His name is Jonas Gutierrez, he is currently 28, and is known for his daring and mazy runs down both flanks. Gutierrez is not entirely unknown to [...]

Newcastle United new boy Yohan Cabaye talks about his first impressions of the club, how hard it was to leave Lille and life in England in general.

Match highlights, with goals from Shola Ameobi (9mins), Fabricio Coloccini (53 mins) and great goal from substitute, Haris Vuckic in stoppage time.

Although the issues with Barton’s and Enrique’s contract renewals have been very public, with Barton not being offered [...]

Fabricio Coloccini gets the captain’s armband at Newcastle United for the 2011/2012 season. I would like to mention at the outset that this post has nothing to do with mandolins, which are musical instruments of the lute family.
