2025/26:
Brighton (a)

Newcastle return to Premier League action on Saturday, when they head to the Amex Stadium - a venue where they are still to be victorious in the top flight.

Eight previous Premier League visits have ended in five draws and three home wins.

The Magpies are winless against the Seagulls in the most recent five league and cup meetings at home and away.

It's an old-fashioned 3pm start, with no live UK TV.

Match ticket holders travel free on trains and buses from 11.30am until 8.30pm in an area bordered by Worthing, Brighton, Haywards Heath, Seaford and Eastbourne.

Team: Jacob Ramsey is expected to return to the squad, but Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento and Yoane Wissa remain unavailable. Lewis Miley is doubtful.

Fabian Schar remains one game away from a double century of Premier League appearances, while Joelinton has made 199 starts in all competitions for United to date. Dan Burn has made 149 league and cup starts for the club.

Coral rate this game as follows:

NUFC win 17/10
The draw 12/5
BHAFC win 8/5

BHAFC:
Solly March, Adam Webster and Jack Hinshelwood remain out but Joel Veltman and Kaoru Mitoma both should return to the squad following injury. Diego Gomez is a fresh doubt after suffering a knock on international duty.

Matt O'Riley is on loan at Marseille while Igor Julio has made a temporary switch to West Ham.

Fabian Hurzeler's side are unbeaten on home turf so far this season, drawing with Fulham (1-1) and Spurs (2-2) and defeating Manchester City (2-1). Adding in last season, Albion haven't lost at the Amex in seven PL outings.

SJP old boy James Milner made his 643rd Premier League appearance in Brighton's last PL fixture at Wolves. That leaves the 39 year-old ten behind record holder Gareth Barry, who played in 653 PL matches.

As a measure of his longevity, Milner played his very first PL game in the colours of Leeds United in November 2002, two days before current Magpie Tino Livramento was born.

Of a rather different vintage is ex-Magpie Yankuba Minteh, who scored in both of his appearances against United last season - once in the PL and once in the FA Cup.

Despite online claims about his fitness, the 21 year-old featured twice for Gambia during the international break.

Referee: Craig Pawson - second appointment this season involving Newcastle after the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa.

The South Yorkshire whistler took charge of last season's visit to Brighton, awarding United no less than three spot kicks, only one of which survived VAR scrutiny.

Premier League:
TV times - derby day

Update: the Premier League blame "complexities" for their failure to announce further fixture changes and say only that those games will be confirmed "as soon as possible."

Earlier: Wednesday saw the Premier League announce some changes to the December fixture list, with three Newcastle games rescheduled for TV as follows:

Tue 02.12.2025 Spurs (h) 8.15pm Sky
Sat 06.12.2025 Burnley (h) 3pm (no live TV)
Sun 14.12.2025 mackems (a) 2pm Sky
Sat 20.12.2025 Chelsea (h) 12.30pm TNT

Although fixtures up to the end of January were due on Wednesday, only those up to Mon 22.12.2025 appeared. There's no word on when the remainder will be released, leaving seven Newcastle games still subject to change:

Sat 27.12.2025 tbc Manchester United (a)
Tue 30.12.2025 tbc Burnley (a)

Sat 03.01.2026 tbc Crystal Palace (h)
Wed 07.01.2026 tbc Leeds United (h)
Sat 17.01.2026 tbc Wolves (a)
Sat 24.01.2026 tbc Aston Villa (h)*
Sat 31.01.2026 tbc Liverpool (a)

The initial fixture release in June didn't list any games on either
December 26th or January 1st, but the PL's only "blackout" days are December 24th and 25th.

On that basis, some PL fixtures are liable to be played on both Boxing Day and New Years Day. 

* Aston Villa's visit to SJP will move from Sat 24.01.2026 due to their Europa League tie on Thu 22.01.2026.

Internationals:
Wissa complication

Following the final round of World Cup qualifiers involving African nations this week, the four sides contesting the play-off tournament next month are now confirmed - and one of them is DR Congo.

Assuming he's fit by then, Newcastle's Yoane Wissa would be in contention for selection when The Leopards travel to Morocco during the November international break.

Semi-finals are set for November 13th when DR Congo play Cameroon, with the winners of that facing either Gabon or Nigeria three days later.

The winner of that then qualify for a further inter-confederation qualification tournament involving six teams in USA/Mexico during next March's international break.

NB: this is all over and above DR Congo's participation in the African Cup of Nations Final tournament, staged between December 21st and January 18th in Morocco.

Theoretically, players can be called up 14 days in advance, but it's anticipated this will be delayed until after Premier League fixtures on and around December 13th.

Whether that could be stretched further to include the Carabao Cup ties the following midweek remains to seen.

Internationals:
Goalden Gordon

Current Magpies receiving country calls:

Anthony Gordon, Dan Burn (England):
Tue 14.10.2025 Latvia (a) won 5-0 WCQ
Three points in Riga were enough to secure a place at the World Cup Finals for Thomas Tuchel's England side.

Anthony Gordon retained his place in the side and netted a solo opener, cutting in from the left side of the area before steering a low right footer into the far corner of the net.

Gordon was withdrawn on 71 minutes when the score was 4-0, club colleague Dan Burn introduced at that point.

Thu 09.10.2025 Wales (h) won 3-0 FR
A 90 minute shift for Gordon at Wembley, beginning on the left flank and finishing up in a  more central position. Fellow Magpie Burn remained unused on the bench, available to club and country despite scans confirming a broken hand.

Sandro Tonali (Italy):

Tue 14.10.2025 Israel (h) won 3-0 WCQ
Another long shift for Sandro as Israel were defeated in Udine, replaced in second half added time after collecting a yellow card.

Sat 11.10.2025 Estonia (a) won 3-1 WCQ
Victory for the Azzurri in Tallinn, with the Newcastle midfielder completing the entire game.

Bruno Guimaraes/Joelinton (Brazil):
Tue 14.10.2025 Japan (a) lost 2-3 FR
Another start for Bruno and a precise through ball to register an assist for his side's opening goal.

Joelinton was named on the bench in Tokyo, replacing his club colleague in the 57th minute with Brazil leading 2-1.

However the hosts hit back to preserve their home record, Joelinton squandering the chance to make it 3-3 in the closing seconds of normal time.

Fri 10.10.2025 South Korea (a) won 5-0 FR
A 79 minute shift in Seoul for Bruno, with his incisive through ball setting up the opening goal. Club colleague Joelinton was an unused substitute.

Leo Shahar (England U19s):
Tue 14.10.2025 Wales (n) won 7-0 FR
An emphatic victory in La Quinta, with full back Leo on the field for the first 67 minutes and withdrawn with his side leading 4-0.


Sat 11.10.2025 Belgium (n) won 4-1 FR
The Newcastle full back was introduced in the 67th minute of Saturday's victory in Marbella with the scoring complete.

Nick Woltemade (Germany):

Mon 13.10.2025 Northern Ireland (a) won 1-0 WCQ
A first international goal for the Newcastle striker gave his side victory in Belfast, converting a 31st minute corner kick from close range with his head and/or arm.

In doing so, Woltemade emulated fellow countryman Didi Hamann, whose only strike for Germany while a Magpie also came at Windsor Park back in 1999.

Big Nick was replaced in second half added time.

Fri 10.10.2025 Luxembourg (h) won 4-0 WCQ
A starting spot for the striker in Sinsheim but no maiden international goal in his 61 minutes of action.

Anthony Elanga (Sweden):

Mon 13.10.2025 Kosovo (h) lost 0-1 WCQ
Another disastrous night for the Swedes, whose chances of World Cup Final qualification are now almost over, following defeat in Gothenburg.

Elanga was introduced as a half time substitute while former Magpie Jon Dahl Tomasson was relieved of his position as Sweden coach hours after the loss.

Fri 10.10.2025 Switzerland (h) lost 0-2 WCQ
More woe for Sweden in Stockholm, with Elanga remaining unused on the bench.

Rory Finneran (Ireland U18s):
Mon 13.10.2025 Switzerland (n) drew 1-1 FR
Rory captained his side to a draw in Pinatar as Ireland concluded their preparations for next month's U17 World Cup Final tournament in Qatar.

Sat 11.10.2025 Poland (n) lost 0-2 FR
Defeat in Pinatar for the Irish youngsters with the United midfielder captaining the side and completing 90 minutes. Poor weather saw the game held back from the Friday.

Odysseas Vlachodimos (Greece):
Sun 12.10.2025 Denmark (a) lost 1-3 WCQ
Defeat for the Greeks in Copenhagen with Vlachodimos returning to the starting line-up.

Thu 09.10.2025 Scotland (a) lost 1-3 Hampden WCQ
The goalkeeper was an unused substitute.


Alex Murphy (Ireland U21s):

Fri 10.10.2025 Slovakia (h) drew 2-2 ECQ
The United defender wasn't called into action in Cork.

Giveaway:
Scarf
compo winner



Following the success of matching buck
et and bobble hats, a Lee scarf has been added to the range of products on offer from Tyneside's own Football Bobbles.

Inspired by United's distinctive 1997/98 season change kit and echoing the current change ensemble, these are available online here
now.

(Anyone purchasing Lee scarves qualifies for reduced prices on Ferdinand scarves and Tino bobble hats - see link above for further details).

We had a Lee scarf to give away and asked what was distinctive about Rob Lee's UEFA Cup hat-trick at Royal Antwerp back in 1994.

Most folks knew that all three goals were headers and the winning entry came from Paul Johnson (the Bristol one).

Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.

The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons, winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.

Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs (h)

United's third home game in a third different competition during a nine day period sees them receive Spurs in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday October 29th.

It's an 8pm kick-off, live on ITV1 and Sky Sports
and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, the tie will be settled by a penalty shootout.

The winners will take their place in the quarter final draw, which will be staged after the full time whistle.

While Newcastle enjoy home comforts for the third successive game, the visitors will complete a trio of away fixtures: trekking to Monaco in the Champions League, Everton in the Premier League and Newcastle. 

Spurs will be back by 4,900 fans - the same away allocation that Bradford City received in the last round. On that basis expect temporary post-match closures of the walking route from the Leazes End to Barrack Road for home fans as was the case against the Bantams (confirmation awaited).

Entering at the Third Round stage due to their European involvement like Newcastle, Spurs made it to the last 16 thanks to a routine 3-0 home win over Doncaster Rovers.

The two sides last faced each other in pre-season, a Harvey Barnes goal giving United a 1-1 draw in the South Korean capital, Seoul on the night that Son Heung-Min ended his decade-long association with the Cockerels.

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.

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.

2025/26 CL away tickets are €50 or less.

On This Day in History
16th October


Born Or Died:

1930 John Ryan born, Alloa, Scotland. 
(1959-60)

A cook at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, John was spotted by a Charlton Athletic scout playing for local village side Bradenstoke at Swindon Town's County Ground. 

Joining the Addicks during late 1954 from Chippenham Town, the forward nicknamed "Buck" after a popular newspaper comic strip averaged almost a goal every other a game in his 63 senior appearances.

Joining Newcastle in March 1959, Ryan made a scoring debut for the reserves in a 6-1 win at Leeds United and hit a hat trick against Sheffield Wednesday a month later at SJP. 

However he was unable to force his way into the Magpies' first team and left in 1960, initially signing for Bristol City.

Making only a handful of appearances at Ashton Gate, John moved on to Bedford Town before becoming a fireman back in Lyneham. 

His death was reported in August 2008.

1986 Chris Shanks born, Ashington. 
(2002-07)

Academy/Reserve defender/ midfielder who began his career with Alnwick Juniors, Bedlington Juniors and Amble Juniors.

Joining Newcastle aged 10, Chris was part of the club's U17 side that won the league title in the 2001/02 season.

Progressing through the U19s, Shanks made his competitive reserve bow in a 2-2 home draw with Darlington during August 2003 - as United began their one season experiment running a second reserve side in the Pontins League. 

Despite signing a four year professional contract in 2004, Chris failed to progress sufficiently and was released in 2007.

Having had trials at both St.Mirren and Hamilton Academical in his final year at SJP, Chris then trained with Carlisle United, Darlington and Stockport County but failed to win a deal.

Joining Blyth Spartans, Shanks later played briefly for Cowdenbeath before returning to the North East with Amble, Ashington, Morpeth Town and Ryton & Crawcrook.

 

What Else?

1880 The first recorded football match took place at St.James' Park, as a Newcastle Rangers Captain's XI faced another side comprising of 15 players.

A game of two hours duration ended in a 6-1 win for Rangers.

1897 Woolwich Arsenal (a)

Shepherd(69pen) 
Rollinson(30,43,89)
15,000
Two goals down at the interval, a strong Newcastle recover saw them reduce the arrears from Albert Shepherd's penalty. 

George Wilson thought he'd netted an 85th minute equaliser only for it to be ruled out for an offside - and Frank Rollinson then complete his hat trick to seal victory for the hosts.

1920 Sunderland (a)

(0-0)
Division One
P10, 14pts, 3rd/22

P11, 6pts, 21st/22

The first top-flight meeting of the sides in 12 years went the way of the hosts, with The Liverpool Echo scribe reporting that:

"Liverpool's superiority was so pronounced that it was almost criminal that they only had two goals to show for it"

1971 Crystal Palace (h) 
1-2
(0-1)
Division One
P13, 8pts, 20th/22 
Dyson(77) 
Tambling(17,53)

P10, 11pts, 9th/22 
Gowling(82) 
Powell(71)
18,083
In-form striker Alan Gowling ensured that United returned from Highfield Road with a deserved point.

Division Two
P10, 12pts, 13th/22 
Keegan(63pen) 
Davis(10,72), Coney(22), Houghton(37)
29,647 
United crumbled before the Match of the Day cameras as Malcolm Macdonald's red-clad Cottagers deservedly won on Tyneside. 

Kevin Keegan scored one dubious penalty to drag his side back into the contest at 1-3 but was then denied by Gerry Peyton from a further even more debatable spot kick at 1-4.

Heavy rain soaked the Vetch Field pitch and caused the postponement of this fixture for 24 hours, meaning that it became our first ever Sunday league fixture.

Ahead through Kenny Wharton, the Swans levelled before David Mills gave the grey-clad Magpies victory and rewarded those Toon fans who stayed overnight.

1984

P11, 16pts, 11th/22 
Allen(46)
Ferdinand(10), B.Allen(50)
33,801 
A towering performance from visiting striker Les Ferdinand, who inspired the R's to victory despite playing on one leg. 

He scored one and made one, while Malcolm Allen hit a memorable volley in between.

Allen then spurned the chance to salvage a point in the last seconds though, Jan Stejskal managing to save his spot kick.

2005 Stephen Carr announced his retirement from international football:

"I have made my decision, and there is no going back for me now. I just feel the time is right to call it a day with Ireland. It was disappointing for the squad, the manager, and the whole country that we didn't qualify for the World Cup."

Less than a year later he turned out for the Republic of Ireland in their Euro 2008 qualifier against Germany....

2006 Newcastle Reserves began their Northumberland Senior Cup defence with a 3-0 win over their Northern Alliance opponents from the East end of Toon, Walker Central. 

Goals from Andy Carroll, Carl Finnigan and Australian James Troisi sealed the victory

N'Zogbia(22,23)

44,415
Fabricio Coloccini's added time header salvaged a point after old boy Charles N'Zogbia had threatened to plunge us into the mire.

Colo headed home a corner after substitute Shola Ameobi had earlier reduced the deficit.

Two disastrous first half minutes had seen Zog inexplicably allowed to head past Tim Krul from eight yards with two defenders helpless.

Seconds later N'Zogbia was afforded time and space to control the ball and shoot home to leave United trailing 0-2 at the break.

Defoe(68)

Strikes from the left boots of substitutes Jermain Defoe and Shola Ameobi left it honours even at SJP as our unbeaten start to the season continued.

United twice came from behind and Demba Ba continued his impressive strike rate with his fifth goal in three games after Rafael Van de Vaart had netted from the penalty spot.

NUFC.com match report
 
2012 Almost a year to the day after they first appeared, the signs erected in a failed attempt to "showcase" the stadium naming rights were disappearing from what always was, is and shall remain, St. James' Park.



2015 It proved to be sixth time lucky for the reserves, recording a first win of the season at Fulham's Craven Cottage.

Second half goals from Gael Bigirimana and Ivan Toney secured a 2-0 success for Peter Beardsley's side.
NUFC.com match report


2017 A 2-6 loss to Southampton at St. Mary's made it six games without a win for Peter Beardsley's reserve side.

0-3 down at the break, Tom Heardman and Jamie Sterry reduced the deficit, but the Saints then added three more goals.

2020
Newcastle completed the signing of defender Bradley Cross following a trial.

The 19 year-old South African had previously been with Schalke 04 following a move from Bidwest Wits in his homeland

2022 Manchester United (a) 0-0 (0-0)
Premier League
P10, 15pts, 6th/20
73,726
Newcastle left Old Trafford with a rare point and even rarer clean sheet, but after dominating the first half when Joelinton hit the goal frame twice in the same move were slightly disappointed not to have won.

A glaring late miss from home substitute Marcus Rashford ensured that the Magpies ended their five match losing run here.
