Anthony Martial May Not Fit, But the Idea Does
Anthony Martial to Newcastle United? I think I will pass. TEAMtalk has reported that the former Manchester United forward has been offered to Newcastle, among others I hasten to add. But the more interesting question might not be whether Newcastle should sign Anthony Martial, as let’s be honest, that is highly unlikely. It is whether […]
Newcastle Makes Major Joelinton Decision After Saudi Arabia Transfer Talks
Newcastle United lost several of its most influential players during a transformative summer, leaving Matthias Jaissle determined to prevent further erosion of the experience remaining in his squad ahead of the transfer deadline on Sept. 1.

Newcastle Are Unbeaten. One Number Says the Defense Still Needs Work
Five points from three games, no defeats, and a spot inside the top half of the table — on the surface, Newcastle’s start to the Jaissle era looks perfectly respectable. Then you look at one specific number: 61. That’s how many shots Newcastle have faced through three Premier League matches, more than any other team […]
Newcastle Chief Reveals Magpies’ True Stance on Bruno Guimaraes Transfer to Arsenal
Newcastle United emerged from one of the most dramatic summers in its recent history with a younger squad, a new head coach and a new recruiting strategy. That said, not every major change unfolded according to plan. Sporting director Ross Wilson has now admitted Bruno Guimaraes’ departure for Arsenal was one development Newcastle did not […]
Three Games In: A Closer Look at Newcastle’s Start to the Season
Five points from three games. Six goals scored. Still unbeaten. If the football gods had offered us this when Bruno was heading out the door, we would probably all have snapped their hand off.

Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth — Player Ratings: Nearly Cherry-picked at St. James’ Park
Strange there was optimism on Tyneside last week, given the hoodoo Bournemouth have over Newcastle United. 0-4-4 in the last eight games against the Bees going in. Yes, all of those with ex-AFCB manager Eddie Howe on the Magpies’ touchline. In fact, Howe only won two against his former team in 13 matches while at […]
Newcastle Keep Finding Ways Not to Lose. That’s Not Quite the Same as Winning
Three games into Matthias Jaissle’s first Premier League season, Newcastle are unbeaten — a draw, a win, and another draw, five points collected without a single defeat. On paper that’s a solid start for a squad that changed as dramatically as this one did over the summer. Look closer at how each of those results […]
PIF Doesn’t Just Want to Fund Newcastle, It Wants Newcastle to Fund Itself
When PIF led the £305 million takeover of Newcastle United in 2021, most attention naturally fell on the extraordinary wealth of the club’s new owners. Five years later, perhaps the more interesting question is not how much money PIF can put into Newcastle, but how much value they can create without having to. Around £300 […]

Former EPL Manager Issues Bold Lewis Miley Take After £100M Sandro Tonali Sale
