Barcelona crossed with the Chuckle Brothers Every now and again, here at TNS we get asked to answer a few questions by the team we are about to play. On this occasion, Newcastle fanzine True Faith got in touch with the Mudhutter editor Jimmy to ask his opinion about this Saturday’s fixture. From Northern Soul […]
Well would you? On reflection it seems a silly question, we all love football or we wouldn’t be looking at football website and who wouldn’t on the face of it like to get very well paid for training and managing a bunch of footballers. Sounds simple doesn’t it ? But look at the other side […]
…it’s a phrase that I’ve heard a lot over the last few days. With suggestion being that defeat to Bolton, admittedly a damaging and verging on embarrassing defeat, has taken us into some new ground, over some boundary where somehow things are different and it becomes more acceptable to call for the managers head, whatever […]
