7 mins for revenge on that final game of the season.

That_Guy

Oh for fúck sake.

bazual

fcuk it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, disaster. dont deserve this.

Cake Man

FCUK. RIGHT. OFF.

bazual

3 points dropped. shocking, just shocking.

That_Guy

Very disappointing.

having a laugh

Cake Man

Disgusted with that.

bazual

All I can say is GO ON QPR 2-2

That_Guy

Our defence, having received a ton of praise has turned into a shambles overnight. The sooner Williamson is back the better but we need to buy another one badly.

Positive: Vuckic and Ba. Without Ba, we'd be fúcked. I have no qualms in admitting that he is one of the finest centre forwards since we've had since Shearer.

Negatives: Sloppy at the back and shít crossing.

G.K.

How was Vuckic bar the two long-range shots?

Played well, shows promise, great control and has the eye for a pass. Not much of a tackler so not like Cabaye or Guthrie, needs to improve that area of his game.


Balls. Mackems just scored. balls balls balls.

Decent, looks to be quality, our problems today were at the back and down the wings. Colo is being pulled all over the shop, most likely because he is covering, or feels he needs to cover, Perch

Isnt it amazing how your fortunes can change, look at Sunderland now.

They are still 5hit, QPR are a poor team.

Watched the whole game tonight between you guys and West Brom. Have to say on the balance of play I thought you were robbed. The defense is a problem because there is a lack of pace there and they were playing a very high line.

Ba is just so classy, had the ball in the net four times I think it was with two offside. Regardless of the offsides it just shows how lethal the guy is. Was nice to see Ben Arfa get an opportunity but I think he is lost playing behind the front man in a situation where the other team are trying to hold on. I thought Shola Ameobi would have been a more sensible substitution at that stage with his height. Tiote didn't look his usual self tonight but the one thing that impressed me about Newcastle tonight even in defeat is how hard almost every player works. It won't be long before you are back to winning ways with that attitude on the pitch.

Agree with the poster who said you need to buy somebody for the back. Well if you are going to play such a high line that is.

NufcNavan

Crap defense.

Crap subs by Pardew (Taylor for Santon, wtf??)

Crap display (Bar Vuckic and Ba)

Deserved nothing.

G.K.

Santon injured?

I was away last night so missed the game,only got round to watching the highlights on football first so my observations probably won't be as good as the rest of your's,but jaysus what an awful result losing to west brom at home,our defending for the 2nd and 3rd goal would give you nightmares.Vuckic seemed to play well,but regardless we really missed.cabaye dictating the play in midfield.Best works like a horse and his touches are generally good,but he offers no real goal threat,I think we should definitely play ben arfa behind Ba for the bolton game.I'm not overly optimistic going into this game now,at the start of the month,it seemed like an easy 3 point win but can't see us getting anything!

Was suprised when Vucknic was playing that it wasnt Ben Arfa up front as he could drop deeper than Best and help in midfield. Best wasnt sharp at all but suppose he hasnt played in ages. Can Vucknic play on the right wing?
Agree with a previous poster who said that bringing on Ben Arfa when chasing a game isnt the right option as he can't get in behind as much.. Shola Ameobi up front would have been the right option but on the wing was a bit stupid!! need a fast CB in Jan! Coloccini got seriously exposed for pace last night, i know Long and Odemwingie are fast, shame we didnt get Long in the Summer.. If we didnt have Ba we would be serious trouble..

More of the same crap. Another nothing of a transfer window by sounds of it. Amazing how other managers can get 3-4 players in. Pardew should ring harry and ask how its done.

Nothing to do with Pardew really.

:rolleyes:

Pardew doesn't have the freedom in the market that Redknapp does so that's a non starter. If he had, then we'd have a lot more players in the squad than we currently do.

Maiga was set to arrive in January, now that's not happening - not awful disappointed considering he would've been a risk at £7m.

We'll probably get a centreback in come the New Year, either on loan or whatever but can people stop living in dreamland when it comes to Newcastle United in the transfer market - we're a changed club.
When we sign someone it'll be after lengthy research, prolonged discussions and at the right price. Not forgetting his age.

Cabaye, Ba, Santon, Ben Arfa, Abeid the results of all this.

I'm a fan of what we are working towards with Ashley, it's just some of his other self-efficiency methods are questionable at best.

That_Guy

Not sure how regularly I'll be online between now and Christmas Day but have a good one fellow Mags.

Hopefully we get a belated present in the form of a win V Bolton on Stephen's Day.

Take it easy lads.

And Paully if you're reading this (I know you are ), have a good one too mate.

Heres hoping for a black and white new year

On the Maiga thing, anyone thing its strange that this broke down over a disputed medical? I wonder if the form of Demba Ba has anything to do with it?

bazual

Ah, no thanks.

I'd say it's down to Maiga's shít form myself. :pac:

bazual wrote: »

I think he might be a good signing for you myself.

He'll be cheap as City barely know he exists and he's very versatile which would be handy as you could do with cover in all 4 positions across the back which he'd provide. Fits the Ashley model in all areas of cost, wage, age and potential sell on fee.

He's decent enough in most attributes whilst not really excelling in anything. A solid mid-table Premier League defender.

The only problem is he wouldn't come back to us as he wanted to stay in the north-west (his mother is very sick AFAIK) so that could be a problem. I could see him preferring a move to another north-west club but with them all (realistic options for him anyway) in relegation trouble who knows.

Time will tell i suppose... Lets hope its not a Demba Ba situation

Looking like the team st.stephens day,


Krul

Simpson --- Colo --- Williamson --- Raylor

Obertan --- Tiote --- Cabaye --- Gutierrez

Ben Arfa --- Ba


Few things we need to get tactically right,first of us none of this high defensive line sh*te this time,west brom murdered us with that last time,with williamson playing it'll give us more power in the air.
As much as I dislike Obertan,I think he has a big part to play tomorrow,with Alonso injured,Paul Robinson will be playing so if Obertan can't beat him,he won't beat anyone! Here's to hoping to an end to our stephen day blues with a win at the reebok,happy christmas everyone,have a good one!

Vurnon San Benito

As the other lads have said; a Happy and safe Christmas to ye all

We've a good chance against Bolton on Monday, if we're allowed to pass the ball around the park I reckon we'll win - all depends how Coyle's men come out of the traps.
Better not be a freak mauling again :pac:

Apparently we've made an official enquiry for Vertonghen as well, probably asking whether they'll take £5m cash for him and a bottle of whiskey :pac:

Take it easy lads!

bazual

Happy Xmas to all the mags posters and Paully.

Cake Man

Hope ye all had a good Xmas. Plenty of chocolate and sweets to munch through today while watching our game I hope!

Right so, down to the business, Bolton today. They'll be on a high after beating Blackburn and moving off the foot of the table last week, whereas we're going through a sh!tty patch lately with just 2 points from our last 6 games.
They do have the worst defence in the league (-17) and have only won one at home this season so that gives me hope we can take all 3 points. Big plus having Cabaye back, really missed him against WBA. Williamson maybe back in defence so hopefully that'll shore things up, as we're conceding way too many goals lately.
I'm going to go for a 2-1 win for the Toon.

Paully D

A Newcastle win IMO. 1-2.

Happy with Williamson getting his game,no surprises over Obertan really,disappointed Best is playing,offers very little goal threat!

Anyone have any decent links for the game??cheers

As for us. 1-1 till the last 10 mins and we will get a jammy winner from Shola, 2-1.

It certainly won't be easy. We haven't beaten Everton in 10 years. Draw at best, IMO.

What does Obertan offer? can't cross, can't defend, shooting is awful, he is a dead end even against the worst defense in the league he looks woefully out of his depth

I doubt he has an assist either
