The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

Gonna be interesting to see how Newcastle cope without Tiote and Ba when they go the African Cup of Nations.

Made up that Newcastle are winning ....then realising if it stays like this they are only a point behind us

[Berober]

United team vs Newcastle: Lindegaard, Valencia, Evra, Carrick, Jones, Giggs, Rooney, Nani, Welbeck, Hernandez, Berbatov

Could we play any more strikers?

Sing along with me everyone!

Where the fuck is Lineker!

[IAceI]

Better team is winning the match to be honest. Man Utd are depressing to watch lately.

[Starvinho]

Cracking goal from Ba, we need sort it out second half, we're being totally out-muscled and out-played all over the pitch. Welbeck on for Berba I think and Rafael on for Park then stick Valencia on the right/Nani on the left. I always knew this would be a tricky game...

[Dan]

Yeah they're playing shit football, they looked quality at the start of the season with Cleverley/Young/Rooney/Nani all linking up.

That team was actually announced by a manutd.com correspondant so it's not my fault!

[Dingle]

Haha brilliant. What a corker by Ba, that guy just knows exactly how to score. Brilliant effort. Good to see Newcastle ahead as I feel they deserve it, although kinda torn because I want a harder title chase for City.

Opinions on the penalty call, it looked like one to me but no replays were shown.

[gunnar hendershow]

Newcastle will concede a late goal and this is going to end in a draw.

I hope the opposite of Newcastle conceding a goal happens though, so consider this a reverse jinx or something.

[IAceI]

Blatant penalty. Webb might have thought Ferdinand was the one who knocked the ball rather than Ba so thought he maybe got the ball first but other than that it was a penalty and a pretty clear one by all accounts.

[Dan]

Cabaye! Fucking hell!

[Liam]

2-0

[Berober]

Beautiful.

[Gazz]

That was worth £4.3m alone.

[gunnar hendershow]

CABAYE!

[IAceI]

Great free-kick from Cabaye there. Not as good as Gardner's mind you, but it was a great strike.

[Dan]

That was one hell of a free kick.

[Starvinho]

Fucking hell there's no need for that

Cracking goal again though. Bastard.

[MJB]

Double bollocks.

Never over the line. Howard Webb should know that the ball has to actually move the net to be given against us

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Going to need a top second half performance to get back into this one.

[MJB]

Lindegaard should be dropped for his two mistakes tonight
