I think anything around mid-table would be considered a success, NE40. FA Cup run would be nice too.

Blyth are having a similar packed pre-season schedule - lost 4-2 to Morpeth, earlier in the week.

Blyth won 6-0 at Wickham last night. Next up - Ashington tomorrow at Woodhorn Lane.

My best mate who is registered disabled has decided to renew, after discussing with his family. I sometimes go as his carer - so will have to see next season if he asks.

Borrowing lines off Pardew Is he speaking from a Keith Bishop script?

I cancelled mine last night and emailed the club to say why (well...filled in the contact form where they say they'll get back to you...zzzz)' Had our tickets since the Ardilles/Keegan season (just after we'd all left Uni and got jobs) but had been going since being kids....been with the same lads ever since so end of an era. Currently I just feel f***ing gutted, tbh. The 'gutted' feeling does pass eventually. But you did the right thing. There are alternatives in local non-league where your support and cash will be gratefully received. And it allows you to rediscover why you love football. My cash and energy is headed to Croft Park, this coming season.

Whats this about Bruce being 11th choice?!

Austin won't come in - too old for Ashley.

Bravo!

A hammering.

Fakeover will be next to be called off, over the next few days.

Normally Wraith is a fud, but this looks really interesting.......

This will drag on until deadline day, when Bruce will then triumphantly sign (according to NUFC!), which will leave no time for any incoming transfers. Guess who wins again?

Not forgetting that he pulled out of meeting Man City's now owners, before they then went and bought that club. NUFC 'being for sale' is nothing more than a lie which he's used time and time again, to defect. And his sycophants in the media and the support fall for it.

Would be typical of Ashley to pull the rug out from under Bruce (who would deserve it!)

No chance this will happen!

Chopra Need to get that shared all over social media.

Bruce has always been known as a shithouse and has has the morals of an alley cat, when it comes to being a manager. He's going to fit right in for Mike Ashley and NUFC. The club deserves to crash and burn in it's present form.

If that's true, there's a god awful lot of cash being filtered in and out of NUFC. A proper investigate reporter could have a field day. Just a pity there are few left, let alone any in the local media.

James - that's mentalist patter.

News will come over over the weekend, that the fakoever is officially off. Ashley will blame BZG for Rafa leaving and causing the turmoil through the summer. Just watch.

I'll be amazed if Ashley shells out £5million compensation - unless of course it comes out of the transfer budget. Bruce is a fool if he takes this on.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Pardew or Wise/Kinnear will be approached. Ashley is running out of options.

I called this months ago! My only surprise is that Allardyce turned him down.
