Newcastle Utd 1, Middlesbrough 1

GIVEN the hysterical reaction to his return to Newcastle United, you would have believed Kevin Keegan could have waved his hands and parted the North Sea. Conjuring up a sudden upturn in the team’s fortunes on the pitch should have been simple. Read

Arsenal 3, Newcastle United 0

KEVIN Keegan has been expected to launch a Newcastle United revolution – but the Magpies are struggling to man the first barricade, let alone offer any sort of threat to the established order. Read

Newcastle United U-18s 0, Middlesbrough U-18s 0

NEWCASTLE’S improving Academy side remain unbeaten in 2008 after they played out a largely uneventful FA Premier Academy League derby stalemate. Read

Arsenal 3, Newcastle United 0

CONFIDENCE was supposed to be the missing ingredient ‘Special K’ can bring to any football team, but right now Kevin Keegan’s side is woefully deficient in it. Read

Middlesbrough Res 0, Newcastle United Res 5

LOCAL hero Andy Carroll grabbed a hat-trick for the second year in a row on Teesside as Newcastle United reserves ran out easy winners. Read

Nottingham Forest U-18s 1, Newcastle Utd U-18s 1

NEW boy Ben Tozer was hero and villain as Newcastle saw victory against the group leaders snatched away. Read

Newcastle United 0, Bolton Wanderers 0

ECONOMISTS last week predicted that the feel-good factor that accompanied Kevin Keegan’s return to St James’s Park could help reduce sickness levels among the city’s workers. Read

Newcastle United 4, Stoke City 1

WHEN James Milner’s goal struck the back of the net, Mike Ashley leapt about, high-fiving those around him in the directors’ box. This is the kind of fun he had paid £133m to have on the terraces under Sam Allardyce. Read

Manchester Utd 6, Newcastle Utd 0

NEWCASTLE United were like a ship without a captain against Manchester United. Without clear leadership, without proper organisation and without strong direction, they are on the rocks and sinking fast. Read

Newcastle Utd Res 1, Sunderland Res 3

STEPHEN Carr and Anthony Stokes pushed their claims for first-team recalls last night, but it was two-goal Stokes who was celebrating after clinching Sunderland’s first reserve team win at derby rivals Newcastle since the 2002-03 season. Read

Stoke City 0, Newcastle Utd 0

THERE is so often a thin line between success and failure but Newcastle United and Sam Allardyce have the width of Steven Taylor’s backside to thank for their continued involvement in this season’s FA Cup. Read

Newcastle Utd 0, Manchester City 2

A BRAZILIAN hidden in the footballing hinterland that is Ukraine, Elano Blumo was just the sort of gem Sam Allardyce was expected to uncover when he was appointed Newcastle United manager in the summer. Read

Chelsea 2, Newcastle Utd 1

AND on the fifth day of Christmas, Newcastle gave to me, five shots on goal, four yellow cards, three games without a win, two away defeats and a cruel offside goal. Read

Wigan Athletic 1, Newcastle United 0

SEASON of goodwill or not, the patience of Newcastle United’s supporters snapped towards the end of a dreadful performance at the JJB Stadium. At this time of year it can be the little things which most annoy you and for those who had made the trip from Tyneside to Wigan – some in hope, some in expectation – the sight of another repeat tipped them over the edge. Read

Newcastle Utd 2, Derby County 2

DERBY County will almost certainly not be in the Premier League next season but they will leave a nasty wound on Sam Allardyce which will serve as an irritating reminder of Newcastle United’s inconsistency. Read

Sunderland U18s 4, Newcastle Utd U18s 2

SUNDERLAND completed the double over derby rivals Newcastle in a thrilling clash at the Academy of Light yesterday. Read

Newcastle Utd Academy 0, Shrewsbury Town Academy 1

NEWCASTLE’S FA Youth Cup hopes were shattered at the first hurdle when Midland minnows Shrewsbury came, saw and conquered with a shock last-minute goal at St James’s Park last night. Read

Fulham 0, Newcastle United 1

IT was scrappy, disjointed, tight and tedious. It was, for anyone who stumbled across it as a neutral, an ugly and unattractive spectacle with all the appeal of EastEnders’ Pat Butcher wearing nothing more than fishnet stockings. Read

Newcastle Utd 2, Birmingham City 1

FOOTBALL teams pretty much always get what they deserve, just not necessarily when they deserve it. Read

Newcastle Utd 1, Arsenal 1
