The year 2011 was a good one for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. The Traffic Sports owned team which
originally started out as Miami FC in 2006 rebranded last year as the born again Strikers with a
new logo and uniforms to boot. Traffic pushed more money towards the organization than it ever had
in the [.
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa full match video Highlights and post match interviews with Alan
Pardew, Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse and Alex McLeish. Teams Newcastle United (4-4-2): Tim Krul (G),
Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini (C), Ryan Taylor (Gabriel Obertan 33), Davide
Santon, James Perch, Danny Guthrie, Jonas Gutierrez, Leon Best (Papiss Cisse 14), [.
Venue: St James'Park, NE1 Date: 5th February 2012 Kick Off: 1.30pm Referee: Mark Halsey I never
used to bother much about Aston Villa. They were just one of those "middle of the road" clubs who
chug along season after season with reasonable-sized crowds but nothing particular to shout about.
I got a bit annoyed at [.
The other day I asked some Arseblog readers on Twitter if they had any questions they'd like Lee
Dixon to answer. I gave the questions to the nice people at IAMPLAYR and they put together this
video.
And Lee still says 'Arseblog' like a slightly rude word. Enjoy.
Sadly he didn't get asked my favourite question asked by @Zapp83 "Would he rather be attacked by
12 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck, wearing an Arsenal shirt?
Venue: Ewood Park, Blackburn Date: 1st February 2012 Kick Off: 8.00pm Referee: Phil Dowd. Don't
know about you, but I'm getting sick of the sight of Blackburn Rovers! We've played them three
times already this season and of course they were never off the TV screens during the really
vicious fan protests against their manager [.
A report in yesterday's "People" newspaper contains pictures and an account of Newcastle United's
Tenerife trip last week, as Alan Pardew and his squad prepared for last Saturday's ill fated FA Cup
clash with Brighton. It contains a bawdy tale of late night binge drinking and €20 lap dancers as
Pardew and the players celebrated [.
Venue: Amex Stadium, Brighton Date: 28th January 2012 Kick Off: 5.15pm Referee: Lee Probert It's
the 4th Round of the FA Cup and we're still in it! Added to that some notable teams such as
Manchester City have already left the competition, and the so-called "big boys" keep getting drawn
against each other for a [.
Of all the defensive targets (allegedly) pursued by Newcastle United, Ajax's 24 year old Belgian
defender and captain, Jan Vertonghen, is by far the most interesting proposition. At a potential
cost that will almost certainly be over £10 million along with the abilty to command a Coloccini
sized salary package he shpuld be really However [.
If you had asked any Stevenage supporter a couple of weeks ago who Gary Smith is, the majority
would have replied 'Who?' It would have been a justified reaction because until his name began to
be linked with the vacant managerial position, Gary Smith's reputation within this country was,
well, non-existent.
Speaking after Newcastle United's abject second half capitulation to Fulham in yesterday's game at
Craven Cottage, our Silver Supremo, Alan Pardew, looked for reasons for the collapse. "I can't
really explain what happened to our back four," he said continuing: "It wasn't a case of us not
trying second half, we just lacked mental discipline [.
Ducky's Note: Starting with this post, and hopefully not dying a premature
death, BigFourZa will feature interviews with other football fans from around the world under the
'Fanboyism' section. The topics will range from match previews, reviews, transfer discussions,
referee rants and a lot more.

First of all dear reader, I would like to apologise. I meant to have this posted yesterday evening.
However, due to a certain bearded Newcastle United shirt sponsor, his chronically unreliable
Broadband and constantly engaged customer service (who's existence I am beginning to doubt), that
sadly wasn't possible in the end.
Highlights of the game. As usual I will keep my eyes peeled for longer / better ones and will post
them when they become available. Post match interviews Alan Pardew Mark Hughes
Kid looks to have a pretty impressive mix of technique and athleticism in the highlight package.
Will it translate to MLS?
Once again the tabloid media have attempted to test our credulity, this time with the risible idea
that Liverpool would be willing to dispose of Andy Carroll for a fraction of the £35 million they
paid for him just one year ago, and to Newcastle United of all clubs. Firstly the figure of £20
million [.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard have a difference
of opinion on Glenn Johnson's two footed tackle during their teams League Cup semi final 1st leg at
the Ethihad last night which Liverpool won 1-0.
In an interview with "Talk Sport" radio, their French correspondent, Philippe Auclaair, who claims
to know Demba Ba and his entourage well, tried to clarify comments made by Newcastle United hitman
Demba Ba in a recent interview with French sports radio RNC. In the interview he said he thought
that the player would stay at [.
After strongly suggesting that Newcastle United hitman Demba Ba was available on a release clause
of less than £7 million, Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has now changed his tune
somewhat. The droopy featured North London manager has now admitted that neither he nor anyone else
apart from Newcastle United and Ba himself know what [.
Newcastle United manage Alan Pardew has baffled fans for a lot of the season by not playing Hatem
Ben Arfa, but Pardew has now explained his reasoning and how Benny's work on Saturday may just have
earned him the free attacking role he craves. Until recently, Alan Pardew has seemed reluctant to
start with Hatem [.
Oh dear. On the verge of Demba Ba's departure for the African Cup of Nations, Newcastle United
striker, Demba Ba gave an interview for French sports radio station, RMC. When asked by the station
if he could play for moneybags Paris St Germain, the Carlo Ancelotti managed Manchester City of
France's Ligue Un, our goalscorer [.
Good afternoon Geordies and welcome to our latest match banter feature. This one sees the Magpies
hosting the team who have been recently renamed, from "Blackburn Rovers" to "Troubled Blackburn
Rovers" because of their trials and tribulations in the relegation zone, and also the rather
unfortunate behaviour of some of their fans towards manager Steve [.
The fate of Eric Miller's soccer career hung in the balance at just the tender age of five years
old. The deciding factor of one phone call could have made Minnesota, and the nation as a whole,
miss out on one of the most promising young talents in the sport. "I was supposed to play [...]
Highlights of a glorious game. Goals from Demba Ba (33), Yohan Cabaye (47) and finally, a great own
goal from Manchester United's Phil Jones in the final minute of normal time. As usual, I shall try
to update these with longer / better ones if / when they become available. Hugh's NUFC Blog match
report [.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne Date: 4th January 2012 Kick Off: 8.00PM Referee: Howard
Webb Hair by: Rooney of Croxteth Manchester United make their seasonal pilgrimage to St James' Park
in what could be viewed, for them anyway, as a tough game particularly as they seem to be in
relative disarray.
Highlights of the game: First came an own goal by Agger for Newcastle, which looked more like a
Cabaye goal really. Then however Liverpool struck back with three goals, the first two goals from
ex Newcastle United striker Craig Bellamy, and finally, a goal off the bench from substitute Steven
Gerrard.
Love him or loathe him, there is still a question which has not been answered about Andy Carroll, a
question which continues to split opinion amongst United fans to this day. Ahead of the imminent
game against Liverpool at Anfield, it might be timely to examine this question one more time. The
question when [.
Highlights of the game. As usual, I will update them when some longer ones are available.

Good afternoon Geordies and welcome to our Boxing Day match banter for Newcastle United's away trip
to play the Trotters of Bolton. Firstly, hope you all had a very happy Christmas and that you all
got what you wanted from Santa! Now getting on with the game, you can always check out our regular
match [.
As most of you will no doubt be aware, the Africa Cup of Nations will be taking place next month.
This incredibly awkward competition is held bi-annually, unlike the European Championships which
are held every four years. Also unlike the Euros, it is also usually held right in the middle of
the bloody football season!
Highlights of the game. As usual, I shall endeavour to update these with longer / better ones when
they become available. Post match interviews The Silver Supremo muses on a very disappointing
evening for the Magpies. A tense game for Woy for by the sound of things, but he was well chuffed
when the third [.
Reflections on Saturday's game and a look ahead at what might and might not be happening in the
January transfer window as far as Newcastle United is concerned. How did we not win that game on
Saturday? Swansea have one of the best defences in the league but luck was certainly on their side
too, [...
Highlights of the game. 11 minute highlights of the match. Swansea were defending very deep in the
first half of this game, with Newcastle United keeping the Swans pinned back in and around their
own box for quite a few spells. However as the second half rolled on, Swansea did make something of
a comeback.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Saturday 17th Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Lee
Mason. With the Magpies still lickng their wounds after a 4-2 mauling by some powerful Canaries,
they return to their nest at St James' Park to face another bird attack, this time from the Swans
of Swansea.
I was thinking about this recently if I was sitting down writing my letter to Santa Ashley c/o the
Sports Direct North Pole, what would I want as a Newcastle United fan this Christmas? I suppose the
first thing I'd ask is for Santa not to take any of our best players away and [...]
It would appear from various reports in the media that Newcastle United had hoped to resurrect the
deal to sign Erik Pieters from PSV Eindhoven during the January transfer window. However the Dutch
club are not willing to part with the Holland international according to quotes attributed to their
Sporting Director, Marcel Brand.
Former Manchester United player, Lee Martin, has taken time out to answer a few questions for
RoM on his time at the club and what he's been up to since.
STR: You joined United when you were a kid. How confident were you of making it for the
first team then?
LM: I was never confident I was ever good enough to play in United's first team.
I've always had my doubts about some Chelsea fans, most notably their intellectual ability and
capacity for absorbing and understanding larger chunks of information. I mean, I can only speak as
I find and the one's I've met at various games haven't really come across as the brightest buttons
in the box.
Highlights of our disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Delia Smith's Canaries at Carrow Road.
As usual, I will endeavour to update these when better, longer ones become available. Alan Pardew
went into this game matching his opponents with a two big lads upfront appraoch, forsaking Ben Arfa
for the silky skills of Shola [.
