It’s time to stop the anti Ameobi hysteria.

It probably hasn’t escaped your attention that Northumbria bizzies have been investigating what have been described as “sickening” racist comments about Newcastle United forward, Shola Ameobi, on Facebook. This comes after recent similar comments about his younger brother and teammate Sammy Ameobi on Twitter. However unlike the case of Ameobi jnr which just seemed to [...]

Double Trouble for Cursed Cloggies! Blackburn Rovers 0 – Newcastle United 2

Posted February 2nd, 2012 by UTD111 | 54 Comments

This match saw the welcome return of Captain Coloccini, and also the absence of Yohan Cabaye – a victim of trial by television and the London FA earlier in the day. Chris Samba was missing from the Blackburn Rovers line-up following the club’s failure to release him during the January transfer window – clearly fit [...]

Brighton Bombshell! – Brighton 1 Newcastle United 0 (report, highlights, interviews…)

Posted January 29th, 2012 by UTD111 | 10 Comments

Venue: Amex Stadium, Brighton Date: 28th January 2012 Kick Off: 5.15pm Referee: Lee Probert Quite simply, this was a game United should not have lost. Even with the cautious tactics employed by Pardew we were clearly a class above, dominated 75% of the game and had a penalty appeal for a blatant handball turned down. [...]

Venue: Craven Cottage, London. Date: Sat 21st Jan, 2011. Kick-Off: 3:00 pm. Referee: Lee Mason (Lancs). If ever you want to see a textbook example of “a game of two halves”, get the DVD of this game. though personally, it’s a video horror show I’ll be steering clear of. United went into this game sitting [...]

Nothing wrong with a little bump ‘n’ grind at Toon?

Posted January 16th, 2012 by CLiNT FLiCK | 20 Comments

I think it’s fair to say that yesterday’s win against QPR at Saint James’ Park wasn’t the prettiest game to watch, though it was still a very welcome and grinding win. While the Toon faithful may not like seeing such meagre fare, I feel it’s a very satisfying way to collect three very important points [...]

Venue: St James’ Park, Toon. Date: Sun 15th Jan 2011. Kick-Off: 1:30 pm. Referee: Chris Foy. United came to this game on the back of 2 excellent straight wins against Man Utd 3-0 (got that one in early today!) and Blackburn 2-1 in the FA Cup. In contrast, Queens Park Rangers had taken only one [...]

Spidermag returns! Newcastle United 2, Blackburn Rovers 1

Posted January 7th, 2012 by UTD111 | 25 Comments

A tale of absent friends made this cup tie somewhat less of an occasion than it could otherwise have been. We knew that Demba Ba and Cheick Tiote wouldn’t feature in this game, but when Blackburn lined up without Yakubu and Samba – that was a bit of a bonus. Also missing was Paul Clement, [...]

Is Newcastle right to be prioritise strengthening defence over attack?

Posted January 6th, 2012 by Hugh de Payen | 25 Comments

Newcastle United are set lose Demba Ba to the Africa Cup of Nations soon, yet it seems the club is concentrating more on strengthening the team in defence rather than attack. Is this the right decision? Much was rumoured recently about us not being in for a striker this January after the Maiga deal fell [...]

Newcastle United Vs Manchester United: Player ratings!

Posted January 6th, 2012 by CLiNT FLiCK | 32 Comments

Firstly, let me just start by saying Newcastle thoroughly deserved their win and it was a win by United more than a loss by Manchester. They were never allowed to settle on the ball, from the off. Newcastle also took the game to them, showed no fear whatsoever, gave no respect and pressed on with [...]

Toon sweep Manchester United aside in 3-0 victory at St James’ Park

Posted January 4th, 2012 by Hugh de Payen | 24 Comments

A goal from Demba Ba, a free kick from Yohan Cabaye and – to add to Man Utd’s misery – an own goal by Phil Jones sees Newcastle United take all three points at St James’ Park. The match started at a lively pace and it was pretty much box-to-box stuff for the first half. [...]
