Ths is why i never put any CURRENT players on my toon tops. I go with classic players.

My away top has Dabizas 34 on it. Last seasons home Albert 27 & this seasons home has yet to be decided.

That's a good idea but I love a lot of our current players like Cabaye and Ameobi but am too afraid they'll leave, so don't get their names on my back. If I got a classic player it'd need to be a player who played when I was actually aware of what was going on at Newcastle (not when my parents took me and I didn't really have a clue what was happening).

So true! However being the great sister I am the signed Shearer shirt I got from his final season was given to my brother for his 21st instead...

That's well cool! My cousin has the shirt that Shay Given wore in his last game for us when we lost 5-1 to Liverpool at home and it's signed by him with a little message to my cousin. It still has the grass stains and from that day. Not as good as a Shearer shirt when you compare the circumstances but still cool.

Still epic.

I've got my own Newcastle shirt from a few seasons back but no name/number on back...

Yeah old news but we put a bid in for Douglas.

I'm telling you, that guy is crazy when it comes to tackling, but it might be a good thing. WE have strength within the squad.

But who will Douglas replace? He's a central defender, so he could replace williamson.

Dabizas & Albert are from when i can remember

I've had an Andreas Anderson and an Albert Luque shirt in the past

I'm thinking of getting the Colo kit this year, mainly because I have the same long, curly hair thing going on. Not to mention he's the club captain coming off an extremely good season!

I can see what you guys mean about players that leave, though. I have a baseball jersey for the local team that I can't wear anymore because he went to a rival side...

[KingGoonIan]

The only name I ever got was Bellamy 10

The white-water rafting video on the official website is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
The banter between them all is top class.

We've got a promising young (19 y/o) French striker/winger on trial at the moment by the name of Anthony Koura (iirc). Capped at all age levels so far and scored 2 in a reserves game.

Haha and to think, i'm seriously considering sticking on a bet on newcastle to finish top 2 this year (preferably 2nd). To finish behind a manchester club you can get about 80/1

Theres no more value in the handicap and top 4 betting market tho

Question is, where will be focusing our efforts? Will it just be a run of the mill season in both the cups and the league with average finishing positions, or will we mount a serious challenge for a cup/league position? We might even be relegated hahahaha.


I want to stick on another pure wedge this year (had some money on newcy top 4 @ about 66/1 last season) and not entirely sure what we will realistically challenge for Any ideas tsr peeps?

[James A]

I think if we use the 4-3-3 formation on a regular basis along with keeping our 1st team players fit, then i don't see why we can't match last seasons' success (even if the likes of liverpool step it up a notch)
