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

Completely right. I was at the game on Saturday, and the last 3 games have shown how incapable he is. 1 goal in 3 games!!!!! Our best attacking player on Saturday was bloody Enrique! Hughton say no!

i thought he was nowhere to be seen, especially in the first half. He is sh**e to be fair. His channels of running are wrong he cannot finish for sh** he is very inefective as a striker, don't get me started as a winger! And rememebr he wasn't even commited when we went down, he was looking for other teams, when they realised he was pi** poor they didn't sign him...

I have programmes starting in 2001 all the way to now. I'm only 16, so thats pretty good going Some of them are signed. I have an England vs Australia RWC 2007 quater final programme. Loads of tickets. I just collect programmes and tickets really, and when i was younger my dad used to write the socre on the back of Metro tickets. All hold a story.

Does anyone if these were the actual words spoken by Dennis. I am intrigued by the use of the phrase "I believe" and the word "probably". Why would he use those if not to try and discredit, or maybe even goad, Kevin further because those arent definite answers? yep correct quotes. he said it on SS after Chelski game

Add into that 85% of shirt sales from the replica SBR shirts aswell

SILENCE IS GOLDEN! I am delighted for KK, a man of honour and principle - still! He hasn't spoken a word about this whole rotten saga until now, and rightly so, despite the slagging off which he was receiving from press and fans who didn't want to look deep enough into what happened and how he was treated. Just think about this. KK left England, saying he wasn't good enough. Compare that to Steve McLaren, who refused to go despite England becoming a laughing stock, failing to qualify for Euro 2008. Of course he stayed knowing he would be sacked, and he would have his very large contract paid up. Thinks about how much Newcastle have paid, or perhaps still are paying to t***ts like Souness and Allardyce, who got the sack because they were nowhere near good enough for this club, and still had their contracts paid up. Robbers! So, IMO, I think Keegan deserves his £2M, and really should have had the £9M or whatever his full contract was. Ashley, the lying Cockney and his lying Cockney mates are a bunch of crooks who have shafted Keegan, shafted the fans, and have dragged this club to the bottom of the pits. If they had treated Keegan properly, and respected the man and his abilities, particularly in the transfer market, where we would be now?

This, but i would dearly love him back. Look at his track record in this league...

At the endof the day this shows how poorly managed and ran the club is. I had always backed Keegan over Ashley and Co since the day he left. He is a man of principle and always has been. Thats what we love about the man. How can anyone still have a go at KK? He left Nufc first time around over principle- abou the floatation of the club, and he lost his passion and motivation. Fair enough. Hall wanted to give him a 10 year contract for christs sake. He left Fulham for England- Who wouldn't? Leaves England beacuse he hods his hands up and admits he can't do the job. Ulike that tw** McLaren who will still be taking millions off the F.A for being sacked. Leaves City for similair reasons to us first time around. Furthermore, we are still paying the likes of Fat Sam and Souness money for being sacked for doing a s**t job, who don't care about the club. Allardyce will be getting around 7-8 Million, so why shouldn't KK claim for money? He wnated us fans to know the truth and we got it. Thanks KK for the memories.

Probably, but can't be ars*d to check. That attendance was in May the last game of the season...Sunderland were presented with the trophy so loads of SMB's came back to see them lift the trophy. So far this season our average home league attendacne is 40600

NUFC are only giving out 15% of the oney to the SBR foundation from the new replica shirts on sale. Fat stingey bast***d

EXACTLY MATE! Leave KK alone ffs man. We were really going places under him.

Precisely why Hughton is shite at tactics and subs etc. I would love to know his motivation techniques!

could have been 10-0. have we even had a shot on target???

Positive orgones. PEEP SHOW man are we???

Same but i'm quietly confident

It should be a sell out...derby ahem. Near christmas so people will be in the spirit. We will be top of the league at christmas for the 1st time since 2001!!! When we beat Leeds 4-3, Boro 3-0 and Arsenal 3-1. Good days!!!

Yep, completely agree. Hughton really p***ed me of on Saturday with his sibs. Not who came on, they were the right players...the people he kept on/ took off annoyed me!!!
