  Thanks for all your hard work Ed.

  Been a tumultuous year for the club and I’m sure we’ve all really enjoyed your work in covering it!

  Keep up the good work!

• 2 Toon_Ksk // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:17

  Congratulations. More good years ahead.

• 3 Chris F // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:17

  Congrats Ed.

  lets hope our fortunes continue to improve along with your hit count

• 4 Tom_Toon // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:18

  Ditto

• 5 sparetheman // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:18

  I suppose we can excuse this little piece of self-indulgence just this once, Ed. Nice job on somehow managing to write 2884 different articles on the Toon! Keep it up.

• 6 Toon_Ksk // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:19

  I think it will be good to have a forum with specific topics instead of having of us all flooding here. Just a suggestion

• 7 Dr O'Style // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:19

  Thanks for all your efforts Ed. Greatly appreciated.

  Always enjoy coming to such a dedicated and friendly site to get all the news on the club. Been a tumultuous year and your work has been highly appreciated by many!

• 8 Tom_Toon // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:22

  Nah, this way is best. Not confusing and jumbled like many a forum.

• 9 M. Stockley // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:24

  good work ed. this holds crown for being the most addictive website along with nufc.co.uk and facebook.

• 10 ObaFan2 // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:42

  Congratulations Ed, one of the finest reads on the internet.

• 11 Ian // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:44

  As a Californian who was introduced to the EPL only two years ago, I must say this website has been invaluable in following Newcastle, a great club to support. Thank you, Ed.

• 12 Jim // Apr 23, 2008 at 1:52

  A staple site for all the latest (almost unbiased) editorials collected from the 4 corners of the web on one clean and accessible site.

  Happy birthday Ed!
  Fantastic!

• 13 Dingo // Apr 23, 2008 at 2:15

  Thanks for all your hard work Ed.

  btw… I am now living in LA and working with LA Galaxy. If you are about this neck of the woods give me a shout.

• 14 adam // Apr 23, 2008 at 2:18

  congrats ed. your running a great website. its the main one i use.

  seems like an army of workers is helping you. how many are there?

• 15 Gloryhunter // Apr 23, 2008 at 2:25

  Well done Ed. Bet you never imagined it would get this big (oo err missus).

• 16 Gloryhunter // Apr 23, 2008 at 2:27

  Ed. I live in Benwell. If you’re ever passing …. best to keep on passing

• 17 Tripp // Apr 23, 2008 at 3:26

  Well done Ed. It’s a smashing site and the first thing I do when I get to work in the morning is check in to see what’s new with the Toon. I rarely hit the other NUFC websites anymore because this one’s the best. Kudos not only to you, but to all the lads and lasses that comment on the articles. As far as web communities go this one is really solid. The vast majority of the comments are intelligent, even if we don’t all see eye to eye about our beloved club it’s a great place to share the passion for football, and in particular NUFC. Here’s to the next year and 6 million site visits! Can’t wait for the xfer season, it’s gonna be crackin’. Cheers again to all who put in their 2 pence and cheers to you Ed for all of the sweat and tears (and this season there have been plenty) you pour into this blog.

• 18 Tripp // Apr 23, 2008 at 3:28

  Oh, and Ed, if you’re ever passing through Denver, do drop me a note. Must be a little nicer than Benwell.

• 19 Spyro // Apr 23, 2008 at 4:16

  congratulations Ed, Tripp and everyone else summed it up really, so i will leave it at that

• 20 Callum // Apr 23, 2008 at 4:18

  Congratulations

• 21 51times // Apr 23, 2008 at 4:32

  Congratulations, here’s to another year of success!

• 22 obamagic // Apr 23, 2008 at 4:37

  Congrats! Great site! However, I think the comments section needs upgrading. I mean when you reply to someone’s comment, it should appear right underneath the comment that its addressing. Instead of saying @So and so

• 23 Tripp // Apr 23, 2008 at 5:08

  Obamagic, that’s the nature of a blog. It’s not a message board, though Ed, if you’re feeling up to it, I’d like to see something like that added. You used to have it but, alas, that went away when the rift with Ahmed happened. Each format has its pros and cons. The blog is great for what it does, but sometimes there are things that are better served by a message board. Whatever. Still a crackin’ site and cheers Spyro.

• 24 Spot The Zebra // Apr 23, 2008 at 5:31

  Congratulations Ed and thank you.

• 25 Spot The Zebra // Apr 23, 2008 at 5:58

  By the way Ed i think your blog format is fine the way it is and its format is what sets this website apart from the many NUFC forums on the web.
  If anything may i suggest posters should have to register? This way names cant be taken by mischeivious imposters.It also means we could use a password instead of having to type in our e-mail address each time.

• 26 Cyprus Mag // Apr 23, 2008 at 6:19

  Well done….you’ve become essential daily reading for Mag fans.

• 27 Jimmie // Apr 23, 2008 at 6:30

  Congratulations Ed! News and Forum in one, my favourite NUFC Website.

• 28 Bucks1985 // Apr 23, 2008 at 6:44

  As a primary school teacher, this is my first port of call in between lessons… congratulations!!!

• 29 Doctapaul // Apr 23, 2008 at 6:52

  The best Blog on the Web. Hearty congratulations

• 30 surey // Apr 23, 2008 at 7:08

  Enquan Des Aleh Ed. I have been out for some time, but i am happy this time has coincided with the fantastic performance the team is performing these recent weeks. And i am wandering what everything will look like the very next year.

• 31 hanzowen // Apr 23, 2008 at 7:16

  Congrats Ed! Fabulous job & keep it up!

• 32 Spacey // Apr 23, 2008 at 7:33

  Spacey from Singapore. Congratz…

• 33 Guinea Mag // Apr 23, 2008 at 7:38

  Happy birthday Ed,

  Simply the best website around……

  Keep up the good work!

• 34 Vitorbarbosa // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:02

  I don’t know if this is the best, but it didn’t seem like a newly created blog when I visited here last summer. I do not even look for other blog after I found yours, and yours is the first NUFC blog I read and there is no need for me to look for another.

  I like it due to your articles very up-to-date, covering every little single area related to NUFC and of course, because you are one of us.

  I like your comments very much, you are just like me, always see the positives things in NUFC.

  Sometimes, when things goes wrong, or people criticize our players, you still praise them good, excellent and I must say, I agree to your remarks than the critics.

  Keep up the good work. I believe we will have more traffics once the window starts.

• 35 Nick Dryden // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:14

  Great effort Ed. Long may it continue. I haven’t agreed with some of what you’ve said, but hey I guess that’s the point off a forum - some of us who think they are right and some of us who know we are!!! One thing though Ed, please no more talk of RIISE!!!!

• 36 staffsmag // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:18

  Congratulations Ed - only recently discovered the site but really enjoy it - long may it continue

• 37 RAHUL // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:40

• 38 toon sooth // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:40

  Happy Birthday NUFC Blog
  Well done Ed, great blog best on the web, its the only blog that I read.

• 39 RAHUL // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:41

  sorry great effort

• 40 Steve_48 // Apr 23, 2008 at 8:42

  A big thanks to you Ed and all those contributors who have made this site what it is today - I stumbled across this site quite by chance and look in on it daily - long may it’s positive and negative energies continue.

  BTW just as an aside I hear Liverpool are trying to get rid of a left back on the cheap, apparently he’s good in the box at corners, just not necessarily into the right net

• 41 apan // Apr 23, 2008 at 9:11

  great job ed and congrats!

• 42 Geordie Gerrard7 // Apr 23, 2008 at 9:13

• 44 James // Apr 23, 2008 at 9:28

  Well done ED….this site is my bible. I live in Australia and coming to your site is just like picking up the Evening Chronicle and having a read…the nearest thing to being home when I’m not….
  Good luck, thanks very much and keep it coming!!!

• 45 Benn..Geordie Down South // Apr 23, 2008 at 9:39

  wooooooo, lets all have a big party, get smashed in the name of nufcblog it is your duty

  sillyness aside, this website is my favourite and has been since it was set up, really good effort from Ed Harrison who would have thought someone in america could set up, run, and keep up to date a website on newcastle united

  and do so very well indeed

• 50 Robert-Croatia // Apr 23, 2008 at 10:08

• 52 arctoa // Apr 23, 2008 at 10:15

  I think I’ve been here since the start: crikey! I always thought the site had been around for longer than that. Anyway, congratulations on the one-year anniversary and long may it continue: this place has become essential Newcastle-related reading, and compliments NUFC.com rather well. You two should try to strike up some sort of contact.

  D./arctoa

  Happy 1st Anniversary Ed and many congratulations for all your hard work in producing this site. I love your positivity. My joint favourite site along with .com. Keep up the good work and I look forward to another year of even better Blogs.

  I have also got quite fond of my fellow Geordie reprobates who are regular contributors.

  Changing the subject slightly, can you not get hold of some footage of the prematch Blaydon Races prior to the mackem’s match? It was sensational, and for those who were not lucky enough to be in SJP it would be something to savour.

  Congratulations Ed, top notch site! When i sue you for making me fail my exams, don’t take it personally!!
  I’ve just realised, like a few others, I must have been here since the start?! I always just thought that I had missed it when trawling the net for NUFC articles!
  Gonna be in the big US of A next year, and this site will be my saviour in keeping up to date with the toon, so thanks Ed, keep it up!

• 61 tdt // Apr 23, 2008 at 10:41

  Happy birthday ed and well done for a great site. was fortunate enough to discover it just after you started and feel priviledged to have such a great read on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and ignore the beurocrat who syuggested registrations and passwords. This is a friendly , simple site. Let’s keep it that way!

• 64 joe // Apr 23, 2008 at 11:36

  Great site Ed! I followed it from the start and slowly i ditched the other newcastle sites for yours! This site is the best thing that happened for nufc fans apart from kk!

  tis my little puppies first birthday today also. we thought it was yesterday, her brother came 4th in crofts in some sector apparntly.

  tibetan terrier. lovely dog just likes to chase everything and everything.

  just like ed if there is an article worth writing you can bet your bottom “dollar” it will be chased up and written for us all to enjoy

• 73 Ed Harrison // Apr 23, 2008 at 17:30

  The “we” is the Royal “we” - the blog is just me - no helpers - but wouldn’t have it any other way.
  We tried a forum for comments - and it just didn’t work.
  Most readers - if they want to comment on something - go to the latest article. It works quite well - but nothing is perfect.

• 74 Alan // Apr 23, 2008 at 17:48

  As an ex-pat Geordie living in LA this has become my first port-of-call for info. on my greatest passion; NUFC.

  The blog and it’s format are superb, your articles are insightful and well researched and the information is always timely. Don’t change a thing; just keep it coming.

  Thanks for all your hard work and congratulations.

• 75 cooldj // Apr 23, 2008 at 18:39

• 76 Pan // Apr 23, 2008 at 20:15

  Nice one Ed. Only place I really bother with. Always satisfying!
