After Newcastle United's 5-0 thumping at Tottenham on Saturday, silver supremo Alan Pardew has
reflected on his teams defeat and performance at White Hart Lane. Recent quotes attributed to
Mr.Pardew happen to mention the use of formation in recent weeks, which is something I am
interested in venting my thoughts on.
Newcastle looked hopeless in that first half on Saturday at White Hart Lane. Mike Williamson
challenging Adebayor on Saturday And it showed in the score-line, when Newcastle were trailing
4-0 after just 34 minutes, and we wondered how many goals Newcastle would concede before
they woke up, came to their senses, and started to defend like we know they can.
Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson is aware that Tottenham Hotspur's terrific form
throughout the season indicates their prowess, particularly at White Hart Lane.
Following Monday night's goalless draw at Anfield, third-place Spurs return home and with
manager Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion charges, the North London outfit will be completely
focused on picking up all three points in Saturday's late kick-off.
Mike Williamson spoke to the Newcastle web-site after the game yesterday, and he's just happy to
get another 3 points for the team. Papisto and Demba Ba after Cisse goal Mike played okay
yesterday, but we still have to tighten up at the back, and we're still not playing as well as we
did at [...]
It's games like today's fixture against Aston Villa at home, that Newcastle will have to win
if they are to finish high up in the league table come mid-May. Charles N'Zogbia when he was at
Newcastle If Newcastle do win today and Chelsea lose to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge
in the later game, Newcastle will be in joint 4th place on points, but 5th because of an [.
It seems that 6'4″ center-back Mike Williamson is doing some of the interview duties today. Mike

tomorrow, we'll be on 42 points after 24 games played and that's a fantastic achievement. And
if we can keep that average up we'll collect about [.

We hadn't realised that Mike Williamson is very good friends with Adrian Mariappa of Watford.
Adrian Mariappa not coming to Newcastle We knew that Mike had played with Mariappa at Watford when
he was there in 2009 for nine months, before he moved to Portsmouth, but Mike has said he's
disappointed the move didn't finally materialize, as Watford and Newcastle were unable [.

This is not the first time that Newcastle center-back Mike Williamson has paid tribute to
Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini. Mike Williamson sings the praises of Colo again Ever
since Mike arrived at Newcastle two years ago from Portsmouth for £1M (what a deal!), he has
talked about how much he has learned from the 34 times capped Argentine International.
This match saw the welcome return of Captain Coloccini, and also the absence of Yohan Cabaye a
victim of trial by television and the London FA earlier in the day. Chris Samba was missing from
the Blackburn Rovers line-up following the club's failure to release him during the January
transfer window clearly fit [.
Venue: Ewood Park, Blackburn Date: 1st February 2012 Kick Off: 8.00pm Referee: Phil Dowd. Don't
know about you, but I'm getting sick of the sight of Blackburn Rovers! We've played them three
times already this season and of course they were never off the TV screens during the really
vicious fan protests against their manager [.
Most Newcastle fans were just happy we got through yesterday without losing some of our top
players. Alan Pardew much happier than last year And although Newcastle failed to sign any
defensive cover, which was their number one priority going into the window, fans are fairly
pleased at the January window, since we brought in Papiss Cisse from SC Frieburg for £9M, [.
Newcastle have made another official bid for Watford center-back Adrian Mariappa. Adrian Mariappa
last bid made by Newcastle Alan Pardew has told Sky Sports that Newcastle have now made their
final offer today for the 25 year-old center-back, and if Watford turn that down, which is
likely, Newcastle may not get another center-back through the door [.
Newcastle seemed to be coasting along far too much at Brighton on Saturday. Alan Pardew -
disappointed about Saturday While they did try to get into a higher gear at the beginning of
the second half, it didn't last very long, and then after the rather lucky goal that Brighton
got after the ball bounced off Mike Williamson into the net, that was it.
Venue: Amex Stadium, Brighton Date: 28th January 2012 Kick Off: 5.15pm Referee: Lee Probert Quite
simply, this was a game United should not have lost. Even with the cautious tactics employed by
Pardew we were clearly a class above, dominated 75% of the game and had a penalty appeal for a
blatant handball turned down.
It's only one game we know, but it was another embarrassing defeat for Newcastle at the Amex
Stadium this afternoon. Will Buckley after his shot was deflected into goal by Mike Williamson And
for the second game in a row Newcastle let their fans down, with what was at best a tepid
performance at the Amex Stadium.
Newcastle have made an improved offer for Watford center-back Adrian Mariappa. Adrian Mariappa
third bid in the last one? That's according to the Daily Mirror today, and if true that would be
Newcastle's third offer for the 25 year-old. Newcastle were said to have bid around £2M earlier
in the week after their initial offer of £750K for [.
Some of us are just about getting over the shock of seeing a Newcastle side completely dismantled
in the second half at Fulham on Saturday afternoon. Danny Guthrie after scoring great opening
goal on Saturday After bossing the first half and Danny Guthrie scoring a wonderful goal with his
left foot, everything looked set up to get all 3 points and move into 5th [.
Speaking after Newcastle United's abject second half capitulation to Fulham in yesterday's game at
Craven Cottage, our Silver Supremo, Alan Pardew, looked for reasons for the collapse. "I can't
really explain what happened to our back four," he said continuing: "It wasn't a case of us not
trying second half, we just lacked mental discipline [.
I think it's fair to say that yesterday's win against QPR at Saint James' Park wasn't the prettiest
game to watch, though it was still a very welcome and grinding win. While the Toon faithful may not
like seeing such meagre fare, I feel it's a very satisfying way to collect three very important
points [.
How the Magpies' defense plays tomorrow will be an important factor in how we do against
tomorrow's visitors, QPR. Mike Williamson playing solidly at the back for Magpies It's a bit of a
new formation at the back, from the back four who did so well in the first 11 games of the
season, when we were unbeaten.

Alan Pardew has told his Newcastle players they will have to be ready for QPR tomorrow. Alan
Pardew warning his players about QPR Mark Hughes has just been appointed manager in place of the
sacked Neil Warnock, and while the London club have lost six of their last eight league games and
drew the other two, they will be wanting to stop [.

Newcastle started the season in great form and were unbeaten in their first 11 game of the
season, which equalled a Newcastle record. Davide Santon - has looked good in last few games But
then we went into a bit of a slump with six games without a win, although in three of those
games we were up against both Manchester clubs, away from home, and Chelsea at home.
A tale of absent friends made this cup tie somewhat less of an occasion than it could otherwise
have been. We knew that Demba Ba and Cheick Tiote wouldn't feature in this game, but when Blackburn
lined up without Yakubu and Samba that was a bit of a bonus. Also missing was Paul Clement, [...]
Ever since Mike Williamson arrived on Tyneside, we always thought he was a very good defender, and
he's also a smashing lad and a top class professional. Mike Williamson great game against
Manchester United And with players like Demba Ba, Cheick Tiote and Yohan Cabaye getting most of the
plaudits for Newcastle's terrific win [.
Firstly, let me just start by saying Newcastle thoroughly deserved their win and it was a win by
United more than a loss by Manchester. They were never allowed to settle on the ball, from the off.
Newcastle also took the game to them, showed no fear whatsoever, gave no respect and pressed on
with [..
Newcastle enter the new year of 2012 on a poor run of form. Alan Pardew - did very well last year
in taking Newcastle up to 7th place In the last eight games Newcastle have won only one and drawn
two and lost five, for a total of only 5 points. But during that time we have played four of
the top [.
It was chucking it down with rain as the teams took the field at Anfield, with Newcastle United
wearing their first choice kit of Puma's version of black and white stripes. Three ex-united
players were in the Liverpool team: Bellamy, Enrique, and of course, Andy Carroll. There was also
some bloke called Jordan Henderson, who, [.
Ben Arfa is one of those players Newcastle just love to watch. Ben Arfa scores sublime goal at
Bolton And it seems that Newcastle fans have already taken the French international to their
hearts, especially after his terrible time over the last year with his double leg fracture, and
it's his left leg too the one he uses and [.
Mike Williamson has always been a favorite of ours, ever since he was brought to Newcastle almost
two years ago, for a bargain £1M from Portsmouth. Mike Williamson played very well at Bolton
Because of the terms of the deal Portsmouth made with his former club Watford, when he was signed
on in late August of [.

After Newcastle's poor run of form lately, in which they gained just two points in six games,
it was good to get the 2-0 win at Bolton. Davide Santon - could return on Friday at Liverpool And
it turns out the latest fixtures that took place on Boxing Day and yesterday produced only
three winners - Manchester United won 5-0 at home to Wigan, Newcastle won 2-0 at [.
You just have to watch the interviews Alan Pardew gave after yesterday's great 2-0 win at
Bolton, and you can see how much he seems to love the Newcastle fans and being the Magpies'
manager. Alan Pardew delighted for Newcastle fans yesterday And there was a great shot of him
at the end of the game with Ben Arfa, which we are showing above, as [.
Tim Krul is fast becoming one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. Tim Krul - magnificent
save form Martin Petrov And Tim kept Newcastle in the game yesterday with just a fantastic save
from their danger man, Bulgarian International Martin Petrov. Martin was threatening to score a
few times yesterday, and he got through the [.
Fabricio Coloccini had a very good game yesterday afternoon at the Reebok Stadium. Fabricio
Coloccini - we were very good defensively And the Newcastle captain, for the first time this
season was paired with Mike Williamson in central defense, after they had been the first choice
central defenders all last season.
For the first time since Steven Taylor went off injured late in the game against Chelsea on
December 3rd, Newcastle were able to play two regular center backs. A very happy Alan Pardew at
the final whistle this afternoon And manager Alan Pardew pointed out how important that was today
at Bolton, as Newcastle went to the Reebok Stadium and got all 3 points with a 2-0 win.
Bolton Wnaderers 0 2 Newcastle United (Hatem Ben Arfa (69), Demba Ba (71) Newcastle United were in
their all black strip for this game, and enjoyed the backing of 4,000 travelling Geordies who
pretty much took over the ground at least in terms of noise! As a result of the Toon Army being
