Derby 0 - 1 Lincoln Charlton 0 - 1 Yeovil MK Dons 1 - 0 Norwich Bristol C 0 - 1 P'boro

Good points. I'd be happy with Warnock, has looked good everytime I've seen him, was suprised initially when Liverpool got rid.

Looks like a Martins-esque 18 tbh

I think he is meaning playmaker in the sit infront of back four spray it around like Ron Jeremy in porn film role.

Guardian season preview: What heaven sounds like "They've had a good afternoon. Here they are looking for number five. Philip Albert... Ooooooh! Absolutely glorious!" v Manchester United, 1996 Then and now 1893: Formed from the union of Newcastle West End and Newcastle East End, their first home League match at St James' brings in gate receipts of about 40 pence. 2008: generating that sort of income every split second from vol au vent sales in the Platinum Suite alone. The credit cruncher Mike Ashley. Rated as the 54th richest man in Britain with a personal fortune of £1.4bn. The sportswear magnate was once described as "Britain's answer to Howard Hughes", yet now seems happy to wobble his enormous tummy in front of thousands of total strangers. Their prospects Despite his vast fortune and fondness for the Toon Army Ashley has been reluctant to invest heavily in the squad and has imposed a wage cap, with the result that the team is short of depth. Much will depend on the fitness of Michael Owen and Mark Viduka - hardly a reassuring sentence given their histories. Mission for Doctor Who Bring back Hughie Gallagher. The Scottish forward whose goals and mercurial skill led Toon to their last League title back in 1927. Combination of brilliance, belligerence (after one game he once pushed the ref into a bath) and drinking would delight fans and headline writers alike. See the ground on Google Earth Search "St James' Park" to see the fabulous if lopsided stadium, from the air appearing a fusion of two different grounds. The players International game St James' Park is truly cosmopolitan with a rich mix of South Americans, Europeans and Africans plus an Australian and a Canadian. None speaks with such an impenetrable accent as Terry McDermott, however. Fab enough for Fabio Guthrie. This neat and busy midfielder would surely make an ideal stand-in for Gareth Barry. Breaking through Kazenga LuaLua. Teenage forward from the Congo whose older brother Lomana used to delight the Tyneside public with his acrobatic goal celebrations. Kazenga is fast and tricky and should get a chance to show off his tumbling skills a bit this season. Newcastle's got talent Geremi has claimed that if he wasn't a footballer he'd like to be a private detective. Since moving to St James' Park he certainly seems to have perfected the art of moving around so stealthily nobody notices him. Who'll give 110% Shay Given. Top-class Irish goalkeeper and loyal club servant who has done an admirable job disguising the Mags' defensive frailties for over a decade. Thousands of Geordie bairns have been named in his honour. Who'll give 1,000% Joey Barton. The player who is to the anger management industry what sweat is to deodorant. Story of the summer Ashley insists that in future the players must pay for their club suits ... Keegan asks for more transfer funds ... Barton talks to his lawyers. The manager Kevin Keegan Here are your best bits Reviving Newcastle when they were near the bottom of the Second Division; almost winning the Premier League; signing Alan Shearer; England's first competitive win over Germany for 34 years in 2000. His tactics board says "Score one more than them. Entertain. Pray Shay has good game." His Post-It notes say "Find out what Dennis Wise does" ... "Buy eccentric South American striker" ... "Take deep breaths before post-match interviews" New face Danny Guthrie from Liverpool, undisclosed Described by Kevin Keegan as 'a mix between Paul Bracewell and Rob Lee'. The Shropshire lad is a box-to-box midfielder fighting with Joey Barton for a place. Not, literally, of course. 'Pocket general' status beckons. Last season Points per game v top four 0.13 v the rest 1.40 FA Cup 4th round Carling Cup 3rd round League discipline Y59 R1 Top scorer Owen 11 Fair play league 15th In this dog-eat-dog league they're... A Border Collie A breed that used to be associated with shearers, but is now frequently made available to more cosmopolitan owners. Instantly recognisable because of its black and white coat, which it can be seen in whatever the season.

I've always thought that. Better going forward and like Carrick he rarely wastes a ball. I find it amazing that Carrick isn't inolved in the England set up because of this, like a poor mans Pirlo if you will.

Would love Michael Johnson here, seems like a better version of Carrick (at that age) from what I've seen of him.

If we were going to have a silver strip the stripes is what we should have had.

Aye its a tempting purchase. Not knocking its nice but knowing Adidas they'd make it that little bit nicer, altho i accept we weren't made by them at the time. C

Missing a trick in a big way. Would love it if an old school tracky jacket came out with the old NUFC badge on it. Used to have the umbro one when i was kid, loved it.

I'll bet you every penny you own it was Bolton. The 1-0? Where he kicks the hoardings to s***? If so, then yes I will bet you every penny. nar. 2-1. IIRC Shearer made his comeback from injury in the same game. came on as sub as my horrendously sad memory reminds me. yup. Really pushing the boat out now. But it was for Barnes I think. Yup sounds about right.

I have to say, and I think Tooj will agree, we don't make enough off us being made by Adidas in terms of the decent retro merch we could release.

Someone for Munich did same celebration i remember and gave his shirt to a little disabled lad.

they have been horrificly run like.

Ta, just when I've read they've been righting off fee's for Bale etc (if true) hasn't made much sense. You from So'ton or something btw? or just a keen observer?

GG, maybe you could exlain, for a team allegedly in financial strife how come they;ve bought that young midfielder for £1.2m? Seems odd.

nah it was Bolton like.

Good tune

He might be a cunt but if he turns out to do alright for us/make us some money I couldn't give a fuck. Definitely seems like this will be his big chance & its up to him to prove himself now.

looklike 23 if you ask me and an unnamed forum member is 23 soon, you're too kind Jon.

:lol: you couldn't make it up

brilliant picture Batigol I can't argue with but my favourite was always Eidur Gudjonsen's 'there you go' for Chelsea and anyone who delibrity annoys the opposing fans with a cheeky shhh

I'd be happy for us not to get whipped tbh, games like this IMO don't matter so much as Bolton game where we are expected to take something from it. Take full points off all the teams in the bottom 7 or 8 in the league then we can build from there.
