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 [...]
I’m not one for really bothering with former players if truth be told. To me they are just commodities who come and go, almost at will. I don’t get why other people think differently either. Anyway, I’ll stop digressing. As I said, I don’t usually look at former players at [...]
The one player that left over the summer that I was really really gutted about was Jose Enrique. Don’t get me wrong, I was prepared for him leaving way back in last January. Something just didn’t sit right about the whole thing and, in truth, he never really looked interested [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
So we’ve signed an Italian from an Italian club to replace a Spaniard, but who is this lad? It’s Davide Santon of course! But surely, as he is now a Newcastle United player, you’ll want to know a bit more about him? Especially considering the jibes he has had to [...]
Now that Joey Barton has departed I think it’s fair to say that any shred of player power has now been removed from the equation at St James’ Park. Whether or not this was a deliberate tactic is something that will probably never be known, but I have sneaking suspicion [...]
Former Newcastle left-back has taken time out from his Champions League exploits at Liverpool (nudge nudge) to express concern about the club. In a final parting shot at the board, Jose questioned the ambition of the club whilst admitting that the dressing room is nervous and that he believes that [...]
