Seats Statement - 27th Feb 2012
As many would have seen, a comment regarding the ‘coffin’ stunt on Saturday after Uniteds 2-2 ‘defeat’ against Wolves, set tongues wagging. It was in course in jest and in reference to the Ruud Gullit SJP is cursed episode of many moons ago, where Mr Gullit had the pitch blessed as he believed the ground and pitch had ‘bad karma’ or some shit and that could...

NUFC 2-2 WWFC
A frustrating afternoon at SJP saw United throw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 with struggling Wolves.
Pardew restored the returning Cabaye and Tiote to the line-up, and Ryan Taylor also returned on the right of the midfield with Ba and Cissé starting up top.
And United started very well, and took the lead on 6 minutes when great work from Cabaye robbed Christophe Berra, and teed up Demba Ba,...

Match Preview & Predictions - Wolves (H) - Premier...
Finally, a 3pm kick off on a Saturday. Enjoy it as it’s the second last one of the season.
After the sacking of Mick McMackem and installing their interim boss today, we face a bewildered Wolves side who should be lacking confidence after their last league game, a 5-1 home defeat to neighbours West Brom. Ex-mag Sebastian Bassong (one of the jump-ship brigade) is expected to return from...

Europe could we manage it, do we want it, can we...
So talk of Europe for Newcastle United continues, both by fans and pundits. Here are the stats so far in black and white….
Games 25, Position 5th, Points 42, Wins 12, Draws 6, Losses 7, Goal Difference 0.
At the start of the season, if you had provided these stats to any NUFC fan at the end of February, the majority and mentally stable amongst you would have let go a little smirk or probably...

Zambia do it...
So the African Cup of Nations is now over, the favourites the star studded Ivory Coast team fall short at the last to a spirited Zambia side, who had ghosts of the past to exorcise in the Gabonese capital of Libreville.
All thoughts pre-match were with the Zambian team of 1993 who were tragically killed when a military aircraft carrying the national squad plunged into the Atlantic Ocean killing...

THFC 5-0 NUFC
It truly was Shite Hart Lane for Pardew’s Mags last night as the patched-up midfield surrendered meekly in front of a rampant Spurs to remind Harry Redknapp just what he’ll be leaving behind should he take on the world’s biggest football job at England.
Pardew tried to go attacking, with a 4-4-2 allowing the Dembii to start together for the first time, but all of the pre-game...

Match Preview & Predictions - Spurs (A) - Premier...
This weekend’s game see’s us play tax dodger supremo and future England manager Harry Redknapp’s Spurs.
Spurs are currently the second most in-form team in the league, along with that shower of shite down the road in terms of results.
Unlike their game on Monday night against Racistpool, Spurs are thought to a few of their absentee’s back, whilst we are still without Tiote (ACON) and Cabaye...

‘Better squad on paper’
‘Your bubble is bursting’
‘Played no-one’

NUFC 2-1 AVFC
A wonderful debut strike from Papiss Demba Cissé gave Pardew’s Mags another crucial home three points to keep the charge for - don’t snigger - the Champions League places on track.
Pardew shuffled his pack again, this time starting with a midfield of Raylor, Guthrie, Perch and Jonas in a four-man midfield, with Leon Best partnering the returning Demba Ba up front, only for him to lose...

BRFC 0-2 NUFC
United snuck away with a rare three points from Ewood on Wednesday night as an goal from Scott Dann and a first for Gabriel Obertan gave Pardew’s Mags a 2-0 victory.
Fortune favoured us for the first time in a while, and shone on Ryan Taylor when his strike from outside the area took a wicked deflection off Scott Dann and wrong footed Paul Robinson to give a 12th minute lead.
