A typical overreaction to Newcastle United’s stuttering form from the majority

Alan Pardew shakes hands with Joey Barton after Newcastle's 3-1 vs. Liverpool

Pardew - Will keep Newcastle United in the Premier League this season

I watched the whole ninety minutes of Newcastle United’s thumping at the Britannia on Saturday and was less than impressed as you would. We were dominated, looked heartless and make a desperate Stoke City team look like a team a division above us.
Jon Walters header before the break was a great header from a great Jermaine Pennant cross; take nothing away from them. Sol Campbell was [Read more →]

Leon Best has adapted to the physicality of the Premier League brilliantly

Leon Best

Best - Should be available for the tie against Stevenage this evening

It’s that time of the year again when the FA Cup dominates the scene. Newcastle United are away to Stevenage at 5.30 and it is live on TV, which is a bit of a novelty in FA Cup ties nowadays.

Alan Pardew may well rest Cheik Tioté, Leon Best, Jose Enrique and maybe even Jonas Gutierrez, and [Read more →]
