Now, I’m not usually a bitter person, and usually I don’t hold grudges, well not for long anyway, but certain things do tend to stick in my mind from time to time.
A lot of those things that stick in my mind stem from our relagation season, bubbling away under the surface as I knew we [...]

When the curtain drew shut on the season just gone, Newcastle became only the fourth team since the shake up of the football pyramid to amass more than 100 points. But does that accolade stand us in good stead for our return to the Premier League?
Aside from us, the other teams that are part of [...]

Our unwashed friends from down the road have today had their say on just how they interpret the revelations that Newcastle could be the poor relations in the North East next season.
Sunderland Chairman Niall Quinn is wary of the statement issued by Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley that claims we wont be spending much money [...]

It looks like the love affair between Nedum Onuoha and Manchester City is coming to an abrupt end, and if it was up to me I would be straight in there making sure Newcastle United could benefit from it.
Onuoha appeared on Soccer AM yesterday and was less than complimentary about his current boss at Manchester [...]

Football’s most risible muckraker, The Guardian’s North East football correspondent, Louise Taylor, has declared war on football supporters with computers who have the nerve to queer her own pitch; spreading specious tittle tattle and general nastiness about virtually anyone associated with Newcastle United football club.

Well first of all, an amusing story of Freddie Shepherd and [...]

In a country well known for it’s love of lamb (easy tiger), there’s a new Chop on the menu. It’s not of the woolly variety though, it’s the history-making Michael Chopra and his scoring boots that has the city of Cardiff salivating.
Chops was breaking down the barriers back in 2006, when he became the first [...]

While fans are divided on their thoughts away from the pitch, it would be hard to argue that you’re not happy with the results on it. The football is hardly of the ‘total’ variety but in a results game, we’re grinding out the points where it counts and really, for now, that’s what matters most. [...]

H’way, h’way, it can’t be true? The deviants down the road are scavenging from our rotting squad? To be honest, I’m not sure where the rumour has materialised from but it’s said that they have joined a group of potential suitors for the highly-rated young Dutch stopper.
We’re led to believe that there were a dozen [...]
