So we know we’ll be in the Europa League next season, but how far can we go in that particular competition? Much of that will depend on what happens over the summer, but it’s not exactly a new experience, either for us or for the players. It may have been [...]
The time is nearly upon us where we start to ponder awards and accolades for players who we feel have earned them over the course of the season. Whilst I’m going to hang fire on the full blown Player of the Season vote for now, I do think that it’s [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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.

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 [...]
Much has been covered over the past week or so of the arrival of Papiss Demba Cisse, the Senegalese front man being a superb coup for Newcastle United in a stage in their maturation where it didn’t look like signings like that were any longer possible. And, there is no [...]
It has occurred to me that ever since the defeat to Fulham, a lot of the optimism shown in the previous week after has evaporated. While our second half performance against Fulham was shocking, I don’t feel the need to push the panic button just yet. There is obviously room [...]
At the start of this season most pundits and journalists for the national papers had Newcastle United marked down as relegation fodder. That feeling was shared with a minority of fans in fairness although most expected a season of stagnation. However, I don’t think even the most optimistic of our [...]
