I don't think he'll play for us ever again now. Even if he was fit and Enrique was out i think he'd rather stick the Zog at left back and put Milner, Martins or Duff on the left depending on the formation. He's finished.

I would like to see a different pricing scheme. I know it has been changed this season where the prices have been put into different catogarys depending on the opposition. The club need to think about the younger fans more though. I've already experienced this once, and its became a problem for me again this summer. For years now the club has had 3 different catogarys for season tickets (Juvenile, Adult, Senior Citizen). What they have never considered though is how a young 16 year old who has just left school should suddenly be classed as adults. I remember when i was at school my mam used to buy my season ticket for me. I think the price was somewhere around the £220-£250 range. As soon as i left school though the price rocketed up to over £400. How can they justify classing a school leaver as an adult? Its almost impossible to get a job as soon as you leave school and many go on to further education. There needs to be a bit of middle ground here. I was lucky my mam helped me once i left school, but for many they will not be able to renew their season tickets once they are classed as adults. I think the club should consider two catogarys which will benefit both young supporters and loyal older supporters. 1.Student Price - As i said earlier many school leavers go onto further education and can't afford to stump up the sudden £200+ increase in price. It is a big enough struggle trying to get together the kids price when you first leave school. There is also older students to consider as well. Students aren't just people who have just left school 2.Unemployed Price - Now i know many will ask why should the unemployed be rewarded when a lot of people are happy to stay on the dole and shouldn't be rewarded for being lazy. You have to take into consideration though that a lot of fans have been loyal for years and they might have just lost their job therefore will struggle to renew their season ticket. If a supporter has had a season ticket for 5-10 years and looses their job then wouldn't it not be a good thing to help them about a bit and reward their loyalty with a bit of help? Even if the club had small print on this price where it would only be offered to a supporter for one season so the system can't be abused. As i said at the start of this thread i have had a problem this summer where for the first time since 2000 i haven't been able to get my season ticket. I just couldn't afford it and today i started college. I'm 21 and i am going to have to wait until around christmas in the hope that i can get the money together for a half season ticket if they are available. Obviously the club don't know my situation and to them i just haven't bothered renewing my season ticket, but its absolutely killing me not going to the matches. Its painful. I am 21 so i'm obviously not a school leaver but i would have liked my loyalty to have been rewarded a bit more (obviously the club didn't know my situation so i'm not blaming them). Bringing in two catogarys like above would really help a lot of people out and would see more bums on seats at SJP. It would make sense, it would reward loyalty, and it would be more beneficial to the club long term and short term. I want to be at SJP now, i want to be at SJP next season, and i want to be at SJP every other week for as long as my eyes can watch Newcastle play. A bit of help like what i mentioned above will go a long way to seeing me back. I would love you to get this to Chris Mort. I'm sure he would be interested and would take it into consideration.

Big Sam will not be afraid to drop anyone if its needed.

Shepherd was a shite chairman.

Hope he gets back to fitness without any problems and gets himself a good Championship club next season.

Too hard to choose. I think Beye (if he signs), Cacapa, Rozenhal, Enrique, Geremi, Barton and Viduka could all be key players for us over the next few years. Its great to see how much quality we look to have brought in. Absolutely no panic buy stop gaps.

Should never have been sold. Potential to be one of the best in the world.

He's shit.

Seaman was brilliant. People just prefer to remember when he was past his best like Euro 2000 and World Cup 2002.

For once its good news for us. If he breaks down again i won't be blaming McClaren for picking him. Owen needs games and if he doesn't manage to put a run of games together soon he might as well just give up tbh,

Theres 3 different articles on icnewcastle

Super Sib:

Could you not manage to scrape a ticket for the Villa game ? Nah, wish i could. Start college in September and i'm literally down to a few quid at the minute. Its killing me thinking about missing it. Last home Premiership match i missed was Arsenal May 2000. I relying on them making half season tickets available. Welcome to my life for last year and the next 2 years. Im just going to whatever I can afford this season. Would be good if there were some student schemes on or something. Aye its a twat. I've never understood why there hasn't been category's other Kids, Adult and Senior citizens. How are school leavers supposed to pay such a jump in price the second they leave school cos they are classed as adults? Its ridiculous. Luckily my mam sorted me out when i first left school. I'm gonna get a loan next year though so i'll be able to pay for it by that for 08/09 cos i can borrow the money in June and pay it back later. If i manage to scrape together money for matches in these first 4 and a bit months of this season i think i'll probably try and just get to a few away matches and get back to SJP in January obviously.

I've had to give up my season ticket after 7 seasons cos i can't afford it. I'll be able to get a half one then get one as normal every season after that though. 7 years of loyalty points down the piss. Gutted.

He has got his own computer and his own myspace page Is he the first defender we've had in the squad since Howey? (apart from Woody)

Get in son

Can't wait until we play them and he puts in a man of the match performance "OMG we should have kept him, i always said he had the potential to be world class if we give him a bit longer"

The Liverpool fans certainly didn't think so at Anfield a year and a half back

I think he could get 12-15 goals which wouldn't be a bad return at all.

Nah he didn't. He's got 3 years left on his contract.

Agreed.

Chelsea won't sell SWP Makes me wonder what Milner has got to do tbh. Another assist last weekend i see, and i wouldn't be surprised if he makes or/and scores on Saturday. Still won't be good enough though.

West Ham signing more ex-Newcastle players with no end product and injury problems

Rozenhal, Enrique, Geremi, Barton and Viduka are all going to make a difference in a positive way. The other squad players will as well, but these ones are going to improve us massively from last season.
