Newcastle United arrived at the City of Manchester stadium with the intention of trying to bully City into losing, the very same tactics used by Sunderland and Blackburn early on in the season.
Remember that player that beat the hell out of a French footballer on the training ground, yes that's Joey Barton the same person who committed plenty of late tackles in the game against City.
He was not the only Newcastle player who turned up to play the tough game though, it is only right we point out how the rest of the Newcastle players acted as well.
Newcastle picked up two yellows in the space of the first 22 minutes, Newcastle fans would have you believe Williamson never fouled Tevez and that it was never a penalty. Looking at the replay it may have not been in the 18 yard box but Williamson took him out from behind, to me it looks like it is right on the 18 yard line.
A Man United fan contacted Skysports to give his view, now my bet is on all City fans knowing exactly what this chump had to say.
Named after the preacher son of god, Jesus from Portland, Oregon said "I'm a Die Hard Man United fan and I root for anyone against City, I especially like Joey Barton and like new boys that come up do well."
This could not possibly be a glory hunting American United fan thinking Joey Barton came through the ranks at Newcastle could it?
Another chump on the anti City bandwagon is The Mails Graham Poll, talk is of the trailing leg and oh how exciting this subject is.
No one was ripping into Roy Keane when he was committing these acts on fellow professionals while at Man United, oh no and why?
The man even freely admitted guilt in his autobiography and still these chumps worship him like the hand of god is worshiped for his cheating ways.
The point is we are a minority now and will have to get used to being public enemy number one, I am quite liking being public enemy number one but why may you be thinking.
For years we have been playing some great football never to profit, we were also never a malicious or rough and tough club.
Now we are the richest club in the world everyone wants a piece of us and they all up their game against us, they all have the under dog syndrome.
sound familiar?
We have hopped the fence from under dog town to top dog City, we are no longer the under dog we once were. OK maybe we still are to the elite but not anymore to the rest of the pack we have left behind.
That does not mean to say the elite wont be joining in when the under dogs start whining in the alleys of the world wide web.
If you come to City to give it the rough treatment and try to run us into submission then don't expect us to role over and take it.
Camera's show our player did not maliciously cause harm, it was just unlucky and could happen to anyone.
Crikey what game were you watching?????
ReplyDeleteAs a Toon fan i didnt think there was anything malicious in De Jong's tackle just unfortunate, however to say we came to try and bully city is utter rubbish it was a fair game. Regarding the penalty decision i thought it was bang on the line and therefore was a penalty, but equally Shola being tripped by Lescott was definately a penalty. Hopefully the media will leave off De Jong, and Focus more on Henry of Wolves who's a total disgrace!!
ReplyDeleteEr, the bully game? Thats not how I saw the game mate. I saw it as quite evenly contested and would have been a quality game, barring a few TERRIBLE refereeing decisions.
ReplyDeleteI also think there was no malice in the challenge which broke Ben Arfas leg. De Jong was laying down a marker, letting Ben Arfa know he's in a game. Mistakes are made.
I don't understand why you're having a snipe at everyone? Playing the victim card already? You don't need to justify a lucky win (that's exactly what it was). Just take the win and know it'll all balance out in the end.
For the money that's been spent on the squad you lot have, you should hope for alot more, and hopefully, when the sides settles down, you'll start kicking arse and taking names.. Change the top4 a bit anyway..
OMG pal....did you actually watch the game. Newcastle actually gave us a game and tried to play football against us, unlike most other clubs who shut up shop.
ReplyDeleteWhat?? The camara shows the trailing leg break the leg of Ben Arfa. At the very least it was a foul. I didnt think Newcsatle came to play a tough game if anything City kicked a bit more than were kicked.
ReplyDeleteIts very easy to have a go at Barton for his past, I didnt notice him doing much wrong yesterday newcastle deserved a point. With a stronger ref thats the least they would have got. Chelsea and Man U dont have much to worry about. If yesterdays performance is anything to go by it will be a while and a few more quid down the line till city are serious challengers.
People are not haveing a go at city because they are rich, I think they are having a go at de Jong because on reflection it was a bad tackle, putting a player out for six months.
Well said mate! I agree 100%. I'm already tired of all these hypocrits in the media and fans of other clubs. Comparing De Jong's tackle to Henry's is ridiculous! As for refs decisions, refs at OT have been disgraceful for years! It's about time we had some luck!
ReplyDeleteIve published the reasonable Toon fans comments but for the record, most of the Toon fans comments left here which I refuse to publish, are calling for DeJong's head on a golden platter.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention insults because they don't agree with the article.
Don't try to deny your tactics, the very same tactics every other club has started playing versus us, running at breakneck speed when you have not got the ball.
Joey Barton may not be the aggressive tool he once was on the outside, but he aint no different on the inside.
All the Toon fans paint him as a reformed player but the rest of us see him as clear as daylight.
I have nothing to say about Newcastles call for a penalty other than seeing a very quick and intelligent Newcastle striker seeing Lescott come for the tackle and play the ball perfectly.
Your so called penalty winner tried to force a penalty and had plenty of time to move out the way of Lescotts honest tackle.
Another thing that stengthens my opinion is that, they are all calling for Dejong to be punished and using his past tackle on Alonso as some kind of backup.
ReplyDeleteBut when someone brings up Bartons past against Newcastle its completely and utterly wrong.
Newcastle did not park the bus like most of them do against us and that was their mistake but they sure played the tough card and anyone thinking otherwise clearly only saw what they wanted too.
Who came to bully?
ReplyDelete3 minutes on the clock and Man City's De Jong breaks Newcastle's Star players leg! The Player most likely to do damage to Man City and threaten their goal.
De Jong meant to hurt Newcastle's Star player!
Did he mean to break his leg? NO!!!
But he still did it, and there was still intent to hurt him. His Swinging trailing right leg shows this clearly.
DeJong has previous:
Dejong vs Japan
Dejong vs USA
DeJong vs Denmark
DeJong vs Spain
There are many more examples of dangeros reckless tackles from DeJong that could have potentially broken a players ankle or leg.
Re-watch the Man City games against the top 4 last season. There are definitely instances where he has gone in recklessly.
And WHY DID YOU NOT PUT MY POST UP? I didn't swear at you or insult you?
I questioned whether you watched the game.
I said you where blinkered because you have your Man City sunglasses on.
Oh and please tell me what did Joey Barton do that was so terrible vs Man City yesterday?
I ask you AGAIN! If a Man City player had there leg broken 3 minutes into a match by a reckless dangerous challenge.....would the Man City players not play a bit more of a physical game against their opponents?
Why do you refuse to put up my posts. Because they DON'T AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION!
Typical.
I did print your comment or are you blind?
ReplyDeleteYes Newcastle came out to Bully, did you have a problem reading what I said?
This is exactly what I mean as I quote you.
'De Jong meant to hurt Newcastle's Star player!
Did he mean to break his leg? NO!!!
But he still did it, and there was still intent to hurt him.'
So let me get this right, Dejong did not mean to break his leg but did mean to hurt him?
You just accused Dejong of meaning to hurt Ben and then said Dejong did not mean to break his leg.
So Dejong did not mean to break Ben's leg and so there was no maliciousness so then the referee got it right and straight from your own mouth.
Dejong played the ball, simple as and this trailing legs issue is no subject.
Ben was just unlucky, the Fa are not doing anything about it, the referee did not change his mind and got it right and Hollands coach is just a prat who is saving face for Holland by dropping Dejong.
For goodness sake. Do you really watch football?
ReplyDeleteYES!!!! DeJong went in to hurt Ben Arfa
that does not mean he meant to hurt him so badly that it broke his leg!
DeJong has gone in to that challenge, with the intent of giving Ben Arfa a bit of a kick and a knock, in order to scare him and let him know he's in a physical game. Did DeJong need to go into the tackle with such reckless and excessive force? Could he have won the ball without going into the challenge like that? The answer is Yes. Which should be even further indication of his intent to hurt the player.
When players go out to do that, and also fly in with a dangerous and reckless excessive force, things like Broken legs happen!!! It should not be allowed to happen!
We will scare off all the skillful players from the Premier League. Ronaldo was right in what he said on leaving the Prem. And Torres saying he won't last another 5 years in this league.
You really watch football? And have NEVER EVER heard of a player going into a tackle with the intent of leaving a foot in to give a more skillful player a bit of a kick and a knock, so that the next time that player has the ball they are more concerned with looking over their shoulder than on their own football. or that that skillful player is perhaps even scared to play their normal game, which would usually do great damage to the opposing teams defence and goal!??!!
I mean just watch El Clasico of 2008/09 season. All Madrid did was kick Messi the whole match to stop him playing his normal game!
NOTE: you did not post my previous comments! I don't see the one where I said you were blinkered and asking you what you are on? It must be another anonymous posters comment that you think is mine.
all R Madrid did was kick Messi around you say, and that is the same as one tackle on one player in one game.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you say and for the record, the only blinkered person I can see is you.
So intent on trying to prove Dejong is guilty that you are taking the stance of a fanatic.
Get a grip, Dejong did not intend to hurt Ben at all, you obviously no nothing about football yourself because if you did you would know once a tackle is committed there is no way of pulling out of it.
It was an accident, the referee see it, the FA dont deem it malicious and City do not either.
The world see it also but the only ones whining are Newcastle fans and the anti City bandwagon.
