I just duplicated the layer / blurred it then dropped the opacity. Nowt special more of quick fix than anything else. Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AHT7UYO0 23mb mind

Don't let it stop you mate, like how you've cleared it up. The more choice the better I guess

All done and sent off around 2pm today guys. Haven't heard if everything was ok but it blown up to around 6ft x 4ft black background and white text. Ended up being a 27mb pdf if anyone's interested in downloading it. Nice photo shopping xXx

Exactly. He expects someone to be as mentalist as him in their approach, AND to look like they won't embarrass him by getting us promoted. is Joey Deacon still alive? He is, and by all accounts doing surprisingly well for himself! Apparently he got into the retail trade, starting selling cheap sports wear, he's put on a little weight since his blue peter... hold on a minute!

I was asking the OP, as everyone on this board, tries to tell me that "Sheareritis" is not a disease in Newcastle. On the OP's post I thought that his/her reply, to my question, may go someway to proving my point! Spoilt now. But your never going to get 100% of the fans answering sensibly or in agreement. You will find some that will blab out the cliché bollocks and it seems that that's what your after, and until someone does your gonna keep asking the same question over and over and over and over......

Serious question, why? Copy n' paste questions. Next!

I'm becoming immune to all this shit. Lies upon lies upon yet more bollocking lies.

So if it's not the threat of being rabbit punched by stevie geeee there's also the risk of being blown up. Friendliest people in the country those scousers like + at Stevie

Blowing up to 300dpi will reduce the image quality (text will be crisp though as I've re-written it) but if he's doing it for nowt there's no harm in trying I guess. Is the other pic you have a photo of the screen? I'll need an email address to send the pdf.

It'll be o.k mate I had my designer head on wouldn't normally blow an image up that big from that size but for this banner it'll be o.k Who will be printing it?

Hmmm, having said all that I've just tried resizing it and I guess for what you want it for it won't be that bad. I'll re-do the font at a larger/bolder size and send it to you as a pdf.

Around 4 - 6ft high, width around 4ft roughly. It would be tricky putting it somehwere in the ground if its too big, so I was thinking on top of one of the 'entrances' to the ground, above that, if you know what I mean. To be honest mate unless the person who did it started at a high res at around A4 portrait (minimum) and you can get that version you've got no hope of blowing it up to 6ft. Resizing the image you've linked to will just turn the image into a blurry mess and the text will be pretty much unreadable. Nice bit of photoshopping mind

Banners tend to be printed at 150dpi so you wouldn't need to go as high 300. What size is it going to be?

Generous amount of snatch, think I'd have been to busy wanking to fight anyone.

Aye he may have been trying to sell it but we've no idea whether the price and conditions attached to any potential sale are reasonable. Indeed, It's seems obvious now that the price he's set is to high (if some of the speculated conditions and debts are to be believed) but if he isn't going to invest in the squad then he'll be even worse off keeping us than he would accepting a lower offer, it's fucking bizarre I don't think I'm sticking my neck out any longer by saying this club will not be sold before the transfer window shuts, no way. Personally (and going by ashleys previous) I think the rotund bastard will be with us right up to the next one where he'll try this bollocks all over again but for less money and be offered less in return. yay!

He has to be trying to sell the club, surely, anything else would be financial suicide!?!?! There's an embargo on any players being bought or sold - so he'll be left with the unsustainable wages = he loses more money Ticket sales are poor - he won't appoint a proper manager = he loses more money We will not be promoted with the current set up (team/staff etc) - lower tv income = he loses money Big brand sponsers will not advertise with a constantly crumbling mess of a club (who in their right mind would?) = he loses money If he doesn't sell at a cut price surely the man must realise he will be well and truly fucked in the samantha janus = anus.

It speaks!

£60,000 , hard life eh Alan Don't let the door... etc etc On another note, Ashley has a PR man!?!?! REALLY!!! a twat surrounded by twats by all accounts then, fucking hell. And who was todays United spokesmen then? a short oranged faced fella 'no news today sorry' It's like Willy wankers secret football factory in there!

Evil prospers when Good Men do nothing.... ...... or summat "Cry havoc and slip the dogs of war etc..." "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!!"

If only they'd communicate a little more like this. Does make you wonder whether his story was broken to try and pries some information from the club?

I suppose it would be better then Hughton... A little bit of sick came out of my mouth then.

Joe Kinnear is to make a sensational return to Newcastle as manager today. Owner Mike Ashley has turned again to the man he asked to take charge last September as the club, whose future remains uncertain, lurched into another unpopular move. In a crushing blow to Alan Shearer which will infuriate already angry fans, the 62-year-old is expected to step into the breach as Newcastle approach life in the Championship without a takeover imminent. Joe Kinnear Would you believe it? Joe Kinnear is set to return to the Newcastle hot-seat Kinnear took charge of 26 matches last season, but was forced to step away from the game when he suffered a heart attack in February which required a triple by-pass operation. The former Wimbledon manager, whose Newcastle contract had expired, has a history of health problems but claimed recently that he was back to full fitness and prepared to become interim manager once again. 'I've gone from bad to being much, much better than I was. I've got the all-clear,' Kinnear said. 'Things are working out well. I feel as fit as a fiddle.' Chris Hughton has been in charge of Newcastle's pre-season matters this summer while Ashley has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to sell the club. He is said to want £100million. Shearer was initially involved in planning for life after his doomed eight-game bid to save the club from relegation but has grown frustrated at the delay of any appointment. Representatives of the former Newcastle and England No 9 insist he is still very keen on taking charge despite Ashley refusing to appoint him on the basis that he may not be the choice of prospective new owners. However, the return of Kinnear casts doubt on his future at St James' Park because the former Match of the Day pundit is unlikely to stay on the bench once the new season is under way. Alan Shearer The people's choice: But Alan Shearer has been left waiting since the end of the season Ashley has antagonised the Toon Army with a series of unpopular appointments but the latest one will also upset players. Goalkeeper Steve Harper claimed this week that Newcastle are 'dying a slow death' and a long list of first-team members have called for the appointment of Shearer. With key players said to be on the verge of revolt over the chaos at the club, captain Nicky Butt admitted that relegation from the Barclays Premier League and the ensuing uncertainty has brought the toughest period of his career. The former Manchester United and England midfielder, who has taken the armband from the departed Michael Owen, said: 'I have never experienced anything like this. I don't think anyone has, in football or at Newcastle United. We just have to wait and keep our fingers crossed. 'It's been a difficult summer. Everyone was disappointed at going down and the way we went down but we've got to try and put that behind us now. The Championship will not be easy and will be a massive challenge we have to match. 'It's difficult for some players because they don't know where their future lies and the job needs someone of Alan's stature. I do feel Alan is favoured by a lot of people and I do feel that he would do a very good job. 'But we're fed up with waiting to see what's going to happen. For the last five or six weeks it's been, "Something is happening at the end of this week, or that week", and it never does. We're all in the same position - young lads or old - no-one knows.' Kinnear's appointment is unlikely to assuage the concerns of Butt and his team-mates unless the club are taken off hold. Ashley had hoped a sale would have been completed by now and long-term commitments appear to have been avoided. There is thought to have been interest in buying the club from Malaysia and America, but Kinnear's reintroduction suggests a takeover is still some way off. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...d.html?ITO=1490 Bollocks surely

I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you!
