Chris Hughton praised the composure shown by Joey Barton at Wolves on Saturday, as we watched the ugly side of a team who don't deserve to be in the Premiership.

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy and Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton had words after the match at Molineux.

Joey Barton received an unhappy welcome return to the Premiership ... with a strong warning that "what goes around - comes around". He was a target, because his reputation goes before him.

Newcastle face a trip to Stamford Bridge in the Carling Cup, but is it as daunting as it seems? Chelsea usually play their reserves in the Carling Cup ... but then again ... so do we.

Confirmation of the starting eleven and substitutes named for this afternoon's fixture away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It's old news that we covered on this website at the time ... but Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has admitted that he tried to sign Andy Carroll.

Jonás Gutiérrez admits he is flattered by Lionel Messi's recent claims that he is as good as Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas.

Jonás Gutiérrez says Andy Carroll has to stay "clever" in the Premiership.

Christ Hughton says he hopes Newcastle's away form is just as important as picking up points at St James' Park.

Chris Hughton is looking for another left-back as cover for Jose Enrique.
