Newcastle United v Wigan - Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

This cat was also displeased with Massa's actions (or lack thereof)

 

I'd like to think wor lads were so depressed they fluffed the Southampton game after learning of Massa's crime at half-time. They were then so depressed they lost the Stoke game.

Hopefully they didn't get there hopes up for that Ferrari challenge the last few days, or we're well and truly screwed against Wigan

 

The Ferrari Challenge was half hearted, hope we don't make a half hearted effort, on the other hand, there was an incident with a gear box......
The best team will win on Monday

 

Looks like it would hold it's own with any dog.

 

Is it Ferrari's fault Massa trashed his gearbox in a way that was not immediately obvious to scrutineers or F1 mechanics, and coincidentally put Alonso on the clean side of the grid?

If only Massa had thrown that gearbox at Vettel instead of damaging it in such an incomprehensible manner...

 

There's been an ongoing F1 debate in the LTF household, Mr LTF and I have agred to disagree, as we're not playing until Monday, we will start disagreeing about that tomorrow....

 

And here's me thinking that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.

 

Wouldn't surprise me at all if she was the low grumbling voice I can hear from the Gallowgate shouting "dodgeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy keeeeeepeeeerrrrrrr"...

Thank goodness us polite men-folk are here to keep a sense of decorum and provide the class

 

Think she's in the East Stand, that's where the low grumbly voices come from.

 

Ahhhhh... Of course... If Newcastle United was Lost, they'd be "the others"

 

Yes I'm in the East Stand, I'm the one with the high pitched voice, the lady with the low grumbly voice sits a little ahead of me, has a bit of a Tash fom what I've observed, much have too much Testosterone, poor woman,

 

Can you crack glass?

 

Can You?

 

I've been known to crack glass and a bottle or two.

 

0-2 defeat. Going to be a struggle.

 

I can't believe pardews actually come out and said we're in a relegation battle. He might be right but him saying that after last seasons achievements is embarrassing. I don't care how many supposed injuries we have, which there aren't that many, we should have got more than 0 points from our last 4 games. He's let us down big time this season what a nobber

 

S Taylor Hamstring Injury 22nd Jan 13
H Ben Arfa Hamstring Injury 10th Dec 12
S Ameobi Groin/Pelvis Injury 3rd Dec 12 Late Fit Test
G Obertan Toe Injury 3rd Dec 12 Late Fit Test
Y Cabaye Groin/Pelvis Injury Feb 13
D Gosling Knee Injury no return date
H Vučkić ACL Knee Injury May 13
R Taylor ACL Knee Injury Mar 13


Seems plenty to me. I don't think injuries are to blame for our season so far though, considering we have been **** since day 1.

 

If he is asked "are you in a relegation battle?", what answer would you realistically want him to give? We all know if he'd said "no we're not, don't be silly" people would be accusing him of burying his head and being delusional. Personally I don't really care what gets said in the press, it has minimal impact on what happens on the pitch all said and done. The only time mind games are very effective is in a title race where you face a different kind of pressure. Do you really think privately him, the coaches and the players are all doom and gloom? No they'll be positive, fighting but they need to do their real talking on the pitch.

 

Wigan play better football and will win this game!!! Pardews words about playing much better are a joke because Stoke started with a weak side againts us and we again were pu nting the ball every time we got the ball.

Hes going to take us down with his blind arrogance

 

match day is here... yippee!!
