The Newcastle United thread

personally, they should disband Newcastle and burn the stadium and all grounds to ashes in order to save the FA from further embarassment caused by said team.

Sir Bobby Robson RIP

The death of former Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson was announced on Friday morning. He was 76.

Bobby at St.James's Park last Sunday

The following statement has been released:

"It is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.

"He died very peacefully this morning at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him.
"Sir Bobby's funeral will be private and for family members only. A thanksgiving service in celebration of Sir Bobby's life will be held at a later date for his many friends and colleagues.
"Lady Robson and the family would very much appreciate it if their privacy could be respected at this difficult time."

Newcastle United have announced the following:

Anyone wishing to lay tributes to Sir Bobby may gain access to St James Park today (Friday) until 5pm and Saturday/Sunday 9am - 5pm via the Tunnel access at the North West Corner of the Stadium.

Immediate tributes were paid across the footballing world from former managerial rivals such as Sir Alex Ferguson, ex colleagues including Jose Mourinho and other national team bosses, notably Fabio Capello.

Robson's former clubs including PSV and Barcelona have also released statements passing on their condolences.

Staff and players at the NUFC training ground observed a minute's silence when news of his passing was confirmed.

And out in China, the Asia Trophy game between West Ham and Beijing Guoan was preceded by a minute's silence, while all 22 players wore black armbands.

That tribute was especially poignant for one of the West Ham XI, Kieron Dyer - who played under SBR at SJP.
Bobby's name will live on in the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, established to aid the detection and treatment of cancer here in the North East.

Doubtless Newcastle's opening Championship fixture will become the focus for many tributes, when United travel to the Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion - the club Bobby played for between 1956 and 1962.


Alan Shearer, Friday July 31st: "He was a great man, a winner and a battler and he saved my Newcastle career."

Good vs Bad.

See that is the good side of our club, the fans, the passion & love for the game & heroes that came and gone from the club. You'll never see anything like it anywere (exept Liverpool) as their fans are alot like us (till they start winning).
Tha Bad side:
From The Chronicle, Monday:
Toon tycoon Mike Ashley
The Chronicle revealed on Friday how bean counters at Gallowgate had informed players they faced a five-hour bus trip to Tayside for their friendly with Dundee United.

But Ashley relented and United flew to Dundee.





By the way, some news on the street, the FA might force the fu*ker to sell the club under FA supervision to make sure of his intentions (a bit like the UN watching the Iranian elections).
