Dissecting Our Away Form
Monday, October 29th, 2007The critics had the knives out for Allardyce and the team after letting another away game slip from our fingers. It seems when we play arguably average sides(Reading or Derby County anyone?) , we can make them look and play like Barcelona!

January Transfer Speculation Begins

Away Form Disappoints Again! Reading Win 2-1
Sunday, October 28th, 2007It’s not the first time this season where Newcastle fall flat and give away stupid goals from an away match. Whatever the cause, we have a genuine problem sowing up games and performing like a team with a mission to win when we hit the road. I can cite Man City and Derby as examples [...]
Reading v NUFC Kick Off 15:00GMT – 27.10.07

Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur 22/10/07 20:00 Kick Off
Friday, October 19th, 2007To say Martin Jol has had a tough time at White Hart Lane is the understatement of the year. He’s had a torrid time so far this season constantly having to justify the poor performances on the pitch and also his extravagant spending over the summer transfer season. So far, Spurs veteran, Robbie Keane has [...]

McClaren’s job is practically hanging on a favourable result between Russia and Israel. It’s a tough situation for the beleagured McClaren.

This Week’s Developments
Thursday, October 18th, 2007After the gruelling Internationals, players return back to do duties for their clubs. Owen comes back into the Newcastle fold putting behind him a dismal defeat to Russia.
