Thanks JW. No logic or science as to why I adopted Newcastle.

Northeast of England, I grew up in northeast USA, had a Newcastle Pennsylvania near where I lived, have visited Newcastle, Australia, north of Sydney. That's about as close as it gets...LOL.
Their first team seems to be doing OK though in pre-season.
Hartlepool 3-1
Carlisle Utd. 1-1
Celtic 4-1
Juventus 2-0
Hull City and Sampdoria remaining. That's why I asked elsewhere if Sampdoria is Genoa's home team.
I do like what Baa Baa said about them giving boys a chance to show what they have. I did notice a section on their home page about their "academy" and something about 13 of their students/graduates who have made an appearance in the pre-season and done well.
We shall see what we shall see.
