In a country well known for it's love of lamb (easy tiger), there's a new Chop on the menu. It's
not of the woolly variety though, it's the history-making Michael Chopra and his scoring boots that
has the city of Cardiff salivating. Chops was breaking down the barriers back in 2006, when he
became the first [.
While fans are divided on their thoughts away from the pitch, it would be hard to argue that you're
not happy with the results on it. The football is hardly of the 'total' variety but in a results
game, we're grinding out the points where it counts and really, for now, that's what matters most.

OK, so I've been waiting a while to get that one out the locker and I hope it was worth it. I
imagine the subtle reference in the headline will be lost on half the readers but if the other half
get it, it'll be worth it. Anyway, did I really just write a blog [...]
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 [.
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 [.
Here's something a little controversial from someone who has had very little positive to say about
Mike Ashley since last summer. What would you say if I was to suggest he may turn out to be, not
the worst thing to have happened to Newcastle United in recent years? OK listen, I haven't lost it
[...]
As there's absolutely naff-all of note in the news to hammer on about, I've spent the last half
hour or so reminiscing about the good old days when I started going to games regularly and looking
through old photos and reading back about that era. Hopefully, you'll forgive my indulgence. They
were more innocent days [.
According to various reports, there could be a chance for us to get our hands on the loan signing
of Wolves' Sam Vokes. We allegedly kept tabs on this kid before he signed a four year deal for Mick
McCarthy (ah bless 'im) and the Wanderers of Wolverhampton. Already a Welsh international at 19,
he's [.
Alreet, so that's a bit of a bold statement but doesn't it feel like it at the minute? Not quite
literally, but I mean we were relatively average today and yet I didn't doubt the outcome swinging
in our favour at any point and it's been a long time since a black and white first [...]
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.
Calling all generous Toon fans! Actually, before I go any further, I'd just like to say that I've
been bowled over by the support I've received so far via my sponsor page. Most of the donations
have come from supporters on blogs such as this and many from non-NUFC fans and to be honest it's
[...]
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 [.
Well I'm a bit gutted that Simon Bird beat me to it but in fairness he's got more time for this
sort of thing and he gets paid for it. However, despite not always agreeing with what he has to
say, he's got this article spot-on in my opinion. I would hate to think that [...]
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 [.
Well maybe we are, and maybe we aren't. But this isn't actually about Newcastle fans, it's partly
about football fans in general and specifically, following their unenviable and ultimately
fruitless journey to the North East, Plymouth Argyle fans. After all, it's the longest trip that
can be made in the English fixture list and it's a [.
Well my thighs took a hell of a beating and I can barely get down the stairs without going
sideways, but I completed all 13.1 miles of the Great North Run and I just can't get enough of it
now. And I can't believe it's taken me until my thirties to get round to doing [...]
The official Aston Villa site has confirmed that Martin O'Neill has agreed the 3-month loan of
Marlon Harewood to Newcastle United. The rumours have been rife for weeks now but the speculation
ends with the forward joining us at a critical point when our threadbare squad is already being
stretched to capacity with a handful [.
Save us from ourselves! That is the plea you hear from various quarters with regard the behaviour
of other Newcastle fans in recent months, notably recently, in response to the anti-Ashley jeering
which was evident throughout the Ipswich game. The view taken by some supporters is 'what will be,
will be' and we should get [.
