    As a total aside apropos of nothing - When Shields won the FA Amateur Cup in 1969 (I was there!!) at old Wembley, my dad was speaking to some of the players afterwards (our neighbour was Shields' Captain's sister) and he'd asked what they felt playing at Wembley, to a man they said it was awful and like playing on a cabbage patch and totally exhausting.

    I was living in Swindon in 1969 , and went to a few of their games. Including the League cup final against Arsenal at Wembley.

    The pitch was absolutely awful , more sand and mud than grass , they held the horse of the year show there shortly before.

    There are sure to be some videos on you-tube of the game ,

    I read that earlier. What does he expect the answer to be to the question he poses in his last par? Well, Jonathan. I for one am a big fan of torture and murder. 

    there is only one question Newcastle fans and football more generally needs to ask: how do you feel about torture and murder?

    I  was  all  in  favour  of  it

    But  now  he  is  gone  it's  not  needed

    You're conflating multiple different issues to try and justify this, it's embarrassing for the club for and should be an ethical problem for any none firestick fan.

     

    The fact the current Tory Government wont stand up to this family is no justification for getting directly in bed for them. The fact you disagree with the Government's relationship with Saudi says a lot doesn't it? Ethically it's pretty simple, we are going to be owned by a rotten individual who makes Mike Ashley look like a saint. If you are ignorant of all of this anyway and 'dont care about politics' then whatever but if you are someone who finds the Saudi family disgusting, condems their genocide in Yemen, the assassinations, treatment of women, gays etc then you should be disgusted at this and not at all impressed that the clubs history is now intertwined with the Saudi family. We are meant to celebrate arm in arm with people like that who you would otherwise find abhorrent? You can just look the other way when its people like this.

     

    At the very least, all those who were vocal criticizing Ashley's ethics with stuff like the price hike need to buckle themselves in for a long ride, unless you are a massive hypocrite you should be seething about some of the stuff this lot get up to.

     

    It's dark days and deeply embarassing.

     

     

    We must be getting a big club ,we are attracting new members already

  4. Took my boy there a few years ago  .All the home players came by car and had someone park for them far end of the Milburn,

    a few signed autographs. Every time I've been , the away players were signing by the main entrance after the game

    ,don't know where the Newcastle players came out.

     

     

     

     

  5. What a surprise though, Ashleys fave paper points out how skint we are and how much Colo is costing us just as the transfer window opens :D

     

    That's what i thought.

     

    But it is a ridiculous amount of money for a player most of us were hoping to see the back of in the summer

    even if he does look better in the 2nd division.

  6. supposedly alan smith has broken his cheek bone

     

    that's real bad news, he's a lot better than Butt

     

    We played a midfield of Pancrate wide right, Butt, Smith, Guthrie wide left

    played OK without looking dangerous

     

    If Lovenkrands & Jonas had been on earlier we may have nicked it

  7. Good result in the end but im dissapointed we sat back and didnt push on for more...anyway job done and some good performances.

     

    Will Smithy ever score? haha poor lad

     

     

    Never liked Smith , until this season where he has looked really good playing as a holding

    midfielder , far better than Butt.

    I really hope we can hang on to him .
