game ended in a [.

Cabaye in action for France against Belgium Tuesday night And e news id that the French
International came through the game unscathed and should now be fit to play for Newcastle at

when they entertain Belgium in Paris. So Newcastle fans and Alan Pardew will nervously await the
result of tonight's game, not to learn whether France won or not, but whether Yohan came through
the game uninjured.

The majority of the attention may have been on England's victory over world and European Champions
Spain, but Aaron Ramsey's Wales enjoyed an equally impressive result. Arsenal's Welshman was once
again the side's captain, leading the struggling nation to a stunning victory over Norway in
Cardiff. The 4-1 win was a brilliant result, considering that [.
Still very quiet, as you might imagine.
The main story this morning is the news that football has come under attack from something
called 'common sense'. Robin van Persie has been allowed back to Arsenal to rest up as his
international manager has taken a hugely sensible approach to things.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that Robin Van Persie is suffering from fatigue, and
he has been desperately trying to find games in which the Dutchman can be rested, without much
success it should be added! But with the international break upon us, Wenger pleaded with the Dutch
manager Bert van Marwijk (who [.
This evening's international friendly against Spain at Wembley sees Theo Walcott most probably
starting on the right side of midfield. Daniel Sturridge and Darren Bent look to be the pair of
strikers chosen by England manager Fabio Capello but Walcott will still be wanting their position
instead. It is now common knowledge that the 22 [.

Just three seasons ago, Laurent Koscielny's future was looking nothing more than average in terms
of footballing future, the defender having difficulties getting chances and proving his talent.
However, after a move to centre-back at Tours, his career looked promising once more, and Wenger's
decision to bring him to the Emirates underlines the progression he [.
Mehdi Abeid hasn't had many chances in the Newcastle first team yet. Mehdi Abeid very promising

after next summer's Euro 2012 Championships. Alan Pardew not interested in becoming England manager

Newcastle, and then [.

Some rather strange news this morning that Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington is unable to
get in touch with Newcastle United's impressive defender/winger Shane Ferguson, before tonight's

charge at Leicester City, and he was yesterday asked for his opinion over who should follow Fabio

Newcastle have made such a great start to the season is new number one goalkeeper Tim Krul. Tim
