St.James’ Park to host England v Scotland under 18s and Olympic matches in the summer.

Would be nice to think Newcastle would also at least be a serious contender for Europa League finals in the future.

With battle raging on the St.James’ Park and S***** D***** A**** front, have we seen the ultimate expression of Mike Ashley’s approach to business.

Friday morning NUFC/Ashley send a tweet to the fans ‘Still available – St.James’ Park Street Sign – Only £8′!

‘Auf Wiedersehen Pet’ became a massive success in the 1980s.

Now though Burnley FC are attempting to claim Newcastle United fan Neville (Kevin Whateley) as one of theirs, give ower man – what would Brenda say, never mind Dennis and Oz!

Would you have settled for six points from Blackburn, Villa and today? Answer of course is yes but would have been nice to compete a bit against ‘arry’s boys.

Two weeks to reflect and back in against Wolves, Newcastle UNITED will never be defeated.

Alan Pardew announced today he is staying in Toon!

“As an Englishman I am proud to be in the frame (for England) but I am not in the running. I am happy here and want to see it through.The passion is here and we have a project here”.

Papiss Cissé ;It’s extraordinary for me to see such an incredible fanbase. I could not be happier”.

Don’t worry Papiss, the feeling is mutual!

A stunning victory but also a top notch performance; brilliant goals from Ba and Cabaye plus hilarious own goal to round off 3-0 drubbing.

Own the full 90 minutes on DVD, a New Year without the usual NUFC hangover!

Opening half hour was decent with Newcastle controlling the ball and creating a couple of decent chances.

Last hour was woeful and even though Brighton scored a flukey goal with their only chance and NUFC should have won a penalty, only ourselves to blame.

I hope that, fitness worries aside, we keep the same team and formation that played so well in that first half against Fulham.

Ben Arfa features in our first suggested bet as we are taking him to continue his excellent recent scoring run and score the first goal in a 3-1 win.

Watford claim Newcastle’s offer was derisory for their centre-back.

What is for sure is that Newcastle are desperate for defensive cover and with only five days remaining of the transfer window Alan Pardew will be hoping a deal can be done for Mariappa or an alternative.
