i would just like to say thankyou to newcastle united­ for an absolutely fantastic season,the script has been­ fab,barton,keegan,ashley,wise,shearer,freddie,i have­ been absolutely glued to this site for weeks now,the­ fans and others with their filth,some of it humourous­ some outrageous 1 maybe 2 sensible,special thanks to­ cameron and conolly they would make a good duet,and its­ not over yet till sunday,i can hardly wait,will toon­ rise from the ashes or spiral into a never ending­ abbyss,such excitement,what will happen next season,the­ mind boggles.You know i never ever thought that­ football could be so exciting,i really cant wait for­ the next episode.i shall get in some of those ready­ micro meals for quickness,the othergood thing about­ this is,no advertiseing thats right absolutely none,i­ usually watch coron or emmerdl,but this is much much­ better.ime going to put the cat out now get in my nice­ warm bed and dream of the next episode,oh and a nice­ cup of chocolate.thankyou all.

hey 65 more of the same eh,next season,never say die.

Every toon fan knows that a draw at villa is more than­ enough to save our club! and with Shearer at the helm I­ can only see a solid final day performance! a man of­ Alans stature will neva give up the fight and will give­ it his all to influence the players on the final game­ ov the season. lets be sensible Hull wont pick up­ points against Man Utd's youngsters who will be­ trying to prove themselves to Sir Alex and­ Middlesborough are relying on us to lose. We are in the­ driving seat and no matter wat happens on the final­ day, even if religation comes upon us, I as a Geordie­ for life will be holding my head up high. "Howay­ The Lads"

hey cameron 60,
you were a bit cagey with your­ remarks,the first time newcy gets a chance to be number­ one,then you yes you,take it away from them,just about­ sums up the whole incredible episode.
hey melvin you­ are a shocker,you tell your boss what to do and how­ much he should spend,and then tell him who he should­ hire,what planet are you on.if mr ashley wants to ruin­ the club he has every right to,after all he owns­ it,freddie is sticking the boot in so he can move­ straight back in when the down price is right,wake up­ melvin you and keegan are a matching pair,the club and­ all its fixtures and fittings and yes the fans,belong­ to him.i bet you will all still be there next­ season,throwing your cash at this debacle,yes and­ complaining.be careful mr ashley might just bar you.

shearer always made fun of liverpool so i would like to­ say yaaaaaaaa in your face shearer yere goin down

Chelsea fans were encouraging Bolton in the hope of­ sending Everton down but even with our support they­ stillcontrived to lose!

All 4 sides will lose their final game, the table will­ stay as it is
bye bye boro, bye bye newcastle united.

what alet down those northeast teams are .

What's the difference between Alan Shearer and a­ bucket of @#$%? ­ ­ ­ That's right, the bucket!

boro can escape relegation.COME ON BORO

donneysbeck,
you're having a giraffe aren't­ you?
We have to put up with your nonsense every single­ night.
If you don't like sr.melvin's sensible­ stuff, then take a piece of your own medicine pal . . .­ . . .
. . . . . . . .
freaking SCROLL DOWN!!!!!!!

sr.melvin
Take a bow my son.
Unfortunately, most people­ on here don't take any notice of the sensible stuff­ - they just come on here to stir it and hurl abuse.
How­ did we ever become the 2nd most despised club in­ England!
THAT is what ashley's legacy will be.
So­ many people wil be heartbroken on Sunday, not just at­ our club, but also at the boro - women and children too­ - but to many, this is apparently so funny, it's­ like the greatest sporting event of the year!
I really­ do not understand!
For all my banter, i do not and­ never have wished adversity on ANY club (not even the­ mackems); i guess these people are just retarded,­ they're certainly not real football fans.

57. Good article. Just a shame Hull might make it.­ It's a rugby city for crissake

as a baggie boy already languishing in the dark waters­ of the championship may i be so kind as to offer the­ hand of welcome to Boro and Newcastle. I think both of­ these sides are as fragile as we are and will lack the­ hardness and size of Hull and Sunderland which would­ make the promo faves. Boro would have a better chance­ of coming up as they are more likely to retain a­ nucleus of young players with a set style of play­ deeply ingrained. Newcastle will have to go through a­ massive transition and it may be too much for them.­ They will lose players to ego and others to age. they­ will also have to make a massive financial adjustment­ which will confuse the leadership. Baggies will be back­ and we likely to pass one of sunderland and hull on the­ way back up. i would also like to commend Hull. Like us­ they have tried to play football. And they have shown a­ greater passion though very poor nous in the last half­ of the season.

Look everybody. I'm sorry for making idiotic­ postings, but there's a lot of them around and­ I'm peeved with what's going on at my­ club.

Looky here. Everybody knows that even­ Keegan's appointment was a bad decision on­ Ashley's part, but If Ashley had left Keegan to do­ his job without interference from the board room, and­ the appointment of ( we all despise ) Wise, then we­ wouldn't be in the mess we're in today. Ashley­ should have let Keegan sell the players he wanted to­ sell, keep the players he wanted to keep, and invested­ an addition 15 to 20 mil for further player recruitment­ with a view towards making any necessary changes in the­ January transfer window. By that I mean, let players­ who want to move on leave the club, get rid of some­ dead wood ( from a position of strength, not­ desperation ), and bring in a few players who can do a­ job for the club. Also, try to bring down the average­ age of the 1st team.

Now, however, Ashley must face up­ to the consequences of his mismanagement. I've­ heard it said that a team is only as good as it's­ worst player. For me, Ashley is the weakest link. Just­ like his predecessor, Shepherd, Ashley doesn't have­ what it takes to run a football at this level.­ There's men all over the EPL who run football clubs­ with more success than Ashley, with fewer resources,­ because they know their place and their limitations.­ Ashley just doesn't inspire people, and he comes­ across as being dodgy and arrogant. He seems to be in­ the game for all the wrong reasons.

This is the least­ Mike Ashley needs to do. Openly apologise to the­ supporters of NUFC, appoint a managing director who­ knows the game, to run the club on his behalf - I mean,­ somebody with charisma, like Niall Quinn, and then get­ a manager who is going to at least set the club up with­ the right foundations for the future stability we need.­ Then what you've got to do Mr Ashley is, get your­ face out of the picture and let the foot

this should be very interesting
