You'd hope if anything would make Mike Ashley want to improve us and try and make us win a trophy next season/soon... it would be Dave 'I Broke me leg, you know' Whelan's cup winning face all over after this.
Go on Mike, you cannot let him get one up on you.
Hoping that Wigan have an eye on the weekend (despite them not being expected to win the cup), and if they lose to Swansea tonight, and then lose the cup final, their players head might drop for their last 2 matches.
Just done the predictor thingy on the BBC sport website, and have us finishing 15th with 41 pts, with Sunderland 16th with 38 points, and Norwich 17th.
Wigan take the 18th spot.
God, I hope I'm right!!
Trying not to speak too soon, but lets hope Stoke can capitalise on the 10 men, and make sure of a result tonight.
Little Mikey must be itching to get on... for once!
Driving through Newcastle on Saturday morning, passed 'The Lodge', and see that 'Wee Phillie' knacker does a show there?
I believe its the same bloke who DJ's in that bar that used to be 'Maceys' back in the day, too.
Mackems working in Newcastle.... standard.
Its usually late afternoon when the outcomes of appeals are released *i think*.
Hopefully it might be deemed a frivolous appeal (as the last appeal they made was), and the ban is increased.
Not the whole back, but check out that link to the new Dortmund kit - theres a small panel behind the collar that black on theirs - you can see blue on the leaked NUFC shirt, so that same sized panel will be blue on ours.... I'm guessing.
The back will probably be like this seasons - large white panel with stripes below
Just found this too, which claims to be the 2013/14 Dortmund shirt, which appears to be the same (albeit not striped) template.
Note that small black panel on the back behind the collar... look at the leak of our shirt... I think its gonna be blue.

As we appear to be getting that striped panel at the neckline like Wolves new puma shirt does, I wonder if the new keeper kits will be like these, too...
