Alan Pardew, manager of Newcastle United, has been awarded the EPL's top manager for the 2011-12
season.
Few could have imagined Newcastle would be qualifying for European football after being
relegated to the Championship in 2009. The team quickly returned to the EPL and finished 12th place
in the 2010-11 season.
Today Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew was named Premier League Manager of the Year. I
suspected this might happen in our post from last week, but was chuffed to bits today that the
Premier League have recognized Pardew's work at Newcastle.
Undoubtedly, Pardew has impressed. No-one wanted him at Newcastle, other than Mike Ashley and
Derek Llambias, and he walked into a bit of a no-win situation.

Sad and tragic news broke today about the passing of Gary Speed, who took his own life.
Gary Speed had an illustrious career playing for five different clubs and receiving 85 caps for
Wales.
I'll always remember Gary Speed for his unsung hero's role in Sir Bobby Robson's midfield, his
galvanising displays in the Champions League, and those headers against Kiev and PSV.

a steady succession of suitors to his throne. Most notable and arguably most successful was Chris

Liverpool's 4-3 win against Newcastle United at Anfield in 1996 It remains a seminal game in
English football, full of end-to-end action and utter drama.
At the weekend, the two clubs came together once more, to recreate that classic game all for
the sake of a number of fabulous charities including the NSPCC, CHUF, Alan Shearer Centre, Sir
Bobby Robson Foundation and NE Children's Charity Pathways.

Spooky tennis The Daily Telegraph's celebrity spotting team at Wimbledon have done a cracking job:
they managed to spot deceased football legend Sir Bobby Robson. The ex-England, Barcelona and
Newcastle manager sadly passed away in 2009, and yet was featured in the Telegraph's Wimbledon
2011: celebrity spectators in pictures feature.

With Euro 2012 seemingly drawing ever closer, it is still unclear whether or not the English FA
have begun to consider who they would like to see replace current boss Fabio Capello whose contract
expires at the end of the tournament next Summer. Whoever takes the job will have the task of
getting England to the finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
As I am sure you were not surprised to hear, Kieron Dyer is yet again out of action for the
season. However much it is a shame for a man of his talent to have to end his career on such a
note, the he should just give up. Dyer has not had any kind of form since leaving Newcastle over
four years ago, and even there he was so blighted by injury that his wages (and off field behavior)
were the cause of embarrassment.

About Dutch players vs their English equivalents:
McClaren proved, however, with Twente in the Netherlands that success can be achieved without an
open cheque book. In 2010 he became the first Englishman since Sir Bobby Robson, with Porto in
1996, to win a major European league title.

in football today and has already achieved much in a relatively short space of time."
