You are joking, aren't you? Was thinking the exact same thing tbh. Danny dyer is a t*** of the highest order with his pathetic cockney accent. And a stupid walk too.

Why should Celtic/Rangers, or any other team for that matter be allowed to play in another country for being successful and having big crowds? Both leagues would become false if they came to England. Any team that won the SPL couldn't say they were the best in Scotland. They'd only be the best of what's left. While the old firm aren't wanted by some in Scotland, i hope they're never allowed to play down here.

I dream of it happening one day but seem destined never to win owt. We could play Accrington Stanley in a cup final and still blow it. Hopefully good things come to those who wait and all that. What annoys me is some of the clubs that have won stuff in fairly recent history. Coventry(FA CUP 87) Wimbledon(FA cup 88) Oxford, Norwich, Leicester, Blackburn and of course the smoggy scum in the league cup. Blackburn winning the prem'. Makes me sick. Just give us a cup, even if it's only one to see how it feels and to stop away fans singing "you've never won F*** all".

£35 adults. Don't know how much for juveniles.

Agree with the above.

London- QPR ( no glory-hunting fans, had some canny trips there in the 90s') Birmingham - Birmingham. (find Villa dull, don't like the strips or anything). Liverpool - Tranmere. (fans of both the "big 2" think they're so famous, succesfull and are always praising themselves). Manchester - Man city (like us they follow their club through trophy-less year after year. Manure fans are the ultimate glory-hunters). Sheffield - (Wednesday i suppose). Glasgow - St Mirren (just next door in Paisley, black and white stripes, real fans who don't associate religion with football. Come on the Saints!) Wild card - Blackpool (Canny place, like the tangerine).

Don't know how soon before a game setanta can change English games, but it seems they can move Scottish games at short notice. St Mirren are my favourite Scottish team and their game with Hearts has been moved from Sat' 28 to Sunday 29th of this month. This was announced only last week. Only about a month before the game.

Gone for it. Wor lass currently unemployed so this offer makes it easier to pay for next seasons ticket. I'd buy a season ticket next season anyway, funds allowing. Usually pay to go to most home cup ties too, so any i get for free is a bonus. Got nowt to lose doing it this way in my opinion. If we're not playing too well by the January transfer window the club will have no excuse for not trying to strengthen the side, because they'll have banked a lot of money that they wouldn't usually have at that time of year.

Aye, hope they go down. The 2 headed mutants aren't very welcoming and you always get made to hang around a car park for ages by the local coppers as you approach the horrible place. Oh, and all those chemicals in the air too. Please go down this season.

If it's true that Nobby and wife divorced and she's moved the family away, then i can sympathise. There's not much he can do if she want's to live elsewhere with the kids. I know he extended his contract, but i'm sure he did so in good faith. Maybe the family circumstances have changed since? Don't see why he'd extend his contract if he had no intention of staying. It's only one more year if he stays at the Toon, but i suppose a years a long time with limited access to your kids. It is only speculation. If there's no truth in it then the chronicle are a disgrace.

Check the history books re winning cups. Oh and i've never heard of Garmin either. I've seen Newcastle play 10 times away in Europe. That's probably more away games than you're club's played in Europe. Hope to god you go down soon.

It may have only been a friendly with Carlisle, but after being close to their fans and having to endure some stick, i celebrated our goal like it was the winner in the F.A cup final. I was kissing my badge in front of them and everything. No matter what side we put out, we should be beating these clubs.

It's a big day in the eyes of the Carlisle fans i think. You know, the "big" club from the "big" city coming to town. Their fans see ours as some sort of challenge. Some of our "fans" fuel the bad atmosphere. I saw plenty of charver types goading their lot. At least 2 of the fans who got on the pitch were from the Toon end. I'd seen them in there earlier. As for no seat numbers, a Carlisle fan said on their forum, that they don't normally need seat numbers because there's not usually enough away fans for it to matter. That may be ok playing the likes of Brentford, but not against a relatively local premiership club.

Given there s*** history, what about "tetley one cup "tea bags? Won one trophy in their history and got the nerve to sing "have you ever seen the Geordies win a cup?" when they come to St James'. Really hate them with a passion.

True maybe, but it's hard when no one else around you is interested in singing.

But Big Sam employed the same tactics no matter who was in the side! You can't say that Ivan Campo and Fernando Hierro were long ball players at Real Madrid. Or that Jay Jay Okocha, Nicolas Anelka can only play that way, so why didn't the tactics change? Remember you saw us once last season, some of us had to sit through a whole season of it! Aye, and some Bolton "fans" chose not to sit through very many games at all.

Beating Leicester 2-1 away in 91/92 season to avoid relegation to the old 3rd division. Eventful on and off the pitch. They had a chance of promotion, we spoilt the party and their fans didn't like it. There was hell on. We took the lead. They got a late equaliser, then the same bloke put through his own goal for our winner. What a turning point in the clubs' history that day was. The feeling i had at the end of that game was better than the promotion, reaching the Cup final or qualifying for the champions league that have happened since. Sheer ecstasy and a huge relief.

Are they? I didn't know that as I don't pay any interest in Eurostar as a company as I've never needed to use their train. Cheers for that though. Makes sense. Suppose with safc as a forum name you've never really needed a means of travelling in Europe, have you? Superb. That wit of yours really has cracked me up. So what, we've not been in Europe since the 73/74 season but meh, I can handle that plenty of teams haven't been in Europe during that time. Then again Bradford & Millwall have, but European football isn't the be all and end all of football imo No, the Championship is the 'be all and end all' of football isn't it? Edit: *your football, that is. Says the Derby County fan (I don't deny they deserved to get promoted this season), however Derby were a struggling Championship club and probably would have remained one til Billy Davies came in. Derby were going to be like QPR, Burnley and Preston. Seemingly forever in the Championship. You do seem very bitter towards Sunderland, Morph, why is that? I know plenty of Newcastle fans who just enjoy the derby games and laugh when Sunderland lose but aren't particularly bitter, but you do seem to have a real dislike. Seems i've hit a raw nerve talking about Europe. You're right, European football isn't the be all and end all. It is fun though. Believe me. Us toon fans speak from plenty of experience. As for not being bitter towards Derby rivals, you're the one with FTM in your signature. Doesn't that mean f**k the mags? How bitter is that. Sunderland fans sing more songs about the Toon than about their own team. SMB sums it up. You and the smoggies idea of a good season is doing better than Newcastle. I generally think you come across quite unbiased and fair minded on this site. Unfortunately you spoil yourself by quoting FTM.

The XL on the West ham shirts must stand for Xempt of Legality after the Tevez affair. Cheating cockney tw*ts.

I currently have a season ticket of my own but have applied for tickets in the family enclosure with the bairn. Anyone know what the average time on the waiting list for this area is? Been on the list for a couple of years now. Don't suppose it's easy to get in as there are so few seats in there. Thought i may have stood a good chance this summer because so many people were disgruntled at the end of last season, threatening to chuck it. Things have changed for the better and most people will now renew i imagine. Think i'll probably need to shell out for seats in an "ordinary" area of the ground if i want to get us seats together.

St Mirren, home and away: http://www.blackandwhitearmy.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=11851 Sorry, not clever enough to show the picture so had to put the link in. Worth a look though. Some of you may be more interested in the models than the strips, but they're nice strips IMO.

Isn't that a strikers job, to score goals?

brian LITTLE, julian DICKS.

I think we'd bring the best out of him, again. Aye. This is his home. lives in glasgow now, doesn't keep up with the toon at all he's a washout, leave him be FFS Still a hero in my eyes. Experienced 2 fantastic periods of watching the Toon while he was here as a player and then manager. Unforgettable.
