Tweeting on his Twitter page, Newcastle United full back, Danny Simpson, has rubbished the recent media speculation on his negotiations for a new contract. It has been reported that Simpson has turned down the club's latest contract offer, which has been variously reported as £20,000 per week with no bonuses and also £25,000 per week.

Newcastle United have been trying to negotiate new contracts with Danny Simpson and Fabricio Coloccini, so far without any success. We've seen before that the club is prepared to let players go if they demand what the club thinks is 'too much', so what does the future hold for this pair? It seems like the [.

In a move which may or may not be coincidental with the kerfuffle over the club's recent stadium rename, Alan Pardew has told the Sunday Mirror that though Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias have put the club in a much stronger position finacially, it still needs to bring more sponsorship in. He also added that [.

The renaming of Newcastle United's ground continues to rankle people, this time in parliament where a Commons motion has been taken out to object to it. Ashley's plans to rename St James' Park after his T-shirt company have certainly caused a stir, one that stretches as far as House of Commons. 12 MPs have signed [.

Newcastle United's current 6th place Premier League position with 2/3rds of the season gone raises the possibility albeit an outside one of European qualification, but how will we cope if that happens? I think it's fair to say that Newcastle United have exceeded most people's expectations so far this season.

"All this was inspired by the principle which is quite true within itself that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in [.

Just as the last of our African players (Cheick Tiote) was returning from the recent Africa Cup of Nations finals, there was news that Papiss Cissé will have to pack his bags for Africa once more.

However it's a very short-term view of a one match blip, in what has otherwise been a highly successful season so far, [.

After Newcastle United's 5-0 thumping at Tottenham on Saturday, silver supremo Alan Pardew has reflected on his teams defeat and performance at White Hart Lane. Recent quotes attributed to Mr.Pardew happen to mention the use of formation in recent weeks, which is something I am interested in venting my thoughts on.

"Jossys Giants" visit Bobby Charlton and Willie McFaul at St James' Park 1985. Aye Bobby Charlton, not Jackie Charlton who had left the club as manager in the huff over player sales and such before McFaul stepped in and faced the same old problem. After introducing the Jossy's lads to McFaul the ex Northern [.

Venue: White Hart Lane. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre Marriner. For Newcastle United, this was a day to forget started poorly, defended poorly, played poorly" Those words uttered by Sir Alan Shearer just about summed up this game for us. To be fair, Alan equally poured lavish praise on the [.

Venue: White Hart Lane, Tottenham. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre Marriner.
