Taylor could miss 2013/14 season

Newcastle defender Ryan Taylor could miss all of next season with a cruciate knee ligament injury, the club have announced today.

The 28-year-old had only recently returned to training after he injured his knee last August in the Europa League qualification match against Atromitos.

The new injury blow looks set to rule Taylor out for the majority of next season and possibly the entire campaign.

Newcastle horse punch man claims to be 'animal lover'

Barry Rogerson, the man seen punching a police horse during the football violence in Newcastle at the weekend, has insisted he is an animal lover.

I love animals - I've got three dogs, a fish pond out the back and I feed foxes across the road.

– Barry Rogerson, speaking to the Daily Mirror
