Crisis? What crisis? Assessing United’s ‘wobble’
Since the beginning of December, promotion-chasing Newcastle United have played seven Championship games, winning four and losing three. You’d be forgiven for saying that’s not scintillating form. The loss to Nottingham Forest was farcical. United ended the game, undeservedly, with nine men but fans remained positive. The players fought, scrapped, hassled and ran more …
Analysing Jack Colback’s decline since his debut season
It’s fair to say that Jack Colback isn’t the most popular player in the Newcastle squad at the moment. Many criticised him during our recent defeat to Blackburn Rovers.

Ciaran Clark: Solid as a Rock
It was June 13th and the Republic of Ireland were about to begin their treacherous ‘group of death’ at EURO 2016 in Stade de France. They were 1-0 up against Ibrahimovic’s Sweden. As the Irish fans continued to bring the noise, a ball was fizzed across their box by Zlatan. Ciaran Clark, in pure instinct, attempted to clear it with his head. The ball went into his own …
