Newcastle Utd Turmoil Continues....

0
After getting dumped out of the Carling Cup by Tottenham in midweek, Newcastle got beat 2-1 by Blackburn at St James' Park yesterday afternoon.


It was 'interim' manager Joe Kinnear's first game in charge and the laughable aspect of his first game in charge was that he had to watch it from the stands as he has to serve a two-match touchline ban! Click to continue reading...

Recycling Strikers

1

There is an ugly rumor flying around that Michael Owen is being targeted by Rafa. Apparently, he's into the last year of his contract at Newcastle United and will not sign another, hoping to escape the drama that currently surrounds the Toon.

Alan Curbishley has resigned as manager of Premier League club West Ham United. Hot on the heels of yesterday's King Kev shenanigans at the Toon, Curbishley tendered his resignation on Wednesday and it was accepted by West Ham owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson. The once-tipped England boss has apparently grown disillusioned at the . Click to continue reading...

Hey, Newcastle, leave our Gus alone!

2
Gus Poyet was cut from 20/1 to 6/4 to become the next Newcastle United manager yesterday on the back of the rumours concerning Kevin Keegan having left the club.

The consensus today is that Keegan hasn't gone anywhere yet but it doesn't look like he'll be sticking around for long.

We had this a while back when Gus was linked with Manchester Utd when they lost their assistant Carlos Queiroz to the Portuguese national side. Click to continue reading...

Mike Ashley Loses The Tyneside Fans

3
Kevin Keegan's departure from Newcastle United signals the lowest point for Mike Ashley during his 15 month tenure at the club. Keegan was the Toon's prodigal son, and by leaving the club he has incurred the wrath of the fans against Ashley. The majority of Newcastle fans think that it is Ashley's fault that Keegan has [.

Late but I didn’t want to write about it.

0

Can't deny it for much longer. Two bad losses, one was a missed penalty at the Toon and the other was a 2-1 loss to a lowly Northampton. It looked so positive last week but these losses are making us look like Bolton of last year. I just want Jimmy Bullard and a bolstered midfield. I'm sorry that I haven't been writing but these games rarely come on over here.

Newcastle boss is utterly helpless as his only fit striker is shipped off….

1
The S*n reports that although Alan Smith is on his way to Goodison Park, Toon boss Kevin Keegan is actually pretty desperate for him to stay at St James' Park. Apparently the sale of Smith is the last thing that KK wants, what with his entire strikeforce being crocked, but owner Mike Ashley wants [. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle United are thought to be keen on a loan move for Liverpool's promising full-back, Emiliano Insua.

The Argentine was kept at Anfield for this coming season supposedly under express orders from manager Rafael Benitez, but the Toon are still hopeful of securing his services, if only for a year on loan. Click to continue reading...

Poor quality pitches? Blame Emile Heskey!

0
It's a mud bath Last night I sat down after my big Sunday roast, nursing an injury I picked up that morning while playing for my local town, sipping away a pint of beer while watching the Wigan v Arsenal game on TV. It started badly as Steve Bruce said live on TV 'We are embarrassed about the pitch, it simply is unacceptable! Click to continue reading...

The Fate of Newcastle United

0
From Glittering Cocktails to Fat Jailbirds Now think back to 1996, Asprillia was turning and twisting every defender until they would collapse from dizziness, Shearer was scoring for fun, Ginola looked pretty and Shaka Hislop sounded like some sort of cocktail you'd order on a Friday night.
