Nature abhors a vacuum, Kickettes. It isn't something we made up as a convenient opening remark for a transfer update post, it's the truth.

Don't believe us? Last week, we told you that Ludovic Obraniak had left Lille for Bordeaux, leaving a massive gap in their pretty player quotient.

It turns out that contract negotiations with some of Newcastle's top players do not seem to be leading to any solutions anytime soon. Fabricio Coloccini contract difficulties? Alan Pardew will hardly want to lose any more of his players since losing Carroll, Nolan, Enrique and Barton in the first nine months he was at [.

A defeat tomorrow is unthinkable but based on how we have been playing and in particular defending, is something we have to think about. It really has turned to this now and I am sure the majority of you have the worry in the back of your minds!
It's a far cry from a couple of seasons ago, even further back to Jose's time here when Chelsea were difficult to beat, workman like throughout and always a threat.

Alan Pardew is trying to get some of his top players signed up on new long term contracts at Newcastle. Coloccini congratulates defensive partner Steven Taylor And it's something Alan was singularly unsuccessful at after he arrived at the club last December, as he wanted to keep Carroll, Nolan, Enrique and Barton, and three of them, the last three, left the club because of contract disputes.

Newcastle have made terrific progress this season so far, and that's even more surprising when you think the Tyneside club has lost Carroll, Nolan, Enrique and Barton this year. John Carver and Alan Pardew supervise training But it says that Alan Pardew seems to be doing all the right things at the moment at Newcastle, and the [.

Jonas signs a new contract with Newcastle United, much to Alan Pardew's relief. It seems that Jonas Gutierrez has managed to see eye to eye with the club in a way that Barton and Nolan couldn't because the club has signed him up for another four years. He's previously expressed an interest in playing in [.

We don't know exactly what's happening at Newcastle right now , but with less than seven hours to go in this summer transfer window, we assume they are working very hard to bring in a new striker. Nolan Roux - is this player good enough? It seems that Papiss Demba Cisse is a no go [...]

It seems that despite a lot of excitement centred around Newcastle United's alleged interest in Nolan Roux, no contact has been made with either his current club or his agent. Whatever you think about some of Joey Barton's previous behaviour and some of it was atrocious it's hard to deny that he was [.

Could it be that Newcastle United are indeed closing in on a 'double swoop' for a left-back and a striker? And will Joey Barton leave or not? Rumours abound that we're close to finalising deals for both Erik Pieters and Nolan Roux, although I think it's always worth waiting to see them at an SJP [...

Who's Looking Good?

Leicester: Having massively overhauled the squad during the summer, signing no less than nine players, including the marquee signings of Kasper Schmeichel, David Nugent, Michael Johnson, Neil Danns and Paul Konchesky should give the Foxes the quality needed to reach the Premiership for the first time since 2002.

Newcastle United have had a trying summer both on and off the pitch but how does that bode for the season ahead? It's a fine old kettle of fish isn't it? This pre-season, that is. We've had some poor results on the pitch and the various missives from people like Nolan, Barton and Enrique have [...]

Liverpool Target Chelsea Striker Sturridge

Liverpool have set their sights on Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge, according to CrunchSports.com . The England U-21 international spent the second half of last season on loan at Bolton and impressed, scoring 8 goals in 12 Premier League appearances.

Bislang ging Schalkes Trainer Ralf Rangnick davon aus, dass er die ungefähr 20 bis 25 Millionen Euro, welche der FC Schalke durch den Verkauf von Nationaltorhüter Manuel Neuer an den FC Bayern München eingenommen hat, zumindest zum größten Teil wieder komplett in neue Spieler investieren kann.

Liverpool face a battle with Sochaux and Lille for striker Nolan Roux.
talkSPORT recently revealed Liverpool were keen on the French forward, with Kenny Dalglish committed to overhauling his squad this summer.
Stade Brest has received enquiries for Roux and the club is planning to cash in on the £7million-rated star - with Liverpool the most keen.

Liverpool is the latest side to be credited with an interest in Brest striker Nolan Roux, according to France Football, and could move for the Frenchman this week.
The 23-year-old has attracted a plethora of suitors following a stellar Ligue 1 campaign in which he scored six goals in 28 appearances for the strugglers.

BREAKING NEWS: Newcastle United sign Yohan Cabaye from Lille on five-year deal - Goal.comFrom the sounds of it, NUFC are preparing a bit of a midfield overhaul with Barton and Nolan's statuses in question, Ben Arfa coming back into the side and Cabaye on the way. I've only seen Cabaye play for Lille sparingly but my sense is that he's Michael Carrick with a little more bite in the tackle.

Washington, D.C. (May 5, 2011) - D.C. United announced today that the club will launch a D.C. United Under-23 team featuring top collegiate players. Coached by D.C. United legend Jaime Moreno, players will play and learn from one of the most accomplished individuals in MLS history. Moreno will be assisted by Academy coaches Judah Cooks and Nolan Sheldon, along with former United U-20 Head Coach Dafydd Evans.

There's no room for sentiment in football. Dalglish, the cold-eyed realist, left Liverpool's £35m Geordie on the bench against his old side, keeping faith with the surprise hat-trick hero.

Here is the list of important players who are either "Out," "Doubtful," or back from either suspension or injury. Out Song, Sagna, and the usual suspects - Arsenal continues to be weakened severely at the back with Clichy the only first choice option in the back six (GK, four defenders, and holding midfielder).

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 [.

Dumb & Dumber!

Greetings my friends who have recovered from the radioactive mutant of a match we played at the weekend. Shake your head clear, brush off any blood, tears and other assorted bodily fluids from your body and gather round me as we dissect (figuratively) the performance and (literally) the villains responsible for it.

A couple of items today:

First, Cesc Fabregas has withdrawn from Spain's midweek international match with a virus. Robin van Persie has withdrawn from Holland's midweek match with the flu, and Gibbs has withdrawn from the England match with an unspecified "minor injury." I hope everyone is okay and they all get lots of rest ahead of next week's league match against Wolves.

Lineups are in:

Newcastle: Starters: Harper, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Simpson, Nolan, Tiote, Gutierrez, Barton, Best, Lovenkrands Bench: Krul, Ferguson, Ranger, Guthrie, Richardson, Perch, Slo

Arsenal: Starters: Wojo, Clichy, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Diaby, Wilshere, Cesc, Theo, Arshavin, Van PersieBench: Almunia, Squillaci, Eboue, Gibbs, Rosicky, Bendtner, Chamakh

No surprises at all in the starting lineup, that's what everyone predicted.

We wanted to hear from the Newcastle captain today, and Kevin's done the right things and come out said the appropriate things. And most importantly it's time for Newcastle to move on without Carroll, who could possibly be out another two months with his thigh injury. Nolan told the Evening Chronicle today: "We're all [.

In a curious quirk of circumstance it transpired that neither I nor my avidly Spurs-supporting chum Ian could earlier this week recall, off the top of our heads, the identity of this weekend's opponents. Such was the importance of last week's game against Man Utd that everything thereafter paled into insignificance, at least temporarily.

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.

Nolan's success, City's second halves and Premier League draws 2 – Not a lot they could have done about it this weekend to be fair, but Liverpool have won two away PL games since December 2009 33 – Shots taken by Raul Meireles before scoring in the Premier League for Liverpool. Before this weekend, he [.

Newcastle came 4 minutes into injury time, looking like they had secured another win against Sunderland , when they were deservedly were ahead 1-0 -through a goal from Nolan, but Gyan equalized in the 4th minute of injury time to save the Sunderland blushes. The game started at a blistering pace, and just like at [.
