Much of the focus of this season has been on our “big hitters” such as Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye, Cheik Tiote, Tim Krul, Fabricio Coloccini and, more recently, Papiss Demba Cisse. However I’d like to spare a thought for some of the unsung heroes of the season. The ones who [...]
James Perch is becoming a bit of a cult hero these days. Well, to me he is anyway… Of course he isn’t the greatest player to have even graced the black and white stripes, but he does give his all or the cause which goes a long long way in [...]
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, [...]
Newcastle’s squad size has been questioned a number of times, but there was sufficient evidence present in the match against Aston Vila that they are more than able to cope without their biggest stars in the fold. Danny Guthrie has been an able deputy for Yohan Cabaye whilst he has [...]
Not one of us fans had the foggiest idea with regards to our club’s plans for this January transfer window. Alan Pardew went and told us that we were signing a defender and that was all we knew. So what happened? Lets be honest, we were expecting to lose one [...]
So far in this series we’ve looked at Danny Guthrie, Haris Vuckic, Shola Ameobi, Shane Ferguson and Tamas Kadar. It’s been a while since I wrote one of these articles, so today we discuss and vote on ex-Nottingham Forest star and current NUFC utility man James Perch. He was signed [...]
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 [...]
Saturday seemed to be the day where the luck ran out as both of our centre-backs succumbed to injury. This was one of the sore points for Alan Pardew in his post-match musings as he, quite rightly, bemoaned the loss of his first-choice centre-backs through injury. In the 28th minute [...]
With the January transfer window looming Alan Pardew has stated that he wants two players, one being a striker, the other a defender. Now with the striker seemingly all but signed up I thought I would focus on which potential defender we could sign, with a number of players already [...]
