  This Newcastle United Mess Requires Urgent Action

  Author: Ghostfacekillah For a long time it felt like the club was almost intentionally aiming to self-destruct. Ashley was hands-on, appointing the wrong people here, there and everywhere, wanting to run the club like he would one of his retail outlets. That was bad enough, and it took us down a division on two separate occasions. This current crisis though feels like something new. He apparently has no interest in the club, he desperately wants to sell it, he has exhausted all managerial options with […]

  United 0 Chelsea 2: Shot-Shy Newcastle Clueless Again

  I don’t know if any of you stayed with BT Sport to watch the after match analysis? I usually don’t, even if we win I have no interest. But I did today, as Jake Humphrey is always flying the flag for us as fans. I am paraphrasing, and maybe changing the odd word, but the gist of it was that when you stand inside the ground and watch the rubbish we served up today, you can totally understand why the fans are kicking off like […]

  Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 4 – Fan Rant!

  Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 4 This game was like every single other game under Bruce. No shape, no strategy, no going after the opposition’s main weakness. Just 11 blobs thrown out on the pitch, no doubt with the rhetoric of “let’s get up and at em boys!”. Thank you so much Steve Bruce, for systematically taking apart everything that Rafa Benitez built. We have the best squad of players we have had for years, and we are also playing the worst football we have […]

  Newcastle United Takeover News: Bellagraph Nova Again?

  The BBC are reporting today that they have recently had an exclusive interview with Evangeline Shen, one of the owners of Singapore-based Bellagraph Nova, the company who insist they are serious bidders to take over Newcastle United. This company first came to prominence in August when they were said to have put a bid of £280M to current United owner Mike Ashley. Research into the company at the time led to some doubts as to their operation, and this was not helped when it was […]

  The Handball Debate Rages After Newcastle United Draw At Tottenham

  Tottenham Hotspur 1 Newcastle United 1 Well, an undeserved draw after another very poor display. To be honest, I am less annoyed by VAR itself than I am by the braying mob of dullards who constantly whine about it. I have to say something about the constant whinging of the pundit classes about these penalty awards. First of all I’d like to know which moron ever introduced the idea of ‘intent’ into the laws of a game like football? Greater minds than any that has […]

  Things Are Looking Really Bad Already For Newcastle United

  Things are looking really bad for Newcastle United even this early in the season. By any reasonable metric we have improved our squad over last season. We have greater depth and more choice in more positions; the players we have brought in have addressed and strengthened some of the most obvious weaknesses in our squad. Yet the performance against Brighton and that in the Carabau Cup against Blackburn last Tuesday have already demonstrated that the team on the pitch lacks discipline and an understanding of […]

  Excited About Newcastle United’s New Season? Nope, Me Neither!

  Can this year get any crazier? Leaving aside the deadly Covid_19 plague that currently has society thoroughly disrupted and our hapless, useless Prime Minister and equally inept government in total disarray, there was the small matter of events at Newcastle United. To describe what happened is getting difficult now, as it sinks in what might have been and the chance we have lost. Or more accurately, the chance which was denied us by a Premier League that couldn’t run a drinks party in a brewery. […]
