Newcastle United are no longer playing in fear going into this weekend’s extremely important derby game against local rivals Sunderland.
Geremi – Geordie fans should be happy Sunday
So says midfield star and Cameroon International Geremi.
When Kevin first came Newcastle didn’t register their first win until Kevin’s 10th game in charge. But they went awfully close on several occasions against Bolton, Middlesbrough and Birmingham, with each game ending in a draw.
And of course we should have won the game against Blackburn when Michael Owen missed 5 good chances and as luck would have it Blackburn broke away in added time to score the winner.
But that was the way things went in those days but things have changed dramatically since then.
Geremi talked to the official Newcastle World TV today:
“Now we are not scared of any team we play against,” “Previously we were low on confidence and the run we were on was worrying.–But the manager changed things and we haven’t looked back.â€
“Now we have shape and are playing good football and we are a team.” “This kind of game is very special because it’s a derby,” “We are playing with confidence at the moment and I think we are going to make the fans very happy on Sunday.”
That almost sounds like a promise from Geremi, but we think the way we’ve been playing the last 5 games should be good enough to defeat Sunderland.
They are a side very well managed by Roy Keane, and they will fight hard, but the extra class in the Newcastle ranks should make the difference. Especially since the game is at St. James’ Park, and we certainly need all 3 points.

Comment #4Yep, the old dog-w***ker’s done an excellent job for our uncleansed neighbours – and he’s come out with some cracking quotes about players being under their wives’ thumbs. If I’m not careful I might start to like him.
But we’ll still stuff ’em. I reckon Jones will get one, but it’ll end up 3-1 against the dark side. Barton’s due a 35-yarder, and where better to do it?
It’s my 40th birthday on Sunday, and some hairs of unw***ked dogs plus watching wor lads skunk the mackems into the turf would be the perfect consolation for entering middle age….
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!

Comment #5Actually Whumpie The new middle age is supposed to be 68 so I am not quite there yet. You are still a spotty faced youth I’m afraid. 🙂
You could talk to Leo for some prezzy ideas.
I would be happy if we score at least 3 against them but do not want anything but a clean sheet.

Comment #8I saw something the other day saying Sunderland have 2 massive derby days coming up us this sunday and Boro the week after!!
maybe someone should tell the cockney jellied eel eaters that boros derbies should be Darlo and Bradford more than us and the mackems
Anyway Geremi couldnt cross a road let alone a ball to save his life even with a lollypop man helping out

Comment #12Bill, sorry. Must a missed ’em. That’s the draw back to the blog format vesus the message board. It’s a little harder to see what’s active without getting a billion emails about comments being added. Just jet me an email at dyne_erg at yahoo dot com.

Comment #13Tripp, I tried your e-mail address but it didn’t work. What I was suggesting was that you Google “Emu oil”, you might find it helpful for your RA, thats if you aren’t already aware of it.

Comment #14Actually I just realised why it didn’t work, think my mind must be going. I will try again later if you don;t appear to have got this message. I have to vacate the PC as my missus wants to use it.

Comment #16Oh, right mate. I take a highly refined version of fish oil for that, along with meds. I’m thinking about changing my diet to a vegan one. That has been shown in some studies to have a marked effect. Not too keen on it, but if it allows me to play footy without Emre-esc niggling injuries then I’m all for it. I thought you were on about the wee’s keys thing. Couldn’t find a connection between that an Emu oil. 😀
