It's an absolute shambles that we still lie with defensive issues so close to the season start. If this is what Ashley meant by bolting the horse on, id hate to think what he would class as pony. i'll get me coat.

They won't bother with announcement. It'd just go quietly on the shelfs in mike's storea wonder what colour the shorts will be to match it? By the way, should we expect another members kit for the game on Saturday like in previous seasons? Personally id say the shorts will be the same colour blue as the shirt trim but with past history of Ashley including the yellow 'deck chaired' monstrosity, you could expect the shorts to be the same design as the top. Blue shorts with a white trim would be my guess. Arsenal's is the same template and their shorts are the colour of the trim, so it will more than likely be the same here. Im guessing it will be announced by next midweek like. http://i1.adis.ws/s/ArsenalAMP/t74802990_ms?$400x400$

When's this being announced?? http://g04.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1SwQQGXXXXXczaXXXq6xXFXXXg/2015-font-b-Newcastle-b-font-font-b-jersey-b-font-home-away-font-b-jersey.jpg

Not gonna sign him for my footy manager team mind. Wijnaldum I already did last year, so was surprised when we got him. http://fmscreenshots.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/0/0/800049/9764005_orig.png

After all this, you just know that Mbemba is either going to be shit or break his leg on his debut.

Absolutely this. [move] [/move]

Do people not believe the 'spin' that has been released by the club in order to sell season tickets like? This is going to be the line up. Krul Janmaat, Matip, Coloccini, Abdennour, Haidara Tiote, Sissoko, Colback Thauvin, Wijnaldim, Anita, Mitrovic, de Jong, Perez, Aarons Austin, Cisse

http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,93481.msg5037205.html#msg5037205 This I was told when chatting to a member of the first team squad. Suggested that both MYM and Gouffran were two peas out the same pod when it came to the description I used. Funnily I slated Pardew and was told in his opinion he was a 'brilliant' coach. That the players loved him. Without checking history or digging too deep, I can only presume the player in question as to being Blob Elliot. He seemed to have a bromance with Parsnip. Refering to him as anything other than a fraud and one of the worst managers in the club's history is just a delusional episode that is a warning sign that they need sectioned.

Hmmm. The same path of knowledge as most 'experts' on TV, so i'll buy that.

You heard? From who? Your neighbours dog? No because it cant speak.

I heard that his agent was in town to try and smoke out rival bids to the one we offered. Mitrovic apparently not being so keen. Time will tell but if we dont get him then the stall is set for price range.

Punch & Judy?

I'm sure he'd love to sign for Newcastle but sadly he isn't good enough. Still to those Dutch lads today on the tour he was a new player haha! Aye, I saw your tweets Craig and the interview. Aside from the 'tongue in cheek' nature of it, it's easy to fool a lot of our fans due to their mentality with their belief that after 8 years, Ashley will invest all of a sudden. We're knackered as a fanbase.

Mine is on sale and the 2 lads either side that I went with.

Coz that 'sit in' is still happening there.........

Was supposed to finish at the end of May then June 12th then the 19th. As it stands now, the official amount of spare seats for sale is unknown as the club wont release the details online and will just pretend it's busier than it is. Signings and plenty of decent ones, is the only thing that will sell tickets now.

The papers aren't even bothering to quote the author of the article now, that's how desperate they've got. As if a transfer is going to be like Homes Under The Hammer, with us offering 50 pence more than Southampton to win the auction. Homes Under The Hammer...are you suggesting we're after Dion Dublin? He's within budget and ticks all the boxes. #Free #Unattached #Shit #British #Under50 #HasAPulse

Interesting that I didn't renew but my seats show up on the official website as reserved/taken by me. There's also more seats available and I can bet anything that the number of 'available' will increase, every time one is sold because the club wont want to show the true 'available' figure.

German media linking Bas Dost with a move to Dortmund. If true then that one is dead in the water.

Chopey, if you have your old supporter number and are registered to log in on the tickets bit on the official website, you can choose season tickets that are available now. By my reckoning though, there will be more available than what is showing as it'll be mix of spin and shite to create a bit of panic.

Ultimately though, there's only one real decision to make and that centres around how a club makes you feel. The present day form of NUFC and a lot of other clubs with fans boycotting are doing so because they feel disattached. The theme that generally keeps occuring is he owner not meeting the footballing demands of the paying fan and still profiting themselves. A fan owned club is the future and with the rules not changing any time soon to bring us in line with the thriving German model, a new club will see us have internal warm thoughts first. Heck the way things are going, we could pass Shit Direct Utd in the league in a few years time

This is something ive long called for and is easy to do in theory. A club on the league ladder, in or around the city can be bought out and the name changed. A location for a ground that has building potential is also something to consider. Next and most importantly (or first depending on business plan), get a famous name eg Shearer, Keegan etc to form a consortium with their sole aim to provide a club that fits the criteria of the city of Newcastle. The motif or slogan for the club is already written in that we dont demand a team that wins but a club that tries. The higher up the league we go, the more the ground needs to expand with merchandise etc available from day one. The team name can be available to vote on from the start but will have to have Newcastle in it. Fan owned with yearly elections a must as well with rolling contracts for elected board members instead of long term deals
