I agree. The players should be. It's our job to show a certain degree of blind faith, even if it is just to help get us over the line. We only have 4 or 5 PL quality players and we've shown previously that we're a big confidence team. Booing them off won't help at all in our race for promotion if that happens of course. Hopefully, we go out and snatch an early goal like we did vs Ipswich (?)...

Would take that. A win is a win.

Just hope our mongs aren't out in force if we aren't winning at half time.

Within 20mins should be safe but otherwise they'd have to collar an official manning the larger wood doors I'd say. That's all based on pure guesswork I may add I thought they were open until like just before half time. Oh well.

Only around 250 tickets left. They've only sold 3 blocks.

That's just grim that video.

Kath Cassidy represents what football was and should still be. A community. Gan have a cuppa with Sir Bob Kath. RIP

Love how it says Newcastle were fortunate they had the likes of Sissoko and Cabella, etc., from a financial point of view. There's nowt fortunate about it. We've simply ran our business better. (Enjoy that sentence as it's probably the only time I'll say it... )

Watching the 4-4 again...that game must literally have been the pinnacle for so many people's lives playing or supporting Newcastle. We absolutely smashed them second half. A few fortunate decisions but on and off the pitch there was 100% belief. Makes you so, so proud. Tiote passing like he was Shelvey

De Jong would arguably be our best target man if we had him in our current squad like. Shame he is never fit like. That being said Murphy has been a fantastic signing.

Thought they'd arrested Nonceson

Sorry to only pick out a small part of your good post Heron, but I just wanted to say how fucking grim it is that our (NUFC) 'fans' sing that shit. I didn't mind when it was "Drink all your beer" and it was a socially acceptable song, that we sung because our team were fucking useless and we were just trying to have a good time. Now it's like some sort of tramp stamp of honour amongst our fucknuts.

When me and the lads went to Lille for the fanzone last summer we were disgusted by the England fans and actually got on with the Welsh a lot better. All of the Northern English fans we spoke to seemed reasonable, handling their drink, not singing about sniffing gear and resorting to traditionally British songs, whereas (as a stereotype) the Southerners were by enlarge acting maybe too nationalistic and singing all the usual shite that we hear so often at England away games nowadays. To the point that they were all pally pally with the Welsh until they scored and began celebrating, then as soon as they celebrated people started fights with them. Obviously as soon as the score changed they goaded them momentarily and then just ignored them, moving back onto songs of cocaine and cheering up Mr Strachan. The problem you have is that most England away fans support the likes of fucking Kidderminster or Kettering and probably only because they were banned by their actual clubs for hooliganism and/or racism a long time ago. They all get together and all act the hard man and tell tales of years gone by. That being said, to add some balance to that article, I obviously cannot verify whether what I am about to say is anywhere near the truth, and actually, I suspect it isn't, nonetheless the bloke who got on the train might have genuinely looked like Tony Yeboah. If it was someone that looked like Oliver Kahn and the same scenario was carried out would it even be mentioned, I think not. However, because our away fans are absolute fucking mongs I suspect they were just being racist / making racist stereotypes. I'll be honest, I used to sing "Ten German Bombers" when I was younger, probably out of blind patriotism / nationalism and actually out of pride, that we fought (and died) for something which is so important. I stopped doing this after visiting war memorials as a teenager, for both allied and axis forces, and the reality is, a lot of people were fighting out of fear, especially young, impressionable soldiers. ( alert ) In recent years I visited Berlin. 2 friends and I were joined by 2 German lads on our bench in a Hofbrauhaus. One spoke no English and likewise we struggled with our limited Deutsch. Yet, the 2nd lad spoke very good and fluent English and got involved in our discussion. We got onto the football (we'd been at a Hertha Berlin game and bought scarves) and after, as so often is the case, we got onto the war. Bizarrely though it was the German lad that mentioned it and he began to call us the Tommy's. Likewise, we called them the Krauts and we shared a proud moment of unity over several more beers, before visiting a Currywurst shack and going our separate ways. Another story I have from one of my battlefield tours was of a veteran from WW2, who had gone visiting somewhere in Germany as part of the commemorative services in recent years (I think it must have been the 50 year anniversary or something). The gentleman in question walked along the bank of the Rhine one night in full British Army attire, with medals on show and was incredibly worried as he approached 3 German teenagers playing football. As he approached he became increasingly worried and yet to his amazement the 3 lads stopped, picked their ball up, walked to the side of the path and stood to attention and saluted him. :love: Most German's are probably overwhelmingly grateful for ousting the Nazi regime, despite their own losses. Therefore, (back on track) what was being done last night is ultimately an embarrassment. Especially to not stand and respect the national anthem. Absolute tosspots.

Zero ambition to do so. Barely willing to keep SJP looking decent. not sure if that is serious, but Goodison is a shithole, (sorry Everton fans I know it will have emotional attachment) way past it's sell by date and not fit for their purpose any longer. St.James' is a wonderful stadium with arguably the best location in England. Why would any sane person want to move from there ? I wholeheartedly agree.

Shame we didn't lose it before Brexit...

5 remaining... Hi Hoooooo....

Colback and Hayden were rotated frequently during that run. I know that but I thought there was a different stat where we had won loads of games in a row when Colback played as well? We won 13 in a row with him playing some part, 10 of which were him starting. And there was plenty of reasonable passing football during that spell. Colback isn't the root cause of absolutely everything that is shit. A fair bit of it, yes.

I think that's about right and they should state that they will be having Wengers involvement in who will be his successor. Let him have the opportunity to walk away dignified and potentially to win a cup and leave his decent image in tact. He's done wonders for that club.

Newcastle United promoted back to the Premier League
