McFaul 35 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Me and Happy Face were the only two who correctly stated the toon would come 12th last year, we did them in the June, so it's about time we did this years predictions. 1 Chelsea 2 Man Utd 3 Man City 4 Arsenal 5 Tottenham 6 Dippers 7 Newcastle 8 Sunderland 9 Blue Dippers 10 Aston Villa 11 Bolton 12 Fulham 13 QPR 14 Stoke 15 WBA 16 Wolves 17 Wigan 18 Blackburn 19 Norwich 20 Swansea FA Cup: Chelsea League Cup: Tottenham CL: Barcelona EC: Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I think it's too early to predict - as it depends on things such as who Chelsea and Man City bring in. The outgoings at Arsenal etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rumours are to be believed, we'll play 4 4 1 1 a lot of the time next season, and there's a load of options if we get N'Zogbia with Ben Arfa too. I think we'll sign this Erdinc and that will be it for strikers with Shola and Lovenkrands battling it out with Ba. We all have opinions about Shola, but he is not as shite as the vast majority make him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I dont think saying we have 0 goalscorers is fair. The back of the net can be found by Ba, Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Barton(?) Who would you have listed last November? Carroll, Nolan, Ameobi, Barton (?) If we add Erding the squad has as many goalscorers as last season. Merveaux knows where the goal is too. We've lost 23 goals from Carroll and Nolan but we scored 56 in the league. If Ba get 10+, Ben Arfa should knock in 5+ and Merveax might surprise a few people too. We are missing a few goals still but people might be predicting better than 13th since they expect us to sign a striker. If we dont, then i think we'll struggle to better last season.

We all have opinions about Shola, but he is not as shite as the vast majority make him out to be. He really is Stevie man, he's lazy with an awful touch and dire positioning, less than 70 goals in his career as a striker and he's 29, that's so bad that even Alan Smith has almost as many goals as Shola theres only like 4 in it. Except shola's includes nearly 30games in the championship and god knows how many fa cup/league cup games against nobodies. Sorry but less than 70 goals in all competitions at the age of 29 and making over 300 apps is god awful. He's lazy as fuck, and he pisses me right off, but when he can be arsed he's a canny player. Shola could score Maradona's goal against England and people would say it was a fluke. The vast majority of fans have got it in for him. I was taakin to this kid at the reserves and he was saying when Shola scores he doesnt count it as a goal cos he hates his laziness that much, the fact is he's on occasion a fucking good player.

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I dont think saying we have 0 goalscorers is fair. The back of the net can be found by Ba, Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Barton(?)

I didn't say we had decent goalscorers last year either chez, we got lucky, especially for the return Nolan had and the half a season carroll performed for us... and ameobi and barton together only got 10 league goals between them ffs so i wouldn't be pinning your hopes on them. Your also forgetting a lot of ours were from set pieces or frankly drubbings that we are unlikely to repeat anytime soon, nevermind losing the distractions carroll and nolan cause at set pieces. Sorry but look back at all the IF's in your paragraph, if the midfielders chip in for 5+ each, if Ba with the dodgey knee gets over 10 If's don't cut it for 7th/8th place, Ifs are for mid-table/slightly over relegation teams. 2. One saying if we sign a striker / Erding and one saying if we dont. At present we are worse off but one striker makes us better off as hypothetically speaking (and this is not a formation) Ba, Erding, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cabaye, Barton / Jonas is a better attacking line up than last season. Edit - ok 3 ifs but the third one is about Ba doing what he has done for all of his career. Edited July 4, 2011 by ChezGiven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Despite his (very) inconsistent first touch, his poor injury record, his inability to play 90 mins (he's fucked after an hour), his poor aerial ability (especially given his height) and his questionable work rate I do have a little bit of time for Shola and can see where Stevie is coming from. The stick he gets at times is uncalled for as well which is probably where my soft spot for him stems for (along with his record against the mackems).

At every opportunity SBR would say "Shola is the future of Newcastle United", and it's always felt like he's carried a lot on his shoulders from a young age. I reckon three words "AH SHOLA MAN!!" will be said at least 150,000 times by the people in the ground on an average Saturday even when it's not his fault.

Guest alex Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 So basically we all think he's crap then but there's a touch of "awww come on look the poor wee souls trying...sort of" Basically Tbh, I blame the people in charge for keep giving him contracts. It's difficult to believe how long he's been at the club. KK is the only one who seems to have seen through him. Apparently he's awesome in training though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 At the end of the day I've been going to games since I was 7 years of age. 1985. I walk out the ground listening to arseholes talking wank like "Shola's the shitest striker av ever fokkin seen like the lazy cunt", when I could name 20-25 worse strikers I've seen for the toon than him.

He's demonised. Just because we've had some bad strikers it doesn't mean ameobi isn't also shite. Apart from the extremely rare snatch of skill which mugs think make a canny player, he is fucking useless. He's slow, can't head a ball to save his life, doesn't have a shot in either foot, fouls continually and clearly hasn't grasped the offside rule. Other than that.....
