St. Maximin Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Look I just said I don’t want to see diving. Pretty sure people on here have said it about Miggy, Joelinton and Wilson before and certainly complained about players like Alli and Grealish doing it. I don’t get this sudden change of reaction. Hardly a controversial opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous the way people jump on someone’s back here for having a difference of opinion. I’m sure none of you have ever complained about anyone else diving. Comment was nowt to do with your opinion, It was (clearly) about you picking up on a minor negative despite everything else that went on last night.

There’s nothing wrong with that. I’d already given him loads of praise. I’m sure my comment was pretty minor too in the grand scheme of things.

80 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 From what I saw it looked like an 'entitled to go down' dive. I was shocked it wasn't given, it looked like bread and butter for a Tottenham or Liverpool penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I love Wilson, but comparing him with Ferdinand is like when N-O tried to compare ASM with HBA, you're just forcing me to speak negatively about a player I love by comparing them with some of the best players I've ever seen play for Newcastle. Ferdinand was unbelievable man, he won player of the year in 95/96 and both his seasons rank alongside any of Shearer or Cole's at Newcastle. Not saying it happens on here, but there's definitely a trend at the moment of dismissing first-hand experience as delusional nostalgia like, it's proper nauseating. Usually from the same people who use words and expressions like 'ball' and 'pick up' when they mean football and signing.

aussiemag Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Do we all agree he is the best striker we’ve had since Shearer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 He's just very good at everything. He's pretty quick He's really strong on the ball He can hold it up well He's excellent with his head He's a poacher He will also try the spectacular from time to time (arsenal attempt last year, spurs away, Everton away). He's really good at pressing He can play in a 2 or on his own He's ice cold at one on ones and penalties He's driven to be number 1 (see his competition with Isak) He's an experienced shithouse And he's also fucking gorgeous.

Still my favourite song to sing on the terrace too Wilson certainly had consistency on his side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I always thought Remy was more naturally gifted than Ba/Cisse/Wilson, he was more similar to Isak, graceful across the pitch. His time at the club is largely tainted by the way he arrived and the way he left. That's not to say he was "better" because you've got to actually produce over a period of time. I think Ba and Wilson are the most rounded players. Cisse offered too little aside from his goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellars Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just looked up the numbers and Ba scored 29 in 54 PL appearances in a shit team. Pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Best seasons: Ba: 16 Remy 14 Cisse 13 Pretty damning how shit we were for such a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Remy's was 14 in 26, with injuries, which was pretty excellent return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'd also say that for around 6 months Andy Carroll was outrageous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 My strikers since Shearer list: Ba Wilson Remy Cisse Carroll Martins Ba just edges it for me. I think he was absolutely lethal for that period he was here. Its tight between him and Wilson though, really not much in it. 18 goals is a terrific return.
