well, im a newcastle fan. and sadly, very sadly slowly coming to terms with the idea of blackpool away on a frosty january tuesday night etc.
who else is a championship team supporter? so atleast ive got some lower league friends to discuss the season with instead of the glory supporters.
hi, im nic, im a newcastle fan, ive been premier league sober for 20 hours.

Now Nic,
i support a championship team also. Semi local rivals Middlesbrough. Although i came to terms with relegation around a month ago it's still hard.
Looking forward for the new season in a strange way

its going to be interesting for sure. im looking forward to it but for a different reason. im more interested in what is going to happen at newcastle over the summer.
shame to see boro going down. they are not like sunderland and i respect the chairman for the faith he puts in southgate. same as newcastle, players let the team and the fans down.
its going to be a tough season for sure. as a proper fan i will follow the toon no matter what. i dont normally post much up in here as ive found if you dont support man u or liverpool your a nobody in the world of football and your opinions matter not a lot. the same cant be said for championship fans. true football fans are those in the lower leagues. or those that have supported their team through the good and the bad. im proud to be a newcastle fan, not happy to be in the championship, but hoping to have some good battling football matches.
toon mid table would be alright by my book.

Hopefully there is going to be a whole team overhaul over the summer, getting rid of the shit and the ones that don't want to be there.
Next season isn't going to be easy and I don't think we will get promotion either.If we get a good mid table finish, I'll be happy with that.

too be pefectly honest i think it would be best fpr both clubs to get rid of the dead wood over the summer. Buy squads which wll compete in the league but not go up.
Then build on the good from the season before and spend well over the summer and push the season after.
I really don't want middlesbrough to go back up next year as we need a season of stability and building the team properly

You're not happy unless you're playing the victim are you Nic? 
I don't support Liverpool or United and I enjoy the banter in here, in fact the majority don't support United or Liverpool.

yeah, work on the squads so there is more of a future in the team than just get in loads of 30 year old ex premier league players just to win promotion again. then suffer the season after etc etc etc.
who do you think will leave boro?

no i didnt mean so much on here. i meant the people i know. when a football discussion starts, its best not to mention i support newcastle, and just sit and listen to them whine on about man u and liverpool.

I hope Adam Johnson moves to somewhere where he might actually get a game, he's seems to be a skillful lad, deserves a chance imo.

lol these two bits crack me up coming from a newcastle fan:
what is wrong with nial quinn? a man who gave thousands to charity and does a lot of work in the community. does he not deserve respect?
and true football fans like the sunderland fans who have had to put up with being shit for years? man up get used to it

I'm not a lower leagues fanatic but I support Corinthians, we've had our ups and our downs, we went from being the best team in South America 2005 to being relegated to the second tier of Brazilian football in 07, bounced straight back up in 08 though and won the Sao Paolo state championship early this year.
Maybe the best thing for us was being relegated, having a clearout of the rubbish that previous managers signed, and allowing Mano Menezes time to rebuild, which he has and has signed Ronaldo (revived his career), Douglas and Elias, the 3 best players of our team, so things are looking good for us at the mo and I'm looking forward to the Brasiliero 2009, which we have took 4 points from the first 3 games so far with a draw against Fluminense, a loss against Internacional and we beat Barueri Saturday night.

I really expected Newcastle to scrape it on the final day and stay in the premier league. No matter what anyone says they are a big club, its just they have been in decline since Robson was sacked. Still it now gives them the chance to get rid of some of the dead wood thats been rotting there for years.

If those wage figures are correct, Newcastle have been GROSSLY mis-managed.
