Bookies’ candidates to replace McClaren

Undeniably, the pressure on Steve McClaren’s shoulders is rapidly increasing as the weeks go by. Since arriving in the summer, the Magpies have only picked up two victories from their opening 14 games this season. They currently sit in a dangerous 19th place.

Twitter Reacts: Newcastle slump to 5-1 defeat at Selhurst

A week of ‘feisty’ training sessions actually led to a worse performance than last week’s dismal 3-0 defeat to Leicester, as Steve McClaren’s Newcastle ensemble were thrashed 5-1 by Crystal Palace.

McClaren refuses to quit Newcastle

With dreadful results piling the pressure on Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren, the former England manager has vowed to stay at the club – no matter what happens. Since arriving in the summer, McClaren has certainly not enjoyed a fruitful start to life on Tyneside. The Magpies have won only two games this season, and […]

Former boss backs McClaren to succeed

Steve McClaren is the right man to lead Newcastle to success, claims former Magpies’ manager Chris Hughton. With the club sitting in an unhealthy 17th position after just two wins from 13 Premier League games, the pressure on McClaren has unsurprisingly increased in recent weeks. But Hughton, who guided Newcastle to promotion from the Championship […]

Combined Newcastle/Crystal Palace XI

After a severely distressing 3-0 hammering at the hands of Leicester City last week, Newcastle will travel to Selhurst Park to face former manager Alan Pardew and his Crystal Palace side.

The best players Newcastle nearly signed

What could have been? Newcastle United have acquired the services of some ravishing, and some not so ravishing players in recent history. From Alan Shearer to Xisco, there have been many ups and downs for the Magpies, in terms of recruitment. Every year, piles of players see themselves linked with moves to Tyneside and inveterately, […]

McClaren blasts awful display

Steve McClaren refused to offer any excuses towards Newcastle’s abysmal 3-0 defeat to a Leicester City side who ran riot at St. James’ Park. The under-pressure gaffer had some strong words of criticism for his Toon ensemble, labelling the defeat as “the worst performance of the season”. The Magpies were undeniably played off the park […]

PLAYER RATINGS: Newcastle 0-3 Leicester

Newcastle came into this game off the back of a thoroughly undeserved win against Bournemouth. The seemingly long international break should have enabled the Magpies to regroup and prepare efficiently for today’s game against Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester side. However, what the fans had to endure was nothing short of diabolical. An unchanged eleven was named, […]
