Europa, Transfers and matches
It's been a strange week and a half or so. Depending on how you look at your glass, we've done well not to lose any of our proper players (TM Graeme Souness) or we've dropped an almighty clanger in not...

How long has it been since we last played? Feels like forever ago that we were royally tonked by Chelsea. I've kind of got that back to school feeling where you forget how to write after 6 weeks off -...
View ArticlePlaying poorly but picking up points
The performance against Norwich will not go down in the field marked "vintage" - nor will it be remembered beyond this week I feel. However, the main thing is that we got three points on the board to...

Well it wasn't to be. As I arrived in town on Sunday, I amused myself by gawping at the coaches carrying "United" fans into our fair and noble city. In my short amble towards Pink Lane, I saw one from...
View ArticleSo close
It's difficult to know how to sum up my feelings after the derby game at the weekend. Pre-match, I had the same train of thought that I have before every derby - "I'll take a draw". So you'd think that...
View ArticleMarching on in Europe
It wasn't quite as comfortable as Bordeaux, but it was straight-forward enough in the end. The game was decided by a fine, fine goal from Obertan (fresh from filming the latest Argos ad) and some...
View ArticleRush of blood to the head
I've no idea what it is about Anfield. We always seem to crumble when we step onto that pitch. This was comfortably the worst Liverpool team I had ever seen, and we allowed them far too much time on...
View ArticleHow do you solve a problem like NUFC?
What's gone wrong? What has happened to one of the most effective units in the league? This makes for depressing reading, so if you've already got the Monday Blues - look away now or cheer yourself up...

Thank Shola for that - after a barren run (I'm all about understatements this morning) we finally put a win on the board after what feels like an eternity since we last picked up three points. West...

We never do well at Craven Cottage do we? I'm struggling to think of a win down there other than the one when Santiago Munez made an appearance in Goal. When we scored, I really felt we were going to...
View ArticleSame old
I'm getting bored of writing about defeats. It's all I seem to do this season. I still can't work out how we have gone from Champions League contenders to relegation fodder over a summer period. We can...
View ArticleVictory
Relief. Probably the one word that was flying around the watering holes of NE1 on Saturday evening. It was 90 minutes of dross with one touch of glass that ultimately decided where the points were...
View ArticleFat Man Football rip Cricket Club to shreds (not literally)
And so it was - the now annual football match between Gateshead Fell Cricket Club and Fat Man Football. What better way to run off that post-Christmas booze, turkey and mince pies than running around a...
View ArticleAssault at the DW
I haven't done one of these in a while. A combination of laziness and football being an incredibly mixed bag in recent months. You have the highs of last Thursday night, with a last second winner...
View ArticleWhat does The FA really stand for?
I'm afraid you're going to be subjected to another ranting monologue from me. If you want to picture me standing on a soap box, shaking my fist, be my guest. Unless you've been living under a box, you...
View ArticleNewcastle United: A Laughing Stock Once Again
I haven't written one of these for a while - but the latest farce at Newcastle United compelled me to do so. Joe Kinnear - our new Director of Football. What on earth?
