Thursday, August 30th, 2007Travelling Wigan come to St James’ Park on the back of a Carling Cup defeat against Hull midweek. No such worries for the Mags but injuries sustained on Sunday’s derby leave us a thin at the back. The possibility of Solano returning to the left back is certainly an option, however both Capaca and Enrique [...]

Kieron Dyer – The World’s Unluckiest Footballer
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007It seems it is not possible to seperate the name “Dyer” and “Injury” these days. Last night Kieron Dyer was stretchered off for West Ham after a clumsy tackle by Bristol Rovers’ Joe Jacobson. It is believed that Dyer has suffered a two breaks in his leg and without being presumptive, he would probably be out [...]
Owen and Shola Pair Up to Take On Barnsley
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Sam Allardyce has called up Michael Owen, Shola Ameobi and Jose Enrique to make up part of his squad for the Wednesday evenings match against Barnsley.

Ashley! Martins! Newcastle United! News Speculation Overdrive!
Sunday, August 26th, 2007The tabloids had a field day with Newcastle United. The News of the World today resurrected the old Martins-to-Arsenal story today.

Middlesbrough V Newcastle United – Match Review
Sunday, August 26th, 2007An interesting team sheet for Newcastle as Owen sits on the bench as Allardyce prefers to not take any chances with the 28 year old stiker. Disappointing as I would have preferred Owen at least starting. Instead Viduka takes his place and pairs up with Martins. The expectations and atmosphere at the Riverside was excellent. [...]

When Roy Keane’s not content with having a go at wives and girlfriends, he’s signing up ex-Toon boys into his squad instead.
Ex-Toon [...]
