+1. I started going to SJP in 1958 but enough is enough.

However I'll be back when Ashley's had his fill of Geordie blood.

And Supa Al has 22 points from 11 league games at Crystal Palace. What were they thinking of?

There's only one decent team in the North East:

This will cheer you up. Turn the colour knob all the way down to black and white on your telly, pretend NUFC signed Defoe and enjoy the video

Quite frankly though I'm past caring and will remain so for as long as Ashley is the owner.

Not that I've had a flutter for a long, long, time but I see 11-1 is currently offered for NUFC to be relegated.

Very tempting...

Just as long Leeds never pollute the premiership ever again I'll be happy. It'd be nice they went non-conference.

It's gone down to even odds now, just after Ashely laid a 34m pound bet.

I want us to go down - it's the only way to mess with Ashley's plan.

The last 3 matches don't look too bad on paper but everyone will be looking forward to playing NUFC now. Hopefully all the player contracts have clauses for 50% pay cuts in the event of relegation. Where is Joe Kinnear these days?

"There was absolutely no intent to hurt Jamie or get sent off" Williamson reportedly muttered, while sprinting from his sending-off directly to Ladbrokes.
