This time of year is usually pretty hot for awards being dished out to players and managers for various achievements they’ve managed throughout the season. We’ve already had Signing of the Season and Goal of the Season, although admittedly that was before Papiss Cisse rewrote the book of Physics with [...]
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 [...]
Hatem Ben Arfa has been with Newcastle United for around two seasons, although much of that time he has spent on the side lines after Nigel de Jong’s horror tackle resulted in a horrific break injury. In that time, we have heard Hatem speak of “growing up emotionally” and reaching [...]
Many Toon fans are still in shock at the signing of Papiss Demba Cisse, not only with the stature of the signing, but also the amount of investment made. However, apart from media hype, just how much do we know about him, and just what does he potentially have to [...]

Joey Barton has launched a fresh attack on Newcastle owner and Managing Director, Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias, labelling the two of them “cretins” in the process. Speaking on QPR Pocast ‘Open All R’s’, Barton also claimed that he was not paid whilst in prison and was offered an ultimatum [...]
I started off writing this article about Tim Krul, but after a few moments of deliberation I thought it would be unfair to just focus on one player. Essentially I was wondering just how far Tim Krul can go in his career after what has been an exceptional start to [...]
