Newcastle star sends out a seven-word message to the fans after 2-2 draw
Newcastle United were held to a 2-2 draw against Southampton in the Premier League yesterday. The home side took the lead through Callum Wilson on the 55th minute but the visitors got back into the contest twenty minutes later. Allan Saint-Maximin seemed like he had won the game with his 91st-minute goal but Southampton were awarded a penalty deep into injury time and James Ward-Prowse dispatched it efficiently to secure a point for the visitors. The Magpies will be bitterly disappointed to have dropped two points right at the end of the game and Saint-Maximin took to Twitter to apologise to the Newcastle fans. The 24-year-old winger tweeted that the players did their best to win the game but it was not to be. We did our best… Im sorry guys — Allan Saint-Maximin (@asaintmaximin) August 28,...
Newcastle linked with 24-yr-old La Liga player, Frenchman keen on PL move
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby. According to Spanish media outlet AS, the 24-year-old is on the chopping block this summer, with Valencia willing to sell him for around €8-10 million. Diakhaby is pushing hard to move to the Premier League, and signing for Newcastle could be hugely appealing. The Magpie desperately need to strengthen their defensive options after shipping six goals in their first two league games this season. They were beaten 4-2 at home by West Ham United on the opening weekend before falling to a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa. Newcastle are operating with a limited transfer budget, and Diakhaby fits the profile of player they generally tend to sign. The defender has the ability to succeed in the Premier League and cou...

Ings scored a remarkable bicycle kick in the first half, and El Ghazi wrapped up the scoring with a penalty after the break. The fans were particularly pleased with John McGinn’s energetic performance in the centre of the park. The Scottish international harassed the Newcastle midfield and defence with his pressing and movement. Mc...

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...
Predicted West Ham XI: Moyes could be without three first team players, 28-yr-old to start vs NUFC
West Ham United travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League later today and the hammers will be looking to begin their season with a morale-boosting away win. 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. West Ham have the quality to grind out an away win today and it remains to be seen who ends up with the three points eventually. Manuel Lanzini, Arthur Masuaku and Angelo Ogbonna are all doubts for the trip to St. James’ Park on Sunday. It will be interesting to ...
‘An absolute steal’, ‘Absolute bargain’ – Some NUFC fans react to reports regarding 21-yr-old target
Newcastle United have agreed a fee in the region of £25 million for Joe Willock. The Magpies have reached an agreement with Arsenal but still need to finalise personal terms with the midfielder. The 21-year-old was on loan at Newcastle last season and made a lasting impression with his performances. Steve Bruce was keen to bring him back to the club permanently, and the fans will be delighted to see that Newcastle have agreed to pay for his services. Willock had an outstanding loan spell at St James’ Park, scoring in seven consecutive matches for the Magpies. The youngster has the potential to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder and has the talent to justify his price tag in the coming years. Newcastle needed to add more creativity and goals to their midfield, and the signin...
Newcastle linked with a summer move for versatile 22-yr-old midfielder
Newcastle United are keen on signing Brazilian midfielder Ederson this summer. According to Globo Esporte, Corinthians are currently waiting for an official bid from the Premier League club. The Brazilian outfit are under financial pressure, which could help Newcastle get the signing across the line in the coming weeks. The Magpies need greater creativity in their midfield, and Ederson could prove to be a wise investment. The 22-year-old bagged two goals and three assists across all competitions last season. He would bring some much-needed physicality to Newcastle’s midfield and would be an upgrade on most of their current options. Ederson can play in multiple positions, and his versatility would be extremely handy for manager Steve Bruce. The Newcastle boss is working with a limited budge...
Newcastle keen on playmaker who impressed in the Championship last season
Newcastle United are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp, as per Daily Mail. The 20-year-old is unlikely to get regular game time at the London club, and a loan move would be ideal for him next season. The Magpies need to add more imagination and craft in the middle of the park, and Skipp could be a superb short term addition. Newcastle loaned Joe Willock from Arsenal last season, and the youngster made a big impression under Steve Bruce. The Magpies will be hoping for a similar impact from Skipp if they sign him. Newcastle are reportedly keen on signing Willock permanently, but a loan deal for Skipp may be viewed as a more cost-effective option. Skipp is highly talented and has a big future ahead of him. He will be hoping to continue his development with first-team f...
