Newcastle United Survival!

Well to stay in the league we apparently need to reach 40 points but I have had a good look at this and think it could well be lower. One big factor for us is our shocking goal difference! If it comes down to that we are knackered simple as!
We are currently on 28 points […]

Chris Hughton Comes In

So Kevin Keegan has officially announced his new assistant and its Chris Hughton formerly of Spurs. He left when Ramos came in to replace Martin Jol.

For Sale: Geordie Yoyo

Anyone get the sense of deja vu? Well apparently Ashley is selling the club again. This time to some Dubai people then oh no its to some Geordies fronted by Alan Shearer who was previously fronting an Icelandic bid? Papers obviously got bored?

45 Minute Collapse

Well after the full time whistle I was left personally so demoralised and so too probably every other geordie fan - for once again our mob had let us down so miserably.

7 Subs!

Just an extra bit of info that from next August teams will be allowed to name 7 substitutes on a bench. This can only be good news for all teams and youngsters! I think this one is for the benefit of the game.

Terry Henry For Me

As Keegan spoke last night on a 2 hour phone in on BBC Radio Newcastle he spoke of the one player he would love to bring to Newcastle United - Thierry Henry currently at Barcelona. In our dreams but wouldn’t it be fantastic! Sometimes Keegan has the amazing ability to make them true though but […]

Yawn

Well no sooner has the transfer window shut, we scored our first goal under KK and started to show some signs of improving - the press have decided to move onto other s**t stories - but still NUFC.
Their last tripe is coming in the form of lets wind the Geordies up about Charles N’Zogbia desperate […]

50 Years - Respect

I know it is Manchester United but I would like to pay respect for the 50 year anniversary of the death of so many Busby Babes in the 1958 Munich tragedy.
Hopefully Capello and the England lads can put on a good performance and a good win to mark it.
