The powers-that-be at St James’ Park are probably grateful that Tottenham’s current ‘crisis’ has meant that it’s the White Hart Lane club who are dominating the sports pages at the moment, rather than Newcastle’s current plight. Against Manchester City on Monday night, they have an opportunity to clamber out of the bottom three, with a […]

Many COS readers will remember John Fashanu more for his bright waistcoats and for him shouting ‘Awooga’ on Gladiators rather than what he did as a professional footballer. Others will not-so-fondly remember the striker putting himself about for Wimbledon, scoring plenty of goals and roughing up defenders in the process. It appears as though Newcastle […]

With Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins at the club, Newcastle are seemingly blessed with attacking quality, although injury seems to be persistent for the former two players. Therefore, perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise that they have kept hold of this striker, who was a hair’s breadth away from signing for Ipswich Town […]

It appeared that Shola Ameobi was about to end his eight-year association with Newcastle United, something that appeared to be delighting many Magpies fans.

Sky Sports report that […]

Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi has featured in just 8 matches for the Geordies so far this season and has failed to find the back of the opposition net in those matches. He was left out in the cold by the then Geordie manager Sam Allardyce in the first half of the season and although […]

Some vital match practice at last for out-of-favour Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi. Ameobi has been left out in the cold for much of the season but new Toon boss Kevin Keegan wants him to resume his usual activities and pull himself together. Ameobi will play for United’s reserves team against Manchester City’s reserves on […]

The speculation about Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi has come to en end. Newcastle United Mad reports that Championship side Norwich City have been unable to dig out the £1 million required to sign the player from the Geordie club.
Not that newly-appointed Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan was in the mood to sell the 26-year old […]

Eurosport has reported that Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is eager to bring the Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi to Fratton Park this month.
The move might not be a feasible one at this stage though. Although there is more than a whisper of a wind of change blowing through St. James’ park, newly appointed Geordie manager […]
