Not sure about the bar. How far from the ground was it?
That guy has some beer belly on him 
can tell from that pic 
guys, from what I can remember it was fairly near "Intersport" and was on the corner of the road where a T junction is with traffic lights... thats about as much as I can remember.... 
PSV only gave Newcastle an allocation of 1600 tickets. Given the behaviour of their own fans they have no right to complain about ours. Wonder what ticket allocation will Newcastle give to PSV fans?

PSV have a decent stadium (35,000). Newcastle were given about the same number of tickets for the NAC Breda game, who have a capacity of just 17,000.
The PSV fans didn't look that bad generally, except for hoying stuff at Jenas while he lay injured on the floor. Almost 90 Newcastle fans were arrested because of a small scuffle in Breda city centre earlier this season, that's probably the reason for PSV giving us so few tickets. If it is then it's a massive over-reaction.
These were taken by a Newcastle fan who went to the PSV game on Thursday night. Looks very reminiscent of the 70s/80s football scene in England:

Ah bollox, only one of the pics works
It's like that in most Dutch stadiums. If they did it like in the UK we would have pitch invasions and big riots every week in the stadium probably. I'm always wondering how they banned hooliganism from the stadiums in the UK, especially since it's still there outside if I'm correct. And there are some exceptions ofcourse, like Millwall - Leeds some time ago. What are the consequences when you invade a pitch in the UK?
England has done a very good job at eliminating hooliganism and has made a lot of sacrifices to achieve this, which is why it is very unprofessional of UEFA to single us out as Europe's biggest troublemakers. In fact I'd say this is one of the safest places to watch football in Europe now.
Basically traditional working class supporters have been priced out of the stadium and known hooligans are banned from matches. Not only that, but they have tried to make stadiums obsessively 'clean'. It's all about establishing control over the fans, in some British stadiums you are not even allowed to smoke, and for a few years the FA has even banned "persistent standing" in stadiums! If you want to constantly stand and watch the match a steward will come over and warn you that you could be turfed out. The paranoia is getting ridiculous. For years this has worked in the Premier league but away supporters have long ignored this and stand for the entire game. They know that if they all do it then there is nothing the stewards can do. However now the FA are trying to stop even away fans standing, sending letters to fans saying that their club will not be allocated tickets to away games if the fans keep standing.
I'm not sure of the consequences for invading the pitch. Obviously if thousands do it then it's hard to punish any single person. However if you ran onto the pitch yourself trying to incite others you would probably get a ban from the stadium.
Basically the heart and soul of English football is dying and it is a massive insult that UEFA should threaten to expel us from Europe when we have bent over backwards to accommodate them. The atmosphere in all major British stadiums is rubbish now.
I know our image in Europe as hooligans, but if Europeans realised how ridiculous our football scene has become they would count themselves lucky that we are the scapegoat taking all of the blame.
Toon Army in Iraq
rofl!
they just spotted ruud gullit I think, thats why they got the guns etc
What can you guys see the score being today? I predict 2-1 Arsenal unfortunately 
I'll go with 1-1, but I think we should definitely play for the win!
Newcastle 0 - 0 Arsenal
Another good performance and a point I was confident we'd get, but this was a match that was certainly winnable, so I'm satisfied but not overjoyed. In the end I think neither side deserved to snatch a win so a point each was pretty fair.
Woodgate was the best man on the pitch IMO. Both sides lacked width throughout the game, Bellamy, Shearer, Reyes and Henry were all forced to play as wingers a lot of the time, picking up hopeful long balls and struggling to provide for anyone in the centre. I thought both sides defended very well which explains the scoreline. Bobby made the right decision to bring off Ambrose and Robert as they weren't giving us any width anyway. Arsenal had the best chances and we relied on luck on a couple of occasions, but Newcastle lofted far more balls into the Arsenal box than they did into ours. Unfortunately many of these went straight to Lehmann who had a good game in goal. Jenas had another good game, is his season turning a corner? Perhaps he's finally pulling his socks up with one eye on Euro 2004? Whilst I wasn't a fan of Dyer constantly playing on the right wing, I think he could have given us enough of an edge to clinch this game today. I remember the cracker he had at Highbury earlier in the season, tormenting Cole all game down that flank. Hopefully he'll be back for the PSV match. Anybody notice Ashley Cole winding down the clock in injury time? It would have been faster to stretcher him off 
Overall I'm satisfied with the result, pleased with the performance. If we play with the same professionalism against PSV we have every chance of going through to the semi-finals. Apparently Robben will also miss the second leg because of injury.
Howay the lads!
Liverpool lost to Charlton today.
The team's challenging for 4th all play each other this weekend...
Aston Villa v Newcastle
Liverpool v Fulham
Charlton v Birmingham
Villa have just beaten Chelsea so this is a massive game for us. Liverpool play on Saturday, hopefully we can go into our game on Sunday on level points with them with 2 games in hand.
Middlesbrough are now only 4 points behind us, but we have a game in hand. They are starting to find form and play away to Wolves this weekend. We need to move away from this pack now.
PSV won 5-0 this weekend, Kezman scored a hat-trick. Their opponents were shite mind.
Hey mate,
I couldnt agree more, fabulous performance by Woodgate and Jenas against Arsenal, I thought Bellamy was a real nuisance, he was so close to getting through on 4/5 occasions of 1 on 1's with the keeper.
I was very impressed, thank god Titus "Hoof It" Bramble wasnt playing!
I however was appalled by the lack of effort by Laurent Robert, he was shoddy, a lot of people have given the guy stick lately and I have stuck up for him but he just didnt show any effort at all, bring in Hugo Viana please Bobby! :|

Champions League for Porto
UEFA Cup for Newcastle and Hugo Viana
Woohoow well done NUFC They should have finished it in the first half though, there was no need to let psv come back in the game, but who cares.
It's well known that Mourinho would like a move to England, and there has been speculation that he would come to Newcastle. He and Bobby Robson spent 6 years together at Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona and Porto. Our chairman denied these rumours but Bobby Robson said he would be his favourite man to take over when he retires. I would love him to come here, he and Bobby could work alongside for a year before Mourinho fully takes over, making a smooth transition.
Nando, do you think Mourinho would realistically want to come to Newcastle? There are rumours Real Madrid might take him when they sack Queiroz.
As for Hugo Viana, many Newcastle fans are very disappointed about the way he is being treated. When we bought him we beat clubs like Juventus to get him and paid �8.5 million for him, he was the European Young Player of the Year. It was a very exciting signing for us, but he still struggles to get a single full game, he's lucky if he comes on for 10 minutes at the end. Many believe he can't cope with the physical aspect of the Premier League and needs too much time on the ball and believe we should sell him, whilst others believe he needs more of a chance in the first team. He is desperate to play for his country in Euro 2004 and was prepared to take a big wage cut to go on loan back to Lisbon, but we denied him a loan move (because of injury fears). Now he is worried he won't play for Portugal bewcause he isn't getting a regular game at Newcastle, he frequently complains to the media and people are worried he could leave in the summer. His time at Newcastle has been a pretty bleak one so far. Let's hope he can meet his awesome potential, but I fear he will be better suited in the Spanish league.

I see what ure talking about with Viana. I was so envious when Newcastle snapped him up a couple of seasons ago. He was meant to be one of the biggest prospects in europe. But hes done nothing at newcastle and bobby robson has treated him poorly. If i were him id be leaving this season for another club that will play him. Same goes for Joe Cole whos barely played at chelea.. wasted talent
W00t were in the semi finals
Well done Andy Obrien sent off after 10 minutes.
well 0 - 0
as usual newcastle fail to capitalise on all results going there way yesterday.
/me thinks we arent gonna get 4th place.
Aston Villa? who are they?
Typical Newcastle, we are approaching a crucial run of games which could decide our fate for years to come, and suddenly our crucial first team players start dropping injured.
Marseille fans will be interested to know that Bellamy is out, which once again leaves a gaping hole in our attack. Dyer will probably miss the first leg, meaning our other quick player is out. Jenas, who has just started to find his form, was also injured today. Bowyer was feeling his hamstring at the end of the game, I hope that's not another. Ameobi and Bramble are have minor injuries, but they might not be ready in time for Thursday.
This could mean Viana, Bowyer (possible), and Bridges get their chance, plus another big game for Ambrose.
Mint win against chelsea. We beat a mint team but get beat off Man city? Whats the crack here?
