Newcastle
What are you going to do next Saturday? If you like good football, you’ve got an appointment at 15.00 hrs in the Emirates Stadium (London). The team in Europe that is playing football better (Arsenal) against a team that has recently changed his manager, and from now on, will try to play more entertaining football (and have better results, that would not be very difficult…). In conclusion, Arsenal against Newcastle, a great match!
Arsenal come from defeating Fulham 0-3, in Craven Cottage, one of the London derbies. Especially superb was the striker Emmanuel Adebayor, that was considered by Jimmy Bullard (a Fulham player) as “a monster”. He scored a fantastic goal after raising above all Fulham defenders’ head. His extremely easyness for jumping really high has an explanation, as the Arsenal’s forward said, “When I was young, I used to suspend a ball from the ceiling in my mum’s house (in Togo), and see if I could jump high enough to head it, I would shorten the string attached to the ball and try to leap even higher”. A part from being very tall (190 cm), he stays in the air (as high as possible) in a wondreful way, heading balls that much players would not reach. Bullard also said about Arsenal: “They are awesome to watch and awesome to play against… There isn’t really a weak point in their game”.
Newcastle, that has changed the manager recently, has substituted Sam Allardyce, after a very bad first leg of Premier league, for Kevin Keegan (”King Kev”), who played in Newcastle some years ago and leaving a great impression in St. James’ Park. This substitution, a part form giving fresh air in the club, would give, in theory, a better position in the league (improving the way of playing, making it more entertaining). A possibility that encourage Newcastle fans is the incorporation of Alan Shearer, a symbol for the “magpies” (Newcastle fans), as an important member of the staff. The last man-of-the-match (against Bolton) was the goalkeeper: Shay Given, that made a perfect match. His actuation gives hope to a team, that is really needed of hope!
