The Golden Touch?

Not only do we have a new away kit with a Golden tinge, Newcastle United also has a new supporter. Good luck charm Dean 'Midas' Maynard is backing the Toon this season and he's confident that Newcastle are going straight back to the Premiership.

You might remember the name from some of our match build-ups earlier in the season where Dean was providing his predicted results. Dean's predictions were spookily wide of the mark but Midas explains:

"I was happy to be asked by Beyewatch to provide a few match predictions last season but was sorry and surprised to see Newcastle go down, especially since my wife is a Geordie! My energies last season were with other clubs such as Stoke so I might not have given my all to the predictions. I got a couple of the results right though without getting the score spot on didn't I? I'm 100% behind my 3 clubs this season and along with Port Vale and Luton, Newcastle will be getting my full support!"

It's easy to dismiss this as hokum but we could do with some luck. Dean backed Stoke's survival bid, Blyth's FA Cup run and Luton's LDV Vans Trophy win. Rather predictably Luton were relegated after starting the season on minus 13 and were probably beyond luck at that stage.

You might think he's a mentalist but we'll see eh? It's no more crazy than what's been going on at the club over the last few years and you don't have to be a mind reader to know that we'll be psych'd if we get promoted. Wouldn't it be spooky if we won a cup or two?

Wish us luck!
