We arent analysts, Mister Sterling... we are just fans like everyone else!
West Ham 2-0 NUFC: McClaren's Honeymoon Ends
The game in one sentence: Newcastle's team transport may have shown up late to Upton Park, but alarmingly few of the players seemed to have made it to the match at all. The lineup: Krul; Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Haïdara; Anita (de Jong 60), Colback; Sissoko, Wijnaldum (Aarons 79), Thauvin (Pé...
Phil approves of this comment. Well done, Freaky Deaky
I went with the Ginger Pirlo because I like the nickname, but yea.. its not accurate. If you noticed I have a fascination with physical appearance and lack of ability to tan. Pirlo has infinitely better hair. Its like comparing Tom Brady to Gabby Obertan.
Now Presenting ... Overreaction Theater
Welcome to Overreaction Theater. In this space, I will find comments about Newcastle United from various dark alleys of the Internet, and discuss whether or not they have any merit. Let’s start with the most common overreaction to the match against Southampton. From the Chronicle ... Phil’s...
Wait.. thats not Beeker.. what is his name?
Inside Lee Charnley's Interrogation Room
From the Chronicle today: United’s managing director Lee Charnley asked Carver three questions – could he handle the criticism, keep the team up and win back the dressing room. The head coach, who did not offer his resignation on Sunday or Monday, answered yes to all three and that satisfied t...
Well said B Gords.
Bob, get out of here with this "job" stuff ;)
Dallas trip gives American NUFC fans their boycott moment
Newcastle United appears set to visit the US this summer for a six-team tournament in Dallas. Now the question for NUFC fans in America, as it has been lately for our Newcastle native counterparts: To go or not to go? The last time the club came across the Atlantic, in the summer of 2011, any q...
Thats a great point B Gords about the perception if we as a whole do not show up. I think with the benefit of social media though we would get our message out that its not acceptable for the club to behave like they are and us US fans show up in droves to Pizza Hut Park to support what has been a embarrassment for 2 seasons.
Its tough either way. Im glad our blog brought forth the different opinion

I understand your point B Gords, but what I loved about the article is the opportunity to stay away. It raises the thought of sharing that burden instead of "welp, were off to Dallas".
My personal opinion is a tournament without NUFC fans in attendance is more impactful than one where the fans show up for meet and greets than show red cards at the ownership. I dont think you can have it both ways. I think if you show up with your banners and your red cards, they already have your money. Club dont care you are protesting.
Its very linear to our friends overseas.. you could show up to SJP with your protests or would staying away send a bigger message?
And Im not concerned about the message it will send to the 7 u18 French kids they sign in the offseason.

Oh yea.. Vernon Anita's new nickname is Groupon. Because "remember when he use to be a thing?"
Three Points: NUFC 3-3 Burnley...The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same
Three points fresh out of the hot take oven to digest after Newcastle’s 3-3 draw with Burnley on New Year’s Day: The John Carver era begins much like the Pardew era ended. The lineup told you everything you wanted to interpret about how Carver would put his stamp on the Newcastle squad. Emmanu...
The team is crying out for some new blood too. A spark is definitely needed.
Three Points: NUFC 0-2 City/Mike Jones
Three quick takes on today's maddening (but also somewhat encouraging) loss to Manchester City: Tiooooooooooooot-oh no! There's really nothing to say about the offside call that erased Cheick Tioté's would-be equalizer. It was an absolutely horrendous decision. If Alan Pardew's halftime tirade...
