    Newcastle Lose Two Points at West Brom
    Just what did Alan Pardew say at halt-time in Newcastle's Premier League clash at West Brom on Saturday? After dominating a first half and showing great self-belief, movement and passing ability, the second half featured a Newcastle team which appeared nervy and uneasy on the ball. Ne...

    Newcastle Just Fail Against Benfica
    Alas, it was not to be. Newcastle failed to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the away leg and were forced to settle for 1-1 draw in their Europa Cup quarter-final second leg against Benfica. Needing to win 2-0, it was perhaps the pre-match words of manager Alan Pardew which decided the tie. ...

    Newcastle United Have A Day Off at The Etihad Stadium
    In what can be politely described as a lethargic display, Newcastle were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Manchester City in their Premier League clash at the Etihad. Only one shot on target from five attempts speaks volumes about the seemingly lack of intent from the Magpies. Newcastle b...

    Relegation Threat Persists for Newcastle After Wigan Loss
