Newcastle played Everton this afternoon knowing that they needed to win to stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Well now I actually wonder if they did know? You see the performance today was weak to say the least, which was unexpected when you consider what could have [...]
Newcastle United’s penultimate game of the season, and final home fixture of the season, saw a 2-0 defeat inflicted by Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City. It was only Newcastle’s third home defeat of the Premier League campaign, highlighting the improvement that has been made of home form over the course of [...]
Newcastle United bounced back from a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Wigan by winning 2-0 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, something they haven’t achieved since 1986. The game started slowly but the visitors didn’t look overrun after moving back to their 4-4-2 formation which they’ve not played a full 90 minutes [...]
I’m going to try something a little bit different for this match report, such is my anger at witnessing what I’ve just seen. Quite simply we were outplayed at Wigan and deserved to lose heavily. I have no complaints, certainly with regard to Wigan anyway. Hats off to them. However [...]
Newcastle continued applying pressure in the race for the Champions League with a well deserved victory over Stoke City this afternoon. Yohan Cabaye and Papiss Cisse gave Newcastle and early foothold in a game the hosts never really looked like losing, before Cabaye scored his second of the game to [...]
As games though, I think it’s fair to say that this one won’t be filed in the ‘classics’ archive. In fact for that bulk of the match everything was finely poised, with the hosts even looking like conceding a goal, until Hatem Ben Arfa produced a moment of magic to [...]
Newcastle won at The Liberty Stadium this afternoon courtesy of two goals from our new number nine Papiss Demba Cisse. Much of the pre-match talk was about Swansea and their possession game, which was going to be the case in fairness as they are good at it. However the amount [...]
Newcastle took another step closer to Europe today beating Liverpool 2-0 at St James Park. Papiss Cisse carried on his good goal scoring start with another two goals. The win takes us 10 points clear of Everton in 7th and 11 points clear of Liverpool in 8th. But in my [...]
Yesterday proved to be another “Super Sunday” for Newcastle as it saw us beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at the Hawthorns, a ground that’s not been fruitful for us in the last few seasons. The game was an outstanding away performance, something which many didn’t expect. Jamie Redknapp even went [...]
Welcome one and all to yet another Sunday afternoon ‘Game On’ article, which this time will see us do battle with Roy Hodgson’s West Bromwich Albion. Generally speaking we rarely turn up these days when we travel to the Hawthorns, but with the incentive of cementing 6th place and catching [...]
