Not 100% sure mate I always thought your bank card had to match your current address same as a driving licence

http://www.themag.co.uk/2017/03/daryl-murphy-calf-injury-confirmed-scan-newcastle-united/ This could be a big blow to us with Gayle not yet up to speed & Murphy the preferred option over Mitrovic let's hope the scan doesn't show reveal anything serious.

"Bite me once shame on you bite me twice shame on me" All the bother he had at Liverpool was over transfers & how much control he had over them. If he's come here & as we've been lead to believe he has complete control then to find that he hasn't, will he or does he need to go through that again. When he knows other clubs are interested in him (West Ham, Arsena,l etc) & would give him complete control & certainly in the case of Arsenal a huge transfer budget. It all depends on wether Rafa now trusts Ashley . He's not Pardew & I wouldn't expect a long drawn out fight

Can someone set up a poll for this please. Providing we finish 1st or 2nd we have 8 games left with Rafa in charge (yes I know he's supposed to be on a 3 year contract) but we know football contracts mean bugger all these days. Also we have suspicions that Rafa's contract may well have been fractured given Ashley's interference in January. I can hear people now, saying "hang on Trooper" & all that but it really is "the elephant in the room" we know that Rafa gave Charnley a list of players in October for the January window . As the month wore on it was becoming obvious that we weren't signing anyone. Then just as the window was closing it looked like Rafa seemed confident about "signing one" (Townsend) After the 3-0 thrashing by Oxford in the league cup & the presser before the QPR match Rafa was asked "why there were know signings" he was made to look like a guy who wasn't in the loop & I felt embarrassed for him when he said "he didn't know" the QPR match finished 2-2 & I remember Rafa looking furious on the touchline during the match he kept saying things to his coaches I imagined it being "if only we'd signed Townsend" I can't help think that the water between Ashley/ Charnley & Rafa has been sullied I can't help think Rafa has decided to see this season out hopefully get promotion then call it a draw knowing Keegan was right when he said " You can't work with these people they know nothing about football" I suppose we'll know in a few weeks but if Rafa does decide to leave, the blame should land on Ashley's shoulders & every single Newcastle United supporter no matter were they are should make it known how you feel. I'm ready for the bed wetter backlash but I feel it's a fair question to be asked & it requires an answer sooner rather than later. Now over to you lot what do you think ?

Cheers Ant

I rember reading a story in Classic Rock by Brian Johnson saying Chuck Berry was his a musical hero. He said he met him once & asked for his autograph. Berry replied " No I've already signed one today" Johnson said it put him right off him.

It's to be expected people are nervous & will probably be like this until we're mathematically sure of promotion we deservedly carried the luck this weekend. We haven't exactly pissed the league yet but we're in a good position. The nerves are probably fear of what would happen if we don't get automatic promotion & have to stay down here for another season. Despite our position I haven't enjoyed this season I doubt I'm alone. Just a few more short weeks of this season will hopefully see us back were we belong. Then hopefully Rafa will be allowed to build the team HE wants.

The gift that keeps on giving needless free kicks away

Oops could be an onion skin game now

It looks like the wallpaper from the early days of wikileaks has been pulled from the Internet does anyone remember it it was a store room with shelves there were boxes & files one box had an apollo mission badge on it (apollo 11 ?) There was a file labeled JFK the ark of the covenant was there a picture of nixon, bildberg I wish I'd saved it now .

I'm waiting for them to open the vault with the Apollo stuff in.

Hope we give them a good Bruming

Hopefully we'll give them a good Bruming

All eyes on 'Uddersfield tonight.

Key points from Rafa's presser - Ciaran Clark is missing with a knee injury tomorrow but Paul Dummett is fit to play - Rafa says last week’s Fulham defeat was a wake-up call after a run of good performances - Benitez is keen to put things right and says the beauty of the Championship is the number of games available to do so - Rafa is keen for his players to remain confident in the run-in but has warned them not to stray in to being over-confident - He also believes Birmingham will represent a different challenge to the three previous times they have met this season, as they are looking for ‘different solutions

Poor Jack we all know the Jinger Twat will be starting tomorrow.

Big Al for me there'll never be another player like him to play for NUFC . As we all know he could have signed for the red side of Manchester but came home instead. Not say Beardsley wasn't a good player but I'd pick Shearer.

Bed floating down the street with that thread title we're doomed & will probably be relegated to the Northern Premier League now Nah we'll win this 2-0

I'm surprised he hasn't started selling the pitch off at the end of the season a tenner a square yard

Ashley the gift that keeps on taking

Tight leather jeans, cut off leather jacket, tattoos, bandana, sunglasses, hair down my back I looked cool as fuck lol

Sod off lol

I took a pair of leather jeans for him to take in he did a cracking job

How many points do you think we need to avoid the play offs ? Any ideas lads ?

The thing is everyone will fancy their chances against us at SJP now, The 5 home games are... Wigan Burton Albion Leeds Preston Barnsley The 4 away games are ... Birmingham Sheff Wed Ipswich Cardiff
