I think last night being described as a wake up call is a fair comment, some of out players looked as if they just had to turn up and they would go home with the points. Agree with micks point. That result was just a reminder to all that there is actually work to be done this season. I really wish Sky etc wouldn't interview our fans. Nothing wrong with optimism but let's have some caution with it. It may turn out to be the case and i hope so, but claims we're going to walk the league and then take the premier league by storm next season are just asking for national ridicule.

Same here for me and my daughter. Both existing season ticket holders. Haven't moved seats and we weren't expecting a new card for either of us. Puzzled and fully expecting one of us to be denied entry to the 1st home game next Saturday. No doubt resulting in having to mess about visiting the box office to get them them to sort it out, potentially missing KO.

No. Been wondering about that. Direct debit payment didn't change on my last payment date, just last week,. 1st of July.

FTM. Flag to moscow?

Aye. It's above the vehicle access bit. Decent height to see the games from.

RTG man. Thread after thread about nufc. Comments about shearer, they'll never have a player of such stature in their ranks. They're struggling with the fact that we've accepted relegation and are actually now quite positive, although I agree when they say we shouldn't count our chickens. They're getting a reminder of what potential lies up the road with the ticket sales for a championship season. They're a nothing club who achieve nothing themselves and whose only pleasure is any nufc related negativity. They're only known in relation to Newcastle. They're like some of these so called 'reality' tv stars who are only 'famous' and make it on to shows for their relation to an actual star. Angie Bowie in big brother, callum best and bianca gascoigne in the jungle for example.

Very apt gesture from Borini there. Reminds me of the safc stance of "Sssh, we'll not admit Johnsons a peado until he saves us from relegation". Strip's awful btw.

we're on the price freeze thing by DD. Checked bank the other day and our payment on 1st June hadn't gone down. Think nufc.com said the club would issue letters about refunds/reductions. Expecting a small refund or remaining payments to drop soon.

Some momentous occasions reeled off in that season ticket video eh? Airport attempt just reinforces the fact that it's all about us with safc. Oh and I was thinking, that adam Johnson prison team could be called tor-peado HM prison whichever he's in.

Just that they have to include FTM on any flag/banner says a lot about them. It's all about us.

Ironically, i'm sure when we blew the title in 95/96 we had a home game with spurs to end. Think we had to win and the mancs lose at the smogs. That day day we still had feint hope of success. Could be same again Sunday.

Aye. Probably the least painful way to go down would be with the mackems winning tonight. I've got to hope Everton beat them of course but i've a feeling that would give us false hope because we probably wouldn't take advantage on the last day when a draw or watford win in their game is perfectly feasible.

I heard the radio newcastle news earlier and they said sunderland were advising fans to arrive early for the Everton game as they're expecting a big crowd. That says a lot. Big crowds are obviously unusual down there. Something new that they're not used to and therefore they have to be advised on how to act in such a rare event. Had a few workplace mackems trying to take the p*ss but their time will come. They can't continue to flirt with relegation annually. It'll catch up with them soon.

Could do with Delli Alli being banned for the rest of the season.

Thing is after our norwich loss I'd resigned myself to us being relegated. It's just the Newcastle way to give us hope only for the rug to be pulled from under us in the last few games. They've just programmed me to expect the worst outcome after all these years .

not trying to detract from our desperate situation but Norwich look miles better than us? 1 point from their last possible 21 having conceded stacks of goals. We're useless away from home but if we can't beat Norwich and villa away we deserve to go down. They really should be 2 of the 4/5 wins needed but not sure we'll beat those 2 even.

Wonder what sort of boots he wore? 'Predator?'

As there was no toon game yesterday i got the train up and watched St Mirren (been my favourite Scottish side for years). Shared a carriage with 'Macca'. Anyone remember him? He's a blind lad who used to ring the local phone ins regularly and talk about his teams, Sunderland and Hibs. Hibs were playing a league cup semi in Edinburgh yesterday. I had to endure a lot of SAFC related talk between him and his mate but i admire his love of the game. I can see what's going on at Newcastle games and i sometimes find it hard to get interested. He was talking about listening to games etc.

Sad news. He went everwhere with this club and like john alder was one of the most recognisable faces in our support. As has been mentioned he passed having seen very little reward for his dedication. He obviously loved his hobby and the toon though. RIP Cliffy.

That takes me back. We had 'Shoot' covering the North East with a main game on a Sunday. Even Hartlepool and Darlington were chosen sometimes. When i think of the toon on Shoot i'm getting images of Peter Withe in a Bukta shirt in front of a half built leazes end. Feeling very nostalgic now.

Sick of these hard luck stories. Need to get points. A much more slender defeat than expected yesterday but ultimately no points. Results elsewhere were awful. Need to turn things around quickly or else.

even the top managers play their chances down with a 'there are no easy games' type speech so I think you're being a bit harsh. I'd rather he did that than say we've just got to turn up.

Newcastle are/were a big club, Birmingham aren't, that's the point though. That's away as well, they were at home. Are you saying that our fans wouldn't gloat if Chelsea went down this season and we had them last game of the season? Or if a team like Spurs, Everton or Villa went down? I think it's totally naive to think that our home fans wouldn't like. Our fans are spiteful by default to the extent that they boo most ex-players purely because they're ex-players. we might gloat if a big club went down but going to the effort of taking bed sheets im not so sure. They were numerous that day too. Way OTT. Let's make sure we stay clear of the drop 1st but a bottom 3 including villa and the mackems would be fantastic.

that's exactly the sort of outcome this crazy club are capable of. Hope they prove me wrong this time.

When you think about it, a point a game will normally keep you up with 38 points. Yesterdays win leaves us almost matching points per games played. Not very ambitious I know but a win every 3 games on average keeps you up.
