The mercurial Hatem Ben Arfa will get all of the plaudits for the 2-0 beating of Bolton on Monday; his goal was simply sensational and was the icebreaker in what was a very drab performance from the Toon. But, alongside that world-class moment, was yet another goal from Newcastle United’s [...]
There are no two ways about it; Newcastle United have one of the most potent strike forces they have had in a long time. The firepower that Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa possess has torn through teams recently; none more so than Liverpool at the weekend, and what better time [...]
Hatem Ben Arfa….take a bow! Were Newcastle fans the only ones that weren’t surprised at his performance v West Brom though?! The magician has been hailed a ‘pioneer’ of the midlands victory, but the Toon faithful have watched the French enigma build since his return from injury and it looks [...]
“He’s an exciting player and I’m sure our fans will enjoy watching him!” That was the verdict of Kevin Keegan on signing Jonas Gutierrez for Newcastle from Real Mallorca back in July 2008. And, it’s fair to say, the Argentine hasn’t disappointed. He possesses amazing skill and has that drive [...]
It’s not nice being the pessimist (or is it realist?) all of the time, but lets call a spade a spade – Arsenal deserved to win the game on Monday. If it had have been Newcastle who had 23 attempts compared to 4 and the game ended in a draw, [...]
Before this one is dived into, a very relevant happy birthday to Hatem Ben Arfa today (7th March) – 25 years old! Touted as one of Europe’s best talents, NUFC were due to get their hands on a pure ‘wizard’ of the game, an exceptional French flair footballer from the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Since Newcastle United arrived in the Premier League in 1993, there really is only one goalkeeper that springs to mind. Shay Given made 462 appearances in his 12 year illustrious stint at ST JAMES’ PARK, earning him the very worthy title of one of NUFC’s all time best ‘keepers. During [...]
The influx of foreign talent has been a cautious point of interest for football fans of clubs in the English Premier League for some time now; the effect on the National team’s performance, the impact on opportunities for local youth coming through, high wages etc. But, there won’t be many [...]
