*Sorry in advance for Ripper

 

[Tummy]

I got the dates wrong on the title

 

[Tummy]

Noob.

I don't know why but I'm worried about Ipswich v Newcastle. We should beat them on paper but I'm still a bit nervy. Harewood in the squad though and hopefully all should go to plan i.e. big win and Keano gets his P45 Monday morning.

wouldn't wanna be the one to give him his P45

 

[Tummy]

I'm going for a massive united Win over stoke this saturday, I'm entirely convinced of this.

A throughly convincing 0-0 thrashing.

seeing how Stoke had the most time added on at at home last season

Owen winner in the 97th minute

Wednesday should be able to easy past Cardiff, we need to sort out our defensive errors and quickly, they've cost us the last two games.

 

[Tummy]

Whats wrong with Sheffield United fans ? eh? Lost one game away to Swansea, and on BBC Radio Sheffield, it was sack the manager, sell the team, close the ground. They've only lost two sodding games all season.

Wednesday, paved over the defensive frailties to be honest, Purse still looked very suspect in defense, and got out of jail with a offside. The defense were let off again soon after, some bad defending and another offside saved them scoring again.

Going forward (second half) was much better, controlled the game, were really good in attack, could have been 6/7 instead of 3.

Pleased over all, still think were a bit poor in defense.

What happened to Chelsea?

I'm not on about pretty football, I'm on about effective football, our football hasn't always been effective (see Blackpool mainly).

What are you on about? effective football? Newcastle have drawn one game and lost one game, You've conceded 4 goals, have the best goal difference in the league, won 7 out of 9? so far, I'd say that's pretty effective.

The Championship is a very tough league, so far, I'd be over the ****ing moon with that start if I were a Newcastle fan, considering how **** off the pitch matters seem to be.

 

[Tummy]

It's the same bunch everytime we lose. I have learnt to pretend they don't exist, otherwise I'd end up killing one/them.

Blackwell isn't my favourite person, never has been - never will be. But he is doing a decent job so leave him be.

You've had a good start to the season to be honest, I'd have thought that this was always going to be a hard game, well which ever game you played after you played us. We lost after we beat you last season.

Bahh, fickle football fans. Unfortunately most clubs have them, was shocking to hear them come out and really slate the team like that.

Blackwell out, sell players, what was funny, was that a lot of the players that the fans were asking for had started this game, you lost and then "oh they're **** and he shouldn't pick them".

 

[Tummy]

Our football has been terrible and we've been lucky in loads of games.

You are winning. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Newcastle, are playing effective football, you're winning, you're top of the league, maybe if you start drawing and losing you might need to change your style. At the moment, you're easing past teams, and from what I see (your on telly a lot ) playing quite well, and from what family that watch you have said that its not too bad.

Don't complain when your winning, you'll sound like DM.

 

[Tummy]

Was a good game, both sides just went at each other tooth and nail to be honest. Wolves will probably be feeling **** about losing the game.

Hull are awful, they were for the second half of last season.

 

[Tummy]

Torres is a good forward, best in the world? mmm not so sure. He's right up there though.

Nani is alright, nothing special yet, looks a lot like Ronaldo looked when he started out, and lets face it, he didn't turn out too bad.

 

[Tummy]

For getting Eto'o?

The man has an incredibly scoring record, and is a real quality striker. Alright might not be too popular off the pitch ( Barcelona couldn't wait to get rid of him ) but that man knows how to score.

 

[Tummy]

I dunno about Eto'o

Torres>>Etoo

Before you claim that a player is the "best in the world" in X position, you've got to look at who that player is up against in that position. So take the best players from that position and then make your decision, don't just base it on a handful of good games, that's what the media is for.

I'm not saying Torres isn't (don't burn me) I'm just saying, there are a lot of good players out there

 

[Tummy]

For having such an awful standard of defending, Spain did quite well in the Euro's

 

[Tummy]

Looking forward to Drogba vs Torres next weekend, now we'll see who the daddy is.

I think it's 100% down to which defense can play better, Drogba + Torres I expect to be going in to this game at full speed and want to prove something.
