shit at other grounds and they will all get the clip they richly deserve.

nemtizz Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Urgh. That's f***ing grim. Almost as bad was the usual 'your support is f***ing s***' a couple minutes after they joined us with the 17th minute applause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work with one of the 'smoke bomb brigade' was giving it the big'un at work one day saying he set one off when we beat them 2-1 last season. Wanted to slap the chavy little cunt.

Fugazi Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 When I was down at Huddersfield pre-season they were singing "Shola from Fenham shot one down" not long after the 17th-minute applause. Fucking idiots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
