English fans need more flags/banners/etc.

I have a strange memory of watching us vs Blackburn away in the league cup on a little television in some nondescript room inside SJP when I was about 7/8. Saha scored for us. Were beam-backs like this normal before the age of illegal foreign internet streams?

It's ridiculous how good City's attack is yet how conservative Mancini is. 3 defensive midfielders in the prem!

Dzeko number 2

Impossible. As the mackems will tell you, we had no support before '92!

Fabio Zambrela is with the youth team at this tournament in Italy, not as a player but as an interpreter. http://www.viareggiocup.com/squadre-63a/282-newcastle.html?codice=NEWCASTLE Does he still have a contract with us? Doesn't seem to be listed on .co.uk

Why the early kick off in this Liverpool match?

Leon Best's won mask wars then.

I can remember that being on TV. In the bright blue kit? Pearce got the other iirc. Aye after a bit research that's the one, that shiny blue kit man! I had the full kit when i was a little'un. Aye same, I had that one and the equally awful effort before it. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/images/newcastle_united_1997-1998-change.gif Think they were my first two toon kits apart from the Asics bluestar one I had when I was too young to understand.

Pro Evo legend.

Juventus friendly; Hamman scored an absolute screamer, might of been his first game. That's about all I remember.

(I realize you're on about the NUFC kits, but it's about time for a new other team kits thread as well. ) Some kits to start us off: http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/Manchester_United_1112_nike_leaked_small.jpg http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/Arsenal_1112_nike_leaked.jpg They look like something made in the PES kit editor, especially the Arsenal one.

Also another note, stability is also key and this is normally another thing local players bring. Look at Man Utd, after a brief skim of their squad they have only Brown and Scholes Manchester born. However they have players like Giggs, Ferdninand, Fletcher, Rooney, O'Shea etc who have been there for a good while, and of course a stable management situation. So in short you don't necessarily need local players but, stability and players who care; it's just that more often than not local players provide both of these.

Out for 3 months.

It's not local players as such that you need, it's players who actually care about the club, who see them as more than an employer. However, as expected it is usually local players who've grown up with the club which provide you this; obviously this isn't always the case, Barton and Nolan being two good examples of players who really care about Newcastle United and understand what the club is all about.

One of my biggest regrets was missing Shearer's testimonial.

Boyzone concert with his boss. Kenny's obviously had to take over Nolans babysitting duties.

I've said in the past I wouldn't really want European qualification but had a change of heart over the past couple weeks. Would love a Glenn Roeder style march on 7th place as the season closes. That season was great; pipping Fat Sam at the post in the race for Europe courtesy of a Shambles volley v Chelsea on the last day.

Urgh.
