NUFC 2 - Crystal Palace 0
Utd went 3 points clear at the top with a game in hand over crisis club Palace last night.
A decent atmosphere at St James Park last night - crowd decent enough at 37k+ with again massive chunks of open seats in the ‘very shite seats’ of the East Stand and the prawn sandwich seats and they were treated to a pretty shocking performance in the 1st half with the 20 minute OG by Shaun...

Push For Promotion - Update 25th Jan
Last update on this was 31st Dec and shockingly we have only played 1 game since 18th December - however here is the projected totals for the mags based on current form.
The next few games are crucial - these points would have seen us promoted in the past 7 seasons and champions in 5 of these seasons.
Note only Reading drew 13 games and were champions in 05/06 - so drawing more games will...

Shout Out to Singing Portuguese Mag - 'Tommy'
On a recent trip to Lisbon in Portugal I walked into the Henessey pub on the night of the Plymouth Cup match (‘The Lovelyhands Episode’) and as I took my usual seat at the bar - the barman stated “are you from Newcastle” - spotting my club badge on the polo shirt, “yes unfortuantely” was the reply.
He replied “so is the bloke singing and playing the...

So then, Mike Williamson?
Anyone know anything about this fella?
Other than he signed for Pompey - and hasn’t kicked a ball?
Are we just signing players for cover? Or is one of Colo or Taylor on their way?
Before answering, just remember the last time we made a net spend in a transfer window was…Summer 2007.
Looks like Sunday, Monday, Habib Beye is off to...
It will be very upsetting seeing him working all week for them.
Still, we don’t harbour grudges*. Good luck Habib.
*A propos of nothing - how is Michael Owen getting on these days? The horrible, snivelling, washed-up, horse-loving little shithouse.
Errr...

Big Twat Allardyce cries foul again
So, the ‘top man in his field’ Sam Allardyce’s side blew a two goal lead (and one away goal advantage) to lose 6-4 last night at Villa Park and miss out on a place at Wembley.
May we just say, for the love of the game, what a great outcome that was.
And here, gratuitously, is a picture of Allardyce looking miserable. Great.

Decent player, decent signing, decent bloke.
Decent.

Nobby back on trial?
Rumours suggest Nobby Solano (I f*cking love you, Nobby!) is back training with the club with a view to signing until the end of the season? Desperation? Sensible? Or a bit of both?
