Newcastle United FC

This is our 3rd or 4th best squad under Moyes.I'd be extremely happy if we manage to finish in a Europa League place.

Tbh this season I think Everton's squad look more impressive than Newcastle. I'm more afraid of them than I've ever been this past decade.

Everton v Newcastle United – The Premier League Years

Everton and Newcastle lock horns at Goodison Park on Monday night in what promises to be a titanic battle.

Both teams will be hoping to secure a top-four finish this season, but do their previous Premier League meetings on Merseyside give any indication as to where the points might end up?



The Basics
Matches Played: 18

Everton Wins: 9

Draws: 4

Newcastle Wins: 5

Everton Goals: 26

Newcastle Goals: 19

Although their Premier League record at Goodison Park is not too bad, it is important to note that Newcastle have enjoyed just a single victory in their last nine top-flight visits to the ground.

*In the figures below, two yellow cards and one red card have been counted when a player has been sent off for a ‘second bookable offence’:

Yellow Cards – EVE (29) v (46) NEW

Excluding own goals, Newcastle have found the net once every 4.29 ‘Shots on Target’ in this fixture

David Moyes’ men have recent history on their side, boasting six wins from the last nine stagings of this fixture. This has to make them favourites, though it will also be interesting to see if Newcastle can break their set-piece duck.

« The Importance of Scoring First

Kickoff.co.uk

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has admitted last season's top scorer Demba Ba could leave the club for £7m in January.
The 27-year-old Senegal striker is believed to be frustrated at his current role at the club and talks over a new contract have reached an impasse.
It was thought Ba's £7m buy-out clause expired on 31 July, but Pardew revealed it is still active in the new year.

"There is that clause in his contract and it makes us vulnerable, " he said. "It's still open in the next window."

Just moved to Newcastle. So yeah, will be keeping an eye on them.

Newcastle were seriously unlucky to only draw the Wear/Tyne derby. A harsh red for Tiote and Sunderland could not get anything done for an hour even with their numerical advantage.

I really never knew how shit Simpson actually was until I got FM lol.

According to L'Equipe Newcastle Utd are closing in on Arsenal legend Aliadiere from French side Lorient: http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Aliadiere-vers-newcastle/322311#xtor=CS1-12-[Aliadiere-vers-newcastle-322311

Would be a cool signing.

You gotta be f*cking kidding me

I get we need a back up but f*cking hell

Also it's blatantly bullocks he's 29 lol.

Pardew doesn't look so Pardiola anymore...

Better than Ba and cisse

"To play in the Premier League would be a dream come true," said Sissoko.

"It is a fantastic league and I enjoy watching it.

"Newcastle are a fantastic team and would be attractive to any player. I am no different."

Debuchy:

"I could not go to Newcastle because the president of Lille did not want me to go," Debuchy told L'equipe.

"At times it was a decision that was difficult to deal with over the summer and, yes, I was disappointed.

"I hope there will be other opportunities, but for now that is all in the past. I will give 200 per cent for Lille and I have never said I am unhappy here. I am not sure what my future will be after this season though."

Yo, question for Mole and anyone who watches Newcastle regularly.

I play soccermanager and have $90 million right now and can buy Davide Santon to grow my massive youth team for $6 million. Is he worth it? I know he has massive potential in FIFA but how has he been playing, what does his situation look like with Newcastle etc.

He's been our best player this season IMO and ask any fan they will say he's been our most consistent.

As far as he's situation goes he has a Geordie Girlfriend and seems very happy where he is at the moment.

What is soccer manager btw? because while he's performing fantastically at the moment he's not exactly scoring or assisting so he wouldn't be a good choice for Fantasy Football for example.

www.soccermanager.com

I've never played Football Manager but from what I understand, soccermanager is football manager's slow cousin, even though it's still very fun. You just take control of a club and buy players. Their ratings change at a minimum of every 4 months or can go for long periods of time untouched if they don't play particularly well or badly.

For example, Santon is an 87 and his last rating change was in January 2010. So from what you're saying, he'll go up the next time they review the Premier League.

Considering how much he has improved since then i would have thought so.

Soccer manager oh dear.

I am the Arsene Wenger of soccer manager. My youth team has over 100 players and I haven't won a trophy in over 5 seasons (4 seasons a year)

Rumours in France that #Newcastle have Saint-Etienne attacker Pierre-Emerick #Aubameyang on their shortlist of targets for Jan. #NUFC

Good news at last.

Unless we sort the style of play and other problems we have out i don't see what good even Messi would do

Fear not Cisse will start scoring now because I took him out of my fantasy team.

Players aren't going to make this team better lol

A change in style or tactics will (or management, which would obviously bring in a change in style/tactics unless it's someone from Stoke).
