£10 available online

Premier League:
Manchester United (a)
Newcastle's first
festive fixture sees them head to Old Trafford for an 8pm
kick-off on Boxing Day (Friday).
Following a 2-0 win there in December 2024, Eddie Howe's side are
looking to record back to back away victories against Manchester
United for the first time since 1935.
Howe takes charge of the Magpies for the 200th time in all
competitions and had this to say ahead of that landmark:
"My glass is very much half full. I know everyone else
might have a different opinion, but I feel we're improving.
"We have been moving in the right direction, but we have got
lots of work to do to be the team that we ultimately want to be and
that's consistently winning.
"That's what's eluded us this season - the ability to put
winning runs together, which is the defining thing we need to do."
On the Gordon penalty call v Chelsea:
"A call has already gone in (to the PGMOL). We just want to
know the thought process behind the decision."
The game will be live on Sky Sports.
Team: Speaking to the media on Tuesday, the Magpies boss
hinted at early involvements for both Tino Livramento and Sven
Botman, but without pinpoint their return games.
Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Emil Krafth and William Osula remain out.
Bruno Guimaraes has four PL bookings: a fifth against Manchester
United or Burnley will prompt a one game ban.
Coral rate this game as
follows:
NUFC win 11/5
The draw 27/10
MUFC win 11/10

MUFC: Kobbie Mainoo, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are
all injured while AFCON call-ups mean Bryan Mbeumo,
Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui will all be missing.
Casemiro is available following suspension.
Sunday saw Ruben Amiron's side lose 1-2 at Aston Villa - their tenth
successive failure to record a clean sheet.
Bruno Fernandes failed to return for the second half at Villa Park
after sustaining a hamstring injury and he's expected to miss our
visit.
At home this season in the Premier League, the Red Devils have won
four (Burnley, Chelsea, mackems and Brighton, drawn two (West Ham
and Bournemouth) and lost two (Arsenal and Everton).
Home goals scored & conceded (16-12) mirrors Newcastle's - although
the Magpies have played one more game (nine).
Referee: Anthony Taylor - first NUFC appointment of the season
for the Cheshire-based whistler, who is an avowed Altrincham fan and
former club director. Now on the FIFA list, Taylor was a prison
officer when a part-time official.
He oversaw three games last season involving us: the 3-1 PL win at
Forest, 3-0 home conquest of Aston Villa and 1-2 defeat to Brighton
in the FA Cup at SJP.

Press release from Liverpool FC, Monday, confirming that their
former Magpie won't be in the home line-up when Newcastle visit

After diagnosis, an operation was completed today on an ankle
injury that included a fibula fracture.
Isak's rehabilitation will now continue at the AXA Training
Centre, with no timeframe yet placed on his return.

Premier League:
Truly Madley awful:
a tale of indecision
Saturday’s game against Chelsea was another in a long line of
inadequate officiating that has seen VAR and the PGMOL plunging
Premier League football into paralysis.
Andy Madley was the latest of Howard Webb’s whistlers seemingly
incapable of making onfield decisions, unsupported by VAR officials
unable to contradict their partners in crime’s uncertainty.
Madley appeared to be the only person in St. James' Park who
couldn’t see that Trevor Chalobah’s challenge on Anthony Gordon was
a penalty, until his colleague in Stockley Park, Peter Bankes backed
up his indecisiveness. The laughable phrase “side-to-side shielding”
being an apt description of one ref looking after another.
How Bankes was allowed to be the VAR official for Newcastle in the
game following his derby blunders is another mystery that only Webb
can answer.
But whether it was Andy Madley, Bankes, Sam Barrott or Craig Pawson,
it matters not; they have all become rendered completely useless by
a system that encourages vacillation.
Madley bottled every decision on Saturday, whether it be tackles or
handballs in or out of the box, persistent fouling, disgraceful
dissent or the pathetic injury feigning of Cole Palmer. All he did
was fail to blow his whistle and point to his ear.
That wouldn’t be so bad if the VAR official was capable of pointing
out the blindingly obvious, but they have now been directed not to
make a decision that may undermine their pals.
So we have referees that defer to VAR rather than make onfield
judgements and those in a TV studio hundreds of miles away also left
ineffectual by a “clear and obvious" bar made so high that they are
frightened to ask the match referee to review their own
incompetence.
And it’s not just those with the whistle or VAR that can’t make
decisions, linos are also now unable to flag for offside just in
case a goal may follow a passage of play, even when they are 99%
certain a player is offside.
That 1% is enough because VAR may determine that a single frame of
footage could show that body parts may freakishly align to show
players are actually onside. The phrase “matters of fact” is wrongly
used about offsides.
For example, to all eyes in the stadium, Harry Kane was “a mile off”
when he scored at SJP in Steve Bruce’s final game in charge but a
random frame was found to show he wasn’t.
Alexander Isak was clearly
onside in his Newcastle debut at Anfield but a terrible camera angle
and a thick Red line arbitrarily drawn wrongly showed he was
offside.
Well done to the FA and Howard Webb for totally destroying our game.
Your ineptitude knows no bounds....

Newcastle's two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against
Manchester City will be played as follows:
Tue 13.01.2026 (h) (8pm) Sky & ITV

* Moves to 8.15pm if Crystal Palace are in the other SF.
United will be at home first on Tuesday 13.01.2026 (8pm),
That second leg comes less than three weeks before the
sides meet in the Premier League at the Etihad, United
having beaten City 2-1 at Gallowgate in November.
This is the sixth time that City and United have been
paired in the League Cup and the first occasion since
September 2023, when the Magpies won 1-0 on Tyneside.
Newcastle's 2-0 away success in October 2014 meanwhile
remains our only league or cup victory at that venue:

2023/24 R3 won 1-0 (SJP) Isak
2025/26 SF

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.
The 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 get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History |

23rd December |

Born Or Died:
1929 Ronald
Harbertson born, Redcar.
(1949-50)
Amid interest from
Manchester United and Aston Villa, Newcastle signed right
winger Ron from North Shields in January 1949.
Formerly with Sheepwash Juniors and the mackems as an
amateur, his reserve bow came just days later in a Central
League game against Leeds United at SJP.
However United opted not to retain Ron at the end of the
1949/50 season and he left without featuring for the first
team.
Joining Bradford City on
a free transfer, he became a regular starter for the
Bantams.
1954 found Harbertson on the move to Grimsby Town and he
later appeared for Ashington,
Darlington, Lincoln City, Wrexham, Darlo (again) and
Lincoln City (again).
Joining non-league Grantham Town in 1962, Ron played on
until the end of the 1967/68 season, by which time he was
a defender.
Having worked down the pit while playing football, he
became a prison officer upon playing retirement and later, caretaker of a shared housing development.
Ron died during August 2025.
1952 Alex Bruce born, Dundee,
Scotland.
(1974-75)
Ginger-haired Scottish striker who joined
Preston North End in 1968 as an apprentice before turning
professional in 1970.
Breaking into the first team by 1972 and scoring
regularly, Newcastle paid £150K in January 1974 and
Alex debuting in a 1-3 loss at Southampton the following
month.
Marking his first appearance at SJP in the following game
by scoring against Coventry City in a 5-1 win, Bruce was
also capped by Scotland at U23 level.
However, he failed to break up the John Tudor/Supermac
striking partnership and
returned to Deepdale in August 1975 - with centre back
John Bird coming the opposite way in part exchange.
Alex became a PNE legend thanks to a prolific goalscoring
record that was exceeded only by the great Tom Finney and
pre-war forward Tommy Roberts.
Moving on to Wigan Athletic in August 1983, a knee injury
him into retirement after two seasons and he remained at
Springfield Park to coach the 'Latics reserve side.
Bruce later worked as an Operations Manager for Ribble
Council and remained living in the Preston area.
1983 Rocky Michael Chopra born,
Newcastle. (2002-06)
A prolific scorer at junior and reserve
level for Newcastle, things rarely went to plan for Chops
when he appeared in the first team.
Making his debut from the bench in a home League Cup tie
against Everton in November 2002, he missed a vital spot
kick in the penalty shootout that settled the tie.
Loaned to Watford later that season he netted four times
in a 7-4 Hornets victory at Burnley before returning to
SJP - and then became the 100th player to represent the
Magpies in the Premier League.
Getting back into the Newcastle team late in 2003, Chops
then saw a perfectly good goal against Blackburn Rovers at
SJP chalked off.
Joining Nottingham Forest on loan, he failed to net in
five games for them but returned to United again to
feature in the final two matches of the season.
2004/05 saw Michael spend the season with League One side
Barnsley, scoring 17 times and impressing at Oakwell.
Back at SJP for one appearance, the next season saw him
finally score for us, albeit in the Intertoto Cup game
away to Dubnica.
Injury then caused him to leave the field in the home leg
within minutes of coming on - when a first home goal
looked inevitable.
That season then saw him used by Souness - and keep him
his job with a goal in the FA Cup at Cheltenham - before
memorably coming off the bench at the Stadium of Plight to
net within seconds for United, setting on the road to a
4-1 success.
June 2006 saw him sign for Cardiff City after leaving SJP
under freedom of contract, before agonising over an offer
to join Roy Keane's mackems in a £5m transfer, one year
on.
After early success the goals dried up and personal
problems plagued the striker, who took the chance to
return to Ninian Park on loan in November 2008.
Returning to the mackems at the end of the year, Chopra
made two appearances for them - the latter of which was a
1-1 draw in the Tyne-wear derby when he missed a late
chance to win the game.
Within 24 hours of that game he was back on loan at
Cardiff, with a permanent transfer concluded in July 2009
at a cost of £3m.
Chops then duly became the first player to
score a competitive goal at the Bluebirds' new stadium,
netting in an opening day victory against Scunthorpe
United.
The 2010/11 season then saw him linked with a possible
call-up to the Indian national side, although the
regulation requiring all players to hold Indian passports
looked to end his hopes of playing in the Asia Cup.
Chopra moved to Portman Road in June 2011, signing for
Ipswich Town and later in the year he revealed his massive
gambling addiction, explaining his move to the dark side
as helping to pay off his debts.
In October 2012 Chopra was one of three footballers
charged by the British Horseracing Authority over an
investigation into "suspicious betting
activity". Former Toon colleague James Coppinger was
also charged, along with ex-Manchester United player Mark
Wilson.
He signed a one year deal at Blackpool in July 2013 but
failed to net in 20 games for the Seasiders and was
released in Summer 2014.
Chopra then turned up at newly-formed side Kerala Blasters
in the inaugural Indian Super League season, helping them
to the final (although not scoring) where they were beaten
by Atletico Kolkata.
March 2015 saw Michael join Alloa Athletic for the
remainder of the season after spending time training with
Port Vale.
And he agreed a further one season deal to remain at
Recreation Park for the 2015/16 campaign before returning
to Kerala and retiring in 2016.

A dull day at Goodison but a lively game, with the out

Ernie Taylor reduced the arrears and more Newcastle
pressure saw George Hannah shoot narrowly over just before

However the Toffees resisted waves of attacks after the

Jim Smith's Rams boosted their relegation survival
chances with a deserved win, both goals stemming from
Craig Burley crosses.
An aghast Sir Bobby Robson likened
his side's display to that of a car crash:
"Derby played very well, but they scored from two
set-pieces, which has annoyed me intensely.
"We talk about it, practice it in training but we still
can't do anything about it. All I want is for my players
to be alert, to be alive, and to be bright.
"If you're careless driving a car you get killed, so
don't be careless on a football pitch.'

A second successive 3-1 home

netted three after just over half an hour.

Another late goal, coming from behind twice and two

performance against an awful Championship-bound side.
Having
beaten us earlier in the season this draw extended Derby's

Newcastle marked their London Stadium debut with a
first win in ten games, taking them out of the bottom
three.
Victory was all the more improbable, given that Henri
Saivet gifted the Hammers an early present before
unexpectedly levelling with a fabulous free-kick.
In an amazing second half, Mo Diame put the Magpies ahead,
Rob Elliot saved Andre Ayew's penalty and Christian Atsu then made it
3-1.
When Ayew got one back - after old boy Andy Carroll came
off the bench - it was easy to fear the worst but
Newcastle held out.
