Isn’t it just what we’ve always wanted? The pundits are not talking about us for a change and yet some supporters seem unable to accept this. Surely we should be grateful that Paul Merson and Co can’t be bothered to talk about Newcastle United as serious contenders for Europe and [...]
With no football about and very little news around to float my writing boat I’ve had to think about subjects to write about a bit more than what I would have to do normally. So with that I’ve really been thinking about our team, our fortunes, and what we need [...]
Newcastle United transfer target Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has admitted that he would prefer to move to England ahead of anywhere else should he be destined to leave Montpellier in the summer. The Magpies were linked with the Montpellier captain last month as they looked to boost the depth of their defence [...]
From the first minute until the final whistle, Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham side dominated proceedings at White Hart Lane in a match that I consider to be our biggest humbling of the season. It was humiliating. A shocking performance in which we showed very little energy and no fight whatsoever. The lads looked drained and, in [...]
Times change and often with it do clubs. For Newcastle, the roller-coaster ride of the past twenty years has brought with it more changes than I care to remember, a lot of them for the worse. Despite changes in management, ownership and most of all a succession of squads, some [...]
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 [...]
Now before you go all crazy and tell me that we’re in the top six currently I’d like to clarify two things. 1 – I’m aware of our league position. 2 – I want to discuss how far you think we are away from being a regular top-six side. Should [...]
I see that Papiss Demba Cisse had been called up for his national team – Senegal – for a friendly against South Africa later this month. Now I don’t have a problem with players playing for their country whatsoever, but when it interferes with a season and is a meaningless [...]
So far the season has fallen into two distinct periods, and in my opinion we are about to enter the third and final phase. The first 11 games saw us pick up 25 points (2.27ptspg). We had won seven games, drawn four, were unbeaten, scored 17, conceded only eight with [...]
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 [...]
