the IP thing with the BBC site isnt working any other ways? streams?

excellent! im just hoping it doesnt end up being a total blowout and tomorrow will be a good day

ummm no? why would it be?

Hey all, I currently live just outside New York City, and will be attending University in Montreal starting in about 2 weeks. Is anyone here from either of those areas or know of any pubs that regularly would show Newcastle games? I seem to remember a large group of Mags going to this one pub in New York City but I'm not quite sure.

Sounds like a more accurate description of Spurs to me

Serious Mahjoob? Come on man. Pretty impressive. They got it into the mainstream media this time!

As if this season isn't crocked enough already, as a Newcastle fan, I am imposing a deadline of the end of the week for a new owner to be put in place and for Shearer to be installed as manager. If this does not happen, I think we can safely assume that this coming season will be a train wreck of massive proportions (if it wont be already). God help us all.

Duff's goal on the last game of the season, away to Aston Villa Seriously though, Edgars goal against Man U was pretty nice

Conversation between Shepherd and Ashley, circa 2 years ago: Shepherd: Oh christ, the Newcastle fans hate me, Owens going to be a flop, Shearers retired, Roeder is shit, what can I do? Ashley: Let me help! I'll buy the team from you, run it into the ground, and when you buy it back from me in two years, you'll look like more of a messiah than Kevin fucking Keegan! Shepherd: Oh thats a brilliant idea! Let me just appoint Sam Allardyce first, so then you can sack him right before the January transfer window claiming you had to get rid of him cause he wasn't your signing, that will really fuck the team up.

The new keepers kit is the same colors as my favorite baseball team -- The New York Mets, also perennial underachievers. Perhaps there is a conspiracy?!

Milners slipped again!

If Keegan came back... I'd love it, I'd absolutely love it

That's a revelation... No like, I've known that its been bad and its getting late, but taking a look at the exact number of days left really made it hit me.

We kick off at West Brom in approximately 39 days. Our preseason training starts by next week. Our first friendly is in 12 days against Plymouth. Ok so lets assume, that by some stretch of magic, Ashley manages to sell the club exactly one week from today, which would take us to July 6th. Assuming general bureaucratic slowness it takes another week for everything to be settled and for Shearer to be officially installed as manager. This leaves Shearer with only 25 days to prepare his squad for a new season, all while trying to bring in multitudes of new players to replace the multitudes of players who will be leaving (Owen, Martins, Bassong, Viduka, Coloccini, Lovenkrads, etc.). We are seriously, royally, fucked.

linked to newcastle yet?

What are the odds for Dunga to be sacked by September?

Being a half Yank half Geordie hybrid, I have to be rooting for the USA here. Even though their chances are dismal!

SSN I think keeping Martins would be very helpful to staying up, I'd take him over Shola any day. If he stays, and stays healthy, I think he could get somewhere around 20 goals.

haha as soon as i posted it I thought I'd overestimated Shola, but I'm sure somewhere like Stoke, Burnley, or QPR or something would overvalue him than he was.

Kevin Nolan - 2 million Joey Barton - 3 million Jonas Gutierrez - 3 million Geremi - 1/2 million Jose Enrique - 2 million Coloccini - 4 million Obafemi Martins - 6 million Shola Ameobi - 3 million Xisco - 1 million Total: 24.5 million Not a bad haul to be spent on players, and I think that I was a little conservative in my estimates if anything

They should just give the club away as a consolation prize on a quiz show

Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan, Sir Bobby Robson, and if thats still not enough, Sting, must combine their fortunes to buy NUFC from Mike Ashley for 100 million pounds. This would be the perfect solution to bring the club forward, ensuring it was run by people who really had their heart in the club.

Ruud to Newcastle - 2 million confirmed SSN
