overrated player.. as simple as that... would never score more than 15 goal at premiership... and he will be lucky to score that 15

personally i don't think we should play anything and that piece above is spot on

nufc.com say

Amid ongoing rumblings from some fans over the "theme from Local Hero" tune, we've inevitably had requests from various quarters to either back calls for its reinstatement or mount a campaign to try and achieve that.

At the risk of infuriating the Mark Knopfler fan club though, can we just say that we won't be adding our weight to any protests of petitions.

Quite simply, we don't miss it and can't quite understand why some people seem to be getting quite so het up about its removal from the SJP pre-match running order.

After all we're talking about an instrumental track originally composed by a Glaswegian living in London for a film set in Scotland.

The ring tone generation seem up in arms because the tune is part of our "heritage", but  for us, the tune first heard here in the mid 1990s became synonymous with Alan Shearer and lost whatever relevance it had after his retirement.

And given the globalisation of our squad, it's a moot point who the local heroes actually are now - the nearest perhaps being Greenwich- born Steven Taylor or Nigeria's Shola Ameobi.

And unlike the pre-match rituals at Liverpool (You'll Never Walk Alone) and West Ham (Blowing bubbles), there's nothing participatory about Local Hero, no words to sing - and to our mind the only contribution to the atmosphere were the cheers of relief at the end after the final drum beats.

The current Sham 69 ditty probably isn't the answer, but in a perfect world we'd like nothing to be played - and the crowd build up their own atmosphere.

Those days seem to have gone, sadly - not helped by the teams coming out together - not separately - and fannying about with handshakes and introductions that were once only seen before cup finals and internationals.

We can't claim credit for an original suggestion, but how about an attempt at the Blaydon Races - and not the traditional old version that only seemed to be aired before losing home cup ties in extra time or penalties.

Surely some local beat combo could supply a souped-up version of Geordie Ridley's genuine Tyneside ode that could be played and turned off in time for the crowd to supply the vocals for the chorus?

A sign of the times would be that some sort of lyric sheet would probably be required - unless the club can run to a new scarf giveaway, with the lyrics woven in.....

Chris Mort says: "I hope the momentum created by the toon ultras up in level 7 really catches on throughout st james park."

 

From todays official programme...

 

 

 

BBTN.

indeed if it hadn't been for them this season the atmosphere would have been pitiful

probably be up until kick off time but i think the place where you pick your tickets up is just above shearers bar in the gallowgate

Sunderland

Middlesbrough

Derby

 

Going down, yes please!

spurs tbh then that is my 3 most hated teams going down

we love you nobby

i turned it on mute because it was that cringeworthy

Theres a f*** load of ex-acadamy players at Newcastle BlueStar.

Marc Walton.

hate him total scumbag

GET THE FOOK IN

R.I.P.

berbatoon

David Beharall

someone find out what happened with him

if he had a cat he'd probably wank that

I'd take him at City.

 

I assume the inevitable "misquoted" or "taken out of context" excuse will be trotted out at some point tho. Shame, I would actually like him to leave, I think he's a good player and he's really turned his act around - He doesn't seem such a massive t*** nowadays, and I'm a big fan - so I'd rather not see him in a team full of such contemptable c***s.

 

PS: Is

"The damage in the dressing room is big because we know now what happened and who caused Mourinho's departure."

 

John Terry? 

abramovich who is avram grant's bumboy

he supported newcastle as a boy

it is his lifelong ambition to play for us

Cyprus one up against the Republic...

 

Staunton looks f****** clueless. Reminiscent of Roeder tbh.

surely he has got to go now like

f****** goal from Lafferty, Northern Ireland 1-1 Sweden now

:celb:

i thoght barton was peter beardsley . mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif

2-0 bloody nora

Hope Scotland make it, tbh. Be nice to have one home nation team to take an interest in.

indeed they need to come back well to get at least a point

btw do france still have to play italy

only the cockneys hate the jocks and vice-versa but the scots love geordies 

Not Robbo's fault tbh.

 

Trouble is you need to leave the centre a good 45 minutes before the game - Reading were notorious last year for only having a couple of gates and some seriously officious stewards for away fans

 

what do you mean about the stewards?

fat sam back to bolton hopefully
