3,000 as per Premier League requirements.

Is part of the flag thing not about it being a good visual display? Nobody will see it if they're in the upper tier of the Gallowgate.

That really isn't true about cricket tbh.

Is he walking here from Spain?

His funeral has taken place in Abidjan, he was afforded a military state funeral. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40314352

No idea about online, I know you can't set up the DD online and you have to print a form out and send it in the post.

Fill in the form there and then in the box office. Go in and tell them you want to buy an ST. Choose seats. Complete paperwork (DD mandate form) Go and have a pint in The Strawberry

If you pay by direct debit you won't have to pay anything tomorrow, just complete the direct debit mandate forms. If you go to the box office in person you will be able to discuss and select your seats with the staff at the box office serving you. No idea if there will be a queue.

Would like to see the Sultan of Brunei doing a bit of Let's get ready to rumble.

Just Dave being Dave.

He uses St. James' Park as a corporate venue a lot for Sports Direct stuff in the off season.

It really is a terrible name.

Set Di Canio on him.

What a stupid idea: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40311889?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_match_of_the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport

It's been quite a badly managed situation. As things stand we have 5 first team squad 'keepers reporting for pre-season in a few weeks yet none of them are good enough (yet (Woodman)).

Elliot makes plenty of mistakes as well, though not as comical as Darlow. Elliot seems to handle the pressure in a much better way. Neither are good enough but Elliot will be happy to stick around the club and not play, Darlow will want to play.

I don't think he rates any of them. I think he is happy with Elliot being at the club, there's nothing to suggest Rafa thinks he's our best 'keeper. Elliot he thinks is useful because he is relatively stable, happy to be part of the squad and not play. A useful back up 'keeper as he's happy to just be here. Elliot himself would tell you that Darlow is better than him.

Rafa rates Elliot as someone useful to have in that he is happy to sit on the bench and be second or third choice. Clearly a new 'keeper is a priority for him. He was brought in at the back end of the season as Darlow's head went at Ipswich. Sels was an awful signing, he wasn't just shaky he was downright awful at times. His technique was not suited to English football at all, our goal keeping coach even said this and that he was working with Sels to try and change his technique. Awful signings, but like you say we shouldn't just give him away. Loan with full wages paid and an obligation to buy for a reasonable fee would be a good deal.

I suspect nobody will be willing to buy him.

Agreed, the name is awful.

There are plenty of reasons to reasons to worry. One is that Mike Ashley knows nothing about football and has a track record of very, very bad decisions when it comes to running NUFC.

All I know is he was around at that time, because I met a well known local journalist about something on that day and he mentioned someone (didn't give his name) had been brought in by MA above Lee Charnley. Doesn't mean he brought in on that date.
