Sports Direct FC vs Willy Cheat Again?

[OTF 7295]

In a match described world wide by pundits as happening in China, the north east giants Newcastle United take on the West Midlands behemoths Wolverhampton Wanderers. It's a battle for the ultimate victory, over 90 or thereabouts confirmed minutes of regulation football.

 

The whole of Nanjing either will or won't be on the edge of their seats in anticipation for what many supporters could be calling the biggest football match to be happening at that precise moment in time in Nanjing China. Old scores will be settled at the Olympic Sports Centre, scores like 1-1 and 1-2 come to mind. Early team news suggests that it will be some arrangement of 11 vs another arrangement of 11 in this key football match as both teams lock horns in determining who will be the winner, if indeed there is one.

 

This is being shown live on Sky and on several of the major football showing networks around the world, including the one that I have, so I will be watching this at the prime time of 8PM local time in Sydney, Australia. I'm prepared to be dazzled.

No doubt the entire team will have been given a huge boost by Bruce's appointment. I'm expecting a Robson style 8-0 rout of the orange bastards.

In a similar vein, I'm expecting us to re-sign Paul Robinson.

His song is a great one.

 

Back to team news, Lazaar and Colback start.

[Sonatine 11377]

Colback....

 

[Howay 12496]

 They surely have to be trying to piss off the fan base now. 

[OTF 7295]

0-1 down. About what you'd expect in a pre-season game, it's slow and we're second best.

[trooper 940]

Colback starting & the shirt looks like it has SD on it's in Chinese writing so may not say that but its definitely been made to look like it

[Diego21 2135]

I am stronger than Lazaar

[Ayatollah Hermione 13867]

Just thinking that nobody is going to want to buy this shit but we have to sell players to balance the squad so we’re going to be left with these when Schar, Hayden, Dubravka etc leave

FITE!

 

After some terrible defending we conceded a second, I can't tell and don't really care whether it was a good finish or just Karl Darlow standing in the wrong spot.

 

And we've just conceded another with some even worse defending. Jota tackled a dallying Hayden in the middle of our box and slotted it home.

[Diego21 2135]

3-0. Hayden is sleeping.

[ewerk 30610]

A taste of things to come.  

[Dr Gloom 21923]

i'm not surprised the players aren't trying - no one will want to pick up an injury and risk their chances of getting a move away from the sinking ship

Buoyed by the announcement of their new manager they're eager to impress.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.... it's Michael Owen in the studio.

A great bunch of lads.

[Howay 12496]

 This lot are poised to really kick it up a level once our new manager comes in with all of his fresh, and exciting coaching methods. 

 

Nowt like adding 2-3 players who the previous manager decided were not up to the below PL level of the majority of the rest of the squad back into the fold. That’s really going to see us kick on.

 

Morgan Gibbs-White scored against us, I assume the House of Lords took a break so he could come over and slot one past our shambles with a name like that.

We've put one in the back of the net finally.

0-4

[trophyshy 7083]

Bruce out. 

[trooper 940]

[OTF 7295]

0-4 at the end, we were largely terrible, second best, second rate.

 

Before the match Tim Sherwood was trying to make a point that Rafa couldn't get the best out of his players because he didn't think they were any good, and therefore Bruce will be able to get more out of some of our players. Newsflash Tim, the players aren't any good.
