I never thought I’d see it in my lifetime, but Newcastle United has been relegated to the Coca Cola Championship. Just like the downfall of Leeds not too long ago, Premier League clubs are licking their lips at the prospect of another firesale. Some top class players will be leaving St. James’ Park over the course of the next few months, and here we’ll take a look at the best of the best Newcastle has to offer.

Without a doubt the biggest name that will leave Newcastle United, Michael Owen can…

A very impressive Stoke City side continued to march up the table by handing Hull City a shock 2-1 defeat at the KC Stadium this afternoon. In all fairness, Phil Brown’s Tigers were completely outplayed and had it not been for defender Andy Dawson’s last minute consolation, the final score would have been a little too embarrassing for the hosts.

While Hull’s free-fall from European places into a fight for relegation has been very well documented over the last few months, many expected them to eventually go clear of a stuttering Newcastle…

Following Newcastle’s most recent loss at the hands of Liverpool, Joey Barton and Alan Shearer exchanged some not so pleasant words.

All season long the relegation battle has made pundits around the world look foolish. With no true contenders in sight - or maybe far too many contenders - the relegation battle has been anyone’s guess.

Tottenham had their fair share of time in the bottom three, West Bromwich Albion seem at home there, and Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Sunderland, Stoke, and more have all…

Most people in the UK cannot fall asleep before watching the final airing of Sky News, as they just need their regular dose of football. Tuesday night, however, the entire UK watched as a major development came into effect. This development primarily concerned only one region - the Northeast - but it has the potential to eventually impact the entire nation.

“Shearer accepts Newcastle position” - such were the headlines in this morning’s newspapers, summarizing Sky News’ ground-breaking revelation from last night. As someone who really wants a club as well-supported as…

As Newcastle United gear up to face Manchester City tomorrow, Shay Given has been informed that he will not be playing against his future club. Yes, you read it right, Shay Given is on the verge of wrapping up a deal that brings him to the City of Manchester Stadium.
