Least Valuable Premier League XI

by tyduffy on May 31, 2009 · 12 comments

This is not the worst team in the Premier League.  It is the least valuable.  This team would incite the masses with talent, with name recognition and with expense.  They would then fail pathetically.  This team could be composed entirely of Newcastle players, but we thought we’d include a few others to keep things interesting.

Yes it’s harsh to blame one person with [...]

How To Make Newcastle United A Successful Club Again

by The Gaffer on September 23, 2008 · 4 comments

Contrary to popular belief, Newcastle United is not a poisoned club. Nor are they jinxed with injuries. At worst, they’re a poorly run club who has made one bad decision after another after another.
With news that a Nigerian consortium are interested in buying Newcastle, Toon fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that current owner [...]

Joey Barton is never far from controversy and such was the case today when the Newcastle midfielder returned to professional football. In his game today for Newcastle, he only touched the ball once during the three minutes he played.
In those three minutes, he commited a controversial tackle, showed little respect, was purposefully tripped by an [...]
