That was an impressive goal by Ameobi. Not for any tactical brilliance, but for sheer acrobatic skill. He was running full force ahead and played a wildly bouncing ball perfectly into the back of the net.

Wigan's goal was the direct result of ball watching by Carr.

It wasn't a very beautiful game, as Newcastle's defense looked like swiss cheese at times, but it's 3 points, and a damn fine way to start the season.

What a great start, the commentators said that NUFC had only won one of their opening games in the past 8 years. So this is good so far. Butt and Luque need good seasons. If we can get a decent striker that will score at leats 10 goals this season I believe we will be good, our midfield is awesome and can definitely score.

Toon should be very happy to have gained all the points today.

Neither side looked like world beaters. After last week's Charity Shield, this match, featuring two sides from the top half of the table, made me feel a little better about MLS.

Woohoo!


Ex-Ranger Boumsong heads to Juve for 3.3 million pounds????? Rangers made a lot of money off Bum's deal. Did Newcastle make any money off him? I guess they are just happy he is gone. I remember 3 big time gaffs last year made by Boumsoung. I'm sure there were a lot more.

I looked on www.SoccerTV.com, and it does not look like this one is going to be on TV in the US:

Thursday, 24 August 2006
UEFA Cup Qualifying
Newcastle v FK Ventspils

This one will be on Setanta at 6:00 AM PST:

Sunday, 27 August 2006
Barclays Premiership
Aston Villa v Newcastle

I do not have Setanta, and after watching the Galaxy away game down in Hermosa Beach Saturday night, I doubt that I'm getting up early to go to an English pub to watch it.

Here's to hoping for some goals in the group stages!

Martins stretchered off in his first game

Fortunately, it's not that bad. With the weekend's break for International play, he should be back for the next game against Fulham.

Apparantly Newcastle were bidding for Mark Viduka but Boro rejected the offer.

Boro is also gonna pick up ex-Magpie Johnathon Woodgate. Nice to see that your career move to Madrid did wonders for you there, Woody.

And Egyptian international Wael Gomma is on trial for Newcastle. He's listed as a central defender and we could use help there.

When the subject of MLS comes up one of the first things they ask me about is if I've heard of the Riot Squad and they mention that one of them has a LARS shirt, and describes the gask mask guy logo.

Halfway around the world and I can't get away from you guys?!?!"

Rossi loaned to Newcastle until January
Manchester United have loaned Italian youngster Giuseppe Rossi to Newcastle.
The Magpies, stricken by injury to Michael Owen as well as the retirement of Alan Shearer, have borrowed the 19-year-old, who originally hails from New Jersey but has so far chosen to represent the country of his parents.
Newcastle have agreed terms with the Premiership leaders to take Rossi on loan until 1 January 2007.
The Italian striker will link up with the Magpies immediately and, according to Sir Alex Ferguson, will gain some invaluable first team experience.
'It was a big decision for us especially as we don't have the choice of strikers,' admitted the United boss.
'But this is something that Giuseppe wanted as he needs regular first team football.
'When he returns he will be a more experienced player who will be able to offer us much more.'

Doesn't that kid know that Newcastle is the kiss of death for a striker?

He's going to suffer a career ending injury within two months.

It will serve the bastard right for picking Italy over the USA.

But until then, I hope he scores a lot of goals for the toon.

My sentiments are the same. I suppose I could see the logic in all this: Newcastle need a striker, Rossi needs playing time, so it works out.
