Newcastle United Go Top of the Championship

A Newcastle United Blog | Howay the Toon 02 November @ 10:18 PM EST

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.

When Wycombe Made The FA Cup Semi-Finals

Twohundredpercent 02 November @ 06:06 PM EST

It's the FA Cup First Round this weekend so, in the first of five pieces about the Oldest Cup Competition In The World (and there's a phrase that is probably copyrighted by The FA), we take a look back at Wycombe Wanderers' run to the semi-finals of the competition in 2001.

The FA Cup is a competition that throws up surprise results every season, but some records remain and one that may never be broken is that no-one from the bottom two divisions of the Football League has made The FA Cup final.

REVEALED: How Liverpool WON the title after losing 4 of the first 9 league games

Liverpool Kop 18 October @ 07:51 AM EST
Today's Sunderland defeat is clearly a devastating blow to Liverpool's title chances, after all, no team can win the league after losing 4 of their first 9 league games...right? WRONG. During the 1963-64 season, Bill Shankly's Liverpool team did just that!
I personally don't believe Liverpool can win the title this season, but as history proves, it IS theoretically possible, and it HAS been done before. Click to continue reading...
