Life outside the Prem, now incorporating ‘Newcastlewatch’
Cardiff 0 - 1 Newcastle These geordie buggers keep winning which is no fun at all and they no longer justify a separate blog post.

West Brom 3 - 1 Plymouth Jamie Mackie fired across Scott [...]
Newcastlewatch: Newcastle 1 – 0 Leicester City
Can't we get back to comically bad performances? 'There's only one Chris Hughton' chanted the Newcastle United faithful last night, and so they bloody well should. Hughton has, against all the odds, guided the team to the Championship summit. Newcastle have improbably made it four wins in a row now thanks to a superb strike from Danny Guthrie in [...]
Life outside the Premier League
More highlights from the depths of the English leagues, i.e. The Championship and League One.

Newcastlewatch: Away win at Palace
Crystal Palace 0 - 2 Newcastle Well, this is starting to get boring. The whole point of Newcastlewatch is that they play crap, lose, and are consigned to lower league ignomony for years.

Life outside the Premier League
That's right, lovely people, life really does exist outsides the razzle dazzle of that there Premier League. In fact, I'm thinking of proposing a breakaway League and excluding any Prem teams from joining. We'll see how long it takes UEFA to discount the closeds shop the current top division would become and kick them out of European competitions. [...]
Neil Warnock in ‘angry with ref’ shocker
People's favourite Neil Warnock reacted with fury after the ref in charge of Crystal Palace's match at Bristol City 'failed to notice' Palace open the scoring after 34 minutes. In a bizarre situation, Palace striker Freddie Sears clearly rifled home into the bottom corner, with the ball bouncing straight back out of the net after hitting the rear [...]
Are Newcastle United a joke?
How bad can it get at Newcastle? Personally, I'm way past having any sympathy for the buggers. Soccer Saturday have given a damning verdict, which makes for interesting viewing, especially when you look at how quickly things have gone pear-shaped during the Mike Ashley regime in the opening montage: Soccer Saturday: Are Newcastle United a [...]
