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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Kevin Keegan leads Newcastle into Coventry City of the Championship League for a second round Carling Cup match today.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
