Before attacking a teenager on the streets of Liverpool, Joey Barton let loose on his then-Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo, and originally protested that he had given the Frenchman a good hiding for his own self-defence. The Newcastle midfielder has now admitted he was guilty and has got away with a pretty lenient punishment, have […]

Since Kevin Keegan walked out of St James’ Park for the first time in 1997, Newcastle have had six different managers, not including the messiah’s return earlier this year. While Sir Bobby Robson had a good four years in charge of the Magpies, it’s clear that ‘outsiders’ such as Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit, Graeme Souness […]

There are two sides to every story, although Newcastle supporters are unlikely to have an ounce of sympathy with the club’s hierarchy right now, even if they have seen their manager walk away just three league games into the season. Indeed, if this was an unpopularity contest, then Mike Ashley would be streets ahead after […]

While Magpies fans are probably still smarting after Kevin Keegan resigned from the club on Thursday night, he’s not coming back for a third time (!), so it’s time to turn our attention to who might replace him as Newcastle manager. At least the board have over a week before their next match which is […]

It’s not as if Newcastle United are short of problems right now. Kevin Keegan has walked away from the manager’s post for the second time, the owner seems to be completely clueless when it comes to running a football club and the fans are on the verge of boycotting the Magpies’ next match. However, they’re […]

While David Moyes and Didier Deschamps are names in the frame for the vacant Newcastle manager’s position, there is a clear favourite with fans, even if he doesn’t have any managerial experience. If he is persuaded to take the hotseat at St James’ Park, let’s hope his coaching skills are better than his punditry efforts!

The writing was on the wall earlier this week, when reports first emerged that Kevin Keegan had quit as Newcastle United manager. While the club eventually released a statement to confirm that King Kev was still in charge, this was all for nothing after the Magpies gaffer walked away from St James’ Park for the […]

According to many reports on Tuesday, there was no way back for Kevin Keegan at Newcastle, despite the board’s vote of confidence in the manager. However, he continues to remain in charge of the first team, despite missing two training sessions this week after protracted talks with Mike Ashley et al. It sounds like King […]

The situation remains unclear at St James’ Park, where Mike Ashley and Kevin Keegan have clearly been embroiled in some heavy-duty discussions. Only the pair and the fly on the wall are aware of the latest state-of-play, and whether the Newcastle manager has any mileage left on Tyneside. However, one of his opposite numbers thinks […]

Long-winded people are boring, and writing full sentences is for chumps. So instead you have just SIX words. Sound easy? Good for you.
The general consensus amongst the loyal Toon Army brigade is that owner Mike Ashley is almost solely responsible for the farce that is playing itself out at St James’ Park, and that Kevin […]
