His straight red card after just 12 minutes in the 2-2 draw at St James’ Park has no solid evidence after the replays shown that Beye won the ball when challenging City cheating forward Robinho in the penalty area.

Full-back Beye, therefore, chose to question the dismissal and the Football Association has decided to over turn the red card.

From the FA statement, as quoted from Sky, said “At a regulatory commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Newcastle United defender Habib Beye was upheld.”

“As a result, Beye’s one-match suspension has been withdrawn.”

Beye is now free to play on the Wear-Tyne derby at macKem’s land this Saturday. With Beye appearance on the right-back, JFK now has more solid defence to answer the challenge from Roy Keane as he wants to end a dismal ‘FOREVER’ record of more than a quarter of a century without a home win.

United side could have been more stronger this weekend as Joey Barton has pledge his willingness to pay his debt for the support from the club that he received during his dark period as United player.

In an article on the Journal today, he says. “One thing I do know is I am sober. I have not had a drink for 10 months – since December 27. That’s a start.”

Joe Kinnear could name Barton among the substitutes for this Saturday fixture against the macKem, but Michael Owen remains on doubt after failing to recover from his latest groin strain injury during the training last week.

Both United and Martins already agreed in principle earlier, but while Newcastle fighting with relegation the concrete deal was delayed. Oba will have the increase in his weekly wage packet to around £90,000. He also agree to taking out the £13 million buy-out clause.

“Oba has been treated so well by everyone in Newcastle and he is happy and wants to stay. We have been in talks with the club and there are a couple of things to sort out, neither of which will break the deal,” said his agent Chris Nathaniel.

After finishing the deal with Martins, United chairman Chris Mort has vowed to start discuss a new deal with our local lad defender Steven Taylor. He was previously offered a new contract back in September, but Taylor was unimpressed with the deal. Under new manager Kevin Keegan, Taylor having insisted all along his only wish is to stay with the club he supported as a boy.

Another good news also coming from our classy right-back Habib Beye. He’s just arrived last summer from Marseille but recently he has shown his true character and demosntrate his pace when operating as a wing-back under Kevin Keegan. Beye enjoy his new role as much the Geordies love to see more of him so he has spoke of his desire to extend his present deal at Newcastle.

“I want to stay here for a lot of years,” he said as quoted from the Telegraph, “I have two years on my contract and maybe I have to speak with the manager for more years. I love this club and I love the city.”

“When I left Marseilles it was difficult because I played there for four years and everyone liked me. You come here and you don’t know the country and you don’t know the club. But when I came here everyone was friendly and the fans were brilliant. The stadium is incredible and it gives me great pleasure to play there.”

Newcastle’s Abdoulaye Diagne Faye scores for Senegal to gave his team the first half lead but can’t help his team to secure it in the second half. Now they have to face the same destiny as the Nigerian team.

Both country only got 1 point out of the possible six. Nigeria has lost 1-0 to Ivory Coast and draw against Mali.

Senegal will face South Africa on their last game in Group D and need a win to take them to the the quarter finals and hoping Tunisia can tame Angola.

Nigeria will need more than just a win to get through from Group B against Benin, they also hope the Ivory Coast team who only need a draw, will still play for the maximum points against Mali.

Our current team squad have 4 International players from 3 African countries. Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye both come from Senegal, while our new skipper Geremi is from Cameroon. The last one is the prolific Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins.

Geremi, nicknamed Mandela by his fellow team-mates, is experienced in leading the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in numerous African Nations Cup campaigns. His leaderships was honoured him as the new Toon skipper in the correct mindset to be Big Sam’s on-field leader.

Despite his career already seen him take in the delights of La Liga with the Galacticos Real Madrid, Middlesbrough faithful admire him during his one season loan at Teesside. With Chelsea he emerged as one of the popular figures amongst the Blues fans.

Geremi feels that his time on Tyneside was his biggest challenge to date and underlined the importance of the Toon faithful and their magnificent backing.

He told the Chronicle: “I know all about the responsibility of being a Newcastle player. You are carrying the hopes of millions, and if you don’t live up to it you won’t be here too much longer.”

Toon skipper realised that Newcastle United have a big, big fan base, one of the biggest, loyalest and most passionate supporters in the world.

“Listening to them sing your name gives you so much motivation. You want to repay them – so hopefully we can by winning a trophy.” Geremi added more.

The African quartet of Martins, Geremi, Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye will be off around six weeks of Newcastle United season when they link up with their respective countries for the African Nations Cup.

For United No 9 Oba Martins, his task of filling Alan Shearer’s boots and famous shirt was never going to be easy – and in many Geordies’ eyes, the tasks are probably impossible.

At his first season with Newcastle, Martins got things off to a slow start. But he answer the Toon Army doubts with his feet on the ground and netting home 17 goals on his first taste of English Premier League.

This season only two months old, yet five goals to add to his name already indicated he is much more than just a man who Glenn Roeder paid Inter Milan £10m for. Martins also told the Chronicle about helping his fellow African tema-mates to getting used to life in North-East.

“And they are smiling – which means they are settling in. Maybe they won’t say it now, but I think they will all say they want to play here for four or five years.” Said Martins.

Habib Beye already done so, when he feels sorry for the 2-1 lost against Reading last week. And for Abdoulaye Faye, although not mentioning it already, his fellow team-mates feels he is also enjoying his life with Newcastle and his reunion with Sam Allardyce.

“It was a long ball into the box and we didn’t win the second ball, which meant Long was able to get his shot in.” Said Beye.

Newcastle was a goal behind from Kitson long shots, but it was Michael Duberry who gives the visitor an equalizer. But, Newcastle who is failed to create any real chances on their way to attack the home side being left dejected when Shane Long’s late winner saw Steve Coppell’s side take all three points.

Sam Allardyce once again being under critism for what has been said as a negative football. It seems that he is once again intructing his players to sit down and doing the counter attack. This has proven to be his wrong tactical option.

I guess, Big Sam have been put his faith for the United’s four backs too high. I agree with him that we have quality in our back four sides, but no matter how good they are, there’s always an opportunity for our opponent to take advantage for any small chances come their way to produce the goal.

“We’ve lost again and we have to work hard to make sure we make things better for everybody at home to Portsmouth.” Beye added more.

Well, against Portsmouth at home, we have more greater chance to win the game. Portsmouth match will be our six home wins. If then we have lost again, I’m not sure about the future of Sam Allardyce. I hope he will learn from last game at Madejski.
