It has been confoirmed today that Newcastle defender Steven Taylor will be sidelined for three months with the shoulder injury sustained at Carlisle nearly two weeks back.
It’s a huge blow for both the player and the team as Newcastle look to use this season to consolidate their place in the Premier League, although the signing [...]

Newcastle have today confirmed that they have secured the services of 35-year old Sol Campbell on a one year deal.
Campbell will take the previously vacant number 5 jersey and will bring with him a whole host of experience that will hopefully help Newcastle establish themselves back in the top flight.
Although Campbell is appraoching the end [...]

The treatment at St James’ Park is already beginning to fill up, even before a ball has been kicked in the Premier League.
It is worrying that we seem to be losing players left, right and centre due to injury, but an additional concern is the amount of time that players will be out because of [...]

Life at Newcastle is ticking along relatively nicely at the moment. There are still times of mild turbulence but certainly nothing compared to what we had to experience this time last year.
Come to think about it, the only real bone of contention this summer is over how much money we will, or won’t, be spending [...]

The disappointing this is [...]

It is a move that has been expected by a lot of people, but to day it has finally been confirmed that Andy Carroll will wear the famous number 9 shirt for Newcastle.
Carroll will be following in the footspteps of legends like Alan Shearer and Jackie Milburn from this season as he looks to carry [...]

I guess it was inevitable that at some point over the summer Sol Campbell would be linked with a move to Newcastle.
That rumour has resurfaced again, and there are even claims from some quarters that hint that a deal may already be in place.
I doubt that though as Campbell was off getting married yesterday [...]

Pre-season kicked off properly this afternoon as Newcastle travelled cross country to Cumbria to tackle Carlisle in what was our first friendly match in the run up to the new season.

The game may not have panned out as easy as the headline or scoreline suggets and the Newcastle players will head home this evening knowing [...]

It’s here, it’s finally here, well nearly anyway.
Newcastle United’s pre-season campaign kicks off in earnest tomorrow (Saturday) as preparations for the new season finally get underway properly.
Of course there has been lots of training going on behind the scenes, particularly over in Ireland, but tomorrow is our first proper chance to see the lads [...]
