Earlier this year Kevin Keegan said that Newcastle United were “a million miles away” from challenging the top four of the Barclays Premier League. How right he was – hopefully those words are now ringing in Mike Ashley’s ears with a large amount of gusto. Liverpool outplayed and outclassed the Toon in every department today. [...]
No Need for Scrooge As NUFC Gift Wigan Three Points
December 27, 2008 By Leave a Comment
A thoroughly dejected Newcastle United trapsed out of the JJB yesterday having not won a game on Boxing Day for the past seven years. Ryan Taylor continued his uncanny escapade of scoring against us, the opener being the third time in succession. However, it was Lee Cattermole who incurred the wrath of the Toon fans [...]
The Toon vs Spurs

‘Arry Redknapp brings his merry band of cosmopolitan cockney barrow boys to St James’s Park tomorrow to continue the decent run of form (although of late it’s been pretty patchy). Unsurprisingly, there will be no Jonathan Woodgate or Jermaine Jenas as they both prefer to be on the treatment table than actually earn their money. [...]
Toon Leave Pompey All Played Up

Three excellent second-half goals from Newcastle gave them an unexpected win over Portsmouth. Fratton Park is not the easiest place to go, but Newcastle turned up and were determined to give it a go. Goals from birthday boy Michael Owen, Obafemi Martins, and a last minute strike from Danny Guthrie made sure of all three [...]

The Toon go into tomorrow’s game against Pompey not having won at Fratton Park since 1991. Records are there to be broken though and a win on the South Coast would be a fantastic tonic. We’re getting to be quite the draw specialists in the Premier League and in any other situation a draw wouldn’t [...]
Lacklustre Newcastle United Draw Again

An efficient performance by Newcastle United in the first-half saw them going in at half-time looking very comfortable being two goals up with Michael Owen bagging a brace. Stoke City were very poor in the first half and were fortunate to not be more than two goals behind. However, in true Newcastle style, we threw [...]
The Toon vs Stoke

So Stoke City and their rabble rousers bring their long throw-in to St James’s tomorrow. Joe Kinnear looks to field an unchanged side from the one that drew against the Smoggies which means Steven Taylor will again be warming the substitutes bench. If we avoid a loss we go three games unbeaten and if we [...]
