Newcastle United player review 09/10 – Goalkeepers.

Posted May 5th, 2010 by toonsy | 119 Comments

Here we go with the first in a series of player reviews for the season just passed. Rather than an individual write up for each player I thought it would give us more to discuss and work through if I reviewed the team by on-field position.
That of course means our player review for the season [...]

Newcastle’s last line of defence – Part Deux

Posted January 5th, 2010 by bowburnmag | 179 Comments

Two months (and a bit) on from the last review, with the transfer window looming, I thought it might be worth having another look at how the players are doing. With off-field sagas taking a backseat for now, the focus is thankfully on the pitch and given our recent blip, does it add significance to [...]

England’s No.1?

According to his column in the Mail on Sunday, Gary Lineker reckons Newcastle’s very own Steve Harper can be the next Steve Bull. Well not quite, but he does believe that Fabio Capello should cast an eye to the Championship doldrums, if he’s worried about his World Cup custodian as he faces a dearth in [...]

Seems like everybody was expecting a tight if tidy affair at St James’ today and with two of the meanest defences in the division, a high-soring game wasn’t on the cards.

Once again, Newcastle United managed to leave us feeling slightly underwhelmed, and yet still went top of the league after taking all three points at Bramall Lane. The fact that we managed to grind out a 1-0 win against the red and white half of Sheffield was largely down to luck at their end, resilience [...]

Newcastle’s last line of defence!

Posted October 26th, 2009 by bowburnmag | 45 Comments

Just how much can you discuss the same thing, day after day? Well to be fair, we’ve given it a good go but rather than rant on about the off-field stuff, I thought it might be time to reflect on the on-field matters at Newcastle United.
We’re almost a third of the way through our [...]

Steve Harper: Newcastle United “dying slow and painful death”.

Posted July 13th, 2009 by workyticket | 24 Comments

Erstwhile Newcastle United goalkeeper, Steve Harper has given an interview on the current predicament currently facing the club. He told The Journal:
“It’s an awful situation which we cannot do anything about as players. The sooner it is resolved the better for everyone because we can start again.”
Harper then added:
“All we keep hearing is [...]
