Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson is aware that Tottenham Hotspur's terrific form throughout the season indicates their prowess, particularly at White Hart Lane.

Following Monday night's goalless draw at Anfield, third-place Spurs return home and with manager Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion charges, the North London outfit will be completely focused on picking up all three points in Saturday's late kick-off.

There's no doubt that after his performance and goal against Aston Villa in his debut on Sunday afternoon that Papiss Cisse is currently the Toast of the Toon. The new Newcastle hero thanks fans after Sunday's win Newcastle have now won four of their last five league games, and the only real let-down was that second half at Craven Cottage.

Alan Pardew acknowledges that Newcastle United's 5-2 defeat at the hands of Fulham has left him frustrated but defended his players, insisting that they have a lot to be proud of for their overall showing this season.

Clint Dempsey's famous hat-trick and two second-half penalties from Danny Murphy and Bobby Zamora condemned the Magpies to an emphatic loss despite Danny Guthrie's stunning opening goal at Craven Cottage.

Under-pressure Liverpool striker Andy Carroll admits that the return of skipper Steven Gerrard has boosted his hopes of performing more consistently for the Reds.

Carroll, who was signed for over £35 million from Newcastle United last January, has scored only four times in 25 appearances for the Merseyside outfit, leading to continuous criticism from both within and outside the club.

Mirror: What are the odds this is Fergie and Rooney's last season at United? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Losing 3-0 at Newcastle was Manchester United's worst performance since last year and raised three very serious questions. First, will Wayne Rooney still be at Old Trafford next season?

Excuse me while I cough up an organ, momentarily- I've just made the dreadful mistake of going on a post-New Year jog in weather I can only describe as ‘a bit blustery'. If I don't crumple onto the keyboard before the day's out it'll be a minor miracleeeeeeeeertttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhjjj.

It's not been a good few days for Manchester United? Four days after slumping to a home defeat against lowly old Blackburn, United found themselves on the end of a relative 3-0 tonking at the Sports Direct North East Regional Distribution Centre which gave their title aspirations yet another toe-punt in the undercarriage.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew believes that Liverpool is not playing to Andy Carroll's strengths.
The young hitman made a record £35 million move from the Magpies to Merseyside during last season's winter transfer window, but has scored only four league goals since his big-money move to Anfield.

Chelsea score a vital three points away to Newcastle in a match that was, well, fucking insane. I mean, Salomon Kalou played clearly at the suggestion of Devin and even contrived to score the pivotal second. Yes, it was that bizarre of a day.

With Newcastle riding high in the Premier League, the cynic in me suggests that Mike Ashley may have bided his time to announce that St James' Park is to be renamed with 'immediate effect' as an exercise in PR damage limitation but there we go from henceforth, the Toon's ground will be officially listed as the 'Sports Direct Arena'.

Relegation candidates, the toon flying high and another day in the life of an England manager Andre Villas Boas Surely the biggest test of his managerial career to date?

Why I'm predicting a tough test for the Toon at Stoke

Playing Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium is like being body-searched at the toughest airport ­security in the world. It is an experience that requires patience, ­perseverance and a great deal of purpose. On Monday night ­Newcastle United must withstand such a comprehensive and personal ­examination if Alan Pardew's men are to ­continue their fabulous unbeaten start to their Premier League season.

A 120th-minute Gael Givet header saw Blackburn pip Newcastle at the death of the death to nab themselves a spot in the Carling Cup's last eight at Ewood Park last night though, if it's any consolation (it's not), the Toon did score the two best goals of the night in Danny Guthrie's low, 25-yard zinger (2:18 mark) and Yohan Cabaye's picture perfect free-kick (2:29).

Tiote and van der Vaart were convinced that, despite their differences, they could dance their troubles away.League wins at St James Park are as rare for Spurs as days where Harry Redknapp doesn't provide the press with a story-leading quote. If you remove the great Timothee Atouba's fantastic winner from the 1-0 steal back in 2004, our away record against Toon would look fairly terrible.

Why I'm predicting a Kevin Keegan-style high-scoring win for the Toon against Tottenham

Just what is happening at St James' Park these days? Something's gone horribly wrong: Newcastle United's defence has only conceded four goals in seven matches and is the meanest in the Premier League.

Alan Pardew sent out an unchanged lineup against Wolves, and Demba Ba continued his impressive scoring streak as NUFC moved up to third place in the Premier League (albeit temporarily), after defeating Wolves.

Demba Ba was in the right place at the right time as he headed home a corner, and Jonas Gutierrez slotted home a nice finish after dribbling past several Wolves defenders.

As the feel good factor continues around Tyneside, the question I keep asking myself is "Is this too good to be true?" The Toon has had it's best start in years, the feel good factor is back, but just how long can this Indian summer last? I wrote previously about the media's relationship with the [..

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.

After reading what I classed as quite hostile comments from Oliver Holt regarding Stevie Taylor's antics trying to distract Paddy Kenny the thought crossed my mind, why is NUFC always a target for the media, and football fans in general? Are we deserving of the abuse we get? Is the problem created by the Toon [.
