Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has certainly presided over a good start to this 2011/2012 season, but how – if at all – does this alter our opinion of the man? We’re over a 5th of the way through the season and sitting proudly in 4th position in the Premier League. Somewhere along the line [...]

With talk of Davide Santon to Newcastle seeming ever likely, the obvious question is where will he fit into the squad? The 20 year old started plying his trade on the wing and gradually moved back to his current position as full back, or to be more precise, wing back and despite being right footed, [...]

Danny Simpson once talked Joey Barton into joining Twitter, a place to express your daily life in 140 characters or less and has lived up to his outspoken personality in such a public domain, speaking about his frustrations at Newcastle with the hierarchy and, of course, the wonderful fans. Today after talks of Kevin Nolan [...]

Mike Ashley bought Newcastle United to much fanfare in 2007 via St. James Holdings. Opting against doing the sensible thing and lodging a formal bid, he just went out and bought the stocks, forcing the then hospitalised Freddy Shepherd into advising shareholders to sell, sell, sell!

Is he? Or isn’t he? I have not written for quite a while on this ‘blog, so this post is just a gentle reintroduction from me without much substance, but I feel I can get away with it just this once to ease myself back into things. It gets worse because I’m about to do [...]

It’s been nearly four months since promotion back to the Premier League was guaranteed. The mood was optimistic and getting promoted so early would surely mean we could steal a march on the competition in the transfer market, right? Wrong, or so it seems. Here we are with only 13 days of the transfer window [...]

The new Newcastle kits have been out for a while now, but still the debate rages on as to whether or not people like them or not. Personally I like the white shirt, and I am pleased to see that the badge on it is not like one of those bubble-gum transfer sticker things that [...]

Between the vast swathes of speculation in these last few weeks, I nearly managed to forget that a certain anniversary is about to be upon us. That is an anniversary to mark Mike Ashley having owned Newcastle United for three years! Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun eh? Technically, Ashley completed the sale three [...]
