It may sound daft, but after all the issues that happened during the summer, I feel more a sense of relief than anything else really. I remember the relegation and the last game of the [...]

NUFC Back in the Premier League

April 6, 2010

On a day which will live long in the memory of Toon fans, we were promoted back to the Premier League without having to kick a ball yesterday, and I must say, it feels great. I remember how I felt when we were relegated and it wasn’t a nice feeling. I also remember how fans [...]

Scunthorpe 2 – Newcastle United 1

October 20, 2009

Dull. Uninspiring. Inept. All words than can sum up tonight’s performance. It’s really gone beyond who scored for / against us anymore. It’s now down to attitude and application. Sadly for Newcastle United fans, both our coaching staff and players are completely incapable of showing either. Marlon Harewood, who was void of any kind of [...]

Mr Charisma Chris Hughton Offered Newcastle Job

October 19, 2009

You see that great big ditch down there? The one big enough to swallow St. James’s Park? That’s how far my heart sank when I heard the news that Chris Hughton was offered the manager’s job on a permanent basis. Firstly, this is a huge backwards step and reeks of the lack of ambition wafting [...]
