I'm going for a 3-0 defeat as we will get hammered I think. For 90 minutes it will be......

Counter-attacking football, haidara and janmaat providing crosses, tiote & colback help defence, we have to try Riviere with Cisse before we start looking at Perez or Ferreyra.

 

Reckon Cisse may start on the bench still.
After this game though I think he will be first on the team sheet.
I expect Pards to go ultra defensive due to the Swansea style and the fact that we are away from home.
I'm pinpointinf the Leicester game as the game that, if we lose... Pards goes.

 

Sorry ACS there is no place in my team for you.

 

5-0 Swansea

 

I see Mbiwa had a good game for Roma last night.... Hmmmm....



Anyway, I think we'll either go down 2-0, or get a scrappy draw if we somehow score first!

 

Apparently he's been their best performing defender this season, playing at CB. Getting MoM awards etc. Good enough for Roma and Rudi Garcia. The best evidence yet of Pardewing.

 

Did ok. Was lucky to still be on the pitch along with Cole and a couple more. Kicked the living piss out of City. Aguero looked like he was gonna cry. Ref had a shocker but fun to watch. He went about three times with blows to the head area. He was ok seconds later. Either delaying tactics or he's still a pussy. Doing ok in the CL or Italy doesn't make you right for the PL though I have to say. I watched that the highlights and the Apoel Nicosia and Maribor defend really well against Ajax and Schalke, I still wouldn't be convinced their centre backs would survive the rigours of a PL season.

MYM was just cack and struggled. Some leagues don't some players, no harm in that. He pretty much admitted this himself. Ashley Cole looked really good last night, but he has begun to look dodgy in the PL when played and was cast off by Chelski. Horses for courses and all that.

 

We will be handsomely beaten in this one. 4-1 to Swansea with Dyer and Bony getting 2 each. Cisse a late consolation out of sympathy.

 

Mate he took one really vicious blow to the head that would have put any defender down and he was generally solid throughout. He was obviously told to get at the city strikers and I thought he did his job well.

I can see a hammering of 4-0 in this one, pardew in tears and then hopefully gets his marching orders.

 

aye but Italian teams know nowt about defending fella.. they're crap.
i remember seeing that waste of space Maldini once and he couldn't lace Willo's boots.

 

He went off three times in about 20mins. More likely delaying tactics than being a pussy to be fair. The first one where he collided with his own was fair enough, actually very good defending from him. As I say he did quite well. Very good defensive display from Roma, excellent counter attack football. Their midfield just sat really really deep and Toure, Silva had no space at all in front. MYM like his fellow defenders did well, it is simply is incorrect to use it as a yardstick to play in the PL though. We saw him in the PL, he struggled and was man enough to admit he struggled (which he actually deserves a lot of respect for). He didn't enjoy it. I just cringe when we start to say "ah look he is doing well for Roma, clearly it was all Pardews doing". No I'm sure Pardew did not want him to run out of defence like a lunatic doing his best impression of Saylor. Each to their own of course but I just think we seem to have a funny way of finding excuses for players who just haven't' cut it regardless of the manager.

 

3-0 to Swansea. We will never score again whilst the MUPPET is in charge. This defeat will highlight how far we have plunged as a football club.. No offense to Swansea but I used to think these sort of games gave us a good chance of an away win. Not anymore! You know what I may be wrong, it might another 4 or 5 niller. Not sure whether niller is a real word by the way. It sounds good though!!

 

As long as P45due is in charge I think he'll continue to ignore Haidara prefering his new favourite, Dummett. Playing one up front is NOT working so please change it and at least try to win the game. I also believe he'll drop Cabella for the Swansea game.

 

Personally, CB is the only position on the field I am somewhat lenient about. First year even the best ones find it tricky, like Colo or Vidic. Mbiwa wasn't really given an opportunity, but to be honest, I have reservations whether it was football related. When I worked at the airport, at the end of the season all the other players were sitting together, flew off together (Nice and Amsterdam), but he came through by himself, even though he was also going to Nice.

Just don't think he settled here.

 

There is no harm in either the game here or the cultural experience not being for him. Some work, some just don't. Juan Sebastian Veron was a massively talented player but the game here just didn't suit. Shevchenko, Rebrov, Brolin, Aquilani and countless more. If English players ever bother there arse and actually start playing abroad like Cole has, they'll find that too. Rush, Des Walker, Gazza just didn't enjoy it at all or weren't at their best. Then you have the likes of Charles, Keegan, Waddle, Hoddle, Beckham, Mcmanaman, Francis, Souness, Platt, Lineker, Lambert who thrived.

I certainly don't hold it against MYM, he had a go and it wasn't for him.

 

Jebus you guys are giving us a lot of credit! I think it will be a really tough game and am praying that we can win it. I've met a Geordie fan while on my travels so have developed quite a soft spot for you guys. I think you need to be rid of pardew (and preferably Ashley) then be on your way to progressing up the table. Far to good a side to be relegated imo.
Good luck for the season after our game.

P.s. I really really ****ing hate the mackems. Bunch of pussies the lot of them.

 

You need to finish us off, smash us with no mercy- please aid us in cutting part of this horrific, disgusting growth out of us. We can't do **** all about the fat, enormous tumour but this parastic, bottom feeding one we will hopefully be cut out once and for all after Saturday.
