Sivy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 doesn't matter now, as it turns out spurs were still interested in him afterall. and according to his website southampton and man city were the only other english teams also trying to sign him. which is strange as i would have thought it would be ideal for curbishly. a 4-5-1 would have suited him as he is tall, strong and a great header of the balls... i.e a Shaun Barlett who can score. plus he was availble on loan which means if it didn't work out no loss, just send him packing. we need a goal scorer. barlett's great at hold-up play and he's good in the air. but he's not a consistent goalscorer. Jeffers needs more games to get going, but he wont play in a 4-5-1 and curbishly wont change it while it's still working. Johansson is great one match, and then as useful as a chocolate kettle the next. and lisble couldn't hit jordan's boobs with a tennis racket. we need someone who's 6" plus, has pace, can beat people, good in the air, can hold up the ball and always hit the target. any idea? i say we take some DNA from Barlett, Mendonca, Rommadahl (for the pace) and Lisble (because he's alright beating people, he just doesn't know what to do afterwards) and with these DNA samples we can create a super striker clone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 i don't rate Kishishev at all. whenever i see him play i lose count of how many times he gives the ball away. he's a bit clumsy going into challenges sometimes and often fouls. he doesn't make good decisions, the amount of times he's taken a shot at goal from outside the box, when there were plenty of other options. and he hasn't got the best shot in the world, maybe 1 out of 10 might be on target. ok he does work hard and he is determined, but he’s just not good enough. and i'm sure there's better players in the reserve or youth team than him. As for Euell, Curbishly should have sold him in the window. tried to get back some of the £4.75m we paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 predictions for the Newcastle game? my last two predictions were short by 1 goal to the opposition, i.e... Vs Yeovil i predicted 3-1 and it was 3-2 Vs Liverpool i predicted 1-1 and it was 1-2 so i'm going to say that we win by 2-1. HH will open the scoring with a header from a corner around about the 20th minute. Newcastle will get a penalty in the 40th minute after a El Karkouri brings down Ameobi in the box (it will be a close call) Shearer will put that away. then on the counter attack we'll nick it in the 80th minute, a good pass from Murphy for a simple Bartlett tap-in. so if my trend contiunes it should be 2-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellz2002 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4218241.stm heres the story: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Newcastle v Charlton St James' Park Saturday, 5 February Kick-off: 1500 GMT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team news to follow later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIG-MATCH FACTS * NEWCASTLE UNITED have won two and lost one of their five Premiership games in 2005. Victory over Charlton, could see them rise into the top half of the table, while defeat may result in them slipping to within three places of the relegation zone. The Magpies have won one (v Crystal Palace), drawn one (v Charlton) and lost five of their Premiership games against London opposition so far this season. * The Tyneside club are the least resilient in the top division. They've lost all eight games in which the opposition have scored first, lost all five in which behind at half time, dropped 22 points (eight draws, two defeats) from ten Premiership matches in which they held the lead, and gained only one point from a match in which they were behind (2-2 away to Birmingham). * The Toon Army will be hoping to cheer their side to a fourth successive home Premiership victory over Charlton. Last time the Magpies had their sights on a Champions League place when they beat the Londoners 3-1 in March, with a brace from Alan Shearer. * CHARLTON ATHLETIC had their four match winning run in League and FA Cup ended by Tuesday's 1-2 home loss to Liverpool, but manager Alan Curbishley will be wanting to celebrate his 400th League match in sole charge, with a victory. The Addicks go into this game on a par with their points tally at the equivalent stage last season, when they finished a Premiership best seventh. The match pits the two clubs with the longest scorers lists in the top division this season - Newcastle 16 players, Charlton 13. * Curbishley is ambitious for his south London outfit to confirm their steady progress over the years by qualification for Europe. But if Uefa Cup football is to be achieved they'll need to improve on an away record of only eight goals scored in 12 matches. Victory at St James' Park could lift them into the top six. * The Addicks came from behind to maintain their unbeaten home record with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against a battling Newcastle side in the reverse fixture in October. That's the only time this season, the south London club have gained a point from a losing position. Charlton have only recorded one Premiership maximum at St James' Park. That was 0-1 on 23 September 2000, when Graham Stuart got the winner. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEQUENCES/RECENT FORM NEWCASTLE UNITED Club stats Fixtures 12th 30 points Highest realistically achievable after Saturday's games: 10th Lowest could fall: 15th * Boast the longest scorers list in the Premiership. Their 36 goals have been netted by 16 different players (that excludes two own goals). * Shipped 42 goals in the top division. Only Norwich (47) and West Brom (46) have leaked more. * Their 25 top flight contests have produced 78 goals (36 for, 42 against). Only Arsenal have a higher aggregate of 84. * Managed only three clean sheets in this Premiership campaign. * Scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of Premiership duels this season than any other club (nine). * Accrued fewer points after the first 25 outings of a 20-club Premiership season than ever before. The previous lowest was 31 in 1999/2000, when the club eventually finished 11th. * Won the last two League encounters at St James' Park - both 2-1 (against Birmingham and Southampton). * Conceded one goal in each of the last five home League matches. * Managed only clean sheet in home top division duels, and none under Souness. * Failed to score twice at home in the League this season, and once since the appointment of the manager. CHARLTON ATHLETIC Club stats Fixtures 7th 37 points Highest realistically achievable after Saturday's games: 6th Lowest could fall: 8th * Drawn four Premiership matches. No other clubs have finished level less often. * The Premiership's most vulnerable club in the opening 15 minutes of the second half, when a dozen goals have been conceded. * Failed to win a top flight game this season in which the opposition has scored first (one draw, nine defeats on the 10 occasions it's happened). * Gained only one point from a losing position. * Four players have figured in every one of Charlton's Premiership games this season - more than any other club. * Won three of the last on their travels - all Premiership. * The next top flight defeat away from home will be the Addicks' 50th all time away from home in the Premier League. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY PLAYER NOTES/POTENTIAL MILESTONES NEWCASTLE UNITED Squad profiles * Alan SHEARER became the first player to score 250 Premier League goals on Wednesday. He is the most prolific scorer since the League was inaugurated, leading Andrew COLE - now of Fulham - who's second in the list, by a massive 78 goals. * SHEARER is also two goals shy of 275 in top flight soccer. * Lee BOWYER began his professional career with Charlton. * If on the field from the outset, Steve HARPER would be making his 100th club career start. CHARLTON ATHLETIC Squad profiles * If he participates, Jason EUELL will be playing on in the eve of his 28th birthday. * Should he figure, Shaun BARTLETT will be making his 100th Premiership appearance - all for Charlton. * When he next turns out, Mark FISH will be making his 100th Premiership appearance for Athletic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST SEASON'S CORRESPONDING GAME: Newcastle United 3-1 Charlton Athletic 20 March 2004 - Ref: Mike Riley Newcastle scorers: Shearer 2, Jenas 35, Shearer 77 Charlton scorers: Jensen 54 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS SEASON'S REVERSE FIXTURE: Charlton Athletic 1-1 Newcastle United 17 October 2004 - Ref: Charlton scorers: O'Brien 51 og Newcastle scorers: Bellamy 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAD TO HEAD TOTALS League: Newcastle 29 wins, Charlton 16, Draws 16 Prem: Newcastle 4 wins, Charlton 2, Draws 5 HEAD TO HEAD at Newcastle League: Newcastle 20 wins, Charlton 7, Draws 3 Prem: Newcastle 3 wins, Charlton 1, Draws 1 <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
