Faustino Hernan Asprilla Hinestroza, the former Colombian striker, has called time on his soccer career. He will be remembered by many as an undeniably talented soccer star with an unpredictable temper. He is nicknamed 'The Octopus' in his country for his flexible and fluid style. To the people in England and Italy, he is 'Tino', or '2 goal Tino', as his goals usually came in twos.

Asprilla bids farewell from the sport in a farewell game in Medellín. Iván Ramiro Córdoba,‘Pibe’ Valderrama, Harold Lozana, ‘Tren’ Valencia, ‘Chicho’ Serna and the Brazilians Roque Junior, Liz and Aílton graced the field to bid the Colombian legend farewell.

Video Report::Newcastle edged past Middlesborough 3-1

It was a roller coaster of emotions that had left hapless Middlesborough in further relegation troubles. A 3-1 win for Newcastle in this scrappy Tyne-Tees derby crunch.

With only 2 more games to play, Newcastle is likely to stay up if they pick up points against Fulham and Aston Villa. Boro needs to win against Aston Villa and West Ham to have any chance of premiership survival.

Video Report: Liverpool Vs Newcastle 3-0

The humiliating Kop chant directed at Alan Shearer at kick off "You should have stayed on the telly" and "Alan Shearer, football genius." reflected ominous signs for Newcastle United.

It is the sort of results that you expect from a struggling side. Newcastle had been a strong opposition for most of the game but the results had not justified their efforts.

Liverpool won 3-0 with goals by Benayoun (22th minute), Kuyt (28th minute) and Leiva (87th minute).

Relegation looms nearer for Newcastle United who have only 3 more matches to save their skin.

Shearer Training Session With 7500 Fans!

7500 fans turned up for Newcastle's training session at St James' Park yesterday.

Alan Shearer trained with the team and drew the loudest cheer when he bagged a goal in a 5 a side game.

He had lost none of his predatory instincts in front of goal and makes me wonder if he should have been signed as a player manager instead..

“I said to the boys, ‘Where else would you get thousands of fans turning up to watch training when the team is third bottom?’ It’s unique and you have got to appreciate it, and the players loved it. It was a good workout and we all enjoyed it.” - Alan Shearer.

Gunners shopping in the Magpies

The Gunners are preparing an €11 million bid for the Magpies centre-back at the end of the season, a fee that represents a huge mark-up for the Geordies. He was €500k. Can't believe it.

According to a newspaper report from The Daily Mirror, Arsenal are set to raid Premier League rivals Newcastle United for defender Sebastien Bassong at the end of the season.


The 6ft 2in centre-back arrived at St. James’ Park from French Ligue 2 club Metz last summer for the bargain price of €550,000 (£500,000).

If I am Joe Kinnear, this is a no-brainer. If this Sebastien is so brilliant, Newcastle would have done so much better. And not leaking in goals like a strainer..
