Venue: St James'Park, NE1. Date: 5th February 2012 Kick Off: 1.30pm Referee: Mark Halsey. Well, it
was another three points in the bag for the Magpies as they passed the supposedly "magical" 40
point mark, with no less than 14 games of the Premiership season to go. Apart from this though, the
most obvious salient [.
It probably hasn't escaped your attention that Northumbria bizzies have been investigating what
have been described as "sickening" racist comments about Newcastle United forward, Shola Ameobi, on
Facebook. This comes after recent similar comments about his younger brother and teammate Sammy
Ameobi on Twitter.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is confident that local striker Shola Ameobi will now be affected at
all, by the racial abuse that he has suffered recently. Alan Pardew with Shola after he signed his
new contract last year It was sad to hear that Shola Ameobi has been racially abused on the
social network, Facebook, much like [.
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 [.
As far as a center-back coming in last month, Alan Pardew decided to keep his powder dry for the
summer transfer window. Peter Lovenkrands deserves a start tonight And we think with all the work
that was done in January, Newcastle will be in a good position to bring in some good players
over the summer, much like the club did last [.
Venue: Amex Stadium, Brighton Date: 28th January 2012 Kick Off: 5.15pm Referee: Lee Probert Quite
simply, this was a game United should not have lost. Even with the cautious tactics employed by
Pardew we were clearly a class above, dominated 75% of the game and had a penalty appeal for a
blatant handball turned down.
Alan Pardew rightly thought his side were not threatening enough in front of goal this
afternoon at Brighton , when Newcastle went out of the FA Cup with a late own goal by Mike
Williamson. Alan Pardew we did not take our chances Pardw felt his side lacked any threat in
front of goal, and he's right about that, because Shola Ameobi and Leon Best didn't look at all
sharp [.
Venue: Craven Cottage, London. Date: Sat 21st Jan, 2011. Kick-Off: 3:00 pm. Referee: Lee Mason
(Lancs). If ever you want to see a textbook example of "a game of two halves", get the DVD of this
game. though personally, it's a video horror show I'll be steering clear of. United went into this
game sitting [.
We've written a few articles recently about the possibility of Newcastle qualifying for the Europa
Cup next season. Alan Pardew keeping his feet firmly on the ground That will be at least one
season earlier than any official plans at St. James' Park, and we are also trying to keep our
feet on the ground and not get too carried [.
Newcastle's two top Senegal strikers, Demba Ba and Papiss Cissee, will be representing their
country tonight in their first game in the African Cup of Nations, when they take on Zambia. Leon
Best after scoring against QPR last Sunday We'll be looking for that score-line and hope that
Senegal can get off to a winning start.
Shola Ameobi will likely start alongside Leon Best at Craven Cottage this afternoon, in a game
that if the Magpies win will see them in 5th place ion the Premier League by tonight. Shola Ameobi
seen 9 managers at Newcastle Shola Ameobi has seen a lot of managers at Newcastle since he burst
onto [.

Newcastle's new number 9 is Papiss Cisse joined Newcastle on Tuesday in a whirlwind deal from
Bundesliga club SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee, but it is thought to be £10M. Papiss Cisse
at St. James' Park on Tuesday Great Newcastle strikers of the past who have worn the number 9 shirt
include Hughie Gallagher, Jackie Milburn, Malcolm MacDonald and Alan Shearer [.
I think it's fair to say that yesterday's win against QPR at Saint James' Park wasn't the prettiest
game to watch, though it was still a very welcome and grinding win. While the Toon faithful may not
like seeing such meagre fare, I feel it's a very satisfying way to collect three very important
points [.
Venue: St James' Park, Toon. Date: Sun 15th Jan 2011. Kick-Off: 1:30 pm. Referee: Chris Foy. United
came to this game on the back of 2 excellent straight wins against Man Utd 3-0 (got that one in
early today!) and Blackburn 2-1 in the FA Cup. In contrast, Queens Park Rangers had taken only one
[...]
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, [...]
Tomorrow afternoon we entertain Blackburn Rovers at St. James' Park in the 3rd round of the FA
Cup, and after the heroics of Wednesday night, anything but a win will be a disappointment for
Newcastle fans. Haris Vuckic - gets another start tomorrow? And it's not like it will be an easy
game against Blackburn tomorrow either, since they [.
Newcastle United are set lose Demba Ba to the Africa Cup of Nations soon, yet it seems the club is
concentrating more on strengthening the team in defence rather than attack. Is this the right
decision? Much was rumoured recently about us not being in for a striker this January after the
Maiga deal fell [.
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 [..
Blackburn burnished a memorable win at Old Trafford last week and today it was Newcastle's turn
to twist the knife into Sir Alex's men at St James Park. David De Gea was gone replaced by Anders
Lindegaard and Wayne Rooney was back £200,000 lighter after his Boxing Day breakout. It did not
make a difference as Newcastle pounded them with power, finesse, and a desire to play attacking
football.
Davide Santon and Shola Ameobi are both starters as Newcastle United entertain Manchester United
tonight at St. James' Park. We expected Davide Santon to start at left back but it's a bit of a
surprise that Shola gets a start, but he must be playing well in training. And would you believe
it, we had [.

interview, Newcastle's manager says "there are certain balls you can't defend against Andy Carroll,
because if the delivery is right and he gets at them in a certain angle there's nothing you can
do.
Newcastle started this season strongly, confounding critics and pundits in the process. When Andy
Carroll left for better pastures with Liverpool, everyone predicted the end of the road for
Newcastle. Alan Pardew had his detractors and now he is actually being considered to be Capello's
successor as England manager.
Bolton Wnaderers 0 2 Newcastle United (Hatem Ben Arfa (69), Demba Ba (71) Newcastle United were in
their all black strip for this game, and enjoyed the backing of 4,000 travelling Geordies who
pretty much took over the ground at least in terms of noise! As a result of the Toon Army being

Demba Ba has been sensational as the Newcastle number 19 striker this season, and if Alan Pardew
can convince the Senegal striker, he'll be wearing the number 9 shirt next season. Demba Ba after
scoring at Stoke City Demba has 13 goals in the Premier League this season and is the joint second
top scorer [.
Demba Ba has been a revelation on Tyneside this season. Demba Ba has been a revelation on
Tyneside And Newcastle will shortly have to do without their number one goalscorer, as the
Senegal International will soon head off to the African Cup of Nations. Alan Pardew was
hoping to keep him at Newcastle until 15th January, and the tournament starts a week later, but
the news [.
As most of you will no doubt be aware, the Africa Cup of Nations will be taking place next month.
This incredibly awkward competition is held bi-annually, unlike the European Championships which
are held every four years. Also unlike the Euros, it is also usually held right in the middle of
the bloody football season!
The Newcastle United lineup to face Swansea City is as follows:
Krul; Simpson, Perch, Coloccini (c), Santon; Obertan, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez; Best, Ba.
There are returns to the Newcastle team for Coloccini and Tiote.
The subs are: Harper, Williamson, Abeid, Vuckic, Ben Arfa, Sammy Ameobi, Shola Ameobi.
Shola Ameobi has been interviews on the Newcastle web-site and he offers no excuses for the
defeat at Norwich on Saturday. Shola Ameobi - no excuses It seems that Shola is back in form and
looked good alongside Demba Ba on Saturday, and of course the Senegal striker is red hot
at the moment, and scored two wonderful opportunist goals to keep Newcastle in the game.
Highlights of our disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Delia Smith's Canaries at Carrow Road.
As usual, I will endeavour to update these when better, longer ones become available. Alan Pardew
went into this game matching his opponents with a two big lads upfront appraoch, forsaking Ben Arfa
for the silky skills of Shola [.
Why Modern Footballers Are Losing It - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Jumpers for Goalposts: How Football Sold Its Soul
by Rob Smyth and Georgina Turner
Published 1st December, £11.99 paperback original, Elliott & Thompson
Jumpers for Goalposts is a fascinating and funny reflection on why football has changed so much
since the inception of the English Premier League in 1992, and why the old descriptions of "the
beautiful game" and "the people's game" no longer fit.
It was obvious from the kick-off last Saturday that Chelsea were attacking sown their right
wing as they had picked out Ryan Taylor as the weak link in Newcastle's defense. Jonas Gutierrez
a big miss last Saturday And Daniel Sturridge gave Taylor a terrible time of it in that first
half, and it's lucky that the 21 year-old England International missed a lot of the chances
he carved out fro himself, and [.
As someone once said: "Defence is just another way to attack." You can just start to imagine (go
on, imagine it) how important our stable defence has been for our attacking play this season. Take
the two central defenders out of the equation and what happens? Well, we may find out next weekend
if Coloccini [.
Yohan Cabaye has started his Newcastle career in great style and he has now played 16 times for
the Magpies and two great goals. Yohan Cabaye - done well at Newcastle The bubble seems to have
bust on Saturday, not because we lost 3-0 to Chelsea not because we have lost Steven Taylor
for the season with a serious Achilles injury ,and Steven's been one of our very best
players.
Shola Ameobi, one of Newcastle's most experienced players, has come out and said something
that is needed this week. Shola Ameobi - lads will still fight Shola, who is a big and positive
influence in the dressing room according to Alan Pardew, has come out today and said the
lads will still be fighting like crazy after only getting a single point out of our last
three games.
Shola Ameobi came on for Ben Arfa in the second half yesterday and almost scored with a terrific
shot which thundered off the post with Petr Cech beaten. Shola Ameobi -- all hands to the pump In
fact Newcastle hit the woodwork three times yesterday, and just like the game at the Etihad Stadium
two [.
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 [.
19 year-old Sammy Ameobi has been given a new five year improved contract at Newcastle. Sammy
Ameobi in action for England U21s last week The now two times capped England U21 International had
a deal that was going to run out next summer, but Newcastle have come in an signed the very
promising player [.
Newcastle United have injury worries ahead of their visit to Eastlands on the weekend, so who will
be fit enough to play on Saturday? There are a couple of ways to look at our next three games
against City, United and Chelsea: either we're in with a chance of some points if we have a [...]
