acrossthepond 707 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Great win, always wonderful to send them home with nothing to show for it. Owen was incredible today, thought Martins could've shown a bit more effort and the defence was outstanding as well, especially Butt and Enrique. Geremi was the low point, not sure what he was up to for most of the match. But outstanding thrashing again, howay lads! Cant argue with the first part but Geremi put in decent crosses all game long. Maybe his crosses were ok like but his short passing was atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Won 2-0 without ever really getting out of second gear, i'll take that against the mackems happilly. Butt was everywhere for 90 mins and did a great job, fullbacks impressed as ever and Owen did a great job. I couldn't believe the mackems though, from what i'd read they were supposed to play a bit of football, but they were a bunch of dirty bastards who could do nowt except hoof the ball up to Jones for 90 mins! If we'd hit form second half it could have been a humiliation for them, but as it was we went off the boil they tried their best and it became scrappy, but job done so who cares.

Howay 12495 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just got back Chuffed about that one, we were in control from the off didn't even have to come out of the dressing room for the 2nd half. Mackam fans were fucking shite, looked like a bunch of scruffs too one old bloke that was shouting abuse before kick off looked like something out of shameless. That mcShane is a woeful player, also they were dirty as hell you could tell it was a Roy Keane team. GET IN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 87 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 only downside was our midfielders short range passing is collectively awful. owen/bey/ enrique the best players. both full backs supported play extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Gosh Owen avoiding the big question about his 'gut feeling' about staying like the minister of finance for Brazil. Not the most convincing interview, no. What did he say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoggeordie 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Gosh Owen avoiding the big question about his 'gut feeling' about staying like the minister of finance for Brazil. Not the most convincing interview, no. What did he say? .cock: "The manager called me into his office a week ago and told me about his plans for the future," said the ten-goal striker. "He discussed the kind of players he wants to bring in and what ambitions he has for Newcastle United. "I was really enthused by what he had to say. Everyone connected with the club is looking forward to next season with great anticipation. "These last few weeks have given me a real appreciation of what Newcastle is all about. It has been my best spell since I arrived." And, of his contract situation, Owen added: "At the moment there is nothing on the table for me to consider so it's hard for me to make a statement about my future.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Owen, Butt and Beye all outstanding. At the risk of upsetting the Martins fanboys, we could have won by a couple more if his decision making was a bit better. How is Owen doing on the Mag-ness rating now acrossthepond?

Ask me again after he signs a new contract. But yes, putting two past the Mackems is a major bonus on the magness scale. Owen is quality. He can be having a terrible game, then win it for you with one chance, and he'll keep a lot of his prowess even without many physical attributes. Martins has all the physical attributes to be utterly sensational (and sometimes he can be), but he's lacking that bit of quality and consistency so you never know quite what you'll get, although he's still well worth holding on to. Keeping hold of both for the foreseeable future should be some of Keegan's biggest priorities, as I doubt we'll easily attract better than either in their own ways.

luckyluke 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Fucking get in. Owen, Barton and Taylor were the standouts IMO. Geremi was awful, he really must be replaced this summer.

smoggeordie 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Did anyone see Taylor try to do "a Tino" at full time by putting his shirt on the corner flag. It fell off and he just went round carrying the flag instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Row Z 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I still maintain Kaka would be a good replacement for Geremi Well done to the team today, played ok and never looked in trouble. Would have been nice to really thrash them but any derby win is a welcome one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geremi is a strange one, his corners are abysmal and today his passing was shocking, yet he looks as though he'll set up a goal a game, usually for Owen! I think overall since returned to the team under KK he has done a job for us, and has been involved in alot of goals, but some body has got to take the corners off him and obviously next season we need a better player to replace him in the team.
