  Are Newcastle United Safe Yet? No We Are Not!

  Are we safe yet? That’s the question most United fans are concerned about. Have we done enough to stay in the Premier League so that we can spend another dreary, wasted season under the clueless Ashley and Bruce? Well, before the Arsenal result yesterday, I reckon most of us were quite confident. We’d had a mini-run of better results and had hauled ourselves 9 points clear of 3rd bottom Fulham. And this belief was reinforced when, as expected, Fulham lost to Chelsea. That mini-run of […]

  Newcastle United Supporters Trust Announce Major Opportunity For United Fans

  Thursday 8th April 2021 could one day prove to be a major milestone in the history of Newcastle United, and in particular the club’s magnificent but long-suffering fans. It is the day on which the Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) announced a significant initiative – the 1892 Pledge inviting fans to band together to build up over time a fund which would be used to buy a stake in the club should Mike Ashley eventually sell to a new owner. Worth noting that this is […]

  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 […]

  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 […]
