Ipswich gained some revenge for their 4-0 drubbing at the start of the season by putting a slight dampener on Newcastle’s promotion parade as they held the Magpies to a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park. An injury time strike from Jon Walters denied the 52,181 crowd a victory but they didn’t care as the team proudly showed off their Championship trophy that they...

Newcastle are hoping to complete a season-long unbeaten run when they welcome Roy Keane’s inferior Ipswich side to Tyneside. The outspoken “hard man” has endured a horrible season in charge of the Tractor Boys and only a mini-revival in the second half of the season has seen them secure their Championship status for another season. Whatever happens tomorrow, Newcastle...

Newcastle done what was expected of them last night, and recorded the victory that ensures they win the title and return to the Premier League in style. The win at Home Park also relegates Paul Marriner’s side to League 1 despite them playing reasonably well against the champions, without ever looking like winning. Goals from Andy Carroll and Wayne Routledge were enough...

Tonight is the night Newcastle can finally clinch what has effectively been theirs for months, the Championship title. All they need is a point against a poor Plymouth side who are fighting for their lives at the foot of the table. The Pilgrims are six points adrift of safety and are looking increasingly like a League 1 side, whereas Newcastle are six points clear of...

Newcastle turned in a great performance to see off a spirited challenge from an in-form Reading side tonight. Two goals from Kevin Nolan sealed the win and an own goal from Danny Simpson gave the Royals hope late on. Complacency doesn’t seem to look like setting in on the Magpies in their run-in and their last two performances against tricky opponents has shown the...

Newcastle continue their charge towards the Championship title tomorrow when they travel to the Madejski stadium to play their game in hand over West Brom. If the Geordies win, they will be nine points clear and even stronger favourites to clinch the title. After their crushing victory over Blackpool on Saturday, Chris Hughton’s men are definitely in for a tougher...

Newcastle successfully guarded against complacency by thrashing Ian Holloway’s Blackpool side. Throughout the match, the Seasiders never looked like repeating their 2-1 triumph earlier in the season and the quality of the newly-promoted Geordies proved far too much for Holloway’s men. Goals from Andy Carroll, Kevin Nolan, Jonas Gutierrez and Wayne Routledge put the...

Newcastle’s first game after promotion was confirmed is a tricky test against a Blackpool side who are fighting for a play-off spot. When you look at the names of these two sides, you could be forgiven for thinking that a heavy defeat for the Tangerines was the only likely result. However this season, Ian Holloway has turned the relegation candidates into an outside...

Kevin Nolan struck a wondrous winning goal as Newcastle made the promotion party all the more wild with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United. The Blades struck first thanks to a header from Richard Cresswell but a penalty from Peter Lovenkrands and the spectacular winner from Nolan ensured Newcastle United were promoted in style. Hours before kick-off, St. James’ Park was...

      Tonight’s the night Toon fans have been waiting for since May 24th 2009 when we were relegated from the Premier League. The top flight of English football has missed Newcastle United but if the Geordies get a point against Sheffield United tonight, we will be back where we truly belong. Hughton could have led his side to an instant return to the PL even before...
