Premier League:
Where there's a Will, there's a
way....
Newcastle 2
Fulham
1
For once this season, the late goal in a game involving Newcastle
went the way of the Magpies on Saturday.
With the score 1-1 and added time fast approaching, livewire
substitute Will Osula's shot was blocked by visiting 'keeper Bernd
Leno - only for the lurking Bruno Guimaraes to fire home the loose
ball into the Gallowgate End net.
That was enough for Eddie Howe's side to claim their second win of
the week and register back-to-back Premier League home successes for
the first time this season.
That dramatic finale looked unlikely after the black and whites
began in similar fashion to the way they'd ended against Benfica on
Tuesday, Nick Woltemade and Jacob Murphy both hitting the goal frame
within six minutes.
Murphy then put his ahead with a confident run and finish in the
18th minute, just as the green-clad visitors had begun to unsettle a
home side with one change from midweek - Joelinton returning for
Jacob Ramsey.
Murphy then found himself with an identical opportunity to grab his
and Newcastle's second goal of the game six minutes before the
interval, only for Leno to deny him.
Creating comparatively little but capitalising on what opportunities
came their way, the second half saw little improvement for United as
Marco Silva's side began to dominate midfield areas.
Their not-unexpected equaliser arrived on 56 minutes, as Raul
Jimenez blasted his shot off the underside of Nick Pope's crossbar
and Sasa Lukic headed the rebound in - Sven Botman coming off worse
in a clash of heads and departing with what looked like concussion.
Bruno missed a glaring opportunity to restore United's lead when
heading wide of the target just seven minutes later, but the
introduction of Sandro Tonali, Anthony Elanga, Harvey Barnes and
most notably Will Osula proved just enough to tip the balance in
United's favour.
And while United's number 39 took the plaudits for his match-winning
strike, the contribution of Osula during his cameo appearance from
the bench was incalculable - his pace visibly unsettling the Fulham
defence and inspiring those around him to greater efforts.
The three points took United into the top half of the table but
Liverpool's poetic demise to a smaller club in the evening kick-off
saw Brentford go tenth.
Full match report to follow.

Eddie Howe said:
"I didn't think the performance was bad and I'm delighted how
we found a way to win. The strongest part of our game was the last
20 minutes; we hadn't started the second half well.
"We needed to inject a different energy onto the pitch (via the
substitutes). After that, we were the dominant team and you're just
hoping you take one of those chances.
"Late goals don't just affect the game you've won, it affects mood
and belief going forward. It can have a big knock-on effect. We've
had heartbreak the other way: this felt like a massive moment for
us."
On Will Osula:
"I'm
really pleased with Will because he's not 100% fit, he's nursing an
ankle problem, so we've got to try and manage him correctly.
"But I think you've seen
everyone that's watched us, a big development in his game, big
change in his confidence levels because of that. He's coming on the
pitch and influencing matches and he's got great attributes today.
"He did really, really well, I thought, to choose the right time to
shoot and Leno's made a good save, but our captain's there to
finish off the move, so it's a massive goal for us.
"I just think there's been big growth in his game. He's worked
tirelessly with Graeme Jones, who's done a lot of individual work
with him, as have all of our coaches, but Graeme in particular.
"I think the key thing for any
player is when you come on the pitch, regardless of what minutes you
get, you impress. I think Will has done that gradually, so surely
I've entrusted him with more minutes.
"Now, the ankle injury that he's
got is slightly curtailing that, because I don't want to make that
problem worse. I want him to feel really good when he comes on the
pitch. So we're sort of managing that.
"Fundamentally, it's his
attitude. He wants to be here, he wants to play, and he's very
committed.”
Referee: Peter Bankes* - a third Newcastle game of the season
for the Lancashire whistler, following on from the scoreless draw at
Leeds United and the 2-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest.
* Tony Harrington was originally rostered for this game, before
Bankes was promoted from VAR duties.

A shot from Alex O'Donovan in the fourth minute of time added on
got Newcastles U18s back to winning ways at Little Benton on

The young Magpies led at the interval through Jude Cogdon and had
looked set for the three points until Spencer Sutton's leveller in

U18s:
Perfect nine
Leeds United U17s 0 Newcastle U17s 2
Wednesday saw Newcastle U17s complete their group stage fixtures
in this season's Premier League Cup, victory at Thorp Arch giving
them three wins from as many games.
Mason Miley shot his side ahead with a first-time effort from inside
the centre circle. Substitute Alfie Seldon then set up Alfie
Hutchison for the clinching second goal; an excellent defensive
performance resulting in a clean sheet.
Team: Dowell, Patterson, Moran, Old, Durrant, Goodbrand,
M.Miley, Gilligan, Pinnington, Hutchison, Ferreira.
Earlier in the group stage, the youngsters won 2-1 at Boro, thanks
to late goals from Hutchison and Seldon.
A 5-3 home conquest of the mackems followed, Seldon's brace adding
to Jake Durrant's opener and two from Jack Patterson.
This is the second successive season that Newcastle have reached the
last eight of this competition, exiting at the hands of Manchester
United in 2024.
Also through to the quarter finals are Blackburn Rovers, Leicester
City, Liverpool, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion, with the
other two group winners known when the final fixtures take place
next week.

Update:
Sandro signs on
Wednesday brought media reports that the Sandro Tonali
contract extension said to have been a priority for new Sporting
Director Ross Wilson was in fact done and dusted while one of his
predecessors was still in post.
The 25 year-old Italian midfielder signed a five year deal following
his capture from AC Milan in 2023 and is now revealed to have put
pen to paper on an extension while serving his suspension for
breaking betting regulations.
Tonali is now said to be under contract at SJP until 2029, with a
further 12 month extension exercisable at the club's discretion -
negotiations for both completed before Dan Ashworth left the Magpies
in early 2024.
Carabao Cup :
Spurs (h) tickets
FAO ST holders on the Carabao Cup scheme wondering why they haven't
received an email with a ticket download for Wednesday's home
tie against Spurs - and cannot download their ticket when accessing
the club website.
Buried in the payment reminder emails sent out by the club in early
October but not received by everyone was the following line:
"Tickets for this fixture will be uploaded onto your season
pass."
In other words, no action is necessary and access against Spurs
next week will be obtained by scanning season tickets as if it were
a Premier League home game.
This is a change to the ticketing system,
differing from the previous home cup ties versus Barcelona,
Bradford City and Benfica and the upcoming one against Bilbao, when
individual tickets were issued.
Carabao Cup scheme members whose initial payment failed or who
were relocated from their usual seat for the Spurs game should have
received an individual ticket.
All ticket queries: [email protected]
PS: The latest Fan Advisory Board minutes include the following
line, suggesting that this change is permanent:
"For future domestic cup fixtures, tickets will be uploaded
directly to season cards."

United's youngsters remain pointless after three games in this
season's U19 Youth League, outwitted by their Portuguese
counterparts at Whitley Park on Tuesday.
The visitors were first to show with a few rangefinder shots that
flew over George Mair's goal, before Kacey Wooster tested Benfica
custodian Diogo Ferreira on 19 minutes.
That began a period of United pressure; Leo Shahar firing across the
face of goal moments later and Wooster trying his luck again but
seeing a 25th minute effort blocked.
The opener went the way of Benfica 10 minutes before the interval,
Eduardo Fernandes turning in the box before wrong-footing Mair with
a low shot.
What proved to be a pivotal passage of play saw United attack from
the first whistle after the break, Neave just failing to force his
shot under Ferreira within 10 seconds.
A debatable penalty gave Benfica the chance to double their lead on
53 minutes after Jose Neto threw himself to the floor after contact
from Shahar - only for Mair to guess correctly and deny Goncalo
Moreira from 12 yards.
Reality swiftly intervened though within four minutes, as a
Fernandes shot from distance was beaten out by Mair but snapped up
by Franciso Silva for an easy finish.
Only a vital block by Logan Watts then prevented a third Portuguese
goal just after the hour but a frantic period of play in the 67th
minute ended with the United defender helping a Fernandes shot into
his own net.
Strong running from United's main attacking threat Neave created a
shooting opportunity on 75 minutes, but he was foiled again before a
mazy run across the box from the impressive Moreira ended with him
firing in via a post.
The black and whites did grab a consolation goal when substitute Joe
Brayson finished well two minutes from the end of normal time, only
for Fernandes to round off his hat-trick from close range during
time added on.
Team: Mair, Shahar, Charlton, Johnson, Watts, Munda, Bailey (Finneran
61), Alabi (Waddani 71), Neave (Yildiz 86), Park (Seldon 61),
Wooster (Brayson 61).

Although fixtures up to the end of January were due that day,
only those up to Mon 22.12.2025 actually appeared.
There's no word on when
the remainder will be released, leaving seven Newcastle games still
subject to change:

days are December 24th and 25th.
On that basis, some PL fixtures are liable to be played on both

Internationals:
Wissa complication
Following the final round of World Cup qualifiers involving
African nations, the four sides contesting the play-off
tournament are now confirmed - including DR
Congo.
Assuming he's fit by then, Newcastle's Yoane Wissa would be in
contention for selection when The Leopards travel to Morocco during
the November international break.
Semi-finals are set for November 13th when DR Congo play Cameroon,
with the winners of that facing either Gabon or Nigeria three days
later.
The winners of that qualify for a further inter-confederation
qualification tournament involving six teams in USA/Mexico, staged during
next March's international break.
NB: this is all over and above DR Congo's participation in the
African Cup of Nations Final tournament, staged between December
21st and January 18th in Morocco.
Theoretically, players can be called up 14 days in advance, but it's
anticipated this will be delayed until after Premier League fixtures
on and around December 13th.
Whether that could be stretched further to include Carabao Cup
ties the following midweek remains to seen.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs
(h)
United's third home game in a third
different competition during a nine day period sees them receive Spurs
in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
It's an 8pm kick-off, live on ITV1 and Sky Sports and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, the tie will be
settled by a penalty shootout.
The winners will take their place in the quarter final draw, which
will be staged after the full time whistle.
While Newcastle enjoy home comforts for the third successive
game, the visitors complete a trio of away fixtures:
drawing 0-0 in Monaco in the Champions League on Thursday and
visiting Everton in the Premier League on Sundsay before heading to
the North East.
Spurs will be backed by 4,900 fans - the same allocation that
Bradford City received in the last round. On that basis expect
temporary post-match closures of the walking route from the Leazes
End onto Barrack Road for home fans, as was the case against the
Bantams.

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.
2025/26 CL away tickets are 50 or less.

On This Day in History |
|
25th October |
|
Born Or Died:
1940 Walter Grant Malcolm
born, Musselburgh, Scotland. (1957-60)
Outside right signed from Dalkeith Thistle for £800
on his seventeenth birthday in October 1957, disappointing Hearts, Leicester City, Wolves
and the mackems who had all scouted him.
Grant appeared at schoolboy level for
his country when at Musselburgh Grammar School,
featuring for Scotland against England at Wembley in 1956.
Invited for a trial by Newcastle, he was sidelined after picking up an injury
during a youth game against the wearsiders that September.
A second trial the following February then saw Malcolm earn praise from Jackie
Milburn for his display in the N's Academy side against Barnsley.
Appearing on both flanks for the reserves, he had his sole senior outing for the club in a
2-1 home win over Nottingham Forest in October 1959.
Within 15 minutes of his debut however, Malcolm sustained an injury to his right ankle and although he
played on, was unable to show SJP fans his full
potential.
Never given a further opportunity, May 1960 found Grant transfer-listed and he
made a return to Scotland with Raith Rovers that July, despite offers from both
Doncaster Rovers and Halifax Town.
1962 then found him at Airdrieonians.
Malcolm's death was reported during October 2014, in
his hometown of Musselburgh.
1944 Graham Carr born,
Corbridge
(1961-62)
The son of former Newcastle reserve
Wilf Carr, Graham was playing centre half for South Northumberland Boys
when he caught the eye of United scout Temple Lisle.
Joining the Magpies as a schoolboy, Graham played
alongside the likes of David Craig, Bob Moncur and
Alan Suddick but failed to win a professional contract
and left SJP in 1962.
Turning out for Wallsend-based Corinthian Juniors,
Carr accepted a contract from
Northampton Town and won England Youth honours while at the County
Ground.
Breaking into the first team during the closing weeks
of the 1964/65 season, both United and the Cobblers
won promotion and Carr featured when the two sides met
at SJP early in the following campaign.
Joining York City in 1968, Carr later went to Bradford
Park Avenue before moving on to Altrincham and Telford
United.
An FA Trophy winner with Telford in 1971, Carr played
for Poole Town before joining Dartford - finishing on
the losing side for them in the 1974 Trophy Final.
After a stint with Tonbridge, a move to Weymouth
following in 1976, during which his son, TV presenter
Alan Carr was born.
Appointed caretaker boss in early 1977, Graham's
managerial career then took him on to Dartford and Nuneaton
Borough.
Returning to Northampton in 1985, Carr steered them to
the Fourth Division title in 1987 before exiting again
in 1990.
A fleeting spell in charge of Blackpool was followed
by spells with Maidstone United,
Kettering Town, Weymouth and finally Dagenham & Redbridge
until 1996.
Scouting for Gordon Strachan's Coventry City, Graham later worked for Spurs and
Manchester City - serving both Kevin Keegan
and Sven Goran Eriksson at the latter.
Reunited with Eriksson at Notts County in 2009, Carr
had left his post by early 2010 when Newcastle boss
Chris Hughton (who had worked with him at Spurs)
sounded him out over a scouting role at Gallowgate.
Carr's scouting success saw him awarded an eight year
contract in June 2012, after the likes of Hatem Ben
Arfa, Cheick Tiote, Yohan Cabaye, Papiss Cisse and
Sylvain Marveaux were signed on the strength of his
reports.
Less thrillingly, he also oversaw the loan transfer of
goal-shy striker Luuk De Jong in the January 2014
transfer window.
His contract was terminated in June 2017 by mutual
consent after clearly not being part of Rafa
Benitez's plans and he returned to Northampton Town
as an associate director.

named after him at Northampton Town
1950 Mick Mahoney
born, Bristol.
(1975-78)
The "super goalie" began his career with Bristol City
before switching to Torquay from where he was signed up by Newcastle
as a successor to Iam McFaul in the green jersey.
Making his debut in 1-0 home defeat to Everton in
April 1975, Mick was between the posts for United's
League Cup Final defeat by Manchester City in February
1976.
The relegation season of 1977/78 saw him share
goalkeeping duties with Kevin Carr and Steve Hardwick,
with his final outing coming in the early weeks of the
following season.
Declared surplus to requirements by manager Bill
McGarry (who preferred Hardwick), Mick then emigrated to the USA where he
joined the Chicago Sting in a £40K deal - United
making a £15K profit.
Moving to California Surf in 1979, he played in both
outdoor and indoor leagues - with the same side as
fellow former Magpie Graham Oates for a time.
Moving on to the Los Angeles Lazers in 1982, he
retired as a player four years later and then coached at
the Lazers.
Mick later joined the staff at San Bernadino and
worked as a truck driver, returning to settle in
South West England after his daughter attended
Bristol University there and became a doctor.
Managing Pied Horse FC in the Bristol Regional
League in 2002,
2018 saw him recruited by non league side Bristol
Manor Farm to work with their goalkeepers.
1958 Leo Houtsonen born, Pieksämäki, Finland
(1980)
Defensive midfielder who began his career with Finnish side Kuopion
Palloseura in 1975, twice leaving for Oulon Palloseura (in 1978 and 1982) only
to return in 1981 and 1984.
1980 found him at Norwich City for a brief trial period, before linking up
with Newcastle during their pre-season tour of Sweden.
Days after his United trial ended, Houtsonen (along with former Magpie
Keith Armstrong) was in the OPS side who held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in the
home leg of European Cup tie. They lost 1-10 at Anfield....
Internationally, he represented Finland between 1978 and 1986 and
after ending his playing days, enjoyed a successful career as a venture
capitalist.
Leo's death was reported in 2019.
1974 Paulo Baier born, Ijui, Brazil.
(2000)
Midfielder who was granted a trial at United from Vasco de Gama in 2000 during Sir Bobby Robson's reign.
Failing to make an impression on Tyneside, Baier returned to Brazil
and later appeared for a host of clubs there including São Luiz, Criciúma, Botafogo, Atlético, América, Goiás,
Pelotas, Palmeiras, Recife and Paranaense.
Playing on until the age of 41, a career in management then began at
clubs including Toledo, Prospera and Botafogo.

Three goals ahead at Deepdale, Newcastle lost the
services of Billy Hampson to injury and instantly conceded

An unfit Hampson then returned and was at fault as North
End netted a second, but United held out for a fourth
successive league win.

An off-colour Newcastle side went in level at half
when William Cowan back-heeled in Willie Gibson's
goalbound shot.
However a second goal of the afternoon for Welsh
international forward Len Davies was enough to give
Cardiff both points.

An awful run of form by the Magpies saw them lose for
the fourth successive time - defeat at Bramall Lane
meaning that they had conceded 15 goals in that run.
Writing in the Sunday Sun, ex-Magpie Colin Veitch
was unimpressed by either United:
"Altogether it was a game of workmen; real
craftsmanship and dexterity with the tools of the trade
were generally conspicuous by their absence."

the previous Saturday, Len White grabbed another brace to
make it 14 goals in as many league games.
Magpies old boy George
Hannah scored his first goal for the visitors on his

forward had made the switch to Maine Road just weeks
earlier.

Newcastle dropped ten of the team who had beaten
Brighton at SJP the previous weekend - only Dick Keith

Brown(10pen,27)

A small midweek crowd at The Hawthorns
saw Albion take an early
lead when Bobby Gould won a penalty despite having fouled
Magpies 'keeper Willie McFaul.
Tony Brown's second extended the lead before Terry Hibbitt reduced the arrears from distance.
A 3-1 home success in the second leg meant that United
advanced.

and allowing Alan Gowling to tap in.

A traumatic first team debut for defender Bruce Halliday,
while Chris Withe and Chris Waddle were playing only their
second games, after midweek debuts in a home won against
Shrewsbury Town.
The whole sorry spectacle was captured on BBC Match of
the Day, while attention was drawn to the
astronomical cost of the top category of seating in the
East Stand - a whole £9. Remembered here.

Hodge(12,24)

Defender Peter Jackson debuted, 48 hours
after completing a £250K transfer from Bradford City.
Jacko had an eventful first outing alongside Glenn Roeder, needing three stitches in a head wound
after a first half clash with Villa striker Garry
Thompson.
Midfielder Steve Hodge scored both goals but within days
had moved from Villa to Spurs and faced us in both league
and FA Cup games the following February.

beat Pavel Srnicek with the aid of a deflection, while Des
Hamilton twice denied the visitors with goal line
clearances.
Future Magpies Damien Duff and Kevin Gallacher appeared
for Roy Hodgson's Rovers.

A Monday night TV game and a comfortable win
for United, after Silvio Maric touched on Nolberto
Solano's cross and Stefano Eranio helpfully knocked it
home.
The Peruvian then centred again and with the Croatian
well-placed to shoot, Alan Shearer's well-timed run saw
him arrive to fire home.
However, the injury woes of Bobby Robson's side showed no
sign of ending, as he was able to field Marcelino, Sandro
Pistone and Duncan Ferguson but lost both Warren Barton
and Kieron Dyer during the game.

A strong
Newcastle Academy side were in friendly action against
Northern League side Esh Winning, winning 7-0 at West
Terrace.
Postponed from pre-season, United won via a Kris Gate treble, two from Marc Walton
and one each by Liam Atkin and Nicky Deverdics.
Appearing
as a substitute was Egyptian teenager Mohammed Al Gabbas, who
won an Academy place in an Arab
TV talent show. This was to be his
sole public outing.

Given a starting berth for the first
time, on-loan striker Guiseppe Rossi repaid his selection with a
finely-taken goal and a lively display to help ease us into the Fourth
Round.
Glenn Roeder's reward for winning this tie was a Fourth
Round trip to former club Watford.

since March 1967.

Ameobi's header raised hopes of a second successive draw here, but Kieran Richardson's free kick flew past
Shay Given to win it for Roy Keane's side.
However, that shouldn't have been a shock - Match
of the Day highlighting him hitting a post once and seeing another free kick wrongly ruled
out the previous weekend.
And if anyone missed that, the cover of the match programme for this
game also featured a photo of the latter effort. D'Oh!

2010 From the BBC:
Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has admitted assaulting a
man in a nightclub.
At Newcastle Crown Court the 21-year-old
pleaded guilty to common assault and was fined £1,000. He was also ordered to
pay £2,500 compensation.
The court heard he threw his drink over
Michael Cook in Newcastle nightclub Blu Bambu in December.
Carroll said his glass accidentally slipped
out of his hand and caused a cut to Mr Cook's eyebrow.
He was also ordered to pay court costs of
nearly £1,500.
Carroll had earlier denied assault
occasioning actual bodily harm - that charge dropped when he pleaded
guilty to the lesser offence.

Another new mackem boss
used the wear-Tyne derby to register a first
victory; United on the wrong end of a 0-3 defeat
that simply defied logic and belief.
The fact that it was former Mag manager Sam Allardyce, made it even
more galling but referee Bobby Madley's
awful decision to send off Fabricio Coloccini and award a penalty in first
half stoppage time was decisive.
The dismissal was later rescinded, while the spot-kick was converted by soon-to-be convicted paedophile, Adam
Johnson, still allowed to
play by a club that already had in its possession overwhelming evidence that
would eventually see him jailed.
