Alkaline Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) It's just a lazy generalisation formed mainly by people who's main exposure to Newcastle supporters is the waft of zombies they interview on Sky.All we wish for is a team to be proud of, nothing more. And I do say that objectively. I'm making my main judgement on your input on here Seriously though, being proud of your team is a given. Ups and downs, I guess you lot are just on a bit of a down right now. Not sure what it'll take (apart from Ashley stepping down and selling the club to someone who is interested in football and not just money) to solve that rot though.

ca_gere Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Viera in management and Berbatov back in the prem... those are my two wants for this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Newcastle could do a lot worse than making Berba player-manager. Keepy-ups for an hour 11am-noon before a tactical session over some cheese and wine, and massages in the smoking room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 So Sterling to Man U? I sent a message to a mate about a month ago saying that I would absolutely love it if this transfer happened. Imagine the seethe! Liverpool would melt down.

Soda Jerk Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Liverpool haven't sold a player directly to United since 1934. And a player hasn't moved in the opposite way since the 60s. I can't see it happening. United would have to wait until his contract is up and snag him for free, but I think Liverpool will force him elsewhere before letting that happen. I'd say even City, Arsenal or Chelsea would be preferable to Liverpool than United. Especially after United did all they could to stop Gabriel Heinze going there back in 2007, even though Heinze pleaded to the club to accept Liverpool's bid. The fans will turn on him if he comes out and admits he wants to move to United. So far it's just newspaper talk, and no actual quotes from him, or anyone. Impossible, IMO.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 If United bid substantially more than anyone else then surely Liverpool would see the business sense in letting him go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) The Champions League final is tomorrow. So here's a picture of Andrea Pirlo holding an axe. Edited June 5, 2015 by Soda van Jerk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Somehow Pirlo looks scruffier in a shirt and tie than he does in a juve kit at the end of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Barca. Worthy winners. Not the result I wanted. Paddy Evra deserved another medal. 5 finals and 4 losses. Tragic. And Suarez winning anything is abhorrent, the racist, spitting, biting shithawk. They deserved it though. Iniesta and Rakitic were superb. Not vintage Messi, but he was still very good. That front 3 is just too good, even if two of them are bellends. Buffon made some ridiculous saves as well. I thought Juventus should have had a penalty, when Alves slammed and pinned Pogba for 3 count to become the #1 contender at Wrestlemania. Juventus should have had a free kick right on the edge of the area as well, which Pirlo would have scored, because Pirlo. Pirlo and Evra's tears at the end were heartbreaking. Pogba was consoling both of them. Complete role reversal. It was quite a scene. Football is over. Now what do we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Copa America and under 21 euros will keep things going nicely. I didn't think the final last night was that great of a game but it at least stated a contest for most of the match which I thought it might not after the early goal.

ca_gere Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I've watched a few U20 toulon tournament games. That lad Grimes for England looks a player. Chuba akpom is a man playing among boys too. A bit of 1 on 1 time with Henry and he'll be a hell of a player.There are only ever about 10 people in the stadiums so you can hear the players and management shooting at each other which is pretty great.

Alkaline Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Can we discuss Yannick Bolasie?I'll start: Yannick Bolasie is an outrageously fun footballer to watch. Totally agree, it's like the ball is sometimes a repellent yet attracting force with his foot and there always seems to be a buffer of air between the two. He moves like butter dripping off a hot knife too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 All of that perfectly describes Wilfried Zaha on the other flank as well. Zaha has never been in full control of a football in his life. It always looks like he is on the cusp of being dispossessed. Then he pulls out a (totally pointless) pirouette, nutmegging the full back with the second motion. Both of them are like a pair of matadors. Entice the defender with a ball that appears to be totally up for grabs, then pull it out of their reach right at the last. If they get Loic Remy, they'd have a pretty wild front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slaven Bilic were wearing that he'd look cool too. Actually maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
