Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder
said:
"I was happy with the performance. The boys have taken a little bit of
flak over the last month or so and I told them before the game that this
was an opportunity to get some pride back and show the supporters they
are prepared to show the bravery and courage you need when you are
playing the double champions. They did that today. I do not think there
was a poor performance from any of our players and it was probably a
fair result."
Chelski manager HooOOOoooozaaaaa Mourinio said:
“I am ze specail waaaan. Ze world is against us. Newcastle told me zey
wheren't going to turn up and zey did. Zey should have all been
shot... Our players complained to the ref zat ze scummy northerners
made eye contact with zem. If we 'ad been Man Utd we would have had ze
10 million penalties. It...it doesn't not bother me. I was so
confident of our victory I went to the shops during the match. There is
no Harrods in Newcastle. Zey should be shot. I am beautiful so is my
team. How dare you make eye contact with me. You are against me along
with the rest of ze world. I'm now going to shrug my shoulders and
pout. You may admire me.” |

Pieman's Leazes View:
Go on, admit it. When you heard Bramble was on y' thought Drogba is
going to get a hat full. Then when Wright-Philips' name was mentioned
y' thought “Oh bugger. Carr is going to get a lesson in football” Well
there was nowt to worry about.
Yes. Yes. Bramble did his customary mistake about 20 mins in to the
second half, but Mr Taylor and Mr Butt where there to mop up the mess
and clear the ball off the line. Steve Carr had probably his best game
in a black and white shirt. Yes, he could have passed the ball a bit
earlier in the first 15 mins when he skinned their left back we may have
snuck a goal, but Chelski had packed the area with players. Apart from
that he played a blinder. In fact the whole back line where legends.
NAY. The whole team where great! Ok so Martins first touch was a bit
iffy and Dyer was...erm....Dyer was rubbish. He was doing a sound job
on the right for the first 20 mins then vanished out the game when he
moved up front, leaving poor Solano up against 3 players.
The game ended up being very similar to the Arsenal game, both teams
moved the ball round well, it was a great game to watch and yet neither
keeper had much to do. The opposition brought on all three of their
subs but they didn't really cause any problems apart from Joe Cole
whistling the ball past the post late on.
Roeder left bringing Carroll on till a bit to late in the game. He was
defo up for it but wasn't really given the chance to show what he can
do.
In the end a draw was a fair result tho a couple of goals each would
have shown how much effort was put in to the game.
There was a top couple of chants by the toon army near the end of the
game the first being “You're not champions any more” followed by “Next
year, you'll support Man U”.
