Craig 6321 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's ok everyone, here comes Shola. And not to fear... we've got another 3 years of paying his salary! Bet he regrets rejecting that move to Stoke now - what was he saying about wanting Premiership football next season? West Brom, Boro and ourselves - it's nailed on IMO.

Cid_MCDP 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Ok. Regardless of how close the first half was and how optimistic it made me, the outcome of this game isn't surprising. This was a game NUFC should lose and we did. That isn't what concerns me. What concerns me is this whole not-starting-Owen thing. I get that Clipboard wants to try and "save" his best scorer, but we're not in 7th place coasting in, we're in fucking 17th! Every point we get from here on out could be the difference between staying up and going down. So if you don't owe it to the faithful to field the best fucking side you can, if you don't feel you owe it to the season ticket holders, at LEAST have the fucking sense to realize that RELEGATION IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY AT THIS POINT! For fuck's sake! Do they know when the season ends? The other thing that concerns me obviously is that we lost our two best defenders of late today. Never thought I'd be saying that about STaylor, but there it is. He was class against Hull and he was class today. On the bright side, Harps played a helluva match today. Good lord. Score could've very easily been 5 or 6-1 without Harper (and STaylor). What was the story on Jonas not playing? Did he get injured in training and I missed it? RTaylor commits way too many silly fouls. On a final note- is it just me or does Colocinni seem to be getting worse as the season goes on? Is he playing hurt or something? He doesn't look the same as he did back in October or November. Edited March 21, 2009 by Cid_MCDP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 For Fucks Sake! How long do you think we'll be in the lower division? High marks to Martins for missing the penalty. High marks to the ones who let him take it. High marks to all the lads who played well in the 1st half and self-destructed in the 2nd. High marks to Ashley for allowing Keegan to get away. High marks to anyone who thinks we'd be in this predicament if Keegan was still here. High marks to Hughton for realizing that when you are 3 - 1 down and time is running out the right thing to do is put the energetic, dynamic, work-horse Amoeba into the fray to save us.

Let Nolan PK? Hell, let STaylor take the fucking PK! High marks also to Shola for that lame attempt straight into the GK there late. Noelie, you live stateside, does the Arsenal GK remind you of that douche from the TGIFriday's commercials?

Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Taylor going off injured seemed to have a massive effect on the team today. He showed more passion today than Ive ever seen from any player in a long time, he was really driving the team on and was one of the main reasons we were playing as well as we were. Coloccini was absolutely horrendous and I'm seriously getting worried about him now, i wouldnt say hes been any better than Bramble or Boumsong overall this season. In the games such as Stoke, Portsmouth, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Fulham we need to come out and play like we did today (but with Jonas & Owen starting ) if we manage to do that then i think we have a decent chance of staying up, but after all this is Newcastle United, nothing is ever written in stone. I refuse to accept that we are going down Anyway player ratings today: Harper 6/10 Beye 7/10 STaylor 8/10 Coloccini 2/10 Enrique 7/10 RTaylor 4/10 Butt 5/10 Nolan 6/10 Duff 7/10 Martins 7/10 Lovenkrands 5/10 Next game i'd like us to play IF POSSIBLE: Harper STaylor Beye Bassong Enrique Guthrie Nolan Jonas Lovenkrands Owen Martins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Colon 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I wouldn't have given Colloccini 2/10 - it would be in the minus area - he ran around looking like sideshow bob with no discernible footballing ability whatsoever - absolute joke he should be thoroughly ashamed of that display but as with the rest of the team i am sure he will collect his paycheck without even the slightest twinge of guilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - I don't think i have ever watched a central defender with less positional sense than him - he made taylor look like fuckin beckenbauer - consistently in the wrong place at the wrong time and couldn't even be arsed to try - pathetic - the likes of the two taylors and enrique may not have the talent but i think Colloccini commits the greater sin of not giving a toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6098 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 People can slate Taylor for his plastic geordie status all they want but hes been one of our best players the last few games. If more of the team gave a similar effort we wouldt be in the bottom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
