Whilst on the subject of Newcastle today...

Why

It seems common for teams to play in their 2nd kit when there's no colour clash.

Brilliant!

 

I thought..

..that if you had stripes on your home kit you weren't allowed to have them on your change kit.</p>

</p>

Or did I just dream that?</p>

</p>

</p>

 

You must have some very exciting dreams

.

 

This strip has divided the population up here again - Newcastle fans hate it and Sunderland fans love it! It hasn't gone unnoticed either that Michael Owen chose the day the new strip was unveiled to announce that he would not be signing a new contract!!!

 

nt

 

Radio Newcastle this morning were going through Championship teams trying to work out if they would ever need to wear it! Realised thet it would get its first airing opening game away to WBA.

 

Haha

 

I'll give you a shout when i see one around Toon

Could be waiting a while, quite frankly its a shocker
