vs Jets

To be fair, there was a comment from Dewhurst about the 55th min which was quite accurate. We were a bit more awake but a still ugly.

We've scored a goal and the confidence lifts. Still doesn't mean we have played well. I'll take the ugly win though

7524. Does that accound for the free kids and if so, how many? Agent 472009-01-04 20:33:45

Question for you Agent47.

At any moment in a game who is the most important player on the field?

goes to show u can't count smeltz out, might not be in the game sometimes but he'll always pop up and what a finish, very nicely done

crowd 7524

The Refere. He giveth penalties, he takeith away penalties Agent 472009-01-04 20:34:54

Good, Daniel staying on. Ferrrente off for Christie.

Christie on for Ferrante. Called it half time.

I rest my case Stack

No, not the ref. The most important PLAYER is the one without the ball. Not sure what game you are watching but Ferrante has done a great job of killing opposition space, guiding opposition attackers away from dangerous positions and ferrying them to where our defenders are. He has also diligently tracked his runners and killed off 1-2 chances. He may not have done much on the ball but off it he has been superb. Turn the commentary off and watch whats going on where the ball isnt. He has been one of our best players.

Server crash.

Listen to Dewhurst? Are you taking the piss? Ferrante has done nothing without the ball, this week and last week.

I was taking the piss when I said the referee

I could argue the keeper because he saves goals, the striker because he scores them, the central midfielder because he is the field marshall (isn't that where Ferrante was playing? Is he doing that? Do we look directionless for the last 145mins before that Bertos goal) and the sweeper because he sees it all unfold in front of him

Oh now I now you are a joke

Hah, now he gives the pen.

Penalty. hearfield bundled over. Smeltz lines it up, roof of the net, 3-0 cue shots of topless men in the crowd.

Referee gives a penalty to Bertos. Gets bumbled over travelling along the top of the box.

Smeltz converts 3-0 86 gone.

Wasn't there something in the last podcast about Smeltz not getting 12 goals??

A bit soft but payback for that horrible challenge on Smeltz a few minutes before.

Hurrah, Smeltz converts a penalty earned by Hearfield! Time to bring on Costa for a quick run perhaps?

Costa on for Hearfield

No I think I've called it pretty accurately. I would ask what game you are watching but its apparent you aren't actually watching whats happening in front of you.

Kwasnik on for ....

Smeltzwolfman2009-01-04 20:51:34

Jesus now if thats not a yellow cards dive then I don't know what is.

Smeltz off Kwasnik on 2 to go

3 minutes of added time

Maybe Piney has a point - I've watched all three games this weekend, and 2nd half added tiime has been 3minutes every time

Truly a game of two halves. sh*t and sluggish in the first half but great in the second. Top 4 still on.

well played all around, MOM moss, if not for his efforts game could have turned out very differently, tarek El**ch will be asking ahmed to give him plenty of slaps with his man boobies!

excellent. Still in with a shout... and more daylight between us and those behind also.

you beauty 3 points in the bag, that's all that matters

My streaming was really choppy for 70 mins, so not a lot I can say about individual performances. Moss made some good saves, Daniel, Bertos and Hearfield looked busy.

Looked as though we got slaughtered in the 1st half, more even in the second, and finally looked more confident going forward once we went 1-0 up.

Wooot!

Well done boys, 3-0 well deserved

I'm interested to see if Oi Oi still gives everyone 7's on that performance.

well Phoenix Team Coach Russell Nixon really earned his paycheck with an inspirational half time pep talk. A vast improvement on the first 45 minutes I felt. foal302009-01-04 21:07:59

Who?

Hehe, they're spewing on the Newcastle forums. Covc is getting a large amount of sh*t.
