Many thanks to “ToonBano” from the Toon blog www.toonbano.com for his fourth guest blog here – wt. As we managed to fall over the line to a 1-0 ‘win’ over QPR its got to be said that was one of the worst games of football I have ever seen in my whole life. Which was [...]

NUFC Season Review – Part One. Following on from part one of Newcastle United’s 2011 / 2012 season review, we begin at the start of the new year with a home tie against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United. January – Man Utd humbled / A Nightmare at the Cottage / The new number nine… A [...]

NUFC Season Review – Part Two. The end of the season is finally upon us. A season in which defied all expectations. A season where even the most optimistic of Toon fans would have struggled to predict what would be. Newcastle United gate-crashed the top six, and also knocked on the door of the Premier [...]

As we have reached the season’s end, I’m going to jump in and do a little assessment of the players, culminating in a vote for your Newcastle United “Player of the season”. There have been quite a few stand out performers and stand out performances this term. Some were almost anticipated, others almost definitely weren’t. [...]

It looked like the wheels had come off the North East bandwagon and they would slip into the mid-table mediocrity [...]

The Dutch press appears to offer further suggestions that FC Twente’s Douglas is bound for Newcastle United this summer, although perhaps the most pertinent question is whether or not we lose any of our current stars this summer too. Further to an article I posted last week about Newcastle’s interest in FC Twente’s Douglas Franco [...]

Bolton rolled into Toon on the back of a bit of a kicking at the hands of the improving Fulham, but with a trio of wins in front of that, it was always going to be a tricky fixture and so it was going to be down to who wanted it more. Patience was the order [...]

Stan Collymore claims Newcastle United defender James Perch should be given a 3-match ban for ‘diving’. Alleged pundit Stan Collymore has had plenty to say about the game against Liverpool on Sunday. First of all he said that Andy Carroll should be banned for his dive in the box and then says Perch should be [...]
