Sounds canny, at the right price. Better than the name of someone who could move on. How much do nufc charge for letters/numbers, and what do the numbers look like for next season? I refuse to put anything with a championship logo on my shirt. We're a Championship team now. Or did that whole relegation thing escape you? Cos if it did, buddy, I've got some bad news... Oh sorry, have i missed something? My point is, smart a*se, that i don't want to wear a championship badge pure and simply because i'm embarrased that the club i love is in the championship in the 1st place. I don't want to walk around advertising the fact. Gosh, you're right. Here's a bucket of sand: bury that head! We're in the Championship, so learn to enjoy it. Sorry if you need to constant glare of the Sky cameras to maintain your enjoyment boner. Pass the fizzy pop, chaps! Let's hope we can enjoy it. That depends on how well/badly we do of course. Hopefully our stay in the championship will be short before going back up, but for me i think it's more a case of enduring championship football. It's my club and i'll take whatever goes with following them. Don't expect me to proudly parade my championship logo on my shirt though.

Dear me, looking at that list brings home the harsh reality of this mess.

got a text from a southern based geordie "mate" taking the p**s. He's not a football fan and doesn't understand what we go through. He suggested i end my interest in NUFC, and of course i wont do that. Being a Toon fan still gets the blood pumping, even through the bad times. I'm going to visit him in a couple of weeks, something that was pre-arranged. Hope we don't fall out over it.

The media can say what they like about us, but we sell a hell of a lot of papers etc for supposedly not being a big club.

How good would it be to stay up now? Sunday will simply be one of the best/worst days of our football supporting lives. My predictions are 1-1 with the Toon, and 1-0 to Man U. Hope to god i'm right, but have to try and mentaly prepare myself for the worst. At least it'll be decided one way or another, and we can move on. I don't like Bernie Slaven, but he came out with a canny quote the other night when he said "it's like sitting in the electric chair, waiting for someone to flick the switch".

A classic tune. Doesnt seem that old either. RIP Busker. Villa should play this after the game if we somehow stay up.

I like that. It's defiant and valid wether or not we survive. If the worst happens, lets be even more defiant and show this country of Toon haters how good us fans really are by turning up in good numbers. f**k the lot of them.

Let's hope they're still singing about us rather than supporting their team next Sunday too, it's been doing our survival hopes wonders. Unbelievable isn't it? A game in which Sunderland can assure survival. Do their fans get behind their team and sing them on to a vital victory? No, they sing songs about Newcastle for about 15 mins solid instead. Super fans eh?

We've still got every chance of staying up, as hopefully only a draw will be needed. Villa seem a shadow of their former selves. Whatever happens, i'll be glad when our destiny is sealed. I've had enough. We've been through the emotional wringer this season.

I was saying only last night, that he'd been good to us this season. Gave us that dubious penalty v the mackems, and gave Stoke a goal kick at Hull last week, when it was obviously a corner and a chance to equalise at the death. It seems he's not so keen on us anymore.

I can't believe that professionals can be affected by banners and protests. We lost that day simply because the team wasn't good enough. What was our excuse for losing to the likes of Blackburn and the Mackems?

We go for the bus me think, just take some beers in london, then sleep on the bus Saves us one night in a hotel Thanks for all guys! EDIT: Easyjet will fly us from Stansted to Newcastle and back on sunday, cheaper than train, and and aloooot faster! There's the megabus. It's about £19 each, so not sure if it's the cheapest option. Leaves London at 23:15 and arrives at 05:40. Long journey, but will save paying for a hotel. Buses are decent, with a toilet etc. http://www.megabus.com/uk/index.php

The back looked awful on the stadium announcer at half time. Still buying one though. Could be purple with yellow dots on and as long as it's got that club crest on, most of us would still get one.

I think some of the stick Keith is getting is a bit harsh. He's simply passionate about the club, and, like most of us, is upset at it's decline. He has his own idea of who is responsible, and has made it clear that he doesn't expect everyone to share his views. You can't get away with hitting people at football matches, but many would have reacted in the same way in those circumstances. I find it sad that a true fan is banned, while some fans leave games early, turn on their own players, boo substituted Toon players off etc.

Hulls' loss yesterday is our "get out of jail free" card. Please lads, don't throw it away Tomorrow. I'm not building my hopes up at all, because years of let downs have made me naturally pessimistic about the Toon. Win Tomorrow and i think we'll stay up, draw, then who knows? Heaven forbid we lose, then it'll be hard having to make up 3 points on 2 teams. I fear a sleepless night tonight. It could be one of the best/worst games of our lives. Things are starting to go through my mind, like how i'll feel on Tuesday morning etc. It's an awful situation, and i never want to go through this again.

My sister-in-law reckons she heard on the radio, that you get 15% off new Toon shirt on presentation of a season ticket at the club shops next Thursday. Anyone else heard likewise?

I had to watch the game on setanta, at home. Unfortunately i was ill and and i gave up my ticket. TV cameras followed him through the whole performance, and i don't think he swore. He did break up his singing with the odd mumble. I struggled to pick up on what he said, and i was 3 yards from my tele, which was fairly loud. I'd be surprised if things could be heard more clearly in the ground. Personally, i like his Blaydon races thing, but i think it should only be done v the Mackems. If the fans got behind the side in the 1st place, no-one would need to try and get an atmosphere going. Frankly, some of our lot are embarrassing, booing our own players and leaving before the end of evenly poised, crucial games. It's not only the team that will be cleared out if we go down. It'll sort the fans out too.

I think Martins is the most dangerous of our strikers, because he can create a shooting opportunity for himself.

I still think we could manage 5 or 7 points from Boro, Fulham, Villa games. Hopefully Hull/ Mackems pick up next to nothing. It's probably wishful thinking on my part. I'm bracing myself for going into the Championship really.

She reminds me of a cabbage patch doll.

Funny how it says "invite your friends". As if they've got any.

Saw Viduka coming out of Morrisons at Cowgate this afternoon. Maybe he shares a bed-sit with students in Fenham? He had a small plastic bag, probably full of beans to eat cold, straight out of the tin.

The back's poor. An attempt to get an extra few quid off us for a number as usual. Hope it won't be the last time we wear a premiership badge on it if it's worn at Villa.
