Dan- Cheers mate. :) Looking to save money now for the next few summers. :D

RSm- I agree mate but at the time I am only looking for a decent backup and he was there. He should do well and if not I'll change tactics. :)

Thanks mate. :) Your support is appreciated. :D
 
January is nearly over now and as I played my last game and headed home, I reflected on the up's and down's of the month. We had signed some decent players and won some games in style but we had been knocked out the FA Cup and lost our last game to Arsenal. Here is my report on the first month of 2015!

Newcastle United 3-1 Bristol City (Giuseppe Rossi x3) FA Cup 3rd Round​
It was Giuseppe's last game for the club and he left on a high, sending us storming through to the 4th round of the FA Cup, bagging a hat-trick on the way. It was a testimonial to the good times he had at Newcastle. He scored two poacher's efforts in the first half and a placed penalty in the 2nd to send us through with ease. Nicky Maynard was the man who pulled one back in stoppage time but the Newcastle fans were already celebrating! It was an emotional goodbye for Rossi but we wish him all the best at Juventus.

Rossi scores a wonderful hat-trick in his final game for the Magpies to send them storming through to the next round.

West Ham 0-4 Newcastle United (Robinho, Gignac, Dzagoev, Keirrison)
This was a game to be remembered for the travelling Toon Army fans due to amazing first goals for the club. Dzagoev scored a 25 yard free kick and Robinho scored from a beautiful run from 30 yards out. Keirrison and Gignac also added to their ever impressive goal tallies. Gignac smashed home a typical power driver into the bottom corner and Brazilian Keirrison scored a late penalty to seal the victory in fine style! It was the start of a very good month for all four players and we were to go on from there!

Robinho scored a wonder goal on his Premier League debut to start off an amazing first month for the Magpies.

Newcastle United 3-0 Watford (Keirrison, Dzagoev x2)
Dzagoev scored his 2nd and 3rd goals for Newcastle to keep his amazing month going in spectacular style. Keirrison gave us an early lead, taking the ball from 25 yards out, running and slipping the ball past the 'keeper at an impossibly tight angle! Dzagoev scored in the 1st minute of stoppage time from a header after Ramires whipped in a great corner. He scored again when Keirrison's shot was parried and he pounced with a simple tap-in into an open net! Another big scoring game for Newcastle and Dzagoev seems to fit perfectly at AMR!

Dzagoev is clearly delighted with his month at Newcastle and celebrates scoring a rare header.

Arsenal 4-3 Newcastle United (Gignac x2, Robinho, Bendtner, Nasri x2, Van Persie)
It was an amazing game of football to watch and we did not deserve to win against a simply stunning Arsenal. Gignac is really starting to impress and we can take plenty of positives out of the match. Bendtner gave Arsenal an early lead wit ha powerful header though Gignac was quick to reply, scoring a typical powerful effort into the corner of the net. Just 5 minutes later, Nasri's stunner meant Arsenal took the lead and it would be a while before anything else went in. Gignac scored a header on 58 minutes to equalise but Nasri responded immediately to give Arsenal a 3-2 advantage. Robinho would score a fine 25 yard curling shot on 75 minutes only for Van Persie to break our hearts when he pounced on a Forster mistake late on. We played our part in a thrilling match and we can take a lot away from it!

Gignac reflects on a great game for himself but a disappointing one for Newcastle.

Wolves 4-2 Newcastle United (Robinho x2, Pearce, Ebanks Blake, Milijas, Doyle) FA Cup 4th Round
We crashed out of the FA Cup to end our dreams of winning it again this year. Wolves were simply better and had a 3-0 lead at half time. Robinho scored a quick brace to give us some hope but Doyle ended our dreams with a great header late on. I wasn't playing a full strength side but I was shocked at the manner of which we lost. We must bounce back well against West Brom to end this losing streak.

Robinho was the only man to shine for Newcastle and his 2 goals reflected the game he had.

Newcastle United 5-0 West Brom (Keirrison, Gignac x2, Dzagoev x2)
We were simply amazing today and this summed up how we were playing in the earlier half of the month. West Brom barely touched the ball, let alone had a shot. Keirrison scored his usual early goal and Gignac was quick to add to his tally soon after. It was a while before Dzagoev, whipped in a cross that bounced off the underside of the bar for a ridiculously lucky goal. Gignac was on fire and he made sure he would wrap up his 10th league goal with a powerful strike that smashed the post before thundering it's way into the back of the net. Dzagoev scored a brilliant goal to finish with a 20 yard strike from the edge of the area. When I said bounce back, I could never have imagined the amazing performance we put in today!

Keirrison always seems to score and his goal against West Brom took his tally to 14 Premier League goals with 17 in all competitions.

These are some more good results mate...Keep up the great work ...:)
 
Cheers mate. Nice to see Newcastle getting those wins in. :D
 
Hope they do the same next year in reality... :D
 
Robinho seems to be a good signing. Hopefully he keeps up his form. And unlucky about the FA cup exit :(
 
Cheers mate. Robinho has 5 in 7 so far. Top signing. :D

I am dreadful in the cups. Hoping to win EPL and Champions League though. :)
 
"This was a day to remember for everyone in Newcastle. My time here so far has been so special it is unbelievable. Together, you have seen the team win the Coca Cola Championship, 2 Premier League titles, 1 FA Cup and become Runners Up in the Champions League. But we have done it. Beaten THE SPECIAL ONE! It wasn't hard we were the best by far and we can do anything!"

Loyal Newcastle Manager Chris Hughton after he silenced Mourinho, beating Inter Milan 2-0.

"We are starting to see Newcastle United's threat but not just to the Premier League, to the world. We have seen them do so well under Hughton but he'll tell you it is down to the players. They work as a team and the money Chris has paid for them is starting to pay off and they look like a team worthy of being on top of the world!"

Alan Shearer on Chris Hughton and Newcastle United after the memorable night.

"Hughton Silences the Special One!"

Lol. :P

Updates later. Got a couple of great results though Keirrison is out for the rest of the season. :'(
 
After winning 5-0 against West Brom, I was fairly confident of a good month for us. We had tough fixtures though with Chelsea away and Aston Villa away. Both teams are in contention for 1st place so we knew how vital it would be to take as many points as possible this month. We also had to play a tough First Leg against Mourinho's Inter Milan and a tricky away fixture against a determined Nottingham Forest. I was pleased to win Manager of the Month and win every game we had. Here we go:

Chelsea 0-2 Newcastle United (Robinho, Keirrison)
Yeah, I was amazed too! Many people describe Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as the hardest game any team will play in the year. Fortunately this was not the case today. We didn't even flinch at Chelsea's 'solid' back line and thanks to good finishing from in-form players, we eased past Chelsea, desperate for European Qualification. Robinho continued his fine start in the North East and Keirrison took his goal well. These are the sort of games everyone wants to play and it was almost a pleasure to watch the lads at times. Man of the Match went to Robinho who got an average rating of 7.8.

Nottingham Forest 1-3 Newcastle United (Keirrison, Gignac, Dzagoev, Saivet)
I wasn't expecting to come away from this game with 3 points and you always have doubts in the back of your mind when you know how complacent your team can become at times. However, Forest are having a superb year by their standards and are currently sitting safely in 12th place. There wasn't much that could happen if we lost this one so I was impressed by the attitude that was shown. Keirrison's early goal set us up nicely and Gignac and Dzagoev continued their good run of form with goals on 34 and 37 minutes. We let our concentration slip on the hour mark but we composed ourself well and finished the game deserved winners. Man of the Match went to Forest's Cavalieri who was sublime all match and without him, we could have been in double figures!

Aston Villa 1-2 Newcastle United (Gignac, Keirrison, Zigoni)
At the time we played Villa, they were 4 points behind us in 2nd place and we were knackered from our win over Milan in midweek. The lads knew that it was one of the most important games of the year. I had doubts that this match could be a disaster and Villa never make it easy for the opposition. Fortunately, our form meant we came out on top and most Geordies would have been surprised by this. I certainly was! Gignac took his goal well on 10 minutes. It was powerful but accurate. The sort you don't stop. Keirrison waited until half time to make it 2-0 but we let our concentration slip slightly and an unnecessary challenge from Taylor meant Zigoni scored a fine free-kick on the edge of the area. I was pleased with the manner of the win and I feel we can take a lot out of matches like these. Man of the Match went to Zigoni who terrorised our defence all day.

This is the man who I would give Player of the Month to for February. He now teams up brilliantly with Keirrison and despite having a diabolical start to the year he has caught up and scored 13 goals in 24 Premier League matches. He also has 3 assists to his name and has got 2 Man of the Match awards. He is also impressive in Europe and leads the line with 3 goals in 4 starts. He has turned from a flop to fan favourite in a matter of the months and is set to have a bright future. Without having Rossi at the club seems to be positive too, taking the pressure off for him and he works better with just one strike partner! He has a habit of scoring great goals at the right time. A top player!

As usual, these two have been scoring vital goals however it was a huge blow to Newcastle when Keirrison was ruled out until the end of the season with a torn groin muscle.
