FA
charge #1:
Pardew:
date set
The BBC report that Newcastle manager Alan
Pardew is to appear before a three-man independent Regulatory commission on
Tuesday who will set a punishment for the FA misconduct charge that he has
already admitted.
Pardew's actual charge is one of improper
conduct and as previously confirmed, "due to the serious violent and/or
aggressive nature of the reported behaviour this case has been designated as
non-standard".
FA
charge #2:
Gosling: non runner
From the FA, Monday:
Newcastle United midfielder Dan Gosling has admitted an FA charge in
relation to multiple breaches of Rule E8(b) for misconduct in relation to
betting.
Gosling has requested a personal hearing, the date of which will be set in due
course.
An update from the BBC asserts that the rule breaches Gosling admitted
don't involve betting on either his parent club Newcastle or previous loan
side Blackpool.
The rule in question excludes players from betting on matches or other
events (such as transfer of players, employment of managers, team selection or
disciplinary matters) in which they are participating or have any direct or
indirect influence on.
Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome admitted a similar offence in August
2013 and was fined £50K.
U18s:
Blues
on Tuesday
United's FA Youth Cup Quarter Final tie
against Chelsea takes place at SJP on Tuesday night. Kickoff
is at 7.05pm and admission can be gained by paying at East
Stand turnstiles - Adults £3, concessions £1.
Season tickets/memberships are not valid and in response to a few
queries received, you can't use Magpie Mover transport tickets to
travel to and from this tie.
A crowd of 3,500 attended the last home game in this competition and due to
turnstile congestion, some fans missed the opening 20 minutes of the first
half. If you're going, make sure you get there as early as possible.
As with other rounds in the competition, a result has
to be achieved on the night - via extra time and a penalty shootout if
necessary. There's no provision for replays.
Newcastle' U18s were granted a blank weekend ahead of the tie, but
Chelsea opted to stage a league game on Friday - losing 0-3 at home to
rivals Fulham.
The Blues have made it to this
stage of the FA Youth Cup thanks to victories over Dartford (4-0) and Sheffield Wednesday
(4-1) at their adopted home of Aldershot. They were then followed by 2-0 success
at Cardiff City.
England U17 striker Dominic Solanke netted three in the win over Dartford
and one in each of the other ties for a Chelsea
side beaten by Norwich City in last year's final.
That came after lifting the trophy in 2010 and 2012.
This will be the second meeting of the two clubs in this competition,
following a Fourth Round tie back in 1999, when United drew 0-0
at Stamford Bridge before running out 2-1 winners in the replay at St. James' Park.
Newcastle's Youth Cup campaign this season began with a 2-1 win at
Barnsley, before a 4-0 home beating of the mackems and a 1-0 victory away to
Derby County.
Adam Armstrong has scored in every round for his total of four goals, while
fellow striker Jonathyn Quinn plundered a hat trick in the derby.
Victory over Chelsea would see Newcastle
enjoy home advantage in the first game of a two-legged semi-final tie
against either
Charlton
Athletic, Arsenal, or Everton.
Sixth Round:
Mon 10.03.2014 Arsenal v Everton
Tue 11.03.2014 Newcastle v Chelsea
Wed 12.03.2014 Reading v Liverpool
Tue 18.03.2014 Fulham v Huddersfield Town

Premier
League:
Fulham (a)
Following another enforced weekend off, Newcastle return to action on Saturday
by the banks of the Thames at Craven Cottage. Kick-off is at 3pm.
All 2,900 tickets for the away section have been sold and the adjacent
"mixed area" is now also a sellout.
Having beaten Aston Villa both home and away, victory over Felix Magath's side
would be their second double of the season - and a remarkable eighth win on
the road.
This part of SW6 though hasn't been a happy hunting ground for the club, with
Alan Pardew beaten on all three occasions he's managed us here and United
having lost four in a row since Joey Barton's late penalty conversion stole
three points back in December 2007.
Quite where Pardew will be watching this one remains to be seen, but it won't
be from the visitor's dugout....
NUFC: It's anticipated that Fabricio Coloccini feature after returning from
compassionate leave in Argentina.
News is awaited on the availability of Davide Santon, Loic Remy, Hatem Ben Arfa, Rob
Elliot and Sammy Ameobi.

(NB: quoted odds were accurate at the time of writing, but subject to

FFC:
Former Magpie Damien Duff won't be involved due to a knee injury, while fellow
midfielder Scott Parker is doubtful with the same ailment.
While United had a two week break between games due to Everton's involvement in the FA Cup, the
bottom -placed Cottagers made it nine Premier League games without a win when
losing 1-3 at Cardiff on Saturday.
That means Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League in
their last fourteen attempts.
On home turf this season, Fulham have lost ten Premier League games, winning
three and drawing one. It's no great shock to learn also that their goals
conceded at home tally of 31 is by far the worst in the division.
Beating Stoke 1-0 in October, Villa 2-1 in December and West Ham 2-1 on New
Years Day, they were held 1-1 by West Brom back in September.
Since the first day of 2014 though, Fulham have lost four home games in a row,
with the mackems, Southampton, Liverpool and Chelsea all collecting maximum
points.
And before Christmas, Arsenal, Cardiff, Manchester United, Swansea, Spurs and
Manchester City were also successful on Stevenage Road.
Referee: Howard Webb - who acted as fourth official in United's last
game, at Hull. Webb has taken charge of successive 0-3 losses, at Swansea and
Chelsea.
Last season we lost four out of five games that Webb refereed, the exception a
3-2 home win over Chelsea.

Stats:
With visits to Fulham, Southampton, Stoke, Arsenal and Liverpool still to
come, Newcastle have already notched up seven Premier League away wins this
season.
One more would equal the eight Alan Pardew steered his side to during the
2011/12 season, while our record haul on the road remains nine in both 1993/94
and 2001/02.

A 2-2 draw at Auxerre in Ligue 2 on Friday was achieved without the on-loan

Jonas Gutierrez (Norwich City)
Another blank day for Jonas, who missed the Premier League visit of Stoke City
on Saturday. Since moving to Carrow Road, he's made just two

Mehdi Abeid (Panathinaikos)
A resounding 4-1 home win
over Aris in the Greek Super League on Saturday featured 21 year-old Mehdi,
who is under contract at Gallowgate until 2016.
Shane Ferguson

An injury to left back Mitch Hancox gave Fergie his first Championship
start since November. However he was unable to prevent QPR posting a 2-0 win
at St.Andrews, lasting 73 minutes before being replaced.
Curtis Good
(Dundee United)
The hip problem that afflicted Curtis on
his senior debut for Australia on Tuesday ruled him out of
Sunday's Scottish Cup trip to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Despite his absence though, the Tangerines roared to a 5-0 victory and now take
their place in the Semi-Final draw. That leaves the tantalising possibility of
a second Cup Final outing for Curtis, following his appearance at Wembley for
Bradford City in last season's League Cup.

Premier League:
Get
Mike off the mark!
An otherwise unremarkable Tuesday in August
2009 has taken on added significance for Mike Williamson, with each
passing year extending his personal goal drought.
The thirteenth and most recent strike of the defender's career came for Watford
in a 4-2 Championship success against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground over
four years ago, shortly before his move to Tyneside.
Since then there have been near misses, blocks on the line and strikes against
the goal frame - plus two OGs at the other end (in FA Cup ties at Stevenage and
Brighton) ...but that duck remains resolutely unbroken.
In all competitive matches, it's now 128 games since Willo last got on
the scoresheet - all but two of those coming in the colours of Newcastle.
And counting only Premier League appearances for United, Hull marked the 93rd
barren game that Mike has featured in, extending his lead on previous club
rivals Jose Enrique (85), Alan Smith (52) and Peter Ramage (51).
He's still got some way to go if he's claim the all-time NUFC club record
however:
Bobby Cowell (1943-56) 409
Alf Maitland (1924-30) 163
James Nelson (1930-35) 160
Tony Whitson (1906-19) 146
Dave Davidson (1930-37) 145
Andy McCombie (1904-10) 131
Just like the scenes that greeted Bob Moncur and Frank Clark when they
eventually found the net, Willo's long overdue first goal will be celebrated to
the rafters.
(All stats refer to outfield players only, obviously).

internationals:
Curtis Good (Australia)
Named in the starting XI by coach Ange Postecoglou, the Magpies defender made his senior international bow
in a memorable game against Ecuador at Millwall's New Den.
3-0 up at the break, Australia were reduced to ten men soon after when
their goalkeeper was red carded. Good was replaced on 66 minutes with the
Socceroos holding a 3-2 advantage, but Ecuador ultimately won it 4-3.
Reflecting on his debut, Good said:
"You dream about it
your whole life - it’s the absolute highlight of my career. I felt so
confident out there. I thought as a unit we were brilliant but at 3-0, you
should never lose a football match - when you go to 10 men it’s always hard.
"It’s just unfortunate
circumstances but we’ve got to take positives from it. We were brilliant in
the first half and we’ve got to build on that.
"I did something to my hip. Hopefully
it’s OK. Personally for me having to come off was disappointing.”
20 year-old Curtis became the fourth Newcastle player of the Premier League
era to represent Australia, following on from Mark Viduka, Craig Moore and
James Troisi.
Mathieu Debuchy,
Loic Remy, Moussa Sissoko (France) Debuchy
was named in the starting XI for a 2-0 win over the Netherlands in Paris,
being replaced three minutes from time. Remy was introduced from the bench after 67
minutes and Sissoko followed on 81 minutes.
Shane Ferguson (Northern Ireland)
A 0-0 draw with Cyprus in Nicosia saw Fergie introduced as a 73rd minute
substitute by coach Michael O'Neill.
Papiss Cisse (Senegal)
It finished 1-1 against Mali in Paris - Cisse featured but failed to
score, reportedly hitting the bar and missing a further chance set up by
ex-Magpie colleague Demba Ba.
Cheick Tiote (Ivory
Coast)
A 2-2 draw with Belgium
in Brussels saw the Newcastle midfielder play the full game and collect a 91st
minute yellow card.
Shola Ameobi (Nigeria)
A crowd of 68,000 filled the Georgia Dome in the US city of Atlanta to see
the Super Eagles draw 0-0 with Mexico.
The Magpies striker was an unused substitute.
(The Argentina squad for a friendly against Romania in Bucharest
didn't include Fabricio Coloccini, none of United's Dutch trio were
selected for the French game in Paris and injury saw Rob Elliot withdraw from
the Ireland squad for a kickabout against Serbia in Dublin).
Youth call-ups:
Michael Newberry (Northern Ireland U19)
Tue 04.03.2014 v Switzerland (Belfast) lost 0-3
Thu 06.03.2014 v Switzerland (Dungannon) drew 2-2
Olivier Kemen (France U18s)
Wed 05.03.2014 v Germany (Lubeck) won 3-1
U21s:
Away
to the Bay
Newcastle confirm that they have agreed to concede home advantage in their Northumberland Senior Cup
semi-final tie against Whitley Bay.
Accordingly, the Seahorses will host United U21s at Hillheads on Monday
March 17th. Kickoff is 7.30pm.
This decision was announced following the Northern League's home game against
Crook Town, Magpies coach Peter Beardsley among those
present for a 1-1 draw.
Last year's finalists Bay last faced United in the Senior Cup at the same
stage in 2010, running out 3-1 winners over a side including Paul Dummett in
front of 774 fans.
The other semi-final sees Ashington face Blyth
Spartans at Woodhorn Lane on Tuesday March 18th (7.30pm).
NB: The rules of this competition dictate that if scores are level after 90
minutes, then a replay is staged.

Harriers
dump boss
After
less than two months in the job, Andy Thorn has been sacked as
Kidderminster Harriers manager after a disastrous run of results by the
Conference club.
Ex-Magpies defender Thorn took charge at Aggborough early in 2014 and earned
praise after his new side were beaten 0-1 by the mackems in the FA Cup.
However a run of just one win in seven league games coupled with a change
of chairman saw Thorn ousted - a 1-5 defeat at a
Cambridge side managed by Toon old boy Richard Money ultimately sealing his
fate.

Coxy's Cockup Corner |

Whoops, He did it Again... |
From the Daily Mail:
“Hull
were generous to a fault, even into injury-time, when substitute Ryan
Gosling and Paul Dummett combined to present Anita with his first Premier
League goal.”
Rather
than an assist, surely he should have been nominated for a best supporting
role?

What's this all about then?

On This Day in History |

10th March |

Born Or Died:
1968
Pavel Srnicek born, Ostrava, Czech
Republic. (1991-98 & 2006)
One of a small number of players to win a permanent contract and become a
first team regular after turning up on trial at United.
Arriving in January 1991 initially for a
month, Srnicek appeared for the reserve side and was then signed at a cost of £350K from
hometown side Banik Ostrava.
Former soldier Pav had begun his playing career with army sides Dukla
Tabor and Dukla Prague and was capped at U21 level.
Although signed by Jim Smith, Srnicek's first team debut came for
newly-appointed boss Ossie Ardiles, in a 1-0 home victory over Sheffield
Wednesday in April 1991.
Becoming a popular figure with fans and players alike, Pav was to remain
at SJP and played under both Kevin
Keegan and Kenny Dalglish for the following six seasons.
His time in Toon drew to a close though in the 1997/98 season following
the arrival of Shay Given and Pav had just one senior outing, at home to
Blackburn Rovers when Given was away on international duty.
Confined to a non-playing substitute role thereafter, he lost out to
Shaka Hislop for the bench spot at Wembley in the FA Cup Final defeat
that year (he did appear for United in the Charity Shield at that
venue).
A brief return to Banik was followed by spells at Sheffield Wednesday,
Italian sides Brescia and Cosenza, then back in the UK with Portsmouth
and West Ham - always well -received when playing against Newcastle.
Leaving Upton Park in 2004, Srnicek had an unsuccessful trial at
Coventry before moving to Portugal with Beira Mar.
And it was a case of "Pavel is a Geordie" again in
October 2006 when injuries to Tim Krul, Shay Given and Steve Harper
caused then-boss Glenn Roeder to bring the free agent back to SJP on a short-term
deal.
Pav duly made his
150th league appearance for Newcastle - some nine years after the 149th -
when appearing as substitute for the last three
minutes of the 3-1 home victory over Spurs just before Christmas
2006..
He then made a full appearance in the next
game away at Bolton on Boxing Day, but was involved in a mix-up with Peter Ramage that
unfortunately led to the Trotters equalising.
Pav remained at SJP for the rest of the season but wasn't called upon
again for first team duty (although he did appear twice for the reserve
side).
After a short spell as a freelance goalkeeping coach in the North East, Srnicek
returned to the Czech Republic and became involved in youth coaching back at
Banik Ostrava.
January 2012 then saw him appointed as the goalkeeping coach at Sparta Prague,
earning a great ovation when returning to SJP in September 2013 to
feature in the Steve Harper testimonial match.

Wildly varying weather (snow, rain,
sunshine) and a 4-0 lead
for United within the first half hour. The visitors hit back to make it 4-2 before United hit three
more. Even then, Villa hit three late goals to make it 7-5, this after

Hornets 'keeper Tony Coton was at the centre of much controversy,
looking to have retrieved a Mick Quinn effort after it had crossed his line.
However, the myopic linesman wasn't up with play
and failed to indicate a legitimate goal, which would have brought a
fourth successive victory for Jim Smith's side.
 1992 Cambridge United (a) 2-0 (2-0)

Peacock, Kelly

The third-placed U's could have gone top had they won this, but after

amends to claim three vital points.

Kevin Keegan handed debuts to his twin signings of Scott Sellars and Mark
Robinson, as United looked to build on the previous Saturday's 5-1
trouncing of Brentford at SJP.
Things look promising when Lee netted against his old club
within a minute, but Garry Nelson and Carl Leaburn ensured honours ended
even.

They said it couldn't happen again but for the second successive
season, United fell by the odd goal in seven at Anfield with the winner coming in the last
seconds.
Those present at both failed to share in the delight
of Sky and the rest of the nation, while an alleged Toon fan
that threw his shirt at Kenny Dalglish on the touchline as we went 0-3 down in an appalling first
half, didn't seem too impressed either....

Our favourite Stockton Lardarse official (Jeff Winter) gave us a
penalty that no-one else had spotted.
However, TV replays showed that
Richard Gough had tugged Alan Shearer's shirt and Shearer gratefully
dispatched the spot kick.
Forest's Gateshead-born winger Steve Stone then crossed for Dougie
Freedman to head home within seconds of the restart.
Gough then limped off for the home side, who were reduced to ten men
just five minutes into the second half, when Mathieu Louis-Jean bundled
over Didier Domi.
Having struck a post from distance, United midfielder Didi Hamann then
cracked a 35 yard
thunderbolt that was still rising as it whizzed past Mark Crossley.
2003 A crowd of
1,138 were at Kingston Park for a 1-1 draw against Liverpool Reserves.
Stephen Warnock put the Reds ahead in the first half, but a neat
finish from Andy
Ferrell near the end salvaged a point.

2004 Newcastle
reserves lost their grip on the
Northumberland Senior Cup in spectacular fashion with a 0-4 thumping at the Dr. Pit Welfare ground by Bedlington Terriers.James Lang did the damage with
two early goals, before former Magpie trainee John Milner made it 3-0
early in the second half. Martin
Brittain then put through his own goal in the closing minutes of
the tie.
United had to play the last 10
minutes a player short after Carl Finnigan left the field with all
three subs already used.

An amazing night in Athens as United scored three times against Olympiakos who had won all of
their previous European games without conceding.
And for most of the game Newcastle faced
just nine men with the Greeks having Grigoris Georgatos and
Ieroklis Stoltidis red-carded in an eventful first half which also saw
a penalty for either side.
Away fans rubbed salt into
the wounds of the home support at full time by singing "Happy
Birthday" on what should have been an 80th anniversary
celebration for their club.

2007
Newcastle's U18s kept their
hopes of a FA Youth Cup final appearance just about alive, following a
2-4 home loss to
Liverpool in the first leg of their semi-final.
Twice being three
goals behind at SJP, United fought back in a game that was a reverse of the
first team's UEFA Cup win over AZ Alkmaar game at SJP just a few days earlier.
Midfielder Charlie Barnett put the Reds ahead and was return to United on
trial the following pre-season. The Magpies netted through Andy Carroll
and an own goal.
2008
A 3-1 win over
Blackburn Rovers at Morecambe's
Christie Park gave United's reserve side back to back victories for
the first time that season. Scorers were Wesley Baheng, Andy Carroll and
Jonny Godsmark.

2009 United's
reserves were denied what would have been a fourth consecutive league

Ferriby United.
