Spurs into the top 4.
p.s. Are you an Arsenal supporter Stu?

No I am a Newcastle supporter. I now lived in London for most of my life but only go to London games if Newcastle are playing away (which was a painful experience between 1997-2001 as we didn't win once in that time)

Been a painful experience all my bloody life.

Well I reckon Newcastle Utd faces its most promising season since Sir Bobby was in charge, and potentially its most promising period for much longer, if the new chairman turns out to be good.

As for their manager, Sam Allardyce has proved that he can get teams up into the back end of the top four/five, but can he do better than that? Only time will tell.

Come on the Keegan years were not all bad (if you forget about squandering a twelve point lead in February in the Premiership)

Should never had got rid of Sir Bobby - Sourmess and Rodent hardly took the club forward.

Sam seems to be doing alright

I wonder if we win the Premiership, F A Cup, League Cup and Champions League in 2009, they will call it "Fat Sams Grand Slam"

I tend to agree with that one. They seemed to panic when they got rid of him, being 'only' mid-table if I remember rightly!

i watched consett afc against a newcastle accadmy side on saturday.
christ i dont know what kenny wharton is doing with this crop of young uns.they showed no spirit or passion to justify the honour of wearing the black and white stripes.
copletely outclassed by a half decent consett team 5-1.
young lua lua looked half decent though.

Looks like chelsea have got lots of injuries going into the new season with terry also likely to miss the start of the
season.

I may have agreed 10 years ago, but the man is in his seventies , it was time for him to step down.

Nice to see cheating scam lose. Well done Man City. Hopefully the first of many defeats.
Anyone know how Benni McCarthy is as it looked like a nasty injury??? Didn't like the way he collapsed minutes later.
