Today's Other Games

[Red Banjo]

Unbelievable strike

[Xherdan]

That's a quality finish from Cisse.

[J-V]

Great goal that

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Fucking hell, what a finish. 9 goals in 8.

 

Depressing.

[Captain]

They sure are missing Andy Carroll.

 

Fucking hell!

[BringbackBiscan]

Anyone still daft enough to reckon they wouldn't swap Suarez, Carroll & Downing for Ba, Cisse & Ben Arfa?

[Jairzinho]

Guess we should be happy Newcastle are doing us a favour here.

I'd swap Downing for a half eaten curly wurly

 

I'd swap Carroll for Cisse's signed picture

[J-V]

The mighty Sunderland are a point behind us.

[Jairzinho]

The mighty Sunderland are a point behind us.

 

I don't expect us to finish ahead of Sunderland, Fulham or Swansea.

[Red Banjo]

Newcastle bought Perch from Notts Forest, and Williamson from Watford didn't they?

 

Unbelievable mix of lower league prospects, premiership mis-fits and good foreigners they were prepared to take a gamble on.

 

And they go above Chelsea, who have spent gazillions - 2 points behind Spuds and Arse

[J-V]

We funded that Newcastle team. Did we get a tax break for donating to charity.

[Captain]

It's gonna be one hell of a race for those two last CL spots.

14 points above us. We havent been short of spending money either.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

14 points behind the Geordies? Fuck me. Depressing

 

How good does Cisse look? Goals he's scored so far have been out of this world.

 

Would love it if they pip either Spurs or preferably Chelsea for the Champs league spot.

[bizzle10]

14 points behind newcastle is a scandal truly depressing that fight for champs league spots going to be tight

[King Emlyn]

Completely unacceptable, heads have to roll, disgraceful.etc............true though

[Iantn]

Anyone still daft enough to reckon they wouldn't swap Suarez, Carroll & Downing for Ba, Cisse & Ben Arfa?

 

I wouldn't. Ben Arfa is decent, at best, for starters.

[TheDrowningMan]

As close to Blackburn as we are to Newcastle, and rightly so - We're a much better side than Rovers & Newcastle are far superior in almost every way to us. I suspect we'll need to get used to that for a prolonged period if the status quo is maintained at our club.

[BringbackBiscan]

Whilst Carroll and Downing are well above decent. Suarez maybe a great player but the other two will score more, which wins you more football games.

 

The table doesn't lie. They're a better side.

Newcastle is not superior to us in any way, they just have two players who can score goals.

Downing was probably better for a worse Villa side last year than Ben Arfa has been for Newcastle. Either way, that ain't me point.

 

Me point being that you, or whoever, can wank yourself silly over Ba and Cisse as much as you like given one has failed two medicals in last twelve months and the other has played 8 games.

 

I'd doubt many people have seen majority of them 8 games let alone much else on him.

 

It is also vastly easier to play for Newcastle than it is for us. Sides give them more time and that. Doing a great job for them means nothing to what they might do for us.

 

Why don't we just add to what we have in Suarez (best player outta the 6 by far) than do anything else?

[BringbackBiscan]

Bit of a contradiction there. They've a superior gk, wide players, forwards and central midfield when Gerrard doesn't show up (happens often these days).

[Bobby Hundreds]

I don't think Newcastle are that much better than us, they just are in a key position. If they had injuries to ba and cisse they may struggle to find the net. We fucked up in the transfer market but it's fixable, get back agger Johnson and Lucas our team will tighten up, we just need to buy quality attacking players. In the mean time Kenny needs to pick his best players and stick with them, no chopping changing trying different formations. Trying to be tacticians fuck the chess off just play draughts, nice and simple.

It's not 2009 any more. Teams aren't parking the bus. They're coming out and playing better football in most cases.

 

Ba and Cisse have been class for years in Germany. Ben Arfa has always been talented but a bit of a headcase. Downing's just been average if we're honest.
