Precursor for this was two years ago.
Not thrilled.
Toon Fans
Still, realistically, no-one is going to call it that. Everyone will just call it by its proper name anyway.

Nice twitter from Joey at the bottom.
Newcastle City Council has advised the club that they will not be changing signs on busses/trains etc.
All will remain St. James Park.

Cheapest of cheap populism from the council. We need an occupation.
I'll book my flights now.
Sign Gary Madine.
The Guardian is on to something here.
Good result yesterday.
How much did that invisible forcefield set you guys back? :P
Tim Krul was signed on a free, but the club was ordered to pay 220,000 euros in compensation.
RIP Gary Speed!!!
toon legend, and great guy. loved watching him in the black and white stripes and beyond

Krul is quality
Only a speed bump...
Damn speed bumps.
Half-way through the season, occupying 7th? Sorry to disappoint the haters, I guess.
I quite like that 5under1and-coloured car blowing up. Rather appropriate for the end of Bruce's sorry regime. Thanks for posting it here, Buffy.

1-0 up at half time (Ba strike).
My interweb has the speed of an overloaded dial-up at the moment so can only get commentary and non-moving pics.

Stonewall penalty not given in the first half too for a 'tackle' from Ferdinand on Ba.
Flippin 'eck! Webb has given MUFC TWO yellow cards this half.
3-0 Jones own goal.
Well, you can usually count on the Red Devils to get a late goal...
GET IN THERE!!!!
Over the speed bumps now.
Good game. Nice save by Simpson too.

Think the 'speed bumps' are just about to arrive with ACN tbh but quality result all the same.
The CAN covers five games:
Q.P.R.
at Fulham
at Blackburn
Aston Villa
at Spurs
Players who don't make it out of the group stages will be back for the Spurs match - the only particularly tricky fixture in that list.

Fixture list could be trickier but we'll see how you go I guess.
3-0 and you guys had a certain penalty denied
well done!
why doesn't Ameobi play more?

Because the lad keeps on picking up injuries. He's hardly ever at 100% physically, and that makes it hard for him to string good performances together.
Climbing up the ladder again. QPR clearly missing Joey!
Last February, I wrote:
At the risk of being lynched, I tend to think that Shola is actually a better forward [than Andy Carroll], though he's not a real goal-scorer.
Looking at this season's EPL statistics:
Carroll has played 1045 minutes, for 2 goals and 0 assists.
Ameobi has played 633 minutes, for 1 goal and 2 assists.
Both players have had injury issues. It's possible to understand Shola's better performance as better player management at St. James' Park. But at the moment, the statistics back me up, and I am gloating. Did I mention, "ka-ching!"?
KA-CHING! 
I only just found out that our last silverware was picked up in August 2010, when the lads lifted the Teresa Herrera Trophy. Pics because it happened. Match report.
Whoohoo! One more cup than what's at Highbury!!

Plus more bragging rights over the Joker Park (ex) inhabitants.
We signed a striker. For about 10 million.
I... I don't understand what's going on at the club any more.

I read that and had to check that the date wasn't 1 April.
Are we allowed to have two Demba's?
