    I remember finding it strange to see Romania vs someone else I cant remember playing on the tele at SJP. Just looked wierd.

What a great night I had that evening in Bar Oz in Whitley. Shame we were otherwise shite in that tourney.

    My first ever REAL football memory is when I was about 8, and I was sitting in front of the telly in floods of tears as we lost on pens in Italia 90.

    No plans for final day Stay in bed, drift away It could have been all Songs in the street It was nearly complete It was nearly so sweet.....................
  9. Yeah, that's the danger. It's bad enough coming from Byker to watch some of it. Looking forward to seeing you in the Trent House. If I were you I would try and make it over for the Sunderland at home game next season. As soon as the fixture lists come out next month, get on the net cause I am sure there will be cheap flights to be had. I know it is not ideal as you live in the Chicago area IIRC, but a while back I noticed Zoom Airways offering flights from Toronto to Glasgow for about £250 or $500 return. Thats probably just about the best deal you would get I think.

    I can still remember I was on the cross channel ferry back to Dover huddled round a grainy TV with loads of other people watching the Swiss game. I also remember that I fell asleep during the first half of both the Scotland and Spain games! Still gutted by that Gazza miss against Germany. Just a great, great tourney.
  11. Man, I don't think I should. You look at where the club was then, and where it's been since. You're asking me to experience all that for the first time over the course of a few days. That thumbs up smiley should have a knife in it. I think you should get them, also the Newcastle history dvd to see the TRUE glory days of NUFC........Ah the 1950's.........

    Arda Turan?

    That is hilarious.
  13. It is pretty usefull now though. Doing what? The 02 Arena isnt it? Aye, £1bn to build it and £600m to renovate it so it can do some music gigs. Fuking special. PS: I think someone else owns it now. And some big sporting events too. Fact is, they have salvaged the project and gave London what it lacked for years..a 20,000+ seater arena which is one of the biggest in the world. A waste of near £2bn. Its not rescued, its a monumental failure, you could have build that for £50m, i mean Cardiff cost what £90m? All you have to do is stick a roof on and make it smaller. Anyone know how much the Newcastle Arena cost? Earth won't exist by the time the dome has paid itself off. I agree with what you are saying but with regards to the Newcastle Arena, that is one cheap and nasty hell hole, which is falling apart, seats about 8,000 and is about to be torn down after about what 15 years?? I just hope that IF and when we get a replacement it will be of a good design and of high quality. Yet still better build quality than the Stadium of s**** or the Riverside. Gets higher attendances as well. That is highly debatable , it is just about THE worst Arena of its kind in the UK.

  15. It should have been built in Haltwhistle, the centre of Britain. You are forgetting one small fact..........it is England's national stadium not Britain's.
  16. How is Manchester central for the whole of England? Correct, Birmingham would be the perfect location apart from the fact it is a proper nightmare to get in and out of. The site they wanted to build it on was at the NEC. Right next to the M42, a few miles from the M6, and about five miles from the M40. Access would have been a piece of piss. Well, relatively speaking. Nah mate, as a Geordie who has driven to Brum on numerous occasions following the toon I can say it is an absolute hellish place to get out of.

  21. While it is one of the best in the world currently, I think it could have been a million times better than it is and in 40-50 years will look well out of date and probably be knocked down again.
  22. Walking up the drab, grey, cheap and shitty concrete staircases to the gods is an absoloute nightmare. For the money it cost and the more than half a decade we had to wait for it I want the stairs f***ing carpet finished for fucks sake! I was on the lower tier so didn't have to worry about stairs. One other thing I did notice though is how dry the place is in terms of licensed premises. Don't think I saw a noticeable drunk when I was there. Oh, and the white horses intimidated the f*** out of me, I think the riding police thought it was Bolton 1924 or whatever all over again. First time I was there I was in the upper tier and there aint any stairs to negotiate! The escalators took everyone up. Well, you must have been in some kind of posh bit cause i was in the upper tier, opposite side to the corporate bit and it was flights of stairs after flights of stairs.
  23. I was just looking through all of the different mls teams strips and man does someone need to start playing in black and white stripes. It would give me a team to follow!
