In our brilliant performance against West Brom at the weekend, we seen a new formation used by us. I want to ask the question, is 4-3-3 the way forward? Now I was at the game myself and when the team got announced I just assumed it would be the standard [...]
Based on a recent debate on this site about Yohan Cabaye and how effective he actually is in comparison to Danny Guthrie, I wanted to do some digging and see what I found. Below are a range of statistics covering four areas.. general.. passing… attacking… and defensive. The left column [...]
That uninspiring, innovation-lacking second half on Saturday at home to Wolves left a string of NUFC fans scratching their heads at the team’s ability to punish ‘lesser’ opposition and finish them off. The further question of, ‘why and how often does this happen’ led NUFC_Stats to take a deeper glance [...]
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 [...]

Newcastle United consolidated their position in fifth place with a hard fought 2-1 victory over Aston Villa yesterday. The match saw the return of Shay Given to his former club and the game was a mostly scrappy affair but the two Demba’s provided the goods for the Geordie faithful and [...]
With our paper-thin squad now just crossing the season half-way mark and our two talismen leaving for their respective international duties, NUFC’s starting XI is starting to need a little re-moulding. Who will be given the mantle up front? Is Danny Guthrie really the man to replace Cheik Tiote? Will [...]
15 games in and creeping towards the hectic Christmas schedule, Newcastle United sit tightly in the upper regions of the Barclays Premier League, squeezed out of the UEFA Cup spots by only 3 points and goal difference. 7 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses and 26 points out of 45 make [...]
Last weekend seemed to be a weekend to forget for Alan Pardew after losing both of his centre-backs to injury. Steven Taylor is out for the season and Fabricio Coloccini is rated as ‘touch and go’ for this afternoons trip to Norwich City. Pardew’s pre-match press conference dealt further bad [...]
