Big Geordie

Still early days, yet. Though I wouldn't be overly surprised come May.

10-12000 went over when we plated Inter, back in 2003. No idea as to how many away fans Dortmund will allow - no idea for PSG either. I was one of about 4000 that went to watch us at Juventus in 2002. Not bad for a mid-week away.

I was one of around 4000 that went to Turin when we played Juventus, back in 2002. Went over with Keith Barrett's Toon Travel - canny couple of days.

The shite-show for 2023 continues.

BBC reporting Dean Henderson - Man United to Palace.

How much is Roberts away for? Mackems will be really worried - one fit centre-forward on the books I think?

Good signing for Sheff Wed if it goes through. Wish Hayden well - got nout bad to say about him.

Mackems are gonna be proper foaming if Eales said that.

I wonder if Newcastle will be too cold for Mbappe, when PSG are due here?

Enjoy the ride.

Group of Death, but nothing to fear. None of those three will have wanted to pull Newcastle - make no mistake. Gonna be some belter away days for those who are going.

Was always gonna be a hard draw tonight (such is our luck) At least we are at home though.

Nope - nothing has changed at The Morgue as far as I can see/know. Shameful really.

At end of Calgari v Inter...... https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=306473365294670

Does finishing in 3rd place, still drop into the Europa League?

Players should be able to go out and enjoy themselves - 25 years ago, Shearer and the lads were regularly down the Quay in Julies/Quilted Camel. Problem is the fucking coked up idiots - a lot more of them about today.

Some kernt trying to boot some bugger in the head, as he lies on the deck. I can't make out Lascelles.

Excellent win for Blyth - 2-0 at home to Spennymoor

Aye - fuck of with that shite patter. Worth a ban, IMO.

I would take seeing the scousers coming here fishing as a compliment. Under Ashley - they would never have bothered, because that version of Newcastle wasn't a threat. This one very much is and will be in the years to come. They are worried - make no mistake. We might have lot a battle yesterday, but we are very much going to be in the war.

Blyth at home to Spennymoor today.

I should have added regularly. Rome wasn't built in a day and clearly FFP stops us doing what Man City and Chelsea have done.

As someone said earlier, we just don't have the nouse (yet!) to go toe-to-toe with the 'Top 4/5' as yet. We've come so far inside 2 years - remember where we were.

There will be crackerjacks among our lot who expect us to go and challenge for the PL, this season - that's really unlikely to happen. It's more about targeting a top 8 finish and having a right fucking go at the cups and the CL, IMO. Nothing to lose on the latter.
