North London is Red etc etc.

Newcastle really phoning it in tho, eh?

Exactly the kind of team you want to be facing right now.

 

[sledger]

In that he hasn't always been good at it? This year I can recall Aston Villa, Sunderland, Tottenham, Everton, this evening all from this season. Pretty sure he started his Arsenal career with about 5 similar too.

He's fine when he actually gets to the near post, but there have been so many times this season where he's seem determined to run to the back post for no reason. Has been a gripe of mine for a while now; this thread is littered with posts where I've moaned about it.

Yeah, 2014 hasn't been a great advert for Pardiola. One suspects he'll be facing the chop. Hard to think of many other Prem managers who could survive a run of 7 defeats on the spin with hardly any goals scored.

Yep I'd like to say the team have been at the beach (and shops) for weeks now but I think that conceals the hard truth that a Cabaye-less Newcastle is a bit ****. There is no direction or team plan atm and the tactics consistently just don't work. None of the parts are working.

 

[Pothas]

I don't really remember them ever getting all these points that have allowed them to have such an awful run.

 

[Nate]

Ahhhhh those Gerrard gifs are as funny as they are painful.

I can vaguely remember Remy scoring some goals, but that is about it.

 

[Cabinet96]

I remember they beat Chelsea and won at Old Trafford.

 

[MW1304]

We had a run of wins at the end of last year, some good results against top teams and, yeah, Remy scored almost all of his 13 goals in that time.

Edit: Yeah a run of 7 wins out of 9 including games against Chelsea, Tottenham and Man Utd.

Spurs after Frank De Boer. Be a interesting appointment.

Cannot be allowed to happen. The de Boers are second only to the Laudrups in terms of amazing footballing brothers.

 

[Cevno]

Dennis Bergkamp is also his assistant so that would be interesting.

 

[Furball]

Spurs are below a magnificent man like Frank de Boer.

Definitely below Ronald, the most arrogant bastard I've ever had the pleasure of watching on a football pitch.

 

[Furball]

Not really, Bergkamp would probably take over at Ajax in that case.

 

[Furball]

Coentrao - exhibit A in 'defenders getting away with diving that forwards wouldn't'

 

[Furball]

And again. Ribery gets barged into touch, play on. Ribery breathes on Carvajal, free kick.

 

[Cevno]

Ramos again.

Bayern can't defend set pieces and are screwed now.

 

[Uppercut]

This looks suspiciously like Barca-Bayern last year. Cabinet's comment about Pep turning Bayern into everything they beat last year comes to mind.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bayern haven't regressed though.
