  Keep the Faith in Alan Pardew

  You don't win manager of the year for nothing.  There are a lot of fans out for Pardew's head at the minute, and I have to question, what are they smoking?  Pardew is a terrific manager, but is having a long and tough season. Newcastle are having a tough time, and on their current form, they wi...

  The Premier League 11

  I was very suprised to discover earlier this week that the newly crowned world 11 contained only la liga players, with Falcao being the only member of the team not to play for Barcalona or Real Madrid.  So I have decided to design my own version of the world 11 from just premier league players.

  How To Stop Diving

  After Luis Suarez recently came out and admitted to going down to try to win a penalty in the game against Stoke City, I think that it is time that the FA and FIFA as a whole took a much closer look at the diving issue.  In my opinion, it is a disgrace and it's cheating.  I'm not saying for a s...

  The Brightest Prospects In The World?

  This is a list of young players who I would be keen to sign as a manager. I reckon that with a good manager they could be formidable, despite them all being under the age of 21.  Almost all play in the english leagues, and although not all do in the premier league, I think this team could survi...

  Loic Remy, Newcastle and QPR: Time For The Wage Cap?

  As a Newcastle United fan, the rumours that QPR are apparently about to sign Loic Remy from under our noses by offering a huge wage frustrates me.  I understand how football works. At the end of the day cash is king, and the clubs with the most money will always have the best players, as things ...

  Chelsea and Demba Ba Talks Break Down

  It looks as if Ba may be staying at Newcastle United a little longer, after his representatives told Sky Sports news, they had an unproductive meeting with Chelsea.  Demba Ba's 7.5 million pound exit clause allows him to leave if he wishes, should a club offer the money. Chelsea are looking for...

  Are Newcastle In Serious Danger Of Relegation?

  20 games into the season, and 20 points for Newcastle United.  Its hardly the season a lot of supporters were expecting after the brilliance of last season.  The serious question that Alan Pardew and his staff have to ask themselves is whether Newcastle are genuine relegation contenders or can e...

  Sir Alex Ferguson, What A Disgrace!

  It's debatable whether Manchester United are the best team in the world.  What's not debatable, is that they complain the most, with their manager a leading expert in the field. Sir Alex Ferguson's behaviour was a disgrace to football management today, and he should be banned for his behaviour. ...

  Time To Go Defensive For Newcastle?

  It might just be me, but a lot of teams have been conceding a lot more goals this year.  It's great for fans, but managers will be having nightmares about sorting their defense.  Alan Pardew has a lot to think about.  Newcastle have been scoring goals recently, but we are still losing.  The reas...

  Newcastle United: The Best Fans In The World?

  Im going to start by saying that Newcastle's recent form has been dissapointing.  There is no two ways about it.  The team has lost four games in a row, and needs a confidence booster from somewhere.  Granted they were unlucky against Stoke, but Swansea and more worringly Southampton outplayed t...

  Carroll to West Ham?

He could be a great signing for the Hammers.  He is an ...

  Il give FIFA some credit. At least they havve approved Goal-line technology. Frankly, it was a no-brainer and had to be put in place. Technology exists in all other sports. And sometimes, as little as a photo finish can be the difference between a right and wrong desicion. In fact, FIFA approve...

  England need to pass the ball

  At the end of normal time agaist Italy, the England players were shattered.  The running had gone out of their legs and the desire and spirit was te only thing that kept them going.  England were then outplayed through extra-time and were rightfully defeated on penalties.  The reason is simply t...

  Free Agent Top Team

  So as the transfer window starts to kick into gear, managers are on the hunt for players to improve the squad for next year.  And whilst big-money signings are exciting for fans and players, free agents can be just as useful.  With that in mind, here is my team, composed entirely of free agents ...

  Transfer Vultures

After two years of great transfers and deals, at relatively cheap prices, clubs are starting to follow the players linked to Newcastle United. North London appears to be the most guilty of thi...

  Is a lack of culture costing England?

  Much has been made of England's below-par performances at recent major tournaments.  There are many factors to blame, such as managers, lack of desire, tiredness due to no winter break and a terrible record at penalty shoot-outs. However, I think that a core problem is that England players only...

  Key to success

  If there is one thing that we can learn from this season, it is that the best thing that a club can do is to stick with a manager.  This season, changes in manager have largely resulted in failure, and the teams where the manager was under no pressure have thrived. For me this is the difference...
