They are arguably the best fans in the country, mental to suggest other wise.

I'm sorry, but I can't go along with that.

What makes them the "best fans in the country"? The fact the poor souls turn up when they have such a "rubbish" team in the lower half of the Premier League (somewhere most football fans can only dream of being)?

What is the worst situation Newcastle have been in, in their recent history? A season smashing he Championship with a bunch of Premier League players?

They have decent fans, and can generate good noise, but what makes them so special? Are they any better than fans of League One or Two clubs that turn up every week to watch rubbish football, or raise money to keep their clubs alive?

You're perfectly entitled to that opinion, but it grates on me when I hear this "best fans" line trotted out so regularly. Has done for years.

This offer for Knockeart is not NEW.

Neither is the offers for the other two players. I don't know how it eventually got leaked, possibly from the Newcastle end. These three players have been pursued for close to 5 or 6 weeks now. They have all been rebuffed and the club will continue to rebuff them all.

The game changes if any of these players then go to the club and say that they want to speak to another club. As far a I know that hasn't happened yet. Will it happen ? - Who knows, but its up to the club to try and convince them that we have as good a chance as any of going up.

Very re-assuring as opposed to the bedwetters who fear the worst always, I am sure the club will do all they can to keep the existing players and add to them.

But then his previous prediction regarding 2 other players expired incorrect a fortnight ago.

He will be OFF by next Friday to join them, no brainer and probably take Kayal too. Rafa knows he has to get Championship players and they have the CASH to BUY anyone

Ernesto...had you forgotten you posted this one earlier?

Luckily the last game before the window slams shut is Newcastle away. The albion can drop them all off.

You'll have to run that by me again as how this proves you right

I'm convinced none of our star players will leave. Certainly not to a rival club anyway. I feel relaxed about it.

You are deluded. Will be amazed if none leave.

And 1 loanee will come in.

Let's see the LICKERS spin that.

I have been to a lot of games at St James Park and spent a lot of time on Tyneside. Yes the fans are passionate but also cynical. British football fans are passionate generally from Leicester to Dundee to Plymouth to Grimsby to Charlton to Preston. The media have built something of a mythology about Newcastle IMHO.

I have indeed. They lost 1-0 to the Albion when Mark GALL scored the winner, and their sense of entitlement was spectacular. When Pardew was manager there they couldn't wait to get rid of him because he was a Cock-er-nee, and since then, sadly as I'm sure we all agree, he's done a decent job at Palace and the Toon have been relegated.

That's not what I'm saying. If he was crap, like Elvis Manu, who cost nearly as much, many would be forming a lynch mob to run him out of town. We are loyal to the shirt, not the players or management. If the player turns out to be brilliant, such as Knockaert, he's accused of lacking loyalty if he leaves 'us' (even though he signed a four year deal with Standard Liege in July 2015). If the player turns out to be a turkey, such as Chris O'Gravytrain, on somewhere between £10-15,000 a week for three years, he's accused of being greedy by staying at the club and bleeding 'us' dry.

Fair enough, point taken.
