The Mag Columnists

Since its creation in 1988 the magazine has attracted a collection of the very best writers on Newcastle United, who all just happen to be fans as well. They have wildly different views on what happens at St.James’ Park and the one thing that does unite them – a love of Newcastle United. Occasionally the odd piece from the magazine will appear on the website but overall the vast majority of content you will find here will be unique to the site, original offerings from some of the best black & white writers.

And Smith Must Score

Rangers Mess – NUFC & Ashley Ok?

What’s got 4 legs and more money than Glasgow Rangers? Always start with a joke I say.

If you don’t get it, I will assume it’s nowt to do with the quality and guess that you aren’t fully abreast of the current situation with the Scottish champions.

Newcastle On Target Down Under

Of course a Newcastle shirt is entirely forgiveable, especially today, as Newcastle Jets away kit this season is black and white stripes. This is pretty cute of them, perhaps we should adopt this Newcastle as some kind of holiday home for recuperating, or wayward, squad members.

From The Horse's Mouth

Ex-NUFC Players Up For Glory, Am I Bothered?

This Sunday sees another set of ex-Mags going for cup final glory. No doubt Bellamy and Carroll will score and Jose will get the MoTM award. Will I be bothered?

Demba Ba – Greatest NUFC Striker

Demba Ba is our greatest ever centre forward. I’ve thought this one through and as an active supporter for 35 years I’ve never seen one better.

I can only look at Ba’s qualities and wonder why he’s not Real Madrid’s centre forward.

In The City

NUFC v Brighton – Trelford Mills!

In those days the FA Cup was the ‘real deal’ and getting knocked out was a big disappointment. We had nothing much else to look forward to, being honest.

When Brighton is ever mentioned, two words spring to mind, ‘Trelford Mills’ – Video cheating Evidence!

Magpie Moments

Newcastle United Inc(k) – Shirts Off

What’s the best tattoo you’ve seen at the match – here’s a couple (or more as is the case) I snapped at Villa and Fulham where our lads kindly went topless in sub-zero temperatures, can you do better?

Pearson's World

Coloccini & Williamson – 74 lashes?

Perhaps it is just as well some of our team are not playing in Iran, where an immoral goal celebration may earn a punishment of 74 lashes.

Did United’s capital performance at Craven Cottage deserve corporal punishment?

Percy Street

If Carlsberg bought Newcastle United…

My cobbled together team of the best players I have seen at St James’ Park in my lifetime.

Given, Nattrass, Albert, Coloccini, Enrique, McDermott, Keegan, Gazza, Ginola, Shearer, Beardsley – NUFC’s finest

Sweet Left Foot

NUFC’s Demba Ba and Demba Rodney

Robert Lee, Alan Shearer……Michael Owen…….Albert Luque… were all statements of intent (ok, I didn’t say it always worked out did I?).

Hopefully the arrival of Demba Rodney to partner Demba Ba is a firm response to Sky’s dismissal of our right to challenge the top 6.

The Corner

Pardew – London Calling To The Faraway Towns

Message to Alan Pardew, if England do come calling just remember their treatment of Sir Bobby and Kevin Keegan.

Robson’s record was second only to Sir Alf Ramsey but the press had it in for him from the start.

The Spirit Of '69

NUFC’s Ashley In Bed With Argies

I would scrap the Sir John Hall Stand and rename it after the sheet metal worker’s son as in my eyes he stands alongside Milburn and Robson.

We should have the FA Cup renamed as the ‘Not in my lifetime’ Cup.

The Walking Mag

NUFC – Who Are Our Rivals?

We should be looking at the top level clubs as our rivals; Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and of course bloody Liverpool – hopefully that is the mentality Ashley and Pardew are bringing to the club, it is certainly what the national press are scared about.
