Andy Carroll has reassured fans who are concerned about where our goals are going to come from this season by hinting that all we need to do is back him and he will do the business for us.
Carroll didn’t manage to find the net in pre-season but is confident that when it gets down to [...]

Jonas Gutierrez returned to action for Newcastle on Tuesday night, and quickly paid tribute to boss Chris Hughton whilst comparing him to ex-Argentina boss Diego Maradona.
Now I’m not sure how happy Chris Hughton will be when he hears that he is held in the same regard as the former Cocaine addict….. I kid, I kid. [...]

It seems that the delusion at Newcastle isn’t just restricted to a certain amount of fans like the press would have us believe.
Now the players are getting in on the act aswell, especially after the latest claim from Sol Campbell that the club should be aiming for Europe this season.
The expectation of most fans [...]

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 [...]

Spanish striker Xisco is back on Tyneside, and back in the black and white stripes, which has come as a surprise really as most fans expected him to be shoved out the back door over the summer.
It’s a match made from necessity rather than perhaps a match made in heaven, but now he is back [...]

The capture of Dan Gosling means that Newcastle have now increased their squad numbers by two this summer, but we can expect more new faces to come.
I wouldn’t expect any new faces to be established Premier League faces though, especially after what Chris Hughton has said today.
It’s pretty clear that there is money there, but [...]

Madcap midfielder Joey Barton is preparing for life back in the big time with Newcastle United, but he also has an England call-up firmly in his sights.
Perhaps ‘madcap’ was a bit harsh, although taking into account his previous misdemeanors it will no doubt take him some time to shake off that tag for good, and [...]

Kevin Nolan has launched a stinging attack aimed at the critics who are writing off Newcastle United’s survival chances already.
Nolan hit 18 goals and picked up the Player of the Season award last year as Newcastle waltzed the Championship, although I very much doubt that the same amount of goals will be scored by Nolan [...]

We haven’t heard anything from Steven Taylor for quite some time now, but that ended yesterday when he revealed contract talks were being held.
Now we are hearing from him again, which indicates that normal service is being resumed from him, about the whole Carroll/Taylor episode (aka Glassjawgate).
It has been a fertile source for rumour [...]
