What fans must understand is that each new paintbrush attack helps Mike Ashley, the story goes all around the media and tinternet with almost all of them mentioning that other name as well as St.James’ Park.
I believe 15 goals from Ba & Cissé would give NUFC 5th or 6th place.
20 goals from the strike pair could well guarantee 4th, it is a big ask but I think we have potentially the most exciting strikeforce in the Premier League.
Newcastle United are taking a minimal number of away tickets and making a joke of the reputation the travelling fans have always had.
This must be reversed as it is critical to the long-term health of NUFC.
I just feel fans have been harsh on Obertan and have rarely seen a young player hounded like this at Newcastle. At the end of the day we’re meant to support our team and the players that play there.
Newcastle United, your favourite pub, beer, the wife (husband!) – what would you miss most if you found yourself living thousands of miles away from St.james’ Park?
In days gone by, moving abroad was a pretty big deal if you had black & white blood.
With the advent of Twitter, Tinternet and worldwide TV rights, is it an easier choice now?
What’s your experience?
The club appear not to have directly replaced Dennis Wise but Chief Scout, Graham Carr, certainly seems to have a more pivotal role than that title would imply at other Premier League clubs.
Positive reports abound out of St.James’ Park when it comes to Carr’s role and the captures of Cabaye and Tiote are his headline news.
This Summer saw an escalation of our French recruitment drive with Yohan Cabaye spectacularly leading the way to Newcastle United.
In seasons gone by it has been the fashion to look at foreign players (especially French ones!) as a bit dodgy in the commitment stakes, Vive La Difference!
So have Mike Ashley & Derek Llambias reinvented the (football) wheel, or have the lads had a kind set of opening fixture, carried some luck and actually played some pretty good football?
