    I'm not going.

    I won't be going on Saturday I've finally had enough. 47 years since my first game the last 25 as a ST holder. I've loved it, I've hated it but I've always turned up. I always dreamed but never expected to be league champions (apart from KK's time) I just wanted to be entertained, to talk about...

    Anyone thinking of going to Benfica ??

    We've taking a chance and booked our trip to Lisbon. If you need 70-100 points we'll be fooked and we'll be watching in a Lisbon bar. However I think it will be a lot lower plus I'm expecting an allocation well into the 1000's.

    David Sullivan (West Ham co-owner) on Demba Ba

    Ashley won't be too unhappy with the way the Demba Ba situation has developed. 1. He didn't pay a transfer fee in the first place. (With the club policy he would never have paid a massive amount for him) 2. He paid £2 million agents fee. (Probably saw it as a trade off for no transfer fee and...

    Raylor tackle.

    Warnock was very lucky not to be yellow carded for the tackle. Some refs' would have sent him off!

    The Land of Delusion..

    I want Curly hair too. What if... Basel get kicked out of the Champion's League and as a result Newcastle are chosen to replace them? What if we won the Champion's League and as a result gained automatic qualification to the 2014 Brazil World Cup? What if we won the World Cup with a Shola...

    US fans

    Watched the Man Utd game in Legends NYC last season, great craic with both ex-pats and American Toon supporters. Was made to feel very welcome. To be honest the vast majority of supporters we spoke to were from the West end of Newcastle.

    In the year 3 BC (Before Keegan, 1st of the great messiah's)

    Other folk may recognise it simply as 1989. 35000 empty seats. I've been robbed! I was standing in the Leazes end in 1989. Some unwashed ba***rd must have nicked the seats.

    If Nile Ranger goes to prison!!

    Of course they can sack him If he fails to fulfil his contract. Therefore if he is not available for selection he is not fulfilling his contract. Although they stood by Joey Barton they won't do the same with Ranger.

    Nile Ranger arrested?

    If found guilty this guy is going to spend time in Durham Jail as well as having his contract terminated. Assaulting (allegedly) a guy in the Groat market is bad enough, injuring 2 policemen who arrested him, will seal his fate. (Source Radio Newcastle)
