Despite another three points on the board, with the loudest cries of the day demanding the owner to
take leave of his current involvement at Newcastle, the latest article in the News of the World
suggests Toon fans might get their wish sooner rather than later. The paper claims that Mike Ashley
is ready to [.
Thought it might be a nice change to stick an article up that we can just use for the game tonight.
Not all of us are lucky enough to be there tonight, particularly some of our fans farther afield.
So this can be the place to come together during the match and p*ss and moan, [...]
If it was possible, given his start to the season, Jose Enrique will have gone up in the popularity
polls amongst Newcastle supporters, after he went on record to say he's not interested in the
alleged interest of Mackem boss and alleged Geordie, Steve Bruce. It's taken a while for some
people to grow to Jose, [.
Following on from several others so far this season, next up to discuss Newcastle's new-found team
spirit and 'togetherness' is Jose Enrique. I'll forgive Jose though because I think he's a genuine
legend in the making and his feet do most of the talking. Enrique has made a great start to the
season, but he's [.
No, not top spot in the league, although that's hopefully looking like a good bet at the moment.
I'm talking about music (finally a relevant musical reference in my headline!). Love 'em or loathe
'em, though the latter I know seems to be more fitting for most on .org, NUST continue their quest
to bring [.
As a portion of the football world still await us tripping up and falling flat on our faces,
Newcastle United continue to do what we've done best so far this season. A clean sheet and three
points in the bag! Tonight's 2-0 victory over Coventry City, meant it was our fourth clean sheet in
a [...]
Our path to FA Cup glory could be thwarted by an old acquaintance, if reports are true that former
Newcastle United coach John Carver is back in football. It's been mentioned on .com that JC is
going to be assistant to Paul Mariner at Plymouth Argyle, who has taken charge after Paul Sturrock
was removed [.
We're top of the league, they're third bottom and have one point from the last six games and have
lost five out of their last six home games. So tomorrow's televised Boxing Day game against Sheff
Wed should be a walkover, right? Aye, not likely, not when you consider the last time Newcastle won
on [.
Controversy, casual defending and a lack of commitment put paid to a full three points at
Hillsborough, and so our Boxing Day jinx continues, as it's now 21 years since we last recorded a
win on our travels. A sluggish-looking Newcastle might as well have been back on the bus as Sheff
Wed took the [.
There's no arguing that Fraser Forster is a 'huge' talent, as he towers a good several inches over
the tallest of his Newcastle defenders. But is he good enough to attract the likes of Arsenal and
Tottenham scouts?There have been several rumours this weekend after a dearth of speculation over
player departures, (well it is [.
We're still on course for some silverware this season after the reserves came through a tough test
against their non-league foes, to reach the semi-finals of thecup. Newcastle Reserves lined up at
home to Newcastle Benfield of the Northern League, in the quarter final stage of their defence of
the Northumberland Senior Cup.
Rumours coming from a number of sources including The Telegraph and The Sun in the last 48 hours,
claim that Sol Campbell may be on the verge of joining Newcastle, now that his contract has
officially been cancelled with Notts County. Now this isn't exactly new, or ground-breaking news as
it's something the majority of [.
! Article Start >If you asked me at half-time if I'd be happy with a repeat of the first half
after the break, we'd have walked away with three points following a 2-0 victory and I would have
been bemoaning the obvious lack of quality in our side once again. As it was, the scoreline [...]
It's already been the season for picking up awards, although of course the most important award
Newcastle fans will be hoping for is the league title. But along the way so far, Newcastle boss
Chris Hughton has won the Championship's manager of the month award for the third time this season,
adding November to his [.
It's "A time for giving, and for getting, a time for forgiving and for forgetting", according to
dear old Sir Cliff. And as Christmas rolls around, Newcastle's Andy Carroll could be hoping that
it's the fans that can forgive and forget, and that he's not getting charged for giving someone a
pasting. Specific details are yet [.
If you thought that Newcastle United's current position was just down to hard work and good
management, you could be right. Or you could be partially right, because there might also be
another reason for it. Dean "Midas" Maynard believes 'positive thinking' from himself and other
fans, is the reason behind us sitting proudly on [.
'When all is said and done, more is said than done' to coin a sporting phrase, and the
cliche-filled environment of football blogs and forums like this can be considered to contain a
whole lot of hot air along the virtual ether. From the people who write the articles, to those
passing comment via them, [.
Following on from the Coventry game thread, I thought it would be a good idea to put up another
article for the Barnsley game, that you can just use for the match banter. This time yours truly
will be in attendance but not all Toon fans are lucky enough to be there, even if there [...]
How very dare they! With their short arms and deep pockets, those tight Yorkshire gets refused to
give us three points and Barnsley 2 Newcastle United 2, was probably as fair a result as we
deserved in the end. Backed by a minibus short of 7,000 fans, it was set up for and Newcastle were
[...]
The rumours have been rife for a good week or so and probably mooted by optimistic supporters long
before, that Newcastle United could be in for Arsenal's highly-related Jack Wilshere. And according
to our local press, he could well be on Chris Hughton's radar. Recently Arsene Wenger spoke to
press and suggested that one option [.
Not surprisingly, Jose "The Bull" Enrique, will collect the Newcastle United Player of the Month
Award for November, when we face Boro on Sunday. And there's hardly been a more derserving winner
in a long while, despite the efforts of some of our more genuine 'heroes' of late. Undeniably one
of our better Spanish imports in [.

! Article Start >Newcastle strolled to yet another Championship victory, at the expense of our
Teeside rivals and in front of a record Championship attendance. And yet as bored as I'm with
repeating myself, this was another game in which we failed to get the blood flowing, on a day when
it was needed most.
Derek Llambias has made a timely statement to suggest that Chris Hughton will be backed in his bid
to bolster Newcastle United's bid for promotion at the first attempt. Llambias has also spoken
about his belief that the fans are coming around to some sort of acceptance of Ashley, due to the
stirling work of [.
We've been linked to him a couple of times over the last 18 months or so, but there's renewed
speculation that Chris Hughton could be interested in bringing Ranger's striker Kris Boyd to
Newcastle. And this time there would appear to be more substance to the story. Ex-Toon player
Darren Jackson, spoke to press last week [.
When I read a similar news link not long ago, my first genuine thought was that we'd resigned him.
But of course I was just being thick. And it seems like Burnley have only now agreed to pay
Newcastle United for Canadian defender David Edgar. According to Sky Sports, The Clarets will pay
Newcastle an [.
I think it's safe to say that Newcastle United is always on the mind of supporters, and even a
special day like tomorrow, will be filled full of 'black and white' anecdotes in many a household.
And of course it's only a short interlude as there'll only be 24 hours until the next episode down

article for the Sheff Wed game, that you can just use for the match banter. Yours truly won't be in
attendance but I've got the option of Sky Sports, with leftover Christmas dinner and a few [...]
The Sunday Sun and several blogs since have been full of the rumour that Real Madrid are after
Fabricio Coloccini. Well technically the paper was full of the rumour and the blogs just reckon
Neil Farrington is full of it. Farrington writes that Madrid are weighing up a bid for Coloccini,
following a cartilage problem [.
! Article Start >According to reports in the Sunday papers, Newcastle's expected move to bring
Danny Simpson in permanently from Man Utd could be scuppered by Geordie (sic) boss Steve Bruce, who
wants him down the road at our less fortunate neighbours Sunderland. The full-back's loan deal runs
out on the 18th January, and from all [.
! Article Start >Marlon Harewood's three-month loan spell expired on Boxing Day and he
reaffirmed his desire to return in the New Year, either on loan or on a permanent basis, to help
Newcastle's push for a swift return to the Premier League. Extending Harewood's loan would be a
safer option but ultimately more costly [.
! Article Start >Well let's hope the lads have worked off the excess turkey they were clearly
suffering from against Sheff Wed, before they meet The Rams at St James Park Monday evening.
Despite our lacklustre performance on Boxing Day, resulting in a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday,
Newcastle United still go into the Derby [.

! Article Start >I was just going to write the word 'garbage' and leave it at that for my
write-up on the Derby game, my feelings shared by many Newcastle fans spilling out of St Jame's
Park after last night's game. However, my choice to indulge in some enjoyable ales on the way back
