If by any chance we reach the Europa cup final, do you think Amsterdam could handle 100,000 Geordies? Tickets or not there will be an invasion.

Of course it could - I think 100k is a little on the low side though - there are surely more Geordies than that in your world !

Well with us being a WORLDWIDE brand and known in all corners of the planet, i would estimate an invasion of at least 500,000. Pity the muckems will never reach european competition, they would be able to fill a mini bus PLUS a scooter judging by their poor crowds this season.

500,000? are you mad? Considering that in the whole of Tyneside there are only 800,000 (men women and children) and we don't always fill St James' there is no way on earth half a million Toon fans would decend on Amsterdam. I reckon there'd be no more than 40,000 there, that's just a number pulled out of thin air but it sounds about right I reckon. When you consider we don't even sell 500,000 strips a year, not even close then you have to think, if someone is willing to pay to go to Amsterdam from wherever they are surely they're willing to buy a top?

Think the point that was being made was the actual location, the fact that its Amsterdam would increase the number of away fans of any club that would reach the final. but the fact that we do generally take a large away following would also add to this number

No, the point being clearly mad was that 100-500,000 toon fans would turn up. Obviously there will be more if it was in say Milan or somewhere else not on a direct travel route. 500,000, would love to see it but really??

Half a million toon fans are in holland already eating those famous cakes they make and their fantastic shop eye candy in the red light zone haha

"oh I've never seen a mackem in Milan"

HWTL

Chill Winston....

Or in Amsterdam, maybe mopping floors on the ferry on the way over there but nothing else.

Surely Chelsea will be wanting Demba now with Drogba leaving

Good player jst dont think he will achieve a lot there, chelseas interested Liedson to replace drogba there also looking to buy Holosko

Liedson must be nearly 120 yrs old

The problem is if ba went to chelsea he would be a bit part player due to rotation system they have...a lot of good players went there and done nowt....duff,sidwell,etc where are they now they get sold for peanuts and end up playing for a small team at least at the toon he his treat like a GOD

Demba not good enough to replace Drogba, at least in Chelski's eyes. They'll be after Falcao or Cavani.

They've got Torres sat on the bench ready to replace Drogba. I know Demba's been the better player this season but from is tempory and class is permanent... still think Torres is a better striker. (Which is good for us because it makes it more likely that Demba will stay) TOONKARLOS

People saying he isnt good enough for chelsea, have you already forgotten his form at the start of the season? He was better than Drogba, only just short of RVP.

Done well for west ham in hand full of games and was doing real well this year until ACON came but still put a shift in on the pitch....

Attitude did deteriorate though.

I don't think Chelsea need another Striker? they have torres, Lukaku and sturridge, they are also looking a Hulk so Sturridge would probs drop to the bench.

I saw that "Dijon" got relegated from the french league "Ligue 1" this could mean we might be back in for "Benjamin Corgnet" ?!

Saw him play in the French league 2 a couple of seasons ago when I was in Dijon, he looked good.

Are you disagreeing that I saw him and thought he looked good? You know me then?

I'd actually gone to see Seb Ribas (I'd heard he was good) but he was terrible that night a 0-0 draw with Le Havre, gash match and around 3,000 people at the match, there was no ATM near the ground and a member of staff offered to give me 10euros for a couple of drinks, how nice was that?
