Midweek misadventure
Swansea
City 3 Newcastle 0
Newcastle's winning run came crashing to a halt at Swansea's Liberty Stadium on
Wednesday evening as just about everything went wrong for Alan Pardew's side.
The three-goal deficit was harsh on United as a combination of non-decisions
from referee, Howard Webb and some bad luck undid the Magpies but luck and form
deserted the visitors.
It was also a night to forget for Tim Krul who could look back at all three
Swansea goals with regret but two or three penalty claims were waved away by
Webb and the non-whistler also failed to dismiss goalscorer Jonjo Shelvey for
an intention to head-butt Mathieu Debuchy.
A fairly sterile first period had seen Loic Remy go closest for United -
wearing the blue away kit - but his well directed header was tipped wide by
Michel Vorm.
But his opposite number, Krul, had very little to do until the first minute of
added time when he made a mess of punching a cross and it fell straight to
substitute Nathan Dyer who volleyed home from eight yards.
Newcastle started the second period with renewed intent and the turning point
of the game came when Remy found time and space in the box to fire goalward
only for a clear handball deny the Frenchman his ninth goal of the season.
Debuchy's cross had also hit the arm of Ashley Williams but both offences were
missed, although Debuchy's frustrated late challenge seconds later was spotted
and punished with a booking.
It was pretty much game over midway through the second period when Webb waved
away more penalty appeals from Yoan Gouffran after he was pushed in the back by
Williams and Swansea broke upfield.
Shelvey was put clean through and Debuchy almost got a last ditch tackle on the
City player but the ball was saved by Krul and unluckily bounced back off
Debuchy into the goal.
Shelvey had an effort saved by Krul but having got away with his coming
together with Debuchy, he curled a first time effort over Krul to make it a
miserable night for Newcastle and secure the points for the Swans with nine
minutes remaining.
The defeat only saw us drop down a place to seventh with Spurs going above
United after their win at Fulham.
There was more bad news pre-match with Hatem Ben Arfa and Papiss Cisse missing
from the squad with illness and a heel injury, respectively.

Webb - first Toon appointment this season and hopefully his last. He carried on
his World Cup Final embarrassment of failing to give any major decisions and
three penalty claims and a red card for Shelvey weren't given.
On the flip side, Cabaye was lucky to escape a booking for a challenge form
behind and Sissoko also escaped a yellow for dissent. Both were just one
booking away from suspension.

Redevelopment:
Investment confirmed
United have published
plans for a proposed redevelopment of their Darsley Park training ground that
will drastically expand and improve facilities.
Subject to planning consent, work is scheduled to begin in 2015 and take up to
a year to complete, involving the demolition of the present structures on
site.
No precise figure for the cost of the redevelopment has been given other than
a vague "multi-million pound" one, but this represents a significant
investment in the club - something that's slightly surprising given
uncertainty over our long-term goals and ownership.
U18s:
Heardman
halts
Reds revival
Newcastle U18s 3 Liverpool U18s
3
United ended a run of
four consecutive home losses at Little Benton on Saturday - but only thanks to
the late and decisive intervention of substitute Tom Heardman.
The striker had only been on the pitch for a matter of moments when heading
home with his second touch of the ball to level the game at 3-3 on 78
minutes.
That halted the progress of a Reds side who conceded efforts from Jonathyn
Quinn and Macauley Booth before reducing the arrears seconds before the
interval.
And by the time Heardman arrived from the bench, his side were trailing after
losing the initiative to the visitors, who swarmed forward and made their
chances count.
The opening stages of the game saw a procession of chances made and missed by
both sides before Quinn gathered a pass from Dan Barlaser in the 24th minute
before shooting beyond goalkeeper Andrew Firth.
United doubled their lead five minutes before the break, after Firth tipped a
long range free kick from Callum Roberts at the expense of a corner. Roberts
took that, dropping the ball into the Liverpool six yard box for defender
Booth to force it over the line from close in.
Back came the Reds though and dangerman Sergi Canos saw his shot blocked by
Jonathan Mitchell, only for the rebound to sit up nicely for Ryan Kent to nod
home.
United winger Rolando Aarons was proving to be a real handful for the visiting
defence and his trickery came agonisingly close to restoring our two goal lead
after 53 minutes - only for his jinking run into the box to end with a
powerful rising shot thudding off the crossbar.
And that miss was to prove costly, when Jerome Sinclair volleyed home on 71
minutes before Booth got back to clear a goalbound effort from Conor Randall
as the Reds threatened to inflict further damage on their
hosts.
That proved to be only a temporary reprieve however, Harry Wilson breaking into the box
on 76 minutes to lob a stranded Mitchell and give Liverpool a 3-2 lead.
Despite camping in the Newcastle half for the remainder of the contest, the
Reds were unable to force another goal and it ended honours even - United
deservedly making it four games without
defeat.
Team: Mitchell, Sterry (Storey 46), Cameron, Olley, Booth, Gillesphey,
Roberts (Heardman 76), Drennan, Quinn, Barlaser, Aarons Subs n/u:
Pearson, Gibson, Kerridge.

A tale of three cities!
A 1-2 defeat by Birmingham
City appeared to have ended Newcastle's U21 Premier League Cup campaign at
the first time of asking on Tuesday - but within 72 hours, the Magpies were
back in the competition!
Birmingham's on-loan striker Aaron Mclean scored both goals to defeat United -
but it subsequently transpired that the same player had played and scored for
parent club Hull City in the previous round of the
competition.
Following talks
with the Premier League, Birmingham opted to
withdraw and United were promptly reinstated
into the
last 16
- where they'll play Leicester City at home on a date yet to be
confirmed.

with just eight men on the field after a trio of red cards in the closing
minutes.
Romain Amalfitano

A fifth away draw of the season for Dijon in Ligue 2, the on-loan winger
arriving as a 64th minute substitute in a 1-1 stalemate at Nimes on Friday
evening.
James Tavernier/Haris Vuckic (Rotherham United)
A double debut at the New York Stadium on Saturday, as Gillingham were

Milestones for old boy
Having last donned his
gloves competitively back in January 2013, former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay
Given completed a deadline day loan move from Aston Villa to the smoggies
on Thursday.
A winning debut for Given against Bolton Wanderers at the Riverside on
Saturday then saw the 37 year-old complete 600 senior appearances in all competitions at
club level and also gain entry to a very exclusive club.
A year before joining United in 1997, Shay had a loan stint at the mackems,
meaning that a Boro bow will see him emulate Billy Agnew, Stan Anderson and
Alan Foggon in representing clubs on the Tyne, wear and tees.
(That list excludes wartime guest appearances and also non-first team games -
the latter meaning that former NUFC academy trialist Danny Graham isn't
mentioned).

On This Day in History |
|
4th December |
|
Born Or Died:
1899 Charles William Spencer born, Washington, County
Durham (1921-28)
Picked up by United from local
league football, half back Charlie was converted to a centre back at Gallowgate
(although he'd actually begun his career as a goalkeeper).
Making his debut in a 2-1 home victory over Bolton in March 1922, the only goal
of his Magpies career arrived against Stoke City at SJP just over a year later.
Capped twice by England in 1924 and 1925, Spencer made 34 league appearances in
United's 1926/27 championship-winning season but exited the club in the summer
of 1928, joining Manchester United for £3,250.
After departing Old Trafford in in 1930, Spencer later served as player/manager
of both Tunbridge Wells Rangers and Wigan Athletic, before taking charge of
Grimsby Town between 1937 and 1951.
After a brief spell with Hastings United, Charlie took over at York City in
November 1953. However he passed away barely three months into his tenure at
the Minstermen.
1900 Christopher Swan born, Byker.
(1919-23)
Inside forward who joined United after WW1 but struggled to hold down a
first team place following his debut in a 0-1 reverse at Burnley in April 1920.
Departing for Stockport County on a free transfer, Chris later appeared for
Hull City and Crystal Palace before ending his playing days with Scarborough in
1932.
Swan's death was recorded in Bournemouth, in 1979.
1943 Les O'Neill born, East Hartford.
(1961-65)
Former
pitman who began his playing career with New Hartley Juniors and joined
United from Blyth
Spartans.
Les was a regular in the Magpies reserve side but made just one first senior
appearance - a 5-2 loss at
Portsmouth in October 1963.
Suffering a career-threatening
injury that sidelined him for almost a year, Les left for Darlington in search of first team
football and later joined Bradford City.
However it was a five year spell with Carlisle United that brought O'Neill to
prominence, his goals helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to Division One in
1973/74.
Les then scored at Stamford Bridge and Ayresome Park
(twice) in Carlisle's opening two top-flight fixtures the following
season.
A knee injury curtailed his career although he
later turned out for Queen of the South.
Following his retirement from playing, Les became a milkman in Carlisle,
returning to Brunton Park as a coach and also enjoying spells in charge
of Penrith and Workington.
In 1991 former Carlisle team mate John Gorman recruited Les to his
backroom staff at Swindon and he remained there until sacked in 1998
from the post of chief scout.
Les then scouted for Blackpool before linking up once again with John
Gorman to oversee scouting duties for Wycombe Wanderers.
Les later frequented the pro-celebrity golf circuit in Spain,
along with fellow former Magpies Chris Waddle and Billy Rafferty - plus Stan
Boardman. Calm down.
1952 Kevin Richardson born, Newcastle
(coach, 2011-present)
As a youngster, Kevin played for Montagu Boys Club in the West
end of Newcastle but left as a teenager to join Everton.
The midfielder would enjoy a twenty year career with the Toffees, Watford,
Arsenal, Real Sociedad (Spain), Aston Villa, Coventry City, Southampton,
Barnsley and Blackpool - and also won a single senior England cap.
Backroom roles at the mackems (twice), Stockport County and Darlington followed
before Kevin joined the Newcastle Academy coaching staff on a full time basis
in 2011 - having worked with younger age groups since 2009.

Division Two
Campbell, Harvey, Ostler
Wigmore

One of only two visits to The Northolme for United, as Gainsborough
enjoyed a two season spell in league football.
1909 Liverpool (a)
5-6 (5-2)
Division One
Shepherd 4, Howie
Stewart(2), Parkinson 2, Orr 2, Goddard
22,000
Unbelievably, United were 5-2 ahead at half time, but wilted under
tremendous pressure, as former United player Ronald Orr hit two goals
and Goddard headed a late winner for the home side.
1920 Aston Villa (h)
2-1 (1-1)
Division
One
Seymour, Smailes
Kirton
25,000
One of only two runouts for reserve outside right, Andrew Gray.

Stobbart
Mitten

With Old Trafford still unable to host games due to wartime bomb
damage, this fixture was played at Maine Road.
The crowd for this game remained a record high for a league fixture
involving Newcastle until 2006, when 75,664 fans saw the same two teams
do battle - at Old Trafford.

Division One
Gowling, Burns 2
Ross, Macdonald 3, Stapleton
35,000
A hat trick for Supermac against his former side on a frosty Highbury
pitch.
The highlight was a
much-repeated power header to finally kill the game off at 5-3, after a
Magpie comeback was underway.
 1982 Charlton Athletic (a)
0-2 (0-1)
Division Two
McAllister, Simonsen
10,381
Without both Kevin Keegan and Imre Varadi (who had scored 16 of
United's 25 league goals to date), Arthur Cox's side struggled at The
Valley.
Liverpool loanee Howard Gayle moved out of midfield and into the number nine
shirt, while there was a first outing of the season for winger Paul Ferris.
The Addicks were inspired by big money signing Allan Simonsen, who
scored a fine second goal.
1988 At last a new manager, as
Jim Smith agreed to leave QPR for Tyneside - ending a three month search
for a successor to the sacked Willie McFaul.
The Bald Eagle too charge for the first time six days
later, against Wimbledon at SJP.
 1993
Tottenham Hotspur (a)
2-1
(0-0)
Premier League
Beardsley(55,90)
Barmby(61pen)
30,780
A league debut for Mike Jeffrey, as two pieces of Beardsley genius won it.
After being pegged back by a Nicky Barmby penalty, Mike Hooper made a crucial stop
and Beardsley then jinked past three defenders to wallop home a
memorable winner in the closing seconds at White Hart Lane.
 1999
Aston Villa (a)
1-0
(0-0)
Premiership
Ferguson(65)
34,531
Wind, rain, snow and hail made for miserable afternoon at Villa
Park, with the onfield fare doing little to raise the temperature among
fans.
Duncan Ferguson was to change all that however, getting on the end
of a cross from Temuri Ketsbaia and out-muscling future Toon assistant
boss Colin Calderwood to head in.
Completing a trio of future Magpie coaches, Alan Thompson appeared
as a home sub and was then subbed himself, while Steve Stone sat
shivering on the bench all game.

match report
2000 A desperate 1-2 home defeat at
Kingston Park by Bradford City's Reserves. United led early on through a Shola Ameobi header but Giuseppe Lo Piccolo equalised on the
half hour and Robbie Blake got an late winner courtesy of Ryan
McGuffie's suicidal backpass.
NUFC.com match report 2003
Newcastle's
Pontins league
reserve side
recorded their best win of the season and a fourth consecutive
win, as a young Lincoln City were efficiently disposed of 6-0 at
Whitley Park. Striker Lewis Guy
(2), midfielder Andy Ferrell (2), Robbie Elliott and an OG
found the net.

 2004

Premiership
Lampard(63), Drogba(69), Robben(89), Kezman(90pen)
42,328
Four second half goals made it a
miserable day in South West London as defensive frailties once again undermined a promising first half
display from Graeme Souness's side.Defensive
clangers from Laurent Robert, Ronny Johnsen, Titus Bramble and
Shay Given made a difficult job mission
impossible, leaving United with just four points from their last six
games.
NUFC.com match report
2005 The draw for the Third
Round of the FA Cup handed The Magpies a home tie against League Two
strugglers Mansfield Town.
Ball number 27 was selected from the pot by Chelsea old boy Peter Osgood,
while former mackem 'keeper (and Magpies coach) Jimmy Montgomery selected the Stags.
2006 Playing their final home league game of
the year, Newcastle reserves were beaten 3-1 at Kingston Park by
Middlesbrough -their first home defeat since April 2005.
After ten wins and eight draws, the table- topping Teessiders finally
ended Lee Clark's side's run, despite United scoring first - thanks to
a Carl Finnigan penalty.

match report
2011
United were
handed their first FA Cup Third Round home tie since since 2006 when paired with fellow Premier League side Blackburn Rovers
in the draw.
The two sides had already met in cup competition, Blackburn winning
a Carling Cup tie 4-3 at Ewood Park two months earlier.
