My god Ian Dowie's ugly! The face only a mother could love. But yeah, great to see Al back at the club. Really warms the heart seeing the players looking happy and ditto Shearer! HOWAY THE LADS

Same!!

The worst is when we have the place swarming with chravas and spotty teenagers chanting a load of bollox, and of course with their mis-spelt banners.

You gonna have a w*** over him like? Na meet, ganna have a wank owa Sheeeeraaa!!

Apparently season ticket sales for the 3 year programme thingy have already started.

Same. One or two right eejits hanging around there.

You'll get some great ex-players that are shocking managers, but then you'll get some great ex-players who are top class managers. Simple as really.... You cant say EVERY good player will be a shit manager- it doesnt work like that. You'll get a mixture. But then again, some managers who weren't players, or who were shit players, can make for crap managers.

We should go along and boo, like at the games

Cant wait to see Llambias' smug cunt of a face!

Get the fuck in Keane!!!

Fucking brilliant news, like!! Brilliant. I cant wait for the press conference tomorrow.... As good as the recent news has been, I'm still not convinced by Ashley. I guess if he is still here in the summer, then he's gonna have to hire a good manager/or Shearer and back them with money.

Imo, I think we'll see at least 3 or 4 goals from Owen from now and end of season. Shearer know's what hes all about and imo, Owen'll thrive under his management!

Cant believe this is actually happening! Like a dream! Personally, Im delighted at Al's appointment. I think he'll give us leadership and direction! HOWAY THE LADS!!!

I've gone doon to a '6'!

I'll still post on here. am toon army till i die! fuk d makem scum!

Where is Xavi's hand ? Might be why capdavilla (i think thats him), is smiling so much. Nice shirt mind.

Remember when Dyer and Bowyer got in that scrap (cant forget it can you)? Well didn't Shearer give the two of them a roasting after the game? Apparently he (along with Souness) made them issue a public apology. Personally, I thought Shearer was always a great captain. He was a great ambassador for the club as well, imo. Alan always made sure he give his all, but also that the rest of his team-mates did- that's what you want from your skipper.

Agreed on both points. I love that Spain kit. The Sweeden one looks ace, as well.

Well as long as he's kept away from any sort of managerial-coaching position then I'm not fussed where he goes.

Ditto. Apparently he was coming on in leaps and bounds. Shame.

Aye, what Karjala said. There's no reason why we cant win our last 3 home games. We've got to... The more I think about Newcastle United and the situation we're in, the more I think we'll go down.

I wouldnt be surprised if this story had legs. You'd have to have some imagination to suddenly think of this story, imo. Plus, most stuff the papers have written about Ashley in the past have been correct, there's no saying this wont be any different. I pray this is BS, though.

An adult ticket for an Ajax match costs €16. What a fucking joke this country is...

THE value of Newcastle United will be slashed by half – from around £200million to £100million – if the club is relegated to the Championship. Now there are fears among the Toon army that desperate owner Mike Ashley, who is also having a torrid time with his sports retail business, could stun the football world by taking the famous North East club into administration. When he decided to sell up, amid the furore of Kevin Keegan’s abrupt departure in September, it was believed that the sportswear magnate was hoping for a huge profit on his £230m investment. There was talk that the multi-millionaire was looking for a figure in excess of £400m. Now, with the credit crunch having undermined the world’s economy, financial experts have placed a value of around £200m on a club fighting for its Premier League life. A drop into the Championship would wipe another £100m off the asking price leaving Ashley in a financial hole. He announced at the end of December that he had taken the club off the market but it is believed that privately he is very much open to offers. They have not been forthcoming and that has led to informed chatter in the financial world that Ashley has not ruled out the stark threat of administration. It would only be implemented as a last resort and not until Newcastle’s Premier League destiny is decided. To call in the Receiver now would mean a likely nine-point deduction and almost certain relegation, something Ashley would not welcome through his desire to sell. The threat, however, will hang over the Geordies during the summer months that they could start next season minus nine points unless Ashley can attract a buyer. A worried insider admitted: “We are looking at a Leeds United scenario. I don’t think people realise how serious things are at St James’ Park. Relegation would make it a complete disaster.” Neil Mitchell of the Newcastle United Supporters’ Club added: “NUSC have been made aware of the growing rumours of this catastrophic possibility over the last week and it’s now causing grave concern. "These really are becoming dark and grave times for all fans of Newcastle United.” To make matters worse it appears that Ashley has ignored advice from within the club to appoint a temporary boss, to help coaches Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood, who increasingly appear out of their depth. Terry Venables and the Alan Curbishley have been mentioned but Ashley is clinging to the hope that Joe Kinnear, despite undergoing a triple heart-bypass operation, will be back by the end of next month. That could be too late if Newcastle lose games against Chelsea and Stoke. It is not certain either that Kinnear will be given the all-clear by his specialist that would mean him being back before the end of the season. Ashley was last week accused by business rival and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan of stripping Newcastle of their dignity. The threat in the coming months is that Newcastle could be stripped of points. ------------------ :weep:

Ye I like it. Didnt at first but seeing it properly is different... As for our new home strip- I expect we'll be getting wiffs of it in the coming weeks- they normally release pictures of it around April.
