In his most recent interview, on loan Toon assassin, Marlon Harewood, opened his heart on Aston
Villa, getting back into form, new strike partner Andy Carroll and the spirit in the Newcastle
dressing room under the 'Chuckle Brothers' dream team of Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood.
Harewood, who has been under some pressure to perform [.

strong>Poor attitude, poor touch, just in it for the money. But enough about my career as a
masseur, I'm talking of course about our half-hearted centre forward Marlon Harewood. Currently
loaned to Newcastle by Premiership outfit Aston Villa, judging by performances so far, it would
seem to most fans there were no flies on Martin [.

! Article Start >Chris Hughton has been speaking about Andy Carroll, relegation, and the chances
this has given to Newcastle United's younger and more inexperienced players in the wake of the
great exodus of 2009. Hughton concentrated mostly on Gateshead hitman, Carroll. The 20 year old is
now one of the more 'experienced' of the [.

As voices of discontent gathered at the back of the Milburn stand before the game, they were
equally as vociferous in their support for their team once they got inside the ground. The second
largest attendance of the day (43,067) certainly made their feelings known.
The Newcastle fans had something to shout about other than the owner as Jonas Gutierrez ran from
the halfway, and finished with a shot that went past 'Keeper Joe Lewis.

strong>At one point during this game, I thought my match write-up might be best illustrated by a
big daft grinning smiley. Because at one point, that seemed to sum up the sort of mood around the
ground today among Newcastle fans despite all of the ill-feeling toward the current incumbent. This
also despite the fact [.

in Spennymoor when passing through recently(I mean howay........). And of course we've started the

hasn't stopped Bolton gaffer Gary Megson adding Andy Carroll [.

player review. And not a moment too soon it would seem, to take the focus off Llambias' less than

James' Park, the black and white [.

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I
was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather
fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.
The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard for this victory, which on another day, could so
easily have gone against us.

! Article Start >Once again, Newcastle United managed to leave us feeling slightly underwhelmed,
and yet still went top of the league after taking all three points at Bramall Lane. The fact that
we managed to grind out a 1-0 win against the red and white half of Sheffield was largely down to
luck at [.

season before he'll sell off [.

For such a relatively average game, this one managed to have a little bit of everything. And yet
for the majority of it, Newcastle fans were once again left wondering whether this was going to be
another long, hard season. With inept displays from Harewood, Carroll and in particular Gutierrez
in the first half and [.

There are plenty of things going at St James' Park at the moment. Some of them have an indirect
effect on events on the pitch, and others slightly more direct. One of those which is plainly
obvious to some of us, is the direct effect the exclusion of Nile Ranger is having on Newcastle's
first [...]

Uh-oh! Newcastle left Glanford Park with absolutely nothing tonight as Scunthorpe took all three
points with a 2-1 win, and it would take a brave man to suggest the St James' garden is rosy right
now. Despite having plenty of possession and creating a number of decent chances, Newcastle spurned
several of them and were [.

Well what a miserable bloody night.....stuck in a pub where I could only just about see and hear
the game in the first half and where the locals seem to treat the bar as a place to lounge rather

In a game that appears to bear the hallmark of our 'The Entertainers' period, with breathtaking
attack and heart-attack inducing defending, England U21s nonetheless came out victors with
Newcastle's Andy Carroll playing a starring role in a 6-3 win. The game was played at Coventry's
Ricoh Arena and a reasonable crowd of 20,000+ turned out to [.

You could be excused for forgetting there was a football match going ahead this afternoon. After
the findings of the arbitration yesterday, all the talk has been of last summer and deliberation
over whether everyone is happy with the outcome of 'the affair'. Well I took full advantage of my
dodgy knee and got to [.

If Hughton is thinking about Newcastle United's striking options on Saturday and getting a
headache, I'd implore him to take five minutes out to rest his weary head and then make an informed
decision. To partner Nile Ranger and Marlon Harewood upfront. That's not a reflection of Andy
Carroll's recent form, which has been good and [.

Thanks to a late goal from new loan signing Marlon Harewood, Newcastle United managed to avoid
defeat, and with it, go three points clear at the top of the Championship.
It wasn't all plain sailing though and QPR proved they were no pushovers. They went in front on
the 7th minute after a mistake from Jose Enrique allowed Ben Watson to slide the ball past Steve
Harper.

Newcastle United have a great opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table but QPR will
make for stiff opposition. The three teams below us failed to win last night. West Brom suffered a
surprise defeat by Barnsley, Preston lost at home to Reading and Middlesbrough lost at home to
Leicester.

According to Sky Sports, Hitman Harewood is likely to complete a 3-month loan move to Newcastle by
the end of the week. Phil Sproson, the striker's representative, said: "I believe we are close to
agreeing everything and hopefully the move can be finalised later this week. "Talks are ongoing
between both clubs and I think they are keen [.

Well that's certainly how it felt. I'll cut to the chase on this one because I've got my GNR
preparations and an early night ahead of me. And frankly most of today's game was instantly
forgettable. From Enrique's elaborations, to Joey Barton's wonky radar and then over to a lop-sided
and blunted formation, there was [.

Newcastle United climbed up to second place in the Coca Cola Championship after their 3-1 win
over Plymouth Argyle. Newcastle made hard work of this win though and were very lackluster in the
first-half. Going in 1-0 up at half-time thanks to a Steven Taylor header, Argyle came out for the
second half like a team on a mission.

Just when you thought we'd turned some sort of corner, Blackpool go and 'tango' us. Well
admittedly, I had to rely on the eyes of the commentating duo of Mick Lowes and John Anderson but
the performance sounded as bleak as the conditions and there was nothing pleasurable about the trip
to this beach.

Newcastle can regain the top spot with a point at Blackpool, although we should be expecting 3
points from our visit to Bloomfield Road if we want to match West Brom and Middlesbrough who both
won last night. Blackpool are lingering in the middle of the table having taken 7 points from 6
games. They've only [.

The slant on this is two-fold. I'm talking both about the new found optimism and feel-good factor
surrounding the team on the pitch, and also about our ability to keep that pitch chock-full of
experienced professionals. Clearly our start to the season has given cause for genuine surprise
throughout the football world, none more so than [.

It was rumoured a few weeks back that Harewood was one of Hughton's targets to beef up his
injury-stricken strike force, but the deal was reputed to be off a few days ago amidst doubts about
Harewood's fitness. However it now seems the deal might be back on again. Apparently Hughton has
received reassurances from the [.

Apparently the Sheard-fronted US bid is in trouble. According to The Chronicle, the talks between
the bidders and Seymour Pierce broke down after the US consortium failed to provide proof of funds.
That's not quite the end of things though as Derek Llambias has been teleconferencing with them,
although no progress has been made.

Rumours abound that Andy Carroll may leave the Toon before the transfer window closes tomorrow. As
far as I can tell these rumours emanate from The Mirror, which might be good news if we apply the
oft used yardstick that the red-tops can be taken less seriously than the broadsheets, but they
claim that Carroll is [.

We're somewhat bereft of strikers at the moment with Ameobi definitely out due to a foot injury and
question marks over the fitness of both Carroll and Xisco. The Mirror is reporting that Hughton has
asked Everton if he can have James Vaughan on loan to plug the gaps. Vaughan is Everton's youngest
ever goalscorer but has [.

There are rumours that Newcastle United will make an announcement about the sale of the club on
Monday, although I can't find a direct quote from anyone at the club about this announcement. Other
rumours suggest it may be late next week before we find out anything. Sky Sports claims that talks

Newcastle, unbeaten this season travel down to London to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst
Park. Last week, Neil Warnock, Palace's manager was justifiably infuriated by the goal scored by
young Spears which was disallowed. Let's hope the refs will be equally in our favour tomorrow!
NUFC Team News: Barton won't feature for the Toon, while young Andy Carroll and
Nicky Butt are expected to take some part in the game.

Thanks to last night's win over Sheffield Wednesday we go 3rd in the Championship, behind Cardiff

Newcastle's first game back, and the entire nation were waiting for them to slip up against
promotion favourites West Bromwich Albion. The prelude to the game saw Alan Shearer go on record to
say that he would "dearly love" to be manager of Newcastle United.
Rumours of a bust-up within Newcastle's camp saw Joey Barton (surprise surprise) demoted to the
subs bench.
