Is boring good?

Posted September 3rd, 2010 by toonsy | 73 Comments

You’ll probably have noticed that there isn’t a lot going on at the moment regarding Newcastle.
Things seem to be ticking along nicely, which is a concern that I will get to later, there is no football to come for over a week, all of our transfer deals have been done and the window is now [...]

Campbell for England?

Posted September 2nd, 2010 by toonsy | 198 Comments

You know that bandwagon that Joey Barton started the other week, the one where he said he was looking to play for England? Well it seems he isn’t the only one with fresh international ambitions.
Sol Campbell has now thrown his hat back into the England ring and has his sights firmly set on an international [...]

Newcastle name their squad of ‘no more than 25′.

Newcastle officially named their squad of ‘no more than 25 players’ yesterday, and to be honest there are no real surprises contained within it.
Firstly, let me apologise for the relative lateness of this. Most of you know that I try to be on the on the ball as much as I can with things like [...]

Things are looking up at the moment.

Does anyone else have the feeling I am experiencing at the moment? Pack the jokes away, I mean the feeling of, dare I say it, happiness?
At this precise moment in time I don’t think things could be going much better for a Newcastle fan. It’s all relative of course, and we could be in the [...]

How do you rate this transfer window?

Posted August 31st, 2010 by toonsy | 263 Comments

Well that is it for the summer transfer window, and all in all I have been pleasantly surprised with the business that Newcastle have conducted.
Newcastle have swelled their ranks with five senior players over the summer, and one of those in particular has been rather eye catching.
Hatem Ben Arfa is the signing which most fans [...]

Ben Arfa in action – Check him out!

Now that we officially have Hatem Ben Arfa at Newcastle I will allow myself to get a bit carried away, just a bit mind. Here are two videos of our new lad in action, and the boy certainly looks to have some skills.

Campbell close to match fitness.

Sol Campbell could be in line to make his Newcastle debut against Blackpool in just under two weeks time.
The Sunderland Echo suggests that Campbell is in line to make an appearance in the reserve derby match that is due to take place at the Stadium of Light tomorrow evening.
If Campbell continues to prove his fitness [...]

Well done Joey Barton!

Yesterday I praised Chris Hughton, then the club, but now it is the turn for Joey Barton to have his portion of praise.
Is Joey finally growing up? Perhaps it is too early to answer that definitively, but I have to say that if he carries on the way he is doing then it would certainly [...]

This transfer window is shaping up quite nicely.

The transfer window is nearly at an end, and I think it is safe to say that it has probably gone better than most Newcastle fans had expected.
It could get better still should Newcastle pull off a rumoured deal for Robbie Keane, although at the moment that is all that particular deal is [...]
