(h)
Newcastle's opponents
in the FA Cup Third round will be Cardiff City, who are scheduled to
visit SJP over the weekend of January 4th 2014 - although a home tie for the
mackems and consequent policing implications will preclude both sides from
kicking off at 3pm on Saturday.
Our last meeting saw United win 2-1 in Wales back in October, extending our
run of victories against the side formerly known as The Bluebirds to
seven.
City are our final scheduled home opponents of the season next May and their
most recent appearance on Tyneside ended in a 5-1 home success during the
2009/10 Championship season.
Since Malky Mackay took over in June 2011, Cardiff have failed to win in the
FA Cup - exiting in the Third Round at West Bromwich Albion and then
Macclesfield Town.
Third Round Draw:

Aston Villa v Sheffield United

Birmingham City v Bristol Rovers or Crawley Town

No Fergie, no bother:
The History
Boys
Manchester United 0 Newcastle 1
Saturday
7th December 2013 saw Newcastle rid themselves of one of their longest-running
hoodoos by winning at Old Trafford in the league for the first time since
February 1972.
John Tudor and Stewart Barrowclough were the heroes almost 42 years ago but
this time it was Yohan Cabaye who gave The Magpies victory over the reigning Champions
with a deserved 61st minute winner.
On the eve of his third anniversary in charge of United, Alan Pardew chose to
bolster his midfield by drafting in Vurnon Anita in place of Shola Ameobi. And
clad in their Brazilian-styled change kit, the visitors proceeded to dominate
the middle of the park all afternoon.
David Moyes was able to welcome back Robin Van Persie but the out-of-sorts Dutchman caused
his compatriot/ adversary, Tim Krul, very few problems all afternoon. And with Wayne Rooney
suspended the Red Devils misfired badly and we were well-placed to take advantage.
Pardew's instructions were evident from the start, to stifle and frustrate the
home side by denying them space and time - a ploy that worked well in the first
period, reducing Moyes' side to one shot that Krul smothered and a penalty box
scramble that saw Fabricio Coloccini and Mike Williamson block goal-bound
efforts.
After the break, the Red Devils upped their efforts and Patrice Evra had a
header that hit the post before Anita cleared off the line with TV replays
showing the ball hitting his left arm in the process.
But after Howard Webb's anti-Toon performance at Swansea in midweek, decisions were going
in our favour this time as Andre Marriner and his assistants failed to show the
usual Fergie-era Old Trafford bias.
The arrival of Hatem Ben Arfa for Yoan Gouffran posted notice that Newcastle's
intentions were greater than a point and the decisive moment came just after
the hour when Krul's long clearance fell to Moussa Sissoko out on the
right.
He strode forward before pulling the ball back for Cabaye to side-foot past David De
Gea from the edge of the box. Cue pandemonium in one corner of the ground.
Pursued by his colleagues, Cabaye went to ground by the corner flag in front
of the section holding the away fans and was then the unfortunate recipient of
what can only be described as a mass pile-on.
An excellent offside decision by assistant Sian Massey denied Van Persie a
headed equaliser while a few stray crosses whistled close to Krul's goal.
However, the home side created very little of note - Williamson and Coloccini
both in tremendous form - and home fans were starting to drift away from their
seats by the 75th minute.
Our fourth away success of the season came thanks to a host of fine performances;
Cheick Tiote and Anita
giving battling displays in midfield, while Loic Remy led the line effectively and
also contributed admirably in defence.
With one eye on running down the clock, Shola Ameobi replaced Cabaye and
proceeded to frustrate the home side with some fine play to win free-kicks and corners.
Three points lifted Newcastle back up to 6th, although a Spurs victory on
wearside soon returned us to seventh.
However, this fabulous victory puts us firmly on the shoulders of all the Champions League contenders
and looking in great shape heading towards the hectic festive season.
And whatever else comes to pass this season, we'll recall this as the campaign
when a great weight was lifted from our shoulders. Breaking the Stamford
Bridge hoodoo back in 2012 was a momentous occasion, but finally cracking the
curse of Old Trafford was simply astounding.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Krul, Debuchy (Yanga-Mbiwa 83), Williamson, Coloccini, Santon,
Tiote, Anita, Sissoko, Cabaye (Sh.Ameobi 78), Gouffran (Ben Arfa 57), Remy.
Subs n/u: Cisse, Gutierrez, Elliot, Obertan.
Booked: Cabaye, Anita. It was Cabaye's fifth yellow, meaning he will miss the visit
of Southampton.
MUFC: De Gea, Rafael (Valencia 76), Evans, Vidic, Evra, Januzaj, Jones,
Cleverley (Anderson 69), Nani (Zaha 68), Van Persie, Hernandez.
Subs n/u: Ferdinand, Lindegaard, Young, Welbeck.
Goal: Cabaye 61.
Crowd: 75,233, including around 3,000 jubilant Mags, most of whom stayed
well after the final whistle to celebrate wildly.
Referee:
Andre
Marriner.
Alan Pardew:
"It's a long time isn't it?"
"Sometimes when you get victories of this manner it's difficult to digest
straight away and obviously the headlines might be elsewhere, but I hope the
players get credit for their performance.
"I could still hear our fans singing when I was down the tunnel. It's a huge
win for them. I knew our players were very conscious of those 41 years and were determined
to put that right, although it is easier said than done."
Stats:
In emulating Joe Harvey's achievement of winning at Old Trafford in
the league, Alan Pardew broke a sequence of no less than fourteen different
Newcastle managers attempting and failing in that quest:
Gordon Lee, Richard Dinnis, Jack Charlton, Willie McFaul, Jim Smith, Kevin Keegan,
Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit, Steve Clarke, Bobby Robson, Graeme Souness, Glenn
Roeder, Nigel Pearson and Chris Hughton.
(NB: Keegan failed in both spells in charge, while the brief reign of Sam
Allardyce never us play there)

Playing
in a rearranged Friday fixture to accommodate the home side's FA Youth Cup tie
on Tuesday, Newcastle U18s lost for the first time in four games, beaten by a
Rovers side with the leakiest backline in the league.
Blackburn won the last meeting of the sides at Brockhall by the same margin
back in March and while their defence may leave something to be desired,
there's little wrong with their prowess at the other end of the field.
It took just five minutes for the home side to take the lead, Dean
Rittenberg swapping passes with Jordan Preston before shooting beyond Jonathan
Mitchell.
United attempted to reply and Dan Barlaser struck the goal frame before Rovers
extended their lead in the 20th minute, Bradley Bauress pouncing after a
corner wasn't properly dealt with by the visiting defence.
The second half saw a revitalised Newcastle side seize the initiative and keep
goalkeeper David Raya occupied - the Spanish custodian denying both Tom
Heardman and former Rovers apprentice Macauley Booth.
Olivier Kemen's first competitive goal for the club then made it 1-2
with 18 minutes to play; he and Heardman both then spurning chances to level
the contest before two breakaway goals sealed our fate.
First of all Preston shot home, before substitute Sam Joel sealed Blackburn's
second win in twelve league outings and meant that they replaced United in
eighth place.
Team: Mitchell, Drennan, Booth, Gillesphey, Cameron, Roberts (Cobain

Mags
claim double prize
November's gongs for
Manager and Player of the Month have both ended up on Tyneside, with
Newcastle's four match winning streak resulting in recognition for both Alan
Pardew and Tim Krul.
For Pardew it's his first such accolade since February 2006 when he was in
charge of West Ham - failing to collect a single monthly prize despite being
voted the Manager of the season for 2011-12.
And for the club it's their twelfth such award, following five for Kevin
Keegan (Nov 1993, Aug 1994, Feb 1995, Aug 1995, Sep 1995) and Sir Bobby Robson
(Feb 2000, Aug 2000, Dec 2001, Feb 2002, Jan 2003, Oct 2003).
Krul's player award is the eighth for a current Magpie, following on from Rob
Lee (Sep 1994, Nov 1994), David Ginola (Aug 1995), Alan Shearer (Sep 1998, Dec
2002, Oct 2003) and Demba Ba (Dec 2011)
Recognition of a 'keeper is also comparatively uncommon, with Krul's just the
eighth since the award was first given in August 1994 and the first since Mark
Schwarzer of Fulham was selected for February 2010.

Passing:
Jack Shiel RIP
The death of Newcastle's oldest surviving first
team player has been reported by his family, aged 96.
Seahouses-born centre forward Jack Shiel passed away in hospital on November 30th.
Signed from Seahouses in December 1936 for the princely sum of £10, he was a reserve team
regular and debuted in a 0-3 loss at Barnsley
in September 1937 - the sole senior appearance of his
United career.
Released by United the following year, Jack joined North Shields before
returning to the Football League in 1938 with Huddersfield Town.
However he had only one senior game for the Terriers - against Middlesbough in
March 1939 - before being released with the onset of World War II
imminent.
Jack served on a Royal Navy minesweeper during the conflict, later skippering
a Seahouses fishing boat and running tourist boat trips to the Farne Islands
as part of the family business.
U21s:
Foxes visit scheduled
Having been reinstated into the U21 Premier League Cup
after Birmingham City fielded an ineligible player in their 2-1 win over
Newcastle, United's second string have a home tie against
Leicester City in the Round of 16.
That fixture is confirmed as a 7pm KO at Whitley Park on Monday December 30th.
A result must be achieved on the night, via extra time and penalties if
required.

Redevelopment:
Investment confirmed
United have published
plans for a proposed redevelopment of their Darsley Park training ground that
will drastically expand and improve facilities.
Subject to planning consent, work is scheduled to begin in 2015 and take up to
a year to complete, involving the demolition of the present structures on
site.
No precise figure for the cost of the redevelopment has been given other than
a vague "multi-million pound" one, but this represents a significant
investment in the club - something that's slightly surprising given
uncertainty over our long-term goals and ownership.

Ultimate Who's Who
Since publication of the highly-successful "Newcastle
United: The Ultimate Record" back in 2011, club historian Paul
Joannou has been devoting his energies to a sister work, "Newcastle

its predecessors, the 1,750 biographies included also include managers,
administrators and other backroom staff, plus a wealth of unpublished

On This Day in History |
|
9th December |
|
Born Or Died:
1884
Alexander "Sandy" Mutch born,
Inveraray, Scotland.
(1922-24 pl, 1924-58 groundsman/etc)
Goalkeeper who made his Magpies debut at the tender age of 39 after ending
a 12-year association with Huddersfield Town.
During his time as a Terrier, Sandy played in the Terriers side who knocked
United out of the FA Cup in January 1920 - a bit of giant killing in the season
that promotion to the top flight was also achieved.
An FA Cup winner with Town in 1922, a knee injury picked up in the pre-cup final league meeting with Aston Villa
kept him out of our Wembley-winning line up two years later. Returning to the
Magpies side the following season, Mutch was forced into retirement after playing
just twice more for United.
Sandy then took up a post as groundsman at SJP and remained a familiar figure
at the club for the next four decades.
Finally retiring in 1958, Sandy passed away on Tyneside in February 1967.
His son Alec was another SJP stalwart, joining the ground staff as a 16
year-old, coaching the reserves and working as a physiotherapist in a 58 year
career.
1916 Eddie Connelly born,
Dumbarton.
(1935-38).
Left winger who made a goalscoring debut in a 2-0 FA victory at
Walsall in January 1936.
Failing to become a first team regular, Eddie joined Luton Town, with
a further move taking him on to West Bromwich Albion just before the outbreak
of WW2.
His military service included stints in the war leagues with both
Dunfermline and Luton, while a second spell at the Hatters following the
restoration of League football.
Also appearing for Leyton Orient and Brighton & Hove Albion, Eddie settled
in Luton upon his retirement in 1950.
He died in 1990.
1961
Peter Haddock born, Newcastle.
(1978-86)
Undervalued central defender and occasional left back who suffered with
injuries and was eventually forced into retirement by arthritis at the age of
30.
Loaned out to both Dunedin City in New Zealand and Burnley during his time at
SJP, "fish cake" moved to Leeds in 1986 at a cost of £45K.
He
retired while on the books at Elland Road at the age of 30, having made almost
150 appearances before failing to recover from an injury sustained against
Manchester United.
Haddock also scored the only goal of his senior career whilst at Elland Road -
in a home win over Swindon in November 1987.
Granted a testimonial (against Bradford City in March 1994), Peter was
involved in a trophies business locally and last heard of running a sandwich shop in Cramlington (a chip shop would surely
have made a batter story...). Oh dear.
Newcastle coach John Carver is his brother-in-law and Haddock advised
him to take up a coaching job at Leeds in 2005.
1970 Craig Chapman born
Teesside.
(1986-89)
Left back who appeared for both United's junior and reserve sides, but
wasn't offered a professional deal.
Craig's time at SJP was dogged by ill-fortune, as he fought back twice from
suffering a broken leg.

 1967 Manchester United (h)
2-2 (0-0)
Division One
Iley, T.Robson
Kidd, Dunne (89)
48,639
Snow on the Gallowgate pitch couldn't prevent
Newcastle from extending a year-long unbeaten home
record, but that was of little value at the time....
2-0 ahead, the visitors reduced the deficit through Brian Kidd but we looked
like holding on until what proved to be a pivotal
period in the career of 'keeper Gordon Marshall.
What seemed to be a speculative cross from Red Devils left
back Tony Dunne attacking the
Gallowgate end on 89 minutes somehow caught Marshall out
as he watched the ball loop out for a goal kick, only to
agonisingly drop over his head and into the unguarded
goal.
That proved to be Marshall's undoing and he would soon be
replaced between the posts by Iam McFaul.
 1970
Newcastle agreed a £45,000 fee with Burnley for
midfielder Doug Collins and he made his way to SJP to
complete the formalities of the transfer.
However, the deal was
never actually completed after Burnley refused to pay the player
his share of the proceeds.
He later had a brief spell down the road, at Roker Park.
 1972 Southampton (h)

Shoulder, who had moved from Blyth Spartans after coming
to prominence in their FA Cup run the previous season
 1986
A United side were at G-MEX in Manchester to take part
in the annual Guinness Soccer Six Tournament.
Manchester United beat Watford on penalties in the final
that was televised live on BBC's Sportsnight - by which
time our under-performing lot would either be halfway
across the M62 - or in the bar....

United made a substitution as Chelsea shaped to take a free kick - the injured
Shaka Hislop going

Unfortunately his replacement Pavel Srnicek’s first job was to pick the
ball out of the net, as Dan Petrescu duly converted.

European exit as the 1-0 deficit from the first leg in the Stadio Olimpico
ultimately proved enough for the visitors to sneak
through.
In the face of some bare-faced spoiling tactics, United gave it their best efforts
in the closing stages, but the equaliser that would have
brought extra time never arrived.

Ray Parlour completed his hat -trick with the last
kick of a dispiriting Highbury day.
Crestfallen Magpies boss Sir Bobby Robson told reporters:
"We were just smashed. Simple as that.
After Arsenal's first goal went in it was just a
matter of damage limitation. I felt like taking a dose of Night Nurse and looking
for a taxi."

Martins(31,90+3), Taylor(35)
Pedersen(47)
19,225
This
deserved victory made it three straight Premiership wins and
eight unbeaten.Two goals in five
first-half minutes (including Taylor's first for the club)
put United on the road to victory and when Stephane
Henchoz was red-carded on 40 minutes for bringing down
Martins, it looked all over.
However, a spectacular goal
after the interval from former Toon-target Morten Gamst
Pedersen made it a nervy second half until Martins wrapped
up the points in injury time.
Glenn Roeder handed a debut to teenage defender Paul
Huntington, who appeared from the bench in the closing
stages of the game.

2008
Coming into an FA Youth Cup Third Round tie against Oldham
Athletic after eight successive league wins, United's in-form U18s were
strongly fancied to get through.
And with the lower league Latics looking
overawed by playing at SJP, Kazenga LuaLua cracked
home the opener from distance on 21 minutes in front 1,161 fans.
Five minutes after
half-time, though, Oldham got back on level terms as the home defence
backed off Ryan Brooke, allowing him to shoot past Max Johnson in the Gallowgate goal.
The vital breakthrough finally came on 87 minutes when LuaLua burst forward and slotted the ball home
to take the tie 2-1.
 2009
Coventry City (a)

Championship
Ameobi(45), Ranger(82)

United went seven points clear at the top of the Championship
thanks to a goal from the returning Shola Ameobi and a first senior
strike for Nile Ranger at the Ricoh Arena.
Shola turned and fired home in first half added time and
some solid defending and excellent goalkeeping saw United hold that lead until
substitute Ranger forced home a Jose Enrique cross near the end.
