Arsenal match review
By: j |I’m never one to sugar-coat things or for that matter write a blog that seems more like a paid advertisement by the club. Therefore without wasting space on a review of a so-called match with Arsensal, let me just say Newcastle was completely out-played and out-classed in every aspect, on the way to a 3-0 [...]

deal to send James Milner to Aston Villa is done
By: j |I’ve been very tough on the financial structure of the club in the past and of-recent have wondered if the deck of cards is ready to drop or had somehow been privately shored up. Things were starting to look too good to be true and back-room questions of whether the club had raised were being [...]
James Milner wants out
By: j |With Aston Villa apparently tabling £9m an offer for the twenty-two year old England U21, James Milner has emphatically stated he wants out of Newcastle and fast.
Per a club statement:
“We have yet to receive an offer for James that matches our valuation.”
“However, should such an offer be received then the club will be reluctantly [...]
review of Carling Cup match v Coventry City
By: j |The Magpie’s crept out of Ricoh Arena with a 3-2 victory in extra-time over an inspired Coventry City. The home squad played brilliantly and if it wasn’t for a highly questionable goal by Michael Owen, this match could have easily went to penalties.
Newcastle took the lead off a own goal at the twenty-first minute [...]
Carling Cup match v Coventry City
By: j |Kevin Keegan leads Newcastle into Coventry City of the Championship League for a second round Carling Cup match today.
The Magpies will be likely be without Oba Martins and Damien Duff who have minor injuries and are best served to sit and recover for this weekends match. Unfortunately and I truly mean that, Coventry’s brilliant [...]
Bolton match review
By: j |As I scramble for adjectives to describe Newcastle’s 1-0 victory over Bolton, one very obvious comment needs to be made in that Kevan Keegan is tactically using his players to the best of their abilities. That might appear to be a odd comment but amongst the upper level of the sport many managers force-feed a [...]
week 2 preview Bolton
By: j |In continuation of part 1 of our review the big news out of St James’ Park is the inclusion of Michael Owen. While he will be on the bench to start the match a late cameo isn’t out of the question.
Newcastle rarely disappoints an opening day at home and new-signings Fabricio Coloccini, Jonás [...]
week 2 opponent review Bolton
By: j |After last weeks brilliant start of the campaign, the Magpies return home to St James` Park to face Bolton who defeated the newly-promoted Stoke City 3-1.
Bolton’s Gary Megson has done a bit of an overhaul with the club in trying to return a bit of the firepower that left when Nicolas Anelka scampered out of [...]
James Milner leads England U21
By: j |I want to make the Toon Army aware that James Milner was handed the arm-band for England in the U-21 match against Slovenia. To add to the great day, with the match level at one and roughly ten minutes left in the first half, James took a pass from from Aaron Lennon and scored from [...]
