Filed Under Newcastle | Leave a Comment
Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton will tonight come face-to-face with Manchester City rival Ousmane Dabo.
In a remarkable twist the pair will go head-to-head - in a reserve game - for the first time since their alleged training ground brawl last May that ended Barton’s City career and left Dabo in hospital - and pressing assault charges, says the Mirror.

Filed Under Newcastle | Leave a Comment
Joey Barton has been forced to delay his return from injury by another month.
The 25-year-old is yet to make his competitive debut for the club after fracturing a metatarsal in a pre-season friendly at Carlisle just weeks after his £5.8million move from Manchester City.
Sam Allardyce said: “Joey Barton has got no chance for Everton on Sunday. It will be four or five weeks, or at least three or four reserve games.”

“The England international, who was skipper for the 1-1 draw at Brunton Park, sustained a partial fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot”.

BARTON AND ROZEHNAL DOING WELL
Filed Under Newcastle | Leave a Comment
Newcastle new boys Joey Barton and David Rozehnal are settling in well after their trip to Austria.
The 24-year-old former Manchester City midfielder and the Czech international defender, 27, got to know their Magpies team-mates during a training camp at Stegersbach.
Sam Allardyce’s players are due back to work on Friday after being given a couple of days off following their exertions on the continent with another recruit, Geremi, and triallist Aldo Duscher due to join them.
Allardyce was delighted with the way Barton and Rozehnal fitted in as he sets about establishing a new ethos at St James’ Park.
He said: “Joey and David seemed to fit in very well. I think they are probably two opposites - Joey likes to do a lot of talking and David keeps himself to himself - but they mingled well in the end.
“The lads have helped them settle and that was important. They have taken them into the fold and everyone got on well together.”
Allardyce took a break from the training camp in what proved an unsuccessful bid to clinch a deal for Marseille defender Habib Beye as he continues to re-shape his squad.
However, he is confident he and his staff have got to know the players a little better and started to establish the relationships they will need to bring success to the club.
He told Newcastle’s official website: “The whole staff got to know each other better.
“The players had a bit of fun among themselves and we had a bit of fun with the staff five-a-side, and the lads had a good laugh at us.
“That was good for the morale of the club building up to this season.”
The Magpies begin their pre-season fixtures with the short trip to League One neighbours Hartlepool next Tuesday and entertain Scottish champions Celtic nine days later.
Allardyce will hope to have further new faces on board by then, and one of them could be Deportivo la Coruna midfielder Duscher.
The 28-year-old, who famously fractured then Manchester United midfielder David Beckham’s metatarsal with a rash challenge ahead of the 2002 World Cup finals, has arrived on Tyneside for a trial after his contract with the Spanish club Deportivo expired.
Deportivo are hopeful he will agree a new deal, but Newcastle could tempt a player dubbed “the butcher” by fans with the offer of a chance to play in the Barclays Premier League.
