I was there and that photo of the four of them was taken. Looks like it has been put through an awful filter. Agree that it looks nothing like Beardsley and Keegan and they looked a lot better than that in person!

I was also in the block right next to the away fans last night - L7J Firstly I thought the atmosphere was very good. However I couldn't believe the amount of Southern Asian/East Asian there. Many with half and half scarves. It was as if the universities got a hundred tickets for their foreign students. All of them seemed to be sitting together, as in not random single seats on their own. I was too busy celebrating the Barnes goal to see how they reacted. Although one East Asian couple were stood smiling, politely clapping. What I did notice was the amount of phone footage taken, especially zooming in on Barca players when they were attacking the Leazes end. One guy in front of me was looking at his snapchat more than the match itself. No singing or reaction to anything going on, on the field. Again I was too pissed off at the penalty and the ref to see who might have celebrated it. Sad state of affairs if this is the way this is going. There are many fans for many years who would have loved to have been there.

Did we ever have a squad photo with the trophy this season? Did we even have a squad photo? I did see a photo them seemed to include all of the staff at the training ground but that's not a proper team photo for the season is it?

Fully agree with you. We did used to sing 'Mitros on fire, your defence is terrified' when Mitrović was playing but yeah, why the hell is he playing it at the end of games?

Looks like JT is wearing a rain jacket here...

Awful for first goal! Why was he further forward than Tino?!

Aesthetically I think 'NOON' is worse. No need for the extra large yellow square. A small rectangle or just the letters would be so much better

Spezial one looks canny but the badges on front don't look to be positioned correctly. A usual issue with snides. Terrace one looks more or less right. Like you say, for £13 each, most people won't notice

The 92/93 shirt didn't have a white line around the blue star. I think there were 2 different stars used on the barcode strip. The second half of the 90/91 season: 91/92 and 92/93. a darker blue and no outline

New also on the website: Crest colours on the barcode shirt look a little too dark

ok, so the scarf has one of our two colours right. Barca play in maroon and navy.

I saw a few people wearing these last night. I can't get my head round the fact that Barca don't play in red.

The collar is very much last seasons collar isn't it? A very 'meh' effort

aaaahh the added crowd noise and commentary after the event from Mr Thames

Third Change Shorts

I can only think of one last season and that was the originals collection. What were the other two?

I watched the Everton match in Shearers and before a free kick in the second minute it panned to the crowd and I thought it's him! Just checked the full match replay on the official site and indeed it is: From 2mins 26 secs - Video - Newcastle United

There was a difference in the badge too. Now there is a completely different collar! £10 increase on the pro version this year

Long sleeves on the replica top (as per collar). Looks a bit daft without getting a Premier League badge. Stripes should run all the way down. Other thoughts, big difference in collar again with the pro and replica versions.

Has to be this. End of discussion

I managed to get one on eBay a couple of years ago. I always remember the advert with it in the 87/88 programmes. What other 80's delights did your mam drop off??

Had this as 8/9 year old, so always fond of this. As well as the collar being too 'high', sleeves are too short

Without checking, I'm sure the original had better detail than this, mainly the castle behind the magpie and it said 'Newcastle United' in the banner

It didn't top the original but it's a massively underrated shirt. Possibly best away kit of recent times
