Venue: St James'Park, NE1 Date: 5th February 2012 Kick Off: 1.30pm Referee: Mark Halsey I never used to bother much about Aston Villa. They were just one of those "middle of the road" clubs who chug along season after season with reasonable-sized crowds but nothing particular to shout about. I got a bit annoyed at [.

We didn't feel good before last night's win at Blackburn. Fab Coloccini tussles with David Dunn last night And when we wrote we just didn't have a good feeling about the game last night in our match preview, that probably cheered up a of of Newcastle fans. And would you believe it, the lads got a terrific win 2-0, and we were wrong again!

Newcastle now have 39 points after 23 games in the league, and that's just 7 points short of our overall total after 38 games last season, when we finished 12th. Gabriel Obertan after scoring in injury time last night So there's a good likelihood Newcastle can do a lot better this season, and we are on track for 64 points, and that was good [.

This match saw the welcome return of Captain Coloccini, and also the absence of Yohan Cabaye a victim of trial by television and the London FA earlier in the day. Chris Samba was missing from the Blackburn Rovers line-up following the club's failure to release him during the January transfer window clearly fit [.

Newcastle United are up to fifth in the Premier League after they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0, while Arsenal's poor run of form continues as they were held 0-0 at Bolton.

Newcastle took a 12th-minute lead when Blackburn's Scott Dann deflected a 25-yard shot from Ryan Taylor past stranded Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

Newcastle United are up to fifth in the Premier League after they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0, while Arsenal's poor run of form continues as they were held 0-0 at Bolton.

Newcastle are now just three points behind Chelsea and a UEFA Champions League place as the Magpies leapfrog both Liverpool and Arsenal with the win.

Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Newcastle United Premier League 1st February 2012

Despite still being shorn of the services of their two Demba-tastic strikers, Alan Pardew's Newcastle halted their recent decline with a very valuable away victory at Ewood Park.

Highlights of Newcastle United's 0-2 victory at Ewood Park, with the first being an own goal by Blackburn's , with the Magpies' second coming from Gabriel Obertan after he picked up an excellent pass into space by Peter Lovenkrands. I will update these with better / longer ones when they become available, and also add [.

As we had expected, Danny Guthrie returns to Newcastle's starting line-up this afternoon against Queens Park Rangers at St. James' Park. The Shrewsbury-born player will start in central midfield alongside Yohan Cabaye, and comes in for 19 year-old Mehdi Abeid, who drops down to the bench. And Ryan Taylor replaces Gabriel Obertan on the right wing and Hatem Ben Arfa [.

Newcastle United manage Alan Pardew has baffled fans for a lot of the season by not playing Hatem Ben Arfa, but Pardew has now explained his reasoning and how Benny's work on Saturday may just have earned him the free attacking role he craves. Until recently, Alan Pardew has seemed reluctant to start with Hatem [.

A tale of absent friends made this cup tie somewhat less of an occasion than it could otherwise have been. We knew that Demba Ba and Cheick Tiote wouldn't feature in this game, but when Blackburn lined up without Yakubu and Samba that was a bit of a bonus. Also missing was Paul Clement, [...]

19 year-old Frenchman Mehdi Abeid gets a start this afternoon and comes in as a direct replacement for Cheick Tiote. And Ben Arfa comes in as the withdrawn striker to play just behind Leon Best up front, with the two Ameobi bothers both on the bench this afternoon. And Gabriel Obertan makes a surprise return on the [.

Firstly, let me just start by saying Newcastle thoroughly deserved their win and it was a win by United more than a loss by Manchester. They were never allowed to settle on the ball, from the off. Newcastle also took the game to them, showed no fear whatsoever, gave no respect and pressed on with [..

Newcastle's task on Wednesday evening will be a tough one against Manchester United. Tim Krul big game needed from goalkeeper on Wednesday The Red Devils were embarrassed by being beaten at home over the weekend by rock bottom side Blackburn Rovers, and no doubt they will want to put that right at St.

It was chucking it down with rain as the teams took the field at Anfield, with Newcastle United wearing their first choice kit of Puma's version of black and white stripes. Three ex-united players were in the Liverpool team: Bellamy, Enrique, and of course, Andy Carroll. There was also some bloke called Jordan Henderson, who, [.

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United | Premier League match report

Craig Bellamy scored twice against his former club and Andy Carroll hit the bar in the second half, though no one could stop Steven Gerrard stealing the show and the headlines with the last Liverpool goal on his second game back from injury.

Ben Arfa is one of those players Newcastle just love to watch. Ben Arfa scores sublime goal at Bolton And it seems that Newcastle fans have already taken the French international to their hearts, especially after his terrible time over the last year with his double leg fracture, and it's his left leg too the one he uses and [.

We think Grabriel Obertan can become an excellent right winger for Newcastle. Gabriel Obertan at Newcastle Don't forget that when Obertan signed for Manchester United in the summer of 2009 from Bordeaux, when he was just 20, he was hailed as a future great player, and certainly he has lots of skill and pace.

Alan Pardew will again go with the two wingers that started the game against Swansea on Saturday - Gabriel Obertan and Jonas Gutierrez. Which one will get the start tonight? Both players were not at their best on Saturday, but that's one reason to give them another chance tonight, in a game against WBA that we are all hoping Newcastle can win.

Gabriel Obertan was booed off when he was replaced last Saturday in the game against Swansea. Obertan being welcomed by Pardew and LLambias in August That kind of support hardly helps the player, and therefore it doesn't help Newcastle United. We had put out a piece a couple of days ago saying that we should be helping Obertan and [.

A big French filet o' flop at Old Trafford, Gabriel Obertan has yet to set the world alight in Newcastle either. Still, if he never does kickstart his career, he could (possibly) pursue a career as a Gallic Drum et Bass innovator. He definitely has the face for it.

It wasn't good when Newcastle winger Gabriel Obertan was jeered when he was substituted in the second half on Saturday at St. James' Park. Gabriel Obertan in action on Saturday In fact it's never good when Newcastle fans get against any Newcastle player, and it certainly doesn't help the player and it doesn't help the side, so it's generally negative stuff, [.

Reflections on Saturday's game and a look ahead at what might and might not be happening in the January transfer window as far as Newcastle United is concerned. How did we not win that game on Saturday? Swansea have one of the best defences in the league but luck was certainly on their side too, [...

I read in the papers today that Newcastle must stop their slide down the table against Swansea on Saturday, because they have dropped down the table over the last four game, and are now in 7th place. Sammy Ameobi could he get a start on Saturday? If we were told we'd be reading a kind of commentary in December about the lads back in August we would not have believed it, and just to put it in all perspective, Newcastle [.

Gabriel Obertan has come out today and said he is just loving life at Newcastle. Gabriel Obertan makes his 15th appearcne for the Magpies this afternoon Gabriel seems to have tied down a first team spot on the right wing, but the 22 year-old is still imp[roving and we think with more games in a black and white shirt [.

Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Saturday 3rd Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 12.45pm. Referee: Mike Dean. Newcastle made just one change to the side that drew 1-1 at Old Trafford last weekend, with the suspended Jonas Gutierrez replaced by Peter Lovenkrands. For the 13th time this season, Newcastle United were able to field the same defence [.

Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle. Date: Saturday 3rd Dec, 2011. Kick-off: 12.45pm. Referee: Mike Dean. Newcastle United will be looking to maintain their fine home form (undefeated in ten games) and increase the pressure on Chelsea's beleaguered manager, André Villas-Boas in the 12.45 kick off at St James Park, Newcastle on Saturday.

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester. Date: Saturday 26 November, 2011 Kick-off: 3.00pm. Referee: Mike Jones (replaced Phil Dowd). After such a great result was over-shadowed by the deeply sad news of the death of a true Geordie Legend, Gary Speed, I've found it very hard to commit to a match report. It's with a heavy heart [.

Gabriel Obertan returns to the starting line-up for Newcastle United in place of young Sammy Ameobi for this afternoon's game at Old Trafford. The former Manchester United winger has missed the last two games with a toe infection, but is now back in the starting line-up and replaces the 19 year old younger brother of [.

Gabriel Obertan is back in the Newcastle squad for their tough game against Manchester United this afternoon. Gabriel Obertan - could start this afternoon Last Saturday at the Etihad Stadium Sammy Ameobi came in and had a good game on the right wing, and Sammy could keep his place for this afternoon's game.

We'll all learn just a little bit more about our Newcastle side today when the lads take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon. Alan Pardew - wants to do better this week And while we are bracing ourselves a little bit for a possible second successive defeat, Newcastle can still get something out of this game, if they play anywhere near their best form, and Manchester United [.
