Newcastle United suffered a shock 3-2 defeat at the hands of newly promoted Hull city at home during the weekend. It was not a result that manager Alan Pardew expected especially given that his team was coming into the match on the back of a good run of form.

Newcastle had a horrible transfer window in which they failed to get a number of transfer targets, while also having most of their star names linked with moves to other clubs. Pardew, though, has managed to get past all this and his team have started the season in a good way.

Even though they suffered an opening day shocker against Manchester city by losing 4-0, they have since recovered and have managed to win three on the bounce before losing to Hull. On loan star Loic Remy opened the scoring for Newcastle in the 10th minute. Brady, though, equalised for Hull after 26 minutes, but Remy’s goal just before half-time appeared to have given Pardew’s men just the tonic they needed to perform well in the second half. Hull, though, gave a shock of their own by scoring three minutes into the second half through Ahmed El Mohamady.

Aluko goal in the 76th minute gave the away team the lead in the match for the first time, which they kept until the final whistle.

“It’s about momentum and we’ve thrown it out of the window. We had that momentum and everyone was feeling good with a victory appearing on the cards but that is what the Premier League does, unfortunately; you have to be consistent to get the win you need. This is a place where we need to crank it up all the time and keep the pressure on,” said Pardew after the match. Newcastle’s next league match will be a trip to Goodison Park.

It has been a strange summer at Newcastle United following the arrival of Joe Kinnear as the director of football, which has undermined the authority of manager Alan Pardew.

However, Pardew has said that he will persuade the club as much as possible in order to bring in two more strikers before the end of the transfer window. Newcastle had a spectacular season only recently when they finished in fifth position, but the perils of Europa league football coupled with several injuries meant that they finished in the bottom half of the campaign last season.

There was also the threat of relegation for most of the season last time around and the pressure is on Pardew. He also has to work with the former manager Kinnear around the club as the director of football. Even though the former West Ham United manager may have stated that he has no issues when it comes to working with Kinnear, there seems to be a lot of tension at St James’s Park. Newcastle recently came back after an intense training session in Portugal.

Pardew has said that he will speak to the owner Mike Ashley about the need to bring two strikers. This is especially important given the future of Cisse is also in doubt.
“It is important now that the message we give out is strong and that Joe hopefully secures the strikers that we need. I have, of course, been speaking to people at the club while we were in Portugal (about signings). It is my job to progress it for the fans and that’s what I am going to try to do. I am the spokesman to the board, to Joe and Mike in particular,” said Pardew.

It has been speculated that several key players will be leaving Newcastle in the summer.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he is extremely confident that he will remain as the manager of the club next season after overseeing a very poor campaign. Newcastle were one of the surprising teams of last season as they almost managed to snatch a top four place at the end of the campaign.

However, several stars from last season have heavily underperformed this campaign. This coupled with the loss of players like Demba Ba has meant that Newcastle could only finish 16th in the table.

For long periods of the season, Newcastle were under the threat of relegation. As a result, there is a lot of pressure on manager Pardew especially because he spent a lot of money on several French players during the January transfer window. After the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal on the final day of the season, Pardew said that it has been a very difficult season, but he is hoping that owner Mike Ashley does not consider sacking him. Newcastle have suffered very bad defeats this season, while the loss against Arsenal was the ninth home defeat of this campaign.
The 6-0 defeat against Liverpool and 3-0 defeat against archrivals Sunderland are also sore points of the season for Newcastle.

“I’m pretty confident I’ll be the manager here. I love being the manager. I will be speaking to Mike [Ashley, owner] and Derek [Llambias, managing director] this week to make sure we get a response and a reaction. He can tell me where he’s coming from and we can clear the air about how we want to take it forward. He could turn around and say, ‘sorry Pards, see you later and thanks very much’. He could do that if we don’t make it, he could do that if we make it,” said Pardew.

Newcastle United have found their next star in the form of the midfielder Moussa Sissoko according to the manager Alan Pardew. Newcastle brought in no less than five French players during the January transfer window – a decision that has been criticised by many including the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

However, they have finally started paying dividends after the club has won two matches on the bounce due to the presence of new players like Moussa Sissoko. The midfielder made his home debut for his new team in the match against Chelsea during the weekend. He straightaway enrolled himself into the Newcastle legend by scoring two goals and helping the team to a 3-2 victory.

Pardew has stated that the club has been tracking the player for more than a year now, and they are extremely delighted to get their man. Sissoko has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the past. Sissoko impressed with his power, quality, and pace. Even though he has played only two matches for the club, he is already showing that he is a great player according to Pardew. This is because he came up against great players like Lampard, Juan Mata, and Oscar during the weekend, but he was able to outshine them.

“I don’t want to say too much about him, because his performance speaks for itself and it doesn’t need me to give a sound-bite because he’s going to get enough headlines, but he’s just been like a giant, that’s all I can say, in training and in everything, the way he’s carried himself. He’s a real force of football. It’s only two games in and hopefully we’re saying the same thing in the summer, because those Chelsea players we came up against are top, top players – Oscar, Lampard, Mata,” said the Newcastle manager.

Newcastle United will have to be patient in their search for a replacement for Demba Ba, who recently left for Chelsea in £ 7 million deal.

The Senegalese striker had a £ 7 million release clause in his contract, which led to rumours of a number of clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham being interested in his services. Due to the fact that Chelsea recently allowed Daniel Sturridge to leave the club for £ 12 million, they were left with only Fernando Torres up front. Due to the immediate need for a striker, the club has secured the signing of Demba Ba before anyone else.

The striker has agreed a £ 70,000 a week contract with the European champions. He has signed a 3 1/2 year deal with the London club. He is set to make his debut for the club in the weekend’s match against Southampton. His departure will mean that Newcastle United will have a major headache to replace him up front. This is because Cisse has not been at his best start of the new season. Only the goals from Demba Ba has helped Newcastle stay afloat in the Premier league so far after their impressive place finish last season.

“They’re not imminent, for sure. I’d be surprised if I got a striker over the line before Norwich, if I’m honest. But I’m hoping we take Debuchy, Yohan Cabaye and Steven Taylor there. Whether they all play, I don’t know. It would be nice to have them in and around the team. That’s what happens – one goes, and another comes to the fore. I think it wasn’t unexpected – we all knew it was a possibility – but the fact that it’s done leaves the door open for somebody else,” said Pardew, whose team will face Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup third-round.

The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he is extremely concerned about the recent form of the team in the league.

After impressing mightily in the Premier league last season, Newcastle United are finding it extremely hard to replicate the same form this time around. They finished in the fifth position last season narrowly missing out on the opportunity to play in the Champions League. However, this season, they find themselves closer to the relegation zone after a lot of defeats. They have also been unable to score goals as much as they did last season.

The top scorer from last season Papis Cisse is currently suffering from a crisis after going through the first 11 games of the season with just one deflected goal, whereas he scored 13 goals since arriving at the club in January of last season. Alan Pardew has tried to blame the Europa league by saying that the fixture list has become more congested than last season. Party recently signed an eight-year contract with the club. However, Newcastle have not been at the best since the match against Southampton. Newcastle now find themselves in the 14th position after having not won any match in the month of November.

“Of course I’m worried. We are Newcastle United, we have been resoundingly beaten and I have to try to lift the players. The intensity and energy that Southampton had on the pitch was a problem for us. We were second best. They got amongst us and did a good job, their tails are up and they’ve gained confidence from that victory last week [against QPR],” said the Newcastle manager after the 2-0 defeat against Southampton. They have the right to be concerned about relegation because they are only two points above the relegation zone.

The Premier League is one of the toughest football leagues in the whole world with some of the best teams in the world competing for the same trophy. It is a long season with many games to play before the winner is finally celebrated and just with every competition there are many teams that just can’t seem to find their way to victory often enough to be at the top but they are good enough to stay out of the relegation zone. This limbo can sometimes be as bad as being at the bottom of the table as you often get forgotten about and no one sees you as a real threat when matched up with you.

One team in this position is Newcastle Utd who is currently fifthteenth with only seventeen points to their name. They have had terrible away performances all season long with them not being able to pick up a single win. So a win would be welcomed with open arms, fortunately for Newcastle though their next up coming game is against Queens Park Rangers who are currently in second to last place. Newcastle have a decent squad and should be able to take the win however they have failed to secure many wins this seasons so it would not be much of a surprise if they drew or even lost as anything can happen in football.

Because of this the odds for Newcastle to win are not incredibly high as they have not played well enough to secure the bookies confidence.

So while you wait for Newcastle’s fortunes to turn you can still enjoy yourself. And let’s face it, with one of the biggest and most passionate fan bases in the country it would be good to see Newcastle turn the tables and climb the league!

The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has praised the Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney by saying that he is the difference between Manchester United being a top two club and a top four club. The former Everton striker joined Manchester United back in 2004 for a world record fee of £ 30 million for a teenager.

During this period, he has managed to lift numerous Premier league titles and one Champions League title as well. The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has gone on to suggest that one of the main reasons for Manchester United being hugely successful during his eight years is due to the presence of Wayne Rooney.

The Newcastle United manager has also said that Wayne Rooney is without a doubt his favourite player and also has called him the best England international. Newcastle United will be taking on Manchester United during the weekend hoping to achieve a repeat of the 3-0 score that they achieve the last season. Pardew has said that it will certainly be tough because Sir Alex Ferguson will be aware of this and will make sure that his team are on their toes. Wayne Rooney has recently returned from injury and is expected to start alongside Robin van Persie.

“Is that just against us? Well, it doesn’t surprise me and he’s probably got that record against most teams. He’s a fantastic player, one of my favourites. I love him in terms that he is passionate about the game and the way he plays it with a toughness. He’s England’s best player and I think changes the game for them, he changes Manchester United. He changes them from a top-four team to a top-two team. That is how powerful he is,” said Alan Pardew ahead of the match with Manchester United during the weekend.

The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he is confident that his team can recover from the 2-0 defeat suffered at the hands of Chelsea during the weekend. Chelsea have made a great start to the season after winning the opening three matches.

The arrival of Eden Hazard has transformed the fortunes of the European champions. They are now more attractive to watch and are extremely threatening in front of goal. As a result, the Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew said that he had no complaints about the defeat. He has said that any team would struggle to play against this Chelsea team, which has so many great players.

Chelsea have been one of the two clubs in the transfer window, despite winning the Champions League title last season for the first time in the history. The club has spent close to £ 80 million on several new players. One of the outstanding amongst them has been Eden Hazard, who has created a lot of goals for Chelsea in these three matches. He was once again at his best, as he created a goal for Fernando Torres and also scored a penalty to mark his first goal for the club.

“They have spent £80 million since May. Eden Hazard is a massive player for them and there are others. Anybody who comes here, even Man United and Man City, will be in trouble. They have a lot of great players here. The fixtures we have are tough, Saturday-Thursday-Saturday – I think we’ve done well. I can’t really fault my players. We could have done better on the goals really. But in the second half we showed real guts,” said Alan Pardew, whose side started the season with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham on the opening day of the season.

The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he is certainly not worried about the lack of arrivals at St James’s Park in the summer, though the team are odds on to land old-boy Andy Carroll according to the Liverpool news website.

Newcastle United had an extraordinary season last season when they finished in the fifth position. It looked like they would almost grab the top four spot and consequently the Champions League football. However, they faltered right at the death to finish in the fifth position, which is not bad for a club that was promoted only two seasons ago. They were expected to push on in the summer, but Alan Pardew has had little arrivals to contend with at the club in the summer.

The former West Ham United manager, though, has said that he is not worried about the lack of transfer activity.

Newcastle are showing interest in a number of players, but are struggling to finalise the deals. One of the main players on the eyes of the board is the former striker Andy Carroll, who is available for around £ 20 million. The club, though, are only willing to sign the player on a loan deal, which would then be made permanent. In the meantime, West Ham have agreed a deal to sign Carroll, although the player does not want to move to London.

“Whether we’ll get the guys we want in time for the season, I don’t know. I’m relaxed as these guys did a great job last year and I’d have no problem picking from the group we have now. Obviously I want to strengthen, but patience is the key. I’m out of it now really, I’ve made my selections of who we think will take the team forward,” said the Newcastle United manager. The club has finally relaxing over the position of Demba Ba, whose release clause was not activated within time.
