Gloom to deepen on Tyneside?
According to Sportinglife we are doomed tonight
By Jonathan Turner
The general feeling seems to be that Newcastle have improved under Joe Kinnear but should they really be odds-on across the board for Tuesday night’s clash with West Brom?

Due Dilligence Completed?
Apparently JFK has confirmed due dilligence has been completed by all interested parties for NUFC and Ashley will decide this week who to flog the club to. Bearing in mind Joe’s previous claims regarding takeovers, we suggest this is taken with a substantial pinch of salt but it is clearly food for thought after a woeful weekend.
Are we as s**t as Derby?
Food for thought from nufc.com
This really is a must-win game - failing to take all three points would mean that Newcastle had won just one of their first ten fixtures this season. In case you don’t think that’s a concern, take a look at our record in the first nine Premier League games: Drew/Won/Lost/Lost/Lost/Lost/Drew/Drew/Lost = 6 points And then take a look at this...

So it continues
OK so Sunderland over reacted to their ‘giant killing’ of Newcastle on Saturday, I suppose if you havent won at home in 28 years against your big brother then you do it probably came as a bit of a shock.
The FA surely need to step in now as s++t like this is commonplace at the SOS for the Derbys. Spitting and Hurling coins - did they not realise they were in the middle of a credit...

Gaz's Derby Day Blog - Final Update
After a few post-match beers with a mixture of Mags and Mackems, general concencus agrees we were poor and the Mackems deserve their victory. Its been 28 years in the making and those Mackems with sense will be out celebrating and enjoying their day. The match itself was a mixed bag, Cisse caused us problems we didn’t deal with and we lacked any sort of creativity in the midfield, who, to a...

Poor first 25 leading to a probably deserved goal but Strollers equaliser looked cracking from the opposite end and we stepped up after. We need more of that second half.

Mackems have attempted to smash through the barriers in the concourse but failed as the Mags laughed at them. Same team from what I can see (correct me if I’m wrong) with Jonas back on the bench. Faded seats galore around the SoS. Ground is in DIRE need of a revamp but the view is spot on - direct behind the goal 11 rows back. Shay looks a picture in banana yellow just in front of me.
