Nah, previously it only went to the runners-up if they lost to a top 4 team as winning the cup took precedence over finishing in a Europa League spot in the league, so the cup spot went to the winners and the league spot dropped down a place. However, that article seems to suggest otherwise. We covered all this on the last few page man.

Is Raylor definitely out of this?

Demba Ba ‏ @dembabafoot Funny city is newcastle. In august it's raining like crazy and in march it's summer. Viva newcastle

Collymore on Twitter comparing Bilbao to us and Barca, saying we're regional clubs rather than just city clubs, mentions Geordie nation. Mackems will no doubt enjoy that. Dan Reilly ‏ @dreilly18 @StanCollymore How do Newcastle represent the region you twat?! Sunderland finished above them 3 seasons in a row! #safc #topdogs #northeast :lol:

17,000 Newcastle fans in London 25 years ago? That can't be true, we only started in '92 according to them down the road.

Joey Barton vs Squatters Some of his Twitter outbursts are still funny, usually the ones where football doesn't come into the equation.

Basically called us a small club, and Liverpool a special club. Cunt.

Gutted, although their goal was coming. Van Persie should be ashamed of himself, acting like that towards one of his younger fellow internationals, silly cunt.

Fucking brilliant! :lol:

Did they actually manage to smash the SD window?

Most high pitched protest ever.

Aye, some of the old retros look good, but there's something a bit.. 'off' with this and the '96 one.

Also, does the operating loss take the player trading into account? I assume not and this is reinforced by them referring to transfer spend as 'net cash spend', the key word being cash. But, if that's the case, why is it an operating loss after amortisation?

So if I've got this right... we've made £5m from player trading over those 12 months, this includes the £35m we sold Carroll for. That equates to £30m+ spending, but this will include fees from past transfers. So, for example, there'll have been a -£2.5m on the accounts for the transfer of Coloccini (approx £10m on a four year contract). Yes? £30m still seems massive like, especially when you consider we've hardly been prolific in the transfer market in recent times; any idea where it's all come from, anyone?

Also is the £3.9m loss before or after player trading. I was under the impression player trading wasn't taking into account for these results, but this seems to suggest otherwise: In which case, how have we managed to spend £30m+ in this period on transfers?

I know it'll have be done before, but can someone describe what amortisation is, and also how it effects these accounts.
