Manchester City overcame Newcastle United in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday but it could have been very different as Man City were helped by an astonishing Dwight Gayle miss just a moment before doubling their lead in the second half. The defeat means that we are still awaiting our first earned trip to the new Wembley having not reached the semi-finals since 2005. Pep Guardiola's side dominated the first half and will feel they should have scored more than their solitary

As we go into our first FA Cup quarter-final game since 2006, I thought I would write about my day when we came from behind to salvage a point late on against Man City back in late November earlier this season. It was the time of year when autumn has nearly made its full transition into winter and there was a distinct cold chill in the air. As always on a day when I have work, I always pack my bag for the day the night before, giving me a few more minutes of slumber before wa

Back to back wins have all but secured Premier League football for another year on Tyneside. The Magpies are now 11 points clear of the relegation zone with eight games remaining and sit just two points below the top half. Considering the Premier League is without Middlesbrough and Sunderland this season, Aston Villa is arguably the club's biggest rivals in the Premier League following their unprovoked taunting of Newcastle fans in 2009 and 2016. However, on a positive note,

FOOTBALL IS BACK! Not quite as we know it but it is back! We begin our restart to the season against Sheffield United at St. James' Park that was going to take place before the FA suspended the football calendar the day before this match was due to take place. Despite being in the bottom half of the table, we currently sit a safe eight points clear of the relegation zone with nine games remaining. But anyway, back to what this article is really all about, analysing our head t

It will be a disaster if Newcastle United allow local lad Matty Longstaff to leave for just £425,000 in a few weeks but England under-20 international Longstaff is weighing up a 5 year €35,000 per week contract offer from Italian club Udinese with his £850 per week contract up in a matter of days on Tyneside. As we stand right now all the signs seem to suggest he is on his way out of Tyneside and the fact he was not in the squad to play Middlesbrough recently further added fu

The one player this season that has caused much debate among the fan base is our 40 million record summer signing, Joelinton. Scoring only 1 goal with 2 assists in a staggering 29 games in the league for Newcastle this season. The debate has very much been one of 2 questions, Is Joelinton a striker? Is Joelinton getting enough service? Both of these questions we've all been back and forth on as supporters. But maybe project restart could prove project catalyst for goal shy Jo

Now this is something me and Paul have spoken about for the longest time and with the 2nd channel we're finally gonna put it into motion. We want you involved. By sending us any type of question.

Steve Bruce, who took over from Rafa Benitez after his contract was run down, has lead Newcastle to the quarter-final of the FA Cup and currently sit 13th in the League, only 5 points away from guaranteed safety. Although he is on course to having a successful first season as Newcastle head coach, he has had a difficult time winning over the fans: His tactics has come under scrutiny and the fact his last Premier League job was Hull City which resulted in relegation, doesn't f

(Moving images are credited to NUFC Comps) Newcastle United teams during the 2010’s became counter-attack specialists. Managers often constructed teams in 4-2-3-1’s or 5 at the back variants which entailed compact defending with plenty of bodies behind the ball philosophies. The role of the ‘deep lying playmaker’ became an essential cog in the machine for these systems to succeed in maintaining a balance. The two standout individuals in this role are Jonjo Shelvey and Yohan C

Allan Saint-Maximin can do no nothing wrong since his £16.5 million move to Newcastle United from Nice, France last summer donning his Gucci headband and with a bold haircut, (jealous much!) He is the player, possibly with the exception of Miguel Almiron, that every Toon supporter chats about – socially distancing of course! On and off the pitch the lad is a certified hit and you can’t teach that. He ticks all the boxes looking like a ray of light in a sea of grey, which has

Geordie DNA ... "A club without DNA or that doesn’t appreciate its history and brings it to the current setup, then it doesn’t have much of a future,” is the philosophy George Ogararu follows, instilled in him during eight years at Ajax as a player and a coach. Ajax is certainly a club that knows its past and for a while it weighed heavily around its neck but by embracing it, they have reached those heights once again thanks to the return of some club legends. Sound familiar?

Warren Barton, arguably one of Newcastle United’s best full-backs and was a mainstay in Kevin Keegan’s 'Entertainers' side. The former England international has spoke to Newcastle Fans TV regarding the takeover rumours flying around. Barton was quick to say how he’d like to see this deal get done: “Hopefully it is days and not weeks, a surreal moment for everybody with what’s going on in the world at the moment but there may be light at the end of the tunnel for Newcastle fan
