I read an article in The Chronicle earlier which basically sounded like a PR exercise from the club. The basic point behind it was sound enough, but I didn’t like the way Lee Ryder went about it. I’m sure he’s not bothered, after all he is paid to do what [...]
The 2008–09 season saw an end to Newcastle United’s 16th consecutive seasons in the top division of English football. A nightmare season which saw the club relegated from the Premier League to the Championship, the first time the club had been relegated since 1989. Things had been fairly positive at [...]
Over the past year or so, 20-year-old striker Nile Ranger has seen his Newcastle United career thrown into turmoil. From once being touted as one of our academy’s brightest prospects, it would now seem that some very immature and idiotic actions on his own part have all but destroyed his [...]
When the clocks hit midnight this morning it meant the arrival of a new year, a fresh start and new beginnings for some as we wave goodbye to 2011 and welcome 2012. Of course the month of January is an eagerly anticipated one for football fans too as the transfer [...]
Derek Llambias has taken time out of his hectic schedule of generally being sleazy to unleash another one of his telegraphs of doom. The shocking thing is that this time I actually agree with him. This one is about Joey Barton’s rant last night on a QPR podcast, which came [...]

With the news that Steve Harper has joined Brighton on a month long loan deal it raises the question: have we got rid of the old guard? Harper along with Kevin Nolan and Joey Barton have all departed the club in one form or another over the last few months. [...]
The sun is shining, I’m basking in Mediterranean temperatures on my week off work, I’m out for beers later with Marktoon (he assures me he will buy a round!), I’m going to be a Dad, and the football club I love seems to be ticking along rather nicely. Out of [...]
Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing. I’m just wondering whether or not now is the time for the benefit of it to be shown? The summer was a bit a car crash in all honesty. In fact its probably best to define it as “crash, bang, wallop.” Crash as Jose [...]
