Tony Pulis’ departure from Stoke today makes Alan Pardew now the second longest serving manager in the league. He joined Newcastle in December 2010. This also leaves Brendan Rogers fifth on the list – despite him only joining Liverpool last summer. Mauricio Pochettino has now se... »

Paolo Di Canio really went over the top with his celebrations after Sunderland’s three goals against Newcastle on Sunday. He lept into the air like a wild man after Sessegnon’s opener, then went with the classic Mourinho-esque knee slide after Adam Johnson made it 2-0 and then did a little jig after David Vaughan capped the day off with a cracking strike to make it 3-0. Alan Pardew did... »

Newcastle lost 3-1 to Benfica at the Stadium of Light last night and face a tough task to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals. A highlight of the game was the over reaction of Newcastle’s Steven Taylor to various incidents. In the first GIF he throws his arms in the air in total disbelief at the Benfica equaliser.

Take yourself 10 years or so to this classic moment from a Newcastle and Leicester game. Newcastle winger Laurent Robert smashes the ball into the head of his teammate Olivier Bernard who proceeds to tumble over rather comically. »
Last Sunday’s game between Wigan and Newcastle was a controversial affair. Wigan’s Callum McManaman made a horrendous tackle on Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara and Wigan also had a late winner allowed despite a possible handball. There was also some controversy before the game too as approximately 250 Newcastle fans stormed some amateur football pitches near Wigan’s DW Stadiu... »
Papiss Cisse grabbed a late, late winner against Anzhi Makhachkala to put Newcastle through to the next round of the Europa League. The cross and header were excellent but the most remarkable thing about the goal was Cisse’s celebration as he channeled former Newcastle player Temuri Ketsbaia in kicking the advertising hoardings. In 1998, Ketsbaia scored a late winner against Bolton and proce... »
