Club size is not merely driven by silverware – if so then Portsmouth are the second biggest club in the England!

Other fans attempt to mock the Geordie faithful – by suggesting they are not a BIG Club due to our lack of success ; this simply highlights their limited intelligence.

To arrive at this opinion without taking Turnover/Profit into cosideration is ridiculous!

3rd Biggest Crowd in league – without any success

5th Largest Turnover – without any success

Not a big club – are you having a laugh !?!

PS: alreet MALA – hows OZ ?!?!

No personally I think it was a great article. I thought Michael did a good job identifying some key problems that the toon have. I think u might have had an easier life if you dint talk so much about the fans . But hey, thats what we are all here for right? we write our opinions and if Michael feels he wants to compliment the fans of Newcastle and also talk about some of the tough times the fans are having now, he is entitled to do so.

Also, right now, the way Newcastle is being run, the fans seem to play an important part in how the club is run – starting from the appointment of Keegan.. So no preview about Newcastle would be justified without a comment about its fantastic fans..

The title of your article states preview that is what you should stick to…I have no problem with the preview part of your article……it is the rest of it that makes you sound as conceited as Ronaldo talking about Real…………dont forget it was only 24 months ago that the man u fans wanted rid of ferguson and were in uproar a lot of them ACTUALLY wanting allardyce!!!!………just goes to show if you listen to the man u fans it will go wrong ha ha ha
Take it easy…..I will look forward to you review at the end of the season…….maybe you will focus on 1983-4 season )

Also, Mala, I did a preview, that’s what you’re commenting on..the whole thing is a preview!! Karthik added on to it, which was great, but I discussed tactics and their lineup and their strongest area and their schedule..

The thing is, Mala, I don’t listen to any of those pundits, I don’t watch any of those pregame shows; I form my own opinions based on what I see on the field.
