Is that guy for real? I've seen his letters in the past and thought it might be some nut case who you just let lose for our amusement.

I've met him.

He continued writing under a pen name so as not to get lynched by a baying H+V mob every home game. That he was less than 50 yards from a cemetery must have been quite an adrenaline rush...

Given his inability to construct a proper sentence, and that he appears to be an excitable 13 year old after too much Sunny D, I'd say it was more likely to be you.

Did he breathe properly?  When I read his letters I have a mental image of him turning blue.

Do you think that this 1993 image of Newcastle would be replicated by many today?

 Newcastle United – One way or another, Keegan has worked miracles at this club, turning them from relegation probables into runaway champions-elect in the space of a year.  Newcastle used to be long to the Robert Maxwell school of staying afloat, they were worse than Small Heath. I saw them lose at St James Park last Easter to a less than purposeful Millwall side and they played like a bucket of frogs. Now, things are going well once again for the Geordie giants and their masses pf long-suffering fans. However, there are still a few lads in the Gallowgate end who think it piquant to chivvy black players by making ape noises at them (not even Leeds do that  anymore). Great club, great ground, mostly great fans. Will be an asset to the top flight.

Sometimes we're just downright psychic - a prediction from 1995. http://heroesandvillainsfanzine.wordpress.com/

Some great stuff there. Loved reading about Dalian and Deano again too. Interesting perspective seeing the adult view from back then. I was only about 12 when they were getting us second spot and winning us a league cup the following year but they could do no wrong in my eyes, but then again I had no background interest, and no notion of what went on behind the scenes. Didn't read the papers, and there was obviously not interwebnet back then.

In many respects very little has changed about us as fans, or the club. Probably the same for many clubs, bar the likes of Man City and Chelsea who've gained an innate smugness in recent years due to their money bought success.
