    St James' Park

    I was once told that we have it as St James' because The FA said there could not be two grounds with the same name. Could be bollocks.
  4. Can you really not bring on a keeper for an outfield player? Even in extreme shortages? Seems harsh. Obviously they wouldn't both be able to use their hands like. Not sure, but didn't Man City put David James upfront and bring another keeper on a few years ago?
  5. He is good friends with Tony Parker of San Antonio Spurs.
  6. It's Drenthe. Wiki seems pretty certain he's going to Villa after the tournament. Not anymore.

    Bung Clubs are Named

    Quest Report - NUFC Statement Following the publishing of the findings of the Quest Report, Newcastle United has issued the following statement: Newcastle United has noted the contents of the final Quest Report compiled by Lord Stevens and his team for the Premier League. The report makes clear that Newcastle United officials have done nothing wrong and have at all times offered their full cooperation, willingly providing full access to all documentation and information requested by the Inquiry team. The club firmly supports the Inquiry and calls on those agents referred to in the report to assist the Inquiry in resolving their outstanding queries as soon as possible. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1053548,00.html
  8. Aye Eh? Managed Notts County.
  9. and yet we still finished above you. Again. How many times have you finished above us in the last 15 years? 3? twice in the last three seasons. Your best player just turned you down for your so called rivals(Sunderland are our rivals). You play in front of 10,000 empty red seats everyweek. How many times have you qualified for Europe via the league? Infact how many times have you even been in Europe? Holidays to Spain don't count. How many times have you been in the CL? How many league titles have you won? How many FA Cups have you won? I could go on and on.. You will not finish above us this coming season.

  11. Does he just make all of this up? The tone of what he says is amusing. He just posts other peoples info and claims it to be his own. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=40526.msg841449#msg841449
  12. Greg posted something in another thread, and though it doesn't name us specifically, it would definitely apply for us due to geography. link? http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=41304.msg874406#msg874406
  13. Slightly OT but Ledley King is crocked again.
  14. Where is this reported? Allardyce on SSN.
  15. Someting to read before the fixtures come out tomorrow if anyone is interested, it's a few weeks old mind. The 2006/07 football season may have just come to an end with three exciting play-off finals - but already the fixtures for the 2007/08 campaign are being compiled. The process of building a season's fixture list is a complicated one, with fans eagerly waiting for their release on June 14th. Football League fixture secretary David Cookson says: "I know that an awful lot of people wait for the day when the fixtures are released. "Most of the hard work gets done during late May and June, right after the play-offs, but really it's an all-year thing." The League begin by contacting FIFA and UEFA for their worldwide match calendar, which includes competitive and friendly international games. After that the Champions League, UEFA Cup and Intertoto Cup dates are pumped into the computer. Then the League can concentrate on its own games, working backwards from the May Bank Holiday for the play-offs. All other Saturday and Bank Holiday dates are then processed, before finally midweek dates are scheduled. Cookson adds: "You can't have two neighbours (such as Bristol City and Bristol Rovers) playing at home on the same day, regardless of which divisions they are in." That's an added complication. Worse follows when the League receives details of annual events such as Reading's V Festival, Shrewsbury's Flower Show, Brighton's Gay Pride and even Bristol's Ashton Court Balloon Fiesta. These events use valuable police sources in their respective local areas and also cause traffic problems, so this has an impact on when home games can be scheduled. For example, City are almost certain to be away on the opening day of the new Football League season as the Balloon Fiesta will be held in Ashton on the same day. Cookson continued: "There are so many requests from clubs. We always try to accommodate any requests from the Police or clubs, but you can't please everybody. "The requests are increasing each season and the demands are harder than ever to meet." Fans often complain about having to travel long distances on Boxing Day or midweeks. But it's not always the fixture computer's fault. "Derby games at Christmas are very much a thing of the past," Cookson admitted. "Often the local Police forces don't want them and the clubs don't want them either. "While clubs don't want to travel too far, they also don't want to play their neighbours because at Christmas you're always going to get a good crowd, so why have your best fixture on the best day? "More and more clubs are sending us a list of 13 or 14 clubs they don't want to play at Christmas, which makes our life almost impossible." The same applies for Bank Holidays where Police forces charge double time. A high profile opponent on a Bank Holiday can send the club's bill through the roof. Atos Origin are the company that supplies the fixture computer software, while Glenn Thompson is the man who devised the home and away match sequence. A draft fixture list is produced before release day, which is ratified by The Football League, Premier League, six clubs and - on behalf of supporters everywhere - a representative from the Football Supporters Federation. However, with 92 clubs and several millions supporters waiting for the fixtures - you're never going to please everybody. "It works as well as it possibly can, bearing in mind all the external pressures," Cookson concluded. "You'll always miss something but I think we do a pretty good job of it, all things considered."

  17. When Shearer scored that sreamer V Spurs at Old Trafford. 'It's Alan Shearer.. That's the way to finish it, ooooaaaaaaaaaa that's how he dreamt it last night! Alan Shearer takes Newcastle United back to Wembley! We'll be lucky if they are able to kick off again, the celebrations have started, fantastic hit from Alan Shearer.'
  18. Do you mean when Roeder fist arrived at the club as a player or when he returned to work with the Academy? If you mean as a player then the club is a totaly different entity to what it was when Roeder was a player so to compare problems the club may have had would be wrong. If you mean when he took the job in the Academy, well Souness was already our manager and had already signed the likes of Boumsong and Faye.
  19. We haven't signed Viduka yet and no saying Owen or Martins is staying. On .com it's says Junventus bid for Martins. Err. nufc.com says Juventus are unlikely to bid for Martins now Ranieri is in charge.
