Friday, March 12th, 2010A funny interview of Alan Shearer done by the Guardian’s Small Talk columnist:
Interviewer: Apart from a football, did you have a favourite toy when you were a child?
Shearer: [Triumphantly] Yes, a goalpost.
Much later…
Interviewer: Alan, can you tell us a joke?
Shearer: Yeah, your questions.

Superheroes Swing Into St James Park
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010The appearance of Spider-man topped two excellent results over the past couple of weeks, Newcastle seem poised to win the league. Despite West Brom cutting down an 8 pt lead to 6pts last night, the wind in our sails as we look to take on North East rivals, Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Some clinical finishing against Watford [...]
Newcastle Fans Keen To Kick Ashley Out
Friday, November 13th, 2009An audacious buy-out campaign headed by NUST (Newcastle United Supporters Trust) was launched on Tuesday to end Ashley’s reign of terror once and for all. They’ve already snubbed a proposed meeting by Llambias citing reasons that the initiative was too young to get anything meaningful from the meeting. Fair enough.
Using Barack Obama inspired slogan ‘Yes We Can‘, the NUST has [...]
Ashley Set To Retain Newcastle United?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Selling Newcastle United over the summer is like selling an overpriced dodgy motor that’s desperately in need of some new parts. To make matters worse, the salesman ain’t been too great either. For an acute business man who made millions flogging cheap sports wear, it baffles me why Ashley takes the decisions he does at [...]
Scrappy Championship Debut For Newcastle United in One-All Draw
Saturday, August 8th, 2009It wasn’t exactly the dream start to the Championship that the team wanted but some hard work proved enough to grab a draw in our first match as a Championship club. Both us and West Brom fought frantically at times to grab goals and luckily a offside call in the dying minutes ensured that the [...]
Descent In The Ranks As Newcastle Sale Saga Drags On and On and On…
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Looks like the Laurel and Hardy outfit that is Ashley and Llambias have once again dropped the ball with the sale of Newcastle. Opening up the finances, according to the Guardian yesterday, had basically uncovered a whole gallery of pitfalls and money holes. They are finding it a hard sell. Over the weekend I learned [...]
Freddy Shepherd Returns?
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009It was declared two days ago that Freddy Shepherd had managed to put together a £60 m bid to buy back the club he had sold to Ashley. Today, it is reported that Shepherd sounds a little more cautious about a sweeping return back to save Newcastle United (let’s face it that’s what a new [...]
More Speculation Regarding sale of Newcastle United (UPDATED)
Thursday, June 25th, 2009We could be reading too much into this but the Evening Chronicle has sources saying that a highly important meeting is happening tomorrow in London regards to the sale of the club. More significantly, Shearer has been requested to attend along with club secretary, Lee Charnley.
I’m not going to speculate about this. However, if Shearer [...]
Reality Bites as Owen Says Goodbye
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009I actually had this headline saved and stored since January so it saddens me slightly that I have to use it today. Michael Owen confirmed yesterday that he will be no longer a Newcastle United player at the end of the month. No big surprise at all considering the huge wage burden he has for [...]
Newcastle United Sale Delayed
Friday, June 19th, 2009Despite Derek Llambia’s statement made earlier on in the week, the Guardian reports that any developments would not happen until the end of the month. Personally, I had a little hope that something would be announced today but I don’t think that would be the case. I did have my doubts and cynicism with Llambias’ [...]
