And So The End is Here (Almost!)
The Mike Ashley era is slowly creeping towards its end. For me a very dark chapter in my clubs history but for some all they have ever known!The controversial custodian of Newcastle United first arrived at our club in 2007, and during his time in charge, he has overseen a embarrassing, pitiful hand to mouth existence at our club that includes two relegations. Not good enough. But trying to discuss with supporters of ‘The Ashley Generation’ as they’ve been dubbed on countless

Takeover: Be Patient!
All is good as of today ! Let's look at what we all know in this collective therapy session post. Firstly, contracts have been exchanged and deposits paid. We also know that the paperwork was sent to The Premier League on or around 9th April 2020, and that the legal framework is registered at Companies House. All of this is fact, proof seen and trusted journalists confirming all of this as well. Everybody fine? Let's cast our minds back to Manchester City's take over checks,

The takeover: who has a future at the club?
With Mike Ashley on the brink of selling our club to the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, a lot of players will be playing for their futures if we can get this season resumed but if we can't, some of them will likely have played their final game for us. So let's take a look at our squad and see who's futures could be affected by the takeover. Starting with the goalkeepers, Karl Darlow and Rob Elliot are coming to the end of their contracts and I don't think a new manag

Life without Ashley
As Ashley looks set to finally leave, this post is to look at what as a fan I look forward to most about the potential new owners without having to address the obvious excitement of the reported potential transfer budgets. Transparency Being a fan during the Ashley era has been a struggle not just for the lack of ambition but to also never knowing what’s going on behind closed doors. Now, I don’t think the club should be out telling us publicly their transfer budgets or their

Now isn't the time to be ashamed to be a Newcastle fan......
I've seen loads of posts, tweets, articles, messages about this stuff with Bein sports, Amnesty and alot of people trying to throw the Saudi's past in the faces of us Newcastle fans. Trying to make us feel guilty for being affiliated with Newcastle United because they are on the brink of a potential takeover with the Saudi Prince Mohamed Bin Salmen..... Let me just press pause for a second on this. Making Newcastle fans feel guilty? Are you having a laugh!? I've always been t

A Little Hope Is All We Wanted
Newcastle fans have always been an easy target, and for a club who we are repeatedly told are 'not a big club' (whatever that means) we get more than our share of critique. Finally the dream of new ownership may well soon become a reality, after thirteen painful years, it's time to say to these hypocrites; Where have you been for the last thirteen years? Where was your outrage at Ashley? Where were your tweets, posts and articles then, huh? In the last few days as I've trawle

Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley apologises for keeping the stores open during the coronavirus pandem
Mr Ashley was widely criticised after not following the government advice to close all non-essential stores during three-week lockdown. UK government has closed restaurants, pubs, cafes, gyms and other businesses in fight against coronavirus. The strict rules consist of leaving the house only for essential shopping, medicine and one form of activity daily. Those measurements were introduced on March 23 and will be reviewed after three weeks. In the recent live update, Dominic

What do our next owners need to change?
So takeover speculation has re-appeared but whether it's a PR stunt to divert attention away from Mike Ashley's recent pathetic treatment of people working for his companies or it's actually real, the Telegraph (who've reported on deals being agreed for transfers involving Miguel Almiron, Ayoze Perez, Joelinton and Danny Rose before Sky in the past eighteen months) have reported that paperwork was submitted to the Premier League last Tuesday. Meanwhile, George Caulkin wrote i

Papering Over the Cracks: United's Training Ground Saga
30th November 2013, that's when this carry on started, over six years ago! The proposed new "stunning new state-of-the-art training complex as part of a multi-million pound redevelopment of the Club's existing 35-acre training ground site" was something that surprised and excited supporters into believing the penny had finally dropped, and our owner was finally investing for the future. Then director of football, the ever colourful Joe Kinnear, said: "This is a hugely excitin

Just For Laughs: A Look to 2020
2019 has been a year of ups and downs for Newcastle fans everywhere (no change there), but what can we look forward to in 2020? Here is my tongue in cheek look at what we can expect in the next twelve months: January The New Year starts with a trip to Spotland for the FA Cup tie at Rochdale. In front of the TV cameras, Steve Bruce takes the cup run seriously by fielding a changed side that scrapes a 1-1 draw, thanks to a typical Matty Longstaff wonder strike. For the replay b

Head to Head records: Home v Arsenal
The new Premier League season will be kicking off this weekend and Newcastle, for the third consecutive season, will be at home against a top six side on the opening day. In many ways, it has been a difficult summer for Newcastle fans, one that will be remembered for the wrong reasons. Following the long wait on confirmation regarding Rafa Benitez's future at the club, many fans were livid that the Spaniard decided to part company with Mike Ashley and the club. There were num

My views on boycotting and influences on social media
This article may cause some controversy but it is my opinion and as always, you don't have to agree with me. Fans have been understandably calling for people to boycott the Arsenal game on 11 August. With the game being picked for Sky, this was probably inevitable following Rafa Benitez's departure although if BZG were to complete a takeover, it would surely be cancelled. I will always respect every football fan's decision on whether to go to games or not but in my opinion, i

Rafa Benitez's tenure at Newcastle in review
Following the news that Rafa Benitez is on his way out of Newcastle, I will be reviewing his tenure on Tyneside. This isn't an article I wanted to do now but I will be doing a similar one when Mike Ashley leaves. When Rafa arrived on Tyneside to replace Steve McClaren, the club was on it's knees and sitting 19th despite spending approximately £80m in the two transfer windows. Things didn't start well for the Spaniard though as only one point from his first four games (includi

2018/19 season review
I'm not going to lie, I really should've done more articles over the season but seeing as there's no articles reviewing the season, I may as well do it myself. It was another difficult summer for us with only around £22.5m spent (not including whatever loan fees we paid for Salomon Rondon and Kenedy), by the time the first pre season game came around, the only new face was Ki Sung-yueng on a free transfer from Swansea City whilst Mikel Merino left for Real Sociedad after his

Mike Ashley won't invest........In anything!!
We are now in the business end of the January transfer window, and so far, Newcastle have done next to nothing in regard to transfers. We have had Lazio’s Jordan Lukaku over to Tyneside for a medical, which he subsequently failed. As Lee said on the YouTube channel on Saturday morning, well done to the medical staff for catching it, and pulling the deal. It is obvious to all that we are in need of serious recruitment and improvements in several areas. Yesterdays FA Cup defeat

Can we just skip January?
Sometimes you get the feeling the film 'Groundhog Day' was a precursor to life as a Newcastle fan this time of year. It is of course the annual winter transfer window, or as the hierarchy at the club call it 'January'. It is a time when talk of Mike Ashley finally selling the club intensifies, and we are linked with more loan deals than a payday loan advert. This is the month when pessimism intensifies among the Toon Army faithful. Is there any point in watching the Transfer

Boycott or Not to Boycott: That is the Question?
The life of a Newcastle supporter continues to elate, depress, confuse and anger. This week has been no different. The understandable skepticism from the Geordie faithful has been turned up a notch since Monday night. Speaking to Sky News after his appearance in parliament, owner Mike Ashley was asked about the possible sale of the club. The look from the southern business man was one that remained not expecting questions along those lines, having already outlaid his plans to
