Again I see The Chronicle has had one of its “I told you so” kind of digs at fans of NUFC. It’s baffling considering that the following of NUFC is the bread and butter of The Chronicle but hey ho… Anyway it has provided me with a talking point, and [...]
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 [...]
Alan Pardew has revealed that Mike Ashley has urged the team to seize the moment and capture Champions League football. Newcastle currently sit in 4th place in the table, three points ahead of 5th place Tottenham Hotspur and three points behind 3rd placed Arsenal. With a trip to relegation threatened [...]
I’ve been having a good deep think lately about how far this club can go under this regime and I have come to the conclusion that if it continues to progress, however slow, I think we can actually legitimately challenge up top, bordering on a flirt with the title within [...]

With the hierarchy of our club showing very little, if any, urgency in sorting out the contract of club captain Fabricio Coloccini, one can’t help but wonder what life on Tyneside would be like without our curly-haired hero. Having signed from Spanish outfit Deportivo La Coruña for a fee of £10m in [...]
Interesting to see today that Mike Ashley has sent the heavies round to St James’ Park armed with crowbars to rip down any remaining signage that pointed towards well over 100 years of footballing and local history. You really couldn’t get any more stereotypical if you tried. Perhaps they should [...]
