JOSE ENRIQUE, WE’RE IN THE TOP SIX!!!

Yesterday Newcastle United humiliated their former manager, Kenny Dalglish, and his Liverpool side at St. James’ Park.  Clueless “King” Kenny watched as his side slumped to a 2-0 defeat and finished the game with ten men.

The game was billed as the decider for a top six finish, with Newcastle beginning the game eight points clear of Liverpool.  It also saw the returns of Jose Enrique and Andy Carroll to St. James’ Park.  Another former Magpie, Craig Bellamy, also started for Liverpool.

Jose Enrique left St. James’ under a bitter cloud after publicly criticising the club’s transfer policy on Twitter.  He stated “This club will never again fight to be among the top 6 again with this policy” after claiming Newcastle were letting all of their major players go.  Has anybody actually missed Jose though?  We started the season with Ryan Taylor at left-back and he was superb.  His goals against Everton and more specifically the free-kick against Sunderland have helped make him a fan’s favourite.  While Davide Santon has struggled to settle in and failed to impress, I still believe we have gotten by just fine without Enrique and guess what Jose…

We’re in the top six!

Andy Carroll cut a pretty miserable figure on his return too.  He was constantly booed and looked a shadow of the player he was when he played in black and white.  I didn’t boo Andy Carroll though, I still like him and Liverpool are my third favourite team, after The Toon and Everton.  I also like Bellamy because he’s an absolute dick-head, but he has the swagger to be able to carry off being a dick-head.  I just don’t like Kenny Dalglish because he ruined us when he was our manager, and I don’t like Enrique because I’ve always thought he was overrated and arrogant.

Liverpool started the game the livelier of the two sides.  A Jonjo Shelvey shot was deflected just over the cross-bar early on and a Martin Skrtel header went over the top before one of the game’s big talking points.  Andy Carroll got the better of Mike Williamson and looked to have rounded Tim Krul before taking a tumble inside the Newcastle penalty area.  He was booked for diving and that epitomised what was a very bad afternoon for Andy Carroll.  If he hadn’t have dived then he was round Tim Krul with an easy finish, even though it was on his wrong foot.

Liverpool continued to press and Tim Krul was forced into a brilliant save when he tipped a deflected Craig Bellamy cross onto the bar as he continues to impress in between the sticks for The Toon.  I still stand by my claims that Tim Krul will become better than Peter Schmeichel ever was.  The visitors from Merseyside also had a very good shout for a penalty waved away after Danny Simpson made yet another goal line clearance, only this time with his arm.

The first goal came in the 19^th minute.  Hatem Ben Arfa, enjoying possibly his best form since joining Newcastle, got the better of the Liverpool defence before his perfectly weighted cross found Papiss Cisse in acres of space at the back post, leaving Cisse with a simple header to put The Toon in front.  It was brilliant work by both Ben Arfa, who really seems to be finding his feet now, and Cisse, who’s positioning was outstanding.  I’m still not convinced that Papiss Cisse is fully settled in yet, although he is a natural born goal-scorer.  I think the best of Cisse is still to come!

Cisse also came close to doubling his tally near the end of the first half when he directed a header just wide of Pepe Reina’s post from a Danny Guthrie cross.  The teams went down the tunnel at half-time with The Toon leading but one goal.

At half-time Me Fatha asked me what we needed to do to make sure that we won this game.  I simply replied, “Score another goal.”

In the second half a Newcastle side full of confidence overshadowed a dejected Liverpool side and almost doubled their lead within minutes of the restart when Mike Williamson hit the post with a header.

Papiss Cisse made it 2-0 in the 59^th minute when he again found himself in plenty of space with an easy back post tap in after some brilliant Newcastle build-up play typical of a side brimming in confidence.

Tim Krul made a rare mistake just after the hour which allowed Luis Suarez a free chance on goal but another in form Newcastle player, James Perch, made a crucial block.

Things went from bad to worse for Kenny Dalglish’s side in the 81^st minute.  Mike Williamson had another header on goal, which this time was saved by Pepe Reina.  As Reina ran out with the ball James Perch tripped the Liverpool goalkeeper.  The reaction of Pepe Reina was that of a stroppy child, he confronted Perch and head-butted him.  Perch over dramatised the matter, which seems commonplace in the Premier League these days, and threw himself to the ground.  There was a bit of fracas with players from both sides involved before the referee took control of the situation and rightly showed Perch a yellow card before sending Pepe Reina off.  Reina’s petulance continued as he didn’t leave the pitch in a hurry only serving to run down the clock.  He continued to shout at James Perch as he left the field and appeared to be saying that more would come after the match.  It was all very petty stuff from the embarrassed goalkeeper.  Reina’s sending off meant that Jose Enrique was forced into seeing out the remainder of the game in goal for Liverpool as Kenny Dalglish had already used all of his substitutes.

The matched finished 2-0 and Newcastle extended their lead over Liverpool to eleven points, tied on points with fifth-placed Chelsea and ten points clear of Everton in seventh place.  That almost certainly guarantees us a top six finish.  So much for Jose Enrique!

Liverpool look to be a club on the slide, whereas Newcastle are a club on the rise.  Andy Carroll has failed to find his form and Kenny Dalglish is now coming under fire.  Newcastle can take positives from the performances of certain players in recent games and now have some momentum going into Friday’s game at Swansea, after winning our last two games.  Hatem Ben Arfa followed up his Man of the Match performance against West Brom with another brilliant display and was involved in creating both of Papiss Cisse’s goals.  Cisse again showed his killer touch and his brilliant positioning play with the two goals.  James Perch was outstanding again, as he has been in recent games and looks as though he is constantly improving.  For me James Perch was the Man of the Match.

GEORDIE BOYS TAKING PAPISS!

I DON’T WANT THE WORLD TO END ON TUESDAY

PECULIAR DISCO MOVES

One of my most recent discoveries are Peculiar Disco Moves.  This Newcastle based five-piece came to my attention after replying to my blog asking for musicians to perform at my live events.

https://mallazmalcolmwhite.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/musicians-wanted-for-gigs/

Peculiar Disco Moves are possibly one of the most refreshing new bands I have heard in a long time.  Telling witty tales of woe blended with totally contrasting melodies of merriment, they certainly have a unique sound to them and their music is highly addictive.

Their self-titled debut EP, released on 23^rd May 2011, is comprised of three infectious tracks that you could listen to on a loop for endless amounts of time.

There’s unbelievable intelligence in Peculiar Disco Moves’ lyrics and a sense of fun and individuality in their danceable Alternative Experimental Pop music.  A quirky and up-beat tempo to their tracks, with catchy melodies and memorable lyrics is expertly composed music.

Peculiar Disco Moves are a true revelation for me.  They inspire thoughts of a happier incarnation of Flowered Up, like Flowered Up without the smack.  As in like that… but completely different!  Totally individual!

The five members of Peculiar Disco Moves are Alix Shepherd on lead vocals and keys,  Adam Sinclair on vocals, percussion, synth and sampler, Jonathon Proud on vocals and bass, Lloyd Wright on vocals and guitar and their drummer, Danny Ward.  Their collective sound is truly incredible.

Alix’s rough vocals are cool and reminiscent of the early 90s Brit-Pop era and Peculiar Disco Moves’ lyrics are contagious.  After hearing the three tracks from the EP just a couple of times, you will find yourself instinctively singing along.

Alix’s bouncy keyboard play gives each track a really vibrant feel and is perfectly complimented by the synths operated by Adam, really set a buzzing dance tone.  This is particularly noticeable on the EP’s opening track, ‘I Don’t Want the World to End on Tuesday’ (I feel a particular fondness for this track as I have always said that Tuesday is the worst day of the week), and ‘Mr X’.

I’m a huge fan of percussion and Peculiar Disco Moves’ Adam utilises it with perfection.  Guitar riffs are expertly executed by Lloyd and are particularly noteworthy on the final track, ‘Manual Liar’.  The rhythm section with Proud on bass and Drummer Danny is impeccable throughout the EP, which as a debut leaves you itching for more.  The vocal harmonies tie these well-written works of art into truly outstanding tracks.

Intelligent lyrics, groovy bass, catchy keyboard melodies, perfectly complimented with synths and percussionary deliciousness, cool guitar riffs and expertly executed rhythm on the drums, Peculiar Disco Moves have an unique, individual vibe about them and are a really stand out act.

Peculiar Disco Moves seem to inspire thoughts of fun.  Their name is fun, their sound is fun and their EP cover is fun.  Not to mention the hats.  Check out Peculiar Disco Moves on Facebook (and like and/or share their page), and the self-titled EP on Bandcamp, on the following links.  Also check out their YouTube channel and watch the videos for their acoustic-country version of ‘I Don’t Want the World to End on Tuesday’ and their live performance of ‘Domestic Bliss’.

Peculiar Disco Moves – Peculiar Disco Moves

Currently their next confirmed live performance is at The Telegraph on Friday 4^th May.  An event hosted by Yours Truly.  Peculiar Disco Moves will be playing as part of a full night’s entertainment kicking off at 8pm and ending at 2am.  They’re also confirmed to play at Tynemouth Fake Festival, along with Artisam, the following day, Saturday 5^th May.  Their other confirmed date, so far, is Saturday 2^nd June when they perform at Newcastle’s Community Green Festival in Leazes Park.  As a regular attendee of the Green Festival, I can’t wait for that.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog with some musical recommendations for you.  There’s a few bands that I’m in the process of writing about but I wanted to fire a quick one out now.  Certain acts have stood out and made an impression on me but I have spoke of several of those acts in previous blogs.  Acts such as Ginger Snap & The Style Pile (Newcastle’s Ultimate Party Band), Honey Chrome (Tasty and Shiny) and (the region’s most versatile band) Artisam.  However, I have briefly touched on these acts before so thought I’d opt for something brand new with Peculiar Disco Moves.

You can read a bit about the bands above by clicking the links below if you’re too impatient to wait for a more in-depth description.  I have written about these acts before, but I have never featured them in my actual music recommendation’s blogs, so they will be coming soon (ish).

SAME OLD SHOLA ALWAYS SCORING!

HE'S HUNG LIKE THIS AND HE FUCKS MACKEMS!

NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-1 SUNDERLAND

Sunday 4^th March 2012

Yesterday was the big Tyne-Wear Derby and, although not as brilliant as last season’s 5-1 Demolition Derby, it was a brilliant game for the neutral.  As a Newcastle fan, I see it as two points dropped against a weaker side, same as the draw against Wolves before that.  Despite the injury time equaliser from the Mackem Slayer, Shola Ameobi, feeling like a winning goal at the time on the sole basis that it meant that the Mackems had failed to beat us once in the last five meetings, we had a poor first half but in the second half we hammered them and had the best of them over the course of the whole game.

According to some statistical stuff that you can find by clicking the link below, we had 29 attempts on goal compared to their MASSIVE 8.  The Toon had 19 corners, whereas the Sad Mackem Bastards had a HUGE total of 4.  We also dominated the game with 63% of the possession.

Even though 71% of all statistics are just made up on the spot, and statistics don’t lie, only statisticians, here’s where I sourced these ones.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/match/2012/mar/04/newcastleunited-v-sunderland

We were the better team and should have beaten the SMB.

The best place I’ve found for online video highlights of this exciting and adrenaline-pumping, yet bitterly disappointing encounter are through the next link, so why not have a gander for yourselves?

http://www.footballorgin.com/2012/03/premier-league-bbc-match-of-day-2-motd2.html

The game got off to a fierce start when Lee Cattermole was booked for one of his typically idiotic and overeager challenges on Cheick Tiote within 40 seconds.  A later foul against Tiote on Cattermole was given, although in my opinion (and if you watch the incident on the highlights) Tiote wins the ball, doesn’t touch Cattermole with his legs and at most it was a slight nudge.

This huge game at St. James’ Park was refereed poorly by Mike Dean, who is not held in the highest regard by Toon fans after he cost us the game against Chelsea, when he failed to send off David Luiz for an undisputable red card offence in the first few minutes.

Mike Dean – Chelsea Game Blog

Then about 20 minutes into the game Dean could easily have sent Sunderland’s James McClean (who?) off for a mindless tackle on Danny Simpson, which sparked all kinds of kick off’s after Simpson reacted and players from both sides got involved.  There was absolutely no need for McClean to make such a dangerous challenge on Danny Simpson inside our box and in so many other games a tackle like that would have earned a straight red card.  McClean was booked for the foul though.

The Toon had a terrible first half and the worst moment of that came on 24 minutes, when Mike Williamson stupidly gave away a penalty after he was justifiably penalised for pulling on Michael Turner’s (never heard of him either?) shirt.  It was a stupid penalty to give away as Turner was in no danger of doing anything constructive and this moment of idiocy earned Williamson a yellow card and the SMB a penalty.  Petty criminal, Nicklas Bendtner converted the resulting spot kick, although Tim Krul did get close to the well-taken penalty down in his bottom right-hand corner, and the SMB were one goal to the good.  Well done Williamson, you massive daft plank!

Newcastle United 0-1 Sunderland (Bendtner pen. 24)

Bendtner scores a penalty after 24 minutes.

Tim Krul was yet again in sublime form in between the posts for adding further weight to my belief that he will become a better goalkeeper than Peter Schmeichel ever was.  With the SMB leading 1-0 Bendtner could have grabbed a second when his wicked strike was stopped by a fine Krul save.

Tim Krul Will Be Better Than Peter Schmeichel Ever Was Blog

Even though we were considerably poor in the first half, we did create a few chances in the first half.  Fabricio Coloccini forced a good save from Simon Mignolet after winning a back post header and Demba Ba struck the cross-bar after Ryan Taylor had swung in a corner that he had earned when his shot had been deflected.

Half Time – Newcastle United 0-1 Sunderland

We went into half time 1-0 down after a woeful first half performance and a ridiculous penalty to concede.  At half time I usually go see My Old Man, who sits further up from me in the Leazes End.  We discussed the first half and I said that I would bring Shola and Hatem Ben Arfa on.  The game definitely needed changing.  I have absolute faith in the Mackem Slayer and knew that if he was brought on as a substitute that he would score!

I even said it to Me Fatha!

The second half started with Ben Arfa replacing Davide Santon in a shrewd tactical move by Alan Pardew.  Ben Arfa was a game changer as he put the Mackems on the back foot for the entirety of the second half.

After 58 minutes Tim Krul showed his class yet again as he made an incredible double save, with either leg, to stop the SMB doubling their lead, first preventing Sebastian Larsson and James McClean’s follow up effort.

That was swiftly followed by pathetic incident which saw Stephane Sessegnon sent off for lashing out at Tiote, who reacted slowly before throwing himself onto the floor and rolling about as if he’d been hit by a sniper.  Sessegnon had to be dismissed but Cheick Tiote’s reaction was embarrassing!

"Go on you Sad Mackem Bastard, fuck off!"

It was written in the stars though and on 72 minutes Shola replaced Papiss Cisse.  We could still win this and the Mackem Slayer was destined to strike again!

A couple of minutes later Mignolet was forced to pull off a quality save from Hatem Ben Arfa as his amazing mazey run left McClean and Turner scratching their empty Mackem heads before unleashing his shot.

Before we were eventually award our 82^nd minute penalty, we had two penalty shouts ignored after a hand-ball appeal and an incident with Ben Arfa being brought down by McClean, who was lucky to still be on the pitch.  Shola got into the Mackem’s box and skinned Larsson before McClean brought the mighty Mackem Slayer to the ground as he was being beaten and starting to have a shambolic afternoon.  We were going wild!  Surely this was to be the moment Shola got his goal.  He never misses penalties and almost always scores past Sunderland!

But who steps up?  Demba fukkin Ba!  I was raging and screaming!  It had to be Shola’s!  He was destined to score, for fuck’s sake!  Not Demba Ba, Shola the Mackem Slayer!

I had a sickening feeling, I knew what was about to happen!  Demba Ba’s penalty was weak and Mignolet had no trouble in palming it out for a corner.  We stood staring in disbelief.  How could that happen?  TV footage shows clearly though that Mignolet was well off his line and technically the penalty should have had to be re-taken.  My main gripe wasn’t with that though, it was Shola’s destiny, and he had even made the penalty and had been doing to Sunderland’s defence the sort of things that Titus Bramble does to women!

I was still certain that Shola would have his moment.  He came agonisingly close to scoring with a shot that was deflected for a corner.

Then in injury time it inevitably happened!  Williamson flicked on a Yohan Cabaye cross and Shola caught Wayne Bridge sleeping at left-back and crept in to slip it past Mignolet!  Boom!  1-1 and the Geordie crowd were in raptures!

Same Old Shola, Always Scoring!

I was jumping up and down shouting that I’d fukkin told everyone and I was hugging the dudes next to me and we danced in jubilation.  We’d stuck it to these Sad Mackem Bastards!  Just like I had been adamant he would, Shola scored his seventh goal against the team he’s scored the most goals against during his Toon career!  No three points for the SMB and no bragging rights, just another season living in our shadow!

Newcastle United (Ameobi 91) 1-1 Sunderland

The full-time whistle went, but that wasn’t the end of it all.  Being a complete fukkin numpty, Lee Cattermole managed to get himself sent off after the game because he was insulting Mike Dean.  What an absolute dick-head!

"You too, fuck off!"

I’ve previously expressed my disliking of Lee Cattermole and Nicklas Bendtner in my blog but I’d like to add Frazier Campbell to list of Mackem bastards that I particularly dislike.  When Bendtner scored his penalty, substitute Campbell was running up and down the touch-line fists pumping and goading the crowd.  Games like this can become very hostile and players should be punished by the FA for behaviour like that.  Even the SMB coaching staff called him back in.

Aye, that’s right, reel your little Mackem shit-bag in!

Cattermole & Bendtner Blog

After the game Alan Pardew described Shola as “an absolute legend” and I couldn’t agree more!  He’s a local lad who bangs them in for his local club against his local rivals!

Absolute Legend!

TIM KRUL WILL BECOME BETTER THAN PETER SCHMEICHEL EVER WAS

Manchester United 1-1 Newcastle United

After the high of last weekend’s win, I was brought back down to Earth this weekend.  Southampton lost to Bristol City, in what can only be described as a shite result, and Arsenal drew with Fulham, to continue their shite season.  Wor Shitus fared no better though.  He paid the price, yet again, for betting against The Toon!  Although, Man United, Southend, Alloa and Barcelona all let him down.  So, I retain my £277.43 lead.

Current score;

Me = -£112.46

Shitus = -£389.89

The Premier League's Number 1?

The Toon picked up a hard fought point away to Manchester United.  Tim Krul will become the best goalkeeper in the world.  I believe he’ll be even better than Peter Schmeichel was!  I think he’s the best goalkeeper in the Premier League already!  Who’s better than him?  Not Petr Cech.  Not Pepe Reina.  Not Shay Given.  Joe Hart?  I think Krul’s better!

Premier League Legend Peter Schmeichel

Krul was my personal choice for Man of the Match.  He made some world class saves today to keep us in the game.  He’s improving with every game he plays and his confidence in his ability shows.  Danny Simpson was also playing at the top of his game.  Our defence continues to look solid with Colo, Stevie T and Ryan Taylor all playing well too.  Despite Obertan looking keen, he’s still shit!  Would’ve loved him to score but, in truth, he just doesn’t have the ability.  I thought Jonas was unlucky to get sent off and the referee seemed pretty handy with his cards.

The first half was a stalemate and we matched them in every department.  The best chance of the first half fell to Ryan Giggs but he was never gonna get the best of Tim Krul, I mean haway man, it’s Tim fukkin Krul we’re talking aboot! 

In the second half they took the lead with a fluke goal.  That fat tosser Wayne Rooney hit the wall with a free-kick and hit the rebound with his left foot.  Stevie Taylor managed to get something on it, but it only managed to bounce of Hernandez and past Krul.  A proper pin-ball goal!  The lucky bastards! 

We were playing well though and we didn’t deserve to lose to a goal like that.  We had our own stroke of luck when Hatem Ben Arfa burst into the Man United box and went down under a challenge from everybody’s favourite crack-heed, Rio Ferdinand.  Rio’s tackle was a perfect tackle!  The referee had even given the corner but the assistant indicated a penalty… which was nice.  The referee had a bit chit-chat with the fukka and give us the penalty… which was nice.  Then Demba Ba coolly slotted it past that De Gea numpty…  which was nice.  1-1.

It all started to go on the slide for us when that clown Perch was brought on.  Gutierrez got a second yellow card and we spent the rest of the game on the back foot.  We managed to hold on for the remainder of the game and earned a hard fought point that we deserved.

I said before the Man City game that I’d take four points from these three games.  I really fancy us to fuck Chelsea at St. James’ Park next weekend.  We give a good account of ourselves last week and didn’t suffer an embarrassment like Man United did.  Chelsea have been having a poor season and we’re still unbeaten at home!

Haway The Toon!!!

A WEEKEND WASTED IS NEVER A WASTED WEEKEND!

Another weekend draws to a close and it’s time to recap and attempt to piece together what really happened.

DOWNTOWN LESTER BROWN

On Friday, DOWNTOWN LESTER BROWN played another Too Far North gig at The Dog and Parrot.  According to Photo Dave, it was our best performance to date.  Of the four bands that played, we brought the largest crowd and as usual blew everyone away.  Needless to say, I was paggered when I was on stage shaking my noisy things.  We opened with Mallaz Beats The Devil, played a couple of new tracks and finished with Man On The Run.  It was good to see Smack-Knackers at the gig, and as an added bonus he brought V For Vendetta, who’s back from New Zealand.  Also, good old reliable Sam Nelson kept up his record of attending everyone of our gigs so far… and we didn’t even play his favourite track (at the request of Ben and Richard, giving the fans what they want!), although I did give him a shout out as a bit of recognition because I know how to keep people happy.

High Definition Jazz Kitten

I obviously made an impression too.  After we finished our set, some kid who had come to see one of the other bands came up and asked for his photo taken with me.  He reckoned he’d witnessed history in the making and compared it to when The Sex Pistols played in front of 42 people.  It was a pretty fukkin good performance!

In other DLB related business, I finally managed to upload the two videos from our Riverside gig from October 11th.  Fukkin Youtube’s shite though!  It took me four fukkin attempts to upload Dufresne’s Escape!  It takes six fukkin hours to upload a bastard video, only to say the cunt didn’t work!  Sort it out you gang of twats!  I’m gonna have to go through the same clart this week with the videos from Friday’s gig as well.

The Love & Other Diseases EP is just about complete and hopefully we’ll be releasing that real soon.  Also, the Empty Heed single is now available to download for just 50c on CD Baby.  The next gig we’ve got lined up is my gig at The Telegraph.  I’ve also got The Mojags already confirmed for that one, give them a listen.  They really impressed us when we played with them at The Riverside.

FOOTBALL STUFF

I’ll start with the betting challenge with Wor Shitus…

For the God knows how many consecutive-th week in a row, we both had a total fukkin wash-out.  That leaves him on -£239.89 and me on -£274.96.  If you want a useful tip, here’s one… don’t fukkin listen to either of us!

Obviously, with having a season ticket for The Toon, I was at the Everton game on Saturday and I’ve gotta tell you, these early kick-offs take the piss!  I was still smashed from Friday’s gig when I got to the match.  It’s a good job the first half was entertaining as fuck or I’d have struggled to stay awake!  Ryan Taylor’s goal was absolutely fukkin awesome!  Goal of the Month already, nothing can match that.  Especially when you consider he’s a Liverpool fan too.  I also wish to say Tim Krul will become the best goalkeeper in the world!  I’ve been saying that for a few years now and grow more and more confident with each game I see him play.  However, I really don’t rate Danny Guthrie, the useless cunt, or Danny Simpson, the weakest link in our defense.  He’s scared to make a fukkin tackle and backs off far too much, allowing wingers to get into the box.  He was guilty of that in the first half, in the build up to Louis Saha hitting the post.  Get fukkin Santon in before Simpson really drops a bollock!  We were shite in the second half and just allowed them to come at us.  We got lucky that Everton have been shite this season or we could have been punished for that.  Three points is still three points though and the mighty Magpies march on!

Ryan Taylor... Over them all...

Watched Match Of The Day tonight too.  Ali Al Habsi was unbelievable for Wigan today, it’s a shame they got fucked off Wolves.  He needs to find a better team to play for, because he really did not deserve to concede three goals after that performance.  Goal of the Month was a disappointment too.  It should blatantly have been Gutierrez’s goal against Wolves, he skinned three fukkin players before he slotted it past the oncoming goalkeeper and last defender!  That presenter’s an irritating fukkin prick an all!
