He only moved there cos stripes are meant to be slimming. On the evidence of the photos I've seen, it hasn't worked.

JESUS! ouch. poor poor tackle. you can tell straight away he didn't mean it from his reacton and the way he went straight to Anichebe, but even so, you can't defend that, oh so dangerous, and Mr Victor is lucky he hasn't gone down Eduardo road.

Bloody hell. You wouldn't want a big lump like Nolan landing two-footed on your shin. Somehow the Japanese commentary seems entirely appropriate.

He's never been a good tackler technically. Always a danger of somert like this happening. He'll find those amazing geordie fans a little harder to win over after that. So that's him and Guthrie sent off for horror tackles this season. Take it Newcastle won't be wanting to take McCann or Davo off us any time soon

Except that Guthrie's wasn't a tackle, more like an assault. Did Abby Faye ever get sent off for them? Hope he did!

Aye, the third angle does it, from behind the Newcastle goal. Correct about Anichebe, very lucky boy. As for Nolan...well, awful challenge, whether he meant it or not. Hope this knocks some sense into him tbh.

Two feet, off the ground, jumping into Anichebe's legs.

What was he thinking?

Well exactly, i mean you can tell he didnt mean to hurt him from the reaction, and his subsequent apology but intent or not it is a horrible tackle, and indefensible. For me it's not so much malicious, as cowardly, he's seen Victor 'brick shithouse' Anichebe bearing down for a 50-50 tackle, bottled it completly and had an idiotic lunge out. Poor poor tackle, and as you say Verbal, that third angle looks terrible.

Nolan had strengths in quite a few areas when he was on song. Good tackling was never really one of them.

Agreed, comes from the Paul Scholes school of tackling.

Funny that, on another forum (not a football one) there was a discussion going about Paul Scholes, and one comment was that for all his ability he was the worst tackler in the league, I had to chime in that Nolan had that title wrapped up. That was on Thursday, how very strange. :shock:

Sent off only to Stoke I believe. :wink: Of the three he would seem the most likely to get sent off. Players cowered just looking at him.

You can see that Nolan was doing that retarded thing where he turned his back to the player he was supposed to be defending. He then decided to lunge in. Terrible.
