Newcastle United have released their training images from today’s session as the lads return from the winter break. We face Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday.
The images showed that a couple of players have at least returned to training in some capacity. The images can be seen here.
Joelinton’s rib injury must not have been too severe as he was back in full training today. He was forced off in the first half of the FA Cup replay win at Oxford.
He was joined by Yoshinori Muto, who was involved in full training today. Muto suffered a hip injury in the second half of the 1-1 draw at Rochdale in the FA Cup third round.
We were delighted to see Javier Manquillo out on the grass. It doesn’t look like he was involved with his teammates, but he was likely doing some individual drills.
We’ll wait to see if Andy Carroll and Dwight Gayle will be involved later this week. They were reportedly in with a shot for Arsenal, but that’s not looking too promising at the moment.
There’s also Jonjo Shelvey and Emil Krafth, whose injuries are longer term. Though the Chronicle have reported that Bruce thinks Jonjo is touch and go for Arsenal.
It was also great to see young Tom Allan training with the first-team. The 20-year-old has 9 goals in his last 9 games for the U23s.

There’s not a person in their right mind believe that 38/43M was paid for Joelinton.

I’ve said before that I enjoy your input, but if you’re going to put the blog members down as nursery school squabblers, there’s a perfectly shite blog called nufcblog.co.uk that love people that don’t squabble. They post to each other on average about every nine hours which keeps squabbling down to a bare minimum. You’re very welcome to join that bunch of nufc pacifists if you wish!

As I’ve said before I generally enjoy your input but I won’t be forced off the blog by you or anyone else.
Don’t you think it’s a bit grating the same 6 or 7 people having the same arguments day in and day out and turning every subject back to their own little squabbles?

From previous experience of peacefully protesting against the regime.
They took notice of sell the club mike banner in ground,
I also peacefully protested with a couple others outside charnleys,holding up a couple of banners thats all, one being my pensioner protest partner Pattymag, whos been doing this a lot longer than me and been at every protest i have.
They seen a picture of chi and me together holding said banner at food bank.
They go all out to try and find out who you are,
They used photo and there accounts to find out who i was.
They then used said acquired info to get a message to me that the club wanted to sit down and meet.
On the day i was told this i was about to fly out the uk.
They were told this info that i was away for winter.
They were also told i wasnt just one man on a mission, that i was part of The Magpie Group.
So when i got back the police were waiting for me instead.
They also sent police around to Pattymags but not the others.
Lee Charnley and Lee marshall will be able to confirm this.
Protesting works, if it didnt why have they tried to stop Pattymag (who is a lovely older lady just standing up for the club shes loved all her life and me. All our demonstrations have been peaceful and will always be.
10k walked away, more have stayed away.
His reaction to give away 10k free half season tickets.
Southampton match looked empty while watching on a tv in a bar while away.
Tv companies have definitely told ashley to fill SJP.
Its been a crazy season, lets go win the FA cup.

It’s been like this for the last seven years, probably since the smart phone, it’s no good people telling each other to behave. I’m not trying to force anyone of the blog, i love this place. But seriously if you don’t like squabbles give that .co.uk a try for a day or two, it’s absolute footin pants.

I’ve looked at it before and totally agree it’s not very good.
Don’t appreciate being told that I don’t belong, the posters on here are mainly very good, I include yourself in that, and I know there are always going to be differences or even arguments, doesn’t mean I have to like it.

*** JOIN THE ODIOUS POSTERS CLUB ***
Are YOU an odious poster?
The screaming majority on here believe all of the three statements below – and class all disbelievers as ‘ODIOUS’..
Take the 30 second test and heart if you want to join the club.
You are an odious poster if…
You DON’t believe that every takeover is a PR exercise by Ashley and his team to fool supporters into buying season tickets, an excuse for not spending in transfer windows and a deliberate wind up to pi$$ off NUFC fans.
You DON’T believe that Ashley employs shills and PR merchants to post pro-MA stuff on here.
You DON’T applaud and agree with everyone who says the club is ruined, dead on its feet and that supporters who go to matches are meek mild Ashley apologists with their heads up their ar$e..

who are the odiouse 6.

Comment #26At some stage the club will have to realise they’ve dropped a bollock signing Linton as a striker, not Lintons fault some idiot paid up to 40 million and he’s doing his best but he doesn’t look like he’s going to pull up any trees in any position in the EPL

Comment #27I’m a Wallsend lad droppy.
Born at The Green and brought up in Northumberland Street opposite the Town Hall when Wallsend was in Northumberland – that was some address to write.
I still go back sometimes and walk up the back lane, it’s changed a bit with all the bathroom extensions but it still brings back memories of playing ‘doors’ and ‘three pots in’ with a red plastic ball. They were so light you could get some great swerves on them that even Messi couldn’t do with modern balls.
Happy days.

It’s been effective mainly.
Uglier than my ex wife (terrifyingly ugly) but effective.
It’s also still more fun than guessing what each newspaper article about Staveley, DiBello, Saudis, Hearn, and everyone else who’s seen sand before is doing in the takeover/fakeover.

I sincerely hope he does.
There’s a player in there somewhere but he needs help as he’s just not an out and out centre forward.
He hasn’t impressed yet but there are flashes from him for sure, I had him picked as our top scorer before a ball was kicked.
