Premier League:
Everton (a)
Saturday sees the Magpies debut at the 52,700 capacity Hill
Dickinson Stadium of Everton, the 61st different venue to have
hosted a Premier League fixture involving them.
It's a 5.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
We are away that away fans may see their digital ticket appear in
different formats, depending on the make/model of their mobile
device and how tickets were downloaded.
NUFC queried this with EFC in recent days and received assurances
that the various formats are all equally valid.
Team: Kieran Trippier, William Osula and Yoane Wissa won't
feature on Saturday, while Sven Botman is doubtful. Emil Krafth may
return.
EFC: Merlin Rohl, Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan
Patterson are all on the injured list.
Monday saw David Moyes make an enjoyable return
to former club Manchester United, the Toffees running out 1-0
winners despite playing 77 minutes with 10 men after the dismissal
of Idrissa Gueye for striking a team mate.
He'll be suspended for our visit while Everton are also set to
be without Seamus Coleman, after he had to be replaced early on in
the victory at Old Trafford.
The Toffees have staged six PL games at their new home;
defeating Brighton, Crystal Palace and Fulham, drawing with Aston
Villa and West Ham and losing to Spurs.
Referee: Craig Pawson - fresh from an eventful evening on VAR
duty for Newcastle versus Manchester City, this will be the third
NUFC game that the South Yorkshire whistler has handled this season
following the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa and the 1-2 loss at Brighton.
VAR: Darren England

early July.
Latest:
War of words
From OM, Thursday - interesting that
they mention the Paris police, who we'll be renewing acquaintance
with in 2026:
Olympique de Marseille has taken
note of the statement published by Newcastle United FC following the
Champions League match played this Tuesday at the Orange Vélodrome.
The Club reiterates that the
arrangements for the arrival and departure of visiting supporters
were finalized well in advance of the match, in close coordination
with the Paris Police Prefecture, UEFA, and Newcastle United FC
itself. This system, compliant with UEFA standards, was meticulously
implemented and proceeded smoothly.
Olympique de Marseille also
wishes to remind everyone that it deploys significant human,
technical, logistical and financial resources at each match to
guarantee opposing fans a quality welcome and optimal security
conditions.
The Club also emphasizes that no
specific incidents or alerts were reported to it by Newcastle United
FC during the evening of the match, nor by their representatives
present at the stadium, nor in the hours following the match.
Furthermore, the feedback sent to our department by UEFA after the
match confirms the quality of the security measures implemented and
their effective operational execution.
Olympique de Marseille reaffirms
once again its unwavering commitment to the safe travel of its own
supporters and, consequently, its dedication to providing away fans
with a suitable and secure environment. Therefore, the Club cannot
accept that its responsibility be wrongly called into question.
Finally, the Club wishes to
commend the rigorous and coordinated work of the Police Prefecture,
whose actions ensured the smooth running of the event and the safety
of all supporters.
Update:
Marseille (a) statement
From NUFC, Thursday:
We will be formally raising our concerns with UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and French police in relation to the
unacceptable treatment of our supporters by police at Stade
Vélodrome following Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixture.
Following the final whistle, our
supporters were required to remain in the stadium for a period of up
to one hour on the instruction of local authorities to ensure their
safety when leaving the stadium.
Plans were in place to move 500
supporters at a time, with a police escort to the Metro station for
onward travel to Place de la Joliette.
Our supporters were in good
spirits despite the disappointing result and waited patiently and
without incident during the holdback period.
The post-match operation was
observed at close quarters by our stewards and senior staff.
'Unnecessary and
disproportionate force'
Once the first group of
supporters was released, the police began using unnecessary and
disproportionate force to stop the remainder of our fans from moving
any further. This was actioned through a combination of pepper
spray, batons and shields, with numerous supporters being
indiscriminately assaulted by the police.
Many supporters were visibly
distressed, particularly in the upper concourse area of the away
sector, where crushing became apparent.
Our staff immediately addressed
the matter with the police, however this had limited impact on their
excessive tactics.
Fans leaving the stadium rightly
shared their distress, frustration and anger with our staff, and we
have subsequently received deeply concerning witness reports from
supporters who were in attendance.
Supporter safety and welfare
should always be of paramount importance, and we strongly condemn
the treatment of our supporters by the police during this incident.
Next steps
We will be calling on UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and local authorities to formally investigate
this matter to ensure lessons are learned and this behaviour is not
repeated.
We are continuing to liaise with
the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) as we gather
evidence on behalf of our supporters.
Were you in attendance?
We would like to hear from
supporters affected by this incident as we collate as much
supporting information as possible. This will also be shared with
UEFA, UKFPU and the Football Supporters Europe organisation.
Supporters who wish to share
their witness report should email

Update:
Les O'Neill RIP
Former Newcastle United midfielder
Les O'Neill has died, days before his 82nd birthday.
Northumberland born Les played for New Hartley Juniors and Blyth
Spartans before joining the Magpies in 1961, playing alongside the
likes of David Craig and Bob Moncur in the FA Youth Cup-winning side
during his first season at SJP.
Becoming a regular in the reserves,
O'Neill was called upon for senior team duty just once, a 2-5 loss
at Portsmouth in Division Two during October 1963.
Sidelined by injury for almost a
year, Les was transferred to Darlington in 1965 and later joined
Bradford City before five years at Carlisle United brought him to
prominence.
Helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to Division One in 1974, he
scored three goals in their first two top-flight fixtures as
Carlisle briefly topped the table.
Affected by fitness issues again,
Les played his final games for Queen of the South and became a
milkman in Carlisle.
Later off-field involvement saw him take charge of Penrith and
Workington in addition to coaching and scouting for Carlisle,
Blackpool and Wycombe Wanderers.

Youth
League:
U19s lose again
Marseille U19s 2
Newcastle U19s 0
Pointless in their previous four U19 UEFA Youth League ties, United's youngsters
failed to break their duck on Tuesday afternoon, beaten by a goal in each half by Marseille at the Stade Francis Turcan home
of FC Martigues.
The hosts had only one point from a possible 12, but went ahead on
13 minutes when Said Remadnia took Antoine Valero's pass and clipped
the ball over goalkeeper Roman Dowell.
The scorer was booked for removing his shirt in
celebration.
Newcastle's task was made more difficult following the dismissal of Anthony Munda
for a rash tackle midway through the second half but the ten men held out
until the fifth added minute when Valero struck
from close range after Dowell fumbled a shot.
Team: Dowell, Shahar, Old, Watts, Charlton, Munda, Finneran
(Taylor 74), Bailey (Brayson 62), Seldon (Ferreira 62), Wooster
(Johnson 71), Seung-soo.
Subs n/u: Jones, Durrant, Moran, Pinnington, Yildiz.

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.

Born Or Died:
1891
Jack Alderson born, Crook, Durham.
(1913-19)
Goalkeeper who made a solitary senior team appearance for
Newcastle, replacing Jimmy Lawrence for a 3-1 home success against Woolwich
Arsenal in January 1913.
Beginning his career with Crook Juniors, Jack appeared for Shildon and had a
spell with the smoggies as an amateur before United paid £30 to secure his
services.
Joining Crystal Palace in 1919 for a £50 fee, Alderson enjoyed a successful
stint in South London - winning one England cap - before joining Welsh side
Pontypridd in 1924.
Later appearing for Sheffield United and Exeter City, he served Torquay United
as a trainer and turned for Worcester City before returning to his native
Crook.
Turning his hand to farming in later years, Jack's death was recorded on
wearside in February 1972.
1903
Alec Betton born, New Tupton, Derbyshire. (1931-34)
Defender who joined United in January 1931 from Scarborough
Town for £500, having earlier played for Chesterfield.
Making his Magpies debut later that same month in a 2-3 reverse at West Ham,
Alec appeared over the following two and a half seasons but moved on following
the club's relegation from Division One in 1934.
After a brief spell at Stockport County, Betton returned to former club
Scarborough, serving them for many years as a trainer.
1931 Terry Stoddart born, Newcastle,
(1949-54)
Defender who came through the juniors but failed to make a first team
appearance for United.
Continuing his playing career at Darlington, York City and Poole Town, Terry's
death was reported in October 2014.
1933 Alex Tait born, West Sleekburn, Northumberland. (1952-60)
Centre forward who appeared for England at youth level and
continued with his teacher training while signing part-time terms at Gallowgate
in 1952.
Making his first team debut for United in a 4-0 home win over Everton in April
1955, Tait became an occasional starter over the following seasons.
The high point of his Magpies career then came in December 1956 with a run of
first team games after Jackie Milburn, Vic Keeble and Bobby Mitchell were all
injured.
Clad in the number 9 shirt in the Tyne- wear derby at SJP, Tait netted a 35
minute treble during a 6-2 demolition of the mackems - the first Newcastle player ever to
do so.
What proved to be Alex's final United game was a 3-4 loss to Fulham at Craven
Cottage in October 1959, before a £5,000 move to Bristol City the following
summer.
Later appearing for Doncaster Rovers, Tait joined non-league Burton Albion in
1965 and later served as their manager until 1968.
Living in the Staffordshire town of Tutbury, Alex continued teaching and also
coached footballers at Loughborough College.
He passed away in January 2019, following a short battle with cancer.
1938 Bill Graham born, Newcastle
(1956-59)
Centre forward who played for United at junior and reserve
level, but failed to make it into the senior side before
leaving in 1959.
Joining Ashington, Bill later moved on to Gateshead before a
£1,500 transfer to Aberdeen was agreed in September 1963.
Marking his debut with two goals in a 7-1 win at Airdrie,
Graham scored seven times in 15 games but was granted a free
transfer the following summer by Dons boss and ex-Magpie
Tommy Pearson.
Signing for Queen of the South, Bill returned to the North
East with South Shields in 1965, remaining at Simonside Hall
for five years and playing in their gallant FA Cup defeat at
QPR in 1970.
Returning to Gateshead during July 1970, a second
spell with the Mariners between 1973 and 1976 then saw him
captain the side.
Living in Wideopen, Bill was well known in local cricket
circles, remarkably playing for Seaton Burn CC from the age
of 14 until retiring aged 65 in 2004. He was also team
manager of the Northumberland County Cricket team for 10
years from 2002.
A lifelong Magpie and SJP season ticket holder for many
years, Bill passed away in July 2021. 1948 Mick Channon born, Orcheston, Wiltshire. (1982)
After a 17 year career during which he'd played over 500 games
for Southampton in two spells and also appeared for Manchester City, ex-England
striker Mick was seeing out his days with Hong Kong club Caroline Hills.
That all changed in September 1982 however, when he pitched up at SJP after his
old pal and former Dell colleague Kevin Keegan began advising manager Arthur
Cox on finding reinforcements for our squad.
Making a goalscoring debut in a midweek 1-1 home draw with the smoggies, Mick
kept his place in the side for a home draw with Chelsea followed by back to
back losses at the hands of Shrewsbury and Barnsley.
Exiting from Gallowgate as Terry McDermott arrived, Mick joined Bristol Rovers
but was unable to find the net in nine outings and retirement loomed at the age
of 34.
Instead however, a call from Norwich City manager Ken Brown saw Channon heading
to Carrow Road and three seasons of top- flight football during which he scored
16 times in 88 league appearances.
Bowing out with a League Cup winner's medal in the 1985 Wembley final victory
over the mackems - although the Canaries had already been relegated, Mick
signed for Portsmouth in August 1985.
That wasn't a success though and after moving on to Irish side Finn Harps, he
retired and embarked on a
second successful sporting career, as a racehorse trainer.
Mick was involved in a road accident on the M1 in 2008 and suffered a punctured lung and broken arm but made a full recovery. Sadly his travelling companion was
killed.
2022 saw him announce his retirement from horse training after a 33 year
career.
1959
Martin Thomas born, Senghenydd, Wales. (1983-88)
Goalkeeper who had made his debut back in 1977 for Bristol
Rovers, later joining Cardiff City, Tottenham Hotspur and Southend United on
loan (although he never played a first team game for Spurs).
Moving to SJP on loan in May 1983, Martin replaced Kevin Carr between the posts
in a 5-0 victory at Barnsley and retained his place for the final two games of
the season.
A permanent deal was then concluded that summer and Thomas became a Magpie at a
cost of £50K, sharing custodian duties with Carr in our 1983/84 promotion
campaign.
That situation persisted the following season after Jack Charlton replaced
Arthur Cox as United manager and Thomas was loaned out to the smoggies for a
time.
Finally making the number one shirt his own in the 1985/86 and 1986/87 seasons,
he also gained a solitary full cap against Finland for Wales in August 1986.
Losing his place to Gary Kelly in September 1987, Martin remained on Tyneside
for a further year before signing for Birmingham City in a £75K deal after the
arrival of Dave Beasant at SJP left him as third choice. Thomas
made 144 appearance for City and remained there until 1993, twice going out on
were to be non-playing emergency loans - at both Aston Villa and Crystal
Palace.
Playing on until 1995 with Cheltenham Town (then a non-league side), Martin
used his coaching credentials to work both for the FA and as a specialist
goalkeeping coach with a number of clubs in the Midlands.
Joining the FA staff permanently in 1997, Thomas subsequently became English FA national goalkeeping
coach and at various times coached at both U16 and U21.
2012 then saw Martin join the Team Great Britain football coaching staff for
the London Olympics, also releasing an autobiography, "from the valley
to the valley and back."
All proceeds were donated to help fund a memorial in his home town of Senghenydd to the 440 miners killed in an accident at the nearby Universal
Colliery in 1913.
1960 Kenny Wharton born, Blakelaw.
(1978-89)
Left back/midfielder who made his first team debut in March
1979, coming off the bench to replace Nigel Walker during a 0-5 defeat away at
West Ham United.
Becoming a regular during the 1980/81 season, Kenny netted his first senior
goal with a low shot at the Leazes End against Shrewsbury Town in September
1981.
A regular at left back in the 1983/84 promotion side, Wharton then filled both
midfield and full back roles for United in the top flight over the following
five seasons.
Perhaps the highlight of that part of his career came in the visit of Luton
Town to SJP in April 1988, when Newcastle spanked the Hatters 4-0 to avenge
defeat by a similar margin at Kenilworth Road.
Michael O'Neill led the way with a hat trick, but Kenny is remembered for
sitting on the ball in the latter stages, as United extracted the urine from
Steve Foster & Co. as they had in that earlier meeting in Bedfordshire.
What proved to be Wharton's final first team outing came in the final home game
of the 1988/89 season - a 1-1 draw with Millwall that came after relegation for
Jim Smith's side had already been confirmed.
Joining Carlisle United at the start of the 1989/90 season, Kenny struggled for
fitness due to an ongoing knee problem and was forced into retirement at the
end of that season, also having spells on the books of both Bradford City and
Berwick Rangers.
Wharton had returned to SJP in April 1989, when almost 21,000 fans saw a
testimonial match between United & a Kevin Keegan XI.
Frank Pingel and Mirandinha netted for United in a 2-2 draw, while Chris Waddle
scored twice for KK's side, for whom Kenny played alongside old colleagues
Gazza, Wes Saunders and guests including Steve Bruce, Peter Shilton and Gary
Pallister.
Dropping down to play for non-league Whitley Bay, Wharton then began his
coaching career with St.Johnstone, before joining the staff at Boro's Academy.
1999 saw him return to the Magpies as a youth team coach, also serving as
United's Academy director between 2002 and 2004.
Kenny ended his second long association with the club in 2009 when he was
removed from the SJP Academy staff, the club claiming that was "by mutual
consent".
Relocating to Canada where he coached youngsters at the Halifax City
club in Nova Scotia, Wharton subsequently returned to Tyneside and took up a
similar role at local non-league club Newcastle Blue Star.
Appointed joint first team boss at the Northern Alliance side in 2019, Kenny
stood down a year later, reverting to youth coaching in the Tyneside area -
including sessions alongside fellow ex-Magpie Peter Beardsley.
2000 Death of Len
Shackleton, 78.
(1946-48)
Recalled for scoring six times on his United debut (revised
to five many years later), Len was an outspoken and controversial figure during his time
at SJP - openly rebelling against both club officials and fellow players.
The Bradford-born player however went to the grave a dyed-in-the-wear mackem,
following his move to Roker Park.
Revered as the greatest player ever to appear for Bradford Park
Avenue, a commemorative wall in the Park Avenue clubhouse was unveiled
in 2001 by his son Roger, brother John and sister Irene.
Shack passed away at his home in Grange- over-Sands, Cumbria.
2005 Alfie Harrison born, Keighley.
(2024-present)
Attacking
midfielder signed in February 2024 after agreement was
reached with his former club Manchester City.
Featuring for Newcastle U18s and U21s after moving to
Tyneside, Alfie made five first team appearances in
pre-season ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
A first U21 strike then came against Alnwick Town in
the Northumberland Senior Cup during November 2024.

Abandoned due to bad light after ten minutes of extra
time, with industrial unrest during the winter of
discontent meant floodlights weren't allowed.
The tie had kicked off at 2pm in front of a miniscule crowd but by 4pm visibility on a
freezing and snowy afternoon made any conclusion game
impossible.
A restaged game a week later drew just less than 10,000 fans and saw United win
3-1.

1990 Cash-strapped
United continued their search for bargain signings, giving
a trial to local striker John Richardson, who had been
playing in New Zealand.
He lasted 65 minutes of a reserve game at SJP which United
lost 2-1 to Aston Villa, Steve Watson getting the United
goal.

The visitors lost Andy Fensome, sent off for whacking
Alan Thompson but the result was never in much doubt.
Fensome had actually been on trial at SJP for a short
spell in 1988.
With the score 2-0,
United were awarded a penalty and
usual taker Gavin Peacock went to gather the ball only for David
Kelly to take it and complete his hat
trick from the spot.
A late chance converted
by Peacock made sure everyone ended up satisfied. The
visitors replied through Steve Claridge, who played at SJP earlier in the season for
Luton Town.

Three days after European duty in Rome, United beat George Graham's Cockerels,
thanks to Nobby Solano.
The Peruvian crossed for Stephen Glass to test goalkeeper Ian Walker before Temuri Ketsbaia
buried the loose ball - only for the linesman to give
Glass the goal.
Solano then laid on the winner, taking the corner that Nicos Dabizas headed in.
On-loan defender Helder
and midfielder Fumaca both debuted.

Referee Neale Barry
was unmoved as Kieron Dyer was sent tumbling over in the
box by Kevin Kilbane.
Barry's refusal to show a second yellow card to Tim Cahill
or Tony Hibbert also gave the Toffees license to implement
a fairly brutal game plan.
United were also
complicit, spurning gilt-edged chances and seeing both Craig Bellamy and Jermaine Jenas
hit the woodwork.

Asked
if he had sought assurances over his future from Chris
Mort and Mike Ashley, Newcastle Manager Sam Allardyce
replied:
"No, no, not at all,
no. Why should I do that?
"Just
because somebody writes it in the papers, I should not be
be ringing or chasing the chairman or the owner to seek
assurances over my position.
“My
position is safe if I get results; my position is not safe
if I lose football matches. It has never been any
different anywhere else, not here, not at Bolton, not
anywhere.
"I
would not have lasted eight years at Bolton if I did not
get results, so it is no different anywhere you go.
"At
the end of the day when you take over a football club,
generally it is not in a good condition - that’s why you
get the job - and you have got to try to build it up from
there.
"You
get less and less time to do that now and from my point of
view and the point of view of all managers, it brings a
huge and extra pressure on us.
"But
we have to live with that because there is little we can
do about it. Only our bosses can be more stable and be
more supportive and I believe there will be no knee-jerk
reaction from my bosses.
"They are very stable and very
supportive, and I hope that remains the case."
That "knee jerk reaction" came 42 days
later...
2008 NUFC Club statement:
"Newcastle United announced today that Joe Kinnear
has signed a contract as manager until the end of the
2008/09 season.
"Joe initially came to St.James' Park in September in
an interim role but will now remain with the Magpies for
the rest of the campaign.
He said:
"it's
fu....." "Ever since I came
to Newcastle United I have thoroughly enjoyed the
experience.
"The players have been great to work with and the
fans have made me feel at home since day one.
"We have a big challenge ahead of us for the rest of
the season but together I'm confident we will make good
progress."

United
bounced back from a 1-5
loss
at Bolton to grab a point in a game in doubt due to snow and freezing temperatures.
The reigning champions were caught cold early on, a back
pass from Alex eluding goalkeeper Petr Cech and
leaving Andy Carroll to rush in and plant the ball in the vacant Gallowgate net.
With Mike Williamson and Fabricio Coloccini banned,
Steven Taylor returned after a ten month absence to
partner Sol Campbell.
Neither could prevent the
equaliser though, as
Salomon Kalou sped into the area and shot past Tim Krul via a Danny
Simpson ricochet.

That was the first home goal conceded by City for eight hours, but our backline
