‘Liability’, ‘Absolutely hopeless’, ‘Sell him’ – Some NUFC fans slam 27-yr-old’s display vs Villa
Newcastle United crashed to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa in the Premier League yesterday The Magpies will be thoroughly disappointed with their start to the new season after losing 4-2 at home to West Ham United last weekend. Newcastle had an early opportunity to take the lead but Callum Wilson missed a glorious opportunity. It was pretty much downhill for Newcastle thereafter, with Villa dominating the remainder of the contest. Danny Ings scored a spectacular bicycle kick to give Villa the lead and they doubled it courtesy of Anwar El-Glazi’s penalty. A mistake by Jamaal Lascelles handed Villa the opportunity to win the game, crowning what was a disappointing return to action. The 27-year-old was back in the starting line-up after missing out against West Ham and he prod...
Newcastle allegedly plotting shock move to sign 90k-a-week Premier League ace
Newcastle United are keen to sign Everton ace James Rodriguez, according to football journalist Ekrem Konur. The 30-year-old joined the Toffees from Real Madrid in September last year for around £12 million (BBC). However, it seems as though he has no future at Goodison Park. The Colombia international seemingly only joined Everton because of Carlo Ancelotti. And he now wants to leave Goodison (Liverpool Echo). The Magpies could offer Rodriguez an escape route from Merseyside. Newcastle allegedly want to sign Rodriguez from Everton Newcastle chasing Rodriguez?

Predicted Aston Villa XI: Dean Smith to make two changes, 24-year-old to start
Aston Villa face Newcastle United in the Premier League later today and will be looking to pick up their first win of the season at home. Dean Smith’s men were beaten by Watford in their Premier League opener but are favourites to collect three points this weekend. Villa are undoubtedly the better team and should be able to grind out a positive result. They have an outstanding recent home record against today’s opposition, going undefeated in their last five matches in all competitions. However, they will have to iron out their defensive issues following last week’s shambolic performance at Vicarage Road. They conceded three goals against Watford, and Smith will demand a better defensive showing from his players. Villa are likely to make two changes to their starting line-up. Striker Ollie...
Predicted Newcastle XI: Steve Bruce to make two changes, 27-yr-old to start
Newcastle United crashed to a heavy home defeat against West Ham United in their first match of the Premier League season. The Magpies were beaten 4-2 at home and will be keen to bounce back with a positive result against Aston Villa. Newcastle have a mediocre head-to-head record against today’s opposition and must improve immensely to pull off an upset. However, Villa also made a poor start to the Premier League season as they were defeated 3-2 at Watford. Newcastle will fancy their chances of upsetting the odds, particularly if their forwards continue to shine. Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin were in good form against West Ham and will undoubtedly pose a major threat to Villa’s defence. The Magpies must tighten up after shipping four goals last week, and Steve Bruce is expected to ...

‘A joy to watch’ – Some Newcastle fans hail 24-yr-old’s performance despite 4-2 defeat
Newcastle United will be disappointed with their 4-2 defeat against West Ham United yesterday. The Magpies started the game with an early goal from Callum Wilson and despite conceding an equaliser they managed to secure the lead once again through Jacob Murphy. Newcastle were undoubtedly the better team in the first half and they were in control of the game. However, their performance levels dipped considerably in the second half and it would be fair to say that the Magpies threw the game away. Steve Bruce’s side looked vulnerable at the back during the second half of the game and West Ham punished them multiple times on the counter-attack. The only positive from Newcastle’s performance yesterday was the display of Allan Saint-Maximin. Allan Saint-Maximin in the first half for Newcastle vs...

Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Will Hughes from Watford this summer, according to the Daily Mail. The Eagles, who lost 3-0 against Chelsea in the opening day fixture, are showing strong interest in signing Hughes, and they hope to beat Newcastle United in the race. According to The Sun, Newcastle are undecided whether to move for the 26-year-old following the capture of Joe Willock from Arsenal. Palace are looking to use this opportunity to sign Hughes, who has got loads of experience under his belt. If they miss out on Hughes, the club will turn their attention towards Lewis O’Brien, who has also been targeted by Leeds. Hughes, who joined Watford in 2017, has turned down a new contract at Vicarage Road. He has been left out of the first team plans for this season and has been trainin...

The Hammers finished sixth in the table last season and they will be looking to push for European qualification once again this year. David Moyes’ side have had a poor transfer window so far and the fans will be expecting a win to lift the spirits here. The Hammers have a very poor record against Newcastle in the last few meetings and they will be hoping to make amends.

Adam Armstrong has joined Southampton after leaving Championship club Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has provided an instant reaction to the move on Twitter. The English striker was linked with a return to St James’ Park before the Saints completed a move for him, but the Magpies have a 40 percent sell-on agreement and are due a windfall following the deal.
