Oh my gosh I love it so much. Been having viewing parties with my friends for all the USA games, watching the rest on my own. It's a shame no one really seems to be talking about it. 

 

One of the most american things I have ever read. haha.

You can watch women's world cup in the meantime.

 

I watched a bit of the England v Columbia game. Don't get me wrong, the exposure and everything is really good for Women's football and I'm happy that it's becoming more popular and stuff. The teams being on the new FIFA game in September is excellent as well but the quality of the football is very questionable. I've seen better SPL games.

 

Not an adequate replacement for the rollercoaster journey of the Championship / EPL. Hence my comment.

 

The U21's tournament is also not the best. Even with big Gibbo and Kane. 

Is it the 8th August yet? IM BORED OF WAITING. SUMMER IS SHIT WITHOUT FOOTBALL

If I were still in England I'd be annoyed at a lot of our fixtures. Too many long mid week away trips.

 

Charlton away first aint bad though.

 

The FA don't care about fans, at all. We've got ridiculous mid week trips (Cardiff & Brentford spring to mind).

I know Hartlepool play Plymouth (away) on the last game of the season, which is a joke in my eyes.

 

Can't wait for the amount of early kick off's we'll have because it'll be on sky as well. Lost count last season but about 6/7 I think?

 

Fuck sky, Fuck the FA. I still want my 3 points back from 96/97. /rant

Should be a good opening day. We've got Preston away for the first game & apparently a 6k allocation. Should be a good day.

 

Annoyed at the Christmas fixtures for us. Brighton away on the 19th & Blackburn away on Boxing day. We have played at home on boxing day since 2007 so guess it was due.

 

We SHOULD get 18 points from our first 6 games. It's gunna be another long, emotional season....

I should probably get my tickets for this soon as we're gunna go VIP 

Was on the website when they dropped. Added BTTF and the Animated series Batman. Went to checkout.... gone. Furious.

Cheers for the suggestions! sure I'll be asking again for some more closer to the time....

This is the only Dredg record I like. Does that make me a bad person?

 

Same, but I love this record. Can't get away with anything since this really. Stoked I'll be able to get my hands on it (hopefully).

You can go see the bean but keep in mind that activity will take five minutes so you will need to plan a bunch of other stuff.

 

Yeah I gathered. Think I'll have to do my research. or, I could be lazy and just ask for recommendation on here....

Great move for Milner. Way too good to be only playing part time, should slot next to Henderson pretty well.

 

I want Vieira, Garde or even Laudrup. Alas, it looks like it will be McClaren though.

 

I fully expected us to do better since we had 150 days since Pardew left to find someone.

 

At least it shouldn't be Carver though, that's the only plus point in all of this.

 

Laudrup would be great for you guys I think. Just read there that Vieira is out of the picture now and talks are happening this week for Carvers "position at the club". I felt a bit sorry from him to be honest. Can see how much Newcastle means to him.

 

McClaren isn't / wasn't a bad manager, Won us a trophy, got us into Europe twice, to a final and also our highest ever league possition. I think he's lost it a bit now and yes, his type of football is totally boring (or it was for us anyway haha)

Plenty of that in the next few week. Although, Milner to Liverpool should be a good move.

 

Who do you want then? Vieira or our cast off McClaren?

PM'd

It the footy back on yet? I'm bored already...

 

68 days.... 

too stoked for this, i hope REALLY it's not shit 

 

Out on the 19th here isn't it? Showcase on opening night is go.

Airbnb all booked. Now to book flights / pass's. Heading out for a week so we've got time before / after. First time in Chicago for us both, pretty excited! Can anyone recommend good things to do / places to eat / record stores / touristy shit. I need to see that big chrome bean thing ha

So happy I didn't have to go through the turmoil this year. As I said a few pages back, none of my friends (from anywhere!) are going and the line-up IMO is the "worst" it's been for a few years so not too bummed i'm missing it....

 

Next year is 110% though.

I CANT WAIT

Yes, if you drink. 7 x beer prices you end up saving a little and the bathrooms are less crowded.

 

Believe me, I'll drink more than 7 beers... I am English after all!

 

Probably start booking up for this later on in the month before the rest of the lineup gets released. Makes missing fest a bit more bearable & I've always wanted to go to Chicago.

 

Whats the weather like there in September?

Moving on... I we the only two in this topic haha.

I'll just leave this here.....

 

Considering coming over for it this year. Fest is usually my party / holiday of choice but skipping this year... 

Are the VIP tickets worth the extra?

That's just the impression I get of newcastle tbh...

 

Read something last night which basically says when Boro have lost at Wembley ('91, '97 x2) We've been promoted the next season...

My Wembley record is terrible. been three times. lost all three, not scored haha.

 

21 days to go unti fixtures and then August 8/9th can't come quick enough!

Yeah man, Friend was the only one that turned up and the better team won on the day. Party in Trafalgar square on sunday night was amazing and so was everything before the game so at least it was a good weekend minus the game haha. Hats off for norwich, they blocked us out completely ad obviously learned from the two previous meetings this season. I'm still going to burn all my mams Delia smith books and never watch Alan Partridge again...

 

Massive improvement over the last season for us, Karanka did say at the start of the season that we weren't ready this year. Honestly think if we rebuild over the summer (As Bamford, Whitehead, Fredricks,Vossen, Kalas have all gone) We should walk it.

Hopefully Vossen will come back, if we give he the right service and have him up top as a CF he'll ping them in. Just a matter of his wage bill being too high.

 

Yeah, I'd agree with you on that. Apparently Carrol wants to come back? not sure I'd have him though due to injuries. Get rid of all the shit french-men. think alot of your support need to realise that you're not a team competing for champion's league and might not be for a while.

 

Also, looks like the chickens are coming home to roost for FIFA. It's about fucking time!! If Blatter has a shred of dignity (which is a long shot, I know) He'll walk. Even if the "election" for presidency is this Friday......

If you do, do you think Ashley would sell up? Could be nasty at first but could actually revitalise the club overall.

 

You lot bounced back straight away when we both got religated. that was a tough season.

Worst thing I thought about TIHC is that once you're in, you can't leave the venue. Don't know if that has changed now. WE only had 4 days in Philly and wanted to go out and see some things / whatever and this obviously stopped us & I missed some bands early on as we decided a gap between one band we wanted to see and the next band later on in the day was too much just to be sat around inside there spending $6 on a really small beers, so i missed some bands i was looking forward to.

 

TL;DR : Why don't they have pass outs, it's fucking stupid.
