There’s no sign of Papiss Cisse today, even on the bench, in the team that Alan Pardew has announced will play at Blackpool this afternoon, in a 3:00 pm kick off, and maybe that means we will see him at St. Mirren on Tuesday night in the new Wonga strip.
But the team is quite a strong one, and Mike Williamson will partner Steven Taylor, in Fab Coloccini’s absence, and Shola Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran will be up front in a 4-4-2 formation this afternoon at Bloomfield Road.
And it’s interesting that big Moussa Sissoko will be in the middle of the Park with Yohan Cabaye, and maybe that’s Newcastle best central midfield pairing in the coming season.
18 year-old Adam Campbell is again on the bench and we hope we see Adam get a decent run-out in the second half this afternoon, and Mathieu Debuchy and Davide Santon are the full-backs, and the two Internationals look like the starters for this coming season too.
Jak Alnwick, Sammy Ameobi, Haris Vuckic and Paul Dummett are other youngsters on the bench this afternoon.
For Blackpool Tom Ince starts, and we’ve been linked with the 21 year-old winger this summer in the transfer market, and former Gosforth-born Newcastle striker Michael Chopra starts up front for the Tangerines.
We want to see a good performance from the team today, including in the first half, and hopefully a decent win.
Teams:
Blackpool (4-3-3): Matt Gilks; Kirk Broadfoot, Gary MacKenzie, Craig Cathcart, Bob Harris; Barry Ferguson (c), Angel Martinez, Thomas Ince; Bobby Grant, Michael Chopra, Steven Davies
Substitutes: Mark Halstead, Massire Kante, Neil Bishop, Chris Basham, Isaiah Osbourne. Nathan Eccleston, Daylon Claasen, Tom Barkhuizen, Anderson Banvo, Jake Caprice
Newcastle United (4-4-2): Rob Elliot; Mathieu Debuchy, Mike Williamson, Steven Taylor, Davide Santon; Sylvain Marveaux, Yohan Cabaye (c), Moussa Sissoko, Jonas Gutierrez; Yoan Gouffran, Shola Ameobi
Substitutes: Jak Alnwick, Paul Dummett, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Haris Vuckic, Sammy Ameobi, Adam Campbell

Ameobi = Hoofball
Pardews only idea on how to progress the ball up the pitch. The lad should have left the club years ago. A total and utter shambles that he is still being selected, only at the Toon. Can you imagine any other PL team persevering with Shola, my god give young Campbell a go or anyone, Pardew is lost without a target man.

Back to the conventional 4-4-2, Cabs and Sissoko ‘should’ dominate the middle of park. With Sissokos power and Cabs precision should be to much for the Seasiders.
Hopefully Ince has a stormer and and we take him back to St James’s :D.

I don’t understand why some of our better players, HBA, Tiote, Hiadara and so on are being ‘held back’ for fitness – what better way to get fitter than to actually play a game?!
And where’s Cisse? Surely he needs minutes on a pitch?
Can’t help but feel wound up with AP yet a-bloody-gain.

Classic, boring and bland Pardew team. Guaranteed to offer no inventiveness, no speed, no fluidity and very little idea.

Don’t mind them holding some players back, as long as its for the right reasons. If they aren’t fit enough or have a slight niggle then wouldn’t risk them as knowing our luck they’d get injured and be out for god knows how long.
Though I think we should be trying to win every match, especially after last season, it is only pre-season and really shouldn’t be to worried.

That is obviously a false rumour about Gomis agents being in Newcastle tomorrow. A player (and therefore their agents) can’t speak to another club unless the selling club have accepted a bid.
If they had then I’m sure, given the way their club seem happy to discuss the deal in public, that we would know about it. Instead, the current situation appears to be a gap between the clubs still in agreeing the fee.

The selling club can grant permission for the player and his representatives to speak to any club at any time they like as no fee has to be agreed beforehand for this to happen.
If Lyon believe that a deal will be struck between them and NUFC then allowing us to talk to Gomis agent will allow the deal to happen quicker which would be to everyone’s advantage, we are desperate for the player and they are desperate for the money.

Most likely Faye Downey is having a say on who can play or not depending on fitness level’s, the players that have been left out are said to be working on fitness levels as the last thing we need to happen now is lose anyone due to them being played when they are not physically ready, which is what happened all of last season
112 Toon-Prodigy // Jul 28, 2013 at 3:05 PM
Jb,
Santon has only featured at right back once I think in his time here, or was it right wing away to Blackburn when he scored? My memory could be off. Pards obviously thinks he is suited to left back.
Anita as tidy as he is, is not ideal.
Dummett is left back too isn’t he?
You know how Mike likes a free..
Apparantly he is on £30,000 a week at the makums though, I very much doubt MA would pay that as a back-up.
It would be canny though to have a proper right back waiting to play.

Another kick in the balls is that Strolla miraculously scores and plays a blinder and ‘earns’ himself another bloody contract extension!
I just had a terrible vision of Strolla Ameobi coming back as a coach to disrupt our very long awaited slick one-two passing skills on the pitch. Afterall he is a ‘legend’ ffs!!
117 Greebol1892 // Jul 28, 2013 at 3:06 PM
Season after season our no.23 keeps getting 1st team games and it seems we can never find a striker to replace him (which has been as least the last 8 seasons & counting) ……
WTF!?!?
The lad is impossible to leave out and it seems he will be here forever. Geordie & a great penalty taker – NOTHING ELSE….. FFS.
Just pains me how someone so slow and consistently lazy is getting an easy payday. He could score 50 goals in pre-season for all I care but the lad has never been, and never will be a footballer.
OK rant over. Just frustrated we can’t find ANYONE to replace him.
HTL!

I hate to sound like a prick but I knew he was going to score today, look a few posts back.
Instead of playing young, quick and exciting Campbell we are again stuck with Strolla Ameobi! It makes me sick it really does.
Ameobi always plays well in pre-season and in europa but that’s it. In the EPL where we need him he does fcuk-all and that’s my beef with him. I bet that Pardew is impressed by Strolla and is drooling at the thought of pairing him up with Gomis-yawn.

Pards said in less words at the end of the year shola is off.
Now, we all know he has about as much to do with transfers as your or I, but if he stays (shola), I’d say itd be down to an amalgamation of a lack of suitors and us not finding a suitable (ha!) replacement.

@toonking: Count his injuries. Ben Arfa is a quality player as any old fool can see, the issue is how he, and the rest of the team, is being coached. When players go up to their manager and actually say they want harder training, then something is wrong on the training ground. That would certainly explain the daft injuries we picked up last season. Arfa will come good. Mark my words.

If I earned what Strolla earned knowing I am an awful player that is lucky to be at NUFC- a regular top 10 side- of course I would also be ‘loyal’ too!! Some people are blind ffs and then have the cheek to call us bashers lol just because we realise what damage this tool is doing.

Calm down Shola haters. Gomis appears to me as a Shola upgrade, and I have no doubt if he comes in then Shola will be sold to a Championship club. Pre-season games can be about putting players in the shop window, as well as fitness etc.
In any case, isn’t Campbell on the bench and likely to get at least 30 mins in second half?
172 JP...from The Rock // Jul 28, 2013 at 3:33 PM
Thump – Exactly. I would be running like a mad man trying to win the ball back helping in corners, staying behind in training to improve my overall game and especially finishing if I were him. Every time I see him on the pitch I always feel I can put more of a shift in than he does. It pisses me right off! And when he gets a chance he usually slices his effort or balloons it over the bar. Out of 10 chances he might score 1 and then his fans would heap praise on him again for being ‘the hero’ in the match. Only for Pardew to start him in the next match and do fcuk all again playing hoof-ball and costing us crucial points.
173 toonarmydownsouth // Jul 28, 2013 at 3:33 PM

thump stuff like injuries these days is because a player is such a cry baby even the slightest of touches and what happens he will fall down I watched the diving world championships today and their was a diver who had straps on his arm but he did not let that hold him back and did excellent.
also that injury HBA first got was very similar to raylors and you know yourself raylor is going to miss another full season half the reason behind shola being so poor is his mega injury record did you ever hear of woodgate can you remember owen the fact is Newcastle have had a massive amount of players injured for long periods and a lot of the time they have just not had the same strength that they use to have.

179 JP...from The Rock // Jul 28, 2013 at 3:38 PM
tds – yes he did play with injuries but it’s not like he was ever going to set the world a light, and it was after he was here plenty of years and we all knew his limitations and that he wouldn’t get any better ever. He also knew then that he was close to being moved out of the club so he sacrificed a bit of his physical well being to stay at the club that pays him thousands more than any other club would. Hell if I were him I’ll happily chop off one of my testies just to stay playing for NUFC. Injuries happen in football it’s part and parcel of the game. There are many more NUFC players that have played through the pain barrier but they don’t get a mention.

You can’t say that Strolla Ameobi is just as loyal as Harper. No freaking way!!
Harper had proved over and over that he was a good and reliant keeper and yet stayed at NUFC for his love for the club knowing he could be playing regular first team football and maybe earn himself a more lucrative contract or even an England call up when Seaman was near retirement.
Strolla Ameobi on the other hand has never proved himself to be good enough nor consistent enough to earn himself a better contract here or anywhere else. Has always been injury prone and never attracted interest from a club of the same stature as ours, only a few championship clubs offering less money.

Have other teams not had injuries? RVP never had a full season at Arsenal until recently. As soon as he did, and scored more than 30 goals he was off.
Plus you seem unaware that guys play after injuries that would have ended their careers in the past. The fact that they can even get Shola on the pitch at all is a minor miracle for the medical staff and coaches.

If you turn down a hip surgery and play on just because either the club “needs” you or because of your ego (knowing you will be first choice because of injuries) then you are a frickking mor@n if you ask me!
…an athlete have to take his body and generelle health very seriously!
Shola has messed up his own career and when we have nedded him he has been injuried for most parts. In some way I think he has both let him self down and he has let the fans down.
Granted he has been unlucky at times and maybe it is just a case of bad luck and that he is make of glass 🙁

Jazzyp he hadn’t done much so far but as people say he rips up the championship. Second half starting now. I think vuckic is on. Marv off
218 MonkseatonMag // Jul 28, 2013 at 4:03 PM
I never really warmed to Harper. He was always 2nd choice throughout his career . He never seemed commanding (actually came across as nervous) – not a good trait for a keeper. The reason he stayed was because he was on a very high wage.
I gave up my season ticket of 20+ years 3 yrs ago when they gave strolla a 3 yr contact. To me, it showed their lack of ambition – and they’ve still not changed my opinion. Hope they prove me wrong though.

Low fell mug,
You initiate your first post by telling the people you don’t agree with that they are dull and miserable and they should go and get fusked and your best response to criticism is to call somebody a mackem, intelligence isn’t your best attribute I suspect, holding fire extinguishers with your arms outstretched is probably the most compicated task you are capable of carrying out.

Shola had to pull out of the hip operation when Owen did his knee in, and we were going to be very short of forwards. He played with the injury for about a season, and had to have pain killing injections before matches. He put his body and future career on the line for the club.
Despite the fact that he was not and never will be a great player, he is a hero to many geordies. Even if he had only scored seven goals in his career (against the Maccems) it would have been worth it. But I actually think before the injuries he had the potential to make it at the top level. The biggest setback in his career came when Shepherd signed Kluivert without consulting with Bobby Robson, and it appears that his contract required him to be played even though he was unfortunately past his best by then. Shola rarely got games then except wide left, with Shearer and Bellamy also in the squad.
242 Jail for Ashley // Jul 28, 2013 at 4:23 PM
Low fell mug,
A dislike to the way Mashley is running the club makes me a mackem, agreeing with the renaming of the stadium, the defamation of two club legends and letting his former best mate run naked on our hallowed turf would on further investigation make you sound more like a supporter of our lowly rivals.

Shola should be 4th or 5th choice, as he used to be when we had a decent squad. He is OK for ten minutes at the end of the game, unfortunately he usually comes on for one of Pardews Patsy’s an Anita or Marveuax, rather than Tiote or Jonas, that’s the maddening thing about the whole situation.
Anyway hes injured again, which is good news.

Personally think Ashley has put the club in a superb position, however he needs to kick on and employ a visionary manager that can get the best out of our superb technical players. Graham Carr has pound for pound constructed the best squad the club could ever have had for the money invested, he is the true hero of the club currently.
Thank you Graham Carr you are a legend.

‘the ball fell to Ameobi 8 yards out’ according to the official site. Doesn’t sound like it was first touch from a corner

Would you say that after having us relegated almost relegated and giving one of the worst managers on paper in our history an eight year contract and having a well publicised 130M pound debt on top of our 137M pound asking price which makes us unsellable is a good position.

305 potski // Jul 28, 2013 at 5:07 PM
Thanks Mactooon, I believe in quality not quantity;)
I do read the “overly ignorant ramblings”. It at least raises the occasional laugh. One earlier ranting why we didn’t start today with young Campbell, then we read in the official match report:
“85mins: A final outfield change for Newcastle – Adam Campbell is on for Yoan Gouffran . Campbell played the full 90 minutes yesterday in the under-21s’ 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock and will get another five minutes under his belt here.”

I like Haidara but would like us to be in a position where a player has to play well or loses his place rather than just have a player who can cover ie RTaylor, also Pieters by all accounts is a capable CB also.
