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.

Newcastle United's game against Kansas City got off to a decent start last night, and was by all accounts a good 45 minutes of football. The second-half though was a bit of a snooze-fest with the Toon only having a Danny Simpson shot at goal for anything worth remembering.

The main talking point though was the injury to Hatem Ben Arfa.
