Here are some
of the Ambitions that I, as a Newcastle die hard fan, have:
First of all, why dont we take this:
And this, too:
Second, I believe this is certainly
not out of our reach:
Afterwards, we will get to the
competition for this cup and take it ,too, certainly:
With that success, winning this
should be a piece of cake:
Personal Predictions:
Place in the end of 00/01 season: 5th. (title odds before season = 40/1)
Newcastle top Premiership scorer: Alan Shearer.
Scorer number 2: Daniel Cordone.
Newcatsle player of the year: Daniel Cordone.
Record Victory: 6-0.
Record defeat: 3-0.
Highlights of the season: Winning the FA cup, with a 1-0 victory over
Manchester United in the final; beating ManU in the league 2-1; more
victories over Arsenal and Liverpool.
Other: In a couple of years,
Newcastle will become strong enough to challenge the title and, in the
end it will belong to the club; probably after Alan Shearer retires
and becomes manager.

Quotes by and about Alan Shearer:
"...there is a special feeling of being a Geordie. If you go away you always want to come back." - Shearer
"I said that only a Geordie would understand how much I love Newcastle. The people up there are so passionate about their football and they want to win things badly. I'm no different to that and hopefully I can do that with Newcastle. If I wasn't playing for them I'd be supporting them. I'm the same as them, hungry for success." - Shearer
"Coming from here is special to me. I can relate to the supporters because I was one of them and still am." - Shearer
"You can improve on all parts of your game - no-one has got anything perfect about them. But I will get better because I work hard." - Shearer
"I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic." - Shearer
"I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day." - Shearer
"I've got two girls. I like to play golf. Apart from that there's not
a lot goes on in my life. So I am boring, aren't I?" - Shearer
"People can say what they like about Alan Shearer. That's their right." - Shearer
"What a player. What a man. What a signing!" - Kevin Keegan
"I wouldn't swap Alan for ANYONE - and that includes Ronaldo and Weah." - David Batty
"I have been keeping an eye on Alan Shearer for a long time and I like
his style very much. He can shoot from any position and his
goalscoring record is excellent." - Paolo Maldini
"I would compare him to Careca who is the only striker who would keep
me awake the night before a game." - Alessandro Costacurta
"He can become the greatest England striker of them all." - Bobby Charlton
Newcastle United - as mentioned
in a 1957 club index: (translation from Russian)
"..the charachteristics of the team
always have been the will to win, stability, the desire not to give up
even in the most hopeless situations. Newcastle United has the reputation
of a "cup team", capeble of headspinning pace and desperate fighting for
victory till the last minute of the game.."
