Steven Taylor, the former England Under-21 captain, has suffered a suspected broken jaw in a training-ground incident involving Andy Carroll, his Newcastle United team-mate, presenting the club with an unwanted distraction as their promotion campaign enters its final, pivotal stages. Given that Taylor only recently had a brace removed from a knee after suffering a long-term injury in January and is not yet participating in competitive physical activity, a facial fracture can be regarded as an unusual development. Newcastle refused last night to confirm or deny the centre half’s latest setback, let alone the cause of it. However rumours swept around Tyneside that the pair, both of whom were boyhood Newcastle supporters, had been involved in an altercation initiated by an exchange of text messages. It has also been suggested that Carroll has damaged a hand and will not play in tonight’s league match away to Doncaster Rovers. Taylor hurt his knee during Newcastle’s 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion in January and Chris Hughton, the manager, stated yesterday that “it will probably be another two weeks” before the defender can resume full training. It is understood that a meeting, called by the club’s hierarchy, has been held at Newcastle’s training facility at Little Benton, in which players and staff were warned not to discuss the episode publicly while an internal investigation was conducted. Hughton and his first-team squad were in a Yorkshire hotel last night before the match with Doncaster. In a marked contrast to preceding seasons, Newcastle have largely avoided controversy since their relegation from the Barclays Premier League, with Carroll’s scheduled Crown Court appearance next month a rare exception. The 21-year-old is accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm over an incident in the Blu Bambu nightclub, in Newcastle, in December. Any return of the negativity that became a regular feature of their spell in the Premier League would be regarded with dismay by fans, who have watched their team perform admirably on the pitch. They are two points clear of West Brom at the top of the division and ten ahead of third-placed Nottingham Forest. They have a match in hand over both. At his regular pre-match press briefing yesterday, Hughton was asked about the club’s success in avoiding damaging headlines. “The fact we’ve been top for most of the season and the fact we’ve shown enough good things on the pitch has allowed the fans to have more good weeks than bad weeks,” he said. “It gives them optimism about next season that we’re going in the right direction.” Coincidentally Joey Barton, arguably the most contentious player of recent vintage, has returned to the Newcastle squad for their fixture at the Keepmoat Stadium. The 27-year-old midfield player, who has a chequered disciplinary record and has spent time in prison for assault, has not played since September, when he broke a bone in a foot. “What we have always said with Joey is that, when he was fit and available, then we would like him involved,” Hughton said. “Now, whether that sees him get parts of games or games from now until the end of the season, we don’t know. But certainly we would rather have him available than not available.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article7071885.ece

It's still a cuntish thing for Carroll to do. Once a radgie, always a radgie... for your avatar

CH will probably sit them both down, opposite sides of a long table, himself in the middle and start, "Right lads, we're all friends here...' A further test of his managerial ability here, he's probably used to standing in the shadows during these situations as a coach, supporting the managers decision. I'm very keen to see what action (if any) he takes.

aye am havin problems too

I'd love to say I can't believe this has happened, but its NUFC so saying that would be lying.

Caulkin has tweeted that Barton's in the squad.

I've always wanted to text in pretending to be a player/member of staff from a bottom half League 2 club, purely to see if I can trick them and get it read out. Having said that, it must happen all the time

I'd not bother with it if it wasn't for the fact we're guaranteed to be on either first or second every week.

Probably because she's a total b******. probably. Dunno why I continue to persist with this wank programme every week. All I can put it down to is that I like to moan and this provides easy pickings.

why did Lizzy read half an email, then pull a face and say 'don't quite get that one', smile and start reading another. If it didn't make sense, and she bothered doing her job properly, then surely she wouldn't have bothered to read it in the first place?

good stuff if true.

just checked, that was indeed Colo's 5th yellow card today. Is there still a date whereby outstanding cards are wiped off and if so, has this passed? If not, will he be suspended for this or Forest?

didn't realise how high up this lot were in the league. Obviously want 3 points but I think it'll be another draw. Unsure how we'll line up at the back. Couldn't hear the commentary in the pub with regards to what forced Hall off, and am I right in thinking that was Colo's fifth yellow card?
