When it came to Newcastle United, of course, it goes without saying that they came to NUFC Blog first to get a fan’s viewpoint of how our season will go.
As my colleague Hugh is away from the blog being a full time indentured geek at the moment, sadly, it was down to me to answer questions such as:
Player to watch?
New signing you’re most excited about?
Player you’d happily drive out of your club?
Premiership team you secretly admire?
Worst away day?
Best away day?
Best away fans?
Best place for a pre-match pint?
Final Premiership place prediction?
I tried to break the habit of a lifetime and answer their questions with the greatest amount of happy clappy style optimism I could muster not to let the side down, but somehow, I just felt dirty and wrong afterwards. It’s done now anyway and I think I pulled it off somehow.
To see the answers, you’ll just have to check out the magazine! It is available now from all good UK newsagents for £1.80.
Player to watch? – Papiss Cisse, 20 goals this season.
New signing you’re most excited about? – Amalfitano, will become Anita if/when he signs.
Player you’d happily drive out of your club? Nile Ranger.
Premiership team you secretly admire? None.
Worst away day? Man Utd away, March 2006. 2-0 loss. We never got going. Roeder gave us a wave, like.
Best away day? Sunderland, if it counts, last season. 1-0 win. Got a pair of tickets from a lad on Twitter…Home end. Still though, cracking day.
Best away fans? Probably us. Man Utd fans are always loud until they go behind.
Best place for a pre-match pint? Hotspur / Berry / Shearers / Percy.
Final Premiership place prediction? Top 7 at current strength. With a few additions…maybe 5th again.
