Brilliant Result – But Are Newcastle United Having Problems Emulating Last Season?

AC Milan 0 Newcastle United 0 We got a point, and before the game that would have been a great result, after the game and having seen how little threat we provided and how we rode our luck, it’s an amazing result. Like everything so far this season, Villa game aside, I haven’t enjoyed watching us play. I was trying to put my finger on during the match, and maybe it’s because last season there were no expectations, we just rode the crest of a […]
Newcastle United Performances Are A Worry

Hindsight is great, but you look back at our recent transfer window now and it raises some major questions. 35-40 million on Livramento, reserve right back. 35-40 million on Barnes, reserve left winger, meanwhile we have Almiron on the right wing, who consistently fails to deliver and desperately needed upgrading, and a central defence that is in genuine turmoil if we get one injury. We are not Man City, we can’t drop 80 million on 2 backup players, we are still very much in the […]
Top Four Toon at Tottenham: Reaction

What a massive 3 points! You look at how Spurs have played this season and before the game. I looked at it and thought a point would be a good result, but deep down I thought we were capable of beating them. And to go and actually do it is massive. Laughable to listen to the media coverage after the game, talking about the injuries to key Spurs players. Not one mention of Allan St-Maximin, Alexander Isak and Jonjo Shelvey (only just back). All 3 […]
A Day In The Life Of A Newcastle United Fan/Protester

3.00am Alarm goes off I think to myself should I just turn over and have an extra half hour? No, I get up and put the Coffee on as my taxi is booked for 4.20am to take me to St James Park for the bus pick up at 5am. Anyway after a gruelling coach journey of 6hrs 15mins we arrived in London, Parliament Square and met up with others who had travelled down independently. Then at 1.00pm, we unfurled all the flags and banners with […]
Newcastle United v Aston Villa Preview

“Callum is four weeks in, so we’re seeing him on the grass and he’s progressing, That goes for Allan and Almiron as well.” Not my words, but the words of Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce trying to give an update on the injuries to his key attacking players. It isn’t clear what Callum is actually “in” and the least said about him (or Allan or Almiron) being “on the grass” the better! If anyone knows what Mr Bruce was actually trying to say – answers […]
Run A Match In March For Sir Bobby Robson’s Charity

Today (18th February) is Sir Bobby Robson’s birthday. He would have been 88 and, as Lady Elsie puts it, “incredibly proud” at everything his cancer charity has gone on to achieve. Thanks to fantastic, ongoing support from its fundraisers, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation funds a range of cutting-edge cancer treatment and innovative cancer support services that directly benefit patients from across the North East and Cumbria. Now the Foundation has announced a new fundraising activity, Sir Bobby’s Football Run, to help support the work […]
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 […]
