It would be unsurprising if Obertan were to leave yet another club in search of consistent playing time this summer. It is my belief that failure to correctly identify his best talent (as opposed to the *idea* of his best talent) is the culprit
Now with 100% more iTunes (well... technically last week was in iTunes as well, but this should be the first week of automatic download for any subscribers!) We talk West Ham, Wigan v. Swansea, relegation, QPR and more. Check us out.
Alan Pardew believes Saturday's 0-0 draw with West Ham proved Newcastle fighting spirit and determination.
Newcastle United Football Club have spent the best part of the last 48 hours taking various media outlets to task. Why bother now? (Sub-plot: Maybe I can get them to react to me?!)
Chock full of fresh goodness we react to the Liverpool debacle, the freshest rumors regarding the dressing room and transfer rumors as well as the relegation scrap. Add a bit of chuckling, a decent dash of wanting to cry and a touch of hope - Ep. 4!
Coming Home Newcastle's Official Podcast returns for a third installment... and produces 1/3 of what was a 1.5 hour effort. Technology hates me, but this episode stands as homage to NUFC's season.
They're not exactly words to soothe the savage beast that is the Toon Army at this point, but is Alan Pardew's latest quote worth the ire it is sure to raise?
40 more minutes to add to yesterday's 38. Nearly 80 total minutes of Toon talk this week.
Callum Kane and Robert Bishop debate the merits of keeping Alan Pardew as manager of Newcastle United.
So it crashed spectacularly, but you've got 38 minutes to start with and we'll finish up the rest tomorrow. Sorry for the issues!
We've been threatening it for a while, and how have delivered! Robert and I recorded the first episode of the official Coming Home Newcastle podcast!
The Football Association has decided not to punish Wigan striker Callum McManaman for his tackle on Massadio Haidara that saw the Newcastle defender stretchered off.
Callum McManaman's tackle on Massadio Haidara has caused plenty of reaction around the footballing world, including an irrational defense from his manager. Here's why he's wrong.
If you've read for a while, you know that I would have had Rob Elliot out of the club over the summer. His performances in the preseason fed into that feeling. He has, however, shown better during this season and deserve just a little trust.
We're in need of at least a scoring draw to progress in the Europa League. There is that small matter of the league match v. Southampton to consider as well. Can we get something in Kiev while putting maximum concentration on the Premier League?
You expect to see silly rumors in January and in the month leading up to the re-opening of the transfer window at the end of the Premier League season. You hope not to see them in February - and not as silly as this one.
Newcastle fans are angry over a letter alleged to be from Fabricio Coloccini to the supporters of San Lorenzo. Is there even a slight chance that this could be a wind-up orchestrated by someone in Argentina as a last ditch chance to force a move?
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has taken umbrage with Newcastle United taking advantage of the January transfer window. Or is he taking umbrage with Newcastle's success recruiting in France? Meh. Doesn't matter.
The Coloccini Saga is spreading, and the reports of his desire to return to San Lorenzo are now being picked up by mainstream media outlets. Even still, the language being used by involved parties leaves room for doubt.
Frequently, you will hear the supporters of Newcastle United mentioned amongst the "best supporters in the Premier League" due to our passion. This also makes us an easy target for the rumor mongers.
Former players with a passion for their former clubs are not a dime a dozen... but they're not always right, either.
Dee Snyder is going to help us react to a run of 10 losses in 13 matches. Maybe. I'm pretty sure that we all are suffering appropriately anyway.
Danny Simpson has come out this week in an interview and laid the blame of Newcastle's poor form this season down to being "unlucky". On the evidence of what Toon supporters have seen on the pitch, it's more than that.
What can the infamous 4-4 draw with Arsenal in 2011 teach us about the current Newcastle squad?
In the season preview, we presented a couple of options with regard to where we felt the ceiling and the floor of this Premier League season would be for Newcastle United. How does reality stack up to the imaginary matches played pre-season?
We all do it - we all have routines and superstitions that we take on in order to "help our team". Sometimes, though, it seems like they're falling on emptiness, which brings you to the point of questioning things and trying to cut a deal.
