Right, let's have some ratings for the Blackburn win! It was pretty much good stuff all round with
a decent showing from a team that's starting to gel. Very few black marks, the odd smudge, but
nothing we couldn't surmount. Here goes! Tim Krul 7.5: Tim is fast becoming yet another top Toon
'keeper and [.
Cissé at Metz 2008/9. In all the numerous striker targets Newcastle United were linked with and
failed to "get over the line", one name seemed to be something of an afterthought, though according
to his current club, German Bundeliga side, Freiburg, Newcastle United actually did made a late bid
for Papiss Demba Cissé which [.
After the victory over a very average Fulham team, it is still far from being all rosy in the NUFC
garden. Apart from the obviously self imposed transfer chaos, club policies, missing transfer
revenues and off field dramas filling up the headlines before, during and after the game, some fans
don't seem content with another [.
Davide Santon Cesena v Lazio, March 2011. On the news of former Inter Milan defender, Davide
Santon, to Newcastle United, I have trawled the Interweb for some more extensive videos of our new
player. The ones I have posted above and below are merely a quick taste from 'YouTube'. No less
than 69 more [.
De Tekegraaf in the Netherlands have reported that Newcastle United will only pay a maximum
"ransom" of €5 million (around £4.3 million) for PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands left back, Erik
Pieters, which falls far short of the £6-7 million PSV are looking for. However they also state
that the reason is that moneybags Manchester City [.
Welcome to the third in my small series of ‘blogs looking at Newcastle United's new signings in
the latest transfer window. In this episode, I will be looking at free RC Lens youngster and French
Under 18 international, Mehdi Abeid. Much attention has being focused on the last three Newcastle
United signings, Yohan Cabaye, Demba [.
Welcome to second in my small series of ‘blogs looking at Newcastle United's new signings in the
latest transfer window. In this episode, I will be looking at free Rennes signing and French Under
21 international, Sylvain Marveaux. Like the previous subject in this series, Yohan Cabaye,
Marveaux is another very versatile little Frenchman with [.
Welcome to my small series of 'blogs looking at Newcastle United's new signings in the latest
transfer window. First cab off the rank will be Yohan Cabaye. Cabaye, who's recent signing was
broken on Joey Barton's Twitta, and this 'blog, was signed from Lille OSC for £4.3 million, which
must be something of a bargain [.
So at the time of writing, Newcastle United club captain Kevin Nolan, is on his way to join freshly
relegated West Ham United. Before this news broke, I was in the process of gathering some
statistical analysis for the past season, focusing on our top 5 performers in the Premier League.
What I found was [.
On the pitch, what needs fixing? Most would point out the glaring lack of fire-power within the
ranks, for the 'number 9′ Shirt is lies dormant at St James' Park. This of course has been true
since January, when a certain someone departed to join Kenny Dalglish's revolution, and our
inability to act for a [.
Right, there has been many an argument / heated debate between Toon followers about the perceived
merits of our 2 top 'keepers. Some say that current number one choice, Steve Harper, lacks ambition
for staying with the club so long as perennial back up to Shay Given, while others praise his
loyalty. There were plenty [.
As most of you are no doubt aware, midfielder, Dan Gosling, was signed by prevous manager, Chris
Hughton on a free when his contract lapsed at Everton. This was despite him carrying a fairly
serious anterior cruciate injury, which he picked up after been flattened by Wolves goalkeeper,
Marcus Hahnemann, in an Everton game with [.
