It's hard to know if there is a better person in football than Newcastle's former manager Chris Hughton. Chris Hughton while at Newcastle And Chris reminded us a lot of Bobby Robson, for the way he handled the press and how everybody around him admired the Londoner, and what a gentleman he was.

Newcastle play their last game of the season at Everton this afternoon, and will be hoping to win the game to finish the season on a high note. This is the best season Newcastle have had in the Premier League since Bobby Robson ran the club back in 2004, and if Newcastle can somehow get [...]

With Alan Pardew winning the Premier League Manager Of The Season award last night he has significantly added to his resume (CV).

The nine and a half foot bronze statue of Bobby Robson was unveiled at St. James' Park at 1:30 pm yesterday morning, just three hours before the game kicked off against Manchester City. A fitting statue to the great manager Bobby Robson And it's a wonderful statue and credit goes to the Newcastle Board for commissioning such a [.

Newcastle are having the success this season that we last saw when the great Bobby Robson was managing the club. John Carver and Alan Pardew And that's one reason it's very fitting to have a bronze statue, over nine foot tall, unveiled of Bobby, before our last home game of the season - against Manchester City on My 6th.

It's hardly surprising that Alan Pardew has come out today and said Mike Ashley, Newcastle's Billionaire owner, wants Newcastle in the Champions League. Mike Ashley wants Newcastle in Champions League That would help Newcastle big time in increasing their revenues, which were around £89M in the last financial year, but that was over £10M less than they were when Bobby Robson was managing the club.

We've been very surprised this season at just how good Alan Pardew's man management skills have been. Alan Pardew - similar skills to the great Bobby Robson Alan Pardew has managed to get the very best out of his squad this season, and existing players like Ryan Taylor, Danny Guthrie, James Perch and Tim Krul, among others, have thrived under Alan's [.

The Alnwick branch of the Newcastle Building Society, has come up with a unique way of supporting the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. You can now open a Sir Bobby Robson Foundation ISA. This is a savings account which will provide an additional cash donation to the charity, for every pound invested by customers.

Alan Pardew has been in great demand over the weekend, after Newcastle suitably dispatched an ordinary looking Stoke side 3-0 at St. James' Park on Saturday, for their 6th win on the trot. Bobby Robson had Newcastle 3rd in 2003 with 69 points And Alan has said that the season has been very enjoyable, mostly because of the [.

‘La Mano de Dios' by 3NIL.

22 June 1986 was a day that will forever be remembered by the football world.

It was the day Diego Armando Maradona broke English hearts at the World Cup in two incredible moments.

When Bobby Robson was sacked in August of 2004, and Graeme Souness was brought in as the new manager, after Freddy Shepherd had failed to persuade first choice Steve Bruce, to leave Birmingham, John Carver lost his Assistant Manager position at Newcastle. John Carver made the right decision on Andy Carroll And basically Newcastle went into a long five year decline, which was only arrested after Newcastle found themselves in the second division in the summer [.

West Brom were the better side when they beat us 3-2 at St. James' Park on Wednesday night, 21st December. The great Bobby Robson has us 3rd with 69 points in 2003 And it was the pace of Shane Long that caused Newcastle loads of trouble, in addition to West Brom's quick breakaways, so hopefully the lads will have learned from [.

We saw the news yesterday and felt a little sick. Bobby Robson the great man himself Vandals defaced a stone portrait of the great Bobby Robson, in the remembrance garden created recently in the memory of the legendary Newcastle United, Ipswich and England manager. Graffiti was all over the portrait and had to be removed and [.

Olivier Bernard was brought to Newcastle during Bobby Robson's reign at the club. Olivier Bernard during his Newcastle career And the Frenchman was a very good left back for Newcastle, before injuries prematurely ended his career at age 27. Olivier is still only 32 and does good work as a patron the Show Racism the Red Card campaign, which we fully support on this web-site, [.

It seems like it's almost a given that Harry Redknapp is on his way out of Tottenham – whether it be immediately or the end of the season – but what really is there for him in the England job?

Looking at the history of the job it's notorious for tainting the careers of what were otherwise top managers.

One of the disadvantages of working a paying job whilst trying to build a readership on your own blog is that sometimes we get blindsided by events that need immediate reporting such as we saw today in London as England manager Fabio Capello resigned his position immediately following a meeting with FA Chairman David Bernstein.

Jonas Gutiérrez has today compared Ben Arfa's goal on Saturday with the famous Maradona goal he scored against England in the quarter finals of the 1986 World Cup when Bobby Robson was the England manager. Jonas Gutierrez talks about Ben Arfa's great goal This is what the Argentine winger told the local Newcastle press today: "Ben Arfa's goal was magnificent.

In game that will be long remembered, Newcastle beat Manchester United by 3-0 for their first win against the Red Devils in 10 years. And make no mistake about it Newcastle deserved all 3 points tonight because they outplayed this mediocre Manchester United side. And it was Bobby Robson who was then manager of Newcastle and if was happening [.

Venue: Carrow Road, Norwich. Date: Saturday 10th Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Martin Atkinson. Pies: D.Smith. The Magpies of Newcastle United will be looking to pick themselves up after a tough trio of fixtures and recent injury woes as they visit the Canaries of Norwich City. Even though this is an away game, some may [.

Not so long a go, Ellis Short offered Steve Bruce a four year contract to help quieten the murmurings in the media of Bruce's strong contention for the England management job. This was despite the fact that Bruce had seemingly only had modest achievements in his twelve year managerial career, with the only tangible success's being two promotions from the championship with Birmingham City (sandwiched between relegation).

Sergio Ramos has just posted a picture of his new ink on Twitter and it's quite...well...let's be kind and say 'distinctive'...

I'm all for being proud of your acheivements, but having your CV needled across your body is a little much. What next?

Alan Shearer and Gary Speed were very good friends, and they became close when they both played for Newcastle United, when the great Bobby Robson was the Magpies' manager. A recent photograph of Gary Speed with wife Louise And we knew the two of them used to vacation together with their families in the summers, and it turns out that Alan met Gary early on Saturday [.

Gary Speed MBE: 1969 2011. With the sad news on Sunday morning of the passing of the ex-Newcastle United midfielder and Wales manager, I thought it would be a nice gesture to post something that would give an opportunity for our readers to reminisce about Speed's career on Tyneside. I wrote the this article [.

Pressure mounting on Villas-Boas at Chelsea - SI.com.

When Chelsea selected ex-Porto manager Andre Villas-Boas to be their new leader last summer, many fans were scratching their heads to figure out who he was, and why he was chosen, but people in the game however, had no reservations about his ability to lead the London club back to it's trophy winning ways, as he had led Porto to a treble winning season in 2011 with Portuguese League, Cup and Europa League triumphs.

John Carver has been talking to the press today, and the inevitable question has come up how does Alan Pardew compare to the great Bobby Robson? Bobby Robson shown with his statue at St. James' Park It's not since the mercurial days when Bobby Robson was the manager of Newcastle, that the Magpies have been so high up in the league table, and all [.

It may not be a coincidence that the last time Newcastle were riding high under the great Bobby Robson, John Carver was also Assistant Manager. Alan Pardew didn't waste much time in appointing John Carver last January When Bobby Robson took over from the hopeless Ruud Gullit in 1999, he was impressed with Carver and made him [.

Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Date: Sat 5th November, 2011. Kick-off: 12.45pm. Referee: Andre Marriner (Linesmen: S Ledger & A Watts). TV: Sky Sports 2 / HD2.

Lille may be a long way from Lourdes but the message from Joe Cole is clear – his visit to France has given him a new lease of life.

Cole had cut a forlorn figure at Liverpool but the loan move to Ligue 1 has seen him reinvigorated. Roaming the field with freedom and dribbling past defenders for fun, it is easy to be reminded of the player once hailed as the saviour of English football.

It's almost ten years since Franck Sauzée left Easter Road, a turbulent 69 days of management bringing a passionate Leith love affair to an end.
Yet he's still revered by the green and white hordes (not all, but a hefty number). Gone but ever more cherished.
Why?
Over the course of Ted Brack's account of the Sauzée era many observers – teammates, his former manager, Hibs legends and ordinary fans – try to get the bottom of what it was in the relationship between the veteran and the faithful that convinced so many supporters that there was indeed only "one Sauzée.

Speaking in a recent interview (here and here) on his "Entertainers" side of the 1990s, ex Newcastle United manager, Kevin Keegan, suggested that his own "Entertainers" side of the 'nineties were the vanguard for current attacking teams such as Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United. Speaking on the eve of a reunion last weekend with [.

Newcastle have not been so high up in the Premier League since the days of Bobby Robson. Last time Newcastle were flying high Bobby Robson was manager And while we don't think Newcastle are a top four team this season, who knows, if the lads keep playing like they did in the last two Premier [...]

Blackburn Rovers have won all of their last five games at St. James' Park. Newcastle's top two coaches oversee the training And in fact it's not since John Carver managed the side on a caretaker basis back in September of 2004, after Bobby Robson had been sacked, that Newcastle last beat Blackburn at home, when the lads [.

Bobby Robson, manager of Ipswich in 1978, said of Millwall fans after fights erupted throughout The Den during an FA Cup match, "They [the police] should have turned the flamethrowers on them." When you consider the history of Millwall supporters, that could be construed as a compliment.

It would exhaust too much time and effort to recount the past of Millwall FC supporters, but in short, they were some of the worst torchbearers of English hooliganism in the 1970′s.
