15 May 2012, 5:49 pm
For the first time in a long time Alan Pardew has delivered a team that Newcastle United fans can be pretty proud of. Finishing the season in the top five is a fantastic achievement that few would have predicted back......The day Manchester City celebrated a corner kick
6 May 2012, 6:24 pm
How times change eh? At the risk of sounding more experienced I remember when Manchester City turned up in such a bad state that their fans sarcastically celebrated the award of a corner as if it was a goal. At......From Bob Moncur in Budapest to Tim Krul in Palermo - the Toon are back in Europe
26 April 2012, 8:43 pm
After six years, European football will make a welcome return to Tyneside and the Toon Army will make a welcome return to the continent. We're yet to see if it will be via the Europa League or the Champions League,......How James Perch refused to "chicken" out at St James' Park
20 April 2012, 10:24 am
Should James Perch get a piece of the action against Stoke City it could see the down to earth Mansfield lad come full circle in a black and white shirt. Perch of course netted an own goal in the corresponding......Pardew on brink of managerial marathon with Newcastle United
20 April 2012, 8:39 am
It's an amazing fact but Alan Pardew is on course to be the first Newcastle United manager to complete a Premier League season since Bobby Robson in 2003/04. Graeme Souness, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce, Kevin Keegan, Joe Kinnear, Chris Hughton......
Danny Simpson Wants to Stay at United
20 May 2012, 2:39 pm
The Sunday Mirror carried a story today with quotes from Newcastle United right-back Danny Simpson which suggest that he wants to stay at the club. As we know, Danny has one year left of his current contract but United are looking to agree a new deal now, rather than let him leave as a free [...]...United Fans Love Mike Ashley – Or Do They?
19 May 2012, 7:52 am
The Newcastle Evening Chronicle has apparently started to run a Public Relations campaign on behalf of United owner Mike Ashley. If you believe the Chronicle’s PR machine, the man has been forgiven, is a saint, walks on water and is now the most popular man on Tyneside. Well, not in those words but it seems [...]...Newcastle United 2011 / 2012 Season Review – Part Two – Conclusion.

NUFC Season Review – Part One. Following on from part one of Newcastle United’s 2011 / 2012 season review, we begin at the start of the new year with a home tie against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United.

18 May 2012, 7:00 am
NUFC Season Review – Part Two. The end of the season is finally upon us. A season in which defied all expectations. A season where even the most optimistic of Toon fans would have struggled to predict what would be. Newcastle United gate-crashed the top six, and also knocked on the door of the Premier [...]...Newcastle ‘Player of the Season’ Vote: 2) Midfielders and Forwards
17 May 2012, 7:00 am
Following on from my piece on the contributions of our defenders and utilty players this season, let’s carry on with our assessment of Newcastle’s players with a view to deciding who is our Player of the season. I’ll be moving on the engine room now, and later the forwards. There are undoubtedly a few worthy [...]...
King Kenny deposed
17 May 2012, 12:19 pm
Oh dear. Poor old King Kenny, eh? Turns out John Henry and Fenway Sports Group are republicans. Everyone in the media has professed shock at the sacking - I find it hard to fathom why. Former Toon managerial misery-guts Dalglish stepped into the breach during Liverpool's hour of need last season, steering them away from trouble and then following up that rescue mission with the capture of the...Terriers turn on Smudger
17 May 2012, 12:04 pm
Alan Smith may have scored an injury-time winner as a substitute for MK Dons on Tuesday, but his evening wasn't just soured by the fact that that goal wasn't enough to prevent Huddersfield from reaching the League 1 play-off final. It actually got worse after the final whistle, when a handful of home supporters took the opportunity to attack the former Leeds man on the Galpharm pitch. "Muppets",...Damp squib
16 May 2012, 9:03 pm
Everton 3 - 1 Newcastle Utd Results elsewhere meant that even if we'd won this game 20-0 it wouldn't have changed the fact that we finished fifth in the league. As it was, we didn't win 20-0, but rather were undone by a side resurgent since the January transfer window provided them with a goalscoring threat. Despite a bright start in which HBA came close to opening the scoring, we faded once...Peer review reaps rewards for the Silver Fox
16 May 2012, 12:36 am
Our Champions League challenge may have gone up in smoke on Sunday (Paul's match report to come), but the awards just keep on coming for the Silver Fox. First he was named as the Premier League's manager of the year, and now he's scooped the LMA's annual prize - which is arguably more significant as it's a reflection of the respect and admiration of his peers. Credit to him, too, for modestly...Quotes of the day

Champions League Up For Grabs
23 April 2012, 9:42 am
Transfer of the season? Newcastle United now seem an irresistible force to gain a Champions League spot with the 3-0 drubbing of Stoke over the weekend. All credit to Alan Pardew and his team for shaping the a side which brought about back belief in the club. St James’ Park is once again packed to the [...]...Cisse and Ba Partnership Could Send NUFC Into The Top 4
5 February 2012, 10:40 pm
It will be a debut long remembered but No. 9 Cisse managed to clinch all three points for Newcastle today in a closely fought game against Aston Villa. His 77th minute goal was enough to send Villa packing with a fantastic chest control and sent the ball flying past Given. Ba added another goal to [...]...Renaming St James’ Park is just terrible
10 November 2011, 12:12 pm
We laughed at the adding of Sports Direct @ St James’ Park naming but it was something done to prepare us for the worst bit of advertising that Ashley could thing of. Renaming St James’ Park to Sports Direct Arena is a terrible idea to say the least and Ashley will know full well that [...]...Newcastle United Take Top 3
2 November 2011, 10:40 am
The Monday night match against Stoke solidified our status as a credible team in Premiership. A unbeaten run is was always difficult to maintain in any circumstances but Monday night Away from Home is a different challenge. But in the end, Newcastle looked much stronger with Ba providing an excellent display to bag his second [...]...Newcastle United Still Flying High
20 September 2011, 6:17 pm
Much to the surprise of some, Newcastle United has made its strongest start for five years in the Premiership. As yet, Newcastle remain undefeated although a string of draws won’t keep us in contention for the top 4 placement for long. Leon Best popped in the only goal for us over the weekend saving us [...]...

Six of the Best & Worst – January Transfer Window
7 February 2012, 7:11 pm
Newcastle landed Papiss Cisse during this years transfer window in a £10 million deal from Bundesliga side Freiburg. The most prolific African in German football will form part of a “two Demba’s” strike partnership with this season’s top goalscorer Demba Ba and was issued the fabled number nine shirt. Whether the Senegal international will prove to be a success on Tyneside will only become apparent over time but there are others we know who have [...]...Magpie Baby Steps
20 January 2012, 12:08 pm
Who would have thought Newcastle would be the first to break the bank in the January transfer window! Bienvenue Papiss Cisse and now this team can work and move forward into the latter half of the season. QPR were taken care of by Leon Best in a dull and forgettable match that showcased Best’s ability and lack of fitness as well as Ben Arfa’s headless running and constant losing of possession. This team faces a [...]...Back To Business, Ben Arfa Style
9 January 2012, 9:52 am
Two wonder strikes send the Magpies into the next round of the FA cup and at this moment in time it is hard to imagine that this is not some kind of dream. No bust ups, no extreme controversy, no erratic results, is this really Newcastle United? The team has not only scrapped the image of old but is also playing entertaining football and more importantly winning. First the defending champions and now the team [...]...The Toon Army Marches On
5 January 2012, 12:23 pm
Last night, Newcastle United FC gave what can only be described as a “Total Football” performance against a Manchester United team lacking in any real substance or passion. Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs were torn to shreds by the grit and tenacity of Tiote and Cabaye while Jonas and Taylor suppressed Patrice Evra and Antonio Valencia in their own half. Dimitar Berbatov was totally shut out while Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones showed nothing but [...]...The Devils Enter The Arena
3 January 2012, 12:05 pm
Last Friday Steven Gerrard showed the footballing world what he has done and can still do when fit, unfortunately Newcastle United’s defence and midfield were the victims of his talent. With Liverpool behind us and new injuries to address, Alan Pardew must be wondering if January might be a good time to add some experience to a team that will face Manchester United with either Sammy Ameobi or Shane Ferguson in the starting eleven. With less than 20 [...]...

At the end of any other season a game that ended with Everton and Newcastle United players squaring up en masse and Tim Cahill seeing red for grabbing Yohan Cabaye by the throat would have turned Goodison Park into a bear-pit and left the managers at loggerheads. Here the fury dissolved as quickly as it had erupted. This has not been a campaign for lasting recrimination or regret at either club.A top‑four finish remained beyond Newcastle courtesy of results elsewhere and their own inabili...
