Joey Barton
« Previous EntriesJoey Barton Given The Boot
Monday, August 1st, 2011Newcastle United have finally given up on Joey Barton and allowed him to leave on free transfer. Using Twitter as a forum for publishing outspoken comments, Barton is no stranger to courting controversy. Barton now has free rein to go to whichever club that wants him. Newcastle originally wanted to sell Barton who only had [...]
Nolan Gone. Any more unpleasant surprises?
Thursday, June 23rd, 2011It was a shock to see Kevin Nolan leaving St James’ Park a few weeks back. He’s been a true highlight of the season and at least deserved some serious talks to get the right contract. He’s now packed his bags and gone to the Hammers. It clearly sends a message to players that even [...]
Sensational Draw Puts Newcastle In The History Books
Sunday, February 6th, 2011On a day of high excitement, but elsewhere across the country. Results swung to either side but nothing really matched what happened in St James’ Park. After about 26mins played and 4 goals down, Newcastle managed to make the king of comebacks. If I were a betting man and placed a few sports bets on [...]
What Now For Pardew?
Friday, December 17th, 2010Alan Pardew has been given the opportunity to put together the transfer list he wants. Obviously, the money won’t be there in spades but he’ll have to consider selling players to make up any shortfall. Potentially names to exit include Steven Taylor who is still going through difficult contract negations which seem to end up going nowhere. [...]
Pardew’s Era Starts With Outstanding Win
Saturday, December 11th, 2010It was bound to happen, no matter how unlikely as it would seem. Alan Pardew came into St James’ Park with the tiniest of fanfares but would he leave a legacy felt for years to come? On today’s evidence, it’s still anybody’s guess but a 3-1 win over Liverpool is nothing to be scoffed at. [...]
Barton Charged With Misconduct – UPDATED
Thursday, November 11th, 2010Joey Barton has been charged with violent conduct on a alleged punch to Pedersen in last night’s loss to Blackburn at home. The incident happened around the beginning of the second half and was not seen by the referee, Mike Jones, at the time. It would now mean that Barton will most likely miss the [...]
Carroll Heroics Attract England Call Up Talk
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Andy Carroll was once again the hero on the pitch but was comfortably taking the villain tag just as easily off it. The win that Newcastle Utd inflicted on Arsenal at the Emriates Stadium was hugely important in galvanising Hughton’s position as manager but also his insistence to play Carroll despite his ongoing troubles in his personal life. Carroll’s antics took a turn for the [...]
Horror Show For Sunderland
Monday, November 1st, 2010It was Halloween but the only thing left spooked was the Sunderland defence and Bramble. Newcastle United put on a brilliant display with Carroll, Ameobi, Nolan and Barton putting the frighteners on Sunderland. The scoreline at the end was 5-1 with Darren Bent managing to pop in the only goal but it was too little [...]
Nolan tucks Carroll into bed each night
Monday, October 25th, 2010“Kevin looks after him, and they get on well.” “He makes sure he has his supper at the right time and makes sure he gets to bed on time!” Those were the hilarious words from Hughton in a press conference ahead of Wednesday nights FA Cup clash with Arsenal. Today, Carroll was £1000 lighter in his wallet [...]
Newcastle United Do Some Hammering!
Saturday, October 23rd, 2010Supporting Newcastle has always left me a nervous wreck on many occasions. These last couple of matches have certainly would have killed me if it hadn’t been for the assured performances of some of the players on the pitch. Take today for instance. 4,000 fans gathered to watch what was going to be a decisive match [...]
