Newcastle Vs City Post match Discussion Thread

Re: Dzeko yesterday

I thought he was AMAZING yesterday, the way he managed to not hit the target basting high and wide from about 10 yard was sensational.

Also, his first touch, which lead to a Newcastle thrown in, was top notch.
 
Re: Dzeko yesterday

He looked much stronger yesterday and didn't fall over as much as previously. I think that everyone would agree that the one thing this team lacks is width and explosive pace and assuming we get that over the summer then I reckon he's worth another season as he will thrive much more with pacy wingers in the squad. This is a time for as much continuity as possible.

He's got to start bullying centre-halves much more and needs to bulk up a little imo. I think there's a much better player in there trying to get out, but he'll be drinking at the last chance saloon next season, that's for sure.

u must be one frustrating sad person with nothing in life to be proud of so u just troll around here

usually I'd care if any1 wrote something like that but we're a week away from winning the title so I dont a shit what trolls like u write
 
Re: Dzeko yesterday

He is a quality striker, maybe not the smoothest in his build up but the guy is a goalscorer.

I dont think he fits well in our current system, he needs support from a winger who will constantly but the ball into the box, if we dont get one in the summer then we or Edin won't benefit.

Hes lost his confidence, and you could see it yesterday. He can't hold the ball up and looks like he has no strength.

But if it wasn't for his goals, especially the 4 against the spuds then the title would be much closer.

Dzeko, I thank you

Don't forget the two in "Fergietime" at the swamp - worth half of our 8 goal difference advantage!

But to be fair, he's right. Dzeko was average at best yesterday<br /><br />-- Mon May 07, 2012 9:58 am --<br /><br />

Tbf almost every club had its scummy element in those days, including City. I thought they were fine today, passionate about their team and trying to put our players off with the booing.
you are right but i cant remember City Fans leaving a match early in there thousands to storm an away end hiting everyone one in sight & forcing women & kids to flee for there lives but as i said am glad times have changed & pleased they got on so well with City fans today


That was Middlesboro at Maine Road.
-
***Ye' I do remember it being Middlesbrough actually-if it's the same occasion? They were absolute "scum" attacking anyone in their path-including Junior Blues, in the old North Stand-shortly after the start of the match (about 20minutes in!). They had already been into the Sherwood Pub and battered old men in there and wrecked the pub. Disgraceful excuses for football fans.

I have been everywhere, historically, and generally in the home team end-to base an honest and balanced opinion on the "quality" of the real fans - just 'cause I want to really. Have been to nearly every ground in the Premier and Championshipship doing that - since the 1970's. My considered and unbiased findings, unquestionably the most biased and nasty, and generally horrible support was Liverpool then Everton - never admitting their own team or club's shortcomings and blaming others always (never their fault like!) The most passionate by far and away - Newcastle United. Very knowledgeable and generally nice people with great hearts. As per being human beings, there are exceptions, as there are in our ground mind, to be fair!

Proudest moment, speaking as a City fan, was when Arsenal gave us a footballing master-class lesson at Maine Road-think they won 4.0. We gave them a standing ovation and sang stand up for the Champions. The Arsenal players reciprocated at the end of the game and went round the pitch and clapped us. Martin Keown, whom was playing for AFC, was quoted years later as saying that he considered City fans as being the most knowledgeable in the game. Quality and a great testament to us as fans.

Thanks Geordies!!!
 
Re: What did you do when Yaya scored?

Went in the local pub with the better half, commenced getting pissed to calm my nerves, couldn't contain the nerves so I went outside to have a cig. Heard a scream of joy from a Bolton fan in the vault and sprinted back into the pub screaming like a lunatic....... All the rags looked at me like a twat...... Then Sergio breaks through.... Hemust score I thought, with that picture in my mind I closed my eyes raised my arms and screamed....get the fook in ( only to hear " he missed you prick"lol but boy did I make up for it when number 2 went in.....oh happy day

[I don't understand what's the fun in watching the game in other team's end.. what's the point of watching it if you can't scream when your team score, specially in tense match like this one was

It is about being there but i must admit it is tough.I was in the Blackburn end when we won promotion and i was sussed out about 5 minutes into the game.It is easy,you don't sing or get behind the home team like everyone else around you.

To be fair they were ok but loving it when we were losing.Funnily enough the guy to my left was a blue as well keeping quiet we were busting a gut when we started scoring trying to not go mad,lol!
 
Re: Dzeko yesterday

Don't forget his goal at Wigan away - they turned out to be three massive points
 
Re: What did you do when Yaya scored?

Just got back from the paper shop and bumped into a neighbour from down the road. He was out in the garden yesterday afternoon and said he could hear me cheering from down there.

Brilliant.

Apart from the odd booing, the ill-advised "where were you when you were shit", the two fingered salute and moving wrist gestures when we scored - they were great. It's all pantomime I guess.

The incessant booing lasted for ever. I thought they were true football fans. I remember being at Maine Road and Arsenal were 4-0 up inside 20 minuets. I stayed to the end and applauded their footballing skills. I look back on that game and say to myself I was privileged to watch a world class team. I didn't boo! Newcastle fans are just a bag of shit to me now done and dusted.

The booing started because of the dirty tackles, it wasn't some anti-City conspiracy. It didn't prevent me from coming home from the game with no voice after singing my heart out. The majority of us want City to win the title.

If we were on the receiving end of some of those tackles out our place, our reaction would've been exactly the same.

Well done Newcastle, top set of supporters. Hope you get third!
 
That block from Richards

What a block yesterday from Richards that look certain it was going in the net. He was prepared to get a whack if the face and also the way he dived with his arms behind his back to make sure he would not give a penalty away. That was a terry butcher, Andy Morrison moment for me. That guy will do anything for our club.

Richards your a legend fella, i salute you !

If only he'd come through the youth system we haven't got.
