Feeling pretty low right now, but trying to take comfort from the fact we gave the likely Champions a helluva good game and could easily have taken a point from it.
We weren’t quite ‘at it’ today and I have a...
Cissensational Newcastle United to storming through the Champions League
We were simply the better team today. There was a confidence and swagger about the lads that we haven’t really seen to date, and in spells during the 1st half in particular we played some lovely passing football and looked a really good side.
We’re...
Newcastle satisfying and a thoroughly deserved win
Liverpool started quicker than we did and created a few half chances with Bellamy getting far too much space and causing some problems for Jonas down our left.
However, I thought we generally controlled the game in midfield, increasingly so as the game progressed, and...
Newcastle being credited with a good defensive display against Arsenal
It’s interesting that we are being credited with a good defensive display last night, even by Wenger, although I personally thought our defending in the 1st half was dreadful with only poor final balls and finishing by Arsenal keeping us level.
Santon was...
Newcastle United vs Sunderland match review
We didn’t really get going in the first half and were generally 2nd best, particularly in midfield. Despite this, I can only recall Krul having to make one save, pushing Bendtner’s curling shot comfortably around the post.
On our part, our passing was dire, delivery from out...
Newcastle creditable victory by dint of hard work and togetherness
A tough game, and one we were perhaps fortunate to take 3 points from. However, the bottom line is we wanted it more than Villa, and ground out another creditable victory by dint of hard work and togetherness.
We’ve had better football teams over the years,...
FA Cup 3rd round Newcastle United 2 – 1 Blackburn Rovers
Perhaps unsurprisingly after Wednesday’s exertions, we were rather sluggish and leggy 1st half. We lacked any presence in their PA and several good crosses found no one in the PA and attacking the ball.
Their goal was the end result of some sloppy...
Newcastle United vs Wigan Athletic match review
In the 1st half Wigan stopped us playing through central midfield with Cabaye and Tiote constantly outnumbered. This is not the first time we’ve experienced this problem and it certainly won’t be the last because teams now realise how key Cabaye & Tiote are to our game.
Newcastle keep the top four spot after a convincing win against Blackburn
You got a real sense at St. James’ Park that something good may finally be happening for NUFC. This finally is Alan Pardew’s team, and it is improving all the time. It was a good win against a desperately poor Blackburn side, with some good individual performances.
A helluva big “IF” for the Toon
My frustration is that this perhaps the 3rd time under Ashley that we have been close to getting it right (that’s term is interpretive, I realise) but failed to nail it at the end of the day.

Newcastle still lacks of depth in key areas
In my honest opinion, we need more than a left back and striker. We now don’t have a single Premier League class full back – Simpson, Ryan Taylor are at best squad players, and Perch is worse than useless.
