Tales from the Toon. The ups and downs of an NUFC supporter....

Oh dear.  Guess cheering Newcastle goals it is then!

[toddswain]

I'm a Newcastle fan from Manchester, watched us beat United in their stand, can't explain how hard it was, stayed sat down when United scored a goal (was disallowed)
Also watched us win at etihad last season in city end in cup, not as satisfying but still good

Fml, booked two tickets for arsenal home game less than 2 hours ago, Mrs comes home and reminded me we're away that weekend, anyone here wanna buy them? 

Would imagine it will sell out so they'll probably be happy to take them back, ring the club and find out but think that's how it works.

Otherwise there's some official site for selling Newcastle tickets to, could try there.

Doubt I know anyone who'd take them but if you have no joy PM me and will try.

I'm in the home end with my Geordie Misses for the Newcastle v Watford game.  I can manage not cheering Watford goals but do I have to cheer Geordie goals to avoid a bashing?  This seems to vary club to club.

Depends quite a lot where you're sitting, but you'll basically be fine. If you say you're a Watford fan and the missus is a Geordie you'll likely get some ribbing, but unless you're sat with the knackers you'll be fine saying nowt and not celebrating

Apparently the PSV left back Willens (sp?) was spotted at Soton game and instagrammd 'flying to the future' and Shakira's Swiss Homophone was on his way to SJP per 'sky sources'... Who now claim he has in fact signed for Stoke. Good signing for them that.

Why aren't they centre backs?

Im a Sunderland fan and watched the derby circa 2005 10 rows infront of the Sunderland fans. It was the derby we got beat 3-2, think Ameobi scored twice and Emre once. It went 1-0 1-1 2-1 2-2 3-2. And then Liam Laurence was played in over the top and tried to chip the keeper and hit the cross bar. I was about a second away from saying "fuck this, I can't take anymore, just give me the beating now"

Never, ever, again.

Jesus that is risky

youre being linked with our CB Lewis Dunk, would be a good move for him, around 4-5M

Apparently we'll offer Iron Mike in part ex. Bad business for you even if we give you £40m then

Club give refunds if you return 72 hours before kick off, chuffed

be lucky to finish this game with a 5-a-side team

Concerning that Cisse and Colback got a full 90 minutes last night. Cisse has a great ability to put the ball in the net but beyond that is pretty terrible. He doesn't seem to fit into the type of system McClaren is going for. Yes he's only there because of a suspension but still.

And I'm not sure what the point of Colback is. And there's certainly no need for him and Anita in the same role. Anita does it far better. Colback contributes nothing and is often the source of attacks breaking down.

no words in any language can describe that performance.

I give up watching this cack.

How about Super Wednesday?
