Although five of Newcastle's remaining Premier League games are now
confirmed, the remaining two remain subject to change - Friday
bringing further frustration with regard to our final home game of
the campaign against West Ham.
Although PL's guidance stated that the live TV selections for that
weekend would be available last Wednesday, the FSA (Football
Supporters Association) have spotted that this section of the PL
website was sneakily amended to read:
Post-FA Cup semi-finals.
FA Cup semi-finals take place on 25-26 April. This is to avoid
further amendments to Premier League matches scheduled for the same
weekend.
Sun 17.05.2026
tbc West Ham (h) 3pm tbc
All PL fixtures
that weekend are provisionally listed as Sun 17.05.2026, with Sat
16.05.2026 set aside exclusively for the FA Cup Final to be played
at Wembley.
West Ham's FA Cup Quarter-final defeat means that our fixture can
take place over that weekend, but depending on the live TV
selections could be played on Fri 15.05.2026, Sun
17.05.2026 or Mon 18.05.2026.
PL games are also set to be played on Tue 19.05.2026, but it's
expected that those only will be the ones postponed due to teams
involved playing in the FA Cup Final.
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm Sky
PL advice
regarding this game is that the rescheduled slot remains
"subject to participation in UEFA competitions."
Should Arsenal win their Champions League Quarter-final tie against
Sporting Lisbon, they'd be in Semi-final first leg action on Tue
28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026.
Following the first leg in Portugal, the Gunners lead 1-0 going into
the second leg on Wed 15.04.2026.
Our visit to Arsenal remains at risk of further rescheduling at very short notice,
although their exit from the CL rather than progression in it looks
to be the deciding factor for the PL.
The lack of any PL games on Sun 26.04.2026 had prompted speculation
that our game could be moved were Arsenal to be eliminated by
Sporting - and then have a free midweek following our visit.
However, Arsenal have now confirmed that their Women's Champions
League Semi-final against Lyon will be played at the Emirates on Sun
26.04.2026.
That removes the Sunday option and whether the Arsenal men are still
in the CL or not, there seems no reason for a further amendment to
our rescheduled fixture at 5.30pm on Sat 25.04.2026. Hopefully.
Premier League:
Crystal Palace (a)
Newcastle
return to Premier League action on Sunday,
facing the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
It's a 2pm
kick-off live on Sky Sports.
Following a 2-0 home success in January, United
go in search of their first PL win double over Palace since the
2013/14 season.
Team: Speaking to the media on Friday, Eddie Howe said that
only Lewis Miley was in line for a return, with
Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar and Sven Botman all still out.
Sidelined for the club's last 11 games in all competitions, Bruno
isn't predicted to return until the Arsenal game later this month
after suffering with an unspecified illness since returning from his
injury rehabilitation in Brazil.
Schar is undergoing a further operation - this time on his foot -
and is expected to miss another month on top of the 21 league and
cup fixtures he's already sat out.
Botman remains sidelined after facial surgery in the wake of the
derby loss, with a comeback in May spoken about.
Joelinton goes into this game on nine PL bookings - if he makes it
ten against Palace he'll land a two game ban, but that doesn't
happen then the threat will be lifted.
Coral rate this game as follows:
NUFC win 29/20

CPFC win 9/5

Eddie Nketiah isn't expected to be available.
Ahead of our visit, Oliver Glasner's side beat Fiorentina 3-0 at
Selhurst Park in the first leg of their Europa
Conference League quarter-final on Thursday night.
Palace's away form remains better than on home territory; winning
just three of their 15 PL games at Selhurst, drawing seven and
losing the other five.
Their home scoring record of 14 goals is the second-fewest in the
PL, one more than Nottingham Forest.

U21s:
PL2 update
Although their hopes of a top 16 finish and a place in the playoffs
rely on results elsewhere, Newcastle U21s have a significant part to
play in the race for the PL2 title.
Tonight sees them face a Manchester United side at Leigh
Sports Village (now known as the Progress with Unity Stadium) with
the Red Devils level on points with leaders Chelsea at kick-off,
although trailing on goal difference.
Chelsea meanwhile will take on Fulham at Motspur Park - both games
kicking off at 7pm.
There's an added edge to the clash of the two Uniteds, with the Red
Devils now managed by Adam Lawrence - who was Newcastle U21 boss for
a spell earlier in the season.
FAO anyone looking to attend our game at Leigh, admission is by
advance ticket only, available online
here until kick-off. No tickets are available to buy over
the counter or at the turnstiles.
The U21s then conclude their PL2 campaign by facing Wolves at
Whitley Park on Monday (7pm).

Update:
Tripps
away
Newcastle confirm the full back Kieran Trippier's
current contract won't be extended and will expire this summer.
Now 35, Trippier became United's
first senior signing
of the post-Mike Ashley era when making a £12m switch to SJP from Atletico
Madrid in early 2022.
He's made 157 appearances in all competitions, pivotal in lifting
United from a relegation spot into Carabao Cup winners via a pair of
Champions League campaigns.
Trippier quotes:
"The time has come to leave this
amazing club after four-and-a-half years. This is where I have felt
most at home. It's emotional, and I'm really going to miss it.
"I want to say a massive thank
you to the supporters for all the support through the good and the
bad times. You've always supported me, always stood by me.
"To my team mates, it's going to
be emotional. It's been an amazing journey with you guys. I'm going
to miss you all, but to win a trophy with you guys was really,
really special - the best of my career.
"And to the manager, Eddie Howe,
all the coaching staff and the team behind the scenes, a massive
thank you. The gaffer had the trust - twice - to sign me, gave me
the opportunity to represent and captain this great club and most
importantly, we managed to win a trophy.
"I'm going to miss everyone at
the club. Thank you."
Eddie Howe:
"Kieran has been magnificent for us on and off the pitch. From the
moment he walked through the door, he has helped to drive standards
that have changed the club's trajectory.
"His performances on the pitch
have been to the highest level. Building strong partnerships with
the players around him. His outstanding technical ability helped
elevate the team and his strong crossing ability helped create many
goals and chances for his team mates.
"His leadership skills have been
invaluable. In difficult moments his experience has proved calming
and his drive and will to win has inspired the players to keep
pushing forward.
"While we'll be saying goodbye
to Kieran shortly, we also know we have a lot left to play for this
season, and I know a player of Kieran's character will be giving
absolutely everything to end his time here on a high."
Ross Wilson, Newcastle United's
sporting director:
"Kieran should be so proud of the contribution he has made to
Newcastle United's progress over the last four-and-a-half years.
"I've admired Kieran from a
distance for many years, and seeing him up close in recent months
has only reinforced the impact he has as a leader, both in the
dressing room and on the pitch.
"When the time comes, Kieran
will leave with the respect and gratitude of everyone connected with
Newcastle United. We wish him every success in whatever comes next."
Update:
Opportunity Knox
Newcastle United have agreed a sponsorship deal with South African
sports drink company KNOX, including training ground naming
rights and training kit sleeve sponsorship.
From July 1st, the three year deal worth £18m in total sees United's
Darsley Park training ground renamed The KNOX.
Meanwhile the club's teams - men, women and academy - will wear
training kit that includes KNOX sleeve branding.
Efforts to secure a main (front of shirt) sponsor for training kit
remain ongoing, while news of a shirt sponsor to replace SELA when
that deal expires this summer is also awaited.
PS: Thanks to NUFC.com reader Gary Taylor for
the image of KNOX products taken in South Africa.
Update:
Toon in the USA
Newcastle have two representatives in
the England U16 squad selected for games in the US state of Florida.
London-born defender Aristide Lesecond Yeutembip* and
midfielder Jayden Kouossu who hails from Milan are both named
in a 23 man party for games against the USA (April 16th), Argentina
(19th) and Mexico (22nd).
* known as Les.
Update:
Loan lads
Max Thompson (Ayr United):
Another night on the bench for the goalkeeper as Ayr lost 0-3 at
home to Dunfermline Athletic
in the Scottish Championship on Tuesday.
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
Injury meant that Matt missed Monday's 2-2 draw at Swansea City in
the Championship.
Harrison Ashby/Joe White (Bradford City):
Harrison made only his second start for the Bantams as a 2-1 win at
Wycombe Wanderers boosted their chances of remaining in the League
One playoff places.
Fielded at right wing back, he completed 80 minutes at the cost
of a booking.
Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS):
The goalkeeper wasn't involved on
Monday as Dunston won 3-0
at Newton Aycliffe
in the Northern Premier League.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
No pitch time for the on-loan Magpie as Cadiz lost 1-3 at home to Cordoba
in La Liga 2 on Saturday.
Charlie McArthur (Airdrieonians):
The defender completed the entirety of Saturday's 4-0 win away to Ross County
in the Scottish Championship.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
The midfielder watched Saturday's 2-0 win at Telstar in the Eredivisie
from the bench.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
There was no involvement for the winger in Sunday's 1-1 home draw
against Paris FC in Ligue 1.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
The goalkeeper kept his place for Sunday's 0-1 defeat away to Real
Oviedo in La Liga.
Update:
More
silverware
for Young Mags
Following on from their recent triumph in the Premier League
International Tournament, Newcastle's U15 side enjoyed further
trophy success over the Easter weekend.
The Toon prospects travelled to the Dutch city of Rotterdam and
lifted the Orange Veins Cup after a penalty shootout victory
over PSG in the final on Monday.
Four 30 minute group stage games on Sunday saw United win twice and
draw twice to finish first in their section and progress to the
following day's semi-finals.
They then recovered a 0-1 half time deficit against Borussia
Monchengladbach to win 3-1, thanks to late efforts from Charlie
Robinson (2) and Daniel Hynd.
That set up a final against PSG that ended 1-1 with Muawiya Ghanem
opening the scoring for the black and whites before the French
youngsters levelled.
Newcastle then won the penalty shootout that followed, with
goalkeeper Lucas Flack making a vital stop.
Update:
Derby abuse:
arrest made
From The Northern Echo, Wednesday:
A man has been arrested
following reports of racist abuse during March's Tyne-Wear derby.
The incident took place during
the match at St James’ Park on March 22.
A 45-year-old man from the
Gateshead area was arrested on Tuesday. He was detained on suspicion
of a racially-aggravated public order offence and has since been
released on bail.
Sunderland defender Lutsharel
Geertruida reported the abuse during the second half of the match,
prompting referee Anthony Taylor to pause the game.
Detective Inspector Phil Guard
of Northumbria Police said: "Racial abuse has absolutely no place in
football or in our communities, and we will not tolerate this type
of behaviour.
"Following proactive policing
enquiries and close partnership working with both clubs and their
supporters, a suspect has been arrested.
"They have since been bailed
with robust conditions while the investigation continues.
"We will continue to work with
clubs, supporters and partner agencies to tackle any form of
criminality at football matches."
Newcastle United released a
statement condemning the reported abuse, stating: "Our stance is
clear – we do not tolerate discrimination of any form.
"We will work with the
authorities to fully investigate and will ensure any individuals are
identified and held accountable."
Sunderland also offered their
support to the player and condemned the incident.
A spokesman said: "We stand with
Lutsharel, who has our complete backing, and we commend him for
displaying bravery and leadership by reporting this incident to the
match officials.

Bournemouth (h)
Saturday week - April 18th - sees the Cherries in Toon, as
Eddie Howe makes another attempt to record a first Premier League
success for the Magpies against his former club.
Although Newcastle have beaten Bournemouth at SJP in both Carabao
Cup and FA Cup ties under Howe, they are winless in all seven home
or away PL meetings to date - drawing five and losing the other two.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm
start.
The visitors have taken an allocation of 1,726 tickets.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are offered to applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are
then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away tickets remain at £30 for the rest of this season, 2026/27 and

Born Or Died:
1974 Andreas Andersson born,
Osterhoninge Sweden. (1998-99)
A Swedish international who won a
domestic title with Gothenburg, Andersson moved to AC Milan but struggled in
Serie A and was acquired by Kenny Dalglish - who claimed that he'd had 100
strikers scouted before deciding to bring him to Tyneside.
The other 99 must have been truly bloody dreadful, as he failed to
impress on his debut away to Aston Villa in February 1998 and little changed in
the following 14 months before his final first team outing.
Belatedly breaking his scoring duck at the tenth time of asking at home to
Barnsley, Andersson then netted in the next game to force a draw at Old
Trafford.
However, he continued to show a singular lack of appetite for the fight; maybe
he'd have fared better if he'd dumped the Alice band in favour of a short back
and sides...
Ending the season with a woeful bench outing in the FA Cup Final loss to
Arsenal, his next goal came early the following season in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea
before Ruud Gullit's installation as manager.
The fourth and final senior goal of his time in Toon came just after Christmas
1998 during a 2-4 loss at Anfield, a month after United had invested £8m in
the rather more forceful forward talent of Duncan Ferguson.
Losing his place in the senior squad, by the end of the 1998/99 season
Andersson was reduced to scuffing about in Pontins League Division 2 for United
reserves, hitting four in a 6-1 home win over the footballing might that is
Lincoln City Reserves.
What proved to be his final sighting in a Newcastle shirt came in a pre-season
game against Dutch minnows Helmond Sport in July 1999, United recouping £2m of
their £3m outlay a month later when Andreas returned to Sweden with AIK Solna.
A serious knee injury sustained in 2003 would prompt his retirement two years
later, although he did subsequently appear for Swedish lower league sides Hova
IF and FC Andrea Doria.
1985 Jesus Gamez born, Fuengirola, Spain.
(2016-18)
United deviated from their transfer age
range when acquiring this 31 year-old full back from Atletico Madrid during
July 2016.
Beginning his career in Malaga's B team, Jesus was promoted to the senior side
for the first time in November 2005.
The following nine seasons saw Gamez make over 250 appearances for Malaga,
helping them gain promotion, becoming captain and playing in the Champions
League.
Facing United in the Schalke 04 Cup during August 2014, within days he'd
completed a £4.3m move to Atletico Madrid where he featured at both left and
right back.
Entering the final year of his deal in 2016, a return to Malaga looked likely
until an offer to join fellow countryman Rafa Benitez on Tyneside was
made.
Featuring in pre-season, Gamez was sent off during a 4-0 win at Lokeren for the
Spanish equivalent of handbags with an opponent.
However, fitness issues delayed Jesus' debut until he played at left back in a
2-0 home win over Cheltenham Town in August 2016.
A collarbone injury sustained in a home loss to Blackburn Rovers then kept him
sidelined until he appeared in the woeful FA Cup loss at Oxford United the
following January.
Briefly appearing in the side towards the end of the Championship-winning
season, Gamez made his Premier League debut and played 90 minutes in a 1-0 win
at Swansea City during September 2017.
However, what proved to be his final outing for the club came a fortnight later
away to Brighton and he spent the remainder of the season out with an ankle
problem.
Jesus departed in May 2018 having played ten games from a possible 94 and
amassed 558 competitive minutes on the field - one of Rafa Benitez's
less inspired acquisitions.
He didn't appear anywhere else before retiring.
2000 Adam Wilson born, Ashington.
(2016-22)
Winger with United from the age of ten, who began his career
at Newcastle City Juniors.
Debuting for the U18s at Blackburn Rovers in
January 2016, Adam signed a two-year scholarship with Newcastle later that
year.
Blooded at reserve level against Hartlepool United in October 2017,
Wilson's maiden strike came at Swansea four months after.
International recognition came his way two months later, selected by
England U18 for a four team friendly tournament at
St. George's Park and debuting against Qatar.
Adam then ended the season in possession of a Northumberland Senior Cup
winner's medal following victory over Morpeth Town at SJP.
Signing his first professional contract in July 2018, Wilson was selected by
Rafa Benitez to train with the Magpies first team, but missed part of the
U23s season through injury.
More fitness issues saw Adam missing for large periods over the following seasons
before returning to the U23s in 2021/22.
Released in Summer 2022
after scoring at Aston Villa on what proved to be his final appearance, he
joined Welsh Premier League side The New Saints, helping them to the
championship in his first season and qualification for the Champions League.
Adam joined Bradford City in August 2023 but returned to The New Saints 12
months later on loan, later making that switch permanent.
He debuted for the Kenya national side in June 2025, qualifying through his
mother.

Without
a game after their trip to Sheffield Wednesday was
postponed in order to accommodate an England international
match (see below), Newcastle arranged a kickabout
against Scottish opposition.
George Pyke netted four times for the hosts, while
reserve team player Alfred Dark scored the fifth.
1920 An eventful game at
Hillsborough saw England beat Scotland 5-4 in the
Home Internationals. Newcastle's Wilf Low was in the
Scotland line-up.

Having playing
at Cardiff City in the league the previous Saturday,
United remained in South Wales for a kickabout at
Somerton Park the following Monday evening.
The two sides had met in the FA Cup at SJP earlier
in the season. NB: Some reports give Smailes 3 goals
and McDonald 2.

Division One
P36, 36pts, 11th/22
Wilkinson(32,45)

P36, 38pts, 9th/22
Connelly(18,19), Pearson(44),

relegation fears - and Newcastle's victory on Humberside the following Monday
virtually sealed their fate.

Division Two
P40, 45pts, 5th/22
Cairns(40), Livingstone(43), Pearson(55)

Division Two
P38, 49pts, 2nd/22
Stobbart(32)
Lever(85pen)

The brakes were put on United's promotion charge,
as a first-ever league win at Ninian Park eluded them.
However their nearest challengers for second spot, Sheffield Wednesday, were
also held 1-1 at home by Coventry City.
1948 Newcastle officials were in Glasgow for the Scotland versus England
home international at Hampden, but left without concluding a transfer for an
unidentified player. England won 2-0.
 1954
Portsmouth (a)
0-2 (0-1)
Division One
P39, 32pts, 17th/22
Barnard(25), Dale(80)
26,604
After a 1-4 midweek defeat to Millwall in a friendly, United remained in the
South East but lost at Fratton Park.
Injury meant that former Pompey favourite Jimmy Scoular was forced to watch from
the stand as his current side struggled.
 1957
FC Nancy (France) (h) 2-2 (0-2)
Friendly
White(48), Hannah(58)
Bottollier(41)
Deladeriere(44)
15,224
Newcastle hosted French opposition in the shape of Nancy, the cites having
been twinned exactly three years earlier.
Nancy went out of business in 1965, with a newly-formed AS Nancy formed in
1967.
 1965
Swindon Town (h)
1-0 (1-0)
Division Two
P38, 52pts, 1st/22
Hilley(31)
32,503
Following their 6-1 victory at the County Ground earlier in the season,
Newcastle did the double over a Robins side who were soon to be relegated.
With four games remaining, Joe Harvey's side were now just one win
away from a return to the top flight.
 1971
Leeds United (h)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
P37, 37pts, 9th/22
Tudor(59)
Lorimer(82)
49,699
Ahead when John Tudor forced in Keith Dyson's
shot, Newcastle were pegged back when Peter Lorimer netted direct from a corner
at the Leazes End - although home 'keeper Iam McFaul protested strongly that
he'd been obstructed by Jack Charlton.
Visiting manager Don Revie was content to tell reporters afterwards that, "any
point away from home is worthwhile. Two would be very nice but this will do
us."
The Whites went on to lose the title by a solitary point to Arsenal and we like to
think it was this one...
 1973
Ipswich Town (a)
0-1 aet (0-0) (1-2 agg)
Texaco Cup Semi Final second leg
Hamilton(96)
18,627
United lost to a Bryan Hamilton goal scored during extra time - the first

earlier. Future Mag Geoff Nulty netted.

Division One
P38, 35pts, 14th/22
Richards(46,74,86), Hibbitt(72), Carr(76)
20,083
Having ended a five game winless run with a 4-0 home victory over Birmingham
City in midweek, United headed for Molineux to face a side they'd beaten 5-1 at SJP.
Scoreless at the break, it rapidly went awry for Newcastle in their blue change strip,
as Bill McGarry's Wolves went goal crazy.

 1979
Burnley (a)
0-1 (0-1)
Division Two
P35, 34pts, 13th/22
Hall(11)
7,851
A trio of victories propelled United from sixteenth to eleventh ahead of a
Tuesday night trip to Turf Moor.
Once Brian Hall had beaten Steve Hardwick though, Clarets 'keeper Alan Stevenson
preserved that lead; denying Irving Nattrass, Alan Shoulder, Tommy Cassidy, John
Connolly and Peter Withe - who also hit the crossbar.
 1982
Leicester City (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P35, 56pts,
5th/22
25,777
City were a man short for the third game in a row when Kevin MacDonald was
dismissed for kicking out at Mick Martin on 43 minutes.
However some over-elaboration in the box meant that Foxes 'keeper Mark
Wallington was beaten just once - and Imre Varadi's ninth minute header was
ruled out for an offside.
The draw left United two places and three points off a promotion playoff place,
but a run of five successive losses would ensure yet another season of second
tier obscurity.
 1991
Oxford United (h)
2-2 (1-1)
Division Two
P38, 49pts, 15th/24
Hunt(13), og(Melville)(57)
Simpson(34,84)
10,004
At the third time of asking, Ossie Ardiles saw his side collect their first
point and net for the first time since his arrival.
The game had been abandoned at half time due to heavy rain some three weeks
earlier with United 1-0 ahead through Mick Quinn.
Fellow striker Andy Hunt's first senior goal for the club opened the scoring
this time round; a fine bicycle kick at the Leazes End.
Magpies 'keeper John Burridge then palmed Paul Simpson's shot into the net for
1-1.
Quinn optimistically claimed his side's second after he flicked on Steve
Watson's throw-in into the path of Andy Melville, who headed firmly into his own
goal.
Future Magpie coach Paul Simpson bagged salvaged a point for Brian Horton's U's
when a late long-range strike flew into the top left hand corner of John
Burridge's goal.

P41, 81pts, 1st/24
Mutch(54)
17,244
Following a 3-0 win at Cambridge and a 6-0 home drubbing of Barnsley, what
would be the eighth and last defeat of our promotion season came at a sunny
Molineux.
Top scorer Steve Bull was
missing for Wolves, but Andy Mutch fired home from close range after stand-in
striker Mark Rankine centred.
Having netted five times in three games, Andy Cole drew a blank while David
Kelly was denied an equaliser for a handball decision on a day when United
looked distinctly jaded.
Magpies boss Kevin Keegan came over all John McCririck post-match:
"The lads can see the winning post; we are sat with the best horse with the
right jockey on board, but we have still got to make sure we don't misjudge the
race."

Tottenham Hotspur (a) 0-1 (0-1)

P31, 38pts, 12th/20
Defoe(42)
35,885
A
tale of two errors at White Hart Lane, but while Spurs got away with theirs -
the Magpies didn't.
Returning after three months, full
back Celestine Babayaro laid a ball to Steve Harper. However his weak
clearance was blocked by Simon Davies - the deflection falling nicely
for Jermaine Defoe to net.
It was a disappointing moment for Harps, playing his first top-flight away game since appearing here back in
January 2001.
In the second half, Paul Robinson then tried a short pass to
the unaware Anthony Gardner. In nipped James Milner and only needed to chip the ball over
the Spurs 'keeper but instead screwed his effort horribly wide.

In shirt-sleeve
weather on Tyneside, United avenged their defeat at Bloomfield Road earlier in
the season and closed to within four points of the title with a routine victory.
The Seasiders came into this game on the back of four successive victories and
looking for a third consecutive away win to boost their playoff hopes.
However,
they looked a million miles away from the Premier League with a thoroughly
second rate display.

Two terrible
teams tried to outdo each other in the mediocrity stakes at Villa Park, safe in the knowledge that they would meet again in the Premier
League the following season.
In the end it was Villa who took all three points with a simple header but
neither team deserved credit for a tortuous display in front of a live TV
audience who presumably nodded off after their Sunday roasts.
United ended the game with a front duo of Peter Lovenkrands and Shefki Kuqi
- the latter replacing Nile Ranger. Depressing.
