TK-421

11 years... Brilliant. I doubt Pistorious will even get that long!

Lee Charnley, managing director at Newcastle United, said: "We wanted to involve our supporters in the design and approval process for this kit and as such we presented a number of options to Fans Forum members. "We are delighted to unveil this kit, chosen by those members, which I am sure our players and fans will wear with pride." Charnley blaming the fans now!

As already said, massive to those involved. A well thought out, focused campaign, and its amazing it has gained so much momentum and publicity, in such a short time. Just hope it has the desired effect, and soon!

aye did , did your post say cockles and georges? Haha aye, bloody auto-correct on me phone before i edited it!!

Did anyone hear the first caller tonight, 'Sebastian' a 'born and bred toon fan' who lived in London all his life. Said that he felt Ashley and Pardew got a rougher ride because they were cockneys, and said Geordies doing similar would gave got easier time. Ended by saying we'lol probably end up with some 'muggy geordie' as next manager.... at which point, Steve Howay pulled him up. A clear wind up, but not sure why a London er would go to so much trouble. Maybe it was Mike Ashley himself??!!

Gutted to hear this last night, and the pics of him on twitter having lost his 'famous' flowing hair, were heartbreaking. Hopefully though, he has caught it, and the treatment will be successful, and he'll make a full and quick recovery. As far as the clubs lack of reaction to this, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Pardew mention this in tomorrows press conference, and try and deflect away from the planned protests with this news.

The mackems surviving last season probably hasn't helped with Ashleys thinking either, if the threat of relegation is a bearing. He might be thinking that regardless of how few points we gets these few months, that escape is still possible. They did have 'new manager bump' though, oh, and our numpty gifting them 6 points too.

Anderson had a full on rant with Pryde tonight, about the planned protests. Basically saying shouldn't happen during the match, should be before and after. What good will that do, when the target of the protests wouldn't be there before or afterwards??!!

Ashley is such a w*****. I bet he saw the game on Saturday, the post-match interview and thought to himself "they have got to him. He'll jump and save me 500k from my 1.5bn. This is brilliant. He might even cry on Saturday." Le Tissier was on T'S this morning and was asked about Saturdays match and the Pardew situation. Said he was in the boardroom after the match and Ashley was there, who he spoke to. Said he was "very friendly and gracious in defeat, but didn't seem like a man preparing to sack his manager". Let's hope he really is just hanging Pardew out to dry. Roll on Saturday!!!

I assume i'm allowed to post this, if not I will just delete it, from about 17 minutes in: http://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1410771600 Cheers for posting that. WOW... first time I've heard one of the media telling it like it is, and asking the pertinent questions... i.e. why does Ashley want the club, why does Pardew stay?

Players wages, agents fees, repainting the Gallowgate roof, installing the old gates, new bar, refurbishment/rename of 'Shearers' and those SD.com signs don't pay for themselves, you know!

No need to wait - Moyes is available... Exactly - and he didn't wait until he sacked Hughton to speak to Pardew, did he? Did someone on here not confirm that Pardew was in talks a while before Hughton was actually sacked? Would be Karma on the tw*t that someone is already being primed for his job this time. Also, as far as rumours of Bruce go, I can't see Ashley paying any club compensation for a manager, especially if he gonna have to sack and pay Pardew off as well. Any new appointment will probably be someone out of work, and available.

I keep forgetting about Marveaux... another alienated and isolated long before MYM and HBA.

That's the annoying thing. When we finished 5th, Pardew was given 2 manager of the year awards. However, when it turns to sh*t, the so called knowledgeable pundits and journo's support him and blame the players. If it's down to him when we do well, why not when we do badly?

Yep. It was on RTG last night. Speaking of Mackems, quite a few on Twitter last night calling NUFC fans 'embarrasing' and 'a disgrace' for chanting against Pardew during the game. Because they've never hounded a manager (or 3) out before.

I think (hope) he'll be gone along with the other stooges as part of the managerial clearout. However in the short-term, I expect the club will just fine him a weeks wage or some other sort of slap on the wrist, but only because its now been highlighted on SSN.

Aye, then he said he's lost 4-0 'a few times'. Its actually 6 times, and that's not including losing 0-5 at Spurs and 0-6 at home to Liverpool!

SSN... carver incident on now.

SSN now highlighting the poor record in 2014. Pressure building nicely, now.

Nah, its saturday... they wont announce anything (either way) until about 11pm. Standard procedure.

John Anderson finally starting to question Pardews comments (to BBC), about fans chanting affecting players. Ando finally growing a set??!!!

Pardew on BBC: "Fans chanting my name from the start affected our spirit" Fans to blame again, then.

Be interesting if the press started blurring out the SD.com logos when they took photos in/around the ground, and even not mentioning them anymore, and just referring to him as NUFC owner. See how he took to his precious baby not getting as much exposure in the press anymore.

Well the mortgage or whatever it was came to that. There was also about £20m outstanding on transfers i think, sure they were complaining about that early on. Edit: That may have been part of the £67m though I think you're right about some of the extra debt being owed from transfers, which was leaked just before the first January transfer window and used as the excuse why we brought nobody in then. The fact that this is how just about every club bought players and paid the fees in stages over the player's contract (and still do) and he is just about the only club owner that pays 100% up front eluded him. Definitely remember them whinging about something to do with fees owed. Like you say its standard footballing practice, one of the many things he didnt understand buying when us on a whim with no knowledgable person alongside him. The main whinge was about the Owen deal, which was apparently paid for with up-front sponsorship money from Northern Rock. Meaning we basically had no main sponsor income until the deal ran out, but it wasn't debt as such. Think Luque was another. They found out after he'd gone they still had (signifigant) money owed on him.

Passed the ground tonight.... It is 'NEWCASTLE UNITED'. Looks quite smart actually. Sorry no pics, was driving.
