Predictions for what the pundits will say then?

Barton has a crouch?

 

Lineker won me over a little with his craic last night, keeping on referring sarcastically to the 'biggest club fixture in world football', had a good laugh at that. Shearer is bloody useless as a pundit as much as I love the guy, he pisses me off when he's sitting on that couch. Dixon I don't particularly mind tbh, find him fairly agreeable. Lawrenson is just a ****ing twat obviously.

 

Best bit was when Lineker called Bolton-Wigan the biggest club game in the world. I was laughing so much I missed Reo-Coker's goal...

 

My phone's predictive text is messed up, the other day I tried to type in 'later' and it came up with materiałÃ³w.

 

See Szczesny's dig at Clattermole

 

What tall useless but has a hot wife

 

Either that or needs a **** on the side of a motorway...

 

There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher and Newcastle are still ****ing lucky and will be found out next week at their first real test.
Murray Walker

 

Dixon still pointed out that we are yet to play anybody yet

 

the french national team were today held 2-2 by a bunch of ***gots lead by a droopy faced ****, in what turned out to be an exciting match the droop did not bribe the ref enough to earn a full victory, heading back down south with a solitary point and cheeks ratched with gravel

 

"If Adebayor had looked to his left then Tottenham would have won"

"If Tottenham had slowed the game down and kept possession then they would have won."


Two things that were actually said.


Nobody said "If Coloccini had left it for Cabaye then Newcastle would have won."



It's like saying "If Spurs had put that ball in the back of the net more than Newcastle, then I think they might have won"

 

To be fair I think they were just saying that at 2-1 if Adebayor had not been such a greedy ****, we were screwed. 3-1 would have been tough to come back from and would have been tough to take on the balance of play. To be fair I knew Adebayor wasn't going to pass it, he's just not a team player and is an all round twatty person. He was a real thorn yesterday truth be told, he is top class and difficult to handle. We did ok considering.

The possession thing is nonsensical though. Surely it was good closing from us and good ball retention that resulted in them only having 43% of possession? It'll have played a part thats for sure. I thought they passed it poorly first half to be honest but we weren't at our best either.

 

To be fair to them they talked about us and our club for ages, and barley talked about spuds

 

This is a pattern we'll have to get used to this season, as we will likely dominate possession against most teams much to the bemusement of a nation of relegation-predictors.

We looked really composed in position for much of yesterday, and it was actually pretty frustrating the odd time when we resorted to lifting long balls. A sign of how far the team has come in a short space of time.




Still though... bound to fall on our faces against Wigan aye?
