Ashley came up with it in the end.... https://www.chequecentre.co.uk/NorthEastEngland.aspx

From BBC Match Stats Shots on target Newcastle 6 Leicester 6 There you go then. Pretty evenly matched with a team just promoted from League 1.

Can you hear the Leazes cos I couldn't hear the Gallowgate...I think there was one point where we finished "get out of our club" and I heard the gallowgate do another verse. Was there anyone in the Leazes last night ??? Like a fuckin' morgue, man The bottom tier did seem to have some gaping holes. Aren't seats in the middle quite expensive? Standing room only upstairs though.

We should have scored a second late on when Nolan (pretty sure it was him) could hardly lift his leg high enough to get any power into the shot. Aaaand one from Smith which he could have done better. Aaaaand the goal. That's three off the top of me heed. Aye, they were limp dick shots though. Shots (on Goal) 9(5) 12(6) Fouls 13 11 Corner Kicks 1 2 Offsides 4 3 Time of Possession 53% 47% Yellow Cards 1 1 Red Cards 0 0 Saves 8 4 They had more shots on and off target and more corners.

We had one shot on target and our keeper made 3 quality saves. If anyone deserved more goals it was Leicester.

I call my slide whistle Shola. The 2 sounds pretty much cover his performances.

That's what I don't understand though: It's been a million times more peaceful than it has been in the past...so why the sudden provocation? I agree with 1892 that we need a bit more colour up there and perhaps a way of getting everytone to learn the words to Geordie Sail and This Badge.... I never saw it as provocation. A couple of Stewards were walking up the stairs, so we sang about standing. It's been the done thing for years. It used to be that the stewards were more synchronised and wandered up every 15 minutes, and even people that were sat down for most of the game would stand up especially for a chorus of "stand up if you love the toon"....just to make a point.

You say that but what do you expect from a manager??? We are unbeaten in the league and the boys in the dressing room are 100% behind him. If he was our manager for this season i wouldn't be worried at all. I wouldn't really call him a manager first of all. But I was rather meaning for the future, say if we got promoted, I wouldn't want him in charge for the Premiership as last season proved he was tactically inept for that standard (although he did have big ego's to contend with then), only if he learns from this season and actually improves a canny bit from it, then maybe at a push but it's still not convincing, and then we could look to when we had Roeder in charge after a brief stint... As for Hughton though I wasn't expecting a great deal and he's definately delivered so far, and that's why I said he deserved the credit, because so far he has done a good job, but I don't think it'd work out permanently. Agree with you on the point that i think noone was expecting what he has done so far. He has lifted this team and got them performing and winning matches. All managers have to start somewhere and i'm not saying he will be the next big manager but he has improved. If we can't have Shearer and Dowie i would be happy with Chris. IMO I said it elsewhere, but anyone left at the club knows that no other clubs are interested....because EVERYONE was for sale. It's a lot easier to motivate players who realise they have to buck their ideas up if they're going to get a move in the next window.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict we've made zero signings come 5pm.

I thought it was red meat that caused that. ...I googled... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4662934.stm

Hopefully we will get promoted (there's a loooooooooong way to go though). But if we do get promoted this season, how do you think we'll do in the Premiership next season with this side? We'd get creamed in the prem with this side, no ifs or buts about it. That's why whoever (if indeed anyone does) gets control will have a huuuuuuge job trying to re-establish NUFC as a proper football side. You're thinking about it like a fan. You want to go up and stay up. I think Ashley had hoped to build a connection with the club and bring some success, but once that became impossible (by his own doing), he decided to run it without emotion as a business. He wants to rake in the TV money. The way to do that with minimum risk is to maintain a championship team, not a Premier league one. He'll be happy to get relegated again. Because you don't need to spend any money, but you do get Premier League income from the parachute. We also give him a Premier league crowd and shirt sales.

Hopefully we will get promoted (there's a loooooooooong way to go though). But if we do get promoted this season, how do you think we'll do in the Premiership next season with this side? Well I'd like to think we would be sold and buy some more players if we go up. Won't happen imo Ashley wants to keep hold of us until he's turned a profit.

Wigan released Sibierski at the end of last season.

I sang it after everyone was singing it for Robson....people laughed rather than join in like.

They tried the heavy handed approach last season. They had bouncers all over level 7. Anyone with an ounce of sense could see it provoked more bother than it stopped. The (lack of) stewarding up there this season has been top notch.

Woke up to find green stuff all over my undercrackers. Thought I must have had some mushy peas last night. Just been to the bog though, and it's all over one of the towels. Very sore throat too. I must have chunderered.

I brush my teeth twice a day like a good boy, but flossing is a right palava. Just done it for the first time in weeks and my teeth are fucking humming. Got more blood in my mouth than Sly at the end of Rocky. I thought you were only supposed to do it once or twice a week, but these reckon it should be done twice a DAY! What with shaving, showering, gelling, brushing, shitting, pissing, plucking, contact lens inserting and spraying you could spend 2 hours a day in the bathroom...and that's before you start any metrosexual bollocks like mosturising. Does anyone floss twice a day?

Guess it depends on how much use you get out of them. The way I look at it, I'm happy to spend £100 on earphones because I get 2 years out of them and I use them every single day. That's just 14p a day. Ipods sound canny good. The difference between a £20 and £70 pair can be huge, especially with proper sound isolation that seals your ear. Someone said earlier it sounds like Jesus is speaking to you and I know what he means. I remember the moment I got my first pair of Etymotics, I sat on the bus with my mouth open like a mong because it was like Sabbath were playing in my head and I could pick out every instrument across the stage. MP3s are never going to be perfect, but it's like the difference between a good stereo and a clock radio. I know people that even have portable amps to drive the sound from their ipod to their earphones.
