Game (already) On! Newcastle v Tottenham

Game On at St James' Park
Game On at St James’ Park
Good evening all, sorry I’m late. I finished work later than scheduled after battling the elements all day.

Still I’m here now and the game is already on so you should be well into the swing of things by now.

In the build up to the match I struggled to get myself up for it, mainly because our season is lacking anything to aim for. I’ve even put on a few live bets to keep myself interested in the football outside of United although now the game is here I’m feeling a bit better about things. Mind you we’ve just gone 1-0 down so here goes hey?

Team news is already out and is detailed below while streams are available so if you haven’t already got one/found one then all you need to do is ask and I’m sure someone will point you in the right direction.

It’s not ideal having nowt to play for but here we are. All we can do is try and rescue some points and see where it takes us between now and the end of the season. As ever, all of your comments are always welcome.

Howay the lads!

  2. they just have to shoot and they score.
    Have a good night guys it’s enough for me.

    You have just to look start of the game, who the Manager trust who is captain and you know how the game will go.
    TY PARDEW

  3. we can no longer claim to be ‘best of the rest’
    but rather the ‘worst of the best’
    or something like that
    Nice GD too
    NOT

  4. Anita can do the tiki taka but I don’t think he can thread the forward balls as well as i’d hoped. Just keeps getting intercepted.

  5. He has no technical ability or any control to take it past a player, and he can’t pass. You give him the ball in an area he can’t shoot and his brain just ***** itself, forget “brainfarts”.

  6. Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick. I would like to make a fourth observation. And that observation is this: We are fucking horrendous.

  7. Disgraceful all round.
    Everything connected to the club is currently diabolical but it the defeats against Man City/Arsenal were still promising performances.
    This rot begun with the sale of Cabaye.

  8. worst GD of 12 out of top 13 teams.
    I think we will finish 12th at this rate
    At least Fat Ash will be happy, not having to pay out club bonuses AGAIN

      (Quote)

  9. The entire spine of the team is gone at present: Colo, Tiote, Cabaye, Remy. And without Cabaye, well, it doesn’t bear thinking about. We’ll be better with the other three back, but from there, where?

  10. Long time I didn’t see players so demotivated.
    I really think our only chance now for the rest of the season is to change the manager and to give new impulse to the team.
    Because the 10 last minutes IT WAS JUST PATHETIC

      (Quote)

  11. Well if we did not already know ,we know now the sale of Cabaye has ripped the belief out of all the players . They just dont care anymore .

  12. This feels worse than last year.
    Last year we had genuine, fair excuses for our poor performances – worst injury record, and Europa – which affects many clubs.
    This years rot is all our own doing. From our **** coaches and amateur manager to our ******* board and gutless players.

  13. I actually really am interested to hear what Pardew could possibly have to say after that. He should hang his head in shame along with most of the players.

      (Quote)

  14. IF fatso is going to ****-can him, he’ll keep Pards till just before the summer, won’t he? That’ll reduce the payout a bit. And we know how fatso feels about payouts.

  15. Dont worry, some think we will be going on a massive run with the ‘easy’ games we have coming up – and qualifying for Europe…. Lol

    What I’d give to suu Newcastle United supplied with a big toe

  16. Obviously Fatso is the real problem. But his surrogate is the mug we see on the bench every week, calling the day-to-day shots and supposedly massaging this heap of **** into a team.

  17. Also there was something in Pardew’s eye and his pen wasn’t working. Did anybody else notice the brown stain that appeared on the seat of Pardew’s pants just after their 4th goal?

      (Quote)

  18. I only want Pardew to go if Ashley goes.
    For me it’s both or neither.
    Pardew is the Wenger of mid-table mediocrity. He’ll do it on an unfair budget, and toe the party line while doing it.
    I want both out though.

  19. Awful scoreline that … again. And again there were chances to do something about it. But again the second best side on the park.

    Roll on the recovery. 😆

      (Quote)

  20. I think we were the third best side on the park. Those plastic bags blowing around at least had a good half.

      (Quote)

  21. Bugbear –
    But the team really is ****.
    We were hoping for top 8 at the start of the year.
    Pardew had us on course for that.
    Then we sell our best player 🙄 The guy who controls our tempo both offensively and defensively.

      (Quote)

  22. You know I think Ashley could afford to sign up a couple of those plastic bags. Yes, that’s it. Nobody would expect it. And think of the savings in wages.

      (Quote)

  23. It’s ok though, we won’t miss him.

    Anita is definitely stepping up to the plate. And Ben Arfa will score from a free kick at some point, I can feel it.

    😆

  24. Agreed with your point about the offensive and defensive pivot Cabaye played. We’ll be better with the others back, but not very much better, it seems. Cabaye is one of those players who made everyone around him better, even when he wasn’t on the score line.

  25. @194, but Shamrock, we have plenty of perfectly functional other toes. We could play two little toes in the middle with one index toe on the overlap.
    A formation mastered by our smog-fueled Middlesbrough chums.

  26. I’m feeling a surge in optimism as well Newkie mate. We’re flying along now make no mistake. Pardew has the team playing just the way he wants them to.

      (Quote)

  27. We’re putting a really god run together now. Our defence is absolutely pish by the way. Why is Steven Taylor never anywhere near the ball, nor his man, when the ball comes into the box ? The bloke is gash…

      (Quote)

  28. Still, it is a lot better than last season when we escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth. We are going to take a few more batterings this season, for sure, but thank goodness we are safe. We have to be thankful for small mercies…

  29. well IMO one of things killing this club is the fans,they keep turning up to watch this ****,comes to summit when the players don’t give a ****

  30. …just had a flashback like, to about 1977, Whitley Bay Leisure Pool. Lad next tivis just boot te launch himsel in the pool, noticed he had two big toes on each foot. They pointed out at approx 22degree angles. Can remember thinking ‘he’s gana make ripples but not gan far’.
    True story. Read into that what you will. 😯

  31. Munich-the man is dog ***** isn’t he. Isn’t that 13 goals conceeded in the four games Tayls has been back?

      (Quote)

  32. Nah Rodz, why stop there. Go for the great unwashed approach of hving webbed feet. That way nothing gets through, so if we cant score – at least we don’t concede 💡

      (Quote)

  33. Rodz what’s unusual about that mate? Doesn’t everyone have 2 big toes on each foot? Pardew has both feet in his mouth again. Now that has always impressed me! 😆

      (Quote)

  34. I just feel we’re building up to something tremendous. I think we will score sooner or later. No really, I believe in the Pardew method. 🙄

      (Quote)

  35. Well Pardew must have something evil , i mean his coaching skills are so powerful and stretch so far that even Toonsy was late with this article . The power of the dark side of the force is strong my friends . ❗ luckily enough his foot soldiers are weak and we will prevail . The force of the summer transfer window is strong 😯 😆

  36. The game was far closer than the score line suggest. Some very poor Goalkeeping on our part and Cisse can’t finish his dinner. The scoreline could have been very different if he had put that first sitter away he worked hard though so at least he done that. Remy is back now so he should be out of the team again.

    Sissoko yet again showing he has to be played on the wing. Santon has to be out of the team now he has been in shocking form. Ben Arfa comes on yet again and does **** all but slow the tempo and lose the ball for them to counter people say he is a 1 in 5 performer more like a 1 in 10

    Sammy looked good yet again and i think he is in first spot for a wide man role.

    Have to say i didn’t hear a peep out of the Newcastle fans all night. Spurs ***** fans absolutely embarrassing them with their one “come on your spurs” song.

    Pardew showing yet again his complete inability to change anything once things go bad. Will be looking out over the next few days to see if this bullshit rumour from twitter has any truth in it.
