Great news. Thanks for the updates!

What really narks them is that despite our relegation they're still stuck there, a nothing club just festering away in our shadow. We still get more media attention, we'll still get bigger crowds, we've still got a far higher profile manager, still signing better quality players than them and their latest signing is only joining them so him and his lass can move back to Newcastle. The only time they've had any attention from the rest of the country is because they knowingly allowed a paedophile to play for them. That's literally their claim to fame. Is it any reason they're so bitter?

Aye yer right. Terrible idea.

Picture of Rafa with Gamez and the slogan "Jesus and God" should be made into a flag.

Agree we should still be looking to upgrade Dummet. He looks absolutely petrified every time he has the ball at his feet.

Shouldn't accept a penny less than £30m for him now like. Make that £35m if they beat Portugal.

Brilliant effort

I take it you just completely ignored the lanes, the pavilion and the coastline when you were in and around Brighton then? Have you actually been there? The lanes are full of moody jewellry shops, the beach is a pebble beach meaning those in the NE are far better and the Pavillion is somewhere you'd only ever visit once, at most . If that's the best you can do then it says everything tbqh. A city centre needs to be functional and the lack of a proper department store renders Brighton second rate. Why would you travel to Brighton to go to a department store ffs. This is the sort of daft attitude my mam used to have when we went on holiday. In the middle of a beautiful market and she'd be scoping out the city for a Marksies, it's pointless, why are you even on holiday and what are you on holiday from? Don't think anyone goes on holiday to get away from Marksies mind.

They're only getting him because he knows he'll be able to live in Newcastle again. Fancy that being your main bargaining tool when it comes to signing players man!

Aye but Newcastle has the flagship store

Fenwick in Newcastle is quite possibly the best shop in the world man!

No wonder they were only getting 20 odd thousand crowds in that league!

Hope he's sh!te tbh. Having seen him play for us I think he will be. Decent going forward but hopeless defensively. His performance down at Arsenal has to go down as one of the worst individual defensive displays I've ever seen from a NUFC player, and he has some competition there!

Ritchie will torture him next season like.

Would rather we went after that Flint from Bristol City. Hanley looks like a decent championship standard centre half but nowt more.

Rafa out!!!

Went to Leeds on Sunday for the Rugby. Was quite impressed with the city centre.

Never been to Bristol but agree, Norwich is really nice.

Surely he'd make a good full back for any Championship side?

They nearly all did last time we were in that league. Pretty sure we went the entire season undefeated at home and other than the 3000 fans stuck high up in the singing corner the atmosphere wasn't even particularly good. What with this kicking off and the overall general feelgood factor this time round you'd expect it to be far better.

I was told the end of July when I went up to buy mine.

I picked Wearside Jack.

What a sight that was! Obviously that's not going to happen every week but it would be incredible if we could get something similar going for our first home game v Huddersfield.

It's easy to sit back and criticise from a distance. If it bothers people that much that they're not up to scratch they can sit down and have a go and see if they can do any better themselves. Certainly cheaper than paying experts to do it. Let's be honest here as well they're not pieces of expensive artwork bring displayed at a gallery. They're just there to add some colour to the extra noise that's hopefully going to be generated next season. It's not all that important. My point wasn't "oh I could do better", simply that I didn't like the designs like people have already mentioned. They don't have to be top of the range photoshop designs, but after taking 3k+ you'd expect that a half-decent graphic designer is going to be consulted and some simple, yet excellent banners/flags can be produced. No it's not expensive artwork going into a gallery but if you chucked some of your hard-earned money into this and the result was cheaply assembled tat which looked s***, we would be ridiculed and rightly so. I think after taking peoples money to a project it's important to make it look as great as it possibly can. Disagree. I think you're taking this way too seriously. It's flags at a football match man.
