Almost two full months have passed since Newcastle’s last home league victory, the incredible 4-3 thriller against Leeds United on January 7th. But since then, The Magpies were outclassed by Aston Villa […]
In life as in football, there are no guarantees. But when Newcastle United take on Manchester United at St James’ Park tomorrow evening, you can just about guarantee one thing. At some point during the 90 minutes, all the way from the dizzy heights of the away end in Level 7, a familiar chorus will […]
Today marks five years since the passing of former Newcastle United player and manager Glenn Roeder, the Essex boy who became an adopted Geordie. Born in Woodford, Essex, Roeder joined Arsenal as a schoolboy before beginning his professional career with Leyton Orient. Roeder made over 100 appearances in the centre of Orient’s defence, and would […]
Newcastle United take on Everton at St James Park this weekend, with just one point separating the sides in the Premier League table.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has encouraged his players to ‘dream big’ ahead of tomorrow evening’s UEFA Champions League play-off second leg tie against Qarabag FK.

For the second Saturday evening in a row, Newcastle United found themselves on the wrong end of some dubious officiating, as they fell to yet another defeat away to Manchester City.

When Newcastle take on Manchester City this evening, it will be 9,275 days since they last left the blue half of Manchester with a league victory.

In what may well be his finest hour for the club, forward Anthony Gordon hit four first-half goals as Newcastle United all but secured their place in the Champions League round of 16 after dominating Qarabag FK. After a near-3000-mile trip, the visitors got off to a dream start in Baku, with Gordon latching onto […]
Words by Matthew Connelly Wednesday night marks another stop on Newcastle United’s European adventure as they make the 2,529-mile trip to Azerbaijan, the longest by an English team in the history of the competition, to face Qarabag FK. Although somewhat of an unknown entity to the majority of English football fans, the Azerbaijani side are no pushovers and have shown promise already in […]
The FA Cup 5th round draw has thrown up a familiar tie for Newcastle United fans, as they once again face Manchester City in a domestic cup. Like many Newcastle fans, I joked in the days leading up to the draw, words to the effect of “watch, we’ll get Man City”. And with good reason. […]
Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney slammed “one of the worst decisions ever in football” after a series of refereeing errors as Newcastle United knocked Aston Villa out of the FA Cup. Like a lot of games nowadays, VAR became the main talking point, despite not being in use at Villa Park. A series of poor decisions Aston Villa took the lead through […]
