We have this saying in Paraguay … I don’t know how to translate it to English perfectly.

 

Quiero contar contigo.

 

“I want to count with you,” is basically it. But what it means is: I want to rely on you, and I want to do this together.

 

It’s like a vote of confidence.

:aww:

The Sunday sun have cleverly used three different translations of this in their coverage of the game - two different ones on the same page. Amazing journalism again from the north-east's finest scribes

the disdain for the local rags has been the only constant on N-O for 15 years and it still gets me :lol: :lol:

Ben Arfa and Tiote full debuts need to be in there.

 

Everton game wasn't Ben Arfa's debut I dern't think?

 

Came off bench v Blackpool but Almiron did the same at Wolves.

Who was it?  Dowd?

 

EDIT - It was Martin Atkinson who was a consistent shithouse when refereeing us iirc.  Dowd gave us a few penalties against the mackems, also had that majestic velociraptor stride.

Almiron - If he is to be a success on Tyneside he must improve his suspect finishing, trying to chip the Huddersfield ‘keeper instead of smashing it into the back of the net when one on one is the kind of cocky arrogance that does nothing to dispel the fancy dan image of foreigners who clubs like United splash millions on at the expense of home grown players. Alan Shearer, the lion of Gosforth, would have smashed that into the back of the net, but than the former United number 9 always showed his opponent respect. Despite Almiron having other chances, failing to score on his debut doesn’t bode well for the new man which United will rightly expect to justify the millions they spent to bring him here with better finishing and some humility. 4/10

Good question.

 

not sure i can remember a performance/debut for a long time that looked to transform the way the team played so much...it wasn't a great individual debut in the sense he didn't score or assist but his performance changed the way others around him were playing and how well they performed
