Newcastle’s Spanish left back, José Enrique, is apparently currently pondering a question which The Clash posed back in 1982… Should I stay or should I go?The Clash It would appear however, that either his mind has changed significantly over the course of only 22 minutes, or that various media sources are speculating and having fun [...]

Don’t you open that trap door, you’re a fool if you dare, Stay away from that trap door, cos there’s Barnsley down there. Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. No Alarms and No Surprises (get me outta here) With the exception of the brief aftermath of the Boro game, I’ve been thinking the team were [...]

I subscribe to BBC Newcastle’s twitterstream — @bbcnewcastle — in order to be informed about news and events which are local to me and therefore have some interest or relevance. So when I came across this tweet: BBC Sport NUFC News Newcastle v Fulham: Team news ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match. http://tinyurl.com/qeqrsn @bbcnewcastle …I [...]

Well, that was an important victory, wasn’t it? It’s far from over yet, though, as we’re only out of the drop zone on goal difference, and our destiny once again lies in our own hands. However, with only two games of the season left to play, if results go our way at the weekend, we [...]

It was one of our “family outing thingummies”.

It’s therefore easier for me — albeit still not exactly pleasant — to watch the club slide inexorably towards relegation than it is for those [...]

Well, Messiah 1 was a great success at the box office, featuring Kevin Keegan and running from 1992 to 1997. The sequel was a long time in coming, after the production team had come up with such flops as Dour Scottish Manager and Dour, Sour-Faced Argumentative Scottish Manager, but Messiah 2, again featuring Kevin Keegan [...]

No.

I do solemly swear that I will not be renewing my season ticket for next season unless Newcastle stay up, prices are cut (or Newcastle go down and prices are cut by 30% plus) and significant investment is made (e.g. £25-30m net spend) in the transfer market. It’s not about loyalty– I’m not going to [...]

It would appear that Newcastle’s policy in the transfer market is paying dividends. Dividends, that is, to those clubs around us hopeful of avoiding relegation. Our squad was too small, and lacking in quality. We’ve shown ourselves down to the bare bones, in desperate need of a left-back, a right-back, someone with an ounce or [...]
