The sending off of the Columbus Crew goalkeeper didn't help the cause of the home side. As usual, Cheick Tiote also picked up a yellow card for a wreckless challenge.

Highights of the game, with goals from Nolan, Ameobi, Lovenkrands and Gutierrez for Newcastle United, and a consolation goal for Wolves' Sylvan Ebanks-Blake. Alan Pardew hails Newcastle United's "great day", which will lift the pressure somewhat in the final games of the season. He also singles out Joey Barton and Shola Ameobi for special praise [.

With Newcastle ensuring safety for the season, but incapable of securing European competition, and also with Manchester United finally securing the Premier League title yesterday, there should have been something of a 'dead tubber' feel about this game. It was not to be though. It was Newcastle Gutierrez and Ameobi who kicked off the game, [.

It was probably the first time most Newcastle fans had seen Sammy Ameobi play yesterday. Sammy Ameobi 10 years younger than Shola Sammy just turned 19 on May 1st, and is the younger brother of Shola. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has also lavished praise on young Sammy today, after he played well on his [.

Andy Carroll will be back from Dubai and on Tyneside this week, and will be keen to be fit to play in the Wear-Tyne derby next Sunday afternoon. Andy is suffering with a troublesome thigh injury, and Newcastle will be also hope to have Shola Ameobi back from his ankle injury, although it looks like [.

News today that Alan Pardew has been given the go ahead to scour the free agent market, to bring in a new striker, after Shola Ameobi was injured last night. Jeremie Aliadiere - this former Arsenal striker is available Pardew also lost Xisco on loan to Deportivo la Coruna, and that was just terrible timing, [.

The good news about Ben Arfa this morning has been backed up by more good news about Shola Ameobi, who has returned to training at Newcastle. Shola Ameobi - we need a photo of him in his mask! Shola is now back from Detroit, where he traveled last Thursday to get his individual face mask [...]

It turns out that Shola Ameobi is only 50-50 for t0morrow night's game against Manchester United at St. James' Park. Shola Ameobi - only 50-50 for tomorrow night And if that's the case, Newcastle should probably wrap him in cotton wool ready for the important game at Blackpool next Saturday, where the lads could get [.

According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle United have increased their offer for Lorient Striker Kevin Gameiro to £10 million.

Pardew, with around £30 million to play with clearly sees a striker as one of his top priorities I think we can all agree there. The likes of Ameobi, Lovenkrands and Ranger are not likely to push us into European contention, let alone the top half of the table.

The Newcastle United web-site has just released Newcastle's new third strip for next season. Shola Ameobi with new third strip Not sure what the shorts and socks will be but probably all black I would think. Let us know if you like it or not. Comments are always welcome.

In Joey's mind he's got himself a delightfully hip 'Morrissey' quiff with his latest coif, though to our eye he's actually come out looking more like a cross between a nervy, under-nourished WWI private, K.D Lang and the long-lost third Jedward triplet.

Newcastle looked so much better tonight than they did at Orlando on Saturday, and the lads gave a good display and dominated the Columbus Crew throughout the game, with goals from Shola Ameobi, Fabricio Coloccini and the goal of the game form young Haris Vuckic. The game got under way and the Crew Stadium that [.

Newcastle United ended their tour of the United States with a game against MLS Team Columbus Crew. I had the pleasure of traveling to Columbus this week and was pleased to say that the Toon Army was well represented there were black and white shirts everywhere!

Columbus started off really well and were knocking it around well for the first few minutes of the game.

A Newcastle eleven beat Gateshead 3-1 tonight at the International Stadium. And it was two goals from the impressive Sammy Ameobi that allowed Newcastle to overcome a 1-0 deficit and win the game 3-1. Kyle Nix put Gateshead ahead from a penalty early in the game, but a goal in each half by Sammy Ameobi [.

Alan Pardew craves 'continuity' as Shola Ameobi gets a two year extension to his contract at Newcastle United. 'Evening all, apologies for my absence over the last two days but I've been engaging in a rather offensive activity beginning with 'w'. By which I mean work, lest those with their minds in the gutter start [.

Gabriel Obertan makes his full debut for Newcastle United at Sunderland today, after an impressive second half outing last week against Arsenal. As we had expected, Obertan replaces Demba Ba in the line-up to give some creativity to the strike force, and the 22 year-old starts alongside Shola Ameobi.

We'd be very surprised if Shola Ameobi starts at Villa Park tomorrow. Shola Ameobi when on form he's unplayable One reason for that is we don't think Alan Pardew will play ina 4-4-2 formation like he did at QPR, and he will likely employ five in midfield, to allow Newcastle to have a better chance at getting to grips with Villa, [.

Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea Premier League December 3rd 2011

Chelsea eased a little bit more of the pressure on their wiry manager Andre Villas-Boas after putting three past the Magpies at St James' Park. A revitalised Didier Drogba but the visitors ahead on 38 minutes, heading home from a Juan Mata cross.

Demba Ba looked one terrific striker in the game at Norwich yesterday. Demba Ba - two great goals yesterday The Senegal striker worked well with Shola Ameobi up front, and the Magpies looked good going forward, and that was good because we were very poor in defense yesterday, and conceded four poor goals.

Chelsea launched a great late fightback against Aston Villa and went 3-2 up with two minutes to go, but then threw the game away when Villa scored a stoppage-time equaliser.

Striker Didier Drogba and captain John Terry had scored goals in the last six minutes for Chelsea and Terry's goal looked to have wrapped tup all three points for the champions.

An added-time header from Ciaran Clark rescued a point for Aston Villa in a topsy-turvy 3-3 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Villa, who had lost five of their previous six Premier League matches, appeared to be on their way to a much-needed victory when Emile Heskey rose above Jeffrey Bruma to power in Stewart Downing's cross.

LONDON, England — An injury-time goal from Sunderland's Ghanaian international Asamoah Gyan denied Newcastle home-and-away victories over their northeast rivals as Birmingham and Aston Villa drew in the Premier League on Sunday. Newcastle, seeking to bounce back from their shock FA Cup exit to lowly Stevenage last week, looked to be heading to a 1-0 [.

The one thing about Shola Ameobi that's engrained in my memory from yesterday, is how did the local lad ever miss that open goal after just two minutes? Shola Ameobi in action yesterday It's all woulda coulda shoulda but if Shola had taken that golden opportunity, heaven knows how the game would have [.

There's so much going on at the moment with regards to the new stadium, political spin left, right and centre. Even Pele's talking about it. This afternoon Daniel Levy wrote an open letter on the official site which unless you're blind confirms the boards first choice is moving to Stratford.

An important part of Newcastle's game this afternoon against Spurs, is how our two big front men perform, in the absence of Andy Carroll.

That means that local lad Shola Ameobi and Leon Best will get another chance up front, as Alan Pardew plays an attacking 4-4-2 formations, since Fulham's defense is hardly the best in the league. The two of them will now [.

Alan Pardew couldn't say anything else, but to say the Newcastle side were just not good enough tonight against one of the lower half sides Fulham. Alan Pardew - we did not play well enough And now that Shola Ameobi suffered a suspected fractured cheekbone during the game, Alan admitted the obvious we are very [.

Bad news today, but not unexpected, is that Shola Ameobi will probably be out for months with his fractured cheekbone. Shola Ameobi - out for months The injury is being reported this morning by the Newcastle Journal, to be even worse than first thought. Oh my. Alan Pardew yesterday was hoping it wouldn't have been [.

Time to tame the Toons..

Arsenal travel to Newcastle on Saturday afternoon five points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United after beating Everton 2-1 on Tuesday night. Although the spot light for once won't be on the Gunners when the two teams kick off in Tyneside.
