  • 22–25 January 2013: Newcastle make four more new signings, all from France's Ligue 1. These were French internationals Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Moussa Sissoko from Montpellier and Toulouse respectively, as well as Yoan Gouffran from Bordeaux and Massadio Haïdara from Nancy.
  • 29 January 2013: A hard-fought 2–1 win against Aston Villa pull Newcastle four points clear of the relegation zone.
  • 2 February 2013: The Magpies record their first home win over Chelsea since 2006, with a dominant 3–2 win over the Blues, including two goals from new signing Moussa Sissoko. With the win, Newcastle further extended their distance from the drop zone, sitting six points ahead of 18th placed Wigan.
  • 9 February 2013: Newcastle drop back to 16th despite a brave display in a 2–1 loss at Tottenham Hotspur. Yoan Gouffran's first goal for the club sees the visitors level at half-time but a Gareth Bale double results in a 2–1 home win.
  • 14 February 2013: Papiss Cissé has two goals controversially ruled out, both for offside, as the Magpies are held to a 0–0 draw at home to Metalist Kharkiv.
  • 20 February 2013: The club confirm a French Day for their home match with Southampton after signing five Frenchmen in January (Debuchy, Gouffran, Sissoko, Haïdara and Yanga-Mbiwa) to add to Romain Amalfitano, Sylvain Marveaux, Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa and Gabriel Obertan.
  • 21 February 2013: Shola Ameobi scores his 15th European goal from the penalty spot as Newcastle beat Metalist Kharkiv 1–0 for their first European away win since February 2007 to seal a tie with Russian giants Anzhi Makhachkala, but man of the match Tim Krul suffers an injury keeping him out until early April.
  • 24 February 2013: On French Day, the Magpies beat Southampton 4–2, taking the club above the Saints and local rivals Sunderland just four weeks after being seven points behind the Black Cats. There are three French speaking players who score — Morgan Schneiderlin to put the visitors in front after just three minutes; Moussa Sissoko with a tap-in to equalize, having been set up by another Frenchman, Yoan Gouffran; and Yohan Cabaye, who netted a penalty to make it 3–2 to Newcastle. Another French-speaking player, Papiss Cissé, scores a wonder strike to make it 2–1 to the hosts. Rickie Lambert netted a tap-in to put Southampton level, but a Jos Hooiveld own goal gives Newcastle a 4–2 lead.
  • 1 March 2013: Nile Ranger leaves the club by mutual consent, having had running battles with fans on Twitter and was arrested in January after criticizing fans for booing following the poor performance in the home defeat to Reading.
  • 2 March 2013: Newcastle drop back down to 15th after a 1–0 loss at League Cup winners Swansea despite an excellent performance by Steven Taylor and the fact the Magpies were the better team in the second half before Luke Moore's 85th-minute winner.

  • 10 March 2013: For the third Premier League home game in a row, the Magpies come from behind to win, this time against Stoke. Jonathan Walters put the Potters 1–0 up from the penalty spot before a Yohan Cabaye free-kick and an injury time volley from Cissé win the game for Newcastle.
  • 14 March 2013: In the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 tie with Anzhi, the visitors go down to ten men after Mehdi Carcela's 55th-minute red card. The game looked to be heading into extra time until Cissé's last-second header.
  • 15 March 2013: Newcastle are the last team to be drawn out for the Europa League quarter-finals and are paired with unbeaten runaway Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders Benfica
  • 17 March 2013: In a controversial encounter at struggling Wigan, the Magpies went behind to Jean Beausejour's first goal for the home side before Callum McManaman's horror challenge on Massadio Haïdara went controversially unpunished, meaning Pardew's number two John Carver and Latics first team coach Graham Barrow both sent to the stands for the second half for a spat. David Santon's first Newcastle goal looked to have saved them a point, but after Cissé's shot was saved by goalkeeper Joel before a goal kick was given, TV replays showed that Maynor Figueroa handled the ball before Arouna Koné's eventual winner.
  • 19 March 2013: Steven Taylor earns himself an England call up to replace the injured Gary Cahill, but on the same day the FA decide not to take action against Callum McManaman following his horror challenge on Massadio Haïdara, much to the anger of the Magpies.
  • 21 March 2013: Newcastle's longest-serving player, Steve Harper, announces his retirement after 20 years with the Tynesiders

  • 7 April 2013: Cissé scores yet another late winner at home to Fulham. The goal saw Alan Pardew do a famous touchline dash, a celebration that Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has done on numerous occasions; Pardew ended up celebrating in the crowd.
  • 11 April 2013: Cissé's 71st-minute header gives Newcastle hope of progressing into the Europa League semi-finals against Benfica before Eduardo Salvio's late equalizer sends Pardew's team out of Europe.
  • 14 April 2013: Newcastle suffer an embarrassing 3–0 home defeat to local rivals Sunderland in the Tyne–Wear derby, the Black Cats' first win since 19 January. After the match, fans start riots in Newcastle, with 29 people arrested.[10]
  • 15 April 2013: The Magpies release a statement saying they were appalled with the riots and will give lifetime bans to fans found guilty.[11]

  • 1 May 2013: The club release a statement saying they are disappointed about The Sun's untrue article about Hatem Ben Arfa.
  • 4 May 2013: Newcastle take another away beat, this time a 0–0 draw at West Ham despite Cissé having a shot which may have gone in cleared off the line by Winston Reid. After the match, Pardew responded to The Sun's article about Ben Arfa.
  • 9 May 2013: The Journal report that Steve Harper may have to wait until the following season for his testimonial and they mention it might be against Rangers.
  • 10 May 2013: Moussa Sissoko and Shola Ameobi are both ruled out for the rest of the season.
  • 12 May 2013: Newcastle's survival is mathematically confirmed with a 2–1 win at already-relegated Queens Park Rangers. Loïc Rémy, who almost moved to the Magpies, opened the scoring from the penalty spot for QPR before Ben Arfa equalized from another penalty. Gouffran then benefited from QPR keeper Robert Green's poor clearance to put the Magpies in front. Rob Elliot's red card late on meant Steve Harper could come on, it also meant he would be able to play his last match against Arsenal.
  • 19 May 2013: Newcastle's last match of the season, at home to Arsenal, sees the Gunners win 1–0 through Laurent Koscielny's volley and confirm their Champions League spot for next season. The defeat sees Alan Pardew's team drop to 16th, though they had the consolation of finishing above local rivals Sunderland. In the 37th minute, the fans do a minute's applause for retiring goalkeeper Steve Harper.
