I wrote this some time ago, but didn't post it... Here goes....
With the opening game of the Premier League approaching, Newcastle United travelled to Majorca to find some fitness and form in the sunshine, and to play in a friendly tournament nicely named "Summer Cup 2008".
Looking at the photos taken during the Toon training sessions, seems like the lads had samo fun together as well as doing some hard pre-season work. Nice to see the group bonding, but the lack of firepower upfront left the fans frustrated, Newcastle goalless, and Kevin Keegan with some problems.
Two 1-0 defeats, to Hertha Berlin and the host, Mallorca showed that Ameobi and Smith probably couldn't score if they stayed on the pitch for a week...
And bla bla...
The friendlies versus PSV Eindhoven and Valencia CF gave us some hope ahread of the much awaited trip to Ol' Traff...
Still, few people could predict the outcome of the Manu match...
