And if anyone can find radio, video links etc to the game for people who don’t have it, I’m sure that would be appreciated. As I’ll be on my way down to the game or holed-up in a boozer, I might not be able to update with team news and craic from the build-up, as and when we find it out but hopefully worky will.
Results went our way this week and hopefully we can just keep rolling on.
Howay the lads! (more…)
Yet rarely, if ever, do we all agree on something, but are we approaching a time when we can all just about agree on one thing? Chris Hughton is indisputably ‘making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’. Regardless of the quality in the division, regardless of the undeniable expectation we should have of our highly-paid stars to perform, Chris Hughton has stood up and been counted this season, and has not been found wanting.
By no means do I always agree with what Louise Taylor has to say but her article in the Guardian is excellent. In it, she suggests the contradiction of a number of skewed (mis?)perceptions, during Hughton’s recent tenure and explores how he is quietly going about his job and getting results in spite of the protracted sideshows constantly arising to trip him up along the way.

Following from the last ‘BBM exclusive interview’ with former player John Watson, Dean took time out to answer some questions from yours truly:
BBM: “Dean, first of all, it’s a pleasure to have you do this interview for the blog and I know your website contains a brief summary of what you’re about but can you tell us a little about what you do and how it works?” (more…)
Would you credit it though? We were again outplayed for long periods of the game and yet we did the important thing which was to come away with a win. Despite being outplayed overall, Newcastle started well and with the confidence expected of the league leaders. Hughton also rang the changes from the previous game and with Nicky Butt coming in for Nolan, Pancrate in for Guthrie and Ameobi back from a long lay-off, there were three players buzzing to impress. Andy Carroll didn’t get involved at all.
This was another match for which Radio Newcastle were my eyes on the game, but with our defence looking shaky again to begin with, Jonas Gutiérrez gave us some respite against a Coventry side seeking a first win in ten league games. Fabrice Pancrate appeared to struggle against the pace of their other full back. (more…)
And if anyone can find radio links etc to the game for people who don’t have it, I’m sure that would be appreciated. I have an important date at an exclusive nativity play tonight but hopefully I’ll be back in time to update with team news and craic from the build-up, as and when we find it out.
Results went our way last night and with our recent good form, there’s an excellent opportunity to go seven points clear of second place and get some daylight between us and the chasing pack tonight. Hopefully, despite the distractions off the pitch, we’ll be very much focused on it, even without top goalscorere Kevin Nolan. And new man Fab Pancrate will itching to build on his great goal on Saturday.
New songs for Pancrate as it happens (spread the word) – (more…)
