Howe's international break; assessing Newcastle's season so far 46:40

1h ago46:40

46:40

The September international break is an absurdity; great to see that (after George's comments on a recent PotT) the authorities are doing away with it (definitely related). But, the October break has a different feel. We're almost quarter of the way through the season... the Champions League campaign has started, and Newcastle players are dropping …

34:26

Plenty of intriguing angles going into Newcastle United v Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Both teams played in Europe in midweek, Ange Postecoglu under pressure just three weeks into his new job, and the home attack struggling to spark… …Not that Nick Woltemade’s stats would fit that particular narrative. A penalty saw …

A fools' paradise? Woltemade and the wingers are Union-busters 51:27

6d ago51:27

51:27

Newcastle United haven't scored many goals so far this season, especially away from home, but on Wednesday night they put four past Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise and with relative ease. Nick Woltemade has been the source of some "salty" comments from Bayern-related figures over the last few days, but he opened the scoring with a deft flick…

Matchday PotT: Arsenal (h)... a tale of three headers 30:36

10d ago30:36

30:36

Heartbreak at St James's as Mikel Arteta's Gunners laid siege to Newcastle's wall of giant defenders and were able to break them down twice to take all three points back to North London. Chances were few and far between for the home side but Nick Woltemade did make the most of a corner he had earned and kept up his 100% record of headed-league-goal…

Matchday PotT: Bradford City (h), Carabao Beer!?! 25:23

14d ago25:23

25:23

The Bantams of Bradford came to St James's Park on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for them, Newcastle United are now heavyweights, especially in the Carabao Cup.

Recorded a mere 24 hours after the snore-fest at the Vitality Stadium, with George barely back through the marble portico which fronts Caulkin Manor, we're already moving on to a new week and yet more interesting football challenges.

Matchday PotT: Bournemouth (a) 34:20

17d ago34:20

34:20

Eddie Howe’s record with Newcastle against his old side AFC Bournemouth is, it’s fair to say, not a proud one. Less than 72 hours after an emotionally charged Champions League fixture against Barcelona, the trip to the Vitality Stadium looked a tricky one; especially with the Cherries having won three of their first four Premier League fixtures. In…

Matchday PotT: Wolves (h), Big Nick Energy! 23:16

25d ago23:16

23:16

Newcastle returned to Premier League action, after the ludicrously early September international break, needing to beat bottom-placed Wolves to notch their first win of the season. They would have to do so without two big new signings; young midfielder Jacob Ramsey and £55m centre-forward Yoanne Wissa. Ramsey is out for about a month, while Wissa f…

Relief and regret as Isak saga concludes with transfer deadline 57:43

57:43

The overwhelming emotion, and there have been many, is 'thank heavens that's all over with' but to suggest it's simple relief is to dramatically understate the complicated feelings we're left with. Whatever we think or feel, Alexander Isak is now a Liverpool player, Yoanne Wissa is our new number 9, and we can concentrate on the football with a str…

Alexander Isak finally had his say on his absence from NUFC's first team activities, via a statement on Instagram. Club officials sprang into action with a response. There's little doubt, now, about how Isak feels about his future but without replacement strikers and a suitable bid, it's still difficult to see him getting a move away. All this leav…
