Despite claims over the weekend by the Chronicle that Andy Carroll was set to be offered to Newcastle (again), it doesn’t look like the club will be doing business any time soon, given how much Carroll is likely to cost.
There had been some speculation that West Ham want to cut their losses on the player, who has had a disappointing time in London after the Hammers “rescued” him from his Liverpool disaster, and that a good deal was there to be done for any interested parties. Inevitably, Newcastle were suggested as the most interested of all potentially interested parties – probably nothing more than a case of two plus two equals column inches – as Mark Douglas claimed that the Magpies would be interested in discussing a move.
But as with every deal Newcastle do, affordability is a major obstacle and Carroll would only ever have...

It’s like Groundhog Day in Newcastle. Too few strikers, too few goals and inevitably the answer comes in the papers in the shape of the cumbersome, off-the-pace shape of Andy Carroll. The big Geordie, who left for pastures new in 2011 and came unstuck spectacularly with a giant £35m fee hanging over his head, has once more been linked with a move back home.
Usually it’s a red top that defers to the story ahead of the opening of every transfer window, as the striker flatters to deceive at West Ham and falls further down the pecking order, but this time it’s from someone a little different. Of all of the currently banned North East journalists, Mark Douglas is usually the best, and it is he who says that West Ham are looking to shop Carroll around in January, and that they will offer him to Newcastle.

Newcastle United are good at cliches: last season was a season of two halves, fan attempts to dethrone Mike Ashley were marred by in-fighting and theoretical clashes and the side were almost relegated because of the one thing that no side can do without – goals. It’s no surprise then that the club also flirted outrageously with the old adage of being “too good to be relegated” before slipping with a quiet sob and a deflected own goal out of the Premier League at Aston Villa, much to the glee of the locals. For their part, they rubbed the old Geordie Messiah cliche in our tear-stained faces as we went.
Whether that side truly were truly good remains to be seen – what is obvious is that they weren’t too good to be relegated as the final Premier League table proved otherwise, and Mike Ashley was...

Despite his repeated mantra that ten games is the point at which teams should be judged (he’s said it three times publicly in different seasons), Alan Pardew‘s Newcastle side are showing far too few signs of improvement. When 100% increase in ability and effort leads to a draw snatched away against the run of play (and largely thanks to only one player), something is fundamentally wrong with the whole set-up.
But Pardew endures and Mike Ashley remains frustratingly patient with his under-delivering coach despite seven games coming without a single league win. In truth, only one of the games so far has been a truly difficult one (City on the opening day), and the other six should have yielded more points than the four that have currently been amassed. Still though, Newcastle fans are told to remain patient – or worse castigated for having the audacity...

After reports yesterday that Newcastle could be trying to use very obviously unwanted midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa as a make-weight in a move to sign Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette, there has been further confirmation that the Frenchman is interested in a move to the North East.
And why wouldn’t he be? Alan Pardew has established a petite France in the club, and while that might attract comical jibes from elsewhere in the country – including a far from hilarious “dig” by Jimmy Kebe on Twitter – signing a significant number of players from any country and establishing a culture away from home is key to stability for those players. That is why Liverpool brought Spaniards under Rafa Benitez, why Arsenal went French in the past (and are now apparently shopping German) and why Chelsea are now full of Brazilians.
That culture, as well as Newcastle’s impressive...

Despite French striker Loic Remy heading back to parent club Qpr after an impressive but episodic season on loan at Newcastle United, and strong rumours that he might be on his way to Arsenal, it looks like the Magpies might be back in for him.
Alan Pardew has already expressed his intent to bring the enthusiasm back to the St. James’ Park crowd, particularly by heading into the new season with a stronger squad than ended the 2013/14 season in such underwhelming fashion, and news that Remy is back on the table as an option will go down with the fans.
According to Mark Douglas at the Newcastle Chronicle, the Magpies are currently working on deals for five new signings, having already brought in Ayoze Perez, Jack Colback and Siem De Jong, and are ready to mount a fresh bid for the French striker who...

Exiled to train with Newcastle’s second string and at odds with his manager and team-mates, the future doesn’t look particularly bright for Hatem Ben Arfa at St James’ Park.
After being excluded from the squad for the defeats to Swansea and Arsenal, the Frenchman was the subject of further punishment by Alan Pardew this week after being ordered to join the Magpies’ reserve squad instead of preparing with the senior side for the visit of relegation haunted Cardiff on Saturday.
It’s another clear indication that Ben Arfa’s four-year stay on Tyneside will be terminated in the summer, despite the player himself expressing a wish to stay at the club even if Pardew is still in charge next season in an interview with several national newspapers.
Mark Douglas – chief sports writer at the Journal – labelled the 27-year-old a ’cause célèbre’ for the beleaguered Toon...

On Thursday, February 27, a delegation of YouTube stars and digital influencers visited the White House to have a candid conversation with President Obama about how he and his office can do a better job of communicating with younger Americans by way of online video. As we noted when we broke the news, the goal of the attendees was that this brain trust can advise Obama and all future Potuses on a number of issues - like anti-bullying, education, and economic opportunity - facing many registrations to come, but the first and most pressing of those issues is the Affordable Care Act and the impending March 31, 2014 deadline for Open Enrollment. Obama asked the attendees if they could all let their fans know how to obtain information about health care enrollment with the hope that by doing so, more Americans would at least have a great knowledge of and access to their health care options.
