We've never thought the English FA was the best run organization in the world. Alan Pardew it's
just not fair In fact it's one of the worst, and they again showed their colors yesterday by the

in the sunshine of Tenerife Alan Pardew are now in Tenerife and the sun is shining down on the
Newcastle squad, as they have their mid-season break to do some team building and reflect on what
[...]
We don't think there's anything wrong with Alan Pardew taking the first team squad away on a
sunshine break for a few days in January. Alan Pardew taking a break in Tenerife Alan did that last
January about the same time, when he took the lads to Faro, Portugal, but the weather at that
time was [.

Sports Direct Arena in November. St. James' Park But the name of a ground that has been home of
Newcastle United ever since in was formed 120 years ago in 1892 is hard to change for most fans.

When you think back to Andy Carroll shockingly leaving Newcastle last January 31st -
Newcastle have made some significant progress. Alan Pardew great progress in last last 12 months
Andy hasn't done too well at Liverpool in his first year there, but when he left Newcastle he had
11 league goals and looked to be the new face of the England team.
One of the homework items Papiss Cisse could do while he has a little bit of spare time out there
in Africa, is to check out Alan Shearer's goal-scoring record at Newcastle. Alan Shearer one of
the 206 goals he scored for Newcastle Over a magical 10 year period when he was on Newcastle's
books [.
There have been racial comments made on social networking sites yesterday directed towards
Newcastle United. It seems the slurs were based on the number of black players the Newcastle
club have on its books, and of course we just signed another top Senegal International - Papiss
Cisse yesterday.

the interview he said that French singer Abd al Malik [.

that's his most important win at Newcastle. Alan Pardew waving to the Newcastle fans That was the
game at home against Liverpool on Saturday 11th December, which we won 3-1, after Alan had been
brought in on the Thursday to replace the fired Chris Hughton.
The stories this week that Newcastle may have a cut price deal to get Andy Carroll back to
Newcastle are simply made-up nonsense. Andy Carroll when he singed for Liverpool just less than a
year ago The news is that Liverpool were offering Carroll back to Newcastle for £20M, and then
the story was Newcastle would take him back for £10M.

request of Gary Speed's wife Louise, and will take place this afternoon before the game against

tribute to be paid to Gary Speed before Saturday's game against Swansea City. Gary Speed
tribute before the game on Saturday They will also take inspiration from the memory of a
former great player for Newcastle United, who was much loved in the game.
Alan Pardew has been just a little annoyed at the new Chelsea manager's lack of class
following Newcastle's 3-0 defeat at St. James' Park nine days ago. These two managers don't seem
to agree It's fairly obvious that David Luiz should have been sent off after just four
minutes in the Chelsea game, and that probably cost Newcastle all three points.
It's hardly surprising that Alan Pardew is still a bit peeved that Newcastle were not playing
against a 10 man Chelsea side after only 4 minutes last Saturday. Mike Dean referee made crucial
error last Saturday David Luiz should have been sent of for bringing down Demba Ba when he was
the last man for Chelsea, and that decision by Mike [.
Alan Pardew talked on Thursday to the press about his first year in charge at Newcastle, which
has been very successful. Alan Pardew took over a bit of a crazy club With seven new players

has created a new-look team on Tyneside, and [.
Here is the BBC video of Alan Pardew talking about his first year at Newcastle United, in which
he says it has flashed by. Alan talks about how he will keep his attacking ways and try to win
every game at Newcastle. As we said yesterday, we think it's hard for any manager to have done
any better than what [.
This has been the best start to the season since the mid 1990s when the great Kevin Keegan
was managing the Entertainers. Alan Pardew tough job for the Newcastle manager But after
Saturday's game there are now huge challenges ahead for Newcastle manager Alan Pardew, as
injuries to Steven Taylor and Fab Coloccini have exposed the threadbare Newcastle squad.
There were emotional scenes yesterday all around the Premier League as a minute's applause took
place before the games yesterday to honor the life and career of Gary Speed. Gary Speed --
Legend And while the big tribute will take place at the next home game against Swansea City on 17th
December there were some emotional scenes yesterday at [.
In the next two home games there will two tributes paid to former Newcastle star Gary Speed. Great
recent shot of manager Alan Pardew he has a right to be smiling! In today's game against Chelsea
Newcastle will hold a one minute's applause for the former Newcastle player, who played 284
times at Newcastle with 40 goals from February 1998.
There's no doubt that this has been an emotional week for the Newcastle United club. Gary Speed
honored tomorrow at St. James' Park The terrible and tragic news on Sunday morning that Gary
Speed had been found dead in his home in Cheshire hit the football world hard very hard. But
that was especially true at Newcastle, where he played 284 times with 40 goals [.
When we saw those tweets from Joey Barton earlier in the week, our first question was why he
keeps stirring things up from the past again. Alan Pardew waves to Geordie fans after Man City
game After all Joey no longer plays for Newcastle, and it was well documented that he dislikes
Mike Ashley and Derek LLambias, and that's being kind about how to describe the
relationship.

Wanderers.
It wasn't really surprising when it was announced that Steve Bruce has been sacked by
Sunderland. Steve Bruce with Alan Pardew After watching the Sunderland game over the weekend
against Wigan, Sunderland found a way to lose in the last minute of added time, through comical
mistakes made by their defense.
We didn't think Joey Barton showed much class with his comments yesterday, as he blasted Mike
Ashley and Derek LLambias. Gary Speed committed suicide over the weekend And the unfortunate
thing was that Barton's classless comments were made in a week when the football world and the
Newcastle club are mourning the loss of Gary Speed, who was a real gentleman both on and off
the pitch.
Newcastle United have today given the plans to pay tribute to Gary Speed at Saturday's game against
Chelsea. Gary Speed - a fitting tribute on Saturday Speed was found hanged in his garage on
Sunday by his wife Louise, and his passing has been met by complete shock by the football
world. There will be a tribute paid to the former Newcastle United midfielder before the
kick-off [.
