Aye superb fans, second biggest average attendances in Europe after the Mancs I think. Love ESPN, had it since the start of the season. What's keegan like on it?? He seemed good to listen to on itv today.

Fiest things first, the Blaydon races is sung FAR too quickly. It should be sang like 'You'll never walk alone' , and 'Bluye Moon' when everybody can sing it at a slow pace, so eventually everybody can join in. AND it is san wrong. Instead of away we went alang collingwood street that's on the road to blaydon, we seem to think the first verse ends in the way the chorus does Also the atmosphere is sh**. My dad used to play rugby at novos (in longbenton, next to the ministry) and he said when newcastle scored or were singing all the rugby players would say oh thats the third goal or thats the fourth etc. This was the entertainer days. Fair enough the bowl shape may have played a part, but still....

Correct

Red numbers is what we need. Havn't won a trophy since we replaced the red number...coincidence? I really like the look of those two strips.

How the f*** do you work that out when someone like Geremi was the cornerstone of his team. Exactly. The liverpool game stands out to me, the organization was a shambles. Nobody on the right hand side all game. If it wasn't for Given we would ave lost 11 or 12-0. We didnt have a shot or corner all game!

We wouldn't have got relegated if we had Keegan for the whole 2008-09 season though...

Completley disagree. It needed to be done, his mistake was not sticking by Keegan.

On 606 sport all the Blackburn fans are turning on him, and loads of geordies are telling them 'we told you so' but ofcourse we're deluded and never give managers a chance!

I hate the man, would love to see Blackburn go down.

Peter Ramage anyone

I'd prefer sound reasoning rather than sentimental reasoning to be used in our approach to signing players. Where's the sentiment? "Just sign him up". Where's the reasoning? Colchester and Newcastle have turned down the chance to sign him on a free following trials. A club in Peru has said it isn't signing him. He's now on trial at Sheffield United. Solano has previously been playing in Peru and Greece since leaving West Ham. It doesn't exactly scream "sign him up now" does it? Why would we sign him if it wasn't for sentimental reasons? Perhaps he wanted too much in the form of wages, or too long a contract? I'm sure he'd happily say yes to us for 5k a week until May...

Sorry

sky? Its mismanagment of the clubs by the owners. Also, the moment Roman opened the pl for the super rich, who injected even more money, the natural balance between clubs was ruined. Premier leauge is now diagnosed with financial cancer, all know something is wrong, but no one have the remedie yet, and the weakest(most mismanaged) will die. Hope most clubs get the mess sorted out, but will they manage it in time? Yes Sky. From the minor things like changing kick off times stupidly late with no consideration of the fans. To creating the PL, whcih has now distanced itself from the football league. It was great to start off with and yes clubs have made money, but to stay in the PL (where the money is because of Sky) 'smaller' clubs like Pompey, Burnley etc will/have to overspend to stay in which they just can't do. Thus ruining clubs and creating a bigger void between the PL and the FL.

Eh?

I've been on here a few months and i can't start a topic. There isn't a poll starter or topic starter on the start up screen, only notify and mark read. Any help please?

Sky really have ruined football. There'll be a lot more like Pompey in the next 2-3 years

We'll be stopping at a pub before Birmingham, and when we get there it'll be the Royal Oak, about 10 minutes walk from the ground, its a sh*thole. There's a mcdonalds outside aswell

The bit in bold sums up my opinion as well. Was there only once sadly, but it was one of the best days of my life. It was last season vs. Bolton at home, last home game with Keegan in charge and despite not such a great performence it was absolutely fantastic. Really looking forward to going to SJP this year again. That game i loved aswell. It really annoys me that we no longer have Keegan. We were definitley going places...

What's Phil Brown doing there? ;D

Great post.

I really liked young Simpson to start with but after closely watching him the last few weeks i have gone off him completely. I know he's not Enrique but what Jose does so well is get past the winger and add to the attack-even if HE doesn't get the ball. Thats what good full backs do etc. Simpson never does this. He isn't the best defender in the world either, and i think it would be silly to buy him in January, because if and when we do get promoted i think it is a crucial position for us to get right, and i think we need to start planning more on better players.

Such a shame RIP

Two explanations i know.... One was there was an old catholic church near the ground and the monks used to wear black and white habits, and they used to play at SJP before football was played there. (I like that idea!) Or it is because black, red and white are the colours in in the city crest. The city crest used to be our old badge. (We havn't won owt since we changed that badge......conspiracy theory perhaps )

I was at a Bez talk in in June, and it was for a good two hours. A cracking night. Time of our Lives si enjoyable but you have to see him live. Some of the stories from the Toon team are hilarious! Like the Phillipe Albert one when he saw Sid the Sexist on the team bus!!!!!!! But Bez was saying when Daglsih came in he wanted to tear KK's team apart. He hated Ginola. Davvveeed was injured and was ready to come back from injury he had been training for a couple of weeks etc... Bez overheard Daglish saying to the Fitness Coach to 'fucking kill him'. Ginola back sweating terribly and red in the face (which was rare for him! But he had worked his socks off to be in the squad for the next game) he sat dwon next to Bez and Bez asked him how did you do? Ginola said i'm fine, no niggles etc... Daglish knew this and he read out the team sheet for the next day. Ginola wasn't even in the squad. He went crazy and shouted as he left the dressing room ' I will never play for Newcastle United again!' So Daglish ruined our Entertainers to be honest

ashley obviously doesn't like the local press as seen by giving interviews to the sunday times not once but twice to discuss newcastle, something ryder seemed pissed off about in his last blog Because he is a f****n cockney c**t
