Newcastle did their bit to try and gain promotion but will have to wait until at least Monday before their promotion party can really get going. Nottingham Forest came from behind to draw at Bristol City and delay the Geordies’ return to the top flight.  If there’s ever such thing as a comfortable 3-2 win then you would argue this was it. It wasn’t a convincing...

Newcastle turned in a fine performance last night to see off Nottingham Forest and put themselves potentially one win away from returning to the top flight of English football. Goals from Shola Ameobi and a maiden strike from Jose Enrique gave the Magpies a much deserved win after a classy performance. The Geordies looked like champions from the start of play, controlling...

Andy Carroll put the weekend’s allegations and accusations behind him last night as he struck the goal which ensured the Magpies are at least to have a play-off place this season. The Geordies didn’t have it all their own way at the Keepmoat stadium and Donny fans can be forgiven for finding themselves a tad hard done by, as they played well and deserved something...

Two goals in four second half minutes earned Newcastle a deserved draw at Ashton Gate this evening. The Robins were 2-0 up at half time thanks to a tap in from Lewin Nyatanga and a screamer from Nicky Maynard but goals from Jonas Gutierrez and Andy Carroll earned the league leaders a point and moved them two points clear of second placed West Brom. The game was lively...

Newcastle continued their quest for promotion with another routine victory over a Scunthorpe side that looked seriously out of place on the SJP pitch. The Iron players stood and watched as Peter Lovenkrands struck his 14th goal of the season and Andy Carroll helped himself to a brace as the Geordies eased their way to victory. Chris Hughton’s men dominated proceedings...

This season’s second Tyne-Tees derby finished with honours even at the surprisingly busy Riverside stadium after Andy Carroll struck a late equaliser to earn his team a deserved point. Boro were a lot better than their 10th place league standing suggests and will think that they should have had all three points. In truth, a point apiece was a fair reflection of the...

Newcastle showed their class yesterday when Barnsley came to town, by hammering the sorry Tykes 6-1 to go eight points clear at the top of the Championship. Two goals each for Peter Lovenkrands and Danny Guthrie and single strikes from Jonas Gutierrez and Kevin Nolan completed the rout against the ten man visitors. For once this season, the Newcastle fans got what they...

Newcastle moved six points clear at the top of the Championship table with a comfortable win over Watford, despite the score line suggesting it was a tight affair. The key to success was starting quickly in both halves, the Geordies scored within 5 minutes of both halves to give the Hornets a tough task of coming back and grabbing something from the game. Chris Hughton’s...

Newcastle moved five points clear at the summit of the Championship yesterday, easing to a 3-0 win over Preston. Lovenkrands, Nolan and Ryan Taylor scored the goals in a routine victory that could, and should, have been more beneficial to the Magpies’ goal difference. The Geordies got off to a perfect start when Lovenkrands crossed into the box, only to slice his attempted...

Newcastle regained their place at the top of the Championship table last night with a comfortable victory over ten man Coventry. Goals from Andy Carroll, Wayne Routledge, Peter Lovenkrands and an injury time strike from Ryan Taylor seen the Magpies restore their three point lead over West Brom. Just like the crushing win over Cardiff, much of Newcastle’s damage was...
