Newcastle United: Champions of the Championship

April 22, 2010

I’ve been waiting a bit to write this post because it hasn’t really sunk in yet that we’re actually champions. 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 [...]

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 [...]

The Calm After the Storm for Newcastle United

May 25, 2009

I’m surprisingly a lot calmer than I thought I would have been. I came to terms with relegation several weeks ago and when the final whistle blew at Villa Park I was in a sombre mood. But, consigning myself to relegation, I was preparing for the worst. It’s not easy to take, and to think [...]

Newcastle United Relegated

May 24, 2009

Manchester United did their bit, Chelsea did their bit, but the Newcastle United players put in a performance devoid of fight, courage and played as if their fate had already been sealed. An effortless, limp, and lethargic performance showed that they do not care about Newcastle United. A Chairman in Mike Ashley who has single [...]

Bassong Loses Red Card Appeal – But Who’s Still Standing?

May 20, 2009

It’s like climbing the proverbial Mount Everest or Mount Kilimanjaro. Newcastle United have to go to Aston Villa on Sunday knowing that they have to get a result – no questions asked. So far, the only confirmed absentees are Sebastien Bassong, Andy Carroll and Joey Barton. Bassong’s absence will open up a spot for either [...]

The Toon v Fulham: It’s Only Three Points

May 15, 2009

But what a three points it would be if we could put one over on the posh cockneys. Fulham aren’t the best travellers so the onus will be on Newcastle to get at ‘em from the first whistle to the last. Jose Enrique is a confirmed absentee and Alan smith will face a late fitness [...]

Newcastle United’s Premier League Destiny is in Their Own Hands

May 9, 2009

Thanks to Stoke City’s 2-1 away win against Hull City today, Newcastle United’s Premier League survival is in their own hands. The Toon don’t have to rely on other results to guarantee safety. A win against Middlesbrough on Monday, would see Newcastle level on points with Hull – with a superior goal difference. All we [...]
