Howay The Lads – Reasons To Be Cheerful!

Posted February 15th, 2012 by UTD111 | 97 Comments

It’s probably a demonstration of how far we have come in such a short space of time that some United fans have been decidedly grumpy following the recent setback at Tottenham. That’s understandable. However it’s a very short-term view of a one match blip in what has otherwise been a highly successful season so far. [...]

Thoughts and reflections of our trials and tribulations

Posted September 1st, 2011 by Thump | 37 Comments

I’ve spent much of the morning nursing a hangover after yesterday’s debacle, and trying to organise my thoughts and come to some decision on what on Earth happened in the past few months. Like all of you, I’m racked with disappointment, anger, frustration but most of all betrayal. We pay our hard earned cash for [...]

Marveaux clarifies his ‘first choice’ statement.

After yesterdays comments, Chateau Nouveau Unifie’s new signing Sylvain Marveaux, came out today in hopes of setting straight some things that may very well have been taken out of context, or as a not-so-wise man once said (I won’t name any names because workyticket deserves his privacy) – simply got lost in translation. Yesterday he [...]

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 [...]

Newcastle United in the transfer market

Posted June 15th, 2011 by Thump | 28 Comments

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! Thus came an end to Shepherd’s reign of terror [...]

Mike Ashley – 3 years and counting…

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 [...]

Coloccini misses World Cup chance.

Diego Maradona has finally swung the axe and reduced Argetina’s preliminary World Cup squad down to size, with our very own Fabricio Coloccini missing out on the chance to board the plane to South Africa. In a way it speaks volumes for just how Colo has performed season, as getting called up along with 29 [...]

There has been a train of thought recently regarding Manchester City wide man Shaun Wirght-Phillips and the possibility of a move to Tyneside on a free transfer in the summer. Certain other sites have mentioned that the winger could be snapped up on a free transfer as his contract expires, which is poorly researched and [...]

Xisco faces the exit door at Newcastle as Best gets chance to shine.

Posted May 19th, 2010 by toonsy | 87 Comments

It looks like Xisco will be touted around clubs this summer in an attempt by Newcastle to unload him and his wages onto someone else. The prime candidates to secure the Spaniards signature will be Racing Santander, especially now their controversial La Liga survival has been confirmed. Xisco has been on loan there all season [...]

Posted May 19th, 2010 by toonsy | 78 Comments

With the new season still a distant dot on the horizon Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has today decided to have a pop at Newcastle United. The former boss of our unwashed friends from down the road, and current professional look-a-like for Sesame Street character, Sam The Eagle, has questioned the credentials of Newcastle United for [...]
