Tim Krul has dislocated his shoulder and will not return to play for Newcastle this season.

If West Ham United do not exercise their £17m option on the former Newcastle number 9, rumors are that Liverpool are suggesting an Andy Carroll/Hatem Ben Arfa swap. Is this as bad an idea as it sounds on the surface?

On the heels of the limp showing against Manchester City on Saturday, Alan Pardew and his Newcastle United side will be looking to show that it was worth suffering the 4-0 reverse. These are the players who will try to make it so.

The Football Association has decided not to punish Wigan striker Callum McManaman for his tackle on Massadio Haidara that saw the Newcastle defender stretchered off.

Let's be honest... not many players from NUFC are making anybody's Best XI lists this season. How bad has it gotten for our favorite Ivorian?

The way that this season has gone, the expression "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind, and this match was the perfect example. On the heels of a rather bright performance against defending...

Who were you hoping for? Probably not specifically the way it all played out, perhaps. Newcastle will be getting their frequent flyer miles if results fall in a certain direction.

You never really want to see 11 of your 19 goals on the season walk out the door. Is there a move on the cards that could at least make the Toon Army feel slightly better if that does indeed happen?

Injuries and poor form have been ever-present for Newcastle this year, so it's a memo from the Department of Redundancies Department that Hatem Ben Arfa will miss the holiday program.

Through no fault of his own, Newcastle loanee Curtis Good is at the center of an FA Cup controversy with loan club Bradford City.

Surely winning the group would have been preferable, but there was an understandable onus on staying healthy today. With the manager's estimation the big prize on the day, Newcastle's youngsters lost 2-0 at Bordeaux.

It's far from ideal to be trailing at halftime, but an under-strength Newcastle United side are acquitting themselves well in Bordeaux. Although they have dimmed off a bit from their early match form, they may have enough to climb back in the match.

The troubled striker has found his way back into the first team for Newcastle United according to Alan Pardew. Whether or not he can stay there will depend on his form and his ability to stay out of trouble.

The sheer number of young players traveling for the last Europa League match may indicate that Alan Pardew (understandably) will try to rest as many senior players as possible. While that may not be possible in defense, there are options up front.

Because we're clearly not lacking on the defensive end of our squad, it is surprising that two defensive lapses in the last 10 minutes have cost Newcastle dearly yet again. Or it's not surprising.
