  1. Yes, lets give him this season, an injury free season hopefully!

     

    Robert's goals used to be something, and those freekicks! Miss those. Obviously considering how he is playing these days we're all singing praises of HBA, and I've very rarely seen a footballer as naturally talented as him in this league, and definitely not at this club. However some of the moments provided by those two were magic. Still cant believe the goal Robert scored against Fulham :lol:

     

    I remember the 2 goals he scored in a same game against Spurs. Both outrageous! I remember when he pulled the trigger for the second thinking "what the fuck is he doing?" and it flew in!

  2. Really impressed with Sameobi. Made his brother look woeful (but then again, he doesn't need an excuse to look woeful) Lackluster keeping at the end ruined the general overall good game. Cisse had some lovely touches and good to see Abeid come into the frame.

  3. You're not getting the point I was making. It's fine to be sceptical, but you must apply that to both sides of the coin. Doubt stories stating that he's staying until he re-signs but you must also doubt stories stating that he's leaving until he goes.

     

    Otherwise you're wandering down a path where there be monsters.

     

    Fair point and well made. Wavelength now well and truly tuned in and I agree.

  4. I'm just saying what I read and I believe it once he signs. Same with any transfer or contract extension. On balance, i believe he will stay but can anyone be sure until he puts pen to paper?

  5. ESPN now reporting Ba is happy at Newcastle and talks are happening with the club over a new contract. I always take these reports with a pinch of salt until a dotted line is signed.

  6. I must be in the minority then. His close control in the wider position hasn't been great. He gives the ball away way too easily and he fumbles with it. We all know he can score and has been unlucky with the woodwork and some outstanding saves but aside from that, i am not seeing what you guys are seeing. He is an absolute asset in that central role granted, but not sold otherwise.

  7. When Ba was playing in Cisse's position, he was deadly but he won't be playing there again unless we either sell Cisse or he gets injured. Playing to the left of Cisse just didn't work for Ba. His touch and control was awkward and cumbersome and he lacked creativity. If we continue to play him in this position, I for one wouldn't mind him departing, as long as we replace him with someone who can play in that position.

  8. I see the new season review DVD is due for release shortly as advertised on .com. Is this only on DVD or is there a Blu-ray version of these normally available? Football in SD isn't quite the same. This season needs to be in HD!

  9. Papers linking him with Inter and Juve today.

     

    He has been on French TV today saying he doesn't want to leave Newcastle, he loves it here and likes the direction the club is going in. The rumours are bound to start but I believe he will stay.

  10. I just don't understand why if Chelsea win the CL, then 4th place is Europa. When Liverpool won in 2005, they didn't get 4th that season. Everton did, but Liverpool were allowed back into the CL to defend their crown and Everton still got their CL qualifier (which they duly fucked up). Why is it different this time?
