Upton333 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Alright all? I am a West Ham fan looking forward to the visit of your good selves next Saturday. I also write a pre match preview for one of the West Ham sites and wanted to ask a few questions to make sure I am properly informed by the people in the know. 1. If the game against West Ham was a five a side, who would be in the Newcastle line up? 2. What has been the best/funniest chant at a Newcastle game this season? 3. Injuries have been a big factor in your season so far, who have you missed the most? 4. Who has been your worst player this season? 5. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of Shay Given. Please feel free to answer as few (or as many) as you like. If there is anything about West Ham that you need to know, please feel free to ask. Best of luck against L'Arsenal.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) 1 - Tony Caig, Craig Moore, Amdy Faye, Shola Ameobi, Michael Chopra 2 - Songs? At St James'? This season? You're having a laugh! 3 - Craig Moore - i think he's saving himself for the world cup! 4 - French international 8 million pound signing, Souness' proper player Jean Alain Bambi, er i mean Boumsong 5 - Strengths - World's best shot stopper. Weaknesses - Doesn't save pens and doesn't score enough! I'd like to ask - what is the general opinion of Marlon Harewood amonst you hammers? I've seen the sublime and the ridiculous from him and can't make up my mind. Edited December 10, 2005 by Smooth Operator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 1- (if Souness was managing it) Given, Taylor, Boumsong, Emre, Owen 2- I live in Reading so don't really know 3- Owen, but we have been missing Dyer's pace this season (and the last...and the last... ) 4- Moore. What was the point? 5- Great shot-stopper, loves the toon, gives a shit unlike quite a few players. Not too hot on penalties though. When I saw Harewood last at the mad stad he was subbed 20 mins in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 1. Souness, Murray, Saunders, McDermott, Given. The coaching staff at newcastle love 5 a side, thats all they do, no set pieces or tactics in training, just 5 a side, with plenty crunching tackles from souness to show he's the gaffa. Ask Dwight York 2. We only boo and shout "souness out" it hasn't worked yet, but it might after today when arsenal stuff us. 3. Michael Owen, If it wasn't for him playing regular for England I'd forget we actually signed him. 4. Amdy Faye, Boumsong, Bramble, Ameobi, Babayaro, need i go on. P.S I'm not a racist it's just there all shite. 5. Good shot stopper but doesn't command his box enough, nervous wreck due to the inability of his defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 1. If the game against West Ham was a five a side, who would be in the Newcastle line up? Leaving players out due to injury: Given, Boumsong, Parker, Solano, Owen 2. What has been the best/funniest chant at a Newcastle game this season? The funniest I heard was a couple of weeks ago at Everton (Away). 35 years and no Europe 35 years and no Europe 35 years and no Europe Sunderland's a massive club 42 players no one's heard of 42 players no one's heard of 42 players no one's heard of Sunderland's a massive club Ten pound for adults and kids go free Ten pound for adults and kids go free Ten pound for adults and kids go free Sunderland's a massive club Steve Cram, celebrity fan Steve Cram, celebrity fan Steve Cram, celebrity fan Sunderland's a massive club 3. Injuries have been a big factor in your season so far, who have you missed the most? Where do we start? I'd have to say Owen. Without Owen we're pretty much f*cked and have no options up-front. 4. Who has been your worst player this season? Amdy Faye has been useless. Boumsong's been pretty bad as well, and Ameobi has also been inept. 5. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of Shay Given. His kicking is sometimes weak, and sometimes he doesn't shout as much as he should but other than that, there's not a lot. I suppose, in keeper terms he's short, but he makes up for that with his agility. He's one of the best shot stoppers I've seen. Overall, I'd rate him as one of the best keepers around. Maybe that doesn't come over, because our defence is poor, but he's kept us in games when we really should have been dead and buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17743 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Bit depressing that "Feed the scousers" and "Sunderland [City] are a massive club" are both songs plagiarised from ManU. For West Ham, I still like "He's only a poor little hammer, his clothes are all tattered and torn,......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upton333 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'd like to ask - what is the general opinion of Marlon Harewood amonst you hammers? I've seen the sublime and the ridiculous from him and can't make up my mind. It must be said opinion is slightly split regarding Marlon, though I suspect he has made a few new friends this week with two goals. The general debate seems to be whether he is actually trying or not, he seems to have half the crowd calling him a lazy bastard, others feeling that he works his socks off. Overall, he is doing well for a player having his first crack at top flight football, he has plenty of pace, is strong on the ball and has a few tricks up his sleeve. Not quite Micheal Owen but he'll do for now. 66489[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there that day and I cannot think of a worse event caused by our supporters in the time I have supported NUFC. I've seen all the coin, golf ball and dart throwing and that was bad enough but glorifying the petrol-bombing of an 'away' supporter is just disappointing to me, that's all. I'm not trying to be 'holier than thou' or trying to appear some sort of killjoy, it's just that that particular song relates to a particularly dark day in our history and the bad old days of soccer hooliganism in general imo.

At least it is original even if it is dodgy in context, I wish we could get some more songs unique to us. Liverpool slums is indeed cringeworthy; you'll never get a job is even worse.

Greg 6 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 1. If the game against West Ham was a five a side, who would be in the Newcastle line up? Given,Taylor,Parker,Solano,Owen 2. What has been the best/funniest chant at a Newcastle game this season? 'Your SHIT and you stink of FISH' at Grimsby made me laugh. 3. Injuries have been a big factor in your season so far, who have you missed the most? Owen without a doubt, we've only lost once when he has played. 4. Who has been your worst player this season? Do it count if he hasnt been fit yet?? In that case moore. Boumsong has been dissapointing aswell but he did ok on saturday. Faye is a bit of a scapegoat and hadnt been doing himself any favours but it was hard for him when he has been coming on for the last 15/20 mins of a game when we've been shite all game.. he's done well when he has started against Villa and Arsenal. 5. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of Shay Given. Kicking and command of area (although it seems to be getting better) He is however the best shot stopper in the world.
