Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea Premier League December 3rd 2011
Chelsea eased a little bit more of the pressure on their wiry manager Andre Villas-Boas after
putting three past the Magpies at St James' Park. A revitalised Didier Drogba but the visitors
ahead on 38 minutes, heading home from a Juan Mata cross.
Demba Ba looked one terrific striker in the game at Norwich yesterday. Demba Ba - two great
goals yesterday The Senegal striker worked well with Shola Ameobi up front, and the Magpies
looked good going forward, and that was good because we were very poor in defense yesterday,
and conceded four poor goals.
Sammy Ameobi will in all likelihood start in place of the suspended Jonas Gutierrez on the
left wing against Chelsea this afternoon. Sammy Ameobi 6'3″ promising Newcastle winger It's
obvious from what Sammy says that he's been brought up in a good family, and it also seems his
older brother Shola has had a massive influence on him.
A bit of surprise in the Newcastle side today to face Chelsea, as Peter Lovenkrands has been
drafted in to replace the suspended Jonas Gutierrez, and Sammy Ameobi is on the bench. And that's
the only enforced change from the team that started against Manchester United last Saturday, and
miraculously came away with a well earned point.
Shola Ameobi came on for Ben Arfa in the second half yesterday and almost scored with a terrific
shot which thundered off the post with Petr Cech beaten. Shola Ameobi -- all hands to the pump In
fact Newcastle hit the woodwork three times yesterday, and just like the game at the Etihad Stadium
two [.
Shola Ameobi, one of Newcastle's most experienced players, has come out and said something
that is needed this week. Shola Ameobi - lads will still fight Shola, who is a big and positive
influence in the dressing room according to Alan Pardew, has come out today and said the
lads will still be fighting like crazy after only getting a single point out of our last
three games.
The football world is still trying, and failing, to come to terms with the loss of a legend.
The shocking news on the sudden death of Wales manager Gary Speed brought the country to a
stand-still. Since the announcement there has been an endless amount of tributes for the 42 year
old husband and father, showing just how much he meant to not only football, but the UK itself.
Shola Ameobi has been interviews on the Newcastle web-site and he offers no excuses for the
defeat at Norwich on Saturday. Shola Ameobi - no excuses It seems that Shola is back in form and
looked good alongside Demba Ba on Saturday, and of course the Senegal striker is red hot
at the moment, and scored two wonderful opportunist goals to keep Newcastle in the game.
We've got a hearty helping of news you can use (plus a bonus blind item from the weekend) to get
your Mondays off to an highly unproductive start.
Glad we could be of assistance.

Saturday
- Harvey Nichols makes house calls we learned.
Shola Ameobi believes that the Newcastle players will take inspiration from the
tribute to be paid to Gary Speed before Saturday's game against Swansea City. Gary Speed
tribute before the game on Saturday They will also take inspiration from the memory of a
former great player for Newcastle United, who was much loved in the game.
I read in the papers today that Newcastle must stop their slide down the table against
Swansea on Saturday, because they have dropped down the table over the last four game,
and are now in 7th place. Sammy Ameobi could he get a start on Saturday? If we were told we'd be
reading a kind of commentary in December about the lads back in August we would not have
believed it, and just to put it in all perspective, Newcastle [.
