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 [...]

Most of us are aware that our beloved Newcastle squad is, how should we say, a little thin on numbers at the moment.
Whather or not that gets rectified by signing players is something that we are waiting to see, but for now we find ourselves succeptable to an injury crisis.
We have already lost Danny Simpson, [...]

Today is a day that should send shivers down the spine of a professional footballer, well any footballer in fact.
The Newcastle squad reunite today for pre-season training as they step up their preparation for life back in the big time, and by the end of today those summer indulgences will seem a million miles away, [...]

Danny Simpson has been talking to the local press today, and he seems dead certain that Newcastle can avoid relegation next season, even if we play with the same squad we had last season.

Now the job of promotion has been achieved we can pick start to pick through it and have a look at what we have done right and wrong throughout the season.
The very fact we have won the title would indicate that the right outweighs the wrong through the course of the season, but it’s [...]

No, the 2010 January transfer window proved to be an opportunity when even Mike Ashley realised some financial speculation was the right thing to do, not least because it might see a return on his money. But this [...]

Many Toon fans had a certain amount of unease about the prospect of the January transfer window. Given the previous few windows under Mike Ashley, and a seemingly ruthless intent to slash the wage bill since our relegation, optimism wasn’t exactly flowing!
Add to that a glut of injuries that started to pile up, loan players [...]
