[Happy Face 29]

I went to school with him. Lived in Wallsend all his life, and lived 3 doors down from me. This photo was put up in the changing rooms at school for years.

 

He still gets it brought up to this day, the poor cunt.

quality tale.

 

One thing that struck me about Ba when he came on on Saturday was how much he looks like Bubba off Forrest Gump. He narf does. I'd like to see Pards go back to 4 4 2 on Saturday though, and attack Fulham we can beat them, if we do it's probably our best start to a Premiership season for ten years.

 

1995 - 9 points from the first 3 games.

 

Never managed more than 6 since.

 

Stat-tacular.

He never came on, on saturday, did he? Seen him ready to come on but then the ball went out for a throw and we took it quick before Webb the whistler blew for Full-time. Think Pardew just wanted Shola to get his heroes reception as he left the field.

I remember him standing beside the 4th official, did he not come on? Pissed man. He still looks like Bubba though.

Thought Obertan was wank. Totally absent first half. One of the lad's talked him up saying he was creating space off the ball, but I never saw any of that on the TV. Happy to be corrected. Saw a bit more of the ball second half, but nowt effective. Lot happier with the solid show from Cabaye.

 

Obertan should not be underestimed though, he could be a Nani type of player given he has a manager who dares to experiment with the team.

 

I quite like what he shows in his games for ManU, seems very skilled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FLsaPilQVg, along with Ben Arfa and Marveaux we certainly have the potential to be seriously magic on the midfield

 

HF can you put that in the prediction thread please?

Not writing him off at all. He's a young lad...I realise he might have played a couple of low key Champions League games, but I think in terms of experience, the derby might have been a bit much for him to come out of the traps flying.

Not only do we have the victory, we also have the moral high ground seeing as we didn't need to resort to some of their underhand tactics. I know Bagpuss comes across as all sweetness and light to the media but it wouldn't surprise me if he sent them out to kick the shit out of us the sly fucker.

 

Best thing abut work today is that I've said fuck all to the 2 mackems I work with, as this annoys them far more. They can sit and stew all day and wait for the abuse, hurts them far more!

[Kitman 2207]

I wonder if Mrs Doubtfire will ever get to play that music for the victory at the SOL. There's every chance that before next season he'll have been sacked by Short or his liver will spontaneously explode. Or both.

It'd be a hollow fucking gesture to play some daft song now after the torture we've given him. Until he's won by by 5 then he should remain shame faced....which won't be dificult given how red his massive boat is at the best of times.

My mackem tormentor in chief from last week has just shame-faced admitted that they are indeed still nowt more than lower midtable shite despite the millions spent this summer...he also said that theyve only won 2 from the last 19 games! Doubtfires out of a job in two games if this continues...dont know if the stat is right or not or who they play next, the inbred cunt wasnt hanging about for a wider debate :-D

[Guest alex]

Quick check reveals it's 3 out of their last 16 (in the league).

[Christmas Tree 4857]

ALAN PARDEW was not sure what would be thrown at him every time he bumped into a member of the Toon Army.

Anything from Newcastle's lack of strikers to how he was perceived as simply a PR man for owner Mike Ashley were just some of the offerings.

 

But after a flash of Ryan Taylor's magic right boot and some terrific tactical know-how floored rival boss Steve Bruce, Pards was the toast of Tyneside.

 

There were no negative jibes after this triumph. It was deserved back-slaps and high fives all round for the Toon chief.

 

OK, so it will be a while yet before Pardew sees his name permanently up in lights.

 

His boys were hardly world-beaters here, with Sunderland looking the more lively early on.

 

They still need a frontman. They still need to spend some money.

 

Yet the spirit which most Geordies thought had gone down the plughole was there for all to see.

 

This was a gritty, courageous, battling display, sprinkled with enough quality to do the job.

 

It was a day which will live long in the memory at St James' Park and, for that, Pardew deserves a lot of credit.

 

He totally outwitted poor old Brucie in his own backyard, changing the visitors' shape in the second half to leave the Black Cats gaffer gasping for air. The only way he responded to Pardew pushing five into midfield was to end up with four strikers on the pitch - including a raw-looking Connor Wickham and South Korean Ji-Dong Won. It did not work.

 

Newcastle had a firm grip of the game, while the home side alarmingly lost theirs.

 

Instead of looking to get back into a clash rapidly slipping away from them, it seemed Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley were caught up in a private race to see who would get red-carded first. Bardsley won that little duel with a crude challenge on Fabricio Coloccini which simply summed up another nightmare derby day for Bruce.

 

Remember, he is the one who has spent big, doing the kind of business Pardew would love to get involved in right now.

 

Yet when it came down to it, good old-fashioned managerial skills won the day for the Black and Whites.

 

Pards must have felt 20 feet tall as he made it just one defeat for the Magpies on Wearside in 31 years.

 

He declared: "I always get people saying things to me, whether it is something negative like, 'Sign a striker, Pardew' or whatever. But you just sense the passion and have to love that.

 

"I have been at clubs who don't have it. It's an ingredient you try to instil in your team but you get it from the terraces at times.

 

"Here it is generated by our city. Wherever the players go, they'll be reminded of Newcastle.

 

"I will go out on the town, of course I will. Anyway, it is Steve Stone's 40th birthday and he owes me a drink. This win is brilliant for me and my staff. We are quite close-knit.

 

"John Carver thinks he has done about 12 of these games and was like a little boy here. I didn't understand what he was saying some of the time. He was just so emotionally involved."

 

Passion was bursting from the stands, together with a lot of head scratching early on.

 

Ref Howard Webb somehow missed Seb Larsson pushing away Joey Barton's flicked header with his hand.

 

But the Black Cats, through little livewire Stephane Sessegnon, were bang on top.

 

Yet, just as against Arsenal last week, the Toon were indebted to a stellar defensive display from Coloccini and Steven Taylor. Both were immense and set the stall for left-back Ryan Taylor to float a 62nd-minute free-kick high into the net.

 

Sunderland keeper Simon Mignolet got his positioning wrong but the travelling Geordies did not care a jot as they went bonkers.

 

It put a smile on the face of birthday boy Taylor.

 

 

He said: "It is not nice spending your birthday in a hotel away from the missus when she is about to give birth.

 

"But what a birthday present that was.

 

"That one was for the little bump in her belly."

 

It was for Pardew, too. Bigtime.

Our work Mackem has been saying Bruce will have to go.

 

2 games in man...and one of them they got a point away to big spending title contenders Liverpool

[Guest alex]

I wouldn't care but they won three games towards the end of last season in order to finish above us (something they were all buzzing about).

[Kitman 2207]

2 wins in 19 is terrible

2 wins in 19 is terrible

It would be, it's 3 in their last 7 / 16 though Depending on how positive or negative you want the stats to look.

[McFaul 35]

In my life time, that is unquestionably the worst NUFC team I've seen. They were awful. I hear a lot of credit for Pardew and his game plan, but they were very lucky in the first half not to be 2 or 3 down. Had they been, they'd not have come back. We have only ourselves to blame for not at least getting a draw from that game (and Bruce in particular, for his utterly dreadful and far too late coming substitutions). Given how awful they were, I should feel worse, but maybe part of the reason I feel better is that I'm fairly safe in the knowledge that we have a much better team and squad than them.

.....AND WE still fuckin won you arsehole. They've been saying for months this is the greatest squad they've had in the modern era, and now they're saying this is our worst, yet we still fucking won :icon_lol: <_< . Deservedly won. Our worst side ever (not quite mind) and we still beat them tell me what that says about this Wilkinsons/Netto/Lidl like club?

I suppose the Larsson non-penalty/red card was another example of how lucky we were first half. Honestly, they dominated first 20 minutes but even then they didn't create much.

Ignoring Larrson's handball incident for just a second. Which chance did they have that wasn't a routine save for Krul? I don't remember him ever being stretched, lets not forget Gyan's shot was miles off target & both of Sessengon's shots weren't any trouble at all - much like Cabaye's shot - pretty to look at & exciting but a premier league keeper - unless it's De Gea - will save them 99% of them time.

 

If we are going to play his game Gosling should have scored, that's 0-2, Barton's was an inch offside 0-3, Barton's header should have gone in & Larrson should have been off - 0-4 but that's not the way football works is it? But I will say this - those chances were better than any that they had in the entire game. Hence why we had twice as many shots on target as them & they had five times as many shots off target then us - they were just hitting & hoping from outside the box half the time.

 

They keep going on about their better team -but we are yet to see it & I'm sure the rest of the premier league are closer to our opinion than theirs.

 

A good 20 minutes with no real chances doesn't win you a game.

They had the one off the top of the bar which never looked like going in, but their best chance wasn't even a shot, was one in the first half where a good side would've scored from, Simpson (England's next right back in his own mind by the way) miles out of position Taylor got dragged right over to their left, and it was a lovely ball in, but not one of their strikers/midfielders made the routine run that would've seen a goal. THAT was their best chance. Arsenal prove you can have 70% of the ball, and Sunderland certainly didn't, but if you do fuck all with it what's the point. Like a pornstar with a 12 inch cock who can't get a hard on.

[Tom 14015]

Exactly & I'd say the three or four chances we had I mentioned above were much better chances.

 

They are just making excuses, they should have been down to 8 men.

The single thing they did better than us yesterday - once the obvious home pressure had elapsed - was kick us off the park.

 

Cattermole & Bardsley are thugs.
