Newcastle United vs West Ham extended match highlights and post match interviews
Posted on November 11th, 2012 | 30 Comments |
Highlights of the game between Newcastle United and West Ham United at St James’ Park, though I use the words “highlights” in the loosest possible sense!
Of course, it was also in the script that either be Kevin Nolan or Andy Carroll would score a winning goal, and it turned out to be the former. Not a good day at the office at all for the Grey Gaffer in a game which was excruciating to watch at times. Actually, forget the “at times,” it was just excruciating to watch full stop!

Poll
billed beforehand as the, “BATTLE OF THE LONG BALL”, when it came down to it, there was only going to be one winner.
fat sham is what he is, and at stoke you have tony pulis.
the difference is though, tony and sam, get the players to play that style of aerial bombardment football.
alan pardew is trying to force that very style upon a largely continental squad, at newcastle.
fair enough play long ball football, but make sure you have the personnel, to execute it.
players like cabaye, ben arfa, and the two demba’s up, are players who like the ball into feet.
pardew is persisting with this crap, with disasterous results.
today was shocking, and we lacked any kind of ideas, from the first whistle.
i’ve looked a few other blogs, and people are now starting to see, “mr generic” pardew, isn’t what he’s cracked up to be.
the worrying thing is, we have been crap since the first day of the season, but non of the problems and issues, we have, are being addressed.
we just seem to be carrying on down the same path, and no one is saying anything.
we cannot string three passes together, we rarely create anything, there are very few shots on target, pardew cannot seem to motivate the team, to up their tempo.
we have two strikers, who are identical, and dont work together.
we continually give the ball away, to the opposition, and lack any kind of plan.
i’m going to love what excuses, he’ll come up with, for today’s shambles.
no doubt it will start with, “i fowt we wuz”, the bloke is seriously deluded, and the owner is deluded, and the gimp, llambias is also.
we are now paying the price for the lack of investment, shortsighted managerial choice, and the allround cheaparsery.
this so called 8 year contract, may not mean anything, in the scheme of things, but the gruesome twosome, are going to look like a right pair of plums, when they have to sack him.
