Stats:
This will be Newcastle's second visit to this venue, after a 3-1

Ameobi netted twice and Lomana Lua got the other goal.
Our report

2023/24 Dortmund lost 0-2 (CL)
U19s:
Last lap for
youngsters
Newcastle U19s play their final UEFA Youth League later today,
facing Bayer Leverkusen at
Ulrich-Haberland Stadium, in the shadow of
the BayArena.
It's a 2pm kick-off local time and admission is free
to all.
The young Magpies will be looking for their first points of the
campaign, following defeats in all five previous matches. Due to the
format of the competition, there are no U19 fixtures mirroring the
first team ties against PSV and PSG.
FAC3 :
Cherries at home
The FA Cup Third Round draw took place on Monday evening,
handing the Magpies a home tie against Eddie Howe's old side, Bournemouth.
The two sides drew 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League
earlier this season, Andoni Iraola's side due on Tyneside for the
return game in April.
This is the third time that the Magpies and Cherries have been
paired in this competition - all in the Third Round.
Newcastle ran out 2-0 winners on Tyneside in 1973, drawing 0-0 in
Dorset in 1992 and then losing the replay on penalties after a 2-2
draw that followed an abandonment due to fog days earlier.
Ties will be played on and around the weekend of Saturday January
10th, coming between Newcastle's PL home game against Leeds on
Wednesday January 7th and PL visit to Wolves on Sunday January 18th.
That means we will face five league and cup home games in 21 days, plus a
PL trip to Wolverhampton. That could become six if a home Carabao
Cup semi-final appears.
A reminder that there are no longer replays at this stage.
Talk-in:
Early derby date
There's a pre-derby day gathering at Fleet Street
in Newcastle this Saturday afternoon, featuring ex-Magpies
John Anderson, Mick Quinn and Steve Watson.
Ando appeared in six derbies, the most memorable on New
Years Day 1985 when Peter Beardsley grabbed a hat-trick and
the visitors ended up with nine men on the field.
Quinny got five under his belt (and was booked in four), the
last of which was a vital home victory as the club fought
relegation in 1992 and David Kelly scored a "spawny goal".
Watto meanwhile was unbeaten in all four of his derbies,
including the 2-1 fan lockout victory at Roker in 1996.
Tickets cost £15 including a pie and a pint on
arrival and things get underway at 1pm.

Premier League:
mackems (a)
The 156th senior
competitive Tyne-wear derby takes place on Sunday in SR5.
It's a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
Newcastle received 2,528 tickets, mirroring what the mackems get for the
return fixture on Tyneside next year.
That reduced amount follows the decision to close the (front) balcony
sections of the SJP away area in Leazes L7 for safety reasons and
reduce the allocation accordingly.
The maximum number of away fans allowed for Premier League fixtures
on wearside this season so far is 3,086.
Match tickets come in digital format - the ticket transfer scheme won't be in
operation for this game.
Phone banks, vapes and coins are all banned there.
There's no requirement to travel on buses provided by NUFC - these
had to be pre-booked and bookings have ended.
Buses will depart from SJP between 11am and 11.30am and wristbands
issued that need to be displayed to obtain access to buses for the
return trip post-match.

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.

On This Day in History |
|
10th December |
|
Born Or Died:
1872 Billy Lindsay born, Stockton.
(1898-1900)
Right back who had briefly featured for Everton before joining
Grimsby Town in 1894, becoming captain and a kingpin of the Mariners side over
the next four years.
Tempted to Tyneside in February 1898, Billy debuted in a 3-0 home win over
Lincoln City later that month and captained United in the top flight the
following season.
The first of two stints with Luton Town came in 1900 - sandwiching a spell
with Watford - before Lindsay wound down his career at Hitchin Town, retiring
in 1909.
Remaining in the Luton area, Billy passed away in February 1933.
1926 John Duncan born, Glasgow, Scotland. (1950-53)
Defender acquired from Ayr United in November 1950, playing
initially at full back before his conversion to a striker after an injury to
Jackie Milburn caused a vacancy in the forward line.
Debuting in a 2-1 victory at Preston North End in September 1951, a
knee injury curtailed John's career and he was forced to retire in 1953 - making a brief attempt at continuing as a goalkeeper!
Returning to Ayr, Duncan later ran a road haulage business. His death was
recorded in Glasgow during 1984.
1990 Kazenga LuaLua born, Kinshasa, DR Congo (2005-11)
Reserve and Academy striker who made
a senior bow from the bench in the FA Cup Third round tie at Stoke City in January
2008 under Sam Allardyce.
'Zenga managed four more substitute games that season - one for caretaker boss Nigel Pearson and the others for Kevin Keegan.
That season ended with him scoring in the Northumberland Senior Cup Final
against Blyth at SJP with a rocket shot to earn extra time for his side. Lua
then converted in the subsequent penalty shootout that saw his side claim the
silverware.
Injury disrupted his pre-season and he broke down again in a
reserve game against Newcastle Blue Star, ruling him out for almost four
months.
Returning to reserve team action and netting in the FA Youth Cup, 'Zenga
joined Doncaster Rovers on loan in March 2009.
Following further bench outings for United, a loan move to Brighton and Hove
Albion came in February 2010, with a second Seagulls switch agreed that July.
A broken ankle sustained at Hartlepool in November 2010 sidelined 'Zenga until
the following May - when he made two further senior sub appearances for
Newcastle.
Loan number three to Brighton was agreed in July 2011 and soon made permanent
for an undisclosed fee.
Five seasons of Championship football followed, Lua invariably utilised as an impact
substitute for the Seagulls.
His final senior appearance for Albion came from the bench
at Gallowgate during August 2016 and by the following January he'd been loaned out to QPR
- facing the Magpies once again.
Returning to Loftus Road on another half season loan in July 2017, Lua finally
left the Seagulls in January 2018 as a free agent.
Joining the mackems for the remainder of their ill-fated season
he managed
only half a dozen sub outings before departing.
His next port of call was then Luton Town on a one
season deal that was later extended, after the Hatters
gained promotion to the Championship.
Released in summer 2021 he joined Turks Genclerbirligi,
moving to Greek side
Levadiakos a year later.
LuaLua returned to the UK with League One Charlton Athletic in March
2024 but managed just four substitute appearances before
being shown the door.
A return to football then came at National
League Hartlepool United that November. He left
'Pools in January 2025.
Kazenga's elder brother Lomana was at United between
2000 and 2004 but rather confusingly, the younger of
the two was referred to as a cousin of Lomana in
club publications and newspapers at the time.
1991 Bradden Inman born, Adelaide, Australia
(2005-13)
Midfielder who moved to England with his family to pursue a
dream of becoming a professional footballer, first appearing for the Magpies
as a schoolboy.
Breaking into the U18 side in 2007, a reserve debut came in
September 2008 against Sheffield United in a 0-3 Central League Cup defeat at
Whitley Park.
Given a choice of international call-ups due to parentage, Brad opted to
represent Scotland and debuted in an U19 friendly against France in February
2009.
That came a month after his progress led to a non-playing
substitute role in United's Premier League game at Manchester City.
He then made the bench for the Carling Cup tie at Peterborough in September
2009, starting for Newcastle's senior side in their opening pre-season game of
the 2010/11 season, at Carlisle United.
And soon after that, a first appearance for Scotland's U21 side came in a
friendly against Sweden staged at St. Mirren.
Loaned out to League One side Crewe Alexandra in 2012,
he netted
against Preston North End on his debut.
That loan was then extended until the end of the season and after turning down
a new deal at United, Inman joined the Railwaymen permanently in August 2013.
Playing over 100 times for Crewe in three seasons, he signed for Peterborough
United as a free agent in summer 2016.
That switch came shortly after a belated senior international call-up for
Australia for a friendly against England at the stadium of plight -
although Brad remained unused.
Sustaining a broken leg in 2017, he was loaned
to Rochdale in January 2018 and later made a permanent switch there.
Released in 2019, Inman returned to
Australia with A-League side Brisbane Roar,
subsequently appearing for ATK Mohun Bagan (India), Odisha
(India), Western United (Australia) and Mumbai City
(India).
2023 then found him back in his native Australia with Gold Coast
Knights.

Division One
Stevenson(40,50)
Hulse(6,10), Hurst(7,2-4)
5,000
Bottom of
Division One, Newcastle's hopes of a first away win of the
season were rapidly dashed on their maiden league visit to
Ewood Park - although they had played there the previous
season as part of a "test match" (forerunner of
the playoffs).
1904 Nottingham Forest
(a)
3-1
(2-1)
Division One
Gosnell(26), Appleyard(35), Veitch(89)
Niblo(23)

Despite former
Magpie Tom Niblo heading the hosts ahead, a sixth
successive win strengthened Newcastle's position at the
top of Division One.
1910 Blackburn Rovers
(a)
1-3
(0-0)
Division One
Duncan(75)
Davies(57,70), Garbutt(62)
12,000
Newcastle travelled by train from their overnight base
in Manchester but failed to change at Bolton as planned
and travelled back from Preston in a fleet of motor cars.
Without Bill MCracken and Peter McWilliam, United reached
the interval scoreless but were then undone three times
within a 14 minute period.
 1921 Middlesbrough (a)
1-1 (1-1)
Division One
Harris(20)
Birrell(30)
35,000
One reporter insightfully noted that,
"as usual in such local tussles, science too
frequently gave place to vigour."

(1-2)
Division One
Seymour(30)
Hoar(10),
Hulme(16),
Brain(55),
Parker(75)
42,630
There was testing debut at Highbury for
Tom Evans at left
back, while Willie Wilson faced penalty kicks in both
halves.
The Newcastle custodian blocked Tom Parker's 16th minute
spot kick, but Joe Hulme was there to net the
rebound.
Parker was then denied by Wilson from 12 yards on 75
minutes, only for the penalty taker to convert at the
second time of asking when the ball
fell back to him.
Following Stan Seymour's opportunistic strike, United came
close to levelling before half time when Tom McDonald
struck the crossbar and Bob Mackay hit a post during the
same attack.
1932 Blackburn Rovers
(a)
1-2
(1-0)
Division One
Lang(17)
T.McLean(57pen), Dix(78)

the Sunday Sun, after a defeat at Ewood Park that
could have been by a greater margin were it not for the
United defence.

(3-0)
Division Two
Mooney(10,27pen,35), Clifton(48,60,81)

Coming between away
games at Aston Villa and Stoke
City, United visited Penydarren Park for this Monday
afternoon (2.45pm) kickabout.
Merthyr-born Bill Foulkes captained the Magpies and netted twice
as his side recovered from 0-2 and 1-3 deficits to claim
victory.
The Newcastle players were presented with souvenir
cigarette lighters during a pre-game luncheon hosted by
the mayor.

A remarkable game that saw Newcastle come from
1-4 and 2-5 down with three goals in the last 12
minutes and they almost won it in the final
seconds.
 1966 Chelsea (h)
2-2 (1-1)
Division One
Davies(36), Robson(90)
Baldwin(44), Tambling(70),
32,529

before Pop Robson salvaged a point in the final
seconds against the club he'd play for some 16
years later.

 1977 Queens Park
Rangers (a)
1-0
(0-0)
Division One
Robinson(63)
15,251
Stuart Robinson's second senior game brought a first
senior goal as United were victorious at Loftus Road,
winning for the first time on the road at the ninth
attempt that season.
19 year old goalkeeper Kevin Carr marked his first team
debut with a clean sheet after replacing Steve Hardwick.
1980
Magpie boss Arthur Cox
dispensed with the services of alleged striker Billy Rafferty,
sold to Portsmouth for £80,000.

achieving promotion from that league for the second time in his career,
following on from Plymouth in 1975.

(2-2)
Division Two
Keegan(2), Beardsley(42),
McDermott(82), Waddle(62,89)
Wilson(19),Jones(44)
25,747
A victory not quite as convincing as the scoreline suggests; goals
from Phil Wilson and Paul Jones for The Terriers had
deservedly tied the score at 2-2
by half time.
 1988 Wimbledon (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
Hendrie(41,81)
Gibson(51)
20,292
Newly-installed Newcastle Manager Jim Smith handed a

Barnes(10), Pearce(21)

United had ended their interest in the Champions League long before group leaders Kiev came to
Tyneisde. This win was still a decent way to
end the campaign though.

Stuart Pearce celebrates
his spectacular strike 2002
Torrential rain caused the Champions League group game against Barcelona
to be postponed - but only for 24 hours. Thousands of United fans
managed to extend their trip to see the game go ahead the
following night. 2003
An
afternoon reserve visit to Bootham Crescent saw United
beaten 3-4 by the Minstermen. Michael Chopra, Andy
Ferrell's penalty and Bradley Orr netted.

 2005 Arsenal
(h)
1-0 (0-0)
Premiership
Solano(82)
52,297
A committed blood and guts display won three precious points against
the ten man Gunners. Nobby Solano's
strike gave us our first win in seven attempts at SJP against
Arsenal when he steered home a right-footed
drive at the Leazes two days before his 31st birthday.
It was also a memorable evening for
Scott Parker, although the chances are that he'll recall very little about it. Losing
a tooth when knocked to
the ground by 'keeper Jens Lehmann, Parker continued after lengthy
treatment.
His night ended after
scrambling on his hands and knees to dispossess Kolo Toure. before waving to the bench
and collapsed in a dazed heap.

Without a recognised central defender in the
squad, United paid
the price for fielding a makeshift
backline at Carrow Road.
Danny Simpson and James Perch deputised for injured duo, Fabricio
Coloccini and Steven Taylor in central defence
with
Davide Santon and
Ryan Taylor at left and right back.
It
was a recipe for disaster
as the Canaries took full advantage and only another fine display from two
goal Demba Ba gave travelling fans anything to cheer about, a rare outing
for Dan Gosling ending with his senseless dismissal.

United's fourth successive defeat at Craven Cottage left them just above
the relegation zone, old boy Damien Duff again engineering
our downfall, providing the cross for the winning goal.
Ben Arfa's deflected shot had equalised after the break, with Sidwell
putting the home side in the lead, also via a lucky ricochet.

Dwight Gayle
ended his mini goal drought in spectacular fashion with a hat-trick that
blew away the Blues at SJP.
Gayle made it 16 for the season with possibly the easiest treble of his
career to fire United back to the top of the table - Brighton briefly
replacing Rafa's side the previous night.
