FA Cup:
Manchester City (h)
Newcastle face Manchester City in their FA Cup Fifth Round tie
at
St. James' Park on Saturday.
It's an 8pm
KO, live on TNT Sports.
A result must be reached on the day, with 30 minutes extra time
played if the score is level at 90 minutes. The tie will then be
settled via a penalty shootout if required.
Match tickets for those on the FA Cup ticket scheme have been
uploaded to digital season tickets.
Hat sellers Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House pub from 5pm. Card payments accepted.
The winners will take their place in the Sixth Round draw, staged on
Monday evening from 7pm onwards.
Team: Nick Woltemade is expected to be back in the squad
after illness, while Tino Livramento is close to a return from
injury. Lewis Miley is further away, with Fabian Schar and Bruno
Guimaraes still sidelined.
Jacob Ramsey serves a one match ban following his
red card against Manchester United in the PL.
MCFC:
Max Alleyne, Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are out and
Nico O'Reilly is doubtful.
Ahead of their third visit to Tyneside this season, City drew 2-2 at
home to
Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola's side reached this point in the competition thanks to
a pair of home wins against EFL sides: 10-1 against Exeter City and
2-0 against Salford.
The visitors were allocated 4,893 tickets but failed to sell them
all. The configuration of the away section means that unsold ones
cannot be reallocated to home fans and therefore Saturday's crowd
will be under capacity.
Referee: Sam
Barrott - a third Toon posting of the season to date for the
Yorkshire official, following the 2-1 Premier League home victory
over Manchester City and 0-0 draw away at Wolves.
In total, Barrott has taken charge of five senior games
involving United - and they are yet to lose one.

Roads: Barrack Road will be
closed to traffic post-match between Stanhope Street and St. James'
Boulevard, beginning at the final whistle or earlier and continuing up to 45
minutes after full time or when crowds disperse.

Due to the closure of Barrack Road, Go North East X50 football services to the Metro Centre will depart from
St. James’ Boulevard, outside the Citygate building.
Stagecoach buses stopping on Barrack Road will be diverted and
passengers required to use alternative bus stops while the
post-match closure is in place.

Track works between Newcastle and York mean that only a
limited service will operate via a diversionary route and rail
replacements bus services will also run.
However, there's nothing scheduled southbound from Newcastle to Durham, Darlington or
York after the game.
Stats:
This will be the third meeting of these two teams at Gallowgate

by train, amended timetables are now online.
A three day line closure between York and Darlington in both
directions (Sat 23.05, Sun 24.05, Mon 25.05) means that bus
replacements between those two stations will run.

TV times
Wednesday saw the Premier League confirm their fixture amendments for April,
affecting Newcastle as follows:
Sat 11.04.2026 Crystal Palace (a) 3pm No live TV
Sat 18.04.2026 Bournemouth (h) 3pm No live TV
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm Sky
The PL note that scheduling of the Arsenal game is still "Subject
to participation in UEFA competitions and FA Cup."
To clarify, progress to the FA Cup Semi-final for either side would see the
Premier League game postponed due to a fixture clash.
We're not quite sure why the PL mention UEFA competitions for this
game; a Saturday teatime slot not impinging on any potential
involvement for either side in Champions League Semi-final slots on
Tue 28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026.
Re: Palace (a), the PL don't mention this game would move from the
Saturday - and be televised - were Palace in UEFA Conference League
Quarter-final action on Thu 09.04.2026.
That's exactly what happened at short notice when Palace progressed
to the last 16, with their PL home game versus Leeds pushed back 24
hours to Sun 15.03.2026 (2pm).
Whether Palace progress to the Quarter-Finals will be known after
their last 16 second leg on Thu 19.03.2026.
(Were Newcastle to defeat Barcelona, the scheduling of their
Champions League Quarter-final tie on Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed
15.04.2026 would also be a factor in when the Palace game is played.
If both sides were still in Europe, we don't know how that situation
would be resolved).
PS: Victory over Manchester City on Saturday would see the Magpies in
FA Cup Sixth Round action on or around Saturday April 4th. Defeat
would leave them with a free weekend.
U21s:
Salia sighted
Newcastle U21s 2
Northern Ireland U19s 1
Tuesday saw Newcastle U21s record a home friendly victory
behind closed doors, Georgian teenager Vakhtang Salia netting
on his long-awaited debut.
The striker has been injured since his move from Dinamo Tblisi was
completed at the start of the season but marked his first 45 minutes
with the opening goal for United.
The Northern Irish youngsters levelled before half time, but Joe
Brayson won it for the Magpies - Matheos Ferreira also seeing
his late penalty saved.
Team: A.Harrison, M.Miley (Epia 46), Watts, Pivas (Moran
46), Johnson (Bloomer 60), Harper, Palmer (Munda 80), Yildiz, Salia
(Fitzgerald 46), Brayson (Bailey 80), Mills (Ferreira 60). Subs

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:
1912
Bob Dennison
born, Amble.
(1929-34)
Centre
half whose first team debut came in a 2-0 home victory over Sheffield United
during February 1933.
The remainder of his ten senior outings came over the following fourteen
months, netting against the Blades and Aston Villa in the 1933/34 season.
Moving on to Nottingham Forest, Bob also appeared for both Fulham and
Northampton Town, later managing the Cobblers.
July 1954 saw Dennison appointed as Boro boss and he would remain at Ayresome
Park until 1963, handing Brian Clough his debut.
Following his sacking, Bob won £3,200 in an unfair dismissal case and went on
to take charge of Hereford United. Later acting as assistant boss of Coventry
City under Noel Cantwell, he helped the Sky Blues avoid relegation during a
three month spell in caretaker charge at the end of 1971/72.

Tommy Pearson
born, Edinburgh,
Scotland.
(1933-48)
Outside left
signed from
Murrayfield Amateurs
in his native
Edinburgh for £35
having being rejected
by Hearts after a
trial (Tommy's father - Tommy
Senior - was a
former Tynecastle
favourite).
Six seasons of
regular first team
football followed
before the league
programme was
curtailed due to the
outbreak of
hostilities.
Renowned for his
"double
shuffle"
dribble, Pearson
remained with United
during the
war years but was
posted to various
RAF camps.
As a result, he
represented various
clubs in wartime
games, notably: Blackburn
Rovers,
Bolton Wanderers, Spurs,
Birmingham,
Liverpool, Blackpool,
Stoke City, Walsall and
back in Scotland,
Hearts.
He also made one
appearance for
England in a
friendly
international
at SJP in December
1939, making the
numbers up against
his home country,
Scotland.
1947 saw Pearson
collect his only two
full Scottish caps:
a 1-1 draw with
England at Wembley
and a 1-2 reverse at
the hands of Belgium
in the Heysel
Stadium, Brussels.
Tommy left
SJP for Aberdeen in 1948
at
a cost of £4,000
and later coached and
managed The Dons -
also trying his hand
at sports writing
for the Scottish
Daily Mail.
Moving back to
Edinburgh, he worked
in a jewellery
business and for a
time scouted players
in the Lothian area
for Newcastle.
Also competing as
an amateur in the
Open Golf
Championship, Tommy
passed away in March
1999.

An afternoon kick-off at a
packed Anlaby Road saw First
Division Newcastle knocked out
of the FA Cup by the Second
Division Tigers - who were
managed by former Magpies
favourite, Bill McCracken.
Dominating the tie, a United
side clad in white shirts and
black shorts conceded what
proved to be the winner almost
from the kick-off in the second
half - future Magpie Ron
Starling beginning the move that
ended in Jimmie Howieson's shot
on goal being fumbled in by
goalkeeper Albert McInroy.

A narrow victory over the Shakers maintained United's promotion challenge -
although the visitors had an early goal ruled out when a linesman heard one of
their players make a false shout that resulted in a home player pulling
up.
Bury included brothers George and Bill Griffiths, the full back duo both the
subject of recent transfer interest by the Magpies.

Home defeat number ten of the season in 17 games was a drab affair,
former Magpie forwards Tommy Thompson and Johnny Dixon "giving an
object lesson in skill and thrust", according to Sunday Sun
reporter Ken McKenzie.
1954 Newcastle reserves fared rather better, winning 4-2 against Bury at
Gigg Lane in the Central League. Alan Monkhouse led the way with a hat-trick,
Len White also on target.

Nattrass and Geoff Nulty were
all missing.

Varadi(12)

Imre Varadi's sixteenth goal of the season was enough to secure a fifth
successive home win for Arthur Cox's side and keep faint promotion hopes alive.
Referee Ken Walmsley warned Ian Evans after he looked to catch David Mills with a stray boot that knocked him
out in the fifteenth minute and saw him replaced soon after.
That was the cue for home fans to spend the rest of the match booing him,
oblivious to the fact the assailant was actually fellow Tykes defender Mick
McCarthy.
United's on-loan striker needed five stitches in a cheek wound and later
admitted that his first recollection of the incident was coming round in the
dressing room.
1982 The reserves were on the wrong end of a 0-6 howking at
Villa Park, only some goalkeeping heroics from Steve Hardwick keeping the
score down.
1991
The reserves defeated Nottingham Forest 3-2
at SJP, Borussia Munchengladbach
defender Thomas Huschbeck making
his only United appearance as a
trialist and picking up a booking for his trouble.
Andy Hunt and Liam O'Brien put United 2-0 up early on before the visitors
levelled, only to then give Newcastle the points when former Darlington
defender Chris Hope registered an own goal.

A game recalled more for a disallowed
goal rather than the six United
netted (Kevin Scott putting past
his own keeper).
Robert Lee
"scored" at the Leazes
end from within his own half
only for the referee to rule it
out and bring play back for a
free kick to United awarded for
a Bees offside.
Joe Allon
and Paul Stephenson made their
Bees bows, but would
probably rather have been in the
stand cheering on the Toon.

1995 There was a 0-1 reserve defeat for United at Turf Moor against Burnley.
1996 The reserves were on the road again, winning 1-0 against Wolves at

Mick McCarthy's Premiership record for the mackems 2005/06:

The final nail in McCarthy's coffin was an away defeat at Stuart Pearce's Manchester City - the
same venue that had claimed a certain G.Souness only a few weeks earlier....
2008
United's reserves beat Whitley Bay
2-1 to book their place in the
Northumberland Senior Cup Final against Blyth Spartans.
However, the Northern
League side pushed them all the way, ex-Toon trialist Lee Kerr
shooting home in the 90th minute to cancel out an earlier James Troisi effort. Wesley Ngo Baheng's first Newcastle goal
won the tie in extra time at Whitley

Having netted three, four and five
times in their previous trio of home games, United maintained their prolific scoring run at SJP with
six strikes against the Tykes.
However, the visitors had given a decent account of themselves in the opening 43
minutes, before 'keeper Luke Steele was dismissed after conceding a penalty.

2019 NUFC issued the following
statement:
"Newcastle United can confirm that Peter Beardsley is no longer
employed by the club.
We are grateful for the contribution Peter
has given over the years as a player, coach and ambassador and we wish him
well for the future."
Beardsley was suspended on full pay as
Newcastle's U23 coach in January 2018, following allegations of racism and
bullying made by members of his playing squad that were later upheld by an
FA inquiry.
