Just when I thought we couldn't become any more of a joke. Total shambles.

Fantastic goalkeeper, great guy a legend of our club. Nothing but total and utter respect for the bloke.

I'd rather keep Ashley than Freddie, that's how much I detest that horrific man.

Can't seriously believe people are actually considering a Shepherd return would be a good thing. Stupid stupid people.

Too good for us and the majority of our stupid fans.

Glad to hear that about Troisi, wondered what happened to him after he got released. Looked a decent enough player but a tad lightweight. Good luck to him.

If Freddie comes back that'd be me pretty much done I think.

If I could logistically get to the ground, I'd be more excited about having a season ticket for this year than I would for any of the past previous years to be honest.

Hear hear.

It's been fairly strong for a while, I think it's going to be a bit of a culture shock for our supports who live in Premier League cloud land. Not to mention the press will be on our back the second we drop any points, no matter the opposition or the circumstance.

Misunderstood.

Some absolute pricks in this thread, I know you are entitled to your own opinion and all, but stuff like this makes me realise how fickle and rubbish Newcastle fans generally are and that we probably deserve Championship football.

Please don't call him that - just reading it makes me want to cry

Players voting for awards = players proving they are idiots.

Two words: Mike Hooper gary kelly john burridge steve hardwick john karelse Mark Bosnich? He was f***ing dreadfull. Bosnich?! Are you on crack? He was quality at Villa before his personal life had a massive knock on his playing career.

I want to go to the Srnicek school of goalkeeping!

You can say the same about Don Revie's 'Dirty' Leeds - the mentality for a fair number of teams at the top is win and win by any means necessary. That's football.

Finally we have a manager who knows how to get the best out of Shola after playing with him... ...release him on a free.

April Fools surely?!

Richard and Adam Eckersley Shola and Sammi Ameobi

Had a pretty rotten game today but not as bad as people on here are making out.

To be honest Butt is far far far from my favourite player, but that's a really good interview and he speaks a lot of sense.

Whole interview can be seen here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/football_focus/7943614.stm

Very unlikely any of them would want to come here, especially considering the fact we're no longer going to pay 'silly' wages. Also lay off Nacho, he's been injured ffs! He could have been the playmaking midfielder we've been crying out for.

Been my thought all along regarding his health. Although I'd love to see someone come in and sort us out properly the very earliest that's likely to happen is the summer, so all we can do is hope our current 'dream team' keeps us up. I'm sure the next appointment will be 'Souness-esque' anyway as we so love to do.
