cubaricho Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 But followers of the perennially mediocre team are simply enjoying the ride. "How good are we? I really don't know yet," said Pardew. "But the evidence is we have evolved. Our players may not have the greatest reputations, but …the gap between us and the top sides is closing."- :aww: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Would love to know the reason behind seahorses. Also, the red and blue flag? Could be obvious reasons behind it but genuinely have no idea about either. Love our badge, like. Nice little piece that, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The city's crest has them on I believe. With the current crest being a derivation of that. http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1251457380613&id=6bc1d9e3f2d8c02b54dcfabc8111ed91 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Udinese, Rennes and Atlético and Celtic have sued Sion in front of the CAS, to oppose their petition that the results in their EL group are voided and replayed with Sion in it.

In other stuff, anyone see Paul Rachubka's 'goalkeeping' in the game between Leeds and Blackpool where Blackpool won 5-0? Possibly the worst goalkeeping performance I've ever seen there was a game earlier in the season that would rival it. struggling to remember, was on tv, keeper kept spilling it...il try and remember chelsea v bolton?

Could be obvious reasons behind it but genuinely have no idea about either. Love our badge, like. Nice little piece that, too. http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Club/History/ClubCrest NEWCASTLE United's badge is modelled on the City coat-of-arms. The two sea-horses represents Tyneside's strong connection with the sea, while the castle links with the city's Norman keep. The flag is similar to the City crest, a version of the cross of St. George and the shield signifies the club's black'n'white striped shirt. The present crest of Newcastle United was first used for season 1988-89 after the club had occasionally used the City of Newcastle upon Tyne coat-of-arms during their history, specifically for FA Cup finals. During the mid 1970s decade and following 1980s era, the Magpies used two different badges of a modern design on their famous shirt, then produced a new crest. http://www.footybadges.co.uk/Newcastle_United_football_badges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busquets is a great player, people let his gamesmanship (that he has cut a lot so far this season) influence his opinion on him. I love winding up Barça plastics myself. The other day I met a guy from China who said that loved us and me and a friend were taking the p*ss making up names of Barça players and having him agree on how great they were.

Beren Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Quite an enjoyable read on overseas Newcastle fans. http://blogs.soccernet.com/newcastleunited/archives/2011/11/more_and_more_we_are_1.php This bit in the comments section tickled me too. I love my Newcastle story! At a college party my sophomore year, the keg was kicked so we raided the fridge and found a few Newcastle Brown Ales. We went out back and enjoyed the brews. The next morning I looked up this magical drink, and during my search, I came across NUFC. I thought, "Holy cow! There's a soccer team named after a beer!" I eventually figured out the truth, but after finding out about how diehard the fans are, I knew this was the club for me. My first NUFC jersey was bought in Bermuda for cheap just after they were relegated. That was disappointing, the team I choose drops off just two years later. The upside was most matches being on ESPN3 so I got to know the players and the team. Now that they're back and doing well, I'm glad I stuck with them. I have grown to hate Ashley, and love that even at away matches, the Toon Army is loudest. I thought the stolen beer was karma when they dropped, but this was all meant to be.
