Good Morning Mr. President

5 -1. What a way to start off the season. It warmed the cockles of my heart to see all of our forwards scoring. It was also good to see Paul Scholes ramming a shot down the infidels' throat! I tell you Giggsy is relishing his midfield role. I think the team is a solid unit. I don't think we need another Roy Keene. Alex is in the process of moulding a diamond unit. Wait till the others work in... Heinze, Fletcher, Soljaeer (can't spell nor pronounce his name), Carrick, Richardson, the young Italian.....ah death!!!! It's a long season though so I won't get carried away.



Any word on Bibby or Claude Davis? Portsmouth looked good. Teams that will struggle are:



Middlesborough

Charlton

Everton (I totally dislike)

Watford

Sheffield United

Newcastle

Well me worried. We scored 5 goals and 1 man had a hand in all 5 goals. The problem is he is out for the next 3 games ... how we gonna cope .. that is the question.

Mr. Prez you worry too much. We have the quality in midfield to do enough damage. Nuff man a hustle fe dem game. In Paul Scholes we have a Steven Gerrard or a Frank Lampard. He is out reclaim his glory.

I got news for you ... Paul Scholes will be missing the next 3 games too. This is the FA's way of getting back at Fergie for standing up to them over Wayne Rooney.

Newcastle will never go down.



They can't afford to. They have one of the biggest fan base in England.

The town has grown very big and could easily be one of the richest sides if they put their money properly.



While they may not place in the top I wouldn't bet against them going down cause if they are down in december watch how them a go buy players in January.

nvestors eye Newcastle Utd bid

NUFC's Scott Parker

Scott Parker helped Newcastle start the season with a win

A Jersey-based firm has said it is interested in buying Premiership football club Newcastle United.



The Belgravia Group said it is in early talks with the club, which is valued at about £81m on the London stock market.



The announcement came after Belgravia was reported to have met majority shareholder Sir John Hall who, with his son, owns more than 40% of the club.



Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd, who owns a 28% stake in the football club, is expected to resist any buyout bid.



Newcastle shares jumped on the news, trading 8.2% higher at 66 pence.



'Most attractive'



Belgravia, a private company with interests including construction, hospitality, aviation and sports marketing said that it was examining the potential opportunity of acquiring Newcastle, which may or may not lead to an offer for the company.





The most attractive clubs are always the ones that have got the history and the geography behind them,

"A further statement will be made if appropriate," Belgravia said.



In June, Sir John revealed that he had received "expressions of interest" in his shares.



In a statement on Monday, Newcastle said: "The club's position remains the same as it was in June when we were first informed that Sir John Hall was in talks with other parties.



"We communicated our position to the market in June and we have nothing further to add."



A number of large investors have been buying stakes in English and Scottish football clubs.



Last week, US billionaire Randy Lerner made an offer to buy another Premiership team, Aston Villa.



Bill Gerrard of Leeds University Business School said that investors were keen to get access to English football because "the Premiership is the top domestic football league in the world".



"The most attractive clubs are always the ones that have got the history and the geography behind them," he explained.



"Newcastle look the most obvious target with a completed stadium, a very large and loyal fan base, and a history of being in the upper echelons of English footbal
