Parker out for season? Newcastle are awaiting news on whether Scott Parker will miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old has been sent for tests amid fears he is suffering from glandular fever. Should the club and player's worst fears be confirmed, Parker will play no further part in The Magpies' campaign and will also extinguish any lingering hopes he had of making England's World Cup finals squad. "We are still waiting for confirmation but all the signs are that Scott has got glandular fever," said caretaker boss Glenn Roeder. "Doctors don't like to say anything until test results come back, but that is what we are expecting. "We think he has had this problem for a month or more, and that sums up everything you need to know about Scott Parker." Parker has forged an effective partnership with Emre in Newcastle's midfield and his absence will be a blow to the club's hopes of climbing the table in the final seven games of the season.
Re: Parker out for season? You couldn't even script the type of season Newcastle have had this year. It's a fucking joke......
