JK Rants Spur Magpies

Joe Kinnear infamous rant on the journalist last Thursday is "THE" ultra- thumbs up, in my opinion, and it certainly shows in the squad.

The interim gaffer's rant has taken the pressure off the players and the magpies has been performing one of the best comebacks so far this season.

The newcastle team who went from 2 goals down to draw 2-2 at Goodison Park last Sunday ( a coverage which I failed to cover during the busy time s of a week or so :P ), is a great sign of relieve and character to the squad.

The squad look a bit better by counter attacking and not afraid to move forward.
Even unpopular striker Shola Ameobi had a good day out, showing the glimpse of what he used to be under Glenn Roeder.

It's good now as the international break settles in and although I was quite dissapoint to hear the headlines that Micheal Owen is omitted from the England squad but it is a good sign as he will be fit against Man City without the Toon Army to worry of any injury to come out of the star player.

Joe Kinnear has ceratinly shaped the Magpies and definately I am one that is looking forward to the Monday's game against Man City.

Howay The Lads.

To hear the rant check out below ..... (Parental Advisory is advised)

Magpies Downed Again

Carling cup has been the target of caretaker boss Chris Hughton but as the dark clouds hovering Newcastle Utd ..... it was simply not meant to be.

Reigning champions Spurs defeated the Magpies by 2-1 at St.James Park which capped another disappointing display from the Toon camp.

Only 20 ,000 odd fans turn up (the lowest since the time Osvaldo Ardilles was in-charge) for the game; a game going to a disappointing night for everyone and hopefully to be forgotten in the future.

Two goals from Spurs summer signing Roman Pavlyuchenko killed us and a consolation by Micheal Owen was enough to save the Black and WHites on the night.

To make matters worse, striker Obafemi Martins injured his knee and results has shown that he will be out for at least 6 weeks.

The team looks desperate enough and we hope the board take swift action in appointing an interim manager soon.

Skipper Owen To Lead Players Revolt

Our skipper Micheal Owen has been understood leading a dressing room revolt against the board. This is due to the confusion surrounding Kevin Keegan's position at the club.

The gaffer is a popular figure amongst the players, the dressing room staff and fans.

This confusion has led everyone, including the players, asking questions to what is going on with the club.

Kevin Keegan did not turn up for training at Benton for 3 days now, understandably sorting up his future with the club.

The dressing room is said to be in a gloom and angry mood with the board and we can understand why.

The sooner the board sort out this mess the better.

We don't want to loose players like Owen in the future and he already stated he is happy on Tyneside. We await developments ........

Owen Sparks As Trotters Went Down

Micheal Owen sent a warning to the Premiership by the winner for the Magpies in the 1-0 win against Gary Megson's Bolton Wanderers.

Owen who came on as a substitute in the 53rd minute for the injured Obafemi Martins scored within 19 minutes on the pitch to send a packed St.James Park crowd in ecstasy.

Newcastle Utd has been in terrific form lately with Shay Given saving a Kevin Nolan's penalty earlier on.

The victory will also be a strong signal to the owner, Mike Ashley, on get Owen's contract terms sorted out as soon as possible.

The Magpies have now 4 points out of a possible 6; a great start to their Premiership campaign.

Taylor & Owen Contract Talks Finalized

As you guys know that Kevin Keegan is back in town for the past 2 days or so and things have stat to pick up a bit since his back.

The long and and overdue contract talks of skipper Micheal Owen and Steven Taylor has been finalized by Newcastle though reports is still being undisclosed to what package Newcastle is offering.

This is simply good news as both players have said time and time again that they are committed to the Magpies cause.

I simply things will get even better in the upcoming days and targets for the new summer signing are said to be coming in as early as 1 July (which is next Tuesday :D )

This is going to be ecstatic news as the recruitment board, comprising of Dennis Wise, Tony Jimenez and Jeff Vetere, has been keeping a very low profile on the transfer activities surrounding the club.

Let's wait and see who comes .....
