Unwise words

Perhaps you have to forgive them (it’s been a while since there’s been any scraps of speculation to feed upon, after all) but the media have got themselves into a right lather over the possibility - nay, likelihood - that Alan Shearer is on the verge of becoming our new manager. And all of it extrapolated from an interview Rob Lee’s given to The Mag, the justification being that, as the pair are

Newcastle Utd 2 - 2 Wigan

If you’d told me before 3pm on Saturday that Wigan would come to Tyneside and score twice, and then asked me to name the Latics’ scorers, my reply would have been instant: Ryan Taylor and Titus Bramble.

Curling free-kicks from Taylor’s boot condemned us to defeat on both our last two visits to the JJB Stadium, something Steve Bruce clearly remembered in drafting him

The American businessmen were not going to be our saviour, then who will???

It looks like we will be more longer seeing Mike Ashley running this club without any signs of new potential take over to appears in the short of time. None of any rich sheikh from Dubai or any wealthy American cowboys committed to buy our club.

News from the L.A. Times reporting that Philip Anschutz has no interest in buying Newcastle United or any other English Premier League club.
Phil eventually did and emphatically denied any reports…

Although the player himself has never hinted any signs that he will want to move away from St. James’ Park, but with no certain clear new contract being offered to him up until now, he may have to think quick about his future.

Owen’s present contract will end next summer, and starting from next January, he will be free to negotiate with any club who may be interested to offload him from Newcasle United, according to…



Newcastle United vs Aston Villa match verdict from the terraces

Nov 3rd, 2008 | Source: Magpies Zone | Category: Latest Newcastle blogs

The classic game of two halves. The 1st half was fairly even, with Villa perhaps having the better chances. The Toon seemed rather tentative and nervy, and everything seemed just a little bit off - our passing tacling, marking, anticipation and support for the man in possession.

I actually got the impression of a team that had perhaps spent a little too much time planning for what the opposition might do, and then finding it difficult…



Newcastle United also have “Houdini” in progress

If our former Premierships bottom fellow team has claimed to have a “Harry Houdini” working for them, we can say the same thing today after satisfying result against Aston Villa. To be honest, and wasn’t my usual habit, I was predicting the opposite result before the game.

But today everyone is having their performance back, and hope JFK can keep the growing-up confidence from the Lads for good. Our “Houdini” has done his magic once again, and everyone…



The only way is up

With us not playing until tomorrow night, there was always a chance we’d kick off bottom of the league, though I really didn’t think it would come to that.

But then Wigan won, Stoke won and West Brom picked up a point. And with ‘Arry at the ‘elm at White ‘Art Lane we can no longer rely on Spurs to prop us up, their 2-1 victory over the table-topping Scousers a real sickener. And then to just to
