Irish League, League 1, League 1, League 1, Scottish Premier League and League 2. Wowza. Getting practice in for next year? Probably. You would think Ashley would be encouraging us to try and get friendlies against big name teams so he could cash in on some attendances before he fucks off for a cornish pasty, 3 jumbo sausage rolls, 4 pizza slices and 8 doughnuts from Greggs.

This will be proper kinky.

I think they should develop a changing of the guard type strategy. Each member of the NUSC must take their turn outside Fat Mike's house and at each change of the member or guard they should take a dump on his doorstep.

I beg to differ. When going to an away game, you expect to be beaten as a Newcastle fan. Therefore, despite the 90minutes being dissappointing, the trip back is always good too.

Nice to see we are being ambitious about who we play this pre-season...

Habib won't leave. I had a word with him at church yesterday.

Have faith man....

Probably the best seats in the house.

Aye you wouldn't have thought so like, it's quite a small ground in height isn't it?

Being hundreds, if not thousands of miles from home, seeing someone wearing your home towns top and immediately assuming they are part of your friend or family network just because they love the same team you do.

Groovy, where are you sat/stood? Block 29, Row 12, 6 & 7. We are Block 29, Row 27, Seats 23-26. Sounds like alright seats to me...

Relegation. ELL OH ELL.

Guthrie and................................... Barton Guthrie and..............Coloccini...

I spoke to Shearer on MSN tonight and this what he had to say; Heron says: Alreet mate, hows it gannin? Big Al says: Aye canny, canny. u? Heron says: Aye alreet mate bit shit at work the day tho Big Al says: Ana, tell me boot it, really strugglin for a job @ the moment, no-ones gettin back to is lol Heron says: Just keep pluckin away m8 am sure yil get summit. Big Al says: I'd luv a job @ Newcastle like, despite aal this crap gannin on. Heron says: Wouldn't kna like it's not looking too good. Big Al says: Why aye man, it's alreet you plonker. I'd sort it oot. Heron says: Ah wey that's good enough for me. Big Al says: Stupid cunt. That convo was good enough for me like. He's deffo gunna be the gaffa.

Kazenga and Jonas on the wings would be good in my opinion. As long as we had two good battlers in central midfield.

Groovy, where are you sat/stood?

Since when do you "chew" ice cream?

Feeling the sense of pride in where you come from, along with all your fellow Geordies (or wherever you're from).

Dutch person; "Ah so you're from Sunderland, where's that?" SMB; "Ah it's in England, in the North" Dutch person; "You mean Newcastle?" SMB; "No, Sunderland" Dutch person; "Newcastle?" SMB; :-[

If I'm totally honest I don't believe that the majority of our players just couldn't be arsed. I just think they didn't have the confidence or determination to do better than they were. Players like Nolan, Butt, Owen, Viduka, Barton, etc, etc are all has beens- they've already had the best part of their careers. Now they either aren't fit enough or good enough to keep up with the pace or physical ability of modern day football. Our problem isn't just this - it's also that we appear to have a team pretty much full of people who have probably always had some degree of talent but no footballing brain. It's just the younger, hungry members of our squad who are worth playing because they have it all ahead of them and now is the time for their big break. The only player I actually exclude from this is Habib Beye. I think it's something that many people have just jumped on the bandwagon with - this whole "They couldn't be arsed" theory. They could be arsed but they weren't physically capable imo. The only people, as a result, to blame for the poor acquisition of players are those above playing level. Yes, the players have to take the brunt of the blame too because ultimately it's them who have cost us, but at the end of the day 11 individuals don't make a team - no matter how good they are, they need to be managed, and management and leadership is what we lacked all last season.

Spot on and I will put money on us getting more from other players too, thing is this will go from act now please, to right we are off. Who's going to negotiate their deals? If you believe the chat about nobody being left at St James' they'll be lumbered on their current contracts until we've a buyer and/or manager. Poor souls. Hence my point about some of them having a far more personal agenda than being seen as 'Shepherds'. Personal agenda or not these people are leading those who are too shy or too fragile. If they get fucked off I don't think the fans could care less as long as we see some form of moving forward as a unit. This was never about individuals, and it never will be. It's about Newcastle becoming United again. However, that can't happen until the sale of the club is complete - the only thing we as fans and the players have to cling onto is one another. So whether it's fat arse Nolan, Ginger git Butt or Sebastian Superstar Bassong is irrellevant, the fact the players are uniting is what's important.

Despite agreeing that Nolan has done fuck all for us I think that certain players are taking it upon themselves to lead the rest through this mess and I give them credit for that. We lack leadership at the moment and some of our players are becoming shepherds not sheep. This can only be for the better providing they continue to show this level of desire. Shearer may not be a master tactician but I think he's certaintly made players think twice about what they do at this club.

Mint. Trains are the way forward like. Up from where?

That wouldn't necessarily mean anything about Shola though. It's our midfield that our hideously shit.

Not yet. Just ordered them last Wednesday or something though. Ah, perhaps they've not been sent out yet then. On the usual timescale you'd have yours by now. Cheers. Aye. How are you geting down there?
