BigFatCoward Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 this man named alan shearer and the goals he scored then for blackburn i was in love with his quality. the man was the player i wanted to be. later on he would go to newcastle. about that time the usa started to get the occasional epl games on tv. i saw shearer now in a striped shirt for the toon. while other soccer friends were picking man united, arsenal, liverpool and chelsea i hung my hat upon the magpies. since then i have been a supporter. i have watched them climb and fall and fall and fall even more. they just fit my working class, might-be-good background.so you never got to enjoy the peaks and troughs of the ill fated 95-96 season before he signed for newcastle? summed up everything that newcastle is about. 12 points ahead in mid february, lost by 4 points. lucky lucky you. but the first two thirds of the season were a sight to behold.

WhiteHaven Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I am the only one here, who watches Bundesliga, right?Ah. St. Pauli lost, today. Which is sad, because I like to see the underdog winning :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball07 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Jon is German.And Renasko, Keita played in a very advanced role lots of times last season and scored a good few goals before the ANC. When Henry and Pedro were injured, he played on the left-hand-side of attack, and played deeper other times. He's certainly not a DM like Mascherano.

Renasko Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He may have lined out that way, but he certainly didn't play in any advanced way. He moves forward to join in, sometimes, but that can be said of even the likes of Pique and Puyol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wizard Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 After watching Match of the Day last night I have to say that I was impressed with Manuel Almunia's performance. He appeared to a lot more confident coming off his line and he wasn't put off by Blackburn's bullying tactics at set-pieces.I also enjoyed the amount of pressure Wolves were putting on Joey Barton in a blatant attempt to get him sent off. Mick McCarthy managed to dodge the issue by telling the interviwer "I thought he was no shrinking violet either" and Chris Houghton dealt with the issue quite tactfully where as Arsene Wenger (if it had been one of his players) would have whinged for weeks. Barton has impressed me in the last two games as he's played well and hasn't done anything rash which is what he was always doing two season ago every time he was released from prison or returned from suspension. Alan Shearer, who said that Barton would never played for Newcastle United again, was also praising him last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renasko Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Little jealous that Liverpool have signed Raul Meriles. I was quite impressed by him during the WC. He'll be a good player for them. Hopefully they won't ruin him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Dumb, petulant shit from Jussi. Good luck Adam Bogdan, you'll need every bit of it.What is it with my teams and getting keepers sent off this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they won't ruin him.He's kind of a box to box guy right? It's my understanding that he likes to come late into the opposition box, much like Gerrard and Lampard. I wonder how he fits in with Gerrard. Maybe you can put Gerrard back behind Torres, Meriles into the center of midfield, and put Joe Cole out left.

Fireball07 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 :lol: ;) What a performance! What a result! And it was actually a rubbish penalty, one of the worst he's ever taken...I'm so happy, it's unbelievable. Reminded me why I love the sport :wub: Tevez's miss, Mignolet's super save and just general performances from Elmo, Mignolet, Bramble, Steed, and then a last minute goal. Can't beat it, just can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good 3-0 win for Barca though, and Milan won 4-0 with apparently a very impressive performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelo Rebelo Firqoralas Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Wow. Real Madrid just drew Mallorca.
