I'm committed to three years and I didn't get any letter from the club telling me how great I am!! Maybe it only went to those who paid in one lump rather than the direct debit scheme.........

I rubbed it on Monday and just gave it a little rub now, I will be rubbing furiously tomorrow before I head out for the match!!

Mine broke, the handle came off!!

They have had 22 years to plot their revenge for the Newcastle fans visiting Roker Park to support Gillingham and the best they could come up with was to try and copy the exact same thing we did to them.................... Sad fuckers, simple as that! Plus there is little chance that the relegation issues will be sorted out by the penultimate game of the season anyway, they are probably going to be just as involved as we are!! Morons! It won't happen.

Can't see the rest of the structure changing for the last 8 eight games of this season, if Shearer stays beyond that I would expect major changes.

Can anyone on here recall a cup match in recent years when we (at St James') had a crown of under 10k, including the away supporters? I have an Everton fan, kid I think, trying to wind me up saying that he was at St james' for a cup game where the crowd was 9 1/2k made up of 7 1/2k Newastle fans and 2k Everton fans. I am sure he is an idiot as the lowest crowd I can remember is around 18k and I have been going to the match for many years, even going back to the old bottom of Division 2 days and maybe we have had a couple of 15k's in league games but, nothing lower! Give me the confidence to boot this child up his virtual arse please.

Have we been relegated already like?

Solano for sure has a footballing brain, you just had to watch how he played the game and talked to other players showing them where he wanted the ball etc. One player who without any shadow of doubt has not got a footballing brain, nor will ever, is Shola Ameobi.

Does that mean the people, myself included, who signed up for 3 years and have started paying for next years ticket already will not get any further discount other than the initial one? I know I am getting a discount but, there is a great benefit to the club to get my money in early as well as the guarentee that I have renewed!! I feel that a gesture should be offered to reflect the gesture I (and many others) have made to the club already! Great news that they are reducing prices generally though, maybe we can start to get gate numbers to be proud of again!!

Villa did win the big one in 1982, and some league cups since - guess that's why they aren't lambasted like we are. Hope we can get some trophy or other soon tough! Ok, maybe it was the FA Cup that they haven't won for 50 years......... Didn't check my facts, red face!!

A lot is made, in media circles, about the fact that we haven't won anything for 50+ years but, I guess the fans' expectations at Newcastle coupled with our very successful history is to blame for that. Look at Aston Villa, they have almost as big a gap between their last trophy as we have had (even without the mini European success we had with the Fairs and Texaco trophies in the 70's) but, they are not being lambasted for it season after season. I would love to see us win something but, I fear I will have to be satisfied with our mid 90's mini successes in coming 2nd a couple of times and the FA Cup semi finals, the Charity Shield defeat in Shearers first season, the Cardiff appearences. All those nearly's have distroyed my optimism I am afraid.

I have signed up for the direct debit and do not intend to cancel, maybe I am stupid but, I just support Newcastle........ Anyway that wasn't my point! The direct debits were supposed to start on 10th Feb and to date they haven't taken any money! Wonder if I am going to get a further discount and they are waiting to work out the details??? Hopes in vain!

The only critisism I ever had on Harper was that he often took ages to release the ball, especially when their was a chance of a break on but, he seems to have sorted that, at least he was very sharp against the mackems on Sunday.

Apparently there was a backlog of registrations for the FA to ratify caused by the volume of transactions and the shortage of staff caused by FA staff not getting into work due to the weather. However, every other deal managed to be finalised except this one and it has taken until late this afternoon to finalise?? Smells a bit arsey to me!!

maybe Nicky Butt is living on his reputation at Newcastle, he was at one time, a bloody good player. At some point people need to realise that it is game over and their level is now a lot lower than it once was.

just need JFK to sign his 3 year deal to top it all off If Kinnear had a contract offered to him he would be stupid not to sign it as it would guarentee his money whether he was sacked or stayed. I think he hasn't got an offer and was told to annouce that he had to gauge fans reaction, it is clear what everyone thinks of that!!

It wasn't like there was a line of clubs looking to snatch him from us was there? Wonder if he has got a tidy pay rise for his trouble as well?

One year contract extension signed today!! http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1543583,00.html

You do realise that after the 1st of Feb you are legally obliged to pay the payments as the debt is no longer with Newcastle United FC but, with a holding company that pays the club the full amount (less a comission) then collects the monies back from you the punter!! You may find that you start to get some legal mail requesting the money followed by a knock on the door................. Plus, come on, are you a fan of newcastle only when things are going well? You should be ashamed of yourself!! I would go and support my team no matter what league we were in, I have been down to the bottom of Div 2 with Newcastle as well as 2nd in the prem, all good times!! Look inside yourself, are you a supporter or just a glory boy?

3 mins to go and Olivier Kapo says he wants to leave Wigan........... errm, a little late dick head!!

Just heard that we have agreed a fee with Spurs of £3m for Bent, there is an option for us to sell him back in the summer for £46m tied in as a caviat! Decent business..

He is even in "slower motion" than Shola!!

Given a straight choice any player would surely choose Newcastle over Sun***land, wouldn't they?

Keane is supposed to be heading back to Spuds for £15m though, maybe they are trying to balance their books. Bent would cost somewhere around £8m??

Anyone heard a rumour about Darren Bent being in his way to Newcastle for a medical? Probably just a bit of shite but, I just been told by someone who wouldn't know, has no connections to the club and is definatley not in the know!!
