Barton back for Toon run-in
NEWCASTLE United midfielder Joey Barton could be back for the last five games of the season.
The 26-year-old has not played for the Magpies since fracturing a metatarsal in the 2-1 defeat at former club Manchester City in January.

However, the troubled star could make his comeback sooner than expected.
Caretaker boss, Chris Hughton, told nufcTV: "It's very much the case that we are looking at having Joey back for the last four or five matches."
He added: "It's been very frustrating for him and for us as well because he's a quality player.
"We have to cope with that, but when we get him back, that will be a big bonus for us."Newcastle are currently 16th in the Barclay's Premier League - just above the relegation zone.
The club's final five games of a difficult campaign are Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Fulham at home and trips to Liverpool and Aston Villa.
