Expectation Overdrive At Newcastle United
Monday, August 24th, 2009We win a few games and people start to think we have already been promoted! Once again the heavy weight of expectation has been placed on the shoulders of our squad. It’s funny as some circles in the media had written us off completely and some even fancied that we might go down to League [...]

Friday, August 7th, 2009With all the comments said in the papers and what Mike Ashley is doing to the club , I’d thought I’d spare a thought for the eleven men who will step out on the pitch tomorrow to start our Championship campaign. I’d like to first admit that I’ve had times when I’ve not been glowing [...]
