strong>It's a cold, damp and blustery day over here in Newcastle, so what better way to spend
your evening than to go and watch a reserve game eh? Well that's what the Bowburn branch of
nufcblog.org has decided to do tonight, and I've even roped in my old man to come and keep me
company. Of [...]

strong>Poor attitude, poor touch, just in it for the money. But enough about my career as a
masseur, I'm talking of course about our half-hearted centre forward Marlon Harewood. Currently
loaned to Newcastle by Premiership outfit Aston Villa, judging by performances so far, it would
seem to most fans there were no flies on Martin [.

! Article Start >Well here it is, the third and final chapter of my first term, first team
player review. And not a moment too soon it would seem, to take the focus off Llambias' less than
convincing SSN interview. The No.9 shirt is almost as synonymous with Newcastle United, as St
James' Park, the black and white [.

! Article Start >Alan Oliver is running an article in The People claiming that all the money
from the stadium naming rights will go straight to Chris Hughton to spend on the Newcastle United
squad. Ashley has apparently insisted the naming rights won't go cheap and he's looking for £6m a
season before he'll sell off [.

There's nothing wrong with a manager unleashing a rocket to his players at half time if they are
not getting the job done. Nile Ranger - transformed the game on Saturday These are highly paid
individuals and they are paid for their skill and effort and if they are not producing the goods so
be it [.

For such a relatively average game, this one managed to have a little bit of everything. And yet
for the majority of it, Newcastle fans were once again left wondering whether this was going to be
another long, hard season. With inept displays from Harewood, Carroll and in particular Gutierrez
in the first half and [.

There are plenty of things going at St James' Park at the moment. Some of them have an indirect
effect on events on the pitch, and others slightly more direct. One of those which is plainly
obvious to some of us, is the direct effect the exclusion of Nile Ranger is having on Newcastle's
first [...]

Fabricio Coloccini has been out since our tremendous win at Ipswich Town, and we don't think it's
just a coincidence that the side has done so poorly in his absence. Coloccini - back Saturday hair
and all Quite honestly, after last season we never thought we'd be saying that, but in England's
second division Coloccini has [.

Uh-oh! Newcastle left Glanford Park with absolutely nothing tonight as Scunthorpe took all three
points with a 2-1 win, and it would take a brave man to suggest the St James' garden is rosy right
now. Despite having plenty of possession and creating a number of decent chances, Newcastle spurned
several of them and were [.

Well what a miserable bloody night.....stuck in a pub where I could only just about see and hear
the game in the first half and where the locals seem to treat the bar as a place to lounge rather
than a place to buy a drink. I was already hacked off before the game kicked [...]

Chris Hughton seems to be a big believer in our two young guns Nile Ranger and Andy Carroll. Nile

News today that the Newcastle squad have been fighting against a flu bug in their training
headquarters in Benton. Chris Hughton manouvered past the flu bug phew! But it seems the medical

We had been wondering why Nile Ranger had been missing form the two games the England U19 team
played last week, and now we know he's had a virus. Nile Ranger - struggling with a virus Nile

couple of goals this season, but [.

some trouble in their teens, but [.

As many fans had hoped, Nile Ranger has come through big time this season, and already has 12
appearances for the senior side with 6 starts. Nile Ranger a star in the making? But of course it's

You could be excused for forgetting there was a football match going ahead this afternoon. After
the findings of the arbitration yesterday, all the talk has been of last summer and deliberation
over whether everyone is happy with the outcome of 'the affair'. Well I took full advantage of my
dodgy knee and got to [.

If Hughton is thinking about Newcastle United's striking options on Saturday and getting a
headache, I'd implore him to take five minutes out to rest his weary head and then make an informed
decision. To partner Nile Ranger and Marlon Harewood upfront. That's not a reflection of Andy
Carroll's recent form, which has been good and [.

Chris Hughton will need to decide who start alongside Andy Carroll up front tonight. Marlon
Harewood will he get start tonight? It's probably between 18 year-old Nile Ranger, or new loan
signing 30 year-old Marlon Harewood, who has not played much at all for Aston Villa, and has just
made one start for Villa since [.

The diminutive Newcastle United squad is about to be stretched further by injuries and
international duties. Fabricio Coloccini picked up a groin strain and Ryan Taylor picked up a calf
injury during Saturday's game against Ipswich. Danny Simpson is also sidelined with an ankle injury
from the Plymouth game and is doubtful for this week's games.

Newcastle were beaten by Peterborough and dumped out of the Carling Cup last night. It's probably
for the best given our small squad and the higher importance of the Championship but, despite such
pragmatism, it still stings to lose. I wasn't at the game, didn't see it on TV and didn't listen to
it on the [.

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 [.

Chis Hughton has admitted he may need to change things around a bit against Plymouth today after
Newcastle's first defeat of the season at Blackpool. Nile Ranger - could he get start today
alongside Andy Carroll? Chris should be ruthless today in his team selection  and put out his
most attacking team.

Newcastle can regain the top spot with a point at Blackpool, although we should be expecting 3
points from our visit to Bloomfield Road if we want to match West Brom and Middlesbrough who both
won last night. Blackpool are lingering in the middle of the table having taken 7 points from 6
games. They've only [.
