Brilliant from the the new owners.

 

 

 

Whilst this is great let's not forget that they donate hundreds of thousands of pounds to the tories, whose policies have resulted in a 60 fold rise in the use of food banks since 2010.

Re Liverpool, that stat about us having won more trophies than Liverpool on the morning of the 74 Cup Final is so depressing like :lol:

 

Looked it up just now and Chronicle article says we were on 11 to their 10 before that final. 

 

"Before the fateful cup final kicked off, in terms of major honours, Newcastle United were actually more successful than Liverpool.

 

The Magpies had 11 trophies in the bag, while the Scousers had ten.

The four decades since then, of course, have seen the Reds amass an incredible array of silverware, while the Toon remain perennially potless."

Before the mid-1970s, Man Utd had also never won more domestic trophies than NUFC. Not once in the previous 100 years or so of their history had they been ahead of us in terms of domestic trophies won.

 

Man Utd before Matt Busby were, at best, a below average club. Which goes to show that one era in a club's history can propel a club onto a previously unimaginable level.

Anyone think the owners will be introduced on the pitch before the game tomorrow?

 

This Takeover is the most important event at our club in my lifetime, and as the Chairman is going to be here also for his first visit, then YES they should be, and will be, formally introduced.

 

It may be from the pitch, or it may be from standing up and waving from the Directors Box.

 

Either way . . . YES !!!

Woodgate is as thick as a castle wall and doesn't know his arse from his elbow. When he talks about the North East he assumes that attracting people to Tyneside is as difficult as it is for the hellhole that is his smoggie homeland. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Really.......I mean really.  Words just fail me.

 

Nothing can be celebrated for what it is - someone has to go but what about this then............Society has lost how to celebrate good things, it just wants to wallow in the bad!

Oh yeah, that's the problem with a society where 1% of the population hold a quarter of the wealth and 2.5m people need to use food banks to survive :anguish:

Woodgate played the best football of his career here and was very well received, so I don’t really understand why he’s so bitter about us. 

 

Not sure if he's bitter, or just thick as pig shit.  Rolled out for a few quid, 'here's what you've gotta say Johnny'.

He’s as thick as fuck, think all that powder in his younger playing days went to his already diminished/lack of brain cells, great defender when fit though. Easily could have been world-class.

Woodgate is indeed thick as fuck.

His nickname when he was here was "Village" - short for village idiot.

As a young kid, with no money (and my parents had very little) I had got to see a few matches during the winning Fairs Cup season, including 'Feyenoord' and 'Ujpest' (I couldn't get in to 'Rangers') but I could afford a Season Ticket standing in the Centre Paddock the next season, for £12.00.

 

I was immediately labelled as a "Glory Hunter" !!!!

Probably watched on as, having won the Champions League with one of the biggest clubs in the world, then played for Italy in the European Championships, Ravenelli signed for Middlesbrough a few months later that summer, joining, Brazilian international Juninho there.

 ffs its the only reason almost any of these players have ever come to England  its not for the weather ffs

Great to see the new ownership enjoying the sights.

 

Fucking can’t wait for tomorrow. We still have a shit manager, run down stadium and dated training ground, but the cause of all that is gone now. 
 

What a fucking future awaits, it’s going to be emotional tomorrow and if the rest of the country hates us so be it.

 

Fuck them Newcastle are back hello hello
