Match Day Thread Newcastle vs Fulham Match Thread

No excuse, mods should be prepared for everything.

 

This.

 

If it's true Pieters was watching, what a way to win him over if he joins

 

LMAO was thinking the same thing lost 6 points on that goal!!

 

Been out coaching all day and just come in and found out the score, cracking start to the season..

 

I was really impressed with Obertan today.

 

Good result lads, would have been even sweeter if Ba's shot had gone in!
Glimpses of hope from the forward, Best showed he is a proven goalscorer and should start ahead of Ameobi any day.
Get Pieters in and move Raylor to RB a Simpson was appalling today once again, it might be the fact he's just had a baby and is slightly distracted. He needs to raise his game though.
Another solid performance from the defense overall though along with terrific saves from Timmy in goal.

Midfield wise we were poor on some occasions, especially Tiotes who was still no at his best today. Obertan showed skill down the wing along with Jonas and Cabaye showed that he is more than capable of replacing Barton in midfield as his passing, shots and corners were brilliant.

Hope Haris is alright, suspected broken finger, made a good pass I guess x)!
Great result HWTL!!!!

 

Another good result, a new left back hopefully on the way, Cabaye and Tiote looking quality, Joey who?

 

Ditto! He actually tracked back and made some fantastic tackles.

 

Smith got carded and gave away a freekick in the exact spot they scored their first goal .

Good performance today overall though, lapse of concentration at the start and near the end but lads like Cabaye and Obertan were impressive.

 

Cabaye didn't have a bad game either.

 

This.

Also that's why I currently STILL RATE BEST AS OUR BEST STRIKER. Sure he isn't the quickest, strongest or cleverest of strikers but he does one thing and one thing only.. SCORES GOALS. Was at the RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

 

Was it just me who thought Ba was looking a lot better than usual when he came on?

Shame Smith still hasn't improved to PL level, hopefully Gosling will take his place on the bench in time for QPR.

 

Nice match and a good result. Only regret is that we didn't keep a clean sheet. Anyways was quite satisfied with everyone especially Ba, and Cabaye who really improved and came close to getting their first goals for us. Also was pretty satisfied with our defensive performance and Krul's saves which really deserved a cleansheet. But anyways nice result. Can't f**king remember when we started a season so well. 1 pt against a top 4 side, 3 in a derby and 3 against a decent mid table team : good times

 

Smith and Lovenkrands need to be demoted to working in the staff canteen! Absolutely awful players.

Well played though boys, we are unbeaten!

 

Our team is starting to play some REALLY nice football at times! Glimpses of what we can do today and I can't wait for it to happen

 

Really good idea. Either that or bring the water bottles out.

 

84:56 Substitution Alan Smith replaces Haris Vuckic.

90:00+4:27 Foul by Alan Smith on Steve Sidwell, free kick awarded.

90:00+4:39 Booking The referee cautions Alan Smith for unsporting behaviour.

 

wonder if we'll get an installment of Tash TV today?

 

Then we'd have to see there ugly mugs!
