Will tonight be the night?
As the whole region waits in anticipation of the big match, the team news is generally good. Only long term casualty, Steven Taylor, and ‘One Size’ Fitz Hall will be missing from selection, and a full strength team will be expected no doubt at St James’s Park this evening.
It should not be forgotten however that Kevin Blackwell’s mighty Blades have promotion ambitions of their own. Though only sitting in tenth on 55 points, they are still in with a slim chance of making the playoff places and will fight tooth and nail for a spot their own piece of the promotion action this evening. Speaking on the game this evening, and their promotion chances, Blackwell said this:
“We don’t want to be the warm up act for someone else’s party. It’s a big day for Newcastle but it is our job to go up there and spoil things for them.”
On the playoff chance he added:
“We still have some thing to play for even though it will probably mean we have to winat least four of our last five matches”.
Meanwhile, our glorious leader, Chris Hughton, had this to say on the game tonight and promotion:
“I think in an ideal scenario, yes, we would like to do it at St.James’ Park in front of a full house,”
“The fans have turned up in their droves at St.James’ all season and to clinch promotion in front of them would be magnificent.
“They deserve to enjoy that moment when we know we’ve done it and we’re all hoping that is Monday night.
“But there is still a job to be done and we have to prepare to face a good Sheffield United side who gave us a good game earlier in the season when we had to fight our way to a 1-0 win.
“We can’t let promotion distract us from the excellent job we’ve done all season and we’ll be looking for a similarly high standard of performance on Monday.”
This match will be covered live Sky Sports, but as usual, if any of you have good links for the game, then please feel free to post them. For all the usual, slightly more in depth pre match speculation, you can also check out Toonsy’s excellent match preview.

Ting!
Ting again!
Wey Aye m8! I’m goin mental ower here!! Can’t wait for promotion to be confirmed!!
Ting Ting
Is “oi oi savaloy” just a cockney expression?
LoL, that was a TOTALLY random question.
A nice shiny new blog to scribble on.
Aye! There’s gonna be a lot of scribble today, m8s
I haven’t posted on here in a very long time not sure if anyone remembers me but just wanted to say im buzzing for tonight. HWTL!!
Lads I think we will break the attendance record tonite even though its a week day game and on sky.
Howay the Lads
Norn Iron Mag-
Actually, I DO remember ya m8. At least your moniker
oi oi is,
don’t know about the savaloy bit like.
This forest game is like a knackered horse taking it’s final steps. It’s painful to watch.
The crowd should try supporting the team, it might work.
Norn Iron hows it going mate longtime no hear what have you been up to
Clint-
That sucks about Forest… was really hopin they’d pull off a win. Must be either completely lackluster, or just dug out in the trenches. Wish someone would break the damn deadlock!!
Clint I keep watching bits but its like watching paint dry plus McCarthys voice go’s rite through me
Close game at Forest. Anyone got a link for the match tonight if it’s on sky?
TBF,
cardiff have got more of the ball right now & look more likely.
Still time.
Didn’t think i’d ever say this but … Come on Forest!
tomojo-
try myp2p.eu and search for Newcastle
usually will find something there
Aye Dave,
this game’s like a wafer thin starter, doesn’t even whet y’ appetite.
tomojo you will get Links posted on here near kick-off
Who do you fancy up front tonight, I hope McLoven and Carroll not sure if the Bigger Lad is fit though?
Clint its like ordering a prawn cocktail and getting just the lettuce
I’ll check that out OHurley, cheers guys.
Its nice to be remembered. lol
Just work and family stuff Dave I’ve always been reading but haven’t commented.
How long left at Forest?
Norn Iron-
’bout 12 minutes (countin stoppage time)
Anyone else think it’s possible that CH will keep the result of the Forest game from the lads tonight?
Dave
forest had a chance there.
It’s getting a little lively now at Forest…
I think they will most certainly find out the result anyway tbh.
no! the crowd would tell them are u mad
7 mins norn iron
@ OHurley…
Sounds like a good idea that. Keep them focused.
Asim- yeah but I mean BEFORE they get to the pitch…
also try iraqgoals or justin tv. Come on boys 4-0 tonight.
They’re probably watching it in the looker room on their fones.
Sitting in the car with the radio on near the city hall, really wish I had come by metro now, want a few beers!! Just hope it’s a great game tonight, we go out and win it. Let’s keep this home record going. Just have to have a few beers when I get back
Btw- look at what I said anyway- Do you think *CH* will keep it from them. Not the crowd, you numpty
Clint They should have netted there this has got a draw all over it.
OHurley CH did say he had no interest in knowing the Forest result but I cant see him locking the players in the dressing room
Norn Iron dont be a stranger
look! they would have tvs up at the ground plus when they warm up dont u think the crowd then would tell them.
Multiple answers Dave? Very nice
Scrap there!
Wise reffing for a change.
Keeper could’a been sent off there, no? very silly.
Asim- you really need to learn how to read m8…
The intimation was that CH could theoretically take their phones and turn off the tele’s. They wouldn’t know until they get to the pitch. Might help ‘em keep their focus… There’s really no reason to argue about it.
forest picking it up now.
5mins + overtime.
asim, chill mate.
we’re all friends tonight mate, ok?
any links for tonight ?
Hi everyone just in the club shop watching sky for the forest result. Enjoy the match everyone if you’re here, or not. We are all Toon fans the world over. Hwtl

Hey guys, first post here but had been reading this site often. Delighted as with everyone else that we’re up!

There it is! thanks for the link, Worky.
What are we all drinking lads? Me? Brooklyn Pilsner!
FSOTC
free ones.
Where you getting the free ones, Clint?
Is nobody else on the sauce in celebration yet? Come on now.

“What are we all drinking lads? Me? Brooklyn Pilsner!”
That’s good beer, FSOTC.
Yeah, it’s alright. It’s the local brew and all, for me anyway.
ooohhhhhhh routledge
So now that we’re up, what are the rumors about players we’re looking to buy for the Prem?
FSOTC,
down here in the smoke, everyone knows who i support & they wanted to buy us a drink.
It’d be rude to refuse anyone like.
Lads we seem to be well up for it I think if we score early we will rip them apart
FSOTC im on coffee
Wow, great ball from Nolan.
If Routledge finds his shooting boots he could be pivotal for us next season. He’s good with the ball at his feet and is lightening quick. Not saying he wont be anyway, but more that with a bit of work he has the ability to be a midfielder who really pitches in with a good few goals.
Good for you Clint. Hope you’re not working tomorrow!
Big Dave, come on, crack open a beer for the love of god. It’s a celebration tonight.
decent chance for them
‘arry ‘igor’ redknapper is trying to start a bidding race for alan hutton from spuds.
Mate
i’m working now!
Gary Speed in Sheffield’s management team! didn’t know that.
Kinda
That’s good work if you can get it, Clint. Can I get an application, please?
SPELLING AND TYPING ALERT: The beer is going to my head already, so apologies for any typing disasters that result in the ensuing posts.
FSOTC-He is (or was earlier this season i think), a player coach. Dunno if he’s just sitting it out now purely to coach but i’m pretty sure he’s a squad member. Bugger off.
FFS 1-0 DOWN
FFS
Could see that coming, when they set up for the corner.
PLOP !
http://iraqgoals.net/7462-newcastle-united-vs-sheffield-united.html
Bloody typical!
Anyone think we should try and get Robbie Keane in the summer?
If Ashley ups the wage cap to maybe 60k then i reckon he would comee.
That looked like Colo left him
They’re talking about Harper being blocked off but i can’t see how theyve down owt wrong there like. They’ve just stood in his way. Go through the back of them and clear out the box if thats the case.
I think they boys are distracted!
Look at Steven Taylor without a mark on his face.
My friend Scott had his jaw busted in the old days and his face was swollen like a chipmunk for a good few weeks. But later, his jaw was wired and you wouldn’t know anything unless you went up and spoke to him directly.
Missed Taylor, his face look fine did it?..we look a bit sloppy here, a yard off the pace and they’re pressuring us quickly when we’ve got the ball.
FSOTC thats why I wanted Forest to win we are getting real sloppy
How is Robbie Keane doing at Celtic? I haven’t paid attention to the SPL at all.
I don’t think he fits the clubs alleged policy of not signing older than 26.
The players all look very nervous I think a goal would settle them
FSOTC-Keane has 10 in 12 at Celtic, or 12 in 12 or something. Pretty sure he bagged a hattrick a couple of weeks back.
SJP are just desperate for a go on goal, screaming shoot at Williamson when he’s 25 yards out with the ball at his feet lol.
They look way off, don’t they?especially through the middle.
Wow, Ross, I had no idea. BUt is he too old for the policy?
FSOTC
Taylor might have had plates put in rather than had it wired. I broke my jaw about 10 years ago, i didn’t know it was broken until 3 days after it happened, i went to the dentist thinking i had a split gum but he moved my jaw and said it was broke in 2 places! I had to metal plates inserted, there was no marks and only swelling for 1 day so it’s possible Taylor’s was broken and you couldn’t tell by looking at him.
@101
Canada here. Niagara
Howay!
Tino–sorry to hear it. Thanks for the clarification.
Niagara, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, USA, Scotland, Netherlands, London, Singapore, UAE, Saudi, Northern Ireland, Ireland, New York.
Promotion got sealed early, worst thing that could of happened because there’s almost nothing to play for and the lads are far too relaxed, couple of guilt edged misses from Routledge. Still think we’ll win, Shola will bag a goal.
Martin Tyler was funny just now–trying to figure out why SJP is so quiet, he siad “Well, they’ve only had half an hour to celebrate…” wonder what it could be?
Carroll–very close.
Isn’t Williamson 29 or something like that?
I don’t think we should read to much into this under 26 thing, the club never directly said we had such a policy did they?
Looks like a friendly game.
Howay lads don’t give up the home record, today of all days.
HOWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Clint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many do you have in you already man?
FSOTC-you also have to remember that with all due respect to the Scottish, the SPL isnt exactly the height of talent as far as the footballing world goes. Living up in Edinburgh these days I see plenty of it and have plenty of mates who are Celtic fans. The moment he made the move I said it was a great signing for them because he’d run rings round alot of the defenders and thats seemingly being the case looking at his goal record thus far. Personally I just dont think he was getting the game time at Spurs or he’d have scored there too though. I think he’s a good striker, that “right place right time” sort of player, gets himself into good positions and knows where the net is. There were pundits saying the other day we need to emulate the scum and get a striker like Bent who will guarantee goals next season. As much as i dont like using the unwashed as a mould for next season and wouldn’t, I sort of understand where they’re coming from in that we need a proven striker who is a straight up goalscorer.
On another note, how haven’t we scored yet!? lol. Couple of good efforts and good saves.
We need a No. 9.
PEnalty !!!!
5 free
& 4 lined up-free
Pen!
Come on lads get in there Lovens
Wow–what a homer the ref just became.
McLoven !!!!
What a signing he has proven to be!
lovely
Lovenkrands!
Good lad.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!
I’m in London, but I wish I was on the Quayside . . .
Toon!
Thank fuk for that get in half-time CH give them the hairdryer then come out and bury them
Loverman!
Ross–good points, man. ARe you for him or again’ him?
speed sent off
Speed off
Gary speed off to the stands
was it ever really a penalty?
Really stupid defending to be honest. The ref has just told him to keep his hands off Carroll and 30 seconds later he’s all over him when the next corner comes in. All eyes were on them and he’s clearly fouled Wor Andy. Fair play to Loven, good pen.
yeah I’m surprised Carroll still had his shirt on. penalty for sure.
Yup Good Pen….deffo grabbing him.
Think we will come out and smash em second half.
What Dave said,
CH kick ‘em up their ass please.
This team can’t believe their luck.
pretty soft though. you see that every game, every corner, every free kick and it’s never given.
MORE BEER FOR ME!
CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINT! I’d buy you one man, if I was there.
FSOTC,
i don’t normally drink either,
so i’m gonna be well f***ed up real soon.
Well, its a great day promotion wise.
This game is another matter however.
One player that clearly won’t cut in in the premier league is Danny Simpson. I don’t even think he’s a great Championship player so we definately need a right back.
Then we’ve got players that are bottom feeders. Ie. The making of players that are only good enough to see us be relegation scrappers.
A player like Coloccini really worries me: for instance, how he didn’t even jump to challenge for Sheffield United’s goal.
Nolan gets a lot of stick, but for me, his football intellegence is leagues above any other player in our team.
Enrique is also fantastic, and I think Jonas, Routeledge and Guthrie would all be valuable players in the premier league.
However, Carroll still isnt ready quite yet for that standard and would be a good squad player.
We’ll need an experienced good Premiership striker, a right back, and an attacking midfielder as major priorities next season.
FSOTC-You’ve stumped me a little RE Keane, because i’m not 100% sure, haha. He’s experienced and he would score goals for us I think, but he is the other side of the age barrier, so I think we’d have to get him for a canny price and he’d want to be one of, if not the highest earner at the club i’d imagine. We all know Ashley isnt going to be pushed about financially by anyone.
However, is he a better option than a foreigner who may take time to adapt to the league or a younger player who isn’t proven at Premiership level? Absolutly. Whether we like it or not, a large portion of next season will be about survival. First season back for any club isn’t easy and if we get the chance to sign a proven goalscorer at Premiership level I think it should be taken. Provided the price is right, of course as other area’s of the squad would need strengthening. I can’t see the likes of Hughton blowing our wad on an overpriced player though. He’s too sensible for it and the days of trophy signings are gone-Something i’m more than happy with.
Howay m8s!
Relaxed first half, but I see an avanlanche headin their way in a few minutes.
Yeyyyyyyyyy!
i’m having one for y’right now mate.
Howayyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Few things that are clear we need to sort out:
1 Jonas needs to pass in his own half and take on players in the opposition half, not all the time.
2 Coloccini needs to grow a pair and challenge even if theres a chance he thinks he might get hurt.
3 We need a better quality right back, surely Ryan Taylor deserves a spot before Simpson.
The rest can only be done in the transfer window.
If Barton can get fit, I think he and Nolan would be great together with an INTELLEGENT PACEY striker next year.
Jonas and Routledge are good suppliers in a way (though Jonas needs to work on his crossing) but it woudl be great to have a scoring winger or two.
what about a creative midfielder?
is Guthrie really the one?
Why are we the first team to play lovenkrands as an out and out striker ? the lad has every thing in his locker as a fox in the box , he took that penalty as cool as you like .Maybe M owen should study some videos of him
Clint, man, I’ve got the advantage of it being 3:48pm in new york right now and no work tomorrow!
Lads it’s me birtday in 20 minutes! What a present eh?? Haha, promotion- now that’s a gift to savour
Gonna sink a few more tinnys then off down the pub! HOWAY THE LADS
Did anyone see their 1st goal again was Colo at fault as it looked like he let the player get the shot in without tomuch of a challenge.
Well as young OHurley says we should see an avanlanche this half as im sure CH ripped a few players apart
Don’t think we can judge the lads too harshly tonight lads.
It must be tough to get up for this game.
A bit of professionalism should reappear next half.
CH is slapping their daft heeds right now.
Were I not at me graft, I’d be tankin’ em with you’s. Ooooohhhhh how I’m gannin to the booza as soon as I get off to down many many many pints of Broon ale
FSOTC I think Guthrie will grow in the CM position
FSOTC
i’ve got the advantage of a little something to stop me getting too lashed & no work tomorra!
I think Nolan is a fantastic attacking midfielder on his day.
Guthrie too shows good “drive” and i enjoy watching him play.
I think they’d both cope in the premiership but of course we need a couple others pushing them. Barton and (not Smith) (not Butt) but someone else. Smith would only fit in a five man midfield playing the anchor man role really.
As for goal scoring wingers, I agree we don’t have on. Jonas never will be one, but Routeledge could be with a bit more composure. He reminds me a bit a Kieron Dyer.
We need someone in the mould of Nobby Solano though.
Robbie Keane, Hutton on loan from Spuds and say Wilshere from the Arse would be great wouldn’t it.
That way MA wouldn’t have to spend a cent.
Fans , dont forget that Guthrie is still quite young and imo improving all the time , would like to see him and Barton together .
games back on m8s. see ya’s in a bit!
hwtl
happy birthday DevonMag
3 goals in the Gallowgate will be your present from the lads.
get in!
Aye,
happy birthday devonmag.
All the best marra.
JJ-Jamie O’Hara is a young midfielder I’m a big fan of. Puts in the graft, is a good passer of the ball and can finish too. Right age and who knows what will happen at the end of this season because he wont be down in the CCC with Pompey.
Also, happy Bday Devon!
More power to ya’ Clint…. drink teh eff up, c.int and eff the morning!
whoa–the typing’s gone.
WHo else would you like to get for us, realisticallY?
I’m a yank–so how aobut Landon Dnovan?
Never happen, I guess. I wasn’t always a huge fan, but he’s really improved a lot over the last year.
Happy b-day, Devon. Where’re you writing from/>
Commentators talking about a journalists lack of material at NUFC this season, strange, that spiteful M@ckem Louise Taylor still finds plenty of dross in her twisted brain to spout about us!
Wonder who the bird is with MA Daughter maybe ?
Fat bastard on the screeen!
Feel sorry for whomever that Lovenkrands effort hits on the bonce, he absolutly rifled that,lol
Is it the drink or are we looking better this half?
FSOTC
Get stuck in mate.
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!
Colo done well there.
We’ve had our chances here like, great burst and ball from Enrique, Loven should have done better.
Enrique is the fecking bee’s knees.
Got lucky there, a better ball and he’d have had plenty of time to pick his spot 1 on 1.
cheers lads! I’m writing from the fine city of Exeter FSOTC, but my permanent residence is actually in Brighton. I’m just down here seeing friends and family. Right-o, 7 tinny’s down, 5 more to go! I doubt very much I’ll finish all 12 but it’s worth a crack, eh?
Colo–great fecking stop.
Ross – right then its decided then, we need Robbie Keane, Jamie O’Hara and Alan Hutton and Jack Wilshere on loan.
Right Houghton, we’ve done your shopping list for ya, now go out and get them! haha.
Simpson’s still looking very poor
, the rest I could all see scraping by in the Prem though.
If anyone scores a winner in this win I can only see it being Nolan or Lovenkrans. Maybe Guthrie or Shola coming on as a sub.
Colo with three big interventions there.
Brighton, Niagara, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, USA, Scotland, Netherlands, London, Singapore, UAE, Saudi, Northern Ireland, Ireland, New York.
Where else, friends?
Devon, my brother lives in BAth, not too far away, is it/
JJ-I would take Hutton aswell. What is this talk of Redknapp mentioning us being in for him or something?..He’s not brilliant at the back but if we got him we’d have two very attacking fullbacks which i’m a big fan of.
So unlucky Jonas!..Fantastic run and he almost had another goal, brilliant effort.
offthe fecing post!!!!!!!
JJ Guthrie would be doing well if he comes on as he is allready on
Bollox,
me link went down,
have i missed anything?
Goal of the year if Spidey had put that in.
FATTY!!!!
NOLAN!
Fantastic finish Nolan. GAN ON LADS
come on Lads Nolan
Nolan, what a beauty – do I know my football or what? lol
Nolan, f!@#ng brilliant!
That was a fuking belter
FSOTC……Wellington New Zealand , just tucking into me celebratory bacon sarnie and a bottle of broon !! 8.20 AM…
NOLAN!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nolan haters… please watch this again. not myfavorite palyare, but a good pro, capable of goals.
Come on Lads lets teach these c#nts a lesson
CLiNT-Jonas essentially picked the ball up on the half way line, danced through 3 players, cut inside and battered an effort off the post. A ball in the air wasnt cleared properly there, Danny Simpson hooked it over his head back into the box, Lovenkrands cushioned it down and Nolan took it over his shoulder with a lovely overhead to finish.

Where else?
Mick Lowes couldnt have put it better Ross!
Perfect Ross.
You’re a total dood, ta!
Jonas and Routledge switched sides at some point, no?
Or is Jonas playing in the middle.?
great interplay from Enrique an d Guthrie
80min Shola time? or Barton?
CLiNT-Without being a d!ck i’m essentially trying to say you missed a brilliant bit of individual play, and a great second goal…not too much though, neither were anything special, honest
haha. We’re starting to turn the screw a bit now like, seem to be creating chances regularly when going forward

You can add South Africa to that list
Strolla on for lovens

And Let’s say Nigeria too since Shola’s on!
Ross
i’m back mate & i seen it, so no prob mate.
Ta for the write up-very pro man.
Well, do we carea bout winning the league or do we want Chris to play our young guns for the next few games?
Joey B is getting a run out I think
Is that “Theres only one Joey Barton” ringing out from Level 7? lol
Nicky butt to pour the cement into the midfield and seal this deal?
Nope it’s head busting Barton, it seems.
Come on Joey, mend your ways and do us proud next season.
Joey answered the call of one Joey Barton by swiftly conceding a free kick, haha. Textbook!
FSOTC I want us to win the league aswell as keep our unbeaten run going no matter what
So “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance,” to quote Vampire Weekend.
R Taylor getting a deserved run out
Strolla
bah
Haha, at least he can have a laugh about it, unlucky Shola.
It’s over!
We’re up and we won with nothing to play for!
this says a lot that we have repeatedly come back from being down. Thats a quality that will do us well in the Prem.
Way to grind out an ugly, but 3 point yielding result.
What a day for NUFC.
HWTL
Fat bastard on screen!
Hail Chris Hughton! Great work, man.
@Fans Should Own The Club: Malaysia!
Anyone know why Ryan Taylor never gets a game? Everytime he plays he seems to either score or make an assist, I think he’s a better RB than Simpson.
Fat bastard on screen again!
Good man, Nolan. Wants to win it all this season, he says. Great goal tonight, man. Thanks, Nolan.
Tell you what, watching this isn’t helping the fact I cant make midweek games, lol. SJP is on fire, the place is bouncing. Hughton taking rightful applause, he’s been fantastic this season and full credit to him. Howay The Lads, brilliant feeling to know we’re going up.
Now Harps. Great work to you too, man. How many years have you served this club?
Don’t feel like reading all 280+ replies to the thread…how many were there tonight? Fortunate enough to watch via espn360.com. Job is almost done…what…7 more points to confirm as champions?
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Get the F*** IN!
Now win the league y’bastards, you’ve had a night off.
Howay the lads!
Fantastic !!
Showed Grit second half could of had plenty more!
Howay The Lads
A season in the abyss (by our standards) and we’re back up next.
Congrats to all!!!!
Ahhh, and now we get to beat Sunderland some more!!! What a great day, m8s!!!

LET THIS SEASON BE A LESSON TO US ALL!
Club, players, fans!
Well done to Chris Hughton & Colin Calderwood, & ALL their backroom staff.
Well done to the lads for sticking around, getting stuck in & getting us back with games to spare!
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!
HOWAY THE LADS!
Nashville, Tennessee
Great night , morning for me , lets plan for the future tomorro ! But enjoy the limelight today HTL , KTF !

CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINT! Drink up again man. We’re not working tomrorrwoa.
Everybody get pissed!!! I know I am when i’m done graftin
It’s been a pleasure tonight lads & lasses.
Oh it’s such a perfect day, i’m glad i spent it with you……
Get the beers in FSOTC.
WWWOOOOAAAAHHHH!
OHurley your right mat it has been a great day and hopfully we will see more very soon when we left the CCC cup. and dont be a stranger mate you will get good banter on here mate
Right lads, a couple of other questions off topic.
1-If we’re promoted as champions, i assume we’ll be presented the trophy at the final home game of the season? I will be at both remaining home games so its not that much of an issue, im purely curious lol.
2-As we’re going to Puma for our kit maker next season, will we be doing what most teams do when changing their kit, and sporting it in the final home game of the season? Or are we contractually obliged to wear the Adidas kit for the remainder of the season until we officially change to Puma?

Clint @ 295 same here mate I cant wait to get over for another match and maybe stay the weekend tattoo a few on here while im over I know Toonsy and Icedog are looking stuff so hopfully be good fun
Wikipedia’s already been edited to say we’re back up!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C.
Ross I dont think we will see the new kit untill next season they normally wear the new one but that is with the same sponsor so that fans will buy it during the summer. I just hope they dont have the cat in black
Big Dave-That was my thought aswell mate. If the sponsor stayed the same they’d promote it, but my general feeling was that Adidas were probably contracted to make our kits for the season and I doubt they’d say “aye, why not, let Puma advertise their product on our patch” lol.
I’m intrigued to see what it’s like mind. Puma have made some canny kits over the past few seasons so hopefully we get something decent cos I think the Adidas this season is canny, one of the nicest we’ve had for a while.
Ross I have allways liked Adidas as there stripes allways fitted in with our kit and will be sad to see the end of their sponsorship. but Puma have made some canny kits
I preferred last season’s kit… but I don’t want to buy till the fat man is out.
Up NUFC! Fan ownership for me!
signing off boys. Enjoy the celebrations.
Congrats to all far and wide!
Newcastle United crumbled into ruin, burned down, by the flames of relegation.
But out of the ashes arose not a phoenix but a glorious black and white Magpie.
Geordies and fans celebrate in and outside the Geordie nation,
The belief, the hope and the true faith will never ever die.
FSOTC take it easy mate
FSOTC,
take it ez dood, top stuff mate!
Keep up the drinking bud, no work tomorra!
WE ARE THE GEORDIES……………………
FSOTC,
Denver, Colorado. Chuffed to bits, couldn’t follow the game until the very end (bloody work), but I did know the Forest result so knew we was gannin’ up tae the Prem. Happy days. This season has been a joy, but now we have to win this league and then prepare for what will be a difficult season come August.
HWTL!!!!
I feel a bit dizzy
Me too jay jay,
nice dizzy though eh?
Looking forward to a lovely heedache tomorra.
Brilliant win, we could have scored more if Lover had his boots on the correct feet! He had enough chances to get close to twenty himself tonight.
And I was just thinking to myself Nolan don’t seem to be doing much and wondering whether it might be an idea for CH to sub him when he goes and scores a sublime goal. Pity Andy couldn’t get on the score sheet but I reckon his presence was enough to create chances and that near miss by Jonas was a great effort. I don’t think Harper had many serious saves to make in the second half other than some slightly shaky corners, whereas their goalie had to make several. We could easily have won by more but who cares we have done it, next stop the Premier League. Anyway hadn’t planned to try and summarise the highlights I think I’m just babbling with delerious joy, so I’ll shut up now.
Nolan deserved that goal.
Cherry on the top of a battling season.
Well, what can I say?
Well done lads!
But I have to say I heard something tonight that I’m not sure anyone will appreciate.
I’ve heard that Hughton will be replaced in the summer.
I know it sounds ridiculous but this is what I have heard.
The guy who told me is the guy who told me Barry Moat had made a bid for NUFC and he was right.
He mentioned Shearer but I don’t quite believe that – But he was adamant that Hughton will probably be replaced.
Stuart hope you had a good night mate it sounded like a real cracking atmosphere, I only wish I was there. Re what you heard I take it then you have faith in your source
did anyone hear what the gate was tonite
Big Dave,
I had a good time thanks, bit of an anti climax probably due to the expectations ect but great nevertheless.
I can only go off what he has told me in the past. He is well placed and he really doesn’t need to make this sort of stuff up.
I told him he was talking shite and he agreed with me! But said, nobody is denying this at the club.
Stuart-I’m refusing to believe it myself but even in the post match analysis on SS the possibility of CH being replaced by the time the Prem season’s start rolls round was murmoured.
I’m also interested if anyone knows the gate? Must have been near enough a sell out?
Just under 49k
Ross,
Think there was about 48,500- Sheff Utd only sold abut 800 apparently so that had a big impact on the gate.
I think the corp box’s had a big impact aswell but im sure when we start in the prem next year there will be some wa#kers taking their seats in the prawn sandwich box’s
ah classic times. great crowd down nevadas. plus champaign on the bar! love it.
hope the boys back in newcastle are partying us proud.
next stop – pickin up the coke cup on our way up to the premier league!
