I'm so heartsick about all this just now i cannot even bring myself to post anything,even poking fun at myself and the Toon......

The loss to West Ham?

Yes mate,on top of the all the bother with the ownership and the lack of a manager, we are becoming more of a laughing stock by the minute,never mind the day

Try supporting Notts County who havn't brought a player in 4 years and are stuck in league 2.. Theres worse clubs than the Toon

Oh i know this De Niro,i am lucky to live in a city with a "big" club as it were.

Just how many "big" clubs go on like us?

Crap again last night!

Joe Kinnear


Please tell me i'm dreaming this?


Martins out for up to 6 weeks as well

You'll love him if he turns your fortunes around..

Good too see Utd kick start there season.. Toon lose again sorry Yogi

We're top of the league. Since we were relegated from the Championship I genuinly thought we'd still struggle in League 1 too. But we're doing well. Not always playing pretty but 9 wins from 10 games aint bad.

And you sold your two best strikers,so your doing well. Not too sure who you brought though.
