Geordie in Peace

[The Fish]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?
Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?


Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

Anytime lid

 

[Cena]

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

I think top 7 is realistic but it is going to be difficult as we do not know how Martinez will settle in. Definitely top 10

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

We need a midfielder with an engine, hopefully Ross Barkley will step up this season, but a midfielder and maybe another striker will help

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

Our new boy from Barca, Deloufeu. Also interested to see how Negredo does at Man City

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

I think Darron Gibson and Kevin Mirallas. Gibson has been outstanding and if Mirallas continues where he left off, we have a very very good player on our hands who could change draws into wins

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Although ultimately some players will be disappointing, I am in hope that none of them will

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

Not just saying it because it is you, but Newcastle away, we always do a weekend up in Newcastle me and me mates, couldn't do it last season because it was a New Year game. Also, Villa & West Brom away as I love the Midlands away days and also West Ham away, love going there.

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

Most, Newcastle for the night out. Least, Liverpool, I hate derbies, horrible horrible days.

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

2-0 Weir & Cahill that more or less secured us 4th place in 2005

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

I just can't believe you have gone back for him. I know you didn't have a great season last year, but you were never going to do any worse. Now Kinnear is there, it seems to have created a bit of an uneasy feeling which could set you back. I don't for one minute think you'll get relegated or anything daft like that, but everything at Newcastle just seems really unsettled that you could struggle. Alternatively, it could have the opposite effect and you could have a great season, we'll see.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

Ben Afra, Cabeye are the obvious ones, but I think you have a smashing Goalkeeper.

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

I'm sorry, but he is a massive tit. I don't know how you put up with someone so obnoxious. I'd walk in the sea if he ever became our manager. I really think you could do so much better. Some of the stuff he spouts - seriously, why do you put up with it?

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

If you make a few decent signings and keep Kinnear out of the press you could suprise again like you did a few years ago, a top 10 minimum, however I do worry if the circus around Kinnear and your club will harm you and you could have a similar year to last. If your home form improves from last year, you will be sound.






Hope thats ok mate, and welcome

 

[ijjysmith]

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

Hard to tell. New manager might be just what we needed after Moyes had got a bit stagnant, or on the flip side it may show we were over achieving after all.

Either way finishing below where we did last season would be a disappointment to everyone.

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

We need a number 10. Someone who can unlock a defence. Then we need a proper striker to actually put the ball in the net.

Barkley, Deulofeu and Kone might be these people but who knows really.

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

Interested to see how Leroy Fer's knee holds up at Norwich.

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

This should be Ross Barkley's breakout year.

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Tim Howard probably.

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

The derby games, the Saints games (I live in Southampton) and the Spurs games (my brother is a Spurs fan).

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

Saints away most looking forward to
Would have said Liverpool away as least looking forward to but that may change if we actually have a go.

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

There a few that stand out, but when Cahill sealed the Champions League spot against you that was special.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

Without being nasty it's bloody funny. Not a fan of Pardew for obvious reasons, and I'm thoroughly enjoying a fat old bloke ruining your club a little bit more each day.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

Cisse would score for us I think. I used to like Steven Taylor when he was linked with us for about 5 straight summers.

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

He's a nobhead mate. And I think you all know it too. Saying things like 'Newcastle are in a different league to Everton' and nearly getting relegated the next season does not show him in a good light.

Also heard a lot of bad stories about him when he was down here with Saints c

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

Somewhere in the middle at a guess.

 

[Housequake]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

If we keep a hold of Baines/Fellaini and invest wisely in any one of the two that leaves, top 8 at least, good cup run to boot, see if Bobby can hold it for another year (wishful thinking?)

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

Even if/with Fellaini staying a good, reliable and experienced central midfielder, another wideman wouldn't hurt.

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

Navas, he's absolutely lightning and it's about time City got a bit of width.

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

Hard to say under new management, hopefully Barkley, i'm not alone in wanting to see much more of him.

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Jelavic if he stays, he's just a piss poor footballer and if he's not slotting there's no point in him being on the field.

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

The derby of course, that's about it, I tend to look for difficult runs rather than any particular game, although City at home is up there considering we hand them a lesson year on year at Goodison.

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

Honestly can't answer that until we're well into the season, if Moyes was still here any of the big 4/Liverpool.

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

2-0 opening day back in 1996, Speed and Unsworth scoring on the day Shearer made his debut for you, that was my first season actually going to the match, cracking game but the rest of the season was a complete blowout.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

He's a cockney spiv who's more trouble than help, Ashley must have something on him, surely?

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

Ben Arfa without a doubt, would've said Sissoko but he seems to have lost that early buzz about him, Cissé another puzzler.

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

No disrespect mate but I can't stand the [Poor language removed], the look on his face when McFadden scored that worldie against Charlton years ago was a f*cking picture.

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

Definitely the bottom half, I think even yourselves will be open enough to admit things are shaky at the minute, with Kinnear on board though you're bound to be entertaining though!

Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

There you go mate.

 

[sharkey1001]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season? Europa League place & League Cup win

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this? We don't. Just dont sell Baines & Fellaini

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing? Navas - flying machine

Which of your players do you predict having a big season? Ross Barkley - under a manager who can nurture talent unlike Moyes

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season? Heitinga if he stays

Which fixtures do you immediately look for? LPool, Man U, promoted sides away

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least? Hate Old Trafford, like Fulham

What's your most memorable game against NUFC? 2-0 in 1996. Ferguson and the late, great Gary Speed goals. You had just signed Shearer i think

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle? Absolute joke, he is a clown as is Mike Ashley

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side? Ben Arfa
Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth? He isnt a premier league manager - he is classless

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?12th or lower




Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

I think morale at Newcastle will be at an all-time low. Will be interesting/funny to see who Kinnear signs.

 

[Azzurri]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

European togger, maybe one of the cups


Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

Would love a proper forward as I'm not sure Kone's up to it and we could do with a creative midfielder.


Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

Schurrle for Chelsea and Fer at Norwich just to see wheher we made a mistake or not.


Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

Kevin Mirallas. If he stays fit he'll be lightning.


Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Maybe Deulofeu. Just think the Premier League might be too quick and physical for him.


Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

Liverpool home and away plus the Christmas ones.


Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

West Ham away as we'ce got a good chance and it's always good fun. Least possibly Southampton as I'm not going.


What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

When you hammered us about 6-1, sadly.


Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

He's an idiot. Simple as.


Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

Cabaye can play but he's a bit of a snide. I also rate that Krul. Cisse would do a job for us better than anything we've got at the moment I think and I'd have Ben Arfa coming off the bench.


Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

He's an absolute bulb as the 'different league' comments have shown. Should never have offered him 8 years off the back of one good season.


Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

9th if things go alright, lower if Kinnear f*cks everything up.


Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

[bluemangroup]

Mr Fish, are you the one who goes on other teams sites, winds them up and then reports back to your site in the thread "Gone Fishing" or something? I cant remember the website, like.

Edit: Toontastic i think it is.

 

[MikeH72]

What's a realistic aim for your team this season? 5th

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this? Central/attacking midfield to replace older players like Osman and Pienaar

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing? As far as Everton are concerned, I can't wait to see Deulofeu. Outside of Everton, I'm expecting big things of Wilfried Bony this season, can't see him sticking around at Swansea

Which of your players do you predict having a big season? Kevin Mirallas if he stays fit

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season? I'd say Naismith or Gueye but nothing is expected of them anyway. Tim Howard has been rapidly declining in the last few years and I'd expect him to be replaced by Joel at some stage this season

Which fixtures do you immediately look for? The filth, home and away. And this season, Man United at home

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least? Most: Spurs, no idea why. Least: Stoke or the ****e

What's your most memorable game against NUFC? 2005, a 2-0 win to seal 4th. Goals from Davie Weir and Cahill. I quite enjoyed that 3-0 game in about 2006 when Martins nearly found the Mersey with a penalty

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle? Strange, can't understand the appointment

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side? Cabaye. That's it

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth? He's one of the least likeable people in football and needs a slap

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season? 10th

 

[bainesontoast]

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

Realistically I'd take a top half finish while qualifying for European football next season. Ideally it'd be the Champions League but starting from the 2014/15 season the Europa League will no longer be a joke competition thanks to their being Champions League football on offer to the winner. We have a new manager who is already enforcing a new style so achieving the above would be progress as far as I'm concerned, even if we finish lower in the league than last season.

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

Assuming there are no sales, we still need a CM capable of covering for Gibson for the games he will no doubt be injured for next season given his injury history. We really missed him last season when he was out. It's amazing how quickly he's become so important for us.

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

I'm looking forward to watching Fernandinho at City and Cornelius at Cardiff.

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

I can a few of our attacking players improving with having the ball played to their feet more than Moyes allowed for. Coleman could have a huge season if Martinez goes down the route I think he will.

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

Anyone who can't adapt quickly will be disappointing. I wouldn't like to name any names at this stage cause it's still early in pre season.

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

Personally, I always look for the one closest to my birthday (Villa away this season). Of course, I go looking for when the derby games are too.

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

My favourite away game is Southampton. I love the trip down to the coast, especially if the weather is like it is now. Cardiff should be a good trip this season because it's a nice city.
I'm not looking forward to Hull away (because it's Hull) or Arsenal (because our record against them is awful).

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

Well, last season both games were pretty memorable! You won't get that much luck against us at Goodison this season b) Historically, I remember a cup game we won on penalties a few years back being a good one at St James'.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

Quite frankly, it's an absolute comedy show observing it as a non-Newcastle supporter. Can't imagine how the supporters must feel about it when it makes even an outsider cringe.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

I would have said Cabaye but I saw a side to him during the Cahill incident I wouldn't want at my club. He's a very good player but his attitude doesn't impress me. The same applies to Ben Arfa. Another very good player but he has attitude problems. I think both of those players would jump ship at Newcastle given the opportunity, they are only in it for themselves and not the club. I wouldn't want that sort of player at Everton.

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

I'm going to try and put this as nicely as possible but I really, really dislike like Pardew. He's directly insulted Everton before with some of his comments and he strikes me as being deluded over his ability as a manager due to one season of almost making the Champions League.

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

It depends on whether or not what's going on behind the scenes affects the squad. It seems like there is a lot of negative influences around at Newcastle and that it hinders your ambitions as a club. In terms of player quality, you should be a top half team but you won't get to see the quality if the heart isn't there.

Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

There you go.

 

[Jacko93]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?

No lower than 7th.

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?

I think we've strengthened the most important areas, by bringing in a bit of depth to teh forward line. But cant help but think we need something a little bit extra up there. If we keep all who are Everton players now, (except heitinga can go) then 7th is easily achievable

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?

There are going to be a few of interest this year, but I'm really excited at just how good Mirallas could be this season. If he steps up to the plate, he could really make the difference.

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?

Mirrallas and Jelavic (hopefully)

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?

I expect none to have a poor season.

Which fixtures do you immediately look for?

First home, Last home, and any date which is around Birthdays, events, or big boxing dates.

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?

Stoke least. Horrid place, with horrid fans, and you dont get cheered up by the football. Citeh most. Likely to be in corporate (booooooo)

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?

I only remember the bad stuff. the challenge on Anichebe. Last seasons 4-2 draw. and finally, Shearers volley, which was absolute quality to be fair.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?

If it absolutely destroys Pardew, then I'm all for it.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?

None, thanks.

Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?

The best part of Pardew ran down his mothers arse crack.

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?

I fully expect relegation battles start to finish.


Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

No worries.

 

[blue61]

What's a realistic aim for your team this season?
To play a more attractive brand of football and have a chance of Europe

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this?
If we keep hold of our current squad, we need to add some quality in the defensive midfield position, plus a striker who can score 15+ goals

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing?
Looking forward to seeing your new lad Wonga, did you sign him on installments?

Which of your players do you predict having a big season?
Kevin Mirallas, if fully fit and motivated will be a superstar this season.

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season?
Hope I'm wrong, but Jelavic (if he's still here)


Which fixtures do you immediately look for?
First game, last game, boxing day, the sh*te, plus when I'm on holiday (damn you Chelsea)

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least?
The most - Man Utd just to hear the crowd boo Moyes' substitutions. The least - always Stoke.

What's your most memorable game against NUFC?
When Everton somehow won 1-0 at Goodison in 1985 after Gazza and Beardsley had completely played them off the park. One of the best away performances I've seen at Goodison without getting any reward. We won the league that year.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle?
Unbelievable. Mike Ashley must have a deathwish. Kinnear is a complete tool, it will all end in tears.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side?
Not many to be honest. Ben Arfa perhaps, if he wasn't such a cocky, greedy get.
Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth?
Alan Pardew is a tool of the highest order, I'm sure Ashley has realised this, which is why he's hired agent Joe to force him out. He's not playing games, he's just a c*ck. Nothing personal like. I think he's average at best.

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season?
If they get off to a reasonable start, then mid table. If there's trouble within the camp, which I suspect there will be at some point, it could all turn sour, especially when Kinnear is the temporary manager.

 

[Jags..class]

All right lads, in preparation for the new season I thought I'd get the lay of the land from Premier League clubs before it kicks off and the majority of us are too depressed to answer a bunch of questions from a stranger.

What's a realistic aim for your team this season? Top 10 now we have a new manager, hopefully a good cup run as well.

Where do your team need to strengthen to achieve this? An attacking CM

Which new Premier League players are you looking forward to seeing? Barkley and Defoufeu

Which of your players do you predict having a big season? Barkley and Gibson

Which of your players do you expect to have a disappointing season? Erm hopefully none, maybe Pienaar

Which fixtures do you immediately look for? Liverpool, this year also Man u so we can beat Moyes.

Which away game are you looking forward to the most/least? Looking forward to Man u away and Liverpool the least as we are depressing at Anfield

What's your most memorable game against NUFC? I have a terrible memory, the one where Victor got took out by Nolan.

Newcastle have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons again, what's your take on the Kinnear debacle? Not really bothered, to be honest I thought the Newcastle fans over reacted.

Which Newcastle players would you like to see in your side? Wouldn't say no to the French players such as Cabaye and Arfa
Pardew winds up quite a few opposition managers, what's your take on him? Is he just playing games? Or is he an Average/Bad manager with a mouth? To be honest I don't rate him, he all mouth and no action, recken Newcastle could attract a better manager to be honest.

Where do you expect Newcastle to finish this season? Between 10th and 16th unless the club make some more canny signings and keep hold of their best players, they might finish top ten.


Thanks in advance for any and all answers. I'll be back here to collate them before sticking them on a Newcastle site before the season kicks off.

No problem mate

 

[Deloodid]

Im missing the Chelsea game as well. there as always been international friendlies over that weekend! but the year i book a holiday, there isnt! fume!
