Champions League:
Marseille (a)
Game number five for Eddie Howe's side in this season's Champions
League first phase campaign takes them to Southern France on Tuesday.
It's an 8pm GMT kick-off - 9pm local time in France.
Newcastle were allocated 3,000 tickets.
Updated fan information is online
here
Fans are required
to assemble at a designated meeting point at 4.30pm French time to
be put onto Metros for the stadium - four and a half hours before
kick-off, at 9pm.
That meeting point is Place de la Joliette, a square
situated to the north of the old port area.
NUFC stress that any fans who fail to comply with that mandatory
advice and attempt to travel to the stadium independently will be
denied access (except for disabled fans, who have separate
arrangements).
NB: stadium regulations state that small power packs for mobiles can
be taken in - something that's worth noting, given that digital
ticketing will be in use.
The post-match plan is the same in reverse, with fans returned to
the Place de la Joliette by metro following a hold-back of
unspecified duration.
Agreement with these measures looks to have been a condition of
receiving an away allocation, Atalanta fans treated similarly in
OM's last home CL tie. Ajax meanwhile didn't receive any tickets
after the French authorities imposed a blanket travel ban on their
supporters.
Team: Anthony Gordon and Emil Krafth have travelled, but Kieran Trippier
didn't and Yoane Wissa isn't available as yet. Dan Burn returns to
the squad after his domestic suspension.
Coral rate this tie as
follows:
NUFC win 11/8
The draw 5/2
OM win 15/8

OM:
Five players are expected to be out:
Nayef Aguerd, Amir Murillo, Facundo Medina, Hamed Traore and
Amine Gouiri.
Former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi's side have won just one of
their four Champions League games to date, scoring four goals
without reply at home to Ajax.
Suffering 2-1 defeats at Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon, Marseille
lost 0-1 at home to Atalanta last time out.
Marseille returned to action following the international break with
a 5-1 win at Nice in Ligue 1 on Friday - a result that took them
above PSG at the top of the table until the Parisians defeated Le
Havre 3-0 to resume pole position.
Referee: Maurizio Mariani. Rome-born official who refs in
Serie A. He was recently demoted briefly to Serie B after a
controversial performance in the Naples v Inter Milan match,
awarding two dubious penalties.
VAR: Marco Di Bello and Aleandro Di Paolo.

Stats:
This will be United's second visit to this venue, following a
0-2 loss there in May 2004 that ended their UEFA Cup run at the
semi-final stage.
57,000 fans were present that night to see Didier Drogba score twice
- the reconstructed Velodrome now has a capacity of over 67,000.

U18s:
Reds ahead
Newcastle U18s 1
Liverpool U18s 2
With neither side able to progress,
Newcastle U18s lost their final Premier League Cup group stage game
to Liverpool at Little Benton on Saturday morning.
Pointless after their opening two ties, the Reds went ahead in the
24th minute when Joshua Sonni Lambie was gifted possession outside
the United box and set up Joshua Abe, who made no mistake with a
strong finish.
Liverpool doubled their lead on 28 minutes when Lambie challenged
goalkeeper George Mair on the edge of the Newcastle area - a
fortunate deflection giving him the opportunity to find the empty
net with a precise shot.
Half time arrived with the hosts lucky not to be further behind and
although dominating the early stages of the second period, it was
the visitors who came closest to scoring again - Lambie hitting a
post on the hour.
The black and whites belatedly gained a foothold in the contest with
20 minutes remaining after a free kick was nodded back across goal
for Thomas Old to fire in.
That was the end of the scoring however, despite the Reds losing 15
year-old Abe
to injury in the final seconds of normal time with all of their
substitutes used.
Hadyn Murray-Holme's second booking of the contest then reduced
Liverpool to nine men after 90 seconds of what ended up as eight
additional minutes - resulting in some elongated possession for
United but little in the way of dangerous crosses or accurate goal
efforts.
Team: Mair, Johnson, Goodbrand (Bloomer 81), Moran (Durrant
78), Old, M.Miley (O'Donovan 78), Pinnington, Lucas, Wooster (E.Ndiweni
64), M.Taylor, Ferreira.
Sub n/u: Holland.
Booked: Goodbrand, Bloomer, Durrant
PS: The U18s were handed a home tie against Portsmouth in the Third Round
of this season's FA Youth Cup,
Date, time and venue confirmation is awaited, with ties to be played
on or before Saturday December 13th.

Update:
Russell Cushing RIP
Former Newcastle United official Russell Cushing has died
unexpectedly following a short illness. He was 78.
Norwich-born, Russell joined the Magpies in 1971 from the Canaries,
initially as Assistant Secretary before succeeding Malcolm Hoole as
Club Secretary two years later.
Cushing acted as United's General
Manager for many years, overseeing player contracts and transfers
ranging from Malcolm Macdonald's departure to Arsenal through to the
later arrivals of Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.
Other commitments included fixture arrangement, attending
disciplinary tribunals, involvement in commercial activities and
ticket sales - tasks later covered by an ever-increasing head count,
but all passing across his desk at the time.
That range of activities saw Russell act as a spokesman for United
on subjects ranging from wrangles over the ground lease with the
City Council to reconstruction in the wake of the Taylor Report. Any
incidents of hooliganism were also routinely following by statements
penned by him in the following match programme.
Appointed to the board in late 1989 ahead of Sir John Hall's arrival
at Gallowgate the following year, he served as Chief Operating
Officer from June 2001.
Russell ended an association with the Magpies spanning almost 36
years during 2007, in the months following the completion of Mike
Ashley's takeover.
Update:
Fame
The 2025 Newcastle United Foundation Dinner took place at SJP
last week, with a trio of new inductees to the club's Hall
of Fame.
Manager Eddie Howe was present to accept his honour, as was
ex-Magpie defender John Anderson. The third inductee was
former player and manager Glenn Roeder.
Update:
World Cup event
As part of this year's Books on Tyne Festival, Guardian football
writer Jonathan Wilson is talking about his latest book,
"The Power and the Glory - A New History of the World Cup" in
Newcastle later this month.
Venue is Newcastle City Library on Friday November 28th
at 2pm and tickets are available now online
here
Update:
Toon trophy haul
The annual Sport Newcastle dinner was staged in the
city on
Thursday, with Newcastle United
named Team of the Year for their Carabao Cup Final success and
Dan Burn carrying off the Sporting Success Award.
The Wor Jackie Award went to Newcastle United forward Sean Neave,
while academy prospect Les Yeutembip was selected as one of
11 Sport Newcastle Rising Stars.

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 |
|
24th November |
|
Born Or Died:
1909
George Mathison born, Walker.
(1926-33)
Right half who joined Newcastle from Walker Celtic and debuted in a 0-2
defeat at Bury in January 1929.
Moving on to Lincoln City in 1933, George later appeared for Gateshead, Burnley
and Hartlepools United.
By 1938 Mathison was with Blyth Spartans but soon
returned to Walker Celtic.
The brother in law of Magpies legend Hughie Gallacher,
George lived in Low Fell after hanging up his boots.
He died in April 1989.
1952 David Crosson born, Bishop Auckland. (1972-75)
Right back who came through the junior and reserve sides to
debut in a Texaco Cup tie at Birmingham City in October 1973.
Crosson's next four appearances then came in either the Texaco Cup or the
League Cup before he appeared in place of the injured David Craig in a 0-1
defeat at Manchester United in April 1974.
David's final outing came in a 0-3 defeat at Arsenal on March 1975 and he was
freed that summer, joined Darlington.
Remaining at Feethams until 1980 when he signed for Crook Town, Crosson later
continued his playing career at the unlikely destination of Tasmanian club
Rapids.
Settling on Australia's Gold Coast, David coached at Rapids,
rival sides Croatia and Glenorchy and then the Tasmanian national side.
1957 David McLean born, Newcastle.
(1975-78)
England youth international midfielder who was handed his
chance by Gordon Lee in April 1976 debuting as a
substitute in a 1-0 loss at Sheffield United.
After playing a handful of games during the time Richard Dinnis was in charge,
David didn't get a look in when Bill McGarry took over and went to Carlisle on
loan in 1978.
That transfer was made permanent but within a year David moved on to
Darlington, where he remained until 1986.
Spells at Scunthorpe United and Hartlepool followed before McLean moved into the
non-league with Whitley Bay and Brigg Town - having settled in Lincolnshire.
1958 Robert Sime "Roy" Aitken born, Irvine, Scotland. (1990-91)
After a prolonged chase, Newcastle boss Jim Smith finally
persuaded Celtic captain Roy to end a
fifteen year stint at Celtic in early 1990, moving to SJP for a £500K fee.
Making his debut in a bonkers 5-4 home win over Leicester in January 1990, the
31 year old midfielder represented Scotland at the World Cup in Italy that
summer.
However, the arrival of Ossie Ardiles at SJP saw him lose his first team place
as the new manager went for youth - the veteran berth in midfield going to
Kevin Brock.
Aitken left SJP at the start of the 1991/92 season in favour of a player-coach
role at St.Mirren, subsequently taking up a similar role at Aberdeen before
becoming installed as manager at Pittodrie in 1995.
Leaving three years later, a stint as head of youth
development at Al-Shabab in Dubai was followed by an offer to assist Leeds
United boss David O'Leary at Elland Road.

Following O'Leary to Aston Villa,
Roy's new hair colour was possibly his most notable achievement at Villa
Park, shedding the greying locks he'd sported at SJP in favour of a startling
shade of auburn.
After O'Leary's sacking in 2006, Aitken - by now a platinum blonde - took
caretaker charge of Villa ahead of Martin O'Neill's arrival, before joining the
SFA.
That was as part of the backroom staff assembled by former Dons team mate Alex
McLeish - and Aitken duly followed him to Birmingham City, moving to St. Andrew's
in November 2007.
July 2010 saw Roy opt to team up once again with David O'Leary, who had taken
the manager's job at Dubai-based Al-Ahli.
Aitken subsequently became Sporting Director of the club, remaining in post
following the acrimonious departure of O'Leary in 2011 until leaving in 2017. 
1967 Gavin Maguire born, Hammersmith, London.
(1991)
Welsh international defender who arrived on a month's loan from
Pompey in October 1991, making his Magpies debut in a 2-0 home win over
Leicester City.
The following week however he suffered the ignominy of being substituted at
half time while playing for Wales in a 4-1 defeat to Germany in Nuremburg - and
was never selected for international duty again.
And things were no better for him at club level, with just two more outings for
United before his loan spell was curtailed due to a knee injury.
Beginning his career at non-league Northwood, Maguire moved on to QPR where he
achieved a certain infamy for a career -ending tackle on Danny Thomas of Spurs.
After being shown the door at Gallowgate, Maguire went on the record as saying
he would "rather become a London cabbie than appear at Fratton Park
again".
We're not sure whether Maguire did the knowledge, but he played on for Millwall,
Scarborough and Harrow Borough before rounding things off back at Northwood.
And after his playing days were over, he settled in the Somerset town of
Shepton Mallet, owning the "Pure Hair" salon in nearby Somerton.
1987 Nicky Deverdics born, Gateshead.
(2004-06)
Left-footed, ball-playing midfielder who appeared at Academy
and reserve level, but was released by Newcastle in 2006.
Nicky moved into non-league football with Gateshead and Bedlington Terriers,
also having trials at both Gretna and Blackpool.
The former signed him in March 2007 and he helped Gretna gain promotion to the
SPL, going on to make 25 top-flight appearances the following season, scoring
twice.
However, the well-publicised problems of the Scottish minnows saw them resign
from the league, leaving their entire squad in limbo.
Nicky subsequently played for Barnet, Blyth Spartans, BÍ/Bolungarvík
(Iceland), Team Northumbria, Alfreton
Town, Newcastle Benfield, Gateshead (trial), TB Tvøroyri (Faroe Islands), Tadcaster Albion, Dover Athletic (twice), Hartlepool United,
and Wrexham.
Back in the region with second stints and Gateshead and Blyth Spartans, he
was also involved at the i2i Youth Academy.
1994 Nabil Bentaleb born Lyon, France.
(2020)
United's
first senior signing of the January 2020 transfer window, midfielder Bentaleb completed a loan
move from Bundesliga side Schalke 04 with an option to make the transfer
permanent.
An Algerian international, Nabil made 66 league and cup appearances for Spurs
after his debut in December 2013, his only senior competitive goal came against
us at White Hart Lane in the League Cup a year later.
It was claimed that the sale of Moussa Sissoko to Spurs during August 2016
involved talks over bringing Bentaleb to SJP in part-exchange, but he
swapped North London for Germany rather than dropping into
the Championship.
In his fourth season with Schalke and under contract until 2021 when moving to
SJP, Nabil had been exiled to the reserves the previous
April after a spat with coach Huub Stevens.
Failing to earn a recall after the arrival of David Wagner as Head Coach in
summer 2019, he then underwent knee surgery.
Debuting in a 0-0 FA Cup home draw against Oxford United, Bentaleb had made
six unimpressive appearances when the pandemic halted the season.
Remaining at the club, he scored the only goal of his Magpies career behind
closed doors at Gallowgate during a warm-up game against another Magpies XI
that June.
Nine more PL outings followed before the end of the season, at which point
Bentaleb was sent back to Schalke after making no impression whatsover.
Recalled to the Schalke first team the following September (for an 0-8
hammering by Bayern Munich), a groin injury ended his stint in the side the
following February - and they went on to avoid relegation in his absence.
A free agent in June 2021, rumours of a Premier League return with
Burnley failed to become reality and remained in France, joining Angers in January 2022 and Lille in August 2023.
He suffered a cardiac arrest in June 2024 and was told his career may be
over but he returned to action seven months later and scored just four
minutes after coming on as sub against Rennes.
1994 Jonathan Mitchell born, Hartlepool.
(2010-14)
Goalkeeper who switched from playing
rugby to the round ball game and graduated from the U16s to the reserves in January 2011 against Manchester City.
That ended in a 1-5 defeat at Hyde and came three months before his U18
debut against Barnsley.
Succeeding Alex Baird in goal for the U18s, the 2012/13
campaign saw Jonathan break into the second string before joining Workington
on loan.
Agreeing a new one year deal in 2013, he returned to
Workington for a further loan before injury to Woodman saw Mitchell
feature regularly for Newcastle's U18s.
Released in May 2014, Jonathan joined Derby County and made a senior
competitive debut in the FA Cup during January 2016.
Capped at U21 level by England, he was loaned to League Two side Luton Town
and appeared for parent club Derby in cup ties during the following two
seasons.
Further loans took Mitchell to Oxford United, Shrewsbury Town,
Macclesfield Town and Northampton Town.
Released by Derby in 2021, Jonathan agreed a permanent deal at hometown club Hartlepool United,
moving on to Doncaster Rovers in January 2022 and Harrogate Town in November 2023.
After leaving Harrogate he joined Spennymoor Town in September 2024.
1995 Macaulay Gillesphey born, Ashington. (2012-18)
Central
defender signed from Cramlington Juniors in 2011, awarded an Academy
scholarship the following year.
Macaulay enjoyed a memorable introduction to U18 league football in September
2012, netting within 12 minutes of his arrival from the bench during a visit to
the mackems - although the red and whites won 4-2.
Debuting for the reserves as a substitute in a 1-2 home loss to Bolton at
Whitley Park in May 2013, Gillesphey's first reserve goal against Wolves at SJP in August
2013.
Featuring at both
U18 and U21 level that season he was a regular starter for the second string
during the 2014/15 campaign, signing a professional deal in March 2015.
Macaulay was loaned out to
League Two Carlisle United along with fellow Magpie Alex Gilliead the following
season, making his senior competitive bow in the League Cup against
Liverpool at Anfield that September.
Gillesphey completed two full seasons
at Brunton Park, briefly returning to SJP for the 2017/18 season and reserve
team duty.
Following his release by Newcastle in June 2018, Macaulay unsurprisingly
put pen to paper on a permanent deal with Carlisle.
A year later though he
signed for Australian A-League side Brisbane Roar and
remained down under until 2021.
Gillesphey then returned to
England with Plymouth Argyle, scoring at Stamford Bridge in a Fourth Round FA Cup tie. It finished 2-1 to Chelsea after extra-time.
He moved to League One side Charlton Athletic in January
2024 and signed a two-year extension in July 2025.

Harris(60)
18,000
A fourth
successive league win for United was even more notable
for the fact that they played for an hour with ten men
after Bob Thomson limped off.
Neil Harris dropped into his full back position,
but scored the only goal of the game with a
powerfully-struck free kick.
1934 Notts County (a)
1-0 (0-0)
Division Two
Smith(56)
10,000
The game begin without referee Mr G.Twist, whose
delayed arrival at Meadow Lane saw linesman W.H.Waring
stand in for the opening seven minutes of play and a local
referee assume flag duties.
Amid swirling mists, a truncated half time break saw
the game resume almost immediately and reach a conclusion
as the fog began to make conditions farcical.
1934 At
Gallowgate meanwhile, a remarkable Central League game ended in
a 10-3 win for Newcastle reserves over Wolves.
Billy Cairns (6), Jack Wilson (3) and Tommy Pearson were the United

A memorable afternoon at a rain-soaked Maine Road saw
the home side go ahead before three goals in eleven
minutes put Newcastle firmly in control.
The Journal's
reporter hailed United as, "a
delight to watch and a professional triumph to
accomplish," praising City's goalkeeper Bert
Trautmann and his team mate and future Magpie, Ivor
Broadis.

Charles(57), James(90+5)
15,442
United's first visit to The Vetch Field since the
1964/65 season ended in a victory which kept them top of
the table.
After Terry Hibbit opened the scoring on the half hour
mark, Billy Rafferty grabbed his first goal for the club
with a header.
Jeremy Charles then got
one back before Alan Shoulder made it 3-1 against a Swans
side featuring old boy Tommy Craig.
City then belatedly reduced the arrears with a 96th minute
goal from Robbie James.
 1981

Margerrison(79)

The smallest post-war crowd to watch a Newcastle first
team saw them beaten at Brisbane Road in this Tuesday
night encounter.
John Margerisson scored the goal to win it for the
Second Division's basement side - but knew nothing about
it, as a corner kick flicked off his shoulder and
trickled in.
 1982
The annual national five-a-side tournament was staged at
the Wembley Arena and highlights televised on BBC1's Sportsnight
programme.
Newcastle inevitably exited in the first round, soundly
thrashed 0-4 by QPR.
 1984

0-1 (0-0)
Division One
Armstrong(65)
18,895
Having drawn their last four league games on the road,
United left The Dell pointless after their offside trap
was sprung by David Armstrong.
Gary Megson made his debut, coming off the bench in
place of the injured Peter
Beardsley.
"We were awful" admitted Toon boss Jack
Charlton afterwards.

Quinn(75pen)
13,774
Newcastle' seven match winless run ended thanks to a
pair of penalties: Mick Quinn scoring, but wearsider Gary
Porter missing his for the Hornets.
Striker Tommy Gaynor debuted for United on loan from
Nottingham Forest alongside Quinn, in place of the injured
Mark McGhee.
 1992
Ascoli (Italy) (h)
0-1 (0-0)
Anglo Italian Cup
Bierhoff(63)
9,789
David Kelly was sent off in this exceptionally violent
game after launching a pre-emptive strike as an Italian
player homed in on him.
Keegan and a policeman had to restrain the Ascoli coach
who made a grab for Kelly as he headed down the players
tunnel.
The Newcastle manager later commented "If I ever
get like that, shoot me." He also refused to fine
Kelly for being dismissed.
German striker Oliver
Bierhoff scored the only goal of the game, while future
Sheffield Wednesday, Villa, Derby, smoggies and Bradford
schemer Benito Carbone featured.
 1993
Sheffield United (h)

Sellars (9), Beardsley(12pen,73), Cole(70)
35,029
The feelgood factor from the previous Sunday's 3-0
home victory over Liverpool continued into this midweek
meeting with the struggling Blades.
The opener was deemed
to have been a Mitch Ward own goal by the PL
dubious goals panel - a decision that was over-turned by
the same organisation some years later.
 2001
Derby County (h)
1-0 (1-0)
Premiership
Shearer(30pen)
50,070
A tale of two penalties; one scored by Alan Shearer,
the other missed by Fabrizio Ravanelli or more accurately
saved by Shay Given.
ITV's The Premiership made a big thing about Shay
moving early - although his actions were identical to Fulham's van der Sar against
Newcastle a week earlier, something they conveniently
chose
to ignore.

52,307
The beginning of the end for Big Sam at SJP as his
United side made it four matches without a victory.
The Reds took almost half an hour to break the deadlock
but in that time Newcastle had never looked like scoring.
And when Steven Gerrard's corner bounced in off Kuyt's
shin seconds after the restart it was all over.
After
a 1-4 loss in the previous home game against Pompey,
another embarrassing home defeat brought adverse crowd
reaction.
The much-hyped, self-proclaimed motivational and
organisational strengths of our manager were conspicuous
by their absence.
