The wait is over!It’s here, it’s finally here. After months of anticipatioin, the World Cup is finally under way in South Africa.

Don’t worry though, this World Cup malarkey wont detract from the main purpose of this ‘blog, that is to bring you the latest news and a bit of debate and discussion regarding all things Newcastle United, that will still continue.
