After much speculation about who will be Newcastle United's next manager, Alan Shearer has finally
been appointed ... ... as Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland. His job will be to stand in for
the Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland - currently the Duchess of Northumberland - when she's away
slaying insurgents elsewhere.
Saturday afternoon was traditionally an escape for most male football fans. A chance to meet up
with the lads, have a few drinks, and let off steam by vociferously informing the manager or
referee exactly how to do his job. This was male territory away from wives and girlfriends, a
chance to have a good [.
Kevin Keegan is to be awarded costs after winning the tribunal for constructive dismissal against
Newcastle United. The full disclosure is as follows: 1. Introduction In paragraph 54 of our Award
dated 1 October 2009, we identified a number of consequential issues the determination of which we
postponed in order that the parties could provide us with written [.
With an average attendance of 48,750 last season, Newcastle United are the 18th best supported team
in Europe. In England only Manchester United, who top the whole league, and Arsenal manage to beat
Newcastle's average attendance, although Celtic managed 9th and Rangers managed 16th. Given the

Former Newcastle United star David Ginola has been talking about what it means to pull the black
and white shirt on. "When I signed for Newcastle I didn't know the English mentality, I didn't know

Premier League reforms are in the wind but what will they mean for Newcastle United? The Premier
League has been undertaking a 'strategic review' since November 2008 and plans to have new
proposals in place by December 2010. Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has put forward plans that would
lead to a two-tier Premier League of between [.
In news that will surely have the whole of Tyneside quivering in anticipation, Newcastle United's
Argentine wing wizard, Jonas Gutierrez has given his strongest hint yet that he will wear 'that'
mask next time he scores. According to NUFC Blog's calculations, this event is projected to occur
sometime in the 2011/12 season based on his [.
Joey Barton, Newcastle United's very own Enfant Terrible, was today announced to be literally top
of the league. How come? you may ask. Isn't he still injured? Unfortunately the league in question
has nothing to do with recent form, goals scored or assists made. Somewhat predictably it holds no
honour either.

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 [.
Less a match preview and more of a crowd preview, this article looks at the possibilty of Newcastle
United supporters marking an entry in the Coca-Cola Championship book of records. I am of course
talking about the home attendance record. The visit of "local" rivals Middlesborough gives the toon
a chance of building on what have [.
I think it's safe to say that Newcastle United is always on the mind of supporters, and even a
