And to think some people were criticizing him a couple of month ago for not throwing massive money about.

Can't thank him enough for this. Superb.

This is just fucking bullshit. Ok we'll just get up at 7 in the morning to start on the drink instead.

My dad yesterday afternoon offering his opinions in front of my mates while we were watching soccer saturday: "Mind Chelsea will go down since that Mourinho has left" "teams always do crap when a new manager takes over" CHEERS DAD

I think right wing is the least of our problems in midfield at the minute (when Milner actually plays on the right rather than Smith). The lack of creativity coming through the middle is worrying.

Its great the way Taylor, Milner and N'Zogbia are now as good as they are gonna get so its time to sell them at the grand old age of 21 according to some people.

Some people will be loving this just so they can have a go at him. I don't see how he's big headed. Milner and Zoggy certainly don't deserve to be paid anymore than him. N'Zogbia especially. I am one of N'Zogbia's biggest fans but he's only just getting back on track so i don't see what he's done to deserve a better contract than Taylor.

Seen us win at my first away match against Leeds 4-3 in 01/02. Since then the only away match we've won that i've been to is Blackburn last season. Been to countless defeats.

Rugby?

AH DIVENT CARE ABOOT ENGLAND ANYMORE SINCE SHEERA RETIRED, AL ALWIS LOVE THE TOON THO, WI GANNA WIN THE LIKE LEYK

Its an awful song tbh.

Pictures of legends scattered around the concourses around the ground so ex heroes are on of the first things you see when you get in the ground.

Micah Richards?

Souness was awful and i hate the bastard, but the man who handed out the contracts at SJP was Shepherd and he is responsible for the length of Babayaro's contract and his weekly wage.

Absolutely pointless thread. Most fans support their club over their country. Or was this thread designed so it can be filled with people saying "couldn't give a shit about England, would rather see Newcastle win the masters than England win the world cup"?

Bit of both i think. If the English players were good enough then surely they would be pushing for a first team place anyway, regardless of the foreigners. There has been a ridiculous amount of money wasted on average foreigners coming over here (we are more guilty that most for this). I seen that yesterday the foreigners were getting blamed for us for not having enough quality English strikers. Well if the young English strikers coming through were so good then they would be playing regularly in the Premiership now and scoring goals. Its not really that theres too many foreigners, its we're not producing the youngsters.

Its hard for people with mortgages, bills, children, shopping etc to come up with the full amount too. I didn't say it wasn't. But you have said you would want specific deals and discounts for students when in reality most people have the same financial difficulties etc when it comes to purchasing a season ticket so I fail to see why students should get preferential treatment. Well i'd be more than happy to pay full price but like i said coming up with nearly £500 is hard. I know its like that for everyone. How much are the installments you have to pay monthly for the 08/09 season ticket? If the club made a sensible system where EVERYONE could pay money weekly/monthly out if their bank then it would benefit every one of us, be it a set fee a month or an amount you could chose to pay weekly for the year until you had paid it off. £500 a season is great by me as long as the club helped by putting in a system what makes it easier.

Why not? I managed to. Maybe if some spent less time and money on the piss they could still afford to buy their season ticket, thats what I done. £30 a week though? Student loans are options obviously plus part time jobs. You managed but its a struggle for some people. You're always gonna have people who spend their £30 a week plus they'll get massive loans and spend nearly all of it on drink. I think you would find that theres plenty of proper Newcastle fans who are students and don't waste go on the piss every night and would much rather be at the match. I don't think its fair to say the reason students can't afford season tickets is because they spend all of their money on the piss though. Certainly some, but i bet the ones who are like that wouldn't even be interested in getting a season ticket because their priority lies with getting pissed in their spare time. I would like a bit of help and i'm sure a lot of others would. It was just the same when i left school and had to come up with adult money straightaway. As it stands i'm going to have to get a loan next year and buy a season ticket out of that. If there was a bit of middle ground though it would be a big help. I'm not saying kids prices. Students don't earn as much as people in full time jobs, and i think there should be prices to reflect that. so you were MADE to become a student? Will you offer to pay more than a standard adult price if your studies result in a job where you get paid more than the average wage? I doubt it. You want to watch the match, you have to buy a ticket. If you save over a year, its not much more than a tenner a week. Obviously it was my choice. I can see it from both sides of the argument. Its frustrating for me at the minute because i don't know my timetable or anything until Thursday so i couldn't even get a part time job even if i wanted to yet. I might be wrong suggesting this because i am very frustrated after having a season ticket for so long. I don't know, maybe a different option for students to pay where they could pay it off as you said like a tenner weekly out of the bank? Its just hard to come up with the full money at once, but i would have been able to renew mine again this season if there was a system where they took a tenner out of the bank each week.

He's one of the very last bits of Souness's reign which need removed as quick as possible.

Aye Souness is a class A cunt but he done nowt wrong with N'Zogbia. It was his "you'll win nothing with eleven James Milners" that was bad.

Very happy.

Like i said, it was aimed towards loyal fans, not any old person on the dole. If someone has had a season ticket for years then they lose their job all of a sudden then it would be nice to give them a bit of help. I did say it would need to be worked on so it couldn't be abused though. One thing which would stop the system being abused would be that you couldn't buy your new season ticket for the unemployed price, even if you were unemployed. It could only be used for a loyal season ticket holder who has recently lost their job and is out of work and want to renew. As i said even if it could only be used once per season ticket holder, so you couldn't get the unemployed price the year after. It was simply an idea to benefit a loyal fan who genuinely wants a job. It couldn't really be abused that way. Anyway that was not such an important point, it was the student one what was the main point. Full time students should not have to pay adult prices.

Is there a set time when you plan to put these to Mort or not? I was actually considering writing a letter to Mort about the student/unemployed prices (don't know if it would have actually reached him if i bothered) but this is a good opportunity to get it to him.
