PL2:
U21s in action
tonight
Half-time (7pm KO)
Newcastle U21s 2 Blackburn Rovers U21s
0
Newcastle's U21 side are currently in PL2 action against Blackburn
Rovers at Whitley Park.
The black and whites went ahead after 13 minutes, when Park
Seung-soo evaded two defenders before teeing up Sean Neave to drive
home his 13th U21 goal this season.
United doubled their lead four minutes before half-time, Park
cutting in from the left to unleash a curling right-footer - a
memorable first goal on home soil for the South Korean.
Rovers custodian Balke Wolsoncroft then did well to deny the hosts a
third goal before the interval, his noteworthy one-handed save
keeping out Anthony Munda's header.
More to follow...
Team: Harris, M.Miley, A.Murphy, Pivas, C.Thompson, Finneran,
Fitzgerald, Bailey, Neave, Munda, Seung-soo. Subs n/u: Adam
Harrison, Watts, Yildiz, Salia.
Booked: Bailey
BRFC: Wolsoncroft, Mullarky-Matthews, Pates, Pratt, Davies,
Dunn, Higgins, Garrett, Boggan, Tyjon, Sergeant.
Subs n/u: Decandia, Thompson, Ball, Vare, Joseph.
Booked: Mullarky-Matthews
Referee: Declan Brown
Needing a top 16 finish in order to enter the end of season
playoffs, United currently sit four points short, in 21st. Including
tonight, they have four games remaining.
The visitors are separated from bottom-placed side Derby County only
by goal difference.
Earlier: Following an upturn in form since he took charge on an interim
basis in January, Friday saw the Magpies confirm Robbie Stockdale
as their permanent U21 Lead Coach.
The 46 year-old native of Redcar arrived at United during February
2025 as assistant to Diarmuid O'Carroll, staying in post when Adam
Lawrence took charge last August.
Stockdale's first game as permanent boss is tonight,
when the U21s face Blackburn Rovers in PL2 at Whitley Park.
Premier League:
Chelsea
(a)

Eddie Howe's side return to Premier League action on Saturday,
facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
30 visits in this competition have harvested just 10 points from a
possible 90, with seven draws and one victory - the latter thanks to
the famous Papiss Cisse brace in 2012.
It's a 5.30pm
kick-off live on Sky Sports.
Team: Speaking to the media on Friday, Eddie Howe made no
mention of any new injury/illness problems, confirming that Anthony
Gordon was fit to start and that benching him against Barcelona was
his decision, not Gordon's.
Lewis Miley and Fabian Schar are both back in training, with the
former possibly returning to the squad for Barcelona.
Bruno Guimaraes is expected to be at the Nou Camp as a spectator
after returning from his rehabilitation in Brazil.
His playing return is predicted for early April;
presumably that means that he won't be considered for selection when
Brazil play friendlies against France and Croatia in the looming
international break.
If they keep their places in the first XI, Kieran Trippier
will make his 100th PL start as a Newcastle player and Lewis Hall
reach a half century of PL starts for the club.

Premier League
:
Arsenal (a) update
The chances of Newcastle's Premier League visit to the Emirates
Stadium going ahead as rescheduled on Sat 25.04.2026 with a 5.30pm
kick-off look to have reduced following Monday's FA Cup Quarter-final
draw.
The Gunners landed a last eight visit to Championship club
Southampton on or around Sat 04.04.2026, with victory in that
ensuring a Semi-final at Wembley for Mikel Arteta's side rather than
hosting United on Sat 25.04.2026.
Were that to happen, an alternative midweek date would be needed for
our game, notwithstanding possible Champions League
involvement for both or either clubs as follows:
CLQF1: Tue 07.04.2026 or Wed 08.04.2026
CLQF2: Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed 15.04.2026
CLSF1: Tue 28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026
CLSF2: Tue 05.05.2026 or Wed 06.05.2026
PS: West Ham's progress to FA Cup Quarter-finals means that their PL
visit to SJP on Sun 17.05.2026 remains tbc - given that the Cup
Final takes place on Sat 16.05.2026.
Premier League:
Palace (a) date still tbc

Update: Tickets are now on
sale to those who previously applied holding between 15 and 27
points. Closing date is Mon 16.03.2026 at 9am or early if all are
sold.
Newcastle's PL visit to Selhurst Park remains subject to alteration from the advertised 3pm
KO on Sat 11.04.2026.
Were Palace to win their UEFA Conference League 16 tie versus AEK
Larnaca they'd play
a Quarter-final first leg on Thu 09.04.2026.
The first leg at Selhurst Park ended 0-0, with the second leg in
Cyprus on
Thu 19.03.2026.
That would then see their PL home game against the Magpies delayed 24 hours to Sun 12.04.2026 - as
has happened for Palace's game
against Leeds this weekend*.
(*That's categorised as a PL displaced fixture, meaning that it's a
2pm KO, televised live on Sky Sports. Newcastle's game would be
similarly categorised if moved).
In the event that Newcastle were to defeat Barcelona in the
Champions League, the scheduling of a Quarter-final second leg on
Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed 15.04.2026 would also be a factor in when the
Palace game is played. That's because UEFA take no account of
domestic fixture scheduling when deciding the day that Champions
League ties are played.

Barcelona (a)

Following a 1-1 draw on Tyneside, the second leg of Newcastle's
Champions League Round of 16 tie against Barcelona is at the Nou
Camp on Wednesday.
It's a 5.45pm kick-off in the UK, 6.45pm in Spain.
Live coverage in the UK is on TNT Sports.
Should the scores be tied after 90 minutes, an additional 30 minutes
of extra time will played, with a penalty shootout then following if
required.
Barring an incredible second leg turnaround, the winners will face
Atletico Madrid in the Quarter-finals after they beat Spurs 5-2 in
the first leg of their last 16 tie.
Supporter information from NUFC is online
here
No power banks of any size are permitted.
Barcelona have secured a licence raising the capacity of the
unfinished Nou Camp to 62,652 with immediate effect.
As a consequence, the Newcastle allocation increased from
2,215 tickets to 2,986. They sold out on 45 points.
Due to that increased allocation, the away support has been
partially relocated within the Nou Camp - rendering some
previously-completed seat selections redundant.
Confirmation emails with new seats selected by NUFC are being sent
to the lead booker. The opportunity to select different seats wasn't
offered.

Old boy updates
From the BBC, Tuesday:
Former footballer Joey Barton and a second suspect have
been charged after a man was assaulted near a golf club.
It happened on Sunday at 21:00 GMT in Fairway, near Huyton and
Prescot Golf Club on Merseyside.
Officers arrived at the scene and found a man with injuries to
his face and ribs, Merseyside Police said.
Barton, 43, of Widnes, and Gary O'Grady, 50, of Huyton, are
due to appear at Wirral Magistrates Court later after being charged
with section 18 wounding with intent.
The victim is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
At a High Court hearing earlier over a libel claim involving
Barton, Gervase de Wilde, representing ex-England footballer Eni
Aluko, said his instructing solicitor had "received a call from a
duty solicitor in a police station in Liverpool" shortly before the
hearing.
Mr de Wilde told the court that Barton "was arrested yesterday
and is currently being held in custody".
(Barton was seen at SJP on Saturday night).
Earlier: Former Magpie Kevin Nolan was dismissed as Northampton Town manager, following a poor run that has left the
Cobblers in League One relegation zone.
Town's Director of Football Colin Calderwood - another SJP old
boy - has taken interim charge at Sixfields Stadium.
Meanwhile, Jack Colback has confirmed his retirement from
playing aged 36, having made just a single appearance for
Leicestershire-based non leaguers Anstey Nomads.
PS: AFC Wimbledon report that their scout and ex-Newcastle
defender Andy Thorn is recovering well after suffering a
heart attack in February.

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.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial 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 usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are offered to applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are
then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

Whoops, He did it Again... |

Sky Sports were seemingly
unaware that Newcastle drew with Barcelona - did away goals count
double or something??
What's this all about then?

Born Or Died:
1970 Graeme Jones born, Gateshead (2021-present,
coach)

January 2021 saw Newcastle recruit Bournemouth's Assistant Coach to work under Steve Bruce and
his assistants Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence.
The addition of Jones coincided with an uplift in results, Bruce
quick to claim that he had requested the appointment, amid claims
that it had been imposed upon him.
Released by Millwall as a
teenage striker, Jones worked as a heating engineer and postman whilst playing
for non-league Blue Star and North Shields.
Coaching at Newcastle's Football in the Community
programme, a second chance at a Football League career came when
Doncaster Rovers signed him from Bridlington Town in 1993,
fresh from an FA Vase Final success at Wembley.
Later playing for various clubs including Wigan Athletic and
St. Johnstone, Jones gained his
"A"
Licence in 1999 and coached at
Middlesbrough Academy.
Playing
with Roberto Martinez at Wigan, he became his assistant
at Swansea City in 2007 and later followed him to Wigan,
where they won the FA Cup in 2013.
Following spells with Everton and
the Belgian national team, they parted ways in 2018 when Graeme became assistant boss
at West Bromwich Albion, leaving within a year to become Luton Town
manager.
That proved to be ill-fated though and he left the Hatters in April
2020, reappearing four months later at Bournemouth, who were then
managed by Jason Tindall following the departure of Eddie Howe.
United reportedly paid £250K to release Jones from his contract the
following January, but within a week Tindall had been
sacked and Jonathan Woodgate (who replaced Jones as coach)
hastily installed as interim boss.
Bruce's departure from Gallowgate during
October 2021 saw
Jones
oversee the
first team for three Premier League games - 1-1 draws at Crystal
Palace and brighton book-ending a 0-3 home loss to Chelsea.
Howe then arrived with Tindall, who became joint assistant with Jones.
1982 Stephen Grindlay
born, Alexandria, Scotland. (1999-2001)
Goalkeeper who was brought to Tyneside from Celtic and went on
to appear for the Magpies at junior and reserve level.
Stephen also featured for a strong Magpies XI in a 5-2 friendly victory at
Berwick in August 2000, protected by a back four featuring Laurent Charvet and
Marcelino.
However, he failed to win a professional contract at United and following a
brief period with Grimsby Town, returned to Scotland with Dumbarton in
2001.
After six years at Boghead, the man known to fans as Shay moved on to Queen
of the South, joining Ayr United in 2008.
June 2010 then saw Stephen begin his second spell with Dumbarton,
helping the Sons of the Rock gain promotion from the Scottish Second Division
in 2012.
And in celebration of the goalkeeper racking up a decade of Sons service,
the 2014/15 season saw a series of testimonial events before he left the
club.
Moving into
Scottish Junior football with Beith Juniors, Stephen ended his first season on
a high, saving a penalty to win the Scottish Junior Cup in May 2016.

United arrived late but unscathed after their train was involved in a
derailment en route to the game and they had to switch to a coach in order to
reach Leeds Road.
Howeverfans travelling on the same train weren't so fortunate
and were left stranded north of York - delayed still further when a
railway worker attending to the broken-down locomotive was killed.
The kickoff was delayed by 25 minutes and future Magpies coach Tommy Cavanagh netted twice for the Terriers.
Newcastle clawed their way back and were pressing for a third
goal when Frank Brennan's slip let in Jimmy Glazzard for what proved to be the
winner.
1954
While the first team were in action at Leeds Road, St.James' Park hosted an FA Amateur Cup Semi Final
tie between Bishop Auckland and Spartan League side Brigg Sports.
Bishops won 5-1 but were then beaten by neighbours Crook Town in a Final that
went to three games, at Wembley, SJP and Ayresome Park.
1963
Norwich City (a)
0-5 (0-2)
FA Cup 4th Round
Allcock(1,6,49,57pen), Mullett(62)
34,825
The only positive from this embarrassing defeat was the
performance of Canaries right half Ollie Burton, who was persuaded to become a
Magpie in an £11,000 transfer, playing mainly at centre half for United.
Terry Allcock hit four goals - a fitting total for a
man who combined playing football with appearances in Minor Counties Cricket
for Norfolk.
1965

Division Two
P34, 45pts, 1st/22
Robson(10), Cummings(40)

P31, 28pts, 16th/22
Robertson(72)
17,060
A fourth league and cup meeting in less than five months with Bobby
Robson's Ipswich side saw United yet again unable to beat them.
And they were aggrieved at the manner of this defeat, goalkeeper Iam McFaul
adamant that he'd been hit in the stomach by Mick Mills while trying to stop a
shot from Jimmy Roberts that deflected off Ollie Burton.
1974
An afternoon kick-off saw just 4,511 fans at SJP to see England U23s beat
Scotland 2-0.
Goals from Bob Latchford and future Magpie David Mills won it against a Scots lineup including Newcastle's Alex Bruce and a certain G. Souness.
1976
West Ham United (h)
2-1 (1-1)
Division One
P31, 31pts, 14th/22
Macdonald(20), T.Craig (68pen)
Jennings(16)
33,866
Following a trio of defeats in three different competitions over the course
of just nine days, Newcastle returned to winning ways - but the result was a
good deal better than the performance.
There was a debut for goalkeeper Roger Jones, who had followed newly-appointed manager Gordon Lee
from Blackburn
Rovers.
1982
Rotherham United (a) 0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P29, 45pts, 8th/22
16,905
A last minute penalty save by Kevin Carr from Tony Towner brought the
Millers promotion charge to a stop.
Yorkshire TV later nominated it "Save of Season" and Carr was
presented with a dreadful portrait of himself that he probably hid behind a
wardrobe.
1984
Newcastle's reserve side posted their third successive clean sheet thanks to a
0-0 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Team: Thomas, Carney, Ryan, Hedworth, Saunders,
Haddock, Mills, McDonald, Dawes (Allon),
Carver, Ferris.
1986
Injuries to Martin Thomas and Dave McKellar forced United to borrow
veteran goalkeeper Dave Clarke from non-league side Blyth Spartans for a reserve game
against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
36 year-old
Clarke was at SJP early in his career and on
the bench during the Fairs Cup. He didn't let his old club
down, making several stops as United won 1-0 thanks to a Tony Nesbit
goal.
1993
Swindon Town (a)
1-2 (1-0)
Division One
P35, 71pts, 1st/24
Kelly(43)
Bodin(51pen), Calderwood(55)
17,574
A shocking penalty award gave Paul Bodin the chance to equalise against the
club that rejected him after taking him on trial.
Having made it 1-1, the referee and linesman then missed an outbreak of
basketball by Steve White as he controlled a pass and forced a corner. Cue
future Magpies coach Colin Calderwood who got the winner.
Within ten minutes Andy Cole had made his debut as a substitute, but didn't
have an opportunity to make an instant impact.

1995
Newcastle handed a trial to the central defender Diego Tur from Copenhagen.
The 23 year old failed to impress however and was soon back in his native Denmark.
Returning to England in 2000 as a trialist with Manchester City and available
on a free transfer,
Tur played a reserve game with manager Joe Royle in attendance but failed to
secure a contract.
1999
Manchester United (h) 1-2 (1-1)

P29, 38pts, 11th/20
Solano(16)
Cole(25,51)

Two goals for old boy Andy Cole and one bright note: Nobby Solano's fine free-kick at the Leazes End
giving Peter Schmeichel a red face to go
with his red nose.

FA Cup 6th Round
Kluivert(5)
51,307
Anyone who thought Newcastle had used up their FA Cup luck in the 1-0 home
victory over Chelsea in the previous round had to think again, as once more
Patrick Kluivert struck early on. Shay Given made an outstanding double save
from Robbie Keane and Jermaine Defoe; Spurs
also having a goal disallowed and two penalty claims refused, referee Rob Styles unusually giving United the benefit of the doubt.

United extended their unbeaten run to six games,
although there were more injury headaches for manager Chris Hughton, with Mike
Williamson ruled out beforehand and Fabricio Coloccini limping off.
Former Ranger Peter Lovenkrands put the Magpies ahead before ex-Celtic
midfielder Barry Robson equalised and fellow hoops old boy Scott McDonald put
Gordon Strachan's McBoro' ahead.
Andy Carroll though popped up to earn a point, getting on the end of Ryan
Taylor's cross to ensure United played out a third successive Riverside draw.
