Venue: White Hart Lane, Tottenham. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre
Marriner. It would be tempting to think that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had been distracted
by one or two other things this week whilst preparing his 'Spurs squad for this weeks game, but
that would probably be folly.
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 [.
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 [.
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 [.
Fulham are one of those inconsistent teams that seem to go from one extreme to the other. This
season for example they have crushed Queens Park Rangers 6-0 at Craven Cottage, including a
hat-trick for Andy Johnson, but also lost 0-5 to easy meat like Manchester United (did you see what
I did there?).
Newcastle United entertain QPR on Sunday and will be hoping to make it 3 wins in a row against a
Rangers who could be revitalised following the appointment of Mark Hughes as manager. Venue: St
James' Park. Date: Sun 15th Jan 2011. Kick-Off: 13:30. Referee: Chris Foy. QPR are in a bit of a
pickle [...
Newcastle United will begin life without striker Demba Ba and midfielder Cheick Tiote in the FA Cup
third round clash with Blackburn Rovers. Both are off to represent their countries (Senegal and The
Ivory Coast) in the African Cup Of Nations. But would either of them have been selected anyway even
if they had been [.
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.
Newcastle United bounced back from a poor run with a win away at Bolton on Boxing Day. The question
is: can that recovery continue with our trip to Anfield in what is undoubtedly a much trickier
fixture altogether? Venue: Anfield. Date: Fri 30th January, 2011. Kick-Off: 19:45. Referee: Lee
Probert. Liverpool are just one point [.
Venue: Reebok Stadium, Bolton. Date: Monday 26th Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Peter
Walton. Dear readers, for any of you who were expecting some kind of "normal" match preview for
this Boxing Day away game against Bolton, I am writing this after a fairly messy Christmas Eve
Party followed by two nights of very little [.

which will be yet another battle of the birds. First it was Magpies v Canaries, then Magpies v
Swans, and now the Mags find themselves battling the Throstles of West Bromwich Albion for a juicy
three point worm.
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Saturday 17th Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Lee

Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Saturday 3rd Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 12.45pm. Referee: Mike
Dean. Newcastle United will be looking to maintain their fine home form (undefeated in ten games)
and increase the pressure on Chelsea's beleaguered manager, André Villas-Boas in the 12.45 kick
off at St James Park, Newcastle on Saturday.
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester. Date: Saturday 26 November, 2011 Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Mike
Jones (replaces Phil Dowd). Well, it's almost time for the second of Newcastle United's triumvirate
of clashes against "the big guns" of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea. Like the last
one, we will also face the further disadvantage of playing away [.

Madley. This evenong's game sees Newcastle United facing a struggling Blackburn Rovers side for a
place in the last eight of the League Cup. Alan Pardew has been saying he has no worries of
relegation and that he will definitely be going [.
Many critics have spoken about Newcastle's fantastic start to the season, and merely dismissed our
position due to the teams that we have played. To coin a phrase that is normally reserved for the
top four (well we are now anyway), "They can only beat who is put in front of them". So I thought
[...]
Hello and welcome to my review of what the managers are saying in the run up to today's fixture,

In the wake of Jimbob's thoroughly excellent and extensive Tottenham Hotspur match preview and
tactical musings the other day, I thought As a kind of addendum to that, I would add a piece about
what the manager's were saying on the eve this important game. Bearing in mind the undoubted
quality of the oppostion, this could be [.

was the same fixture last season which has gone down in Premier League history after the two sides
ended up sharing [.
The latest of Newcastle United's pre season friendlies sees the Magpies facing Championship side,
Leeds United, at Elland Road. Of course, like Newcastle, Leeds are a large one club city, and like
Newcastle United, Leeds United are a cautionary tale that even the mighty can fall through
mismanagement in the Boardroom.

Pitch problems needed to be solved ahead of Newcastle United's pre-season game against Orlando this
evening. It seems there are a few problems with the pitch at Orlando. Apparently the Orlando team
usually play on astro-turf (not be confused with Astro Boy) but Pardew wasn't keen on that idea due
to its alleged proclivity for [.
