NUFC completed the signing of another average player, Leon Best. These players might be ok for the championship but will be weak in the premier league if we get promoted. I dont really like the signing of another striker either as we will likely see Ranger and Carrols development put on hold.

Hope it's Hall for the Best. 
 
Spurs gaffer 'Arry thinks Toon might pick up Beckford at the end of the season when he comes off contract.

Lovenkrands and Carroll getting a brace each

Unbeaten in the League for 15 games.

Reet champion!

Not unbeaten in the league anymore. We are getting hammered by Derby at the moment.

looks like a good round for WBA
it's the spirit of Regis

still think WBA and Newcastle for auto promotion, but it is a prick of a league at the best of times.

Had to happen eventually I guess.
 
However I respect Hughton and the lads for losing this weekend and taking all the bad mojo so that the Nix can secure 4th spot and Spurs can reclaim the same.

Another poor result today. Have the lads lost the plot?

Looking at the match report http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=268470&cc=3436
it looks like we were lucky to get the point.  # of shots is quite telling.
 
Home to coventry and PNE next two games so hopefully two wins to keep the pressure on WBA.

Was somewhat preoccupied on things closer to home, but good to see a sound 3-0 over PNE to keep the pressure on Forest and WBA

(and a clean sweep this weekend for the three best clubs in the world)

Hmmm.

Maybe Cheryl can get a huge settlement and use it to buy out Cashley. She said she would like to own the Toon.

Geordie Pride with Tweedy @ SJP??

Thanks for the link.
 
So she could get 7m pounds?  Enough to buy the Toon from Cashley!

Watford @ Vicarage Rd later today.

No Lovenkrands or Routledge.

Maybe a draw?

Not quite LF1 standard, but let's have a look at the old scoreboard:
 
CLUB P W L D GD Pts Newcastle United 34 21 4 9 40 72 West Bromwich Albion 35 19 7 9 30 66 Nottingham Forest 35 18 7 10 22 64 Swansea City 35 15 6 14 8 59
 
12 more games to go, great goal difference.  Toon should fear no one other than themselves (injuries)

well WBA won but Forest didn't
so
straight return well done.
it would be a catastrophic turn of events to not get auto promotion now.

back were you belong, just need an owner who cares now.

Sc**thorpe and Bristol next. Should be wins from both but at least a win and a draw respectively.

3-0. Another 3 pts thanks to Carrol and Lovenkrands.

Report

"But the Magpies did more than enough to re-establish their four-point advantage over second-placed West Brom and leave themselves needing a maximum of 15 points from their remaining 10 games to clinch promotion."

And have a game in hand over WBA and Forest.

E I E I E I O. Up the Championship we go.

Seems like a game of two halves with a dominant second half but failing to get a winner
 
I know this is rather cockney (and not Geordie) but it is rather apt that Bristol City got two! (snigger)

WHAT is going on at SJP?
 
 
I thought that it was just Dyer and Bowyer who were stupid tw@ts (and of course Barton, oh and Bellamy).  Oh hang on, Carroll's involved as well.
 
So on top of that there is more injury at the back too:
 
 
Might be looking at a bit of a struggle to finish off the season if there are more shenanigans and injuries.
 
C'mon Cheryl buy out Cashley before we have another season in the fizzy pop.

For f**k sake, just read about this, today. Not happy. Carroll is a bit of an idiot to be honest. Already on a assault charge and he goes and does this.

Don't know if I should be happy or annoyed probably both

Mike Cashley's Toon Circus keeps going

(but 3 pts gladly banked)

Big game coming up on Monday.

Last season being a Toon supporter was death by a thousand cuts. This year it's been mostly good but I just wish all the off-field sh!te could get resolved (starting at the top).

Really takes away from what the club (Hughton, squad and the fans) is doing where it counts.
