Match Day Thread Newcastle United v Manchester City (Cap 1 Cup) - Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

As usual ........... anywhere but the match

 

ACS: seems fair odds to me.

 

My heart ached when I saw Sholas name. Jesus titty ****ing Christ

Whatever way you look at it this formations bollocks. It either means he is playing Sissoko out left or one of Cisse or Ameobi is on the wing. This is precisely why I hate the silver haired ****. The bloke has lost the plot even more so than usual.

 

Must confess, it does look complete fcking bobbins.

I assume it's 4-4-2 with the lethal Shola/Cisse partnership up top, the not-really-a-left-midfielder Gouffran on the left (instead of Dummett or Sammy) and the not-even-remotely-a-right-midfielder Sissoko on the right. Or it's 3 in the middle, but fck knows where (or why) Cisse is playing.

Anita's the only justifiable inclusion, but now he has to play in some lop-sided garbage and will then struggle.

Why isn't Sammy playing, or Dummett, or Santon further up the pitch, or Campbell through the middle? Sadly I'd rather see Obertan than Sissoko, if it's 4-4-2, because then it'd make sense.

I just don't understand pardew. It's like a plumber turning up to fix a leak with a van full of the right stuff, then heading up to the bathroom with a plunger, a nine iron and a tub of yoghurt.

 

It's called a job and i'm 290 miles away.. I guess thats a foreign concept?. But REP for your witty comment, well done. You're fun

 

Wish Hacky's boys were here. Lol.

 

Summed up my thoughts exactly. Whatever way you look at it at least one player is out of position when there are players on the bench that actually play on the wing.

 

Shola........... Oh ****

 

Oh no! He's just said the 'r' word...

"Our fans are desperate to see a reaction..."

 

Does anyone remember The Magic Roundabout when Zebedee would srping into view and just wobble about bouncing on the spot?

That reminds me a lot of Shola after he's missed a shot, missed the ball, missed the pass or missed the plot. He just stands there sproinging about uselessly.

 

A mackem has put things into perspectine and asked why Shola hasnt retired yet

 

Wish he would

 

Is it over yet?

 

Williamson throwing himself about like the lumbering oaf he is

 

"Late tackle, referee? I only just got here."

 

Close

 

Cisse first chance

 

Close

 

Cisse tries overhead kick ..... not even close to making a connection

 

Passing it ok imho
