Last time the mackems got to a league cup final they were relegated alongside their opponents, Norwich. Think they'll both go again.

They're not good enough. It's really between the Mackems, Cardiff and Norwich who will stop up.

Oh dear, Fulham.

South of the water, fuck that. (sniff).

Average Arsenal getting beat by even 'averager' Newcastle United at Highbury watched by an amazing 17,000 supporters* in the first division. *Football wasn't as popular amongst the chattering classes of Islington back then and they hadn't competed for the title for a few years at this point.

RIP

Was going to but they've obviously looked into more than I have, plus most won't be put off by it and will already have ipads, iphones etc.

Exactly.

No interest at all in a 'tablet' to be honest. Plus you'll be telling me to buy a 'manbag' to carry it in, next.

I once witnessed a lad buy a mince pie and a bun. He then proceeded to empty the mince into a carton which he binned and then put the pastry with a bit of the gravy and traces of mince clinging to it into the bun whilst I watched him and then he ate the 'pastry butty'.

De right one.

Probably a costs thing I'd suppose.

Luuk De Jong has a brochure out as well with some highlights of his time at NUFC featuring in it...... ....De Jong on the pitch, good stuff. .....De Jong on the pitch showing his versatility by playing in the rain. ......De Jong carefully approaching a football in order not to frighten it. .....Sportingly shielding Chelsea football star Oscar from any autograph hunters. ......De Jong competing in the 100 metres hurdles at the NUFC annual athletics tournament.

Will they, though? Some won't want to cancel because they don't want to pay more if things change, (Ha!), and some will just continue to go because it's what they do on a weekend, have a few drinks with their mates then go and sit on a plastic seat and not utter a peep all game in sullen silence.

Not at work I can't.

Pretty sure there was an early John Hall interview in the Sunday Sun just after he sold it to Ashley where he suggests the motive for the buy was to use as a vehicle for his sports clothing company and that seems the most likely to me. Newcastle United Football Club are now just sportsdirect's advertising tool.

Anyone know anything about reading magazines digitally? As TF has gone 100% digital it seems the only way to get it is either on apple stuff like ipads of which I don't have, (but the wife does), or some android app called 'exactly'. I read a review of the app and it was slaughtered. The TF subscription is now cheaper which is great but how the fuck do you get to read it at work for example? Fucking technology has a lot to answer for.

He's not little.

If your local pizza/kebab shop floats on the stock exchange I WILL be investing.

Benfica beating Juventus 1-0. 20 mins in and already a far better game to watch than the shit Mourinho and his cheats dished up the other night.

Thought I'd put this in here although it probably deserves it's own thread. This is what Newcastle United is about, something the likes of our owner and his paid lackeys, (including our manager), seem content to erode with their defeatist rhetoric and actions.

He'll be wearing a pink carnation. No pressure.

Get yourself booked in!
