Nolans best game yet?

It'll do the team a whole world of good to here the crowd reaction to this and to see what kind of reaction they can generate from the crowd when they turn it on.

And they've sold some key personnel too but all the same - we can only beat what's put in front of us.

Too right. That's more like it. We are Newcastle United.

And the rest...................

Offered nothing at all going forward.

What a fucking well worked goal.

Like a shitter Cheryl Cole more like. Even she would've scored that header.

Offered nothing at all going forward.

Playing well, better team, missing a decent forward and Enrique has been the stand out player thus far.

I think his legs are gone.

If we had a Bellamy-esque player (i.e; little, aggressive and fast) we'd be out of sight by now here.

Aye, I can see that happening, not a bad guess Minhosa. Ashley said a long time back he'd be keen to bring in other investors to spread/share the risk. May well be what happens here now. Is one of things that made me think of it mate. The fact they are there today and looking pally etc only reinforces imho. It allows him to sit and wait for promotion and they can use the Moat money to invest in the first team. Sell it then.

The right side is complete gash. Ryan Taylor is garbage.

Here's my prediction; Ashely will sell a stake to Moat and they'll jointly own it, with Moat taking responsibility for the day to day running............all for a lesser fee than the £100m originally quoted. You heard it here first. Straight from the horses knackers.

He contrived to give the keeper a chance to save it.

Nolan was looking there thinking 'where the fucks our right back?'

Barton's been quiet.

Enrique is our best player. I'll be amazed if we can keep him.

I've gone for 3 different bets today; The First Cardiff & Ipswich win double The Second Man City Wolves Notts County Fulham Any 3 from those 4. The Third Chelsea, Sunderland Double.

Sorry Dave. Must've missed that one. Merge if you think best.

Amen to that.

That's the thing...........I always thought I'd miss the Premier League but watching the build up and looking at highlight of previous seasons it seems too gloosy, too measured and a bit plastic. I don't know whether that's the Sky effect or the players these days or even a new generation of football fans. All I know is, I am really looking forward to the season, the new opposition, the new grounds and the proper fans more than I have done for years, actually longer than I care to remember.
