Yup, AJ Hudson's is where Newcastle fans go, but Cleo's or The Globe (Arsenal/Villa bar mainly) are also good. A newer one is The Albion Manor but imo it kind of sucks.
I was at the training before one of the games. A bunch of players were lining up and signing things but I didn't have the heart to take away my flag when Ferguson came to sign it
There's not really a mid-tabke right now anyway. Fulham and Chelsea are it for now, I'm sure they will change in a few weeks but who knows this season.
