Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Chris Hughton and board have had enough of Steven Taylor’s demands for his new contract and put up our long-serving defender up for sale. Currently Taylor commands a £40k weekly salary but rumours the 24yr old player wants £60k. That is something the board have shrugged at and put the player on the transfer out [...]
Newcastle United Annihilate Aston Villa 6-0!
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010Some can call it vengeance but Newcastle United finally got off their Premiership campaign with a monumental scoreline to rival Chelsea and Arsenal results on Saturday. Joey Barton played fantastically well in midfield and it seemed fitting that our moustachio-ed friend would start off our impossible scoreline. It was nearly about to be Aston Villa’s day with a early penalty attempt [...]
Some Good Team News
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Possibly. The Shields Gazette reports that Danny Gutherie and Lovenkrands may be fit for selection on Sunday against Villa. Chris Hughton said: “Danny felt his knee two days ago, and Peter felt his groin the day before the game,” “They both travelled, and we expected both of them to be fit. It was a bit [...]
Andy Carroll Rues Missed Chance
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010For much of the first 30minutes of the match last night, Newcastle Utd played with energy and threat. Andy Carroll did come close to scoring with a header from a Barton corner. It wasn’t to be as the ball flew off target. Speaking on the official site, Carroll said: “I had my chance, and I [...]
Business as Usual for Manchester United
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010It was always a possibility on paper – away match at Old Trafford and a Monday Evening kick off. Berbatov, Fletcher and Ryan Giggs provided all three goals to end a rather miserable night for the Mags. Well, we didn’t take a 6-0 thrashing from the old masters at least and we started off the [...]

Monday, August 16th, 2010Good to hear the Newcastle players talk the game up but can they deliver in Old Trafford? We shall see in a few hours time. Team news shows that Sol Campbell will probably not feature due to fitness issues but possibly the back line up to consist of Williamson, Enrique, Perch and Coloccini. Injuries still [...]
A New Breed of Petulance
Monday, August 16th, 2010It sad that sometimes a professional doesn’t seem to grasp the fundamentals of what a contract actually means. We’ve seen it time and again during a season but at the start? I’m referring to players who seem to throw the dummy out of the pram with an aim for getting a ticket out of the [...]

Leon Best Injury Worry
Thursday, August 12th, 2010Looks like our young striker will not have the best of starts for the Premiership. An injury sustained on Tuesday means that Leon Best will be sidelined for possibly up to three months. A suspected ruptured ankle ligament injury could mean that we’ll be without the services of Best who’s yet to prove himself to [...]
Robbie Savage Predicts Newcastle Drop
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010“World class” pundit, Robbie Savage mentioned in an interview that Newcastle are in fact going to drop this season. Here’s the exact quote: “I think Newcastle will go down, they were the stand-out team in our league but we beat them 3-0 at home and drew at their place. Unless they add ten or 12 [...]
