ooooo.. they're talking about mig ayessa's performance on rockstar inxs when he sang baby i love your way.. on nickelodeon of all channels for some weird reason. but o man. when i saw it last time.. i almost died. it was such an amazing rendition. and mig is the kinda person who has that x-factor. sigh. very nice. it actually made dave navarro look like he was gonna dissolve in a pile of tears. mmm. but. really. very touching. very nice. ok i sound like such a groupie.
anyway. so newcastle beat arsenal 1-0. im not really gonna yay coz yay-ing gets qutie tiring after sometime. but still... im extremely proud of the performance. for some reason i am always rooting for arsenal in their matches and i like wenger. even though he says the stupidest things sometimes. but seriously no one can compete with chelski's boss for that. he is the king of stupid.
but i think wenger must have been watching the wrong match. he is seriously disillusioned.
Wenger also felt referee Dermot Gallagher did not protect Arsenal from Newcastle's physical approach.
'I think it's very difficult to take the way we lost the game,' he added. 'We were the better team in the second half, they decided to go more physical and the referee allowed more fouls, sent a player off and I don't know why.
'We played well and I just believe we were not protected - every challenge in the air was a foul. We know Alan Shearer can do that in this country.
'The rules are the rules and the referee needs to make them respected.
'It's difficult 10 against 11, we were unfortunate with the goal and the team did battle well and I can congratulate my team with the way they played.'
please man arsene. he should have been trying to save all the dignity he has left but he chose to deliver a crapload of lies instead. he should have said somethings along the lines of acknowledgement of newcastle's display which had more heart than anything arsenal could come up with. he should have acknowledged that jens lehmann is not only a big baby, a kaypo queen (he is the ULTIMATE) but also an aspiring dentist. there's no way lehmann could have not moved out of the way when scott parker came charging in. seriously. and scott parker is fantastic. he's been since the day he came here and even when the team has been giving below par performances he's never let down with his performances. he got his tooth knocked out. and suffered a concussion later on and only then did he come off. which brings me to my next point...
better team? im sorry but just.. screw off man. maybe in the first half yes. but overall. give me a break.
WE WERE NOT PROTECTED!!!!! come on man! this is the english premier league. you know the thing that i feel sets the epl apart from other leagues is just.. well.. i dont know how to put this without sounding corny but the way that the teams play with a lot of heart. it's just the typical english bulldog spirit. when u play good the physical side naturally comes in the way. it's just part of the game and you've just gotta be game enough and brave to face it. and to say that arsenal were not protected, it just makes the whole arsenal team sound like a bunch of big fat babies. foreign players in the epl always have had this tendency to be thought off as being more whiny. and seriously. not protected. i dont even know what to say anymore. apparently he expects the referee to be a professional babysitter too. i dont think newcastle were 'protected' either with one of our players almost being killed off. but i dont hear any complaint's. it's all part and parcel of football. there were no dirty tackles, illegal tackles from newcastle. so just get on with it man.
WE KNOW ALAN SHEARER CAN DO THAT IN THE COUNTRY!??!!! o man. give me a freaking break. everyone knows what shearer can do. physically. he's NOT a big guy (i'll talk about that later. i just love talking about newcastle. i dont give a shit if nobody listens coz i can read back on this entry and go all tingly inside coz i really love this team. hurhurrrr) he's only 5ft10 or 5ft11.. but yet he holds his own so damn well against defenders. that is called HEART which wenger obviously has no concept of. he does not back down from any challenges and is involved in the game physically, but not illegally, coz he just.. encompasses the english spirit man, to just tough it out. he's always been like that, and when he does foul, he gets punished by the referee, and unfairly too sometimes. shearer does get punished. but if just going all out for ur team is wrong and taking every single challenge when it comes and being a physical threat and no push over to scare the arsenal players to peeing in their pants is wrong then YES. ALAN SHEARER CAN DO THAT IN THE COUNTRY.
to say they were unfortunate with the goal and battled well. firstly. there was no 'fortune' involved. typically shearer managed to hold the ball off from some arse jokers and deliver a damn freaking good pass to solano who slotted it in with no mistake. there was no fortune involved. we deserved it, it was a great goal and we just got what we deserved. battled well? ok maybe. maybe not. but we BATTLED WAY BETTER. by whining that his team battled well and didnt win, i think wenger is acknowledging this fact too.
here is what souness had to say:
"I doubt if we could field an eleven that could fight anymore. scott parker and amady faye, and the grumpy old man up front, epitomised that.
I think Alan plays in a manly fashion that is great to see. it's extremely effective. He's not the biggest man in teh world but i doubt there's anyone with a bigger heart. he's facing his own goal 95 percent of the time, playing against men much bigger and much younger than him, but he plays like a true man."
self explanatory. really. it's not based on no grounds that i have so much respect for shearer. he may not be the most popular player in the epl (probably because of this) but who gives a shit. he's plays his heart out each and everytime for newcastle, and just gives 200%. apparently he is very defensive of his team too to the media when they talk too much shit about newcastle. i really wonder what the last game of the season will be like.. an a newcastle without shearer.. it's just hard to imagine.. paul masefield put if perfectly last night. when john dykes asked him about the match he said for him shearer was the main man. he controlled the game, controlled the referee and controlled the arsenal players. i honestly think that shearer.. is the last of his generation who can play the game like he does. i admit he's not the best footballer in the world. the tide has changed. all the ronaldinhos are in favour. and i admit he's past his prime. but the heart and experience he brings onto the field each and everytime is unmatchable. when people insult shearer. and they mean it. to my face. i just cant help but get pissed off seriously. coz he deserves no shit.
at the end of the day.. it's was a great performance not just talking bout the way they played but how each player gave everything he got. the defence was amazing. i have NEVER seen such good displays ever. i mean yea they still leave u standing on eggshells the entire time. but boumsong and bramble actually put in decent performances. i hope they keep this up man. as for ramage im just so grateful for his presence and emergence into the squad. he's young, he's english.. (i think he should be!) and it's always fantastic to have young english players around. i've always liked elliot. he's a geordie and he gives 200% all the time even though he may not be the best player and he did a job yesterday. a good one at that.. scott parker.. what more is there to say. amady faye was not bad too.. surprisingly. i always felt like he was just there to make up the numbers. solano seemed kinda off last night but great goal. im just so glad he's back. he's just got black and white blood man. seriously. he cant play anywhere other than here. AMEOBA. my goodness. he deserves all the praise. i have always felt so bad for insulting him coz he seems like a nice guy (esp on the footballers cribs eps) but he's just so.. gangly that he can produce some brilliant skill suddenly and then lose the ball so damn easily. i think losing the ball will always be part of his game honestly but last night he defended well, stole the ball from arsenal several times and gave many glimpses of what he can really do with the ball. so all credit to him. i guess a lot of criticism has been directed at him over the years.. i dont know whether to use the word unfairly.. but he's taken it like a MAN. owen didnt seem to be match fit yet. but.. im extremely glad he's at newcastle. he's like the torch bearer after shearer leaves. and he's the kinda player who can not do much the whole time but if u give him a chance he's gonna score. shearer. nothing i say will ever do justice.
i think i sound like im obssessed. but im not. i just love the team. like crazy. have been like this for 10 years and long may it continue!! my love affair with newcastle united. sigh. i dont think there's anything or anyone out there which makes me more happy. in a way that sounds kinda sad but i dont give a shit. it's not sad. it just makes me feel damn freaking good.
