Maybe, but it is called The Premier League. Perhaps the simplest way to recall the correct name is to remember that - it is NOT a "ship".

Not in my experience. Sunderland perhaps, but "Newcastle and the North East" as a region - NO !!

It is The Premier League.

I'll let you have the prozac matey, if you need it. ME . . . never !!!!

As said earlier, who cares whether UEFA need new glasses or not??

Who cares if UEFA didn't "recognise" the Fairs Cup, perhaps they are just a poor quality organisation. Historically this UEFA organisation did not organise all European Football Tournaments, they do now. Despite all your points above, the Fairs Cup was a much better, much more difficult to win "2nd European Tournament" than the UEFA Cup eventually became, for the reasons I stated. You shouldn't put too much stock in what UEFA ever say, about anything. I think we all know what type of organisation they are.

The European Fairs Cup was never 'demoted' (not sure what that means). In 1971 the name changed to UEFA Cup when UEFA took over the organisation of it. The Fairs Cup was a much higher quality tournament than it's immediate successor (UEFA Cup) eventually became and the Europa League that it eventually changed to, as in the Fairs Cup days only the one top team from each country went into the European Cup so most of the top teams were in the Fairs Cup. Nowadays most of those top teams are in the European Cup / Champions League.

Yeah, I have never 'counted' the Intertoto Cup, personally. I only include the TOP competition (European Cup / Champions League) and the 2ND competition (Fairs Cup / UEFA Cup / Europa League). Plus the "European Cup Winners Cup" as that was considered a 'major' tournament also, which the Intertoto was definitely NOT !!!

This was our European football record, prior to this season . . .

Ha ha - LOVE it. Milan !!!!

I think they can (medium term) look forward to many more 'derby battles' against teams like Hartlepool and Gateshead !!!

I love the joke name!

Irrelevant. If they want a fight we now have the right people owning and running us to just S Q U A S H them. Or - more likely - to just ignore them. Irrelevant.

I can see this being worth a LOT of sponsorship money to us, if we amend the stadium name to . . . Saudia @ St James' Park What do people think of that?

Anyone can be "accused of" anything !!! Just repeating that meaningless statement is of no use to him, me, you, or anyone.

I thought you were talking about St James' Park! Were you talking about the Metro? West Newcastle was always the extension Tyne & Wear PTE wanted the most, but from day one it was dismissed as it was too expensive - sadly !!

in 2010 I remember writing about all the many proposals to extend the ground over the years . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/st-james-park-nufc-off-the-field-activities-stadium-expansion-proposals-player-transfers-history-of-club-etc.458915/post-63356809

It was only one of a number of 'aspirations' by the club at that time. I am still searching through my papers from those years, but I cannot remember any serious proposals being developed, and no City Council planning applications about it were ever made.

These are the only images I have retained of the "Number 1 St James" plans from 2007 . . .

I used to have them here (dated 2nd April 2007) but they seem to have been deleted . . . https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/archive/number-1-st-james-park/ I'm sure I will have saved them somewhere, I'll keep looking !

Mackem crap.

It was indeed a while ago . . .

He is my favourite comedian, ever since Tommy Cooper passed away !!! (c'mon kiddies you KNOW who Tommy Cooper is . . . you DO !!!)
