Newcastle hate losing. Fantastic

It's a mentality of truly great teams. They just hate losing and try till the bitter end. How often have we seen ManU score very late on in games and usually thought "lucky b**tards"...well it's a quality I'm now seeing in the Toon.

At no point did our heads go down against Spurs; indeed we rose to the challenge of coming back TWICE from behind.

We now play open, entertaining football with pace and flair.......I can't even believe it's our beloved Newcastle. We've more flair players coming into the team all the time so the future bodes well.

 

I like it

 

Makes you wonder where Nolan would fit into this team. I was worried that losing him and Barton would kill the team spirit, but if anything it's even better now!

 

My dad is a QPR season ticket holder and came back from the game on Saturday moaning about Barton, saying how slow and unmobile he is

 

Newcastle hate losing, surely every team hates losing. Only idiots don't hate losing.

 

He has no place in this team, as many were trying in vain to tell the short sighted kiddies raging at his departure. We got an awesome deal for a bloke whose legs have complately gone - FACT. Even some of the West Ham fans have been complaining about him and that's in the Championship. We are absolutely well rid, I've been forced to eat my words a lot recently but I was always right about this one.

 

I wasn't impressed when we sold him. He was scoring goals and at the very least he wouldn't have been bad to have at the club as cover. But some people were kidding themselves into thinking he was our best player, which is quite wide of the mark. My main worry was the team spirit, but even then it looks like Nolan and Barton have been holding some people back! I've seen a few things about Barton pissing all the players off in the QPR dressing room now!

 

I was worried about him leaving as I thought that without him, Shola would play and then we wouldn't have a goalscorer. Luckily, Ba and Best have both shown they can do it.

 

Agree with you on the team spirit thing - that was the only thing that slightly worried me too - but it would seem that it wasn't an issue after all. If anything our amazing team spirit now may suggest that the players' committee was drowning everyone else out and they thought they were bigger than the club, but that's all conjecture of course. Now everyone in the dressing room has a voice and it shows.

Aye Barton's already started laying into Taarabt (I agree with him but going public with it is risky) and supposedly was going over the top criticising his teammates when they were watching videos of a previous match. When Cabaye came I'm sure he said that while Barton was normally very supportive the atmosphere was sometimes 'a bit tense' or something to that effect when he was around, or maybe that was a particularly mundane dream of mine. From the outside looking in it seems as though he was very disruptive, if the things he's rumoured to have said are true he'd piss me off if I was his teammate.

 

Surely the mundaneness of the dream depends on where Cabaye said this to you

 

LOL

Indirectly, from the pages of the newspaper sadly

 

That. And your gayboy pic......LOL
