Venue: Carrow Road, Norwich. Date: Saturday 10th Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Martin Atkinson. Pies: D.Smith. The Magpies of Newcastle United will be looking to pick themselves up after a tough trio of fixtures and recent injury woes as they visit the Canaries of Norwich City.

As someone once said: “Defence is just another way to attack.“ You can just start to imagine (go on, imagine it) how important our stable defence has been for our attacking play this season. Take the two central defenders out of the equation and what happens? Well, we may find out next weekend if Coloccini [...]

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 [...]

Most of us are aware that our beloved Newcastle squad is, how should we say, a little thin on numbers at the moment.

So perhaps this could be the time to see the likes of Slovenian wonderkid, Haris Vuckic, tasting first team action? There will be no better time [...]

It appears our young Hungarian central defender is becoming fed-up with waiting for his chance to show what he can do on Tyneside, and believes his future could lay away from St James’ Park if he is to develop his undoubted potential. At just 20 years old Kadar is one of a handful of bright [...]

I only caught this on Radio Newcastle so whatever follows is partly second-hand but… Amidst some baffling officiating, Newcastle’s ‘Wembley Dream’ was shattered by a strong West Brom team who went two better than their plundering at St James’ last Monday, to take them through to the next round of the FA Cup.
