Quote ="tiger2000"No chance on the pre season form... www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009 ... ton-orient'" Yeah 1 pre-season knockabout gives a real good indication. To be honest I can't see Newcastle winning it, but definitely think the quality is there to wins promotion through the play-offs.

With no manager, no new signings, the immanent departure of all the big money players so that they can cut the wage bill Newcastle are DOOMED!!!

Please don't mate, it's bad enough The Sun telling me that every day!







Joking apart they'll be fine, hopefully some of the better players will keep faith (well, not Martins!

), and the club can challenge this season, backed as always by the best fans in the country.

Well according to the bookies Middlesbrough and W.B.A are the favorites to go back up with Newcastle out at 6/1, personally I hope they do get back up, they are a massive club, but I just can't seeing them getting promoted next season with all the off the field problems.

City, Burnely definites to go down. Birmingham & Wigan as maybes.

Newcastle, Sheff Utd & Boro to come up.

Tbf you and the bookies are prob right (tempted to stick a tenner on though at those odds), I'm just keeping blind faith though really.

We all do it, I dont know if I dare type this but......im a Leeds united fan....

Edited for accuracy. Your the same as me!!

Nothing wrong with that mate, great club and still with massive potential to get back where they belong. Bigger then most Championship and PL clubs, few teams would take 50,000 to Wembley for a League One Final (no disrespect to that league). And from what I read they could have taken even more.

Ive just heard the sad news that sir Bobby robson has passed away, i think everyone who even has a slight interest in football would agree that Sir Bobby is a true great.

Absolutely, am gutted at the news.

Legend of a man and manager, will never be another like him.

Very sad indeed.

Sky at 1.15 today.

Sorry to hear about Sir Bobby. I'm no lover of Football but he seemed to me to represent all that was good in the game. A real gentleman and unfairly savaged by the media.

Sounds like City got beat this afti.

a 3-0 spanking! Brown will use the "we made a lot of changes excuse"

They might aswell have not turned up, leaving Geovanni and Turner on the bench.

I feel sorry for the fans!

atleast they can fly home now and all their new signings can meet up with the rest of the squad

We did tho, players like Featherstone, Devitt, Atkinson, Cairney, Doyle and Warner are all reserve team players

We need to sign 2 quality strikers cause Folan isnt good enough and Cousin is far too inconsistent, we looked good in patches but we give the ball away to easy

seems a fair reflection to me; pre-season games mean nothing - ie spurs last season are the best example

I'm sure some people hate city more than fc on here

i know this is a rugby forum but thought i'd have my 2 pennorth about said subject.

side that gets promoted and at present has only actually paid a fee for 1 striker (daniel cousin, if you can call him that) in one full season and a pre season just isnt going to survive!!!!

Maybe it's something to do with the fact that the chairman doesn't want to live beyond the club's means. When you see Portsmouth selling nearly £80million worth of players in 9 months and still in debt, it makes you realise that running a club along sound business principles is a very good idea, despite the fact it may result in relegation. Even if it does, hey, we've had worse days!
