Newcastle United v Norwich - Official Build Up / Matchday Thread

The horse has been fed, he's warmed the stable now bring him on to score (a couple)

 

Hard to argue with the pen IMO, he got wrong side of Williamson who jumped early, he either let's Williamson win the header unchallenged or he makes contact with the player and not the ball! Ref has been poor though, been a couple of times he should've just let the game run!

Either way, enjoyable enough game to watch, you've played some really nice 1/2 touch football, Ben Arfa has been fairly unplayable in our midfield and I think had our strikers been more willing to gamble we'd have had more shooting opportunities from Ben Arfa's creative play!

 

Back to footballing matters - Turner seems to have no positional sense whatsoever. Barny and Russel were holding a decent line and Turner must have been 5 yards beyond them!!! Bassong is going to be a massive miss if he's out for any length of time!

 

Moolti-tasking ..I can walk and dodge furniture if that counts?

Not here before got back late..dammit, Does seem you canaries have taken the board over .most of the regulars here will be at the game

 

Sorry Chris, just making the most of the friendliness of the opposing fans. Top bunch of lads here

 

Also, I'm not at the game but I dismt get back from work until 15 minutes before the game and I live a good 40 minutes from Newcastle!

 

Enjoy yourselves there, send my regards to AB and the lot if you see them

 

The only consolation when Bassong went off was the fact he walked off in not too much discomfort. Hoefully only a slight strain and he'll be fit to go again very soon. Am not confident with Turner in the backline at the moment!

 

Enjoy yourselves, on to the second half!

 

well, my 1-2 Norwich is still on. Lets do this.

 

I love StJames Park, it's so weird. I'd put another tier on that big stand and have it start to hang back towards the pitch and you have to hook yourself in like a rollercoaster

 

Hoolahan is such a beast

 

So is my Geordies 2-0 Us

 

Nolberto's Salsa Inferno has to be the best not606 name ever.

 

I'd very much like to see this.

 

Not many clear cut chances at all, which means we could equalise (And to be fair we've matched Newcastle all the way) or go further behind just as easily!

 

It's just chance after chance for us and we can't put it in. We deserve something. It is coming!

 

Another good start to the half so... cue conceding another goal at about 65 minute mark!!!

 

getting worrying this ..we havent been firing on all cylinders all season .. get 20 mins spells at best, per game

Canaries have come out fired up.

 

Harper is going to have one of those days as well most likely!
