! Article Start >Who sang Twilight Cafe in 1981? Ah, hang on, not that sort of 'bits and pieces'. No indeed, just some bits and pieces about Newcastle United from the last few days that haven't managed to get their own article. Much has been said of Hughton's now permanent role as manager for the rest [. Click to continue reading...

We all know about 34 year old David Beckham, a cracking set piece taker and he has a phenomenal range of passing but he was never the quickest or the most skilful of players. Due to his ability to whip in a dangerous ball from anywhere on the pitch he has never had to change his game, but during the first leg of LA Galaxy's play off against Chivas, Becks showed us a few new tricks.

We reported last night how Sol Campbell seemed to making overtures to Newcastle United.

It is interesting to see anyone and everyone walk into Pompey, buy up the club, and walk out two days later. The revolving door has led to Pompey being dead last in the Premiership, player wages being delayed, and transfer fees that have yet to be paid two years later.

February 2nd 2002 was a pretty non-descript day in the History of Football, or indeed the history of anything Prince Willem -Alexander of Orange, heir to the Dutch throne got married, Euro-Monarchy Fans will tell you (and, er... wikipedia) but that aside, Manchester United stayed atop of the Premier League with a 4-1 win against Sunderland, with Newcastle just behind after beating Bolton, and Arsenal dropped seemingly crucial points at home against Southampton, 1-1.

It's gearing up to be a very interesting Sunday afternoon of football, with Liverpool and United meeting before we take a trip east to face West Ham, opponents we haven't exactly thrived against in recent years. In fact, some of the games have become infamous, the 1-0 defeat that saw Wenger and Pardew nearly come to blows, and a 3-2 reverse where Sol Campbell jumped ship at half time.

A few months ago I wrote a blog comparing the fortunes of England's two Magpies – Newcastle and Notts County.
Back then Newcastle were in despair, mourning the loss of their Premier League status. Meanwhile, County were sky high, revelling in their new found wealth.
Their takeover in July, by the mysterious Munto Finance group, promised a bright future and lofty ambitions included Premier League football once more for the oldest league club in the world. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal defender Gael Clichy fears they lack senior leadership.
Clichy admits the Gunners' young team would benefit from having a Sol Campbell-type in the dressing room.
He told the Sunday Times: "I'll talk personally, this is my point of view: it's easier for a player to play his first games when there are people around like Sol Campbell, Lauren, Henry, Patrick Vieira — how it was for me. Click to continue reading...
