  1. We've had a bit of gloom recently but the way things are working out, we could be promoted on the same weekend that the tramps get officially binned. Maybe even the same time on the Saturday if we have to rely on the Huddersfield game. The weekend of our Cardiff away game.
  2. I reckon it's because they open the doors at the back of the stands to get out at a point in the 2nd half. Usually you get a few wander in that support us so this was always going to happen one day. he was defo a Leeds fan and the banter turned to hate as soon as he started beating his chest and saying some sort of chant. Loads across the front of the Gallowgate tried to get at him but the dozen in the corner did as he was dragged through the meat curtain. What was a surprise in this age of security was that it took ages for a steward to bother their arse and there was no coppers to be seen anywhere.
  3. Out of curiosity what positive was there to take from Perez today? He ran around a bit faster than usual and made a couple of tackles. Just seemed more up for it.
  4. If I remember rightly, last year's 'leak' by the same website was close but the collar was the wrong colour with there being more gold than there was. I also reckon the puma cat is white.
  5. I reckon he will as well but a one off game is more of my thinking as an experiment if anything is a dead rubber. FWIW the tactics he uses now will be here until he leaves and will start to bear fruit next season with the right signings.
  6. Ive also been to every home game under Rafa and see his tactics as gaining control first before going on to a plan B of an attempted increase of tempo. With his pedigree of being in every scenario going, he wont drop his arse and I expect nowt to change from now until any promotion is secured. What is interesting then is if he'll go 2 up top to placate the shoe wavers if we're in a position of having a title wrapped up.

    That account article was decent but it isn't taking into account the massive increase in media money alone in relation to future income if we do go up. I agree the last relegation took around 5 years to get over but id say the next 2 years would be a fairer reflection of recovery time this time round and that's not including the fact that we can easily change the policy of spending in dribs and drabs rather than cash up front or breaking the habit of a lifetime under Ashley and using an overdraft to accumulate. It's not all doom and gloom aside from one man making it seem that way.
  8. If anything, SD's logo will be on the sleeves as it's allowed from next season.* *If we go up

    Wonder if the Chinese links could be because Shite Direct want a deal with these. http://www.361europe.com/

    To think, Ranieri is crying out for a job in England and would be the closest theyd get to a messiah to cling on to. Hardly think about these now anyway, never mind their obvious struggle for mid table next year in the Sky Bet league.
  11. There was around 20 turnstyles. I used to go in the corner as a bairn in number 7 or 8 but sometimes if it was chocka we'd go in the middle block of 4. Im sure there was another big block in the West Gallowgate as well plus just around the corner beside the old West stand there was a little block.
  12. The league standard is a mile away from the premier but people forget that our squad is designed to tackle the championship so will resemble a championship team in it's quest. Barring a disaster, next season's football in the premier league will be played with the exact same formation, the same tactics but I guarantee that we'll get more plaudits.
  13. Wey ive officially upgraded me score. Im hovering over the 7.

    Yeap. Newcastle United Limited got the £33m funding from SJP Holdings Ltd. But Newcastle United Football Club Limited has a number of charges against property. To me it sounds like we were a homebase one day but opened up the next as B + Q or am I reading this wrong?

    The way things are going and moreso after Trump ordered that bombing in Syria, we wont be looking up at the strange plane noise above any football ground but running for the hills. :frantic:
  16. Rafa is going to be asked about Summer signings in a few minutes but everyone knows the drill now. He'll say all his focus is on the next game only. It's also well documented that Rafa hasn't met Ashley yet and the expected meeting wont be done until the season end so The Sun story is the usual 'guess' work.

    This could work..... [move][/move]
  18. It makes more noise than the Leazes End tbf. Ive not been since that European game so apologise for my complete knowledge but if what you say is true then the Leazes end need shaken up somehow.

    We need promotion badly according to this. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/annual-accounts
  20. The platinum club is everything that's wrong with football. Once went there for the Atromonis (or whatever they're called) Europa Cup game the other year just so we had access to the bar as the rules stated that the others were closed and was the only reason. The area was like a park bench by a lake where the odd noise of a duck quacking spoilt what could have been a decent spot. I spent more time trying to stop myself kicking off with the tut brigade who are so against anyone trying to support the team properly.
  21. Nope Why "nope"? Sky Sports are showing that there has been a precedent in this, where England ladies had to go down this route. It just wouldn't happen, it wouldn't even happen if it had been awarded against Chelsea. Keith Downie off Sky said it was in the laws of the game to be able to force a replay and because of the amount of cash difference there is between this league and the Premier, you just know that the full legal route will have been examined by Messrs Ashley and co. Luckily for everyone concerned, the right result panned out and little damage done in theory.
  22. Would have been a replay starting with a retaken pen if we hadn't won this like. There would have been hell on.

    So no-one likes the plane idea but they've raised a canny bit. So who's donating then? If it's the 'shoes off' brigade then they'd raise more by not buying the aforementioned feet garments and using that cash instead. FWIW, as long as this is done in the first 15 minutes of a game before they go 2 or 3 down then it will be job done.
  24. Bar 1892 is in the Leazes stand right? I thought that was the sports bar. Is the 1892 bit not just below the platinum club?
