    Newcastle fans

    Everton this year and every year. I'd have liked Norwich to stay up as I like the club and city. I have no problem with Leeds and am glad the club is in the PL as it's almost in the north.

    Off Topic Warm Glow- Since 2014- now like Milan- Mackem Free

    18. ManCity abstained - they didn't support the new rules but chose not to oppose for obvious reasons. It's a crying shame we lost to Everton. Had we beaten them they'd be circling the drain.

    Everton and Usmanov

    It's odd that the 3 clubs which have, along with us, possibly the greatest ancient history (ie.pre WW1) are our greatest adversaries today - Sunderland, Aston Villa and Everton. It's a rivalry set in a vintage, sepia tone.

    SJP - Stadium upgrade discussion thread.

    Hypothetically, the football stadium could be moved about 15-20 metres west as well as extending the Gallowgate. An underground pedestrian pass could be built under Barrack Road for those arriving from 'Nam and Elswick. The club would probably be able to continue playing at St.James's while the...

    Everton and Usmanov

    When you've been spat in the face twice on your life and both times while walking outside Goodison Park, it does colour your perception of a club's fans somewhat. I've visited their ground twice in my life and my crime was wearing a black and white scarf. I've never had trouble with Liverpool...

    Everton and Usmanov

    Everton are in all sorts of bother at the moment. Overpent, relegation battle, Russian money severed, spent? Cannot say I'm unhappy as my encounters with Everton fans over the years has led me to dislike an otherwise neutral club. However, it does raise the specter of who a club gets into bed...

    It is. Imo the top 4 in my list are all remarkably good.

    Off Topic Best Bond Song

    Odd options you proffered - of that lot only Live And Let Die would make my top 10. Not sure I like more than 10. 1. We have all the time in the world - Louis Armstrong 2. Diamonds are Forever- Shirley Bassey 3. Nobody does it better - Carly Simon 4. You only live twice - Nancy Sinatra 5...

    Leazes Terrace

    Impeccable deciphering.

    Leazes Terrace

    Careful with words like 'innovative' and 'heritage' - some on here won't approve. You're right of course. Newcastle's architecture and topography give the city its special personality and appeal. Newcastle United should compliment and not detract from that. The juxtaposition of St.James's with...

    ...or perhaps we should all just move to Peterlee.

    Leazes Terrace

    Good grief. Some of you are seriously suggesting removing/demolishing/replacing the finest building in Newcastle's finest neighbourhood on account of trying to add a few thousand more seats to a stadium that can only ever be hemmed in? Perhaps you'd consider paving over Grey Street while you're...

    Leazes Terrace

    Everyone should give up on their pursuit of Leazes Terrace. It's Grade I listed and sits in a Conservation Area - and I believe it's the only residential building in Newcastle with such eminent national status. The group value of the Leazes/St.Thomas's neighbourhood, with Leazes Terrace as its...

    Where is the attendance limit?

    Ardently agree with you. It'd be an emotional wrench to leave our home of 140 years, but the site is far too restrictive. Purely from a footballing perspective, the renovation and (Gallowgate) expansion of St.James's appears apt. However, the Arena site offers the opportunity for so much more...
