|
|
Wed 19 Nov |
| Dennis Wise says - until Mike Ashley tells him otherwise - he will continue to look for players to bring to Newcastle. Even though Ashley has said he is keeping all transfer money in his arse pocket. |
|
|
Wed 19 Nov |
| Joe Kinnear has three more days to come up with a good excuse why he slagged off Mickey Mouse ... errrrr sorry ... the referee at Fulham. Because the FA are coming down hard on those that show "no respect to referees". |
|
|

Tue 18 Nov |
| I must admit, I really love our day out down the Fulham Road and Chelsea has to be one of the better 'Away Days'. But it all seems to change come 3pm and we get a drubbing. Will it change this year? |
|
|
Tue 18 Nov |
| Joey Barton is out for eight weeks, and with the usual injury candidates making promises of long-term returns (Owen, Smith, Viduka, etc) but none of us are holding our breath ... it again exposed the limitations of a paper thin squad. |
|
|
Tue 18 Nov |
| It seems 'word of mouth' and 'off the record' ... but according to the Chronicle ... Alan Shearer is ready to jump into the Toon hot-seat the moment Mike Ashley hot-foots oooot of Toon! |
|
|

|
|
Tue 18 Nov |
| Damien Duff says Joe Kinnear has brought stability to the club and he wants to see the ex-Womble handed the Newcastle job on a full-time basis. |
|
|
Tue 18 Nov |
| Can someone please explain to me how the hell Joe Kinnear can pick Shola Ameobi ahead of Michael Owen ... then tell Fabio Capello he is WRONG for not including Owen in his England squad? |
|
|
Tue 18 Nov |
| It was a very subdued Joe Kinnear last weekend, not only because he saw his side gift Wigan a point in the dying seconds of the match on Saturday, but because the fans seem to have turned on him. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| Luke Edwards had a remarkable interview with Toon villian Titus Bramble, who returned to SJP to rob Newcastle of two points on Saturday. Titus says Sir Bobby Robson always backed him ... when others didn't. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| Joe Kinnear had a bad weekend. His team selection against Wigan had Michael Owen shuffling his arse on the bench and the fans fuming; and he dropped two points in game he described as "must win". |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| Talking to the Sunday Sun, Alan Shearer (as expected) played down any link to the Newcastle job ... despite bookies slashing his odds to become the next manager. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| Joe Kinnear has taken some stick since Saturday for not playing Michael Owen fronm the start. And Sebastien Bassong says the late substitution changed the game. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| All week we've heard how Diego Maradona is a hero in Chilly Jocko Land because of his "hand of God" against the English, and how he will be seen as the modern day William Wallace up there amongst the tartan, heather and short-bread tins. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| The closest we have come to seeing Mike Ashley ADDRESS the Toon fans was a ridiculous letter handed to the media when he decided to sell the club. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| Joe Kinnear has played down talk of a rift between him and Michael Owen after the striker claimed he has been fit to play for "a couple of weeks". |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| After dropping two points in a game Joe Kinnear described at the weekend as "must win", the last thing he needs is the news that midfielder Joey Barton will be sidelined for up to eight weeks after damaging knee ligaments. |
|
|
Mon 17 Nov |
| We tipped the weekend to be the turning point ofd the season. After all ... why shouldn't we? We had Wigan at home, while WBA faced Chelsea; Stoke had to travel to Man U; Bolton had Liverpool; and the Mackems were at Blackburn. |
