This time it was Yohan Cabaye who was the hero, stroking home, with a little help from Nemanja Vidic, a second half winner to seal our first win at Old Trafford since 1972.

The result put us firmly in the running for the top five places and once again showed just how good Cabaye is. We’re now 8/1 with Paddy Power for a top six finish.

Despite winning the French league in 2011, in a Lille team that also boasted the likes of Eden Hazard, Gervinho and our very own Mathieu Debuchy, the little maestro came to us that summer as somewhat of an unknown quantity.

Since then he has become one of the best playmakers in the country, and left many of the United fans wondering why their club hadn’t tried to sign him in their quest sort out their midfield problems.

With him in the side the Magpies often look brilliant, playing our traditional brand of attacking football and with the competitive nature of the season so far, we could end up being in with a shout of sneaking into the European places like we did two years ago.

However, a potential move away from St James’ could scupper that straightaway, especially with him recently hinting that he would consider a move back to his homeland with PSG, speculation that set the transfer betting on fire.

We all saw how distracted he was by the speculation linking him with Arsenal in August, effectively going on strike and you feel as if the same situation could arise on January, while the fact he hasn’t played in Europe this season will make him even more attractive to potential suitors.

We all know how important he is to our side and if Alan Pardew can keep him happy, he could well be the man who guides us back to a surprise European finish.

At the start of the game, we were the brilliant side and took the lead in just 2 minutes of play with Remy converted the goal from Cabaye’s corner. You can just imagine how happy the fans were – both the ones cheering on at the stadium and the ones who supported the team online on sites like https://byindia.com/.

Since that quick goal, we keep the heavy pressure under the Canaries shoulders and push them to defend, although they also have a couple of situation where we’re a bit lack of concentration in the back, thanks to our extra defender in Shola to clear the ball out when Krul seems out of position to secure the bouncing ball for the page of codes.

In search for a third successive wins in a row this season, with the help of old Shola Ameobi who are once again proven as the better target man than Cisse, Newcastle doubled the lead in the first half through his neat flick-on ball to put Gouffran clears to tap the easy ball in.

With another half-chances going wasted through Sissoko and Remy, Newcastle hang on the lead until the end of first half.

In the second half, surprisingly we are sitting deeper, and let the visitors to come on to us. I don’t like it when we are playing on the counter attacking style against a team like Norwich City.

It’s just not seems right to defending a 2-0 lead at home by playing like that, I would prefer to see more attacking approach just like what we did in the first half.

That way, we give them four corners in a row that resulting one goal back for them, it’s just silly, then starting to attack them again really not a clever decision. The fans will demand more positive approach from the lads in our next home fixture against Brom, where we should have win that game too.

Fletcher’s goal early in the first half was probably the sign of what coming up next or to decide the way of the game, but Newcastle regained the more possessions and attempts in the first half, but sad to say all of the works are none of them causing any serious damage to the mackems defense.

I noticed some players that were down below par, Yoan Gouffran in particularly has nothing to do in the first half while Ben Arfa seems to a little bit confusing of wheter he will take the ball up or pass it to his team mates.

Our front man looks lonely up there, Remy is look like an average player with not much support from our midfield men and both wings.

In defense, without Coloccini, we are really vurnerable with Dummet in as his replacement was far from our skipper’s experience, as shown in the process of Fletcher’s first goal.

In the second half, there’s a little hope when Debuchy marks his first goal for Newcastle to make it 1-1, but imho, the replacement of Gouffran with Cisse was not Pardew’s good move, he should have added in the mackem’s slayer earlier instead of Cisse.

It proves that Newcastle’s worst ever number 9 for the last two seasons is still not having back what he was at the first time we signed him.

At last and to be honest, I must give credits to the mackems for their efforts today and they deserved the win because we are not in the form for this big event, maybe we are still in euphoria of the Liverpool’s match or the lads are just gave away this game to our “beloved” enemies so we will have another derby coming in next season.

The 26-year-old Frenchman agreed to move to Tyneside on a loan agreement from QPR in the summer and has done much to lift spirits amongst the Toon Army, scoring five goals in just five appearances for Alan Pardew’s inconsistent side.

When the season-long loan transfer was agreed, it was intimated by betfair pundits that the switch from Loftus Road was likely to be made permanent.

Indeed, Pardew said recently that a deal was in place to sign the French striker, who played in his country’s recent 6-0 friendly win against Australia and the World Cup qualifier against Finland.

However, while on international duty, former Marseille forward, Remy, appeared keen to keep his options open, saying: “I am really enjoying it at Newcastle, but what happens next I don’t know.

“For the moment the question of staying beyond my loan period is not in my head – it is a good question, but we have time to decide.”

Remy scored six goals in 14 Premier League games for QPR after moving to Loftus Road from Marseille in January but was unable to prevent Harry Redknapp’s side becoming favourites for relegation in the football betting on betfair, and ultimately sliding through the trapdoor.

He has scored braces for Newcastle against Hull City and Cardiff City and also found the net against Everton, leading Pardew to say: “There is (something in place for him) but it’s complicated and I can’t really go into that in too much detail, but what I would say about him is that he’s given us what we didn’t have last year.”

Remy began his career at Lyon and went on to play for Nice before joining Marseille for £12.5milion in August 2010.

In the effect of his transfer speculation to Arsenal, Cabaye was not taking part in Newcastle’s first two Premierleague match this season against Manchester City and West Ham as well as in the League Cup against Morecambe.

“I want to forget what happened during the summer, I want to put it behind me and give everything for Newcastle every day, for the club and for my team-mates.” he said,

“If the fans were – or still are – mad at me for what happened then I understand and I apologise to them.”

Coming on as a substitute against Fulham in the previous matchday, Cabaye regained his position back in Toon first team squad against Aston Villa last Saturday and quickly shown he’s still one of Newcastle United quality player.

We, the Toon Army accepted his apology and when he was substituted at Villa Park, the travelling Toon fans give him a fantastic ovation for his part in Newcastle first away win this season.
