INCLUDED in Saturday’s match programme was an enlightening article in which Geremi revealed it is his long-held dream to become a detective when he retires from football. Read

THIS was ultimately nothing more than a final chance for Sam Allardyce to have a look at his players before the real action starts at Bolton Wanderers next weekend, but it brought another welcome Newcastle victory and a debut goal for Alan Smith. Read

Carlisle United 1, Newcastle United 1

THERE was little doubt for those who got their first glimpse of Sam Allardyce’s Newcastle United at the weekend that this was the start of something new but they will be hoping a 1-1 draw at League One opposition is not a sign of things to come. Read

Watford 1, Newcastle United 1
