Shola Activity

Newcastle have won game to nil this year, (Due to Bournemouth missing from everywhere)
Chancel Mbemba has given away four goals in Newcastle's last three games.
Terrific officiating.
Very brave for the linesman to not give that. He got to be 100% sure!
By Shedender | On 28 January 2016 - 11:36 AM GMTExcept for Shola, he's probably distraught.
I reckon we'd have points if Williamson played every game aside Colo than Mbemba.

I reckon 90% of managers name the lineup, the formation, and give basic tactical instructions - such as when/who to press and a basic gameplan ie cross more as the striker has the beating of their centre backs.
I doubt it's even possible to communic...
Actually you know what's worse than 'enganche' etc. -'Distribution' - when did passing or kicking become 'distribution'. And why do some people rate it so highly? - how many goals does a keeper contribute towards by havi...
Klopp celebrating a defeat to Stoke ??!?
By BR. | On 26 January 2016 - 13:46 PM GMT£24m on Shelvey and Townsend is miles too much but they seem more like the kind of player that Newcastle should be going for. It was obvious that Cabella and Thauvin were going to fail. Especially Thauvin, I...
By Ninja | On 24 January 2016 - 16:21 PM GMTJohn Stones probably is over-rated but its not hard to see why, can't think of many centre-backs as well rounded as he is. And whilst he's still got a way to go, he's 21 after all, I can't se...
Enganche is just an Argentinean style attacking midfielder - Riquelme is normally used as the example.
OK yeah fair enough, very few are backing McClaren - but I just find these nuggets too delusional;
"To be honest I find SM saying what he has t...
This season is just a 10/10.
The NUFC megafans - still blaming Pardew for this. Still praising McClaren. Blaming Dummett for yesterday. Still think Mitrogoals and Gini are great players. I'm excited for next season, when we're playing Hudders...
By Number 1 | On 23 January 2016 - 17:43 PM GMTYeah there's something lacking coherence tactically with his decision making, and its very odd that an injury to Paul Dummett of all people means we have to go for a destabilising personnel and tactical...
Steve McClaren's tactics are actually baffling. When Newcastle lost five in a row he kept it the same. When Newcastle win he changes it.
Seemed to start with a back four, plays well, then swaps to a back five with two deep midfielders. So basically...
If we're buying a defender it should be at CB to partner Colo.....
By Poe | On 22 January 2016 - 11:49 AM GMTCan't put out a back four at the weekend but were well stocked in defence so don't need to buy any.
Hmm.
Absolutely irresponsible not having a 4th choice left back.
Not like in our last two games we...
How do you come to these figures? 1 year ago Newcastle were in the top 10 and now they need to spend around £130m to get into the top down. The PL has improved by £130m? How many 'Premier League' players do Crystal Palace have? How m...
Jesus, Newcastle have spent £70m ffs. And £45m for two somewhat unproven players is a bit steep.
By Jonas | On 20 January 2016 - 07:30 AM GMTWhen you sign someone like Nordin Amrabat for a club record £6m it's almost as if you deserve to go down, lol.
But will he be better than Nordin Wooter?
How does a team sign two players called Nordi...
Norwich taking a bit of a risk signing two random Euro-defenders.
Looking at the table Palace and Watford probably have a bit too many points to get dragged in. And I have faith in Pulis to drag 3 wins and 3 draws while playing awfully.
Chronicle seem to be hinting at Lacazette. Hmmm.
Anyone heard the rumours about Nathan Dyer and Swansea's majority shareholder. Such a well run club if true.

Yeah, pplus people don't really get the concept of 'minimum of'.
Newcastle actually played class today. Wijnaldum was actually playing like the player people say he is. Shelvey was incredible for the first half. His highlights package on M...

Look at the state of this. Embarrassing how the Chronicle sticks up for their mates. Carr and Charnley are top Geordies. Who love to give us a news...
Mitrovic prefers his banter in the form of missing chances. Banter.
Kieron Dyer fucking injured himself when one of them training poles poked him in the eye iirc. Also Kieron Dyer doesn't seem to get enough credit, I think he's up there with HB...
Crazy people want rid of Tiote. He's our best midfielder when he's fit.

Sunderland really chancing it this year with an injury prone defender and a badly out of form striker his only additions (if you believe him).
That said still the chance of them managing to offload Lens or Fletcher and go from there.
Literally though he was a former Arsenal youth player until we were linked with him.
After the last 3/4 quality players we've added, doing nothing is probably the best policy.
Journalists think money is available and players will be signed. Seems Shelvey is most likely. Think he'll be another disaster - if a club who's in relegation trouble are willing to sell to a rival relatively cheaply alarm bell should be ringing...
Surely Man Utd look like a shite Dutch team, rather than a shite Barcelona?
Cisse's a goalscorer though, if we supply him with chances he'll score. Everyone was going mental when Mitrovic and Perez were dropped even though Newcastle won both games. They've lost them all since they were reinstated.
I think it would be a massive disaster but I would love Andy Carroll back.
Looks like Newcastle desperately need a striker or Cisse back. Mitrovic and Perez just don't seem good enough.
I haven't heard his name mentioned on the radio since the 50th minute so....
By Shola | On 09 January 2016 - 09:24 AM GMTIt's not up to me but yes. Every team should try and win every game, as winning can be a habit.

Anyway the Chronicle is being a bit weird with our transfers.
If we're linked with a lesser player like Afobe etc. they say that Newcastle are 'aiming higher' - but they don't seem to put any names forward.
It's not up to me but yes. Every team should try and win every game, as winning can be a habit.
Anyway I'm looking forward to the usual of putting out a strongish team and getting beat of a side playing a very weakened team. And then hearing ab...
Yeah exactly my point. Oxlade Chamberlain and Flamini did far, far worse fouls on Saturday then Mitrovic's.
But the referee didn't even consider sending either player off.
Really?
By criticising a referees performance and dragging their name through the mud a referees career can suffer. Not getting the big matches, demotion, not going to the World Cup etc. Its beneficial for a referee to take the easy way out. Politicking...
Yeah, trying to coerce an advantage is totally moral and befitting a classy club.
By Carroll. | On 04 January 2016 - 23:53 PM GMTGot to say, they deserve to go down. I know I say this a lot, but they have some absolute tossers of fans. And a big majority of them. Went to a couple Villa games last year and the impatience and stuck upnes...

Arsenal and Wenger hate Chelsea and Mourinho because deep down they know they're the same. Wenger knows he's every bit as classless and undignified as Mourinho, he just won't admit it.

By Poe | On 03 January 2016 - 16:01 PM GMTWe've raised our game like that against Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd already this season, I'm not holding much hope.

How good actually are Blackburn? A quick browse through the squad and aside from Rhodes, Guthrie (who I assume is probably playing awfully), and maybe Marshall, there seems to be an acute lack of talent. Did anything ever come for Henley, Lowe or Hanley?...
tbf I though yesterday was more of a 'turn the corner then any other' - we actually controlled a game for large parts, and looked comfortable something we haven't done this season.
Wijnaldum actually was very good in AMC/CM. Tiote and Colb...
Urgh. Arsenal again. How Oxlade Chamberlain and Flamini weren't sent off I'll never know. Monreal deserves a lengthy ban as well. Got a push in the back from Sissoko and went down holding his face. Referees need to start standing up to Wenger, h...
Grealish, Gil, Cissokho, Bacuna in midfield and Kozak on the bench. Ringing the changes.
