    Just suppose...

    Tilly believed Heath and White were going to stay. When they joined, Col U had a different manager. They've done well for us and have now been recalled, leaving us just one weekend prior to the window closing. Left back is the real problem position and Tilly is in talks with an out of favour...
  2. We could have signed Ian Wright - did you know??

    Ian Wright came to professional football relatively late. Despite having had trials at Southend United and Brighton during his teens, he was unable to attract sufficient interest to win a professional contract offer. Reverting to playing for amateur and non-league teams, he was left...

    Taxing Times For EPL

    Have you noticed anything strange about this transfer window? Usually by this stage of the summer the Premier League is awash with new superstars from every corner of the planet, all clutching whopping great contracts and glibly swearing their allegiance to the cause, but with the exception of...

    Lessons Learned?

    The season starts in less than a month. Have we learned nothing? Go back twelve months. No left back, Bailey and Clarke out of contract, Gower gone and little in the way of positive news regarding transfers. With the season approaching fast, and pretty much all of the pre-season games out of...

    Trouble in Toon

    Believe it or not, a lot of Newcastle United fans were philosophical about their relegation at the end of last season. They recognised that you cannot run a football club as appallingly as Freddie Shepherd and Mike Ashley had without inviting serious consequences into your frontroom for dinner...

    Random Article on Youth Set up

    Was looking for something else and stumbled across this article on the youth set up in 2000. All sounds very similar to what we are hearing these days, with the 'Score' team sounding like the development deals we now have.....have things really changed that much?! Soccer: Babes to give...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...
  10. Rons Blog 07.04.09

    Firstly let me apologise for last week’s “void”. It was my intention to answer the questions raised over a period of two to three weeks and at the end of that period to review whether supporters generally thought it was a good idea to continue with a blog – be it weekly, fortnightly or not at...

    Tyne Is Running Out

    Newcastle United are going down. Whatever you read in the press, whatever club sources say on the website, they are circling the drain ready to be sucked down into the Championship. There is no hope on Tyneside anymore. Their supporters, more than anyone else at the club, realise that this is...

    Just a thought...

    Just a thought, with Charlton doomed and Southampton and Norwich looking iffy what's to say that they're not going to come down and swoop on some of our players? Would never want to be a prophet of doom for next season but with these down there in the mix 09/10 season could be an almighty...

    Furious Phil Unleashes Hell

    Arsenal 2-1 Hull City (Van Persie, 74) (Barmby, 12) (Gallas, 84) Phil Brown's phone will be red hot by now. In one exhilarating ten minute press conference, the furious Hull City manager unleashed a string of attacks aimed at everyone he deemed responsible for his team's exit. He accused Cesc...

    Prediction League News End of Season Cup 1st Round Draw and Competition Rules

    As mentioned in the other thread DoDtS came to me with an idea about a knock out competition to run alongside the established league, i thought it was a great idea as it should keep the interest running to the seasons end for a few more posters, i was hoping it would attract a few new...
  15. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...

    Ode For Today: A Cleaner Version

    The problem with the catchy little "Col Ewe fan on a string" ditty is that parts of its chorus can attract the unwanted attention of any stewards inclined to enforce the no foul language thing. Arguably too its words prevent anyone over the age of six joining in, so some parts of the family...
  17. Only one new player today!!!!

    With all the rumours today we have only got one new player or am I wrong? Borrowdale and Upson are only rumours that does not mean we are going to get these two lads. My mate is a QPR fan and does not seem to rate him very highly. I suppose thats about the quality that we will attract to RH.

    Tilson out?

    I see we've had a bit of a poor run of late which has led to a vocal minority coming out of the woodwork and calling for the gaffer's head. I dug this up from the archives earlier. Just goes to show how far we've come as a club under Tilly and that maybe his biggest 'mistake' was raising...

    Shrimpers Sing Their Way To Success

    It was all for nothing. I've worked long and hard over the last 18 months to build some kind of credibility with the UK press pack and on Saturday afternoon I ruined it all by going absolutely mental at Stamford Bridge. It's not the done thing to celebrate a goal in the press box, but wild...
