BPL Match 10: Newcastle United Vs Dirty Mackems, Oct. 31st [R]

(posted courtesy of another fine blog)

 

Man oh man is this a big one. Not only does it tell the future of our club in this league, but it could very well hold the fate of one Chris Hughton.

I'd imagine we go with a 4-4-2 with AC and Ameobi up top, and the usual suspects in the middle of the park. Barton Tiote, Jonas and Nolan again on the wings. Same back four as usual.

Going to need a big match from all our lads, and probably a big performance from one of the two up top.

Last time this fixture was being played I had to watch it in the Netherlands. Wish I were back there for this one too...probably not going to be able to catch it live.

Howay the lads!

 

Hughton isn't going anywhere.

 

I tend to agree, he seems to get along well with Ashley (ie Ashley doesn't get much stick from him) and he did incredibly well last season. But a loss at home this weekend and one or two more bad results and you never know. Modern football is nuts.

 

Hey, where is the pic of monkeys in the Mackems jersey? I thought that was a stable for these derby matches?!?!?!

So looking forward to this. Hoping I can find a stream tomorrow. Gonna be so pissed if I can't.

 

Just for you...

 

Simpson's alert play transitioning into attack, and then playing a decent ball into Carroll, reallly highlights Perch's limitations.

 

Nolan with the cheeky bicycle!

 

OH WHAT A GOAL!

With a bicycle kick while laying on his back, Nolan lobs the keeper and puts us up 1-0.

 

Who needs Brazilians when we have Nolan?

 

Nolan will never get an easier goal than that second one!

 

Make that two for Captain Nolan.

Great off the ball check by an offside Shola to keep a defender off of Nolan.

 

But, Nolan desperately needs dancing lessons... Something hot and salsa flavoured to celebrtate a derby brace is in order.

 

Nolan tied with Drogba and Berbs for goals. Huh, who'd a thunk?

 

Weak cards this guy is handing out, well that one on the Carroll foul wasn't but the Malbranque and Simpson were weakkkkkkkkk

 

Life is wonderful!!

 

I thought Jonas flopped but that was a good penalty call.

Shola comes close to putting it outside the goal but manages not to ******** it up.

 

Sham-eobi should have let Nolan get the hat trick and take that PK.


Loving the 3-0 HT lead, but that was a weak PK call. This guy is calling ticky tacky stuff.

 

He must have figured it out because I'm shocked their wasn't a card on the penalty.

 

anyone has a feed?

 

Not a week penalty when you see it from behind. He clearly tripped him in the box. Absolutely the right call. Shitty defending.

3-0 to the Toon!

God, this feels good.

Nice to see someone elses team absolutely fall apart for a change!

3 - 0 into the half, now would be the time to bring on Ranger/Vukcic. Any cards they get would be meaningless, and the experience would be invaluable. Too bad Vukcic isn't on the bench.

Krul is getting great experience.
When Harper is back fit, he will have a fight on his hands to get back in the team, especially if we are in the right half of the table. If Krul gets benched automaticlly, he will have every right to seek another team.

 

thanks!
