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.
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.

Update:
Record
revenues reported
NUFC's financial results for the year to June 2025 were published on
Tuesday morning
online here
A pre-tax profit was achieved by
selling St.James' Park to a PIF subsidiary company, although the
land that the stadium sits on remains under the ownership of city
Freemen.
The land on which the STACK development stands adjacent to St.James'
Park was also sold in a similar fashion.
Club notes accompanying the results claim those changes are part of
the process leading towards the decision on whether to rebuild the
stadium or move, and that meeting PSR was not a primary motivation
for the sale.
That is disputed by some media outlets, who assert that failure to
generate funds by some means would have left United vulnerable to
PSR breach and possible sanctions.
Update:
Hopkinson on
Howe etc.
Speaking to the media, club CEO
David Hopkinson said:
On Eddie Howe:
"I don't have a stance on his
future. What I can tell you is that the derby loss hurt.
"We take it seriously. There's
nothing within us that thinks, 'Well, it's just three points and on
we go'. It has resonated.
"I spent a couple of hours in a
one-on-one lunch recently with Eddie and we talked through a
multitude of things, including that.
"Eddie is our manager. I expect
to have a great run to the end of the season here and we will talk
about the future when it's time.
"Right now, we're focused on
this season's competition."
Responding to questions about whether Howe's future would be
decided before next season:
"I would not frame it that way.
We are not looking to make a change at the moment. We are not having
those conversations. We are still in the midst of our season.
"We are focused on the seven matches we have remaining and not
distracting ourselves with speculation about what we may or may not
do in the summer.
"All of us have only got so much bandwidth and we are focused on
finishing this season strongly.”
Barely six weeks ago, Hopkinson said of Howe that:
"I’m really happy with the job he’s doing."
"(His job until the end of the season is)
to maximise the potential of the squad he’s got.
"We haven’t given him a set
target - achieve this, achieve that. He’s a deeply experienced,
total professional, he’s going to go as high as we possibly can.
"He applies the same level of
intention and attention to every match we play. Look, we haven’t
given him a clear target saying ‘deliver this’, he knows what the
ambition is and he knows what the target is.
"Eddie Howe is so important to this club and what he’s done here,
lifting the club’s first trophy in 70 years with the Carabao Cup
last year, is remarkable.
"What he’s doing on the day-to-day, working incredibly hard, has the
support of the club and the ownership."
On transfers:
"I wasn’t here for the (Alexander) Isak situation, but, to
me, Isak was a good sale.
"We haven't got an overall strategy with regard to players out, necessarily.
"We think through what players
might or might not want to do this summer. But if an Isak-like
scenario presents itself again, any player under contract is going
to leave on our terms and we're going to maximise the opportunity
that might represent for the club.
"Going forward, our strategy is
to buy well and sell well. Buying well does not necessarily mean
spending the most money. It means working in the marketplace for the
players that generate the most value for this club rather than the
fee paid for them.
"So there are a multitude of things we need to employ, including developing our own, looking for
opportunities in the marketplace and making sure we are maximising
our opportunity within the available price we can produce."
On possible big-name departures:
"We are not ready to answer that.
"We can make a box office signing but we might not be able to do
that without selling somebody. What I do know is that players that
leave this club will need to do so on our terms.
"Our competitors are formidable and they’ve already got a head start
on us, but all they’ve got is a head start and we’ve got a
tremendous opportunity for growth right in front of us.
"We’ve got to catch these guys.”
PS: questions regarding training ground and stadium plans
weren't answered in any meaningful fashion.

Unlikely lads:
Brace back at
it
Former Newcastle midfielder Paul Bracewell has made a return
to senior football, joining National League Woking as assistant to
their newly-unveiled boss Jermain Defoe.
The 63 year-old has been involved with youth coaching since calling
time on first team coaching at the mackems during 2017 - coinciding
with Defoe's time playing there.
PS: In the ranks of released academy players on trial with other
clubs, Newcastle's Matty Taylor spent time at both Sheffield
Wednesday and Coventry City in recent days.
We're checking claimed sightings of fellow Magpies Jude Cogdon,
Kayden Lucas and Ezra Tika-Lemba elsewhere.
Update:
Alex Cropley
RIP
The death of
former Magpie Alex Cropley has been confirmed. He was 75.
Arriving on Tyneside on loan from Aston Villa in January 1980, the
midfielder struggled to influence Newcastle's faltering bid to
gain promotion from the Second Division.
Struggling for fitness after several injuries, Cropley
made his Magpies debut in a 0-1 loss at Wrexham, keeping his place
for a 0-0 home draw against Birmingham City and a 1-3 reverse away
to Shrewsbury Town before exiting.
Winning two Scotland caps despite his Aldershot birthplace, Alex began his
career at Hibernian in 1969 before joining Arsenal five years later, where
he suffered two broken legs.
Sold to Aston Villa in 1976 he was part of their League Cup winning
side the following year.
After his brief loan spell at SJP, Cropley returned to Villa Park before
a year in Canada with Toronto Blizzard. A brief period with
Portsmouth was then truncated by injury.
Returning to Edinburgh, Cropley ran a pub in the Portobello area of the city
before becoming a taxi driver.
A dementia diagnosis sadly came in
December 2020.
Premier League:
Crystal Palace (a)
Newcastle
will return to Premier League action on Sunday April 12th,
facing the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
It's a 2pm
kick-off live on Sky Sports.
Following a 2-0 home success in January, Eddie Howe's side
go in search of their first PL win double over Palace since the
2013/14 season.
Team: Sven Botman is out but Lewis Miley may return. The
availability of Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar is tbc.
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

CPFC:
Ahead of our visit, Oliver Glasner's side play host to
Fiorentina in the first leg of their Europa Conference League
Quarter-final. That's on Thursday week, April 9th.
Palace's away form remains better than on home territory; winning
just three of their fifteen 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.

Update:
Young Toon in
trophy triumph
Sunday
saw Newcastle's U15 side victorious in the Premier League
International Tournament - an eight team, two day event staged
at the Cobham home of Chelsea.
Qualifying with a 100% record after wins against Everton, Liverpool
and Burnley during which they netted 18 times, the young Magpies
began with a 2-0 win over Manchester United, Muawiya Ghanem and Jack
Skleton on target.
Charlie Robinson's treble and one from Ghanem then accounted for
Crystal Palace, who were defeated 4-0.
With qualification for Sunday's knockout stages virtually assured,
Saturday then concluded with a much-changed line-up losing 0-1 to
Juventus.
Following a 0-0 draw with hosts Chelsea on Sunday, the black and
whites then progressed on penalties, with goalkeeper Lucas Flack
making the vital save.
That set up a final against Manchester City; a first half header
from Ghanem sending the silverware to Tyneside.
PS: That's a second win over City U15s inside a month, after a
6-2 success in a Premier League Floodlit Cup tie.

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.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are
gone.
PL away tickets remain at £30 for the rest of this season, 2026/27 and

Born Or Died:
1990 Mark Bertram
born, Newcastle.
(2005-08)
Defender/midfielder who came through the club's Academy and featured at the 2005 Northern Ireland Milk Cup tournament.
Mark's reserve team debut came at right back against Manchester City in
September 2006 - an eventful game at Kingston Park that ended in a 4-3 win for
Newcastle.
Two first team substitute appearances then followed in pre-season friendlies
ahead of the 2007/08 season, away to Hartlepool United and Hull City.
However, Mark failed to secure a professional deal at SJP and was released in
March 2008, moving across the Tyne to Gateshead.
Subsequently joining Northern League side Team Northumbria and playing
cricket for both Benwell and Walbottle, he coached at Walbottle Campus
and Newcastle United's Academy,
Later moves took Berty to Whitley Bay, Durham City and Seaham Red Star,
while he continued to gain his coaching badges and worked at Northumbria
University.

Gainsborough Trinity (h)
5-2 (4-0)
Division Two
P27, 42pts, 2nd/16
Peddie(2,2-0,44),
Smith(3-0,85),
Morris(4-1pen), Scott(4-2)
12,000
The fourth and final meeting of these two sides
saw Newcastle complete a league double over Trinity
- having suffered the indignity of losing to them
home and away the previous season.
1904 Blackburn
Rovers (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
P32, 40pts, 2nd/18
Veitch(23), Orr(80)
Blackburn(57)
20,000
Weakened by the
exertions of a
fine 3-1 victory at Manchester City the previous
day, Newcastle won again - but only thanks to a
large slice of good fortune.
Colin
Veitch saw his 18th minute penalty saved but atoned
within five minutes.
England international forward Fred Blackburn then
levelled and the game looked destined for a draw
until referee AJ Barker deflected a pass from Jim Howie into the path of Ronald Orr, who
netted into an open goal.
Rovers played the second half with ten men after
Adam Bowman broke a
cheek bone in a collision with Tom Wills; also
losing Jack Dewhurst, who limped off after the
winner.
1910 Notts
County (a)
2-2 (0-1)
Division One
P32, 39pts, 6th/20
Liddell(69), Shepherd(80)

1915 Tottenham
Hotspur (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P31, 25pts, 16th/20
18,000
An insignificant scoreline, but one which saw
inside forward John King keep a clean sheet after
playing in goal for the whole 90 minutes. This
followed an injury sustained by 'keeper Bill Mellor
before kick-off.
1920 Burnley (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P37, 39pts, 7th/22
Kelly(60)
30,000
Newcastle gave a debut to Chris Swan in this
Good Friday visit to Turf Moor, but the hosts took
both points and cemented their hold on second place
- four points adrift of leaders West Bromwich
Albion.
1921 Derby
County (h)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P36, 44pts, 3rd/22
Lyons(90)
35,000
A poor game was settled in the closing seconds
of a play, "when the people were trooping away
from the field" as The Athletic News
reporter noted.
Derby's fifth win of the season would be their last
and they were relegated alongside Bradford Park
Avenue.
1924 Everton (h)
3-1 (2-1)
Division One
P36, 38pts, 9th/22
Gibson(1-1),
Harris(42),
Seymour(73)
Chadwick(16)
12,000
The Toffees
went ahead when Wilf Chadwick shot past Sandy Mutch after
Everton had twice hit the crossbar in the same move.
Willie Gibson then levelled from a free kick before
Neil Harris gave United the lead. Visiting
goalkeeper Alfie Harland was knocked out as he
punched away Stan Seymour's header, colliding with
him as Harris netted.
He was replaced by David Raitt for the last few
minutes of the
first half but recovered to return between
the posts after half time.
However, the goalkeeper failed to cut out a long
cross-shot from Seymour that was deflected into the
net to seal United's first league
win in four games.
1926 Burnley (a)
0-1 (0-1)
Division One
P35, 34pts, 13th/22
McCluggage(20pen)

converting to give Burnley an interval lead, but
Newcastle's Tom McDonald crashing his second half
spot kick against the Clarets crossbar.
1927 Bury (h)
3-1 (2-0)
Division One
P34, 47pts, 1st/22
McKay(14), McDonald(20pen),
Clark(60)
Hughes(53)
20,000
Despite being without Hughie Gallacher due to
international selection, league leaders United
returned to winning ways after a 2-4 loss at West
Bromwich Albion in their previous game.
1928 Gallacher drew a blank as his Scotland
side were beaten 1-2 in front of over 111,000
spectators at Hampden Park.
The visitors were captained by Burnley's Jack Hill,
who had joined Newcastle within six months.
1929 Arsenal (a)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
P37, 38pts, 9th/22
Lang(10), Cunningham(65)
Jack(46)
21,699
Deprived of Hughie Gallacher due to injury,
United were still able to avenge a 0-3 loss to the
Gunners on Tyneside.
Ahead through Thomas Lang's close range finish,
Newcastle conceded just seconds after the interval
when David Jack headed past goalkeeper Mick Burns.
39 year-old Andy Cunningham netted then the second
and final goal of his Magpies career to give the
visitors a fifth Highbury victory in ten post WW1
visits.
1930 Birmingham
(h)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
P34, 28pts, 20th/22
Devine(81)
Morrall(46)
30,000
Newcastle's winless league run was extended to
four matches, but Joe Devine's late leveller
salvaged a point, darkness falling around Gallowgate
as he scrambled the ball over the line.
1932 West Bromwich
Albion (a)
1-2 (0-2)
Division One
P35, 38pts, 9th/22
Allen(53)

victory in five games for United since winning their
FA Cup semi-final.
1934
Middlesbrough (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P38, 31pts, 18th/22
Warren(65)
17,535
The hosts extracted maximum points from a
meeting of two sides on the fringe of the Division
One relegation zone.
Fred Warren's strike from distance won it - the
Welsh international having missed a far easier
chance earlier in the game.
 1938 Plymouth
Argyle (a)
1-2 (1-1)
Division Two
P34, 33pts, 12th/22
Pearson(15)
McNeil(12), Brown

The Pilgrims' opener came when Johnny McNeil met
a corner and propelled both the ball and visiting
goalkeeper Tom Swinburne into the net.
 1945 sunderland (h)
0-3 (0-0)
Wartime
Brown, Spuhler, Whitelum
13,000
Newcastle
gave a debut to Gateshead goalkeeper George Wood and
despite conceding three times, he was almost
immediately secured on a professional contract at
Gallowgate.
Having previously guested for United, Johnny Spuhler
netted for his parent club. Within six months
however, he'd made a permanent switch to
Middlesbrough.
 1949
Blackpool (h)
3-1 (2-1)
Division One
P34, 45pts, 2nd/22
Milburn(14,85), Robledo(30)
Fenton(37)
62,672
United stayed second in the table as Jackie
Milburn eclipsed his England colleagues Stanley
Matthews and Stan Mortensen with a well-taken brace.
However, any faint hopes of overhauling
champions-elect Portsmouth ended when Pompey scored
five goals without reply at Gallowgate four days
later.
Magpies boss George Martin was absent, scouting an
unidentified transfer target at the Lincoln City
versus Blackburn Rovers game.

After a 0-0 draw
five days earlier at Hillsborough, the teams met
again at another neutral ground, this time Elland
Road, Leeds.
With just minutes to play and a second replay looming, Newcastle were
awarded a penalty following handball in the box.
With the nominated spot kick taker Jackie Milburn injured and nobody else willing to take
responsibility, Bobby Mitchell grabbed the ball,
spotted it and converted the winner.

Danish-born winger Benny Arentoft made his
United debut at White Hart Lane, following a transfer from Scottish side Greenock Morton.
Manager Joe Harvey called this his side's "best away performance of the
season" and added that he was "proud of the way we played
football and panicked Spurs at the back."

A point from this rearranged Wednesday night
game lifted Bill McGarry's side into fourth spot -
but had they defended a 92nd minute corner more
effectively then third place was theirs.
Sadly Steve Hardwick could only punch the ball out
to Tristan Benjamin, who lobbed it straight back
over his head to steal a point for the "other" Magpies.

Talk of promotion remained fanciful after this win, but four more
victories in their next five games would put United on the fringe of the
race.
 1985 A
2-0 win over Birmingham City in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final put
United in the driving seat.
Inspiration at St.Andrew's came from Paul Gascoigne and the goals from Joe Allon and Paul Stephenson
- a
resounding 5-2 victory in the second leg
at SJP confirming our place in the final.
 1988
Luton Town (h)
4-0 (2-0)
Division One
P32, 42pts, 11th/21
O'Neill(15,25,81), Goddard(62)
20,565
Having been on the wrong end of a 0-4 away loss
five months earlier, revenge was sweet for United,
young striker Michael O'Neill going one better than
the brace he'd bagged at SJP against Coventry City a
week earlier.
The Hatters had extracted the urine down at
Kenilworth Road and Toon midfielder Kenny Wharton
repaid them in kind here.
"Kenny, Kenny sit on the ball" sang
home fans and he did just that - much to the annoyance of the
Hatters, particularly headband-wearing nugget
Steve Foster. Happy days.

The Magpies remained fourth but were denied three
points after failing to police Villa's gangly new
signing, Peter Crouch. He missed plenty of chances,
but brushed off Nicos Dabizas to net once.

Newcastle's
season imploded in an unbelievable 20 minute spell
at St. James' Park in the second half of this game. Not
only did the wheels come off but the doors and the
roof were also forcibly removed as three home players
were red-carded, with Kieron Dyer and Lee
Bowyer disgracefully grappling with each other in the
middle of the pitch, continuing to clash in the tunnel.
United
fell behind early on when Juan Pablo Angel put the
visitors ahead with a low drive after some sloppy
work from Jermaine Jenas.
Darius
Vassell ran through on goal and his shot was saved
by Steven Taylor's hand, although the defender deserved an
Oscar for clutching his face in mock injury.
Gareth Barry fired a
fierce penalty past Shay Given and it was
soon 0-3 when clueless whistler Barry Knight
judged that Stephen Carr had fouled Vassell, Barry
registering his second and Villa's third again from
the spot. Then
came the Dyer and Bowyer spat that defied belief. By the time Nobby Solano appeared as
a late Villa sub, home fans had either
flounced out in disgust or were too numb to
acknowledge the Peruvian.

Comments
from Chairman Freddy Shepherd as
reported by the Sunday Mirror:
"Our aim is to have the new management
structure in place before the last ball of the
season is kicked.
"We don't want to have uncertainty
lingering on through the close season and we want
supporters and players to finish the season knowing
who will be in charge next August.
"We have taken our time, because this is
one of the biggest decisions in the history of this
club.
"The top clubs are opening up a huge gap
between themselves and others. We need to get the
right man to ensure we are one of those leading
clubs.
"We have had a host of top names
declaring their interest but we have kept them
secret. When the time is right - and that isn't too
far away - we will name the man to lead us into the
future."
And that man...? Glenn Roeder. Another big decision
Freddy got completely wrong. 2009 "We will give it a
right good go" were the words of
newly-installed Newcastle boss Alan Shearer
at his press conference, having taken over for the remaining eight games of the
season, assisted by Iain Dowie.
Shearer
was introduced to the media before going outside to
greet fans mustered in front of Old Milburn
reception.
Somewhat prophetically he commented: "All
I'm interested in is eight games and eight games
only." He was to get his wish....

It wasn't as comfortable as it should have been
but Mick Mcmackem's side left SJP with their tails between their legs after a
sound beating.
Goals from Kevin Nolan and Shola Ameobi gave United a two-goal cushion at
half-time and when Peter Lovenkrands made it 3-0 just after the break
it looked to be game over.
After Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had reduced the arrears though, the jitters set in
until Jonas Gutierrez belatedly struck in added time.

Two equalisers from substitute Aleksandar Mitrovic failed to stop
United tumbling to an eighth successive away defeat after added-time
agony.
It was a tale of two handballs at Carrow Road: one decision in our favour, allowing Mitrovic to make it 2-2 from the spot before City similarly
profited from the use of a hand to win it in added
time.

2018 Premier League basement side West Bromwich Albion
sacked Manager Alan Pardew and his assistant John
Carver after just four months in charge.
Under Pardew's guidance, the Baggies won just once in 18 games, taking only
eight points from a possible 54.
2022 Newcastle U18s won their league
first game of 2022, James Huntley on target in a
1-0 home over Derby County.
Victory combined with results elsewhere lifted Peter Ramage's side off the bottom of the table.
 2023 Manchester United (h) 2-0 (0-0)

Willock(65), Wilson(88)

A deserved success
left Newcastle third in the table, reaching 50 points for the first time in ten top-flight seasons.
Headers from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson ensured a first win over the Red Devils in eight attempts - and
some revenge for the Carabao Cup Final loss at
Wembley a few weeks earlier.

United threw away two points after substitute Paul Dummett gifted
Everton a late penalty at SJP.
A needless wrestling hold by him on Ashley Young
from a harmless Toffees cross saw VAR urge referee Tony Harrington to review the damning footage
at pitchside. Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted from the spot.

Sandro Tonali's astonishing gave United
victory and ended Brentford's sequence of five
successive Premier League away win.
There seemed no danger when the Italian took the ball level with the six
yard box towards the right hand touchline in front of the East Stand, but he
immediately lashed it right-footed past the startled Mark Flekken minutes
after the Bees had equalised from the spot.
