Premier League:
Diminishing returns
Newcastle 2 Brentford
3
Following a quick-fire trio of away tests, a return to
familiar surroundings brought no relief for Newcastle on
Saturday night as their winless run was extended to five
matches.
Despite taking the lead through a Sven Botman header on his
100th game for the club, the black and whites fell short at
both ends of the pitch and left empty-handed once again.
That lead last just 13 minutes before Dango Ouattara sent
over a cross from the left flank that Vitaly Janelt expertly
headed into the Leazes End net.
Worse then followed in the closing moments of the half;
Jacob Murphy illegally stopping Mathias Jensen's shot with
his hand and Igor Thiago rolling home his 18th goal of the
season from 12 yards.
Brentford had claimed a spot kick within the opening two
minutes when Keane Lewis-Potter went to ground as he
contested a loose ball in the box with Kieran Trippier.
Thankfully that wasn't given.
A VAR-inspired penalty won and converted by the returning
Bruno Guimaraes with just over 10 minutes of normal time
left seemed to have given Eddie Howe's side the platform to
go on clinch a massive three points.
Instead it was the Bees who ended a 91-year wait for their
second-ever victory at Gallowgate, Ouattara shooting
powerfully through Nick Pope's legs; the tenth goal United
have conceded in three games.
A Brentford side who have played five times in as many weeks
looked sharper, better organised and more potent in attack
than an ailing Toon line-up, badly lacking a cutting edge in
what was their ninth game during that same period.
Even the return of Bruno after a three game absence couldn't
inspire the hosts, although he contributed a goal and an
assist. Murphy was selected on the right over Anthony Elanga
but ineffectual to the point of anonymity, while Joe Willock
and Harvey Barnes got some early joy on the left, but had
nothing to aim at up front in open play.
Facing his old side for the first time, Yoane Wissa missed a
crucial opportunity to double United's lead but otherwise
contributed nothing in another lack-lustre outing.
Nick Woltemade was no better after his half-time arrival,
reaching the box but failing to test Caoimhim Kelleher with
a shot and making several embarrassing attempts at heading
the ball.
£100m+ spent, nothing to show for it - Malick Thiaw's second
half strike was rather better than anything that our German
or DR Congo internationals could muster.
Discontented home followers booed their side off at both
half and full time, as the Magpies extended their losing
Premier League run to three games for the first time in two
years.
Collectively out of form, a struggling side crying out for
fresh legs and ideas has neither: a club unwilling or unable
to enter the transfer market bulking out their bench with
development squad players for no discernible purpose.
We'll plough on in similar fashion to Spurs this Tuesday,
Villa on Saturday and Baku the Wednesday after that before
returning to the good old Etihad in a fortnight - a schedule
that now stretches before us like a prison sentence.
This was a chance to stop the rot - a chance that was
missed.
Sitting twelfth with 13 games to go, Eddie Howe's side are
ten points off the top five and ten points off the
bottom three. Neither look likely, at the moment.

Eddie Howe said:
"A
strange game because I think at 2 - 2 you think you're going
to go on and win it.
"The game got away from us with a really poor third goal,
the construction of it we're all out attack, which is fine
in that moment of course. But we need to do it in control,
and we weren't in control of the transition well enough."
On conceding soft goals:
"It's been a massive problem in this last group of games, we all
know if you defend well you've got a chance with our attacking
players of scoring.
"We scored two today and we lost the game and got nothing from it
which is hugely frustrating from our view point.
On feeling under pressure:
"I always feel under pressure. It's irrelevant to me, the type of
pressure.
"When you're in this job, you're
always in that moment: whether it's pressure to win, or to turn
around results. We're very much in that (second) feeling.
"I always say the pressure I put
on myself could not be more extreme. I demand really high standards
from what I am doing and how I work, and what I ask the players to
do.
"I'm obviously not doing my job well enough at the moment.
"I'm annoyed with myself, angry
with myself, blaming myself, taking full accountability on my
shoulders. No one else.
"There's a harsh reality for me. I think I have to think long and
hard about - not my effort, because I can't question that - but I
have to work better, do more. I have to take responsibility for
everything you see on the pitch. I have got to work out solutions.
"I also of course have to ask
the same of the players. I have to ask them to be really honest and
look at their best levels, and judge them against that now in this
current moment.
"I don't think there are too
many who can say they are playing their best. That then gives us
growth to improve.
On negative reaction from home
fans:
"If we perform, the crowd will back us. They will be with us every
step of the way.
"I have no issue with their reaction today. They are
reacting to what we deliver. I don't see that being a problem. Of
course we have to turn that around with our performances."
On Bruno Guimaraes:
"A big pressure moment and he responded with a really cool penalty.
I thought he did well to get through the game considering he's
missed quite a chunk of training."
Stats:
Sven Botman
made his 100th league and cup appearance for
Newcastle, collecting his third Premier League goal. The
other two were both scored in away games - at Sheffield United in
September 2023 and Liverpool in January 2024.
Bruno Guimaraes scored his 30th PL goal, moving one
ahead of both Demba Ba and Gary Speed in the club's scoring charts.

Premier League:
Spurs
(a)
Tuesday sees the Magpies back on the road, heading to N17 for a
Premier League meeting with Thomas Frank's Cockerels.
It's a 7.30pm kick-off, live on TNT Sports
3.
This will be United's seventh visit to the Tottenham Hotspur
Stadium, with the previous six bringing three wins, two losses and a
draw. The Magpies have netted in all six.
The two sides have already met twice this season: the corresponding
PL game ending 2-2 and Newcastle running out 2-0 winners at SJP in
the Carabao Cup.
Eddie Howe's team are looking to end a run of three successive
losses in the PL - something they haven't endured since December
2023/January 2024.
In all competitions, United are winless in their last five outings -
they haven't gone six league and cup games without victory since
December 2021/January 2022..
Team: Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Joelinton remain
out, with news on the availability of Anthony Gordon and Lewis Miley
awaited.
Assuming he plays, Nick Pope will complete a century of
Premier League appearances for Newcastle.

Departure:
Lascelles
leaves
Update: Lascelles debuted for the Foxes on Saturday,
completing 71 minutes of a 1-2 Championship defeat at Birmingham
City.
Tuesday brought confirmation that long-serving central
defender Jamaal Lascelles had left Newcastle, joining
Championship side Leicester City for the remainder of the season, at
which point he'll become a free agent.
The 32 year-old made the last of 253 appearances against Arsenal
in September, having moved to Tyneside from Nottingham Forest in August
2014 alongside Karl Darlow, the pair immediately returning to the City Ground
on loan.
Inheriting the number 6 shirt from Mike Williamson, Jamaal debuted
in the League Cup against Northampton Town in August 2015, before a harsh
introduction to the Premier League coming off the bench to partner Fabricio Coloccini and Chancel
Mbemba in a 1-6 loss at Manchester City,
The replacement of Steve McClaren by Rafa Benitez
failed to prevent relegation but was pivotal for Lascelles, who
became a regular starter and was made club captain.
One season in the second tier ended in spectacular style with Jamaal
holding the Championship trophy following a home win over Barnsley
and Brighton's draw at Villa.
Losing his place for the Premier League opener as Benitez partnered Ciaran
Clark with Florian
Lejeune, Paul Dummett almost immediately limped off
and Lascelles was back in.
Winning goals in successive games against Swansea City and
Stoke City were followed by news of a contract extension
and what became an effective pairing with Fabian Schar.
Retaining the captaincy after Benitez gave way to
Steve Bruce, Lascelles remained a regular until the
installation of Eddie Howe and later acquisitions of Dan Burn and Sven Botman
saw him slip down the pecking order.
An unused substitute at Wembley in the 2023 Carabao Cup Final,
Jamaal found his way back into the side again as Botman succumbed to
injury and Burn played at full back - starting all but one of
United's six Champions League ties and giving one of his standout
displays away to PSG.
Suffering a cruciate injury during a 4-3 home victory over West Ham
in March 2024, Lascelles was sidelined for over a year before
returning to action with a pair of substitute outings in the early
weeks of this season, by which time Malick Thiaw was through the
door.
His absence from the playing squad though didn't prevent Jamaal from
lifting the Carabao Cup with fellow captains Bruno Guimaraes and
Kieran Trippier last year - a fitting gesture to acknowledge his
long service to the cause.

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.

On This Day in History |
|
9th February |
|
Born Or Died:
1883
Robert Benson born, Whitehaven.
(1902-04)
A 0-3 defeat
at Liverpool in March 1903 proved to be the sole senior appearance right back
Bob Benson made for United.
A miner acquired from local side
Dunston Villa, Shankhouse and Swalwell, Bob moved on to non-league
Southampton for £150.
Switching to Sheffield United in 1904 saw his career take off and he was capped
by England in February 1913
against Ireland.
November 1913 saw Bob join Woolwich Arsenal, working in a
munitions factory during WW1 and hanging up his boots.
However, he was tempted into a playing return with fatal consequences,
appearing for Arsenal in a friendly against Reading just days after his 33rd
birthday - despite having gone to the game as a spectator.
Leaving the field after complaining of feeling unwell, Benson died in the
dressing room a short time later, the cause being established as a burst blood
vessel.
5,000 fans attended a testimonial match three months later against a Rest of
London XI, all proceeds going to Bob's widow.
1934 Death of Henry Brown, 50.
(1906-07)
"Harry" scored a hat-trick on his debut against Birmingham and won a
Championship medal in his only season with United.
At the time of his death he was living near Southampton, having played for the
Saints just before WW1. Earlier moves took him from SJP to Bradford PA and
Fulham.
 1936
Death of Arthur Metcalfe, 46.
(1909-12)
Forward who swapped SJP for Liverpool just before WW1.
Arthur settled on Merseyside and was an Anfield gateman at the time of his
death.
 1953
Death of Charles William Spencer, 53.
(1921-28)
An FA Cup & Championship winner at United, Charlie won two England caps
while at SJP.
Sold to Manchester United, he later managed Wigan Athletic, Grimsby Town
and York City.
However, he passed away at his Blackpool home within three months of taking
charge at Bootham Crescent.

The referee
misread his watch and blew for half-time after just 30
minutes before realising his error!
Neither manager was present for this kickabout, Magpies
boss Stan Seymour attending the Hibernian versus Partrick
Thistle game as he scouted for an inside forward.
His opposite number Dave Steele meanwhile was similarly
tasked at Raith Rovers versus Airdrieonians.
Team: King,
Graham, Corbett, Harvey, Denmark, Crowe, Milburn,

A fine display by goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson saw United
take a point from their visit to Craven Cottage.
Fulham were managed by Gateshead-born Bill Dodgin Senior,
his son and fellow Tynesider Bill Dodgin Junior playing at
right back and praised for his handling of Bobby Mitchell.
 1952
The Reserves hosted Sheffield Wednesday at SJP in the
Central League.
The Owls won 3-1,Reg Davies on target for the hosts.

1-0 up through Jackie Milburn's fine 35 yarder,
Newcastle were pegged back when ex-Magpie Tommy
Thompson levelled.
The in-form visitors won it when a cross from former
West Auckland Town player Les Dagger (a player United had
scouted) was headed home by Sammy Taylor.
 1970
Newcastle reserves were in friendly action against
Northern Premier League side Gateshead at Redheugh Park.
Ex-Magpie junior Artie Lumsden beat John Hope from the
penalty spot to give the hosts a fifth minute lead.
Gordon Hindson's 18th minute centre was then headed in by
Phil McGovern and the striker won it with to a 75th minute
shot.
A crowd of 2,717 were present.

Visiting striker David Cross contrived to head against
the post on 36 minutes and his side were made to pay for
that bad miss - also contributing to their own downfall by
twice beating their own goalkeeper Bill Glazier.
Despite the margin of victory, not everything at
Gallowgate was rosy, home fans booing Tommy Gibb and
shouting for Jimmy Smith - although he wasn't in the
squad.

Cropley making his debut.

Tony Cunningham made his debut in blizzard conditions,
which enveloped SJP shortly before kick-off (as the PA was
blasting out KC & The Sunshine Band...)
The rapid snowfall required the introduction of an orange
ball which Peter Beardsley duly slotted past Brandon-born
goalkeeper Stephen Pears for a deserved late leveller.
Ron Atkinson's team had led at half-time through Kevin
Moran, while Gordon Strachan played for the Reds on his
28th birthday.

A midweek trip to Fratton Park saw the Magpies lose
their unbeaten record for the year at the ninth time of
asking, deservedly beaten by Jim Smith's side.
Kevin Keegan's side remained top of the league but a
miserable night when little went right ended with David
Kelly crashing an 85th minute penalty against the bar and
into the crowd - former Pompey player John Beresford
having been bundled over.

exit.

1999 The departure
of John Barnes to Charlton Athletic eased the wage bill at
Gallowgate, but the exclusive fashion shops in Jesmond
lost one of their best customers....
2000 Staying with
John Barnes, his reign as coach at Celtic hit an all-time
low as they were dumped out of the cup by Inverness
Caledonian Thistle.
The Sun reported the game with the headline: "Super
Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious"
- inspired by the 1970s Liverpool Echo effort "Super
Cally goes ballistic, QPR atrocious" relating to
Anfield winger Ian Callaghan.

Another three goal salvo at SJP - for a third
successive game - while Alan Shearer netted for the fourth
consecutive game, all after a pre-game silence for the
late Princess Margaret.
Jermaine Jenas made his debut from the bench as United sat
in second spot, level on points with Liverpool, with a
game in hand. Bobby Robson telling reporters:
"Whether we can do it or not I don't know. I don't
think we can but what it will take - six matches at home,
six matches away and if we win all 12 then we will win the
title - it's as simple as that."
We won five - and finished fourth.

Robert(53)
Henry(35)
52,157
We started eight points behind leaders Arsenal and five
points behind Man United with a game in hand on both.
Thierry Henry gave the Gunners a half-time lead but United
deservedly equalised through the right boot of Robert.
Unfortunately, the crowd
and the watching Sky audience were robbed of a fantastic
final 30 minutes when Robert was sent off for two bookings
- the second for not retreating from a free-kick, although
Bergkamp took full advantage of the Frenchman's slowness.

match report
2005
Red faces for Aaron Hughes and his Northern Ireland side,
as they suffered a 0-1 home defeat in a friendly against
Canada.
The Newcastle defender struck the post in the first half
but couldn't make any headway against a side who were a
man short for three quarters of the game at Windsor Park.
2006 A pointless meeting of two Magpies as Nigeria
beat Senegal 1-0 in Cairo to win the African Nations Cup
Third place playoff. Oba Martins and Abdoulaye Faye
were both absent when United played Villa three days
later, but not missed as we won 2-1.
2006 The Reserves
breezed into the next round of the Northumberland Senior
Cup after dispatching Ashington 8-0 at Kingston Park.
Striker Carl Finnigan led the way with a hat trick, Liam
Atkin added two more and Phil Cave, Matty Pattison and
Daryl Smylie all found the target.

The

then we changed ends.
Another absolutely shambolic second half showing made it
clear that our principal target was now to avoid
relegation.

United lost the top spot that they'd held since October
after a wretched evening at Pride Park - West Bromwich
Albion's 2-0 home win over Scunthorpe United putting them
ahead on goal difference.
Our
15-game unbeaten league record looked in doubt once Rob
Hulse headed the Rams in front - soon after Robbie Savage
avoided dismissal for clattering Wayne Routledge.
Referee Anthony Taylor then disallowed an effort from Andy
Carroll straight from the restart for an earlier free kick
to United. However he called a foul by Jonas Gutierrez on
Michael Tonge correctly and Kris Commons beat Steve Harper
from the spot.
Shaun Barker then fired in a third to spark further
celebrations from Nigel Clough - and extend Derby's
unbeaten record against Newcastle to four games.

2012 The U18s progressed
into the Quarter-Finals of the FA Youth Cup after a 2-1
extra-time win over QPR at SJP.
Behind

Campbell penalty before substitute JJ Hooper won it to set
up a home tie against Blackburn Rovers.

Bale(5,78)
36,244
Following successive wins over Aston Villa and Chelsea,
Gareth Bale's brace ended United's mini revival at White
Hart Lane.
Bale converted an early free-kick but United deservedly
levelled through Yoan Gouffran's first goal - and the
first scored by a Newcastle player on this ground in four
visits.
However, Bale then benefited from Steven Taylor's
hesitancy and Fabricio Coloccini's inadequacy to beat Tim
Krul.

2015 The
U21s lost
their unbeaten home league record for the season with a
1-2 loss to Arsenal at SJP.
A 93rd minute header from Austin Lipman won it, although
United retained pole position in the table - ahead of the
Gunners.
Dan Barlaser had equalised a first half strike from Alex
Iwobi. Future Magpie Stefan O'Connor was in the visiting
side.

2017 A

ended 10-9 to North Shields, who earned the chance to

was caught off his line and beaten from some 40 yards
out by Jake Daniels.
