move mooted:
Campbell:
no decision
Monday brought reports in the Scottish press
that a loan deal taking Adam Campbell to SPFL side St. Mirren in the
new year was close to being formalised.
The teenage forward celebrates his 19th birthday on New Years Day and United
are keen for Campbell to increase his senior team experience, having playing
just once this season during an ill-fated loan spell at Carlisle United.
However St.Mirren aren't the only side to have expressed interest in a
temporary switch for Campbell, with several clubs on both sides of the border
also in contention.
Since making five appearances for United in League and Cup last season,
Campbell's involvement for The Magpies has been restricted to friendlies and
U21 games.

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.

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 included a fixture there)

Another poor day for the Tangerines, who were beaten 1-5 at Derby County in

receiving a yellow card.

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
70), Kerridge (Storey 70), Kemen, Barlaser, Quinn, Heardman. Subs n/u:

claim double prize
November's gongs for
Manager and Player of the Month both ended up on Tyneside, with
Newcastle's four match winning streak prompting 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 six for 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.

On This Day in History |

10th
December |

Born Or Died:
1872 Billy Lindsay
born, Stockton.
(1898-1900)
 Right
back who had briefly featured for Everton before joining Grimsby Town in 1894,
becoming captain and a kingpin of the Mariners side over the next four years.
Tempted to Tyneside in February 1898, Billy debuted in a 3-0 home win over
Lincoln City later that month and captained United in the top flight the
following season.
The first of two stints with Luton Town came in 1900 - sandwiching a spell
with Watford - before Lindsay wound down his career at Hitchin Town, retiring
in 1909.
Remaining in the Luton area, Billy passed away in February 1933.
1926 John Duncan born, Glasgow.
(1950-53)
Defender acquired from Ayr United who played his initial
games for the Magpies at full back before being
converted to a striker.
Making his debut in a 2-1 victory at Preston North End in September 1951, a knee injury curtailed his career and he was forced to
retire in 1953 - after making a brief attempt at
continuing as a goalkeeper!
Returning to Ayr, Duncan later ran a road haulage business.
1990 Kazenga LuaLua
born, Kinshasa, DR Congo (2005-11)
Reserve and Academy striker who made his senior debut as
a substitute, replacing Damien Duff in our FA Cup Third
round tie at Stoke in January 2008.
He then made four more appearances from the bench in the
remainder of that season - one under the caretaker
stewardship of Nigel Pearson and the others for Kevin
Keegan.
That season ended with him scoring in the Northumberland
Senior Cup Final against Blyth at SJP with a rocket shot
to earn extra time for his side. He then scored in the
subsequent penalty shootout that saw his side claim the
silverware.
Injury disrupted his pre-season preparations and he
broke down again in a reserve friendly against Newcastle
Blue Star, ruling him out for almost four months.
A return to the reserve side was followed by an
appearance for the U18s in the FA Youth Cup and Kazenga
netted both goals in a 2-1 success over Oldham Athletic
at SJP just hours before he turned 18.
Kazenga went to Doncaster on loan at the end of the
2008/09 season, appearing four time for Rovers in the
Championship.
He was back on Tyneside for the start of our
Championship campaign and appeared off the bench for our
home victory over Reading and made two Carling Cup
appearances against Huddersfield and Peterborough.
Another loan move took him to the South Coast and he
made a good impression at Brighton in 11 League One
appearances.
Last season he featured in our Carling Cup victory at
Accrington but was then sent back to Brighton on loan
where he made 11 more appearances, scoring four times,
before suffering a broken ankle during a defeat at
Hartlepool.
Another loan spell on the South coast in 2011 was
eventually made into a permanent move, joining the
Seagulls in November.
Having previously been wrongly described as the cousin
of our old boy Lomana, he's now confirmed to be his
brother.

1991 Bradden Inman born, Adelaide, Australia (2005-13)
Midfielder who moved to England with his family to pursue a dream of becoming a
professional footballer, first appearing for the Magpies as a schoolboy.
Breaking into the Academy U18 side in 2007, his reserve debut came in
September 2008 against Sheffield United in a 0-3 Central League Cup defeat at
Whitley Park.
Given a choice of international call-ups due to parentage, Brad opted to
represent Scotland and debuted in an U19 friendly against France in February
2009.
That came a month after some mature displays were rewarded with a non-playing
substitute role in United's Premier League game at Manchester City.
He then made the bench for the Carling Cup tie at Peterborough in
September 2009, starting for Newcastle's senior side in their opening
pre-season game of the 2010/11 season, away to Carlisle United.
And soon after that, a first appearance for Scotland's U21 side came in a
friendly against Sweden staged at St. Mirren.
However, a training ground accident early that season left him on crutches for a
time, Brad marking his comeback in late October by scoring twice for the U18
side.
He was then selected again by Scotland U21s, coming up against his Newcastle
colleagues Shane Ferguson and Patrick McLaughlin in a friendly against Northern
Ireland played at Partick Thistle.
Brad got both goals against Ashington in a Northumberland Senior Cup tie just
before his 20th birthday and then scored in reserve league games against both Wigan and
Manchester United.
After some impressive performances for the Reserves in 2012/13 - scoring seven
times in ten appearances - he went out on loan to League One side, Crewe
Alexandra, and after just 49 minutes of his league debut he netted in a 3-1 win
against Preston, two days before turning 21.
His loan was extended twice until the end of the season and after turning down
a contract offer from Newcastle he joined the Railwaymen permanently in August
2013.

Magpie boss Arthur Cox
dispensed with the services of alleged striker Billy Rafferty, who signed
for Portsmouth in an £80,000 move.
He would go on to win a Division Three champs medal at Fratton Park,
achieving promotion from that league for the second time in his career,

United had departed from the Champions League with

end the campaign.
Stuart Pearce celebrates
his spectacular strike 2002
Torrential rain caused the Champions League group game against Barcelona
to be postponed - but only for 24 hours. Thousands of United fans
managed to extend their trip by a further day to see the game go ahead the
following evening. 2003
A see-saw game in the Pontins
League provided rich entertainment for a handful of shivering
spectators at Bootham Crescent on a Wednesday afternoon.
However, despite making it seventeen goals scored in our last
five matches, it was the home side who brought our four-match
winning run to an end with a decisive late strike as the mists
descended.
We'd earlier recovered from being two goals down within the
first eight
minutes before we'd even crossed the halfway line to level by the
interval - Chopra's shot and Ferrell's penalty bringing us back
to 2-2.
And when Bradley Orr put us in front shortly after the break
things looked promising, but we failed to increase that lead and
were made to pay as the Minstermen broke away twice to claim the
victory.

 2005 Arsenal
(h)
1-0 (0-0)
Premiership
Solano(82)
52,297
A fully-committed blood and guts
performance won three precious points against a faltering Gunners side who had Gilberto Silva red-carded. Nobby Solano's
strike gave us our first win in seven attempts at SJP against
Arsenal when he steered home a right-footed
drive at the Leazes two days before his 31st birthday.
It was also a memorable evening for
Scott Parker, although the chances are that he'll recall very little about it. Parker lost a tooth as he was knocked to
the ground by 'keeper Jens Lehmann and after lengthy treatment remarkably got back to his feet
and continued, clutching cotton wool, with the same high level of
commitment.
Scott's night came to an end after
scrambling on his hands and knees to win the ball from Kolo Toure. The
visiting player then delivered the final knockout blow to Parker, who waved to the bench
and collapsed in a dazed heap.

2007 defender Celestine Babayaro officially left

Newcastle lined up for this one without a recognised central defender in the
18-man squad and that proved costly as all four goals were conceded by a
painfully makeshift defence.
Danny Simpson and James Perch deputising for injured duo, Fabricio
Coloccini and Steven Taylor, in the centre of defence
with
Davide Santon and
Ryan Taylor at left and right back.
It proved to be a recipe for disaster
as the Canaries took full advantage and only another fabulous display from Demba Ba - scoring two excellent goals -
gave the travelling fans anything to cheer about on a day when a rare outing
for Dan Gosling ended with a senseless sending off.

A fourth successive defeat at The Cottage left United hovering above
the relegation scrap and former Magpie Damien Duff once again engineered
our downfall, providing the cross for Rodallega to score the winner.
Ben Arfa's deflected shot had equalised after the break, with Sidwell
putting the home side in the lead, also via a lucky ricochet.
