That uninspiring, innovation-lacking second half on Saturday at home to Wolves left a string of NUFC fans scratching their heads at the team’s ability to punish ‘lesser’ opposition and finish them off. The further question of, ‘why and how often does this happen’ led NUFC_Stats to take a deeper glance [...]
We all know that people have their favourites, and I’m not having a dig at people for having them because we all do it. For example, Toonsy hated Ryan Taylor, I’m not a fan of Gutierrez, some people love Ben Arfa, some don’t like Best, it’s just one of them [...]
I got into a discussion about tactics earlier, which I quite enjoyed, so I thought I would put those thoughts into an article and see if we can have a bigger discussion about it. One of the nice things was that it was done without the need to resort to [...]
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! A first half that promised so much against Wolves on Saturday, was shortly followed by a frustrating and lacklustre effort to sit on the lead. Newcastle proved yet again that they just do not possess the ability & power to see off teams, even at home. Wolves [...]
Captain Coloccini has reiterated his desire to stay at Newcastle and sign a new deal, although he admits that there is no rush to put pen to paper as he concentrates on finishing the season in style. Contract talks have lingered on between the club and Captain for sometime now, [...]
That time has come around again, it’s that week, the week where the Sunderland fans pipe up out of their holes and claim they’re going to smash us all over St James’ Park. Yes, its Derby week, but we’ve heard it all before boys, It didn’t happen last year, did [...]
On Saturday I decided not to do my usual routine of sitting down and taking in every commentary available for the Newcastle game. In fact I was snowboarding but that is besides the point. Football is one of those sports that really do take over your life. As I was sliding down the slopes generally on [...]
Yohan Cabaye has established himself as key player for Newcastle United this season, but how ‘key’ is he in reality? Rarely, if ever, do I read a critical analysis of his contribution to the team. There’s no doubt that he’s our best player for that position. A creative midfielder whose [...]

Nothing brings a smile to my face more than seeing goals scored by those is black and white, so in 26 minutes time I should be beaming like the proverbial Chesire Cat after watching all of these! You may have already guessed what the video contains, but if you haven’t [...]
