The home match on Sunday 4th March is now a sellout after the last few tickets were sold yesterday as Papiss Cissé’ made his remarkable debut

At what stage would Newcastle fans think they had a chance of the Champions League spot?

Transfer window has closed but what a window of opportunity has opened up, have a look at this recent form guide.

I declare this transfer window officially closed!

So we get the third biggest crowds, sat in 6th place before tonight and as it stands could be ‘level’ in fourth on Sunday if we beat Blackburn and Villa…yet still so many of us feel unworthy.

Back in Coloccini and Gutierrez’s home country, violence overall is still increasing but one improvement in 2011 was only four deaths!

Puts into context NUFC banning non season-ticket holders/members buying away tickets because some daft kids ran on the pitch in a friendly.

I reckon it would be a pretty startling, but welcome, statistic if United went into the 2012/13 Premier League season with Captain Coloccini at the ripe old age of 30, out on his own as the voice of experience in the Newcastle dressing room.

Our first sighting of Papiss Cissé, in difficult circumstances, saw glimpses of a very lively striker with what looks great movement.

Let’s hope they all come back fit and well but message to our Senegalese strikers, don’t bring any international defensive team mates home with you!

The debate that has raged about the decision to try and name St,James’ Park as some other name, has brought out the best and worst in people/organisations.

St.James’ Park or S***** D***** A****, the BBC says it’s not our problem!!!

So sit back and enjoy the games as a kind of alternative European Championships without all the nonsense you have to put up with surrounding the England circus.

I’d rather see our three African representatives showcasing their talents and whetting our appetites for their return, a canny African Nations campaign will see them return as happy players and ready for the fight in the Premier League.

A frozen pitch means kick-off between Wrexham and Brighton is now 7.15pm on Wednesday 18th January.

Brilliant Video footage as we go back in time to 1950s Craven Cottage and Newcastle United are in town.

My personal highlight – Vic Keeble knocking their keeper into the middle of next week when scoring Newcastle’s fourth, thanks to The Mag’s YouTube channel.
