I keep switching between being 100% confident and then having horrible "it's definitely not happening, this is NUFC" thoughts.  Although the positive/optimistic thoughts massively outweigh the pangs of negativity.

When I'm feeling optimistic I tend to think that this is investment that the government/PL will want in to the North East and in to Newcastle United. I do think that there will be certain people within the PL who feel queasy about this deal at the end of the day money talks. Surely the best way to start to offer reform in countries like SA is to invite them in to the fold with certain expectations of them? Surely there will be some kind of conversation about proper TV rights and the need for SA to invest properly in terms of these rights? Realistically, other PL clubs can not influence this - the legal challenge would be huge. If they cannot link any of our new directors to anything within the test, coupled with the financial potential for the league, I really do not see this not being approved. It's a hugely complex deal and will take time especially in the current climate.

On a personal footing I am 27 and my main memories of NUFC are Mike Ashley. I vaguely remember the Champions League nights with my old man. I vaguely remember going to Cardiff in 2005 for the semi final and I vaguely remember the likes of Rob Lee and Gary Speed. Sadly, I vividly remember being at Hull when Pardew headbutted Myler. I vividly remember being on the bus to West Brom when the news of Kinnear having a heart attack came through. I vividly remember two relegations and the horrific treatment of people like Shearer, Hughton and Rafa.

My partner is pregnant and we are due our first child in 7 weeks time. I want to be able to bring our child up to support a football team they are proud of. I want them to be excited to go to the match. I want them to pester me for the new kits as soon as they come out and I want them to lie under NUFC bed covers dreaming of playing for NUFC. I want them to clutch my hand walking up the stadium steps and as Bobby said, fall in love without being able to do a thing about it.

I don't for one second condone what SA are or what they do or have done but I want my football club back and this is the biggest ever opportunity we'll have to do that. Please let it happen.

The same Steve McLaren who was sacked from the Derby job three weeks before he took the NUFC job? Nice of Derby to make it so easy for us and pay his contract up rather than ask for compensation ?

Whether you trust Samuel, Douglas or whoever... Deep down we probably all know which story will turn out to be true

 

Got nothing to do with trust just look at the documentation submitted and signed by both parties. Never got anywhere near this stage and again read the tweet from @RedRoseMichelle as it sums it up pretty well what is actually happening.

 

She is only guessing though at which stage it might be and what might be happening isn’t she ?

 

An educated guess don’t get me wrong but still guess work

It's a much more educated guess than that of Martin Samuel's.

Does anybody have a ST number I could use to purchase a further ticket for the Checkatrade trophy? PM me if so, would be much appreciated!

cheers bud £15 on.

messi?

Can't believe there are still people doubting his ability and what he contributes to the team.

Rob Elliot near Gotham Town yesterday with his missus.

He's got his qualities, but I don't think we should settle for him as our main man into the future and build a team around him. His all round game isn't good enough for where we're hoping to go and we should try to bring in someone better. If that means trading him in, then so be it.

Disagree. Build the team around him as your goal scorer and he'll score given the correct service.

6 in his last 10 games. Thought he was exceptional last night. Desire to win was second to none, just have to learn to put up with him being offside occasionally.

4 million pounds

Class footballer and seems a good guy. Hopefully things sort themselves out and he stays beyond the summer.

Get stuck right into them from the first minute. 2-2, Cisse brace for us

Brilliant interview hope thats the first of a few for him

ppl who doesnt put Jonas in thier line up  :idiot2: . this is not fantasy league try to put realistic side.

Why? What exactly has the Jonas of late offered?

YESSSSSSSSSSS

Na he can f*** off.

heard tonight at work that colo has got some local lass pregnant and hence the reason why his wife has taken off back to argentina

probably bollox like 

Tbf to the lad he's better than sitting on the bench for us. He would start for about half the teams in this league. He's a pretty good defender.

He isn't. He's a horrific defender and shouldn't be playing for us.

Pointless all this. A spectacular goal doesn't get you anymore points than one that hits you and goes in. The old Carroll knows where the goal is, end of.

BTW, I don't think he will sign.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

 

No worries about style of play or squad harmony?

Not really. As long Carroll wants to come back and is committed then I don't see any issues. To play far more games next season and to only have one style of football would be foolish. He'd be a good addition.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

"scores with his"

We signed the lad from Germany,

Cisse Cisse

13 goals in 12 games,

Cisse Cisse

He scores with his left, he scores with his right, thanks to the mackems who paid for his flight,

Papiss Cisse,

Newcastles number 9!!

He doesn't play on the left or right like.
