Newcastle stumbled to another disappointing goalless draw on
the road as they failed to break down basement side Wolves in a
turgid game in the rain at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.
Despite lengthy periods of possession United failed to break down a
resilient home side that was there to be beaten but Eddie Howe's
side was unable to create the once chance that would surely have won
the game.
Nick Woltemade got his head to a Kieran Trippier free-kick that
flicked the top of the bar in the first half and Sven Botman seemed
a certain scorer from a corner but missed from a yard out and the
ball was cleared.
A second half improvement was expected but never really
materialised, despite Howe making a triple substitution and although
several dangerous crosses were whipped in, there was no-one on the
end of them; Yoane Wissa bemusingly outside of the box.
The home side's ambitions were clearly to play for a point although
they had the odd chance, Hugo Bueno firing narrowly over in first
half added time after Joelinton had a shot saved at the other end.
The big Brazilian also went close near the end of full time, meeting
a near post corner but Malick Thiaw was probably better placed.
The chance of the match came in the final minute of added time when
Bruno Guimaraes teed himself up for a shot but sliced it wide.
The point took United back above the mackems into eighth, although a
two-goal victory would have seen them end the day fifth.

Ex-Mag:
Ben
breaks Hearts
Following two Scottish Premier League outings from the bench for his
new club, ex-Magpie striker Ben Parkinson enjoyed a memorable
Scottish Cup debut on Saturday.
Introduced at half time in the Fourth Round tie at Hearts when it
was 0-0, the 20 year-old scored his first senior career goal from
close range to put the Bairns ahead.
Hearts then levelled to force extra time during which there was no
further scoring, sending the tie to a penalty shootout that Falkirk
won 5-4 after converting all five of theirs - Parky stepping up to
convert the clincher.
The game comes only a month after Ben's last experience in a
shootout, netting as Newcastle lost to AFC Halifax Town in the
National League Cup.

Update:
Heff off
Magpies central defender Cathal Heffernan has joined League
Two Harrogate Town for an undisclosed fee.
The 20 year-old central defender was signed from AC Milan in 2023,
having previously played for hometown club Cork City.
Made U21 captain, Cathal joined United's senior squad ahead of the
2024/25 season, facing SpVgg Unterhaching in Germany and Urawa Red
Diamonds in Japan.
However he wasn't included in this season's first team
preparations, remaining with the U21s, what was to be his final
Magpies appearance coming in a 0-3 Premier League International Cup
defeat to Croatia Zagreb last month.
Heffernan is the third former Magpie in the squad at Wetherby
Road, joining Lewis Cass and Liam Gibson.
He got off to a losing start on Saturday, playing the full game as
Harrogate lost 0-1 at Shrewsbury Town.
Update:
Training ground claimTuesday's Mail newspaper carried an exclusive that
the Magpies are set to formally announce the location of
their eagerly-awaited training ground as Woolsington.
The site near Newcastle Airport will reportedly be developed
at an estimated cost of £200m, with work set to begin this
year and a two year timescale for completion.
Woolsington Hall and surrounding grounds were first
earmarked for club use over 30 years ago, then-Magpies
Chairman Sir John Hall purchasing it for a proposed Academy.
It's unclear who currently owns the proposed site, which was
at one point earmarked for housing development.

Update:
Botman's birthday gift
From NUFC, Monday:
Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has
signed a new long-term contract with the club.
The 26-year-old, who moved to St. James’ Park from French side
Lille in 2022, has extended his stay with the Magpies until summer
2030.
Sven has featured 17 times in all competitions so far this
season, with Saturday’s FA Cup victory over Bournemouth taking his
tally to 93 appearances for the club.
Sven said: “I’m really happy to sign this contract. This club
has given me so much in the last three-and-a-half years.
“I’ve grown as a person and as a player here and I feel like I
have so much more to give in the long term. That’s why both parties
are really happy with this decision and I’m looking forward to
what’s coming in the future here.”
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe added: “We’re delighted
that Sven has committed his long-term future to the club. He has
been an outstanding player for us since he joined and I firmly
believe there’s more to come from him.
“Sven has a strong mentality and work ethic, which is clear
every time he trains or plays. We value his presence on and off the
pitch and l’m really pleased to see his long-term future secured
here.”
Newcastle United Sporting Director Ross Wilson said: “Sven is
not only an important player on the pitch, but also a top
professional and a hugely respected member of our squad.
“With Sven’s previous contract due to expire at the end of
next season, it’s fantastic that we’ve secured his future here. I
know Eddie and the players are equally thrilled.
“Sven feels settled in Newcastle, both in the city and within
our squad, and we’re all excited to continue with him in our ranks.”

Champions League:
PSV Eindhoven
(h)
Wednesday sees Newcastle in Champions League action, with the
penultimate one of their eight
first phase ties bringing last season's Dutch league winners to
Tyneside.
It's an 8pm kick-off.
The Magpies have 10 points from their opening six games, placing
them 12th in the 36 team league. The top eight qualify and the next
16 advance to a two-legged playoff -teams finishing ninth to 16th
seeded in that playoff and enjoying home advantage in the second
leg.
With two games left, five top eight finishers are confirmed.
Hat sellers Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House pub from 5pm. Card payments accepted.

PSV:
To follow.
Ahead of their visit to Gallowgate, PSV visit Fortuna Sittard in the
Eredivisie on Saturday. Peter Bosz's side sit 13 points clear at the
top of the table and have won 16 of their 18 league games, drawing
one and losing the other.
Six Champions League fixtures have brought them eight points,
leaving them 21st in the table.
At home they lost 1-3 to Union SG, thumped Napoli 6-2 and went down
by the odd goal in five to Atletico Madrid. On the road, they drew
1-1 at Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiakos and memorably beat Liverpool
4-1 at Anfield.
Since a 2-3 loss at Go Ahead Eagles last March, PSV have remained
unbeaten away from home in all competitions - a run that currently
stands at 18 matches.

18th January |

Born Or Died:
1954 Jeff Clarke born, Hemsworth, Pontefract.
(1982-87 player, 1988-96 coach)
 Central defender who
joined the Magpies on a free transfer from
the mackems, having begun his playing
career at Manchester City.
Making his debut alongside fellow new boy
Kevin Keegan (and the returning John
Craggs) in a memorable home win over QPR,
Jeff's first United goal came the
following month in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea
at SJP.
Sustaining a serious leg injury at
Barnsley a year later caused Jeff to be
missing from the promotion-winning side
until the following February, when he made
a brief comeback.
Missing from the United side who began
life back in the top flight under Jack
Charlton, Jeff was loaned to Brighton and
Hove Albion and played four games back in
Division Two.
By October 1984 though he was back on
Tyneside and in the first team, becoming a
regular starter again that season and
keeping his place in the 1985/86 campaign.
Featuring less often in the 1986/87
season, Jeff made his final Magpies
apperance in a 3-1
defeat at Wimbledon in February
1987.
After brief spells in Turkey with
Ankargucu and locally with Darlington and
Whitley Bay,
Jeff returned to SJP in 1988, initially
working as the club's Community Officer.
He subsequently joined the United backroom
staff and became reserve team
manager, later joining a PFA scheme to
study for physiotherapy qualifications.
Leaving United in 1996 to take on a physio
role at the mackems and then subsequently with Leeds United,
he moved on to Dundee United in 2003 - latterly working with
the Arabs' youth sides.
1961
Peter Beardsley MBE born, Longbenton (1983-87
& 1993-97)
Spotted playing local youth football, "Pedro" had
unsuccessful trials at Gillingham, Cambridge
United, Burnley and Newcastle.
However, former Magpies captain Bob Moncur
talked the 18 year-old into playing for his
Carlisle reserve side at Newcastle Blue
Star.
Beardsley scored and quickly agreed terms
with the Brunton Park club, where he
continued to earn rave reviews.
A move to Vancouver Whitecaps in the North
American Soccer League came in 1981, with a
return two years later to join Arthur
Cox’s Magpies after a brief one-game
flirtation with Manchester United.
Promotion was duly achieved but Cox's
replacement by Jack Charlton saw things
gradually start to unravel for Beardsley.
The departure of Chris Waddle to Spurs came
at the end of a season in which Charlton had
shown his true colours by signing burly
forwards Tony Cunningham & George
Reilly.
Partial respite came with the appointment of
Willie McFaul, but despite the emergence of
young talent such as Paul Gascoigne, Ian
Bogie and Paul Stephenson the club continued
to muddle along in mid-table.
That perceived lack of ambition saw
Beardsley depart in July 1987, Liverpool
paying a record £1.9m for him and United
only then investing in a squad overhaul.
Unexpectedly sold to Everton in 1991, two seasons at Goodison Park followed
before Kevin Keegan brought him back to SJP.
Forming the supply line for the prolific Andy Cole when he wasn’t scoring
sensational goals himself, he was a prime mover in establishing United back in
the top-flight.
Although many of his goals are recorded for posterity, for those who
saw him play, certain memories are embedded: his chip over Joe Corrigan in May
1984 or a hat-trick against the mackems in Jan 1985.
Or from his second spell; astounding strikes at Spurs, Palace and Forest and a
solo scampering effort at the Leazes End against Villa - all equally magical.
A testimonial game at St. James’ Park in 1999 saw his boyhood favourites
Celtic come to town, two years after leaving United to wind down his twenty year career at
Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City, Fulham, Hartlepool United and
Doncaster Rovers.
And internationally Beardsley amassed a total of 59 England caps, netting nine
times.
Maintaining an association with United since his retirement, Beardsley was at
various involved in off-field PR and coaching at youth team
level.
However, that included an allegation of bullying Academy players in 2003 that
was investigated by a Premier League inquiry before he and Kenny Wharton were
cleared.
2010 found him managing United's reserves, with a fleeting spell as caretaker
boss after the departure of Chris Hughton and before the installation of Alan
Pardew - however he didn't take charge of the team for a game.
He made way for Willie Donachie as second string manager in 2011 before being
given the role of Football Development Manager.
Retaining the role of U21 coach at the club, Beardsley briefly assisted interim
boss John Carver in early 2015 following the departure of Alan Pardew, leaving
in 2018.
1981
Death of Duggie Livingstone, 82.
Former manager. (1954-56)
1992
Samuel Adjei born,
Eksjö, Sweden.
(2009-12)
Fleet-footed winger signed
from Jönköpings
Södra IF in
January 2009, who made his Magpies bow for
the U18 side in a 0-3 home loss to Leeds
United two months later.
Samuel was handed a reserve debut days later
against Hull City at North Ferriby and a
first taste of senior team football came in our
pre-season friendly at Huddersfield Town the
following July.
The 2009/10 season saw Adjei a regular U18 starter netting at SJP in an
FA Youth Cup win over Crystal Palace.
The former Swedish youth international also
played six reserve games.
However, injury meant that Samuel missed the
opening weeks of the 2010/11 season,
returning for the U18s in late September.
Season 2011/12 saw Adjei return to reserve
action but after just four
appearances and a brief loan spell at
Hartlepool (just one game before a hamstring
injury) he was released by the club in
Summer 2012.
Adjei then returned to
Sweden and former club Jönköpings Södra IF
in January 2013.
After making just two appearances though
due to further fitness problems, Samuel left
in November 2014 and we're unsure of his
current whereabouts.
Confusingly, another Samuel Adjei (born
11.03.1993 in the USA) played at the same
time for New York Red Bulls, Golden Stars
(Ghana), Sheffield Wednesday (trial), Derby
County (trial), Lille (France, trial), FC
Sydvest (Denmark), Naestved (Denmark) and Hawkes Bay (New Zealand).
This other Adjei later returned to the USA
and coached at Bloomfield College in
addition to opening his own Soccer Virtuoso
business.
1997 Dan Barlaser
born,
Gateshead.
(2012-20)
Midfielder who began his playing career with
local club Swalwell Juniors, joining United following a spell with
Darlington.
Making his U18 bow in a 0-4 home
loss to Spurs in August
2012, Dan's first goal came in the next home game against Stoke
City.
Called up by Turkey U16s (where his father was born) he helped them to Montaigu
Cup success in France during 2013 and
featured in United's Milk
Cup campaign.
His first U21 club appearance came as
a substitute in a 1-4 defeat
at Spurs during January 2014 with a maiden
goal at home to Brighton the
following October.
Switching allegiance to England, June 2015
saw Dan feature in two U18 friendlies
against Russia, alongside fellow Magpies
Adam Armstrong and Freddie Woodman.
And he received a special birthday present in 2017, debuting for the
first team and playing the full 90
minutes of a 3-1 FA Cup victory over
Birmingham City at SJP.
Dan featured in the FA Cup embarrassment at
Oxford United and League Cup loss to Nottingham Forest
early the following season before signing a new two year deal.
Loaned out to League Two Crewe Alexandra on
a half-season deal in January 2018, he
managed just one senior start for them.
Loaned to Accrington Stanley the following season,
2019/20 found Barlaser sent out to Rotherham United - playing his part as
the Millers gained promotion from League
One.
Newcastle then exercised an option to extend
Dan's contract for a further year and he
featuring in pre-season before adding two
further League Cup appearances.
Failing to land a place in the 25 man squad
however, he completed a permanent move to
Rotherham that October for an undisclosed
fee and claimed 50% sell-on clause.
He made 152 appearances for
the Millers scoring 16 times before moving to
Boro for an undisclosed fee during January 2023.
After 56 appearances and one goal he left
the smoggies and signed for Hibernian in
September 2025.

For United's
third, Arsenal 'keeper William Gilmer fisted the ball
and it rolled along the crossbar until it dropped at the
feet of William McKay who put it in while Willie
Wardrope "charged down" the stopper.
Gilmer was a true "Gunner", having joined Arsenal the
previous month from the Royal Ordnance factory but would
only appear three times for them.
1902 Everton (h)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
P20, 20pts, 12th/18
Roberts(90)
Young(55)

Reports suggest that a significant number of
Sunderland fans were present to cheer on the home side,
given that Everton were second in the table and the
Wearsiders occupied pole position.
The Toffees looked set to record their first-ever
victory on Tyneside, only for Richard Roberts to force a
Colin Veitch shot into the net in the closing seconds of
play.

18 year-old Jackie Cape
made his debut at outside right after signing from
Carlisle United, "but had little chance to shine"
according to one match report.
The Magpies also completed the transfer of Joe Devine
from Burnley, but formalities weren't completed in time
for him to be introduced at Filbert Street.
Arthur Chandler helped himself to a hat-trick and missed
an open goal in the final minute of the game.
1936 Manchester United

4-0 (3-0)
Division Two
P27, 29pts, 6th/22
Anderson(7,61), Thomas(20,23)

The Mariners were en route to Division Three and got away
lightly by conceding just four times to a Newcastle side for whom
Stan Anderson, Barrie Thomas, Ron McGarry, Alan Suddick and Dave
Hilley all posed a threat.

32,021
Having lost 2-5 at home to Spurs a week earlier,
goalkeeper Iam McFaul had to pick the ball out of his net
on another five occasions at Maine Road.
A scintillating second half display from City included
Denis Tueart's first treble for the club but Newcastle
boss Joe Harvey was incensed by the home side's roughhouse
tactics that went unchecked by referee Ron Challis -
culminating in Rodney Marsh punching Micky Burns without
sanction.

FA Cup 3rd Round Replay
Waddle(13), Saunders(43), Brownlie(94), Varadi(114)
Cook(45), Allison(67pen,116pen)
7,505
An absolute battle at
Layer Road, with spectacular goals from Waddle,
Saunders and Brownlie and United 'keeper Kevin Carr conceding two
penalties.
Many away fans attempted to
keep track of the tie via a local radio
commentator who gave the impression of never having seen a
football before, never mind a microphone.
Both Saunders
and Brownlie had failed to score a competitive goal for United before; in the latter's' case after nearly 100 games.

A Monday evening jaunt to Palmerston Park gave the
Magpies some match practice ahead of the visit of
Spurs to SJP the following weekend.
Willie McFaul's side hadn't been in action over the
previous weekend due to being the "odd team out"
in the 21 team First Division.

Even by our lowly standards this was a kick in the
plums, as Newcastle somehow contrived to turn a 3-0 lead
into a defeat - Liam O'Brien diverting a shot from a
certain Alan Pardew into the Gallowgate End net to hand
the Addicks all three points.
This proved to be the last home league game in charge for
Ossie Ardiles.

To beat the would-be Champions on their own patch after the trauma
of selling Andy Cole to Man United was a seminal moment for Kevin Keegan.
The away fans celebrated in the Darwen End long after the final
whistle, calling for KK who was being interviewed by Sky in the
tunnel.
For some unknown reason though he failed to reappear - strange,
given that he'd had to stand on the steps at SJP defending his
actions to angry fans a few days earlier.

P23, 39pts, 4th/20
Ferdinand(14), Clark(82)
Maddison(88), Le Tissier(89)
Peter Beardsley led out the team on his 36th birthday, but going two up with
only eight minutes remaining simply inspired the Saints, and Maddison
pulled one back straight away.
A last minute equaliser from Le Tissier spoiled Kenny Dalglish’s first Premier League game in charge and continued to
taunt us all by being included in the BBC “Match of the Day”
opening titles the following year.
 2003

Alan Shearer had barely put down his Goal of the Month
award for December 2002 - the Everton howitzer - before he was
at it again.
City 'keeper Carlo Nash made a hash
of his clearance and hit Al, who tucked
the ball into the empty Leazes net after just 10.25 seconds - a
fraction outside the PL record.

2005
A deeply disappointing FA Youth Cup defeat for United came at Watford's Vicarage Road
in the Fourth Round. Andrew Chapman's 27th minute shot won it for the
Hornets.
2006 The young Magpies won their FA Youth
Cup Fourth Round tie at Hillsborough against Sheffield
Wednesday thanks to a fine solo effort from Aussie
youngster James Troisi.
Ahead after five minutes through Andy Carroll, the Owls
levelled after half time before Troisi marked his comeback
from injury by beating four defenders and netting to make it 2-1.

United extended their unbeaten league run to 12 after twice coming from behind against their promotion rivals,
although Chris Hughton's side played out their fourth Championship
draw in five outings.
Sloppy defending twice allowed the Baggies to
go ahead, Danny Guthrie's fine free-kick getting the hosts
back on level terms in between.
Peter Lovenkrands featured despite the loss of his father and the Dane
headed home a second equaliser after the break.

again found the London air to their liking, ending a run

Yohan Cabaye took centre stage, scoring twice and engineering our
victory with a masterly display in what proved to be his last game before
engineering a move to PSG.

United ended a five year wait for an FA Cup
win, a much-changed line-up seeing off Gianfranco Zola's
Blues at the second attempt.
Two ahead at the interval thanks to Matt Ritchie's penalty and Yoan
Gouffran's effort, an apparently routine success became a shade more
doubtful following a City goal from a rare forward move.
However, Jonjo Shelvey rounded off a classy display to provide
Ritchie with an unmissable opportunity to seal the tie and set up a Fourth
Round visit to
League One Oxford United.

A win and a clean sheet lessened fears that Newcastle

Three points were secured when Isaac Hayden met Allan Saint-Maximin's

Justin Kluivert eclipsed any of his father Patrick's games at St. James' Park

goal at the end of second half added time.
