Three more pre-season friendlies have been revealed by Newcastle United. A behind closed doors friendly against Gateshead on Saturday 9 July (only 10 days time!), Newcastle United then heading off…

Newcastle United begin pre-season on Friday, the players returning to the training ground to kick off preparations for the new season. A tighter schedule due to the Qatar World Cup…

‘Only’ 85 days until the Premier League kicks off, reports this morning of Newcastle United pre-season taking shape.

With 9 days until the fixtures come out and only 54 days until the Championship kicks off….the Newcastle United pre-season is beginning to take some kind of shape.

When I saw the pre-season friendlies the club had set up, I instantly thought that this was simply a confidence building exercise…

Tim Krul says if team start taking the chances they can do really well but added you can’t be too optimistic because ‘you never know in the Premier League’.

This would give us a team looking something like this: Krul: Janmaat, Williamson, Haidara: Colback, Anita, Sissoko, Aarons: de Jong, Perez, Cisse.

Newcastle United acknowledged that they’ve been in talks to go to the USA for the Dallas tournament but are yet to sign off on it.

News breaking in the States, that Newcastle United are heading for a USA pre-season trip, competing in a tournament in Texas in July.

No doubt there will be nobody more relieved than Alan Pardew when he heard the news.

With no signings looking imminent, if Cisse had been ‘Wongad’ out then where exactly we’d be looking for goals would be anybody’s guess
