| Michael Owen has finally decided he has a Newcastle future, but the rumour from Merseyside suggests he only made up his mind when Liverpool signed striker Fernando Torres. |
|
|
Fri 13 Jul |
| The problem Newcastle have with Albert Luque seems to be never ending. The player isn't happy on Tyneside; he has not played anywhere near his best because of it; nobody else will pay his high wages; and we are stuck with him. |
|
|
Fri 13 Jul |
| A report from Australia suggests Mark Viduka could be in need of a long holiday when he returns from the Far East ... and that must worry Sam Allardyce as he plans for the opening day of the Premiership season. |
|
|
Fri 13 Jul |
| Reports from both St James' Park AND Barcelona suggest a deal for Eidur Gudjohnsen is looking likely, and will be sealed if Oba Martins fails to commit himself the cause at Newcastle. |
|
|
Fri 13 Jul |
| Another one bites the dust as Mike Ashley swings the axe ... but don't get TOO carried away ... it is NOT Freddy Shepherd, but his son. |
|

Thu 12 Jul |
| Most of us in our lifetime have never seen our club taste success like Leeds United fans have experienced. FA Cup, League titles, League Cup ... and we last won a domestic trophy long before I was born! |
|
|
Thu 12 Jul |
| Sunderland boss Roy Keane will be hoping to persuade Michael Chopra to join the Mackems today, much to the anger of many fans over at the Stadium of Light. But is it such a big deal? |

|
|
Thu 12 Jul |
| In the summer of 1996 Sir John Hall found £15m to break the world transfer record when "Alan Shearer came home". After news the current record is about to fall, we ask ... will Newcastle United ever be in that position again? |
|

|
Thu 12 Jul |
| Albert Luque has tied the knot and now he claims he is set to settle down and win back his place in the first team. Although I'm sure 52,000 Geordies won't be taking him at his word. After all, he's had more 'come backs' than Status Quo! |
|
|
Wed 11 Jul |
| The trip to the Austrian "boot camp" for Newcastle's first team was never going to be all "sweat and toil". More a "getting to know you" for the new players and managerial staff. And Big Sam says everyone is "United". |
|
|
Wed 11 Jul |
| We said yesterday that Michael Chopra was heading back to the Premiership with a "mystery club" offering £3m, but Cardiff wouldn't say who. We discounted the Mackems because Chopra is die-hard Toon fan ... but we were wrong. |
