Newcastle United Blog.

The month of December will mark the half way point in the Premier League season, and will hopefully give us an indication of whether or not we look set for survival or struggle for the rest of the season. Of course nothing will be guaranteed, but it should give us a decent idea of where [...]

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 [...]

First and foremost, you may not recognise the name above this article. I visit the ‘blog every day, I rarely comment but always read with great interest. I thought I’d start by introducing myself. I’m Mark, and I’m good friends with Mr .org himself, Toonsy! I often go to the games with him. Like Toonsy, [...]

Bouncebackability is a funny word, and the origins of it remain fuzzy. Some say that Iain Dowie made it up on the spot whilst covering a match on Soccer Saturday whilst other, perhaps more enlightened, folk claim that is was first used in ‘The Statistician’ back in 1998.

As unexpected things go, todays game has to be pretty much up there with the best of them. Not so much the game itself, as most of us knew that Newcastle would at the very least be up for the fight, but the 6-0 scoreline has to be, surely has to be, the most unexpected [...]

The match at Manchester United last night had some positive and negative points, but one thing that was blatantly obvious is that the squad needs bolstering. No matter which way you look at it, there is a desperate need for new faces to help out the squad. One look at the substitutes bench last night [...]

Well the new season is upon us, and despite the prophecies of doom and predictions of safety there are still 38 games to go, as obvious as it sounds. I had my little moan earlier, something I have tried to refrain from, but that caused me to think about a few things. This season is [...]
