Liverpool, including a stunning 4 hat-tricks in a single season (1930-1931).
Congratulations to the Blackpool Gazette for this sneaky headline A big round of applause to
whichever internet traffic savvy employee of the Blackpool Gazette managed to plant this Trojan
horse of a headline in several football news aggregation sites!
Sometimes football is far too serious and it needs characters to lighten the mood. Step forward Ian
Holloway; decent footballer, decent manager, brilliant in interviews and punditry. Over the years,
I've enjoyed listening to some great quips from the likes of Cloughie, Strachan amongst others, and
our beloved Sir Bobby was great with his sometimes [.

Chris Hughton continues to work diligently behind the scenes at Newcastle to add some new loan
signings to his very small but talented squad. Colin and Chris lead the training at Benton However,
Chris has warned Newcastle fans not to expect any new signings before Wednesday's game at
Blackpool.
It looks like Andy Carroll will not be available for Wednesday's game at Blackpool. Andy Carroll -
not available for Wednesday And you have to think the outstanding form of 18 year-old England U19
International Nile Ranger, allows Chris to give Andy that extra time to recover from his groin
injury.
When you look at the the game tonight against Blackpool, at least on paper, you could see an easy
win for the Magpies, but it is these games where the lads could come a cropper. There should never
be a time this season when Newcastle go into any game over-confident after what happened last
season. [.
The first defeat of the season is always the most tricky one to deal with. Perhaps that explains
why some feel that the earlier it comes, the better. At the beginning of the 2007-08
season, a determined young Arsenal squad made a typically flying start to
the campaign.
Newcastle manager Chris Hughton makes three changes from the side which was beaten at Blackpool on
Wednesday. Alan Smith, Peter Lovenkrands and Geremi are all included in the starting line-up this
afternoon. Smith returns from suspension to captain the side at the expense of Nicky Butt, as
expected, and Geremi replaces Ryan Taylor while Peter Lovenkrands [.
A little bit of a surprise today as Andy Carroll will not be fit for the vital game at Cardiff on
Sunday. Andy Carroll may be fir for Wednesday at Blackpool Newcastle manager Chris Hughton
explained: "Andy has not quite made it for Cardiff. "But we're very hopeful he'll be OK for
Wednesday at Blackpool.
Tonight could be a culture shock for many Newcastle players as they attempt to get 3 points at
Bloomfield Road. It will be a very special game for Blackpool, as they welcome not only the league
leaders, but a side that was in the European Champions League a short 5 years ago. But Hughton,
as always will [.
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 [.
This game tomorrow is a must-win game for Newcastle, so the club can stay on track, following our
surprise defeat at Blackpool during the week. We just have to keep up with the pace for an
automatic promotion place this season. And with all the focus on building our squad, we've been
very lucky so far with [.
Danny Simpson is on loan at St James's Park from Manchester United and his loan spell ends on
January 1st next year. Danny Simpson Blackpool was only a blip When the new year rolls around,
Danny will have some big decisions to make, and they will not be all his own, since it will depend
on [...]
Bottom of the table Plymouth make the pilgrimage to St James's Park today as the Toon hope to get
back on track after the midweek defeat at Blackpool. Plymouth have a paltry 2 points from their
opening 7 games, picked up via an away draw at Crystal Palace and a home draw against QPR in the
[...]
Chis Hughton has admitted he may need to change things around a bit against Plymouth today after
Newcastle's first defeat of the season at Blackpool. Nile Ranger - could he get start today
alongside Andy Carroll? Chris should be ruthless today in his team selection and put out his
most attacking team.
A cracker of a game at the Britannia as Tony Pulis's side came from two goals down to beat
Championship in form side Blackpool with a 90th minute winner.

Tonight's game will have it's own characters bedecked in the famous black and white, and tangerine
shirts of Newcastle United and Blackpool football clubs. And those players will hope to make an
impression upon their adoring fans. However, previous eras were lucky enough to see two particular
individuals who stood out for their footballing brilliance [.
I've only got the match reports to go on but the general impression I get is that we were both
out-thought and out-fought by Blackpool last night, which has got to be something of a reality
check in terms of our Championship aspirations. Chris Hughton had this to say about the game: "I am
bitterly disappointed, Blackpool [.
