my dad said latics were quite good. he said he was surprised only 17 odd thou turned up tho (he was one of plenty who got free tickets).
where do you think latics need to strengthen in the summer?
got to be disappointed with the finish.
when i was back home the fans were going on about european football at the jjb.

When we beat Hull at home we went clear in 7th with a game in hand and an easier run than the sides round us. We lost games we SHOULD have been winning like Blackburn, Stoke and West Brom. Still, 11th place is better than last year so we're slowly improving.

Valencia is no doubt going and so we need a right winger (talk of Pennant which would be ok), two new strikers with one in the target man mould and another left sider to back up N'Zogbia. That should see us right.

So who's going to be there at the start of the Championship Season?...

Newcastle: Harper, Coloccini, Steven Taylor, Edgar, Duff, Guthrie, Nolan (Owen 66), Butt, Lovenkrands (Jose Enrique 57), Viduka (Ameobi 75), Martins.
Subs Not Used: Krul, Smith, Gutierrez, Ryan Taylor.

At a guess most of them as they don't have relegation clauses in there contracts and surly no one would be stupid enough to buy these players? As they said on the radio who will pay the likes of Owen (120k), Butt (75k), Nolan (50k) etc in the championship

Butt 75k?!?!?!



£10 a week is too much for him at the moment

sounds just like heskey
if i was a latics fan i'd be expecting mid table as a minimum. latics won't go down as i've said on here before.
i wouldnt be happy swapping valencia for pennant.

I was reading that Xsico is on 65k a week and he doesn't even play The only way Newcastle will be able to offload these players is if they pay a % of the players wage ala Leeds, lets just hope they go the same way as dirty Leeds

Newcastle went out with a whimper. Appalling 2nd half. At least they can clear out the dead wood. If you're a Newcastle fan you've got to hope that they don't slide into financial oblivion.

Agree with you Ian, the 2nd half was awful no urgency to get a result at all.
