The half-time whistle

A quick pointer in the direction of The Two Unfortunates, where you'll find some thoughts on the way the first half of the Championship season has panned out. As far as Newcastle Utd are concerned, you might well disagree with the suggestion that our triumphs thus far have been achieved by virtue of "good football", but there's no doubt that the most maligned players of last season are largely those who have been among our best this term.
