That's just our record for consecutive wins. hm that was copied out of the guardian match report, assume it's a typo then "their" presumably

A win for Newcastle would see them equal the Premier League record for most consecutive victories (seven). fuck me, amazed it's so low tbh...howay the lads!!

just properly noticed newcasale too mackems take the north easts top classy dogs trophy for advertising this year then

FWIW I think it'll look alright on. We've had plenty in the past that looked far, far worse on the non-promo pics than this. aye this, it'll depend how much the "spikes" dominate the shirt 'cause otherwise it's a fairly simple decent design...however on that leaked pic it does look like it's made out of the cheapest shit in the entire world though

very good

Terry, Ivanovic, Meireles & Ramires all out for the final huh? Fucking good. Thing is, if we're unable to finish 3rd or 4th by the time they play it I'm starting to hope they win the bastard.

christ not quoting that it's old, old ground Stu and i'm sort of sorry i even brought it up...my personal criticism of him this season (there was none last season) was very specific and related solely to the poor performances/results at the turn of the year until basically wba away when everything clicked, he seemed incapable of either improving our form at one point or even making positive changes to try to do so, however he did in the end so fair play to him i for one was more than willing to give pardew a chance when he came if you remember, although i certainly haven't been able to follow his career as closely as you have

sorry but how you know this any more than other people 'know' the alternative Stu? i'm not saying you're right or wrong but being objective about this season imo Pardew started with a system which was successful on the back of Ba being prolific and the defence tight, Ba went to the ACoN and then we hit rocky patch during which Pardew stuck to the same system and tried to make players fit where they didn't really fit consequently performances and results suffered to the point where it looked very, very grim against Sunderland at home* when Pardew threw on HBA to try and make something happen, which he did....the rest appears to be history now *incidentally if it was all a masterplan from him why play a style against wolves & sunderland in particular that isolated cisse and made him very ineffective? there's been virtually no change in player availability in those games to now yet the 'new style' is bringing out the best in cisse, and that was obvious from the moment the lad first took the pitch the way it panned out i just don't believe the entire thing was a plan from the start, the way the system just 'clicked' looked far too haphazard and he clung to the old system too long when it just wasn't working...for whatever reason he did what he did at west brom and we are where we are i would echo what a lot of other people have said though, when people were calling for HBA to be in the team ealrier (myself included) and Pardew left him out - that is starting to look like a masterstroke tbh...if your assumption is that hoying him on to try and rescue the wolves and sunderland games, then starting him vs. norwich and finally WBA was just "the right time" and part of the plan then fair enough but you're assuming as much as anyone else is when they think the contrary imo...i honestly think HBA forced himself in and of course his work on the defence and getting important contributions from fringe players has been outstanding...not easy to be defensively tight yet offensively dangerous but pards has managed the balance very well he's done a fucking great job mind, long may it continue

not just clasico, international games, important CL games etc....until tonight maybe it's the making of the lad???

Copa Del Reye last season. He scored the winner there. Apart from that, don't know, depends on what counts for 'big game' for you. wasn't that pen or summit? either way a massive criticism of ronaldo has always been he's a flat track bully...fair play to him for this Was a header. ok, ignore the main point if you want

as much as i hate to see real win i'm kinda feeling that ronaldo deserves that really question: is that literally the first time he's influenced a massive important game (positively)? outside of england

Gerrard injured again. started his career as a cripple, ending it same way apparently...shame

jesus read with interest what he said about hughton and being sacked from southampton...made me like him more tnh

this season had me thinking does any club sing a version of this, if not why not (us)?: To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear the unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To write the unwritable wrong To be better far than you are To try when your arms are too weary The reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow that star No matter how hopeless, No matter how far To fight for the right Whithout question or pause To be willing to march into hell For a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will be peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world would be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star

the more i think about it i reckon i'll have to get a france shirt in one colour for hba and one colour for the dreamboat a man can live his life only wearing 2 shirts socially i'm sure

you sound like a few people on here (me inc.) when we had that rocky patch around the time of the derby....you just need moyes to realise hba is a game changer and cisse should start banging in the goals for you no bother and all

not if manyoo beat them it doesn't

it's in man city's hands now

dafaq, 4-4?!!

who was the other fella always going on that you can't succeed without spending big, Unbelievable iirc?

i wonder what NE5 would have made of this fucking carry on

to be honest, when you consider everything if we finish 4th, 5th or 6th it'll be a monumental achievement by pardew and the players like, 4th would be out of this world really - when you take everything into account (lunatic owner, 2nd season after relegation/promotion, extremely tight budget etc.) it'd be akin to winning the league really

it really does look like a number of things have aligned themselves and fallen into place for the lad, fucking delighted for him and us and all hope he goes to the euros and tears it up with cabaye
