  1. Hope he goes there and fooks them up big style ,more money down the drain as the pressure grows on Rafa and he will wonder wtf he let Crouch go
  2. Depends on how desperate he is ,imho joining us on the up compared to a team in the bottom 6 apart from West ham (London boy) is a no no unless hes not bothered.
  3. They look stylish tbh but skinny fit on me a 46 yo with a paunch noooo way :-[
  4. A refreshing change Why Newcastle fans are one of the marvels of the modern game - and I've got the numbers to prove it By Simon Bird Published 13:15 21/12/09 If you haven’t seen the crowd figure from St James’ Park yesterday here it is: 49,644. Read that again. And again. And marvel. Just short of 50,000 fans turn out to see a Championship match, in sub zero temperatures, on a weekend when money is at its tightest and Christmas shopping beckons. Seeing thousands of happy Geordies trooping off home for Christmas with their club back on its feet, storming away at the top of the league, was a heart-warming sight. Remember these are the fans who are still coming back for more despite two years of turmoil on and off the pitch. They’ve stayed ridiculously loyal, despite the most testing year to be a fan in a generation. Fervour, passion and devotion is what you get from the men, women and kids in black and white shirts sitting in the cold yesterday. Rival fans should remember that crowd figure when they next thrown mud at the Geordie Nation. 49,644. Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Spurs, Manchester City, Birmingham, Fulham, West Ham, Everton. None of them can beat it. Even local rivals Sunderland, last home crowd down to 34,000, despite generous offers of £19 season tickets for kids, can’t get close. To nick a phrase from one acerbic observer who taunts his Mackem mates: “It’s Niall Quinn I feel sorry for.” Newcastle have also taken 7,000 on away trips to the likes of Barnsley. So next time you hear the old cliches being wheeled out: Newcastle fans expect too much success, they get managers sacked, they think they are better than everyone else, they are always crying on the telly. Just stop and think. Newcastle fans are actually one of the marvels of the modern game.
  5. Another win and hey it might not be pretty but who gives a jot cos it could be a whole lot worse considering circumstances and i would like to thank the players and coaching staff for giving us our pride back
  6. TBH i bet Irish football fans must be emmbarrased by this ,ffs its hardly as if there hasnt been contraversal moments in other games in World cups like when Maradonas hand of god goal and i cannot remember us getting all up a height asking for a replay but we just accepted it as these type of things happen and you get over it like they should .
  7. Couldnt be much further to travel tbh but i guess we will still take up our allocation .
  8. Good article and its us against the world and in the words of the Sex Pistols "and we dont care"
  9. Well done to the lad and how long till the chorus of get him to the toon starts .
  10. No cos football violence would come back big time imho.
  11. Very constructive Tbh he makes a bit of sense on a few issues debt,players playing for there adoptive countrys national teams etc but is it really workable and as long as the rest of the european teams are treat the same way no problem.
  12. lets be honest. a lot of the fans didn't give a s*** about tradition and feelings till 1993 and when sir john hall origianally gave the fans the chance to have their share in the club. if he sells the name now then he's a mug unless he gets a deal that bumps up if we are in the prem next season. Speaking for myself i care about tradition going back to our formation in 1892 and i in no way want to see it eroded ,if the ground was built in a different location than fair enough but not in this way ffs would everyone just accept red and white stripes cos i certainly wouldnt put it past him .
  13. There was a University professor of Economics or something like that on the radio Newcastle sports (football) show last night and he reckons in the premiership we could expect about £75 million for naming rights but in our current situation only about £3.5 million per season if my memory serves me right and imho its hardly worth the name change for that pittance ,Ashley you really dont give a shit about tradition and feelings for the area and i hope you rot in hell.
  14. Thats us fucked for incoming buys in Jan.
  15. He does care what the fans think and he cares enough to take a lower pay-off to make sure that the truth came out. What a b****** he is... Wonder if ever comes out and apologies to us the fans instead of using spokesman on behalf of himself but hey im just sentimental . What does he have to apologise for? Being constructively dismissed? No what i am saying is KK has always loved the fans and he knows how to work the media and i was just hoping he could come forward and express his feelings to us instead of a spokesperson ,the Chronicle has always loved him why not them and thats all i was hoping for just a bit of a message to us . Check out the message in my signature. Oops silly me

  18. Lets get back to winning ways and sharpish and back on top.Its our lack of killer ball that worries me as that has been our downfall recently.

    Chris Hughton

    Which ultimately is no big deal, despite the hysterics coming from NUFC.com and others. With the continuing impasse regarding the sale of the club, it probably offers Hughton the respect he deserves while not tying down any untried or long contract expensive manager who would take a further chunk of wedge away should a future owner not want them. I agree with this also and it makes sense but long term no thanks ,just get us promoted Chris and get your moment of glory after being so dignified in this whole shambles.

    Chris Hughton

    What amazes me is that we are going through a run of poor form and he offers Houghton the managers job ,he has done well to get us to the top but i think its more down to the players than the manager and lets be honest this is a piss poor division and i dont expect any less than top 3 with the players we have available after accessing our opponents.Houghton fits the criteria for Ashley in that he wont go knocking Llambias office door down asking for millions and he is comfy in the knowledge that Ashley hasnt got a plan a or plan b anyway for example getting us promoted and keeping us there ,all Ashley wants imho is promotion then sell up when the club will be a better proposition to a buyer .
  21. Has Maradona watched Spidermans performances for us this season thinking he warrants a place in the starting line up for Argentina :toke:
