One to look forward to on TV this evening. Amazing that in all the games against West Brom, we have only met them in the FA Cup 4 times, a home defeat losing twice away. Our only win was at the Hawthorns, 3-0 in the 5th round on our way to a final where Keegan scored twice for Liverpool in a...

I don't know if anyone has experience of this but I have been the subject of a dash cam submission just after mother in law's funeral. Is 2.25 metres enough room to give a cyclist when driving at about 20 mph and has anyone contested that sort of thing?

So Bruce blaming the fixture list and starting an investigation. Remember this after Leicester? " 'In 20 years in management I don't think I've known a crazy 15 minutes like that ..... four players going down with injury. It was bizarre." OK, so some of us would point to the injury list under...

So, the window opens in a few hours time with a mix of reported targets. How long before a lazy journalist suggests that Andy Carroll will return to Tyneside?

It looks like Chi Onwurah will still be holding Ashley to account.

One of those idle thoughts. I was just looking through and see that there are 7 former NUFC players currently managing in the top 4 leagues. Does anyone know what the record is? Just for the record, they are as follows: Parker - Fulham Woodgate - Boro Bowyer - Charlton Hodges - AFC Wimbledon...

Just kicking off with this one, we need to set the scene. With all the rain, golf is off so looking for something to do on Saturday afternoon. Have the joint of grass fed Aberdeen Angus ready for my mother's birthday Sunday lunch, veggies won't take long to buy, no other major sport as far as I...

Since nobody else has started a thread, I may as well. Defeat by 7 goals puts Brucey's boys back in the bottom 3 but what a result on Friday to get them out of the relegation zone. A win by 9 goals would put them up to 13th but a Wolves win could put them up to 6th. In other news, and far...

Nobody can miss the fact that a certain Michael Owen (not the Welsh and Lions rugby forward) has a new book out. He seems such a bitter little man.

OK, so the deadline is 9th August at 17.00, we have 11 days left. It might be a time to start the summary of activity. Out Rondon - loan finished Kenedy - loan finished Barreca - loan finished Diame - contract expired Yarney - contract expired Roberts - contract expired Ayoze - £30 million...

It looks like some of those regular attenders, not boycotting like the rest of us, have some protests of their own over what has happened so far in the summer. It will be a huge blow to Ashley and Charnley to have heard that the now famous flags will not be taken to the ground for the first...

Just a thought and I don't know if people will run with it but it could be a bit of fun. There are a few options as to who the next NUFC manager could be, perhaps a few categories? 1. Who would you like to see appointed next week if taken over by oil rich multi-billionaire 2. Who is the best...

There has been some fantastic coverage of the commemorations both yesterday and today. Even remotely, it is hard not to be emotional when hearing the stories of the few survivors who remain, now in their 90s but paradoxically radiant in their humbleness. For 75 years they have lived with the...

If the takeover talk comes to something, it could be us soon. Just gone to 1-0 to Chelsea. How ironic that Giroud should get the opener and potential winner. Arsenal were reported to have sold him for £18 million, they may have saved a few million on wages. It may have lost them well over...

I was drawn to the reaction of Forest supporters against Dwight Gayle who scored for West Brom before being sent off. Apparently forest supporters are still aggrieved about Gayle's dive against them earlier in the season. It struck me as ironic after Lansbury's Oscar winning performances against...

Just as a curiosity, of the current Premier League clubs, Fulham have more points against us than against any other side, the next closest being Everton with 29 points in 28 games against them. Overall, only Bolton have given Fulham more Premier League points than we have, at 43 in 22 games...

Just followed up on a chat with someone to check out NUFC form. I confess to being surprised:

If anyone hasn't see it, here are a couple of links from Sky: 1. Leeds goal https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/aston-villa/11706082/controversy-at-elland-road 2. Villa goal...

OK, we're safe with 2 televised games still to come. At the bottom of the table is the remaining issue of who goes down. Next up, we play Brighton and could put an almost fatal blow in to former manager Chris Hughton but Cardiff still have to win to maintain pressure on them. We were the last...

After this weekend, NUFC are now mathematically safe from relegation after Cardiff's failure to pick up a point at home to Liverpool, at least barring any points deduction that might come our way, which seems highly unlikely. Ashley's investment of £5m or so in wages for Rafa, offset by a net...
