« Previous EntriesA Brief Moment to Consider the Facts about Newcastle United
Friday, June 12th, 2009After the past few days of what’s being said about Ashley & co. I’ll give all that a rest and try to look at what we do know. Forget about the apparent appearance of a £150m bid for the club this morning , it’s been labelled a hoax. The facts: we know at least that [...]
Ronaldo is Ugly
Thursday, March 5th, 2009A tunnel bust up between pretty boy Christano Ronaldo and Steven Taylor provided one of the highlights in last night’s match. The fracas aside, Newcastle did a fair job in worrying the Champions for much of the first half. A unexpected goalkeeping error ended Van der Sar’s record of 14 consecutive clean sheets in the [...]
Given is a Goner; N’Zogbia Ships Out; Good News on the Horizion?
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009After our timid transfer window closes, we can look back at a month where Newcastle made a profit on players but did little to steady fan nerves. Any suggestion that Newcastle were going to strengthen was firmly set aside as Dennis Wise failed to secure us the much needed players to fortify the team amidst [...]
Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur Preview – 21/12/08
Friday, December 19th, 2008Looking at the table and our upcoming matches, we really need to pick up points over the remainder of the year. Spurs have been heading in the right direction since Harry Redknapp took over from the woefully ineffectual Ramos a few months back. We all know the history of Redknapp and how he turned down [...]
The Word That We Dread To Hear!
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Injuries! But not so much how but who. We’ve taken our (un)fair share of injuries over the past few years. Managers have paced up and down in cold sweats trying the figure out how to cover injured players. Some even spontaneously developed kidney stones! This time, we can have a big concern about Obafemi Martins. [...]
Newcastle United News Roundup
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008The eve of the Boro match was greeted by the long term securement of Mr Kinnear’s services. It is now been confirmed that he does have a war chest to buy new players. Although I suspect that Kinnear may in fact have to sell even though he said he wouldn’t. At least we will know that new players [...]
Newcastle Utd 2 – 2 Wigan: Disappointing
Monday, November 17th, 2008Two goals from Owen and Martins masked a diffcult and frustrating match for Newcastle on Saturday. The biggest irony was allowing Titus Bramble to head the ball for a goal at the dying minutes of the match when Obifemi Martins gave us the lead at the 89th minute. Bramble, whose bumbling exploits as a Newcastle player [...]
Newcastle United 2 – 0 Aston Villa – This Is More Like It!
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Who would have thought it! Bottom of the league and in a bit of a sticky situation compared to the rest of the clubs in the Premiership. But trust Newcastle to come up with that little bit of spirit to silence the critics. Who knows what the real story is behind our temperament but the architect [...]
Newcastle United 2 – West Brom 1 – A Step Out Of The Wilderness
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008No doubt the talking point of this match would be Joey Barton’s return to first team selection and that penalty. He did it at Craven Cottage last year and he did it again last night taking the ball from Martins, who was designated penalty taker of the team. He slotted it in easily to go [...]
Injury Jinx Returns to Haunt Keegan
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Must be something in the water as the injury problems start to mount in the squad. Reports suggest that ObaFemi Martins, Mark Viduka and Duffers will be out of action for another 4 weeks. Viduka and Duff aren’t really strangers to the St James’ Park medical room but that hasn’t stopped the squad from being [...]
