So as usual it is our fault, the fans, in how we unreasonably deal with the bad times.

Their ground breaking ‘Magpie Mover’ scheme has proved a great help over many years in getting fifty two thousand people to a city centre location.
Young Newcastle Fans Ask ‘Will You Be The One Who Stops Racism?’
When you are younger you react differently to racist abuse. Someone nearly walked off the pitch after racist abuse but Richard Offiong said;
“Racism made him play harder in a football match!!”
Alan Pardew Talks Like A Man Who No Longer Has Anything Left To Lose
Alan Pardew was a strange appointment but if we stay up I would then find it an equally, if not more so, strange sacking. Anybody believing that the unknown is guaranteed to be better than what we have currently got, obviously hasn’t supported Newcastle United for very long.
Young Geordies Say Racism Should Be Redundant
Ali Al-Habsi, Wigan goalkeeper, explained to SRTRC that when he moved into his new home, his neighbour was scared of him because he is a muslim. As well as this, Shola Ameobi, Newcastle United star, also told SRTRC that he used to get chased down streets but fortunately they didn’t catch him.
Respect For Sir Alex Ferguson? You’re Having A Laugh
