Geordie Saint

Kasper Schmeichel touched on the subject in yesterday's  football focus.  Said "Yes the business side of it is important but it should also be a passion project".

It does show not ALL rich owners are bad.
A very proud moment for the current owner, son of the previous owner who tragically died in the helicopter accident.
As for Newcastle, just as well they picked up in the run in or it could have been the Championship.
Aye, like a few potentially "big" clubs have been content just making up the numbers.
Been a few years since most people, outside the support, could name many of their players and see them involved in anything worth talking about. 

Well done Leicester. Stuff of dreams for their fans. Looked certs for relegation in the not too distant past and now they've seen their club win the premier league and FA cup. The blueprint of an ambitious, well ran club. Sadly the polar opposite of my home club Newcastle who merely exist and are happy to finish 17th for eternity ☹️.

Leicester 0-3 Newcastle, never seen that coming.
Another end of season collapse from Leicester? 

Cheers. I know I'm getting on a bit but I certainly wasn't at any of the last three in the 60s ☺. I don't recall such a glut of meetings around the turn of the the century from 90s to 2000's but as I say, I'm getting on. I'm sure it was the 2001 game though. Thanks again.

There is also a bit of a connection with Norwich thru us selling them Tommy Bryceland(1962),Jim Blair(1972),Simon Lappin and also Kenny McLean making it to Carrow Rd via Aberdeen.
Jim Blair started in the Norwich team that lost 1-0 to Spurs in the 1973 League Cup Final.
 

Yes was indeed remarkable is still the First and only time that a team has won an european cup in their First participation. We also won the european supercup that season against PSV Eindhoven. Those where the days😁

Is it cos we haven't played those games and so not won the points...yet?

Once asked if I could borrow Batman forever but they said no, I had to bring it back next day.

THANK YOU ALL On behalf of Susan, Graeme and Gordian and the Black and White Magazine team, we’d like to thank everyone who turned out to bid a Saints farewell to Gordian Mothersole today. The scenes at St Mirren Park and Houston cemetery will never be forgotten. To see the entire first team, Jim Goodwin, management, directors, coaching staff and friends line the stands and street to pay tribute was simply stunning. Sincere thanks go to all members of the St Mirren Community. Jack

Aye, was a good week that. Was at the 1st two. Carlisle was my first ever away game with Newcastle. Went as a 15 year old in 1982. Terrible showing and a 2-0 defeat in the old 2nd division. The regular away trippers around me were seething at such a display but I was just thrilled to be at an actual away game. Can remember one visit not too many years ago for a 'friendly' when we received a less than warm welcome. Despite that I generally want Carlisle to do well.

😃

Will soon be very difficult for a white middleaged man to get a job on telly soon, it is possible that the networks are trying a tad too hard.

Try that. That vendor has an incredible catalogue of retro shirts for scottish clubs.

Good job they won't meet Coventry (unless it's in the cup) next season. That Jimmy Hill statue would have been getting pulled down by the mackems Colston style. They hate him and still hold a grudge from the 70s. He was Cov chairman and they were playing Bristol City. Both teams were in the relegation battle with Sunderland. The Cov game ko'd late and played out the draw both teams needed to stay up at Sunderlands expense. Claims of conspiracy of course.

Slightly off topic, sorry, but anyone know if buying a 1983/84 style saints top is possible anywhere? It was the Adidas 2 stripe one with the Grahams Buses logo on, although getting one with such logo on is no doubt asking a bit too much. Wore that shirt 1st season I watched saints and I think it was a great shirt.

While I'd love it to happen. I think there's little/no chance of this becoming reality. Why would he? Why would any established premier league player join a club with no other aim than to avoid the drop? Only players that might fancy a stint at NUFC are those up and coming/from abroad who can use it as a stepping stone. A club that simply does nothing other than exist and make the numbers up under the current regime.
