Newcastle United season review 2011/12 video part one (Part two below).
You tube video masters, Ross & Affy, AKA “Gallowgatetooners1” have asked us if we would be interested in posting their excellent video review of Newcastle United’s 2011/12 season on here and I had no hesitation. I saw the first part a while back and was looking forward to the second part anyway, so here it is!
Finally, for those of you who haven’t read it yet, there is also our very own Jimbob’s also excellent two part review of the season too (see links below).
Many, many thanks to Ross, Affy, Ian and Jimbob for producing such great stuff!(more…)
Following on from part one of Newcastle United’s 2011 / 2012 season review, we begin at the start of the new year with a home tie against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United.
January – Man Utd humbled / A Nightmare at the Cottage / The new number nine…

Newcastle United gate-crashed the top six, and also knocked on the door of the Premier League’s top four.

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…)
