Steven Taylor Returns To Full Training Next Tuesday

11:36 am, Thursday, October 11th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 57 Comments

Good news today is that Steven Taylor will resume full training next Tuesday, after giving plenty of time for his thigh injury to fully recover – the one he picked up in the game at reading a few weeks ago.

Steven Taylor - resumes full training next Tuesday

And Steven only just missed returning to the side for the visit of Manchester United last Sunday, but failed a late fitness test so the hope has to be that he’ll be fully ready for our next game at Sunderland.

This is what Steven said on the Newcastle web-site today:

“The main thing for me is being 100% fit for the Sunderland game, and I didn’t want to prepare for that match carrying any little niggles or anything like that.” “The medical staff have been spot on – like they always are – and hopefully taking that little bit of extra time on the injury will enable me to be fit for the game at the Stadium of Light.”

“I’m due back in full training next Tuesday, a full five days before the derby, and until then I’ll keep on top of my fitness and conditioning work while a lot of the lads are away on international duty.” “I’ve been putting in even more 7.30am starts, though I’m used to that following my injury last season. But the good thing is that this time around it’s only a niggle.”

“I’d rather miss one game and be fully fit, because if you play through injuries and carry on you risk missing two, three or four matches.” “I knew there was an international break coming up and that is giving me a bit of extra time to get my body back to normal.”

That’s sensible thinking from the local lad, and hopefully Steven will be lining up alongside captain Fab Coloccini for the Sunderland game, and it’s good that we’re starting to get some of our top players back again from injury.

For the record Steven was born in Greenwich but moved to Tyneside with his Geordie parents when he was just a few weeks old, and has made 215 appearances so far for Newcastle with 13 goals – unlucky for some.

It will good to have him back in the side.

Spelling Police – Eindhoven division at your service. Well, i’m not staying, next stop Stansted (deep joy – just going to look at the last bit of sun i’ll likely see for a few days).

Just wanted to come and ask Jesper what his views on Wonga were as he seems to enjoy discussing it so much. A 10,000 word essay should do it – No f@ck*ng spelling mistakes though

Ibiza…we don’t talk about ‘You Know who’

…today is ‘the Sponsor Who Shall Not Be Named’ free day!

Are we going to the Tyneside or staying in the greater London area?
15 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 11, 2012 at 12:25 PM

Jesper….If you think I’d be seen dead near the city with tied to ‘the sponsor who shall not be named’ then you’re mad. Wait, they’re London based – moral dilemma.

Right, back to Ibiza I go.

Joking aside, London (ish) area, but only 2 days, back over the weekend – thank won……

Take it easy guys.

P.S. Beefman about today or did he tire himself out yesterday? Come on mate, bang away a few red bulls and get back to business.`

@ Ibiza

Maybe its better we are not sponsored by KP nuts after all. I mean I’m sure people with nut allergies would have been devastated
19 jesperfuglsang // Oct 11, 2012 at 12:33 PM

BPC…now a sponsorship from KP Nuts or Greegs would have made sense lol
20 Big Pappa Cissé // Oct 11, 2012 at 12:37 PM

@ jesper

Now there’s a question. Would people rather be sponsored by Greggs or Wonga ?
21 jesperfuglsang // Oct 11, 2012 at 12:39 PM

Big Pappa…We can’t worry about people with out allergies. Once nut currency is worldwide there people will have to go in to hiding and trade on the black markets. Sadly they are going to left behind. I think we’ve missed out on not being able to play at KP Park. Sad times. Right, where to buy some clogs…

Hello Jesper- good to see you haven’t been driven off the blog by:
Na,na,na,na,na,na ,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, na Beefman.
I thought there was nothing more dull and dreary in the football season
than an International break. They just seem to make time drag particularly after a bad result. But I admit I was wrong . Talk about
boring posters into submission. Beefman alone has managed to regurgitate very little into an aweful lot of turgid rubbish. Let me summarise. There is no questionable morality they already sponsor Blackpool and Hearts. Why shouldn’t they? Banks, Casinos and Bookmakers have been shirt sponsors for years- where’s the Beef.
Further dissenting posters are told to live in the real world. Don’t be
so naive and recognise that football is all about money. It doesn’t matter who it comes from.
As I’ve said before he who pays the piper calls the tune. But you can whistle out of tune.
Jesper- away so only dipping in and out – good to see you got your wish on football articles. Keep on keeping on – got to see a man about a dog.
27 Ian Toon // Oct 11, 2012 at 1:14 PM

Ibiza- see your ducking and diving rather than floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. LOL
28 lesh // Oct 11, 2012 at 1:16 PM

Rainrix, do you think the blog police would accept ‘Blunderland’ instead of Sund…. (whoops, nearly got banned from the site)…. you know what?

Of thread but back to the new sponsorship, some wag asked the question whether Wonga might have been better sponsoring Sale Sharks?
29 rainrix // Oct 11, 2012 at 1:24 PM

Lesh.. Anything derogatory is acceptable .
30 martoon // Oct 11, 2012 at 1:34 PM

BPC @20 – As far as I’m concerned it would be a dream scenario a North East firm like Greggs being our sponsor but the healthy diet brigade would winge like h*ll and plus they would probably lose half their business when the pasty stuffing mackems started a boycott
31 jesperfuglsang // Oct 11, 2012 at 1:36 PM

Ian…nice to see you again mate

…well I wouldn’t say a was close to be leaving, but self-imposed exile maybe lol! I think the Red Bull and caffeine were getting the best of Beefman the other day

That said, I really do hope we have finished talking about ‘You Know Who’ or else this is going to be one long International break (and break from the blog for me).

About that dog…I had to see a man about some cafetiere coffee earlier today lol

Good thing for Ryan T and Steven T now is if they are running out of money on sick pay they can always get a wonga pay day loan to tide them over

Vuckic has no luck, I wish him well and a speedy recovery and hope he doesn’t need Wonga too many times.

Jesper.. Its about time as well, I’ve had enough of his tyrannical stranglehold over the blog, although probably not the best idea to discuss our plans on an open forum. We might get spotted
44 catchy in norway // Oct 11, 2012 at 2:22 PM

a little quote from super mac

However, Macdonald is delighted to see a flow of youngsters coming through the system at Newcastle – not least Northern Ireland star Shane Ferguson.

He said: “Finally Newcastle have a player in Shane Ferguson who can cross the ball.

“I would love to see him as a regular in the team.

“Once the strikers start reading what he is going to do he can be a potent weapon for United.”

now who would he drop ???

i think the lad needs to be in the team now playing left midfield, good old fashiond winger

if pardew insists on jonas being in the team the only place for him is right or left back,, remember his position for his country is right back,, but he is no longer any use as a left midfielder
45 wynsleap // Oct 11, 2012 at 2:29 PM

Vuckic and Gosling out for the season.
That’s a great start to the next Summer transfer window.
Two “new players” in the bag already!!!
46 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Oct 11, 2012 at 2:29 PM

bollance – how crap do those Fifa players look?!? Looks like some Fifa 2003 or something. I couldn’t believe how bad they were.
47 davybtoon // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:11 PM

Wynsleap gosling will not get a new deal but no way vukic will b sold best young player we have
48 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:16 PM

Daybtoon

I think wyns is referring to the fact that when players come back from long term injuries the official spin is that they are like “new players”

It is hugely disappointing and unfortunate that we have so many injury concerns, any club that has suffered the same injuries as us would be struggling, I don’t think it has much to do with the transfer policy, we have just been dreadfully unlucky in that regard.

The flip side of that is that come January the onus will (or should) definitely be on bolstering the depth of the squad, and with all these added injuries younger players are going to get much more playing time, so it is sink or swim time for a lot of our younger boys (not saying that if they don’t make immediate impacts that they have no future btw)
49 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:28 PM

The blog is dead….Long live the blog.
50 bollance // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:38 PM

Don’t anyone forget Amalfitano plays a central midfield role too. Looks like the two injuries could push him closer to starting for the cup team.

Disagree about vuckic hes been our most promising youngster for years now and in that time others have come in overtaken him hea been heavily hampered by injuries yes but you can only survive on your hype for so long and unfortunatly for vuckic he’s prob the most injury prone player we have
As MA has shown hes a buisness man, sometimes ruthless in reality how long is he prepared to keep signing paychecks for someone permantly on the treatment table??

Out of curiousity how do gos n vuckic have on there contracts??
52 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:45 PM

Gosling’s contract runs until 2014 and Vuckic’s contract runs until 2016

In that case without sounding harsh i think gos would of been shipped out in jan or summer is gos out for the season only seen a report on harris
55 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:52 PM

Tads

I haven’t read anything concrete as to the length of Gosling’s injury, speculation that he is out for the season as well.

I have always thought that Gosling is more than capable of producing good performances but this latest injury could well put paid to any future at Newcastle United, however, on the flip side of that, if he is injured until the end of the season, with only one year left on his contract, do you see many teams coming in for him? We may have to let him see out his contract and who knows he could yet still spark into life.
56 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:56 PM

We may well do seem to be with danny simpson (hope he signs a new contract) but i seem to remember hearing villa were seriously intrested in him in the summer even though he was injured
57 Wandering Geordie // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:59 PM

@Walton1984 with reference to the name Thunderland that you mentioned earlier about the Clampit’s down the road.The term has connotations that they are Norse zeus godlike.Please refrain using that name and revert to them as ‘Pondlife’
