is that 5 clean sheets in a row for our keeper? take the draw before we started. Onwards and upwards my friends. Joe cole settled in and may have had a goal but it bodes well for the next game with him and Fleck

It was frustrating today. Blackpool came to earn and point and they got it. They could have stolen all three with that second half chance their forward put wide when he should have buried it. Armstrong looked fatigued and the movement of the side was just not there. Fleck was too deep and only...

Joe Cole signing even for a short period is such positive news. The benefit Maddison and the whole team will get is huge. It will lift the morale at the club and of the supporters 10 fold. TM is weaving some magic with his budget. He wants promotion no doubt about that. Exciting stuff for the...

Egg on a few of the usual pessimistic faces I see

What a silly OP. The conventional wisdom is very different. A Rugby club moving home and getting its hands on the leasehold of a spanking stadium on the cheap is one thing but filling it to anywhere near capacity and maintaining said stadia is another. WASP know full well the football club...

They say after around 12 games things settle down and we see who is maintaining consistent form. Well we are there now and we are fairly consistent. But I caution anyone thinking this is easy. They have transformed thier season a little from an atrocious start. We should I beleive have no...

A brilliant series and Martin Freeman AKA Bilbo Baggins is excellent, as is Billy Bob!

AA wasn't seen as a 20 goal a season man when we got him but there was hope he could be good at this level as has been proved now. So I guess TM has other options and some reserve budget in place for such situations but he won't be telling us or anyone else will he?

Of course not. Ludicrous idea. TM has been excellent so far and we all recognize the 'difference' he has brought about top to bottom of this football club. It's why we keep talking about it and posting suggestions like this of the OP. But it's too soon to be thinking this way. An extension to...

oh dear.

Apart from the obvious Armstrong we will be fielding a stronger side on Saturday. Fortune and Tudgay are equally good replacements in my opinion to get us a goal or two. I'm glad Pressley got his first win at home and he will need that as his old team come to town and beat him in his second...

Armstrong is doing exactly what Newcastle would have hoped for. he's not ready for the premier league. A successful season at Coventry would be perfect for his development and it comes with the added bonus of having Tm at the helm.

Last week I said it was one of those days and not a 'disappointment' but sadly today it was just that - a 'disappointment'. We gave away two silly goals from sloppy defending and TM alluded to this in his interview. The second half we were on top and given time we would have won the game most...

This is a point worth repeating. At Northampton we were sensational with Calum Wilson and Leon Clarke netting for fun and Baker and Moussa adding even more. We started tremendously well and played attacking exciting football I had not seen for a while. It was when we hit injuries and lost Wilson...

No. Not good enough for us now.

This is a moot point. the difference in the premiership and league 1 is huge. You do McClaren a dis service to suggest he would be recalled to Newcastle on the presumption he would continue at that level in the same vein? highly unlikely. You are saying Cisse for example is worse than Armstrong...

I think there is pessimism where it shouldn't be and a distinct lack of optimism so early in the season. TM will have no intention of players turning in two below par performances in a row. that's our ace in the hole.

Oh Good! Well have to make that one then...

Not another one until March! (unless there is a cup fixture of course) In fact it's the only one scheduled all season. Other night games mid week are all away from home. That will limit my capacity to watch the lads! Here's hoping for some rearranged fixtures to fill my need!

I was surprised by the result today. I can only surmise it was a bad day at the office and TM will not make the same mistake again. I called for Tudgay and Armstrong both to start and it seems that idea changed us and made us more playable by the opposition. Don't think we will see that line up...
