Flying high at the top of the table, 10 points clear of a play off place, Newcastle United face Coventry City on Wednesday evening aiming to extend their winning run to 7 games on the trot.
The Sky Blues, currently languishing in 20th position just above the relegation zone, will not be looking forward to facing [...]

And we thought we had problems? The visit of Watford Town to Saint James Park on Saturday will be a welcome distraction for the Hornets, a club rumoured to be on the point of administration as early as Christmas, unless the club can find £5.5M pronto.
The Hornets were forced to go cap in hand to [...]

Joey Barton, Newcastle United’s very own Enfant Terrible, was today announced to be literally top of the league. How come? you may ask. Isn’t he still injured?
Unfortunately the league in question has nothing to do with recent form, goals scored or assists made. Somewhat predictably it holds no honour either.
talkSPORT magazine decided to ask [...]

With 1983 the last time these two teams met in the league, it will be a rare encounter when the Toon and Swansea City meet at St James’s Park. With two naturally defensive minded managers pitting their wits against each other, we can no doubt expect a tight match from the two teams with the [...]

Well the two week international break will eventually draw to a close for us Monday evening when Newcastle United will continue their quest for league domination, hoping for a win during their visit to Deepdale, home of Preston North End.

With two [...]

Newcastle United’s opponents the ‘morra, the ‘Vikings’, or ‘Rovers’ as Doncaster are better known, have had a fairly similar history to Scunthorpe, their closest neighbour. They have yo-yoed through the lower divisions before dropping out of the football league altogether for a time about 10 years ago.
Fair play to them, they bounced back to [...]

‘The Iron’ awaits Newcastle United this evening, and no, not the dreaded domestic variety which partners an ironing board, but The Iron of sunny Scunny fame. Scunthorpe, built on one of the largest iron-ore fields in Europe, is home to one of the country’s major steelworks, and the link with iron provides Scunthorpe United with [...]

The Forest fixture against Newcastle United on Saturday brings to mind a bizarre group of matches between our two teams in 1974.
Following success in the earlier rounds, Newcastle United found themselves at home in the quarter finals of the FA cup in front of a crowd of 54,500 facing second division Nottingham Forest.
Excitement was at [...]
