Champions League:
Aubameyang is l'OM
Marseille 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle's domestic travel sickness was transported to the south
of France on Tuesday night, as they contrived to turn an interval
lead at the Orange Velodrome into a 1-2 deficit barely five minutes
after the restart.
Ahead after just six minutes thanks to a fourth goal in just three
games from Harvey Barnes, the blue-clad Magpies more than held their
own through the remainder of the opening period; both sides guilty
of some poor finishing.
Disastrous defending straight from the kick-off in the second half
then culminated in Nick Pope scurrying out of his area in hopeless
pursuit of
Darryl Bakola's through ball -
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
waltzing past the stranded 'keeper before expertly curling the ball
into the vacant net.
That brought the partisan home crowd to life and a further
collective roar of "Goal!" boomed around the stadium within
five minutes, as Aubameyang
latched on to Timothy Weah's cross to fire home from close range.
Now 36, the veteran striker was a thorn in our side back in his
Arsenal and Chelsea days, but aside from his brace here was no more
dangerous than the rest of his colleagues, despite their position
towards the top of Ligue 1.
A shell-shocked United should have had time to regroup and
conjure up an equaliser against a side that had failed to hang onto
leads twice in this competition.
But a poor second half display from Eddie Howe's side rarely
threatened the bandaged Geronimo Rulli's goal, the 'keeper injured in the first half accidentally by Dan Burn's boot.
At that stage United were looking good having defended Barnes'
smartly-finished
opener when Sandro Tonali's cross fell to him 12 yards out in the sixth minute.
And they could even have led earlier; only a goal line clearance
from Hojbjerg denying Malick Thiaw a first Toon goal with a looping
header that followed Tonali's corner.
Anthony Gordon could have doubled Newcastle's lead in first half added time but failed
to collect Joe Willock's cross properly, with Rulli well off his line.
Willock was one of three changes to the side that had beaten
Manchester City on Saturday, replacing Joelinton while Gordon
returned from injury and Burn
started following his one match Premier League suspension.
Howe made a triple substitution just after the hour with Lewis Miley,
Anthony Elanga and Lewis Hall replacing Tino Livramento, Fabian
Schar and Jacob Murphy but the changes couldn't muster a leveller; Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga's introduction also
in vain.
Elanga did go close with one effort that was saved by Rulli and
the patched-up custodian was also equal to a fierce shot by Willock.
The evening was summed up by a Tonali free kick in a good position
that sailed high and wide and in the final seconds, Pope's woeful
attempt to launch a ball into the box.
A disappointing end to an unsatisfactory performance that again
showed the side's fragility away from home after going in front -
this the third successive league and cup away game that we've held a
1-0 lead but left empty-handed.
And after his praiseworthy display in the victory over Manchester
City, there was justified criticism once again of Pope's
decision-making and below-par distribution.
After five games the Magpies have nine points and are still eighth
in the table
before Wednesday's games.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Pope, Livramento (Hall 61), Schar (L.Miley 61), Thiaw,
Burn, Willock (Ramsey 72), Tonali, Guimaraes, Barnes, Gordon (Woltemade
72), J.Murphy (Elanga 61).

Pavard, Balerdi, Emerson,

Crowd: 64,521.
Newcastle were allocated 3,000 tickets.
The pre-game meeting point was trouble-free, travelling supporters
escorted in groups down to platform level at Joliette Metro after
match ticket checks took place.
Access into the ground was also trouble-free, fans whiling away the
hours to kick-off trying to buy food and drink from the small and
inefficient catering facilities.
Surrounded by the inevitable netting, there didn't appear to be any
issues inside the stadium, aside from some liquids thrown from
adjacent home sections after both goals and after full time.
It was a different story post-match however; those in the lower tier
looked to have a trouble-free exit but elongated exits affecting
those loftier areas of the away section.
The holdback was initially trouble-free before the police moved
positions, causing a crush that the police tried to "remedy" by
using shields, batons and pepper spray.
The situation was exacerbated by treacherous conditions underfoot
caused by overflowing toilets that people were forced to stand in
for over an hour - as one witness said, there was an equal chance of
a fat lip or trench foot.
An attempt to remedy the situation that the police had created saw
officers escort lasses and older fans away from the crush - only for
those fans to be forced back up the stairs they'd come from after
more pepper spraying.
NUFC are aware of the issues and a response of some description is
anticipated on Wednesday.
Separate to that, there's a portal to report fans issues at all
European games collated by Football Supporters Europe that can be

After the game Eddie Howe said:
"I thought the effort was good. I think the start of the second
half, obviously, was a big one for us - 15 minutes at the start of
the second half, I thought, cost us.
"I thought we handled the atmosphere really well in the first half
and even towards the end of the game, I felt there were chances for
us to score
"I think the goal straight away, near enough, after half-time,
changes the whole feeling around the stadium and the game itself.
"It was just a lapse of concentration from our perspective, I think.
Then we didn't maybe react well enough to that. We conceded the
second and from there it was difficult."
On Nick Pope:
"Nick has saved us many, many times, he made some really good saves
against Manchester City just two days ago, that's the life of a
goalkeeper. But I certainly back him."
Referee: Maurizio Mariani (ltaly).
The Rome-born official had a pretty decent game, spotting dives and
shirt pulls that many PL refs may have missed.
VAR: Marco Di Bello (Italy).
Stats:
Harvey Barnes netted his fourth and Newcastle's 50th
Champions League goal, which took him into the top five scorers for
the club in that competition:
7: Shearer
4: Asprilla,
H.Barnes, Beresford, Gordon
3: Sh.Ameobi
2: Bellamy, Burn, Dyer, Joelinton L.LuaLua, Solano, Viana
1: Almiron, J.Barnes, Griffin, Isak, Ketsbaia, S.Longstaff,
Pearce, Schar, Speed, Woltemade
Barnes' goal wasn't the quickest scored by a Newcastle player in the
CL: Lomana LuaLua and Alan Shearer both scoring after five minutes against Leverkusen
away and home respectively during the 2002/03 campaign.
United conceded a goal in this competition after 339 minutes
of play and then another four minutes later.
This was Newcastle's second visit to this venue, following a
0-2 loss there in May 2004 that ended their UEFA Cup run at the
semi-final stage. 57,500 were present for that, before the stadium
was rebuilt and extended.

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.
Booked: Bailey, Seung-soo.

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.

What Else?

1898 Derby County (a)
1-3 (0-2)
Division One
P14, 8pts, 18th/18
Wardrope(80)
Bloomer(15,55)
Arkesden(18)
7,000
There were two
goals for the prolific Steve Bloomer, a Derby goalscoring
legend who was to haunt United for two decades.
However he missed out on a hat-trick, Matt Kingsley
blocking his eighth minute penalty attempt when the game
was still scoreless.
1904 Aston Villa (a)
1-0 (1-0)
Division One
P13, 18pts, 3rd/18
Appleyard(20)
13,000
What the Athletic News called "Twenty
carriage-loads of lusty-lunged Novocastrians" doubtless
celebrated United's maiden win at Villa Park.
1910 Woolwich Arsenal
(a)
2-1 (2-0)
Division One
P14, 14pts, 9th/20
Shepherd(15), Duncan(42)
Chalmers(87)
14,000
United were once again inspired by a visit to
Plumstead, winning at The Manor Ground for the third time
in succession.
1921 Sunderland (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P16, 18pts, 9th/22
49,483
1927 Leicester City
(a)
0-3 (0-1)
Division One
P16, 21pts, 2nd/22
Chandler(16,65),
Lochhead(58)
35,000
Inside left Billy
Halliday played his only game for Newcastle, as the home
side christened their new double decker stand at the South
End of Filbert Street.
1932 sunderland (a)
2-0 (1-0)
Division One
P15, 18pts, 7th/22
Lang(11), Allen(87)

2-2 (1-1)
Division Two
P17, 21pts, 3rd/22
Mooney(23), Clifton(67)
Fisher(43,84)
37,166
The Lions became the first side to avoid defeat at
Gallowgate that season, following eight successive home
victories for United.
1949 West Bromwich
Albion (h) 5-1 (4-1)
Division One
P17, 18pts, 9th/22
Walker(2),
Milburn(8,83), Houghton(28), G.Robledo(42)
Walsh(19)
32,415
Victory over a
red-shirted Albion side at SJP included a memorable goal
scored by Frank Houghton but created by Bobby Mitchell;
who beat four, five or six visiting players depending on
who told the tale!
 1955
Manchester City (a)
2-1 (2-1)
Division One
P18, 18pts, 13th/22
Keeble(26),
Hannah(31)
Clarke(20)
32,860
The first meeting of the sides since Newcastle's FA
Cup Final triumph saw George Hannah net the winner against
his future employers.
 1956
Hibernian (Scotland) (a) 3-1 (1-0)
Friendly
Milburn(29,88), White(57)
Fraser(84)
8,000
Despite Hibs winning 6-1 at East Fife two days
earlier, the visit of United on a Monday night failed to
capture the imagination of the Edinburgh public, with over
50,000 empty places at Easter Road.
Team: Simpson,
Keith, Batty, Scoular, Stokoe, Casey, White, Milburn,
Keeble, Eastham, Punton.
 1960
Blackburn Rovers (h) 3-1 (1-1)
Division One
P19, 15pts, 14th/22
White(24,53), Mitchell(51)
MacLeod(28)
22,623
19 year-old 'keeper Herbert Garrow debuted in place of
Bryan Harvey, who dropped down to the reserve side at his
own request and played in a 1-1 draw against Wolves at
Molineux that afternoon.
Albert Scanlon - Munich Air Disaster survivor and nephew
of United 'boss Charlie Mitten - also made his first
appearance.
However a trio of more established players weren't
involved; Dick Keith, Jimmy Scoular and Ivor Allchurch -
the latter of whom had submitted a written transfer
request.
 1966
Sheffield Wednesday (h) 3-1 (2-1)
Division One
P18, 13pts, 21st/22
Robson(34), Davies(40), Bennett(88)
Ritchie(44)
26,873
A tactical switch by Magpies boss Joe Harvey was a
major factor in this victory, after a run of five winless
matches.
Moving Alan Suddick to outside right from inside left in
exchange for Pop Robson paid dividends, with the former
setting up the latter for the opening goal.
Suddick then sent over a corner that Wyn Davies converted
for his first Newcastle goal, and then served up a third
assist for Albert Bennett to head home.
 1968
Barnsley (a)
1-5 (1-3)
Friendly
Hindson(44)
Evans(0-1,0-2,0-3),
Thomas(75,87pen)
10,000
Newcastle
travelled to South Yorkshire to play in a benefit for
Barrie Thomas, who moved from SJP to Scunthorpe in 1964
and Barnsley two years later.
However, a knee injury curtailed his career in December
1967 and Joe Harvey agreed to bring a side to Oakwell on a
Tuesday night.
Planning to give reserve custodian Dave Clarke a game, his
fitness meant that untried teenager Martin Burleigh was
drafted in, before he'd made his bow at second string
level.
As well as having a charitable outcome, the game also gave
United a look at Barnsley's promising young defender Pat
Howard.
The 21 year-old played in the game and within three years
had moved to Tyneside.
Team: Burleigh,
Craggs, Young, Cowan, Noble, Iley (Duffy 30), Sinclair,
Bennett, McMahon, Foggon, Hindson. (Johnson also appeared
off the bench).
 1969
FC Porto (Portugal) (h) 1-0 (1-0)
(1-0 on aggregate)
Fairs Cup 2nd Round
2nd Leg
Scott(22)
44,833
Benny Arentoft beat two players to set up Jim Scott
for the only goal of the tie, at a snowy Gallowgate.
United wore an all-red strip, while the visitors ended the
game with ten men when 'keeper Rui went off injured after
both subs were on.
 1977
A frozen pitch at Villa Park caused United's Division One
fixture against Aston Villa to be postponed barely three
hours before the kickoff.
Villa had faced Athletic Bilbao on the preceding Wednesday
and a heavy rainfall followed by frost in the West
Midlands rendered the surface unplayable.
 1983
Cambridge United (h) 2-1 (1-0)
Division Two
P16, 32pts, 3rd/22
Keegan(43pen), Beardsley(62)
Daniels(81)
25,065
Referee Trelford Mills made a return to SJP ten months
after disgracefully chalking off two goals in the FA Cup
against Brighton.
He was booed throughout the afternoon, but spotted a push
on Kenny Wharton as John Anderson headed against the
crossbar and awarded the penalty that Keegan netted.
 1994
Ipswich Town (h)
1-1 (0-0)
Premier League
P16, 34pts, 3rd/22
Cole(86)
Thomsen(89)
34,459
An incredibly frustrating day at Gallowgate, as
basement side Ipswich barely got out of their half all
game and United huffed and puffed but couldn't make a
breakthrough.
Returning from a five game absence due to injury, Andy
Cole seemed to have won it, only for defender
Claus Thomsen to pop up and loop a shot over Pavel
Srnicek.
This would be Cole's final goal for the club, while both
Philippe Albert and Rob Lee limped off after picking up
injuries.

 1997
Barcelona (Spain) (a) 0-1 (0-1)
Champions League
Giovanni(17)
26,000
United's hopes of progressing to the knockout stage of
the Champions League ended in a soggy and empty Nou Camp.
Lacking Rob Lee, Shay Given, Warren Barton and Tino
Asprilla, the Magpies only named five substitutes rather
than seven - and two of those were Brian Pinas and Jimmy
Crawford.
18 year-old Aaron Hughes was called upon for his senior
debut, as a half time replacement for stomach upset victim
Philippe Albert.
Kenny Dalglish: "They worked very hard and deserve
an awful lot of credit for getting this far....we didn't
lack ambition, we just don't have any strikers. We wanted
to win and it's an insult to suggest otherwise."
What being a Newcastle fan is all about: Travelling with
thousands of others to one of the best grounds in the
world, getting soaked, witnessing a miserable performance,
being ignored by the team and still singing.

Liverpool (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Premiership
P15, 23pts, 7th/20
Solano(4), Dyer(70)
Heskey(78)
51,949
The Reds lost at SJP for the first time in six league
and cup visits, partly due to the absence of Michael Owen
- who had scored six goals in his previous three visits to
SJP.
A partially fit Alan Shearer led the line well, while Shay
Given and Andy Griffin were the pick of a resolute home
defence.
Nobby Solano robbed Jamie Carragher before firing in an
early opener, with a Kieron Dyer beauty giving Bobby
Robson's side some much needed breathing space.
Emile Heskey's lob made for a nervous final passage of
play but United held out and the home fans broke off from
abusing old boy Didi Hamann to celebrate long and loudly.

1-0 (0-0)
Premiership
P14, 13pts, 17th/20
Sibierski(69)
48,743
Antoine
Sibierski's tap-in gave United a first win in ten weeks
and ten games and stretched their unbeaten run to five.
It was another battling
performance from Glenn Roeder's team and a deserved
victory over a mediocre-looking Pompey side.
NUFC.com
match report
2007 A baptism of fire for reserve coach Adam
Sadler, as his side conceded three quick goals to
Blackburn Rovers at Kingston Park.
A late Frank Danquah penalty and an even later own goal
gave the final score (2-4) slightly more respectability.

P13, 26pts, 4th/20
Ba(64pen)
Hernandez(49)
Gutierrez(78)
75,594
A controversial
penalty, awarded by the linesman, saw Demba Ba grab his
ninth Premier League goal of the season as the ten-man
Magpies hung on for a memorable point at Old Trafford.
Jonas Gutierrez was sent off for a second yellow card as
some superb saves from Tim Krul and last-ditch blocks from
Steven Taylor and Danny Simpson kept out the Red Devils.
And deep into added time the linesman correctly flagged
Hernandez offside, just as it looked like Fergie & Co
had managed yet another last-gasp winner.

match report
2013 The
reserves lost 1-2 to Birmingham City in the
newly-established U21 Premier League Cup competition at
St. Andrews.
An added time winner by Aaron McLean - his second goal of
the game - won it for City after Rolando Aarons had
equalised for United in the 88th minute.
However, United were later reinstated when McLean was
found to be ineligible - having played for Hull City in
the previous round.

Mulgrew(75)
52,092
A
full house was at SJP to witness Magpie history, but
rather than a tenth successive win they were given a
reminder of the day that Jim Dobbin spoiled the party for
Kevin Keegan's class of 1992.
This time Charlie Mulgrew got the goal for a Rovers side
who had taken just four points from a possible 24 away
from Ewood Park and had been 10/1 in the pre-match
betting.

Following
10 successive away losses going back to 2012, United finally
banished their Monday night Premier League TV curse at the
eleventh time of asking.
However, Rafa's side made heavy weather of their victory
at Turf Moor; Matt Ritchie and Joselu both missing gilt-edged chances
to make it 3-1 to the visitors.
NUFC.com

2021 Inclement weather delivered by storm
Arwen resulted in the abandonment of Newcastle's PL2 meeting with Aston Villa at
Whitley Park after 27
minutes.
The Villans held a 22nd minute lead when the
referee took the players off and they
didn't return.
United won the restaged game
2-0.
