« Previous EntriesFootball Club For Sale – One Careless Owner
Sunday, May 31st, 2009Looks like Mike Ashley has seen which direction the wind was blowing and once again decided to sell the club. The figure could be as low as £80m as Ashley faces up to a massive loss from an initial £135m investment. Whether a consortium will show up is yet to be seen but we unfortunately already [...]
Apology from Ashley – Rebuilding Newcastle United
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009To me it was a little late coming but Mike Ashley finally acknowledged his role in the whole relegation saga. In a statement, Mr Ashley said:
“Seeing Newcastle United relegated from the Premier League has been a catastrophe for us all,” he said.
“I fully accept that mistakes were made during this and previous seasons [...]
We Need Winners At Newcastle
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Speculation about who will remain and who will be kicked out is high on the agenda with any Newcastle United fan these days. However, despite all that talk we need a decent manager to galvanise the team for a rough year ahead. Alan Shearer is certainly high on the list after honouring his eight game [...]
Down and Out – Newcastle Slide Into Championship Football
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Make no doubt about it, based on the display on Sunday, Newcastle deserved what was coming. A stray deflection off Damien Duff’s foot was enough to steer our hapless and unlucky club to the Championship league. Not to mention the poor second half performance at Villa Park but then again our performance as a team [...]
Showdown At Villa Park – Will Newcastle Go Up or Down?
Friday, May 22nd, 2009I’ve been dreading the last match of the season since the start of the week. It’s been like a dark cloud hanging over me. The crunch match on Sunday will be a thrilling spectacle of guts and determination from Newcastle United. I’m pretty sure of it. We have some injuries on the cards namely Beye. [...]
Shearer Backs Owen To Respond To Criticism
Friday, May 15th, 2009Today, the Owen question rages on with nay -sayers (including myself) discounting our Striker’s usefulness on the pitch. Alan Shearer robustily denyed that Owen was contemplating retirement come the summer, promptly calling claims “totally ludicrous and totally untrue”.
He continued:
”I understand why the question has been asked about Michael because he needs a goal, just like [...]
The Times Lists Top 50 Newcastle United Players
Thursday, May 14th, 2009The Times online lists what it thinks are the best 50 players ever to set foot in the club. We can rule out Titus Bramble being in there but the likes of Beardsley , Ferdinand, Keegan and of course, Milburn, all feature.
The author goes at pains to state that this is his personal preference so [...]
Newcastle United Still Have Much To Do
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Its not over yet. To stand a chance of staying in the Premiership still requires Shearer’s side to produce another stellar home performance. Can they do this again with Fulham on Saturday? I’m sure they can but a major question mark hangs over Michael Owen at the moment. Papers have been speculating that Owen has [...]
Hope Returns To Newcastle United
Monday, May 11th, 2009Billed as the £100m game, Newcastle started off the best of the two sides in this crucial derby match. Both side languishing at the bottom af the league. It was a silly moment that allowed a rebound off Habib Beye into his own net. But something happened which never happened before, we didn’t hang our heads [...]
Crucial Match Awaits – Newcastle v Middlesbrough
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009After Barton dragging the club down again, players and fans are rallying around Shearer’s attempts to keep us afloat. As far as I’m concerned Barton has used his last lifeline and its time he was sent packing.
As we wash ourselves of Joey Barton, we must turn back to more pressing matters such as Premiership survival. [...]
