Championship League Updates

Although still at the top of the Championship League table, Newcastle United haven’t been playing too impressively recently. After losing to Nottingham Forest by 2-1 in their last match and consequently receiving zero points, they are only one point ahead of the team in second place, Brighton. Nottingham Forest has been able to move up to thirteenth place in the table following their victory, which happened to be their third win in a row.

Reading, who are currently placed third in the table, had a very disappointing Saturday as they were beat by Fulham 5-0. This match was probably the most eventful of all of the games played on Saturday, with Danny Williams (Reading) sent off in the first half for apparently kicking Stefan Johansen in the chest.

Reading manager Jaap Stam had this to say:

“We gave them too much space and time on the ball, we made wrong decisions on the ball and they finished us. It wasn’t a red card. Danny Williams had the ball and wanted to pass or kick it off the pitch. He fell over and the Fulham player fell on top of him and I don’t think Danny kicked him in the chest.”

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
