Torres terrorises Toon

12:42 AM, Tuesday, 11 March 2008

Another 3 points and another 3 goals. Ever since the Barnsley result, we've been flying in the league. That's 16 points out of a possible 18 in our last six matches which makes us the most in form team in the league. We're now just 2 points behind Chelsea, having played two games...

Irons hammered

10:43 AM, Friday, 07 March 2008

4-0 and all's well. Goal number 1, a right footed half volley from a Kuyt cross. Goal 2 was a looped header over Green with Kuyt the provider again. Goal 3 was a close ranged effort coolly slotted past the keeper after Riise flicked the ball on. The boy done well. And to...

Is It Wrong To Write An Obituary? (Part Two)

02:05 PM, Saturday, 02 February 2008

Oh, now this is almost too good to be true. Not the picture, I mean. That makes me feel ever so slightly nauseous. What I'm talking about is, of course, Newcastle United's amazing decision to take on Kevin Keegan for a second spell as replacement to Sam Allardyce at St James Park....

Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle: Man of the Mathieu

08:20 AM, Thursday, 31 January 2008

Sky might have awarded Man of the Match to Emmanuel Adebayor, but Mathieu Flamini was the really outstanding player in this game. That's not to say that Ade was bad - he gave their defence a torrid time as usual, and of late he always looks like he's going to score. His...

To put his general state of mind in perspective, I only found out this information after he walk...
