Okay, about six weeks ago I said that Newcastle Will Stay Up. Probably, and showed how I thought the bottom 6 of the Premiership table would look by the end of the season.
My predictions for the bottom 6 were, I think it’s fair to say, wrong. For a start, Bolton and Newcastle already have more […]

According to my Premiership Predictions (based partly on the assumption we’re not going to win anything away from home), we were going to be in a bit of a relegation battle. However, my calculations using the BBC’s Premiership Predictor, show that we’ll stay up, but it’ll be a close-run thing, and if we hadn’t won […]

aka “Taxi for Allardyce?”
I’ve watched Newcastle play a lot of crap football over the years. In fact, mostly, I’ve watched Newcastle play crap football — badly — over the years, with a couple of exceptions during the Keegan and Robson eras, so why should I expect any better?
Firstly, the fact that the team hasn’t historically […]

I can’t wait to get today’s Newcastle Evening Chronicle.
Last night, the back page headline told us that Wednesday’s Chronicle would feature:

Let’s see: Mike Ashley is a businessman who despite being a billionaire and Britain’s 25th richest man, but despite that he is a reclusive kind of a chap, so much so in fact that when out of the blue he launched a takeover bid for Newcastle United, the media only have a choice of two […]

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to Nobby Solano: a great servant to Newcastle United, with a great attitude on the pitch. For me, he’s the solid dependable sort of senior pro that every club wants. I think he’ll be an asset to West Ham United and I’m sorry to see him leave. […]

Yes, that’s right, the medical marvel that is Kieron Dyer has managed to last a good, ooh… several minutes… of a game before being stretchered off with a suspected broken leg.
What is it with the lad? Is he cursed or something? Seriously, I wish him all the best, hope he recovers well from his latest […]

I’ve been thinking about doing this post for some time, and now that Laura — sorry, Mike — Ashley has got his hands on more than 90% of the club’s shares and Big Sam has signed his fourth player, it seemed about time.
Firstly, I have to admit to a certain disappointment about the Mike Ashley […]

With many, many apologies to whoever wrote “Big John”.
Big SamBig Sam
Every morning at the ground, you could see him arrive.
He palyed 4-3-3, he played 3-2-5.
Kind of broad at the shoulders, broader the hip.
And everybody knew you didn’t give no lip to Big Sam

Nobody seemed to know where Sam called home
