Congratulations to our former boss Glenn Roeder, today appointed manager of Norwich.

At Newcastle, Roeder was essentially a decent bloke a bit out of his depth last season, not helped by a bunch of players who either seemed to be out of form or unable to give a toss, and should instead be fondly remembered for doing a sterling job in erasing the nightmare of the Souness reign in guiding us to

Reading 2 - 1 Newcastle Utd

How is it that we could go from defending so stoutly against Spurs to turning in such a dismally uncoordinated display at the Madjeski less than a week later?

Newcastle’s Owen: Shearer my inspiration

Monday, October 8th, 2007

 Newcastle's Michael Owen told The Chronicle that he took inspiration from close pal and Toon legend Alan Shearer to return from surgery in just eight days.

The £17m man only went under the knife last weekend with German surgeon Dr Ulrike Muschaweck performing two groin operations in Munich.

Owen showed no ill-effects after the surgery on both sides of his lower abdominal region as he made a 14-minute cameo appearance against the Toffees to help grab all three points.

Owen spoke to Shearer the night before the game and then came off the bench to play a part in Emre's wonder goal before the Turk returned the compliment and fed Owen to nod home the winner.
