Burnley U18s  1  Newcastle U18s  3

Newcastle's youngsters won their third successive game in the U18 Premier League on Saturday, leaving the Clarets' Barnfield training ground with all three points.

Chris Moore's side opened up a two goal advantage just before the half time interval, Kacey Wooster shooting his side ahead in the 41st minute and Matthew Taylor similarly firing home just three minutes later.

Burnley belatedly established a foothold in the game when James Lewis shot home with eight minutes of normal time left, but Newcastle regained their two goal advantage when Alfie Seldon netted in the second minute time added on.

Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Goodbrand, Durrant, Moran, Cogdon (Lucas 75), Pinnington (Ferreira 65), O'Donovan, Wooster (Johnson 83), M.Taylor (Hutchison 65), Seldon.

Late joy for United

Newcastle U21s  3  Burnley U21s  2

Saturday also saw Newcastle and Burnley in action at PL2 level, striker Sean Neave's second goal of the afternoon earning his side their first home win of the campaign.

The fixture was staged at United's Little Benton academy, rather than the usual venue of nearby Whitley Park. The Magpies included goalkeeper Max Thompson and full back Alex Murphy following Champions League bench duty.

There was also an outing for full back Harrison Ashby and a appearance of the season for attacker Ben Parkinson after recovering from injury. 

Following a quiet opening to the contest, Sean Neave's shot from the edge of the area clipped the top of the Clarets' crossbar in the tenth minute.

Neave then put United ahead ten minutes before the break; fouled in the box for a penalty and sending Oisin Cooney the wrong way from 12 yards.

Thompson then preserved that lead either side of half time; getting down well to save a deflected effort from Joe Bevan on 43 minutes and pulling off an even better stop to deny Vernon Masara when he was clean through after 51 minutes.

The Newcastle custodian was powerless to prevent Burnley from levelling on 58 minutes however - a speculative shot from Bevan looking to be going wide before it took a deflection off Cathal Heffernan and found the net.

Burnley then took the lead just five minutes later, when a corner kick from the left wing was nodded down by Hannes Delcroix for Jesse Williams to net from close range.

Back came the black and whites though and good work by midfielder Anthony Munda gave substitute Joe Brayson an opportunity to turn and shoot into the corner of the net with 11 minutes of normal time remaining.

Neave then struck in the second minute of added time; registering his ninth U21 goal this season in all competitions when latching on to a right wing cross from Alfie Harrison and finishing well.

Team: M.Thompson, Ashby (Shahar 45), A.Murphy, Heffernan, Pivas, Bailey, Al.Harrison, Munda, Parkinson (Brayson 46), Neave (McArthur 90+3), Charlton (Park 63).

Internationals:
Rory up and running

Newcastle midfielder Rory Finneran is the club's only representative at the U17 World Cup Finals in Qatar, captaining Ireland as they made a winning start to their Group J fixtures on Wednesday.

Finneran took the corner that led to his side opening the scoring against Panama in Doha, playing the full game as Ireland ran out 4-1 winners.

Next up for the Irish is a meeting with Uzbekistan on Saturday followed by Paraguay on Tuesday.

Internationals:
Three Lions etc.

Friday saw the latest England senior squad announcement, with a trio of Magpies selected by Thomas Tuchel for two World Cup qualifiers next week.

Nick Pope
, Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon are in a 25 man selection for games against Serbia at Wembley on Thursday November 13th and Albania in Tirana three days later.

Gordon is named despite suffering from a hip issue that is expected to rule him out of United's trip to Brentford this coming Sunday.

Moving on to England U21s and both Lewis Hall and Lewis Miley get the nod for European Championship qualifiers against Ireland at Birmingham City on Friday November 14th and Slovakia in Presov the following Tuesday.

They're set to come up against club colleague Alex Murphy at St.Andrews after he was named in the Ireland U21 squad for that game and a trip to Andorra on Tuesday 18th.

Nick Woltemade
keeps his place in the German squad for their final two World Cup qualifiers, and is joined by fellow Magpie Malick Thiaw - the first time that the defender has been called up since October 2023. 

Germany visit Luxembourg on Friday November 14th and then face Slovakia in Leipzig on Monday November 17th.

The Brazil squad for two kickabouts later this month has also been announced, with Bruno Guimaraes included but club colleague Joelinton omitted.

The travelling shouldn't be an issue for the United captain, Brazil starting with the friendly against Senegal staged at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday November 15th before moving on to face Tunisia in Lille three days later.

There's also a selection for Sandro Tonali, with his Italy side playing World Cup qualifiers against Moldova in Chisnau on Thursday November 13th before returning to Milan and welcoming Norway to the San Siro on Sunday 16th.

Incoming Sweden coach Graham Potter has retained Anthony Elanga in his squad for World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland in Geneva on Saturday November 15th and then at home to Slovenia in Stockholm on the 18th.

18 year-old Magpie winger Mo Waddani earns a maiden senior call-up to Libya's senior squad for upcoming training ground kickabouts against Mauritania and Sudan.

England youth team call-ups include full back Leo Shahar in the U19 party for a trio of European Championship qualifiers staged in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas.

The U19s face hosts Lithuania on Wednesday 12th, Latvia on Saturday 15th and Scotland on Tuesday 18th.

Goalkeeper Roman Dowell meanwhile is included in the England U17 squad for a friendly tournament out in Dubai, where the opposition is USA on Thursday 13th, Ivory Coast on Saturday 15th and Australia on Tuesday 18th.

PS: Given that he's yet to kick a ball for the Magpies, the omission of Yoane Wissa from DR Congo's squad for their World Cup qualifying playoff is no surprise.

The Leopards play Cameroon in the Moroccan city of Rabat on Thursday November 13th, with the winners facing either Nigeria or Gabon in the same location three days later.

Magpies on temporary postings:

Joe White (Leyton Orient)
Appearing for the reserve side in midweek as he continues his comeback from injury, the midfielder played no part in Orient's 1-4 loss at Wycombe Wanderers in League One on Saturday.

Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
A 60 minute shift for the defender as Boro won 2-1 at home to Birmingham City in the Championship on Saturday.

Aidan Harris (Coleraine):

It finished honours even at Windsor Park in the Irish Premiership on Saturday night as Coleraine drew 1-1 with Linfield. Goalkeeper Aidan played the full game.

Tyler Jones (Ashington):

A difficult afternoon for the goalkeeper on Saturday, part of the Colliers side beaten 0-5 at Pontefract Colleries in Northern Premier League East.

Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):

The goalkeeper completed the entirety of a 1-0 home win over Real Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday.

Giveaway:
Badge comp answer

Although the special collector's editions of Magpin's new Nick Woltemade badge sold out in minutes, regular ones remain on sale and we had one to give away, complete with two restocked Champions League badge designs:

To be in with a chance of winning the trio, we asked who the most recent German-born player before Woltemade to appear in the Premier League for Newcastle was.

Incorrect answers included Dietmar Hamann, Joselu, Loris Karius and Odysseas Vlachodimos but it was Dusseldorfer Malick Thiaw we were after, preceding big Nick by three weeks when debuting against Liverpool back in August.

The winning entry came from Michael Burn.

U19 Youth League:
Basques prevail

Newcastle U19s  2  Athletic Club U19s  3

 

United's U19 side sustained their fourth successive UEFA Youth League defeat of the season on Wednesday, beaten by in-form Athletic at Gateshead International Stadium.

The visitors went ahead on the half hour when Alex Carril headed in Xantiago Oyharcabal's right wing corner.

Athletic's lead was doubled 12 minutes later after an attempted clearance deflected to Manex Lozano, the visiting forward firing home a first-time effort to maintain his record of netting in every game of the competition so far.

The young Magpies got one back just on half time, after Iker Quintero upended winger Matheos Ferriera in the box and Sean Neave netted the resultant penalty.

Newcastle then equalised thanks to a memorable solo effort from Scott Bailey on 61 minutes, intercepting a clearance from the 'keeper in central midfield before dribbling forward into the box and finding the bottom corner of the net.

Parity proved to be short-lived however and within a minute Athletic regained the lead when substitute Unax Urzaiz set
captain Peio Huestamendia away to beat Roman Dowell.

The Basques were reduced to ten men on 65 minutes when Quintero received a straight red for dissent following a disputed free kick just outside the visitor's area.

Despite that numerical advantage, the black and whites couldn't conjure up a second equaliser - goalkeeper Simon Garcia making a vital late block to deny Neave.

Victory for Athletic extends their 100% start to four games and leaves them second in the 36 team table behind Chelsea on goal difference. In contrast the Magpies are one of five teams without a single point to their name.

Team: Dowell, Shahar, Charlton, Watts, Old (Waddani 90+3, Bailey, Munda, Park, Neave, Ferreira (Seldon 56), Brayson (Wooster 56).  Subs n/u: Mair, Yildiz, Moran, Bloomer, Durrant, M.Taylor,

Booked: Neave, Old.

A third yellow card in this competition for Sean Neave means that he'll sit out United's next tie, away to Marseille.

Update:
Another vacancy appears

The latest off-field departure from Gallowgate is now confirmed as Chief Commercial Officer Peter Silverstone, placed on immediate gardening leave after declaring his intention to take up an unspecified post overseas*.

*reported to be at Serie A club Juventus.

Silverstone arrived at the club in October 2022 having fulfilled a similar role with Arsenal.

Update:
Stuart Boam RIP

We're sad to report that former Newcastle central defender Stuart Boam has died at the age of 77.

Nottinghamshire-born Stuart began his career at Mansfield Town before making 50K move to a Middlesbrough side managed by Stan Anderson during 1971.

Appointed club Captain by Jack Charlton, he played over 500 times for the Ayresome Park club before a transfer to the Magpies in August 1979.

Making the first of 77 league and cup appearances in a 2-1 home win over Chelsea, the first of his two Toon goals came soon after, in a home League Cup tie against the mackems that was infamously settled on penalties.

Stuart's final game was a 0-0 draw at Oldham Athletic in February 1981 and he returned to Mansfield that summer, later having a brief period with Hartlepool United.

He would have a further involvement with United during the Jim Smith era, carrying out some scouting missions.

Carabao Cup:

U21s:
EFL Trophy interest over

A 3-1 victory for Huddersfield Town over Mansfield Town on Tuesday night ended any hopes that Newcastle U21s had of progressing in this season's EFL Trophy with a game left.

United's second string were relying on Mansfield avoiding defeat to have any chance of a top two finish by winning away at Harrogate Town on Tuesday week.

However three points for the Terriers confirmed their own qualification and also that of Harrogate, rendering next week's final fixture meaningless in the process.

Book:
Belfast boy

Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.

The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons, winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.

Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

On This Day in History
9th November


Born Or Died:

1948 George Luke born, Hetton-le-Hole.
(1966-67)

Unlike his Tyneside-born namesake (who played 29 games between 1950 & 1961 and passed away in March 2010), this "other" unrelated George Luke failed to make a first team appearance while at SJP.

Leaving United in 1967 in favour of Chelsea, wing half George made just a single first team appearance during his time at Stamford Bridge (against Leicester City).

The following year saw the England schoolboy international move to South Africa, signing for Durban City.

He would go on to appear for a number of sides in South Africa, including East London, Jewish Guild and Highlands Park, before ending his career in Ireland with the Dublin- based side, St.Patricks Athletic.

He later lived back in North East England.

1952 Mike Larnach born, Lybster, Scotland. (1977-78)  

Alleged striker who had begun his career as a youngster with Campsie Black Watch, briefly appearing for East Stirlingshire before linking up with Clydebank in 1972.

Scoring 29 goals to help bring the Scottish First Division title to Kilbowie Park in 1976 and led to a £100K bid from Newcastle in the closing days of 1977.

Relegation haunted recently-installed Bill McGarry looked over the border to try and cure his side's goalscoring problem, with Larnach arriving at the same time as Mark McGhee came from Greenock Morton.

Mike's debut came in a 0-2 home loss to Liverpool on the last day of 1977 and although he featured (along with debutant McGhee) in a 2-0 win at Elland Road three days later, relegation followed and he would fail to find the net in his 14 appearances.

Larnach was then flogged to Motherwell in a £75K deal as United revamped their squad for a promotion challenge.

Later featuring for both Ayr United and Stenhousemuir, Mike then re-signed for the Bankies in 1983, going on to completing a century of goals that put him second on their all-time scorers list.

He later found employment in the engineering industry at Grangemouth.

1971 Pietro Parente born, Barletta, Italy. (1999)

Yet another United trialist who failed to make the grade and was soon released. This right-sided former Italian U21 international midfielder arrived on Tyneside in October 1999, Sir Bobby Robson saying:

"If Graeme Souness recommends a player then that is good enough for me. We are not wasting anyone's time - we are having a serious look at him."

Parente had played under Souness at Torino before moving on to Genoa, although he was a free agent when he joined us. Previous to that he'd been with fellow Italian sides Prato, Bari, Taranto, Como, Reggiana and Lecce. 

Later moves took Parente on to Ancona, Venezia and Pro Vasto, Cavese, Barletta, Cosenza, Albenga, Manduria, Martini, Pisticci, Maruggio and Rubierese - eventually hanging up his boots in 2014.
 

What Else?

1895 Darwen (a)

Thompson(1-3), Aitken(2-3), Wardrope(3-3), Collins(80)
Carman(20), Maxwell(

2,000 
There was a debut for Glaswegian Malcolm Lennox as United trailed 0-3 at half time - having had two goals of their own ruled out when the game was scoreless. 

However, the Magpies recovered to take a 4-3 lead at a very soggy Barley Bank, before being pegged back once again.

Athletic News reported that no blame could be attached to home goalkeeper Matt Kingsley, "who could not move about in the sea of mud."

Kingsley would move to Newcastle in 1898. 

1901 Manchester City (h)
3-0
(1-0)
Division One
P11, 11pts, 9th/18 
Orr(30), McColl(

There was a debut goal for Bob McColl, the recent arrival from Scottish amateur club Queens Park fouled for a penalty kick that he took and successfully converted.

1907 Bolton Wanderers (h)

Division One
P12, 16pts, 3rd/20 
Aitkenhead(9,

A fortnight after winning 6-0 at Goodison Park, United were beaten away from home for only the second time in six outings.

1929 Sheffield Wednesday (h)

(0-2)
Division One
P14, 10pts, 20th/22 
McDonald(80) 
Rimmer(28), Allen(29,57) 
27,505
Writing in Athletic News, The Mystery International pulled no punches about the home side's lack of quality: 

"It is really tragic to see a Newcastle forward line without a semblance of guile in a collective sense. There were however forwards who could not trap a ball let alone scheme an opponent into a false position".

1935 Bury (a)
4-3
(2-1)
Division Two
P13, 16pts, 7th/22 
J.Smith(1-1,44,4-1), Bott(3-1)
Earl(16), Whitfield(4-2), Bagley(88)
12,098
Magpie forward Jack Smith made it five goals in three games following his return to the senior side.

The Shakers were beaten 3-4 in their next game, having been 3-0 up against Spurs. 

1938 A crowd of 39,887 saw England defeat Norway 4-0 in a full International at SJP. 

The England team included United's Duggie Wright and goalscorers were; Derby County's Ronnie Dix (2), Reg Smith of Millwall (14,37) and Everton's Tommy Lawton (30).

Two non-playing "reserves" were named, one of which was Newcastle's Ray Bowden.

The band played Abide With Me before kickoff in honour of the recently-deceased President of the Football Associstion William Pickford.

1940 York City (h)

1946 Sheffield Wednesday (h) 4-0 (1-0)
Division Two
P14, 19pts, 1st/22 
Wayman(30,42,65,89) 
46,916
Four more goals for Charlie Wayman took his total to 11 in just three home games and put United on top of the Second Division table. 

1948 Newcastle Reserves entertained their Huddersfield counterparts at St. James' Park in the Central League. 

The game ended goalless.

1957 Blackpool (h)
1-2
(1-2)
Division One
P16, 11pts, 20th/22 
og(Gratrix)(12)

Two goals from Tangerines centre forward Jackie Mudie left United without a win in six games.

1963 Cardiff City (h)

(0-2)
Division Two
P17, 13pts, 18th/22 
King(31,36), Allchurch(62), J.Charles(78)
38,495 
There were inauspicious debuts for Stan Anderson, David Craig and Trevor Hockey, but old boy Ivor Allchurch enjoyed a scoring return to SJP. 
 
1966 Newcastle's Reserve side faced their Leeds counterparts in a Wednesday afternoon kick-off at SJP.

Peter Noble netted for the home side in a 1-2 reverse, with the visitors' line-up featuring future Magpie magician, Terry Hibbitt. 

1968 Arsenal (a)
0-0
(0-0)
Division One
P18, 16pts, 12th/22 
34,168
The Gunners chose this game in which to celebrate their Golden Jubilee as a top-flight side, but Newcastle came closest to the victory - Jackie Sinclair beating home goalkeeper Bob Wilson only to be denied by an offside flag. 

1974 Middlesbrough (a)
0-0 
(0-0)
Division One
P16, 18pts, 10th/22 
39,000
The ploy of fielding full back Alan Kennedy in a midfield marking role helped United to gain a deserved draw at Ayresome Park, as his opponent Graeme Souness was kept quiet.

Within days, Kennedy had been selected in Don Revie's England U23 squad.

1977 Richard Dinnis was sacked as Newcastle boss after having ended a winless run of ten games by presiding over a win and two draws!

His replacement? El Diablo - Bill McGarry. 

1985 Birmingham City (a)
1-0
(1-0)
Division One
P16, 26pts, 8th/22 
Reilly(13)
8,162
Denied a seemingly legitimate winner by referee Trelford Mills in our previous game against Watford, George "Rambo" Reilly made no mistake at St. Andrews.

The victory completed a West Midlands treble for Willie McFaul's side that season, following victories at Highfield Road and Villa Park. 

1991 Grimsby Town (h)
2-0
(2-0)
Division Two
P17, 18pts, 21st/24 
Hunt(17), Howey(29) 
16,959 
The thoroughly mediocre Mariners were never any threat to a home win, with veteran Gary Birtles playing in a defensive role.

An injury to Lee Clark saw Alan Thompson make his first senior start, having fully recovered from the career-threatening neck injury suffered in a road accident. 

1996 David Batty was in inspired form as England won 2-0 in Georgia, Les Ferdinand scoring the first goal.

2002 Arsenal (a)
0-1
(0-1)
Premiership
P12, 19pts, 9th/20
Wiltord(24)
38,121
Our downbeat assessment of this one was: No shots on target, no corners won. No points, no chance.

This was something of a hiding at Highbury, the scoreline masking Arsenal's dominance, for whom Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp hardly broke sweat all afternoon. 

Hugo Viana did hit the bar but a draw would have been more than fortunate. Quite how Gunners goalie David Seaman managed to pull his groin remains a mystery.....

O'Brien(41)
Johnson(25), Crespo(39), Lampard(42pen), Duff(78), Gudjohnsen(84)
41,332

Without the injured Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy, Sir Bobby played Shola Ameobi as a lone striker, benched Lomana LuaLua and added Hugo Viana to a five man midfield.

Needless to say the ploy failed and the points were lost before Andy O'Brien was dismissed after fouling Adrian Mutu outside the Newcastle area.

Shay Given then gifted Ireland pal and future SJP colleague Damien Duff a fourth before a fifth goal caused Bobby Robson to observe: "
I'm not sure where my centre halves were. I think they were sat with me in the stands."

Another day, another FA charge for JFK - this one for calling match referee Martin Atkinson "Mickey Mouse".

If anyone looked like a cartoon character at Craven Cottage though, it was Magpies defender Claudio Cacapa: missing a header as the Cottagers went ahead and then being softly pushed over in the run up to Fabricio Coloccini conceding a penalty for the winner.

2011 Almost two years to the day that the farcical "rebranding" of St. James' Park to "sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park" was announced and with related signage only just erected, a further change was confirmed... to The Sports Direct Arena.

Despite making
significant strides in PR terms and the popularity of the club administration rising in tandem with progress on the field, this looked like yet another NUFC own goal.

2014 West Bromwich Albion (a) 2-0 (1-0)

Perez(45), Coloccini(62)

A fifth straight win came with an
exhilarating display at the Hawthorns and a fourth clean sheet in five attempts.

Clad in their green and blue change strip, a skilful flick from
Ayoze Perez gave United a half time lead and a fine header by captain Fabricio Coloccini then sealed the win.

The U23s drew 1-1 in a Premier League Cup tie staged under lights at Southampton's Staplewood Training Ground.

Newcastle recorded back-to-back victories for the first time under Steve Bruce, coming from behind to beat the Cherries.

Future Magpies Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson were both in the visiting side - the former setting up the opener for Harry Wilson.

An acrobatic header from DeAndre Yedlin wiped out that advantage and United won it when Ciaran Clark netted for the second time in as many games.

Carabao Cup Third Round

A record home crowd for a League Cup tie saw Newcastle advance to the Fourth Round thanks to a small piece of club history.

No Magpies side had ever won a penalty shootout in any major competition on home soil - a barren sequence encompassing eight failed attempts stretching back to 1979.

United were victorious thanks to conversions by Chris Wood, Kieran Trippier and Joelinton plus a trio of blocks from Nick Pope.
