  Sorry United succumb on Tyneside; Newcastle United 3 Manchester United 0 

  

  Following their disappointing defeat at the hands of Blackburn on new years eve, United looked to quickly bounce back with a trip to St James’s Park to face Newcastle United. Having not lost to the Tyneside club since 2001, United were confident of reducing the 3 point gap on league leaders city to merely goal difference, going into the second half of the season. However, with Demba Ba having scored 14 goals already this season, United’s  defensive woes of late would have to subside in order to get a positive result. Rio Ferdinand alleviated some of the pressure by returning to the side along with Wayne Rooney, as Antonio Valencia continued at right back in an auxiliary role. (More …)

  United held to frustrating draw; Manchester United 1 Newcastle United 1 

  

  High fliers Newcastle United were the visitors to Old Trafford as United returned to Premier League action following the dissapointment of the mid week draw against Benfica. With Alan Pardew’s side defying pre season predictions that they might struggle by sitting in the dizzy heights of fourth, United knew they were in for a tough afternoon against one of the in form defences in the league. United were relying on the returning trio of Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Ashley Young to provide the goals which had been lacking of late, despite a good run of form for the reds. (More …)

    Man united,can’t look at these penalty as a scapegoat,we played best football and didn’t have the quality in CMF to do harm to any team in the league at present,no one fear United now.we have the average midfield players amount the top team in the league.Fergie refused to listen to the plea of United Fans,and buy a CM player.this out of resfect.see how Wyane became since the injury to Cleverly,is not Rooney of the first few week of the season.

  Alan Davies – A sad loss to the world of football 

  

  Each year thousands of youngsters hope to get signed up to become a professional footballer and for the small percentage that do make it, it represents the fulfilment of a dream. Playing for a top team like Manchester United, having gone through the youth ranks is the pinnacle for so many people and to do this is such an amazing achievement. Some will go on to have an outstanding career – Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, the Nevilles, Butt, Fletcher, Whiteside, Bobby Charlton and many of the Busby Babes being the prime examples of this- others might only be limited to some odd appearances in League and Cup matches, as part of the manager testing the youngsters out. Recent examples include John Curtis, Michael Clegg, Luke Chadwick, Fraizer Campbell and Chris Eagles. (More …)

    I and the rest of The Faithful team send our thoughts to the family and friends of Dale Roberts, the Rushden & Diamonds goalkeeper who also tragically took his life this week. Gone too soon. RIP

    Good article Dan. Nice to remember him. I remember an evening game when they announced it over the loudspeaker that he’d died. My friend and I were in shock.

    I did see Davies play but I don’t remember him. I was only 6 when we played Juve and I don’t have any recollection of it at all.

  The Geordie Timebomb: Once upon a time in Newcastle….. 

  

  … there was a man with big dreams. He had a dream that the club he (ahem) “loves” would become a footballing dynasty. When he first bought the club, he adorned the stands wearing the black and white shirt with pride, drinking with the fans and promising them everything under the sun.

  But soon enough things started to go wrong. (More …)

    I think the biggest problem here is that Mike Ashley is a huge Newcastle United fan, we know how fickle football fans can be and to be in “control” of a club you love with such fickle Fantasy Football mentality, its always going to end in tears. Mike Ashley ridiculous delusions of grandeur, thinking that his beloved club is way bigger than it actually is. He mistakingly believes Newcastle should and deserve to be the worlds best club. I genuinely feel sorry for Newcastle fans, but more so for Chris Hughton, what on earth did he do wrong?
