Afraid not, we've got dispensation, the logistics of segregating the lower tier is such that shifting away fans pitchside isn't currently feasible.

Partly where the fans are, partly the deliberately stern stewarding, partly too many day-trippers/stag dos etc. and partly years of pretty underwhelming football on display. We're at our best when we're over-achieving. Going into games as the underdog and either seeing our team defy the odds, or...

Cabaye and Townsend were superb for us.

Surely Hodgson will identify Newcastle as their best chance of points on the horizon. Hoping they come to St James with an air of desperation that we can take advantage of, but with players like Benteke, Cabaye, Townsend, and Zaha they have players who can provide a match winning performance...

I'd highly recommend coming up for the weekend, you'll have a blast. No, you're still up in the Gods. Segregating our lower tier isn't feasible at the minute so we were given dispensation by the FA/Premier League. Shame like because the atmosphere would be much, much better if the crowd could...

Away days are great if you've never been there before, it's a cathedral of a stadium and/or the place is a good night out. That's why I Championship so much fun. Swansea ticks none of those for me. Identikit plastic stadium, parochial town filled with wannabe hardmen and horrific lasses, hours...

Oh there's definitely a decent number of exiled Geordies in London, I used to be one myself. Lived there 7 years until I wanted to buy a house and realised for the price of a 1 bed flat I can could be part of the landed gentry up North. Feel for the lads who travelled to the Liberty Stadium on...

Pretty impressive given the distance and the time. Sky have been shocking to us this season, away trips to yourselves, Swansea and Southampton moved to Sundays, just for tv audiences.

Wasn't it a record attendance for the AMEX yesterday?

Yedlin was already on the ground, Hemed stepped forward onto Yedlin's leg when he could have avoided him. Hemed had been squaring off with Yedlin 5-10 minutes earlier. Hemed didn't immediately apologise, which is what I would have done if I'd accidentally stumbled onto an opposition player's...

Shelvey wasn't looking at Alli when he trod on his foot.

Aye Atsu's a bit of a Match of the Day player. When he's good, he's very good, but when he's bad he's Stephen Glass. (one for the kids there) Re: Shelvey, makes sense. It's so frustrating because much of the rest of the team are good lads, who work hard and carry themselves well. Shelvey's...

I think the trouble is reputation. Shelvey has a reputation for being a nasty player (and rightly so), Hemed doesn't. However, objectively, both players were involved with their counterpart during the game leading up to the incident, both players were pointedly looking away from the counterpart...

Congrats on the win lads, you can't say you didn't graft for it. I think but for a bad bit of defending we'd have earned a 0-0, and had our forward players not had an off day we would have earned a 1-1. Can't complain too much when our forwards didn't really test the home 'keeper. Joselu is...

Yedlin and Hemed had been simmering for most of the game. It's a deliberate, petulant stamp. That said, "stamp" suggests a much more forceful motion, both Shelvey and Hemed's were more like standing, or treading. Not violent or particularly dangerous, but sly and petty. If Shelvey's deserved a 3...

Can't open that at work, what's the tweet from the highly reliable Andy Naylor? The same Andy Naylor that claims Newcastle fans were expecting a European placed finish to the season because of our decent start, despite that being unmitigated horse shit. :lolol:

Krul is one of those 'keepers that occasionally has an unbelievable game. I remember his debut against Palermo and a game against Spurs where his heroics won us a game on another day we could easily have heavily lost. However he's not great at crosses or distribution and latterly his...

For a club like yours the steps should surely be; 1. Promotion 2. Survival 3. Consolidation 4. Establish 5. Aim towards the limit of your capability Any step may take a few years, you could skip a step, or you may need a couple of goes to achieve any one of them. This season survival is the...

RLC isn't a striker. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruben-loftus-cheek/profil/spieler/202886

We (Newcastle) have made our first real foray into the window. Florian Lejeune, a Centre back from Eibar. Guess he'll be among 4 vying for the 2 spots with Hanley being sold back to a Championship side. Rumours he'll go to Birmingham for £5-6m now that 'Arry's missed out on Terry, but I'd be...
