They finished in 12th place. Newcastle's early season form was erratic on their return to English football's top tier, with thrashings of Aston Villa and local rivals Sunderland and exceptional away victories at Everton and Arsenal offset by home defeats against Blackpool, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City. After a win over Arsenal sent Newcastle to fifth in the league, the team went on a winless run that ended in the controversial sacking of manager Chris Hughton in December. The club swiftly appointed Alan Pardew, last of third-tier Southampton, although Newcastle fans were suspicious due to alleged links with the club's unpopular owners. Despite the club's form still being reasonable, the owner's popularity decreased further after the January transfer deadline day sale of local hero Andy Carroll for £35 million to Liverpool. The club pulled off one of the Premier League's greatest ever comebacks to draw 4–4 with Arsenal at St James' Park after being 4–0 down at half-time. Season summary thumb|100px|Chris Hughton During the summer of 2010, Chris Hughton completed the signings of defender James Perch from Nottingham Forest, young midfielder Dan Gosling from Everton after an administrative error at Goodison Park allowed the 20-year-old to move to Newcastle on a free transfer and experienced centre-half Sol Campbell from Arsenal also on a free in preparation for life back in the Premier League. Towards the end of the transfer window, Ivory Coast international and defensive midfielder Cheick Tioté was also signed by the club from Twente for a reported £3.5 million, while Hatem Ben Arfa was brought in on a season long loan from Marseille for a reported £2 million, with the view of a permanent move for a further £5 million should he make more than 25 appearances for the club. This season also saw the departure of captain Nicky Butt, who opted to retire from football, and Fabrice Pancrate due to his contract expiring and no new deal being agreed. Although the opening match of the season away to Manchester United saw the Magpies lose 3–0, they continue to remain unbeaten at St James' Park with a 6–0 victory over Aston Villa on 22 August 2010, which welcomed a hat-trick from the new number nine Andy Carroll, as well as Joey Barton shaving his moustache, which was part of the "Magpies Moustache Challenge".https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8935090.stm BBC Sport Football Joey Barton keeps moustache promise after Newcastle win 22 August 2010 22 August 2010 For their next match away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, they drew 1–1, Carroll again scoring with people calling for a call up to the senior England squad for the 21-year-old. After an international break, an excited, large crowd accumulated at a bouncing, atmospheric St James' Park for the following clash against Blackpool. A 2–0 defeat left the club ending their unbeaten record at St James' Park. New signing Tioté made his debut and Hatem Ben Arfa started his first game for the following match against Everton, while Sol Campbell was still not nearing match fitness. The game ended with a 1–0 victory, sending them to fifth position in the table. Newcastle continued their impressive run of form with an excellent and unexpected 4–3 win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the League Cuo. The following league fixture saw Stoke City at St James' Park, which ended in a disappointing 2–1 defeat. An away game to Manchester City followed seeing another 2–1 defeat for Newcastle, but also saw midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa suffer a horrific double leg break following a clash with City midfielder Nigel de Jong.https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6424417,00.html Sky Sports Ben Arfa fear for Magpies The club demanded action on De Jong, claiming Ben Arfa faced a lengthy spell on the sidelines.https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6428335,00.html Sky Sports Toon demand De Jong action Ben Arfa's agent also claimed that De Jong had not apologised to Ben Arfa.https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6437537,00.html Sky Sports Agent – No De Jong apology A 2–2 draw at St James' Park with Wigan Athletic followed, with ex-midfielder Charles N'Zogbia scoring the two openers for Wigan before a Shola Ameobi goal made it 2–1 with 15 minutes left, and in the dying seconds defender Fabricio Coloccini powered a header past goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi to rescue a point for Newcastle.https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6452223,00.html Sky Sports N'Zogbia unfazed by boo-boys The team got back on track after a three-game winless run when they defeated bottom of the table West Ham United 2–1 at Upton Park on 23 October. Newcastle had gone behind after only 12 minutes thanks to a Carlton Cole goal, but quickly turned things around with captain Kevin Nolan equalising ten minutes later and Andy Carroll grabbing the winner with 20 minutes left. The club faced more controversy when striker Andy Carroll was arrested for a reported attack on his ex-girlfriend at her home in Newcastle, to which he pleaded self-defense. He was released on bail on 18 October.https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6452395,00.html Sky Sports Toon striker Carroll bailed Newcastle's good form was lost in a 2–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at home, going 1–0 down after just two minutes with a goal from Morten Gamst Pedersen. Striker Andy Carroll got an equaliser early in the second half only for Newcastle to go behind again late after a goal from Jason Roberts. Joey Barton received a three match ban for punching Gamst Pedersen and Shola Ameobi suffered a hamstring injury. Newcastle's poor home form continued after they played to a 0–0 draw against Fulham. Danny Guthrie replaced a suspended Barton only to be substituted for Wayne Routledge later on; Peter Løvenkrands replaced Ameobi who was then substituted for Nile Ranger. Carroll was given Man of the Match after getting many chances and good shots only for them to be blocked by Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer or cleared off the line. Alan Pardew Controversy once again hit the club as Chris Hughton was sacked on 6 December 2010 following Newcastle's 3–1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

Theo Walcott gave Arsenal a 1–0 lead inside just 43 seconds, Johan Djourou put Arsenal 2–0 up on three minutes, then Robin van Persie added insult to injury with a third goal inside the tenth minute. Arsenal went in at half time 4–0 up after another goal from Van Persie, however early in the second half Arsenal's Abou Diaby was shown a straight red card for pushing Midfielders Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan after what he felt to be a bad tackle in which replays showed was legal. It was all downhill for Arsenal from there. Barton slipped a coolly taken penalty in to make 4–1, then Leon Best made it 4–2 with a thumping close range effort not long after a goal he scored just before had been judged offside. Another penalty gave Newcastle hope with Barton scoring again, and the returning midfielder Cheick Tioté scored a phenomenal volley from 30 yards to give Newcastle a well-deserved point with the final score being a massive 4–4 draw. This was the first time any Premier League club had ever come back from being 4–0. Newcastle were not beaten by Arsenal in the 2010–11 Premier League season, having beating them 1–0 at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season under Chris Hughton's management.http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Match/Report/0,,10278~2286076,00.html Newcastle United Match Match Reports Newcastle United 4 Arsenal 4 5 October 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20120317104232/http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Match/Report/0%2C%2C10278~2286076%2C00.html 17 March 2012 dead On 10 February 2011, former Finland international Shefki Kuqi joined Newcastle for the remainder of the season. https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/9392873.stm Newcastle sign striker Shefki Kuqi 10 February 2011 10 February 2011 BBC Sport Newcastle finished in 12th place, a reasonable position on the team's first year back, but slightly tempered after the team looked set to finish ninth until they threw away a 3–0 lead against West Brom on the final day of the season.

Arsenal are 3–0 up within ten minutes and 4–0 up by half-time, but the sending off of Abou Diaby proved to be a turning point. Two Joey Barton penalties sandwiching a goal from Leon Best gave Newcastle unlikely hope for somehow gaining a point, before Cheick Tioté smashed in a 30-yard volley to make the score 4–4. Newcastle could have improbably yet gained all three points, but Kevin Nolan's late strike on goal was inches wide. Nonetheless, securing a point which, for 45 minutes, looked unbelievably impossible to salvage, was something for Newcastle to be proud of. 10 February 2011: Newcastle sign Finnish striker Shefki Kuqi until the end of the season.
