So it goes on. Our brilliant season continued at the weekend as we turned Villa over at home for the second time in two seasons having basked in our relegation in 2008. We've developed something of a vendetta against Villa since then, and it feels very sweet to beat them and see them hover in mid-table.

It's been a while since I've penned (typed) one of these - partly due to laziness and partly due to other stuff. But here is another blog to feast your eyes on. The demand to get one of these online has been insane, with over one person asking why I hadn't done a blog for a month. Thanks Steve fan(s).

We certainly got the rub of the green last weekend against the Manchester Redsox - but karma well and truly bit us on the backside this weekend when we played Chelsea.

It was a truly horrifying way to end what was a positive weekend as far as results go for Newcastle United. It doesn't seem right to look back on the Man Utd. game - even though it was full of talking points and incidents. But when you lose "one of your own", a player who never gave less than 100% in a Newcastle shirt in this manner, then football takes something of a back foot.

That's what they say isn't it? It was never going to last forever, even if a few over-excited Geordies felt we might be able to match the famous Arsenal 'Invincibles' of a few years back. However, despite the defeat, we didn't disgrace ourselves. Far from it.

As we await an appearance from Cheryl Baker and Roy Castle to present a trophy to our very own record breakers, I think we should all take some time to stand up and applaud everyone involved with Newcastle United at the moment. Go on...clap.

I'm running out of ways to open this blog - 10 Premier League games down, 6 wins, 4 draws and a big fat 0 in defeats. This isn't Man United we are talking about here, nor is it Chelsea. Spurs? Nope. Liverpool? You're miles off son. This is our very own Newcastle United - and I'm proud as punch of our lads defying the odds again and coming away with the points.

Well it had to come to an end eventually didn't it? I have to admit a hint of cockiness in thinking that our long unbeaten run wouldn't end on Wednesday night against Blackburn. All good things must come to an end though.

Well this is getting silly, isn't it? To save myself some time, I could probably replicate my other blogs from the last 8 weeks. But I know you all love reading this bilge (I hear I have 5 regular readers now (thanks Mum, dad, brother, Colly, Dave and Twiz).

And so it goes on. We are now unbeaten in 13 games. Yes, you read that correctly. It is 13 games since we tasted defeat at Anfield at the beginning on May. Who'd have thought it?
