Newcastle United 2012/13 home and change shirts.The pictures above and below are what should be the new home and third kits for the 2012/13 season.
Of course, the Burgundyish away shirt is already out. But getting back to these two, it won’t really be great news for some, as these are the same as the ones we posted way back in January. The only difference being the change of shirt sponsor from “Northern Rock” in January to “Virgin Money” as it is now, though there is no sponsor displayed on these photos.

Two brilliant goals from both Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye put United on course to victory, with Phil Jones putting through his own net to complete the rout. It was a tremendous start to January, and helped eradicate the previous month’s below par performances. Pardew got the tactics spot on, knowing that Man Utd’s centre backs Rio Ferdinand and Phil Jones couldn’t handle the physicality of Magpies front men, Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi. (more…)
The end of the season is finally upon us. A season in which defied all expectations. A season where even the most optimistic of Toon fans would have struggled to predict what would be.
Newcastle United gate-crashed the top six, and also knocked on the door of the Premier League’s top four. As it turned out at 5pm on Sunday the 13th of May 2012, Newcastle United were confirmed as finishing in 5th place, above Chelsea, above Liverpool, and above the majority of peoples expectations.
The Europa League awaits the Magpies next season, a new chapter or perhaps a new beginning is on the horizon. But before we look forward into what might be, I’m now going to relive the season that was. Cast my mind back and tell the tale of Newcastle United’s 2011 / 2012 season. I hope you are all sitting comfortably… (more…)

Picture not indicative of prizesLive life in the fast lane with the NUFC Blog prediction competition, the second of which starts this weekend. There are cash prizes to be won, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the ensuing fame leads to a book deal and your own reality TV show!
The second NUFC Blog prediction competition kicks off this weekend and once again £175 is up for grabs: £100 for 1st place, £50 for second and £25 for third.
The last competition – which finished at the end of last year – was won jointly by El Toro and GeordieMagpie who shared the £150 for first and second places with GrandPoobah coming a respectable third.
I should mention our own Clint Flick too as he was actually joint 1st but is forbidden from claiming prize as he’s a writer on the blog, but he certainly deserves a share of the kudos. (more…)
