And the season before that we got a point at Old Trafford first game

Are we gonna sing "CHHAAAAMMPIIOWWNNNAAAYYS, CHHAAAAMMPIIOWWNNNAAAYYS OHWAY OHWAY OWAY", "That's why we're champions" after we score in the final games etc or is that considered beneath us?

And who do you think it'll be? Fancy a glamour tie, mix it with the big boys straight away, heaven or hell? Some jaded strugglers like West Ham or the play-off winners in the hope of getting some early points under our belt? The mackems? I'd quite like Spurs at home, no matter how shit we are we always seem to beat them and they seem to have a psychological thing about us being their bogey team. Plus they have that old problem of playing blinders against top teams and then looking unmotivated against lower teams who then nick a result because they're more up for it. If we got a result against them in their current high-flying form it'd be a great confidence boost, if we don't, well, we weren't expected to anyway - better than losing to Bolton or Wigan on the first day. Reckon it'll probably be West Brom, just to keep us waiting that little bit longer to feel like we're back up proper. That or Chelsea, they always seem to be our first/last/cup team.

They'll be velcro until we stay up a season.

Or through a cataract.

Well he did just say B&Wh, would could also stand for blue and white . Maybe we'll have three B&W promotions and a B title winner, unless the Rs get their Rs in gear.

Norwich promoted today as it stands.

On the other hand, quite funny if it's them who give us the trophy. Would have been nicer if they'd done that for us against Man U like

Wasn't there some tabloid stuff about a premier player being dangled over a cliff by his ankles for not payign his protection money a few months back s well?

Think he'd get away with that though, a lot of Celtic fans have Liverpool as their second team and vice-versa.

Presume the idea behind sponsor boxes is the same as blank spaces for numbers, executive types terrified that people on telly won't be able to see the sponsor against stripes.

When? Can you find the article? Can't find him making a definite prediction like that in the turmoil pre-season and all of his predictions shortly after the season started still seem pretty positive, with the proviso that you can't rule out further stupidity from Ashley or a sudden sale of players.

Up yours, the other post was made when it looked like Colo, Enrique and Jonas could all be leaving. And presumably Kamara and Caulkin couldn't have thought the squad was going to be further weakened when they were downplaying our chances of the Championship? For what it's worth I can't remember those three being seen as imminent departures all at the same time.

Don't think anyone on here, including you, expected us to bounce back so emphatically just before the start of the season. Perhaps not, but I voted that we'd finish 1st tbh. Your predictions 3 days before the season started say Boro and Reading would finish in the automatic promotion spots, that our top scorer would only get 6 goals and you seem to imply you expect us to be in League Two within two years. Doesn't sound particularly optimistic to me http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,63682.msg1919989.html#msg1919989

Ah yeah - knew we needed 4 points to clinch it, thought our goal difference was so commanding that I didn't consider that. Guess we could take a 10-0 hammering in our loss to Plymouth or something and do it that way

Think if West Brom win all theirs they'd beat us by a point.

The front view looks like a nightmarishly mis-shapen nun with her face blacked out and enormous saggy tits, was that a look you were aiming for?

Is that specially tailored for Beefy and Kevin Nolan?

I'd think that pressure would vanish if we didn't lose to Ipswich though, what with it being our last home game of the season.

Off the top of my head, to be undefeated at home and not win the title we'd either have to only draw against Ipswich and then only get an average of one point or less from each of our remaining three away fixtures, or beat Ipswich and then lose to Plymouth, QPR and Reading (With West Brom winning every game) Even if you'd prefer the unbeaten home record to a title, both scenarios where that's the only one of the two we end up with result in Newcastle having a fucking appaling end to the season, so I can't see why anyone would choose it.

Regularly make up bullshit about us wrecking stuff as well, some guy started a thread when we got promoted saying that the metros were off and he'd heard it was because we were rioting, when it was actually because some old fella fell under a metro.

Rooney

Will it give our players speed of the pumah?
