Stu Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 random factoid from .com The Magpies will attempt to win successive home games for the first time this season, while also looking to end a run of three consecutive losses at SJP in their season -closing top-flight fixture (Fulham 0-1 in 2008/09, Chelsea 0-2 in 2007/08 and Blackburn Rovers 0-2 in 2006/07). We've won six games at home in the league this season and were in the lead at half time on each occasion. If Newcastle are to win though, they'll have to achieve something they're yet to manage in eleven top flight attempts, namely winning without Kevin Nolan. Since the midfielder arrived at SJP from Bolton in January 2009, he's missed eleven PL games due to either injury or suspension. We've drawn six and lost the other five. (It should be said that United won both Championship matches that Nolan sat out - away at Coventry & QPR). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Newcastle-news-Kevin-Nolan-will-sign-deal-to-keep-Joey-Barton-and-get-Toon-into-Europe-next-season-article738740.html Kevin Nolan: I'll sign deal to keep Joey Barton and get Toon into Europe Published 22:50 21/05/11 By Brian McNally Inspirational skipper Kevin Nolan believes he can steer the Newcastle revival bandwagon into Europe next season with the aid of his Scouse sidekick Joey Barton. Victory over West Bromwich Albion at St James’ Park today could well propel the Magpies to a top 10 Premier League finish and Nolan insists the Europa League must be their minimum target next term. Nolan and Barton are both locked in contract talks with the club’s top brass – and the indications are positive the close friends are moving closer to signing new deals. Barton, who stalled on penning a new deal in January after the £35million sale of Andy Carroll, insists he will now sign if Nolan accepts an improved offer. Nolan said: “I’d like us to keep Joey. He’s a big player for us and he’s come out on record saying he wants to stay. He said he will sign if I do. “We all want Joey to stay. We want to keep this squad together. That is key – along with adding to it. We can’t afford to lose any other big players, to be honest.” And Nolan – Newcastle’s top scorer with 12 goals this season – is adamant he wants to finish his career on Tyneside after helping lift the Toon from the despair of relegation in 2009 to a runaway Championship title a year later and a solid Premier League finish this term. Nolan added: “The Europa League is the minimum that this club should be aiming for. We should be in the elite. “Playing my part in the Newcastle revival has made me proud. Two years ago I finished the season down in the dumps when we went down and I didn’t know where my future was going to be. “But I just didn’t want to go – I wanted to prove myself here as a player. “Over the last two years, I feel like I’ve been able to do that but I don’t want it to stop here. I want it to go on over the next four or five years.” Despite controversial decisions by owner Mike Ashley that saw manager Chris Hughton sacked and star striker Carroll sold, Nolan believes Newcastle are finally getting it right. He explained: “Mike took a lot of stick over the last two years but he’s been fantastic. “He’s got a manager, Alan Pardew, he firmly believes in, who he wants to back. Hopefully now that will be the case in the summer and it’s going to be the springboard to bring in the right players to push us forward.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Even with a 3-0 lead, we still can't win a Premiership game without him Completely forgot about that statistic. Like the rest of the "missing", hardly felt his absence today until things started to fall apart in the second half. I'm still firmly with you on the Nolan bandwagon like, unlike many of these heathens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Should have had him on the bench instead of Smith and had him come on and stand with his crutches near one of their corner flags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not that Guthrie or Barton had particularly bad games in the middle of the park, i think it's pretty clear that we missed his influence today. I certainly don't think the side will have been as half-arsed as it was, had both he and Barton been barking orders from the middle of the pitch.

Guest Heneage Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Nolan's a captain and a leader. When it hits the fan you need someone to step up and calm things down and that's what he does very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
