I too want to know this.

I think that the fact Northumberland Street has signs all a long it with 'St James' Park' written on it more than makes up for what SKY is doing.

Well, no they haven't. 'Rangers' were an SPL club who are undergoing liquidation. Their place in the SPL has been taken by another team as they were unable to fulfil their fixtures. 'Sevco' are a new club who have been accepted into the SFL in division 3 like any other new club applying to play in the SFL. They can't play in europe because they don't have the required 3 years of accounts. They haven't been relegated. 'Rangers' were fined but that fine will never be paid and any prize money they were due will go towards paying their creditors. But that's rubbish. Football is more than just legal entities. It is not another team, it is still Rangers, it still has the manager, the fans, the badge, the history. Saying it is another team is rubbish. I don't accept that at all. If the company 'Newcastle United' went under, the club would still exist. A football club is an idea and a culture created by the fans, Sir Bobby understood this. This is why fans should own their own football clubs.

I think what has happened to Rangers is very unfair. If Mike Ashley had been doing some illegal shit and we ended up getting regulated to god knows what league with uncertainty of our history and almost all our players, I'd be certainly pissed off and I'm sure most of you would to. I think regulation should only happen due to footballing performance, not due to anything else. Rangers have already had their european place taken off them, prize money deducted, fined, lost most of their players for nothing and regulated to division 3 and also agreed to a transfer embargo. What more punishment do people want? Football is about football at the most fundamental level, and Rangers is a massive footballing institution in Scotland. Their fans do not deserve this.

He could have at least gone to Waitrose!

Ben Arfa was in Tesco in Jesmond today. My mate got his autograph. What is with that guy? Tesco and Primark

Why not? I think the red goes well with the black and white. What I want is the badge sewn on properly and not with the crap white border...

He's not a brummie, he's from Solihull! Weird news this, I used to be friends with his nephew when I was a kid. He used to take him to school in a different fancy car every day.

Is there a student discount on home tickets? I want to go to the Villa game for my birthday.

Along the same lines as a few people who have already posted, I really wish Greggs would buy the sponsorship. I wouldn't mind the Greggs brand on the shirt and it is one of the few national 'Newcastle' brands that are left. They could also open a greggs in the stadium? I'm not sure if there is one already as I haven't been for a while but I'm pretty sure no one would have hard feelings against the company. However, I don't think they make enough money to afford £10,000,000 a year. It's a sad state of affairs.

this is fucking stressful

Hate the commercialisation of football so so much.

It's actually 'The City is Ours, Fuck off Small Heath' about Birmingham City This is amusing. I find it hard to believe that Newcastle is appearing as a beacon of stability at this point. Great that all my friends are Birmingham City and Villa fans.

As much as I hate Shola, I love Shola.

Some guy on Facebook seems to reckon he saw and shook hands with Andy Carroll last night on the toon. EDIT: In Floritas.

I don't mind that collar. Much better than this season's monstrosity.

As do I. Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

Yeah, it's perfect apart from the back panel.

Anyone noticed we don't show up here? http://www.pumafootball.com/teams/

This is one of the greatest ideas I've heard in a long time. As long as it looks good, I'll be buying it!

I hope that is true, but I doubt it.
