Newcastle United Football Club - Match reports - Blackburn Rovers (h)

The Blackburn Rovers match report is up at nufc.com.

Noted in particular was increased workrate from certain players which was commented on by plenty of other people, including myself, in the ground. This leads Biffa to pose the following pertinent question:
He, like more than one or two others though, must wonder why there was a general raising of the effort input and energy expended by his new charges - did they really despise Bobby so much?
Spot on - if this level of workrate had been reached consistently last season we would definitely have got CL and who knows what else.

The good thing about this is Souness has now seen what level of effort can be got out of them - I have a feeling that if anyone now drops below that level they'll be getting a hefty boot up the arse.

I'm off to put Lauren Robert in my Fantasy Football team.

He's already in mine.

I'd better not then - I don't want to emulate the team currently last! ;)

Seriouly though the biggest flaw in his game has been laziness - if that is a thing of the past he should be getting you big sackfuls o' points in the near future.

Without a doubt he is Newcastle's greatest talent and a lazy fscker.
He will probably pull his finger out of his @rse for a while then he will probably be sold as GS won't take his laziness like SBR did.

Where is The Great Bungholio?

mmChronic said...

I don't know - he hasn't been at work so far this week.

mmChronic said...

Or even committed suicide. I'm glad we have the NL Life Insurance Policy on him - I reckon that's a packet of biscuits share between us.

How about a "NewLinkers Gone Missing" league?
Top of the table should be whoever has'nt been seen for the longest time. Maybe that would shame some of our missing bloggers into action.

Well if a comment is an appearance Dogs popped in this morning - he left a comment under the 3000th post. But if it's posts he last popped in to say Souness was coming.

I reckon we need some more posting bodies on here. Then at least if most people can't be arsed there will still be some who will.

Comments would'nt count.

As for bungholio working on the tunnel report.I think mm should look at the flying pig gif i sent him a while back. :)

mmChronic said...

In that case Dogs is def the longest missing. But he's not allowed out to play anymore the big gayer.

Now if Bungers turns up with the tunnel report not only do we want a flying pig but we want it playing Rule Britannia on a trombone too...
