We’ll join the crowd – here is a leaked photograph of Newcastle’s new home shirt for next season that’s currently doing the rounds on the Internet.
Newcastle’s new home shirt?
And this is probably the actual shirt, and it looks good – apart from that WONGA.com sign on it – it’s got those thin blue stripes on the front and sides which look neat.
And the blues are nicely color coordinated – we like it.
What do you think?

Comment #163Macas
I’m not saying the age of the coaches, but there philosophy
Take fergie, constantly adapting his style and its brand of football
What have we adapted in our game? Nothing really and don’t have a back up plan, so do you think that the coaches (this includes pardew) shouldn’t shoulder the blame for the lack of team discipline etc?

Comment #165The coaches we have all work under a remit set by Pardew? And if he’s anything like the way he set’s our side up then you can bet that the coaching is restrictive and always defensively minded in nature…………………and that we never, ever work on set piece’s or corner’s not to mention learning how to cross the ball

Comment #167toonarmydownsouth
I don’t know what goes on with coaching but the season we finished 5th we got it so right. A well drilled side that shocked the league. When you play twice a week all you can do is rest and repair for the most part. We got that so wrong. Where the blame lies I don’t know but we will see next season I guess where the team is.

Comment #168gonufc
True mate it was.
The reason we played so well and why the players loved playing under Keegan was simply because he allowed them to play, he trusted them to play, he was a poor tactician but he was a great motivator and players would fight like hell for him, under Pardew the players are never allowed to open up and just play there are always restrictions

It rest with the management and coaching, there sole job is to prepare the players mentally and physically for each and every game
As I said mate, when we finished 5th it was a great system, but one where we didn’t have to change or adapt, our system worked are lads were fit and we were out of every cup early doors
This season we had a extra games and we had been sussed out, we had injuries and our management and coaching team had no plan B, no way to stop the rot
Had plenty of time to film cooking with carver though……;)

Comment #170go nufc
if we are still producing lots of youth then why is it that we are having to use foreign players who have been in England for x no of years before they reach 21
tell me a squad of 25 who will be part of the England team for 2022 world cup because I can’t even name a starting 11

Comment #171Who knows who’s in charge of what at newcastle right now but one thing’s for sure…pardew is a dinosaur and most of the lads on this blog could have got the team we had last year in a higher league position than Pardew managed.
The Premiership as a whole is guilty of not producing good young players because we never give them a chance because we always buy ready made talent from Europe and the rest of the world….it’s the curse of the Premiership.
Newcastles whole set up (excluding the youth set up) is a fcuking joke because of the people running it…and that is Ashleys fault because he hired them…the whole thing’s ran by a bunch of amateurs and that’s reflected in our league position and the reluctance of truly top players to join us.
We will attract some good up and coming players because we’ll pay them more than they get now and they’ll see the Premiership as a good challenge for the development of their career…but top quality players won’t touch us with a barge pole because of the people and set up we have.

I hope this year some lessons have been learned and maybe the bog awful appointment of JFK was to take some pressure off of AP who was out of his depth. The words horses stables and bolted spring to mind tho.

Comment #177I think the England setup is doomed to fail because of the higher fees for English players.
Young players driving expensive cars, earning silly money…
What do they have to strive for? When they already have everything they need?
The term too much, too soon springs to mind.

Comment #178@toonking – for god sake!! Do you actually read?
I’ve never said there isn’t a problem in English football.
I’ve said that computer games are not what is stopping England from winning trophies!!!
ALl the other stuff you’ve chucked in seems to be more appropriate on a daily mail comments section to moan about “the youth these days….”.

Comment #179Right Tads…
the problem is not the coaching as you are continually slagging the coaching methods, and in particular the youth team set up, academy also ? no one coming through bla blah blah ..
Well everything that needs doing is done correctly throughout all levels ..you have no idea . you really dont
Now heres the rub..Back in the day before overseas players …and I can go back to Clyde Best at West Ham United ..he was one of my fav’s back then …you had teams made up of British players throughout ..English, Scot’s, Welsh and N/S Irish.. a lot of these players were home grown…Come through the ranks so to speak, ..products of that particular Club’s youth policy..Now ask yersel does that happen now ?
NO ..and why ? Because of the influx of overseas ready made player’s …So unless a youth player is outstanding and sticks out like a beacon to all who watch him . a young player will have less of a chance of graduating to the first team ..Because of the influx of overseas players..Its just a fact ..and that young player will not get the chance to grow and progress the way it was back in the day, ..70’s, whatever era ..
I mention Steve McClaren..your slagging him off, a really good FA coach BTW, now or are you just using the fact I mention him and slag him off to have a pop at me ..In fact you should just stick to slagging off anything that moves ..breathes ..has a pulse
Saying all of the above ..can you see why it is now harder for a young player to make a breakthrough from youth/res in the prem ? managers jobs at stake etc ..taking risks with prem league status is a no no ..So it is harder for a young player to come through
It is not the coaching…, (that which you continue to slag off )
Check out each club in the prem last season’s team say, ..see how many British homegrown players are in the first eleven ..
Can you now see why home grown players are not progressing ?
They usually end up dropping down a league and don’t have the chance to grow and learn at the club they initially signed for …thats not the coaches fault
Tads ..If you don’t take in any of the afore mentioned and don’t see it as fact and argue with anything of the above ..I will deduce that you are just an arguementive type and thats what you get off on ..Its no good presenting any argument deriding the above ..you are just making yersel look silly with every hot-headed post you make .. Some Mother’s !

Comment #181Cabs probably should go. He’s definitely deserving of a place at a Champions League contender and he has been out of sorts for us. He’d need to be replaced with someone with a similar passing range, but maybe for the money you’d get we could pick up a top replacement and a winger or striker. That’d give the side more depth and balance. just another striker or winger needed after that and we’d be sorted and Ash might even sanction that level of spending.

What an absolute load of bollocks!!!
Homegrown players doesn’t even mean English players ffs just players that have been at the club for 3 years before there 21!! They don’t have to come directly from the area!
Yes the youth set up fail the youngsters, why the hell aren’t the club getting these lads out on loan at 16/17?
Thought you said you had facts not the inane ramblings of an old man dreaming of yesteryear!!
If the coaches are doing everything to the highest of standards then why were are players so unfit? So unmotivated?
Why couldn’t they pass the ball? Execute a set piece? Make any form of off ball movement?
Homegrown in the prem that play regular football? Really? Are you that blind?

Comment #183jimmy…yep…that’s how I see it panning out too…we need more strength and depth so if we sell 2/3 purples and bring in 6 players for more depth in the squad that gives us more options to play different formations and cover for injuries.
We have a good first 11 but no depth and that needs sorting

Comment #184TAds and others that slag of the coaching at Newcastle .If you spent a month.. nay..say one week with Peter Beardsley you would regret every post you ever made against them on this blog ..really you would ..
The Slagging seems to come from last seasons scrape with the wrong end of the table ..well just think about it a moment ……mmmm….. ..it might well have been the club’s Owner/management at fault ..one signing to a squad that was about to embark on at least 10+ extra european games .. giving Pardew , and on reflection his coaches, a weaker hand to play .. then new players in january ..take a while to get up to speed .
It is Not the Coaching ..Thats my opinion .
Now is tad’s going to continue slagging me off for my own, well meant, factual educated opinion…

Comment #187Sparky55…
The total capitulation by the Under 21’s & now under 20’s is indicitive of the pre maddona mind set that is festering and bubbling away under the surface…
However it’s not under the surface anymore lol. It’s now stairing us all smack bang whollop in the face.
I just wonder how many of these “players” come into the game now because they have a genuine love for the game and how many get involved because of the riches.
It’s a Nial Ranger mindset… A desease we need to cure and cure quickly.

Comment #188Home grown players tads ! you have spent the last half hour having to look for them !.. that just proves my point case shut and closed .
That list of yours would amount to 2 and a half teams with subs ..!
I think you make my point for me ..you’r even arguing about the fact I said home grown players ..my context was the players that had a better time of it in the 70’s breaking through into the firsts .and you even argue about that .
.Don’t try your strawman poll tactics with me …won’t work ..and you go on about an old man dreaming of yesteryear ! hahahah You are really sad ..I am talking of present day situation when it comes to a player breaking through ..not yesteryear as you say twisting my words..you’r getting on that old/ dinosoar thing again ..have you got something against older and wiser people ..goes without saying …Wiser ..and maybe not as angry as you are ..you really come across as a really sad angry person ..now I’m away for a beer tads ..lighten up man stop blaming the coaches ..
You are keeping up this argument slagging of the coaches when really I can see through what’s wrong ..your arguing with yourself ..Its a bit inane to be trying to slag off everything that someone writes and expresses an opinion ..you’r arguing with yourself man can’t you see .?.google it ..check out the psycho pages.

You asked for an example of homegrown players
That is merely a small list of first team regulars in the prem
You keep spouting your opinion as fact though if that makes you feel better, the coaching set up at NUFC is severly outdated a bit like your arguement

ToonKing
Talking about how he hasn’t seen any kids playing on the patch of grass outside his house and using this as the reason why the England youth teams are doing so bad, LMAO! In other news….”Kids are getting into more trouble these days!” haha! There goes the England youth set up! All of the best players I ever played against as a kid were in and out of trouble! Leon Best, Alex Baptist, Chris O’Grady, Will Hoskins all had run ins with the law and all (barring Chris) have played premier league football!
As for Online Guy.
Can you get much more personal? Making stupid comments with nothing to back them up and then saying “so you can see why this is fact? Yes?” only works if you are a JEDI mate, everyone else will think you are a twat.
Very entertaining non the less!

I’m a Pro Ashley kinda..
I think the club has benefitted greatly from the new players coming in. (both the dreamboat window and this jan. window.)
You could say anyone could have done that with G. Carr, but I beg to differ!
The choices Ashley have made have been hard ones, but good ones in the long run!
THE F’g HYSTERY nowadays seems to me like it is based on a “group formed” opinion!
And I do think Ashley has ambitions, he just cant let him self let fans’ feelings take place in business
