My best and worst everything NUFC

Another article inspired by Kyle, I thought I'd talk about my favourite and least favourite things in my time following Newcastle United and I will be keeping it to from my first Toon game in January 2009. Favourite game - 1-0 v Anzhi Makhachkala (14/03/2013) I thought I'd start with my favourite Magpies game and for this one, I'm going to go with the 1-0 win over Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa League in March 2013. With the score 0-0 in Russia a week earlier, it had been a

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

The top players we've been linked to but never signed

With it being at least six weeks until our next game thanks to the coronavirus outbreak, I thought I'd do an article and chose to talk about the top players that we have been linked with but never signed. Wayne Rooney In the summer of 2004, Wayne Rooney was tipped to become England's new hero with way he'd started his career and in August 2004, we submitted a £20,000,000 bid for 18 year old despite the addition of Patrick Kluivert earlier that summer. It was rejected and repo

Head to Head Records: Away v Southampton

Newcastle United go into a difficult game at Southampton on the back of reaching the FA Cup Quarter-Final for the first time since 2006. Southampton's season began poorly and many understandably wrote off the Saints following their 9-0 home defeat to Leicester back in October. However, if Rugby League has taught us anything, it would one simple saying, "never write off the Saints". The team by the south coast have been rewarded for persevering with Ralph Hassenhuttl and will

Head to Head Records: Home v Southampton

One of the longest journeys football fans in England will ever have to make is the journey between Newcastle, the northernmost Premier League side, and Southampton. The distance between the two clubs spans 329 miles. It can be argued that the excessive mileage might have a negative effect on the performance of the players of both sides. On the 98 occasions that the two sides have met in their history, the away team has only won 9% of occasions. Both teams go into Sunday's gam

Graeme Souness' First XI: Where are they now?

Sir Bobby Robson was controversially sacked after failing to win Newcastle's opening four games of the 2004/05 campaign. Many believe that Robson was on ever decreasing thin ice at the end of the previous season after failing to qualify for the Champions League and a 5th placed finish with a UEFA Cup Semi-Final finish fell below Freddie Shepherd's high standards. Graeme Souness promptly left Blackburn to take on the job at Tyneside. The Scotsman got off to an excellent start

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

Does Rafa need to make changes?

I personally can’t remember a worse start for Newcastle in a Premier League season, this start has even eclipsed the start made by Steve McClaren’s high spending squad. Questions really need to be asked as to how this slump can turn itself around, and whether lack of investment is to play, and I am playing devil’s advocate here, considering we on paper had a weaker side last season and finished 10th. The deserved animosity towards owner Mike Ashley in my opinion must be havin

2017/18 season review

The first players to leave us in the summer were Vurnon Anita, Sammy Ameobi, Lubomir Satka and Haris Vuckic, who were all released at the end of their contracts. It took a while to make our first signing as Florian Lejeune finally arrived from Eibar on 4 July whilst Graham Carr left his role as chief scout and Matz Sels joined Anderlecht on loan. Later that week, we were linked with wingers Sheyi Ojo, Jesus Navas, Adama Traore and Jacob Murphy and the latter was signed from N

Newcastle 3-0 Southampton | Match Report

On Saturday 10th of March Newcastle went back to winning ways as they swept aside a very poor Southampton side 3-0 at home. Kenedy scored his first two goals for the club in the first half before Matt Ritche wrapped it all up in the second half with a long range finish into the bottom left corner. Lineup Dwight Gayle OFF, Joselu ON (69') Kenedy OFF, Atsu ON (78') Shelvey OFF, Merino ON (83') Match (First Half) The first 30 minutes of the game proved to be one of the brightest
