I know loads of people at work who although they claim to support Newcastle they really dont have a clue. They dont go to matches, dont even bother to go to the pub to watch them as most matches are on one channel or another, ill ask them if they saw the score lat night and they didnt even know we were playing half the time yet I find myself talking to them and getting in an argument about Newcastle, players and just the game in general and it really pisses me off. Like last week I was talking to this bloke about players who played 5 years ago but arent around now, then he claimed most of them couldnt make it today as the game is so much faster and better now than it was in 2002. Thats complete and utter bullshit and told him so but he dismissed what I was saying and that had me raging inside like how the f*** does he know? Ive went home and away for years while he watches the odd game usually the big four on the telly. :tickedoff:

Its location makes it the best club ground in the UK for me I still wish though it was a little bit bigger around 60,000, I think its the capacity that stops it being a true world great.

Have to say I dont like the fact they have the Shearer 1 finger salute it should be the more traditional, full out-streched hand with the little finger out slightly further ie: http://www.welshartsarchive.org.uk/galleries/images/ian_simmons/shearer.jpg

I cant believe Ferdinand is so high on many peoples lists. Woody and Terry are the outstanding two, the rest are much of a muchness.

Probably another decade of mid table mediocrity stumbling from one calamity to the next. Sad, but probably true.

The song you wrote will never catch on sadly but that was a cracking video on youtube! cheers !

What must be kept in mind is that Queensland "coach" Frank Farina is a media whore, and also that while utterly incompetent, the former national team mentor has strong ties with his former charges... Sounds to me that far from choosing to come home to Australia Moore is deemed surplus to requirements and will be allowed to leave on a free. And to think they gave Bumble a new contract :roll: I cant believe that his choice would be to go back home to play. As someone once said, "you're a long time retired" and he'd regret it for the rest of his life imo if he chose to go home next season rather than stay on for another season in the big time however shite we may be next season. Im not his greatest fan but he is definatly one of our best centre halfs if not THE best.

I would probably reckon your better off planning your holiday to be in Newcastle on either Sat the 10th Feb Liverpool H or Sat 3rd of March Middlesborough H. If you plan ahead tickets wont be too hard to come by and these games will give you an all round better experience of Newcastle the club and the city.

It'll be possibly one of the easiest things you will ever do in your life mate, you will probably have the choice of about 30,000 different seats, sadly.

Slightly off topic, been to Toronto once for a week, f**kin amazing place and would move there in a heartbeat given the chance.

I reckon we will get 3-4 decent seasons from him but must agree that the whole footballing world seems to have forgotten Michael Owen and the fact WE have got him.

I wouldnt be worried about the 93.1% white thing. In the city centre (which I presume is where you'll always be) almost everwhere you look there will be people from every race. For everyone else re the Metro Centre thing, anyone else notice how the media always dismiss the Metro Centre and call Bluewater the biggest shopping centre in Europe??......"no those little northeasterners, how could they ever have the biggest shopping centre in Europe" :roll:

Great song just a shame its not a stayer, after we get knocked out its gone forever.

Im sure he hands Shearer a Lucozade bottle and Shearer just grabs it and completely ignores him trying to look cool for the camera.

Yes that is Ramage.

This thread is a joy to behold!

I remember it like yesterday, I was listening to it on the radio and when we went a goal down so I decided I wouldnt resist my bodies effort to go to sleep thinking we'd get buried. I then wake up just after full time, delighted to find out we'd won but angry to have missed all the excitement! :wullie:

You can bet the corporate seats will be swelled by cockney/manc glory hunters tho, some of them will probably be geordie an aarl. :roll:

Gets sung numerous times at every away game, not so much at home, its at its best when sung just after we score away from home imo full gusto.....................pure class.

Is it just me or do we seem to suffer from an injury crisis year after year, practically every season for us is destroyed by injuries.

Great photo mate thats definately a keeper! Glad you enjoyed it.

Nail on head.

His corners and free kicks are poor but I've thought he's been doing well recently in general.

That's a great idea for you to do.I'll watch you game against Reading and I would really like it to see you guys jumping in the rhythm of the "pippi longstocking jumping song'' like we do in Frankfurt. The fact is that attitudes at stadiums in England and Germany are very different. There are a few reasons why we could never have the whole end jumping like you lot: 1. Behind the goal at Frankfurt is obviously a recognised place for the 'singers' to congregate - We have no such area to do this as the hardcore suppoters are scattered amongst families etc. 2. It is illegal to stand on masse during the match at Premiership games - yes we do it at away from home but at home it simply would not happen.

Anyone else witness this? In the Leazes, grown men fighting over free scarves! Basically a load of the turnstyles ran out of scarves so there was a big scrap on to get them, a massive mob cornered a steward who was clinging on to a box of them like it was his pay packet! people were just diving in for them. Owt for nowt I suppose.
