Push for Promotion - Update
The run up to the Easter weekend were still top albeit by a point (with a 2 game advantage on WBA), one of those games is tonight and unless you’ve been off the Geordie planet for the last week or so it’s against promotion hangers on Forest. Forest have had a great season but they must be NUFC tonight if they fancy a shot at automatic promotion as I cannot see WBA slipping up at this...

DRFC 0-1 NUFC
ANDY Carroll wrote some more headlines tonight as his tenth goal in eleven games gave us a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Doncaster at the Keepmoat.
A line-up that contains Nicky Butt and Ryan Taylor is always likely to make you massively pessimistic, but despite this setback we never looked particularly in any trouble, and when Routledge’s through ball set away Andy ‘The Hitman’...

Fernando Alexandre in Toon?
Fernando Alexandre has emerged as a target for Newcastle United.
The Portuguese midfielder is currently plying his trade for Leixoes - who are struggling at the wrong end of Portugal’s top-flight.
But 24-year-old Alexandre, who started his career with Benfica, has impressed in their midfield and he is now attracting attention from Newcastle.
Alexandre is actually owned by high-flying...

Shout out to The Longsands
Half of Shite Seats went to see the Longsands perform last night at the Robin Hood in Jarra (after having seen them last week in Gateshead) - and they rocked yet again.
These are the guys from Cramlington who perform the version of Blaydon Races that you hear at the start of the second half at SJP, and they do a brilliant live accoustic set all around the country.
2010 looks set to be a massive...
Harper about to break Club Record
LONG-SERVING keeper Steve Harper thought he had heard it all during his 17 years at Newcastle. But Harper has been rubbing his ears lately wondering if he is hearing things correctly.
The 35-year-old has grown accustomed to the Toon defence being slagged off.
Even in the glory years under Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson, Newcastle were never applauded for their meanness, resilience and...

Horrible little bastard agent Barry Silkman has claimed that NUFC turned down Zinedine Zidane, claiming he wasn’t good enough for the second division.
He also claims that the deal to take him to Juve from Bordeaux was £1.2m (in reality, it was £3.2m) and that he then moved to Real Madrid ‘two years later’ for £48m (fee correct, but it was actually five years at Juve).

During the police escort away from the game on Saturday, Cleveland Police decided in thier own crazy minds to lead Geordies away from The Riverside stadium in a timely, slow and rather unessecary manner.
