NUFC MAD infiltrate Man Utd establishment....

And that's exactly what they did, in the latest issue of their rag (for ethical, moral, and plain prejudiced reasons we're not suggesting for one moment that you go out and buy it, ok) their readers get the views of us.

Yes, the many Southern readers of the Official Manchester United magazine were treated to a season preview where we were the voice of the Toon.

Handily, we've repeated the comments they used below - so now you have absolutely no excuse for going out and buying it!

"I'd have taken more satisfaction from your failure to win anyything if we'd filled the void. But last season was a stepping stone for us. Sir Bobby has built an ever-improving young side which Titus Bramble and Hugo Viana add to and i expect further domestic gains this term. A few memorable European nights and re-qualification for the Champions League will please most of the Geordie faithful. I'm also hoping Alan Shearer pioneers an anti-ageing treatment so he can continue playing until he's 50!"

Our colleagues at Charlton MAD, Leeds United MAD and WestHammersFC.Com also saw their views featured.
