U18s:
Reds Cup test next
Following a trio of league victories,
Newcastle's U18 side conclude their Premier League Cup group stage
fixtures against Liverpool at Little Benton on Saturday (11am).
Chris Moore's side began their Group B participation with a 3-2 home
win over Leicester City before going down 1-7 at Aston Villa.
The Reds are pointless after their opening two ties: a 1-2 home loss
to Villa followed by a 0-1 defeat at Leicester.
The two sides have already met this season at league level; United
winning by the odd goal in seven on Merseyside.
Expansion of the Premier League Cup from seven to eight groups means
that only group winners now advance to the quarter finals and the
best runner-up spot disappears.
Given that leaders Villa and second-placed Leicester face each other
in their final game, Newcastle are unable to progress regardless of
results.
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.

The Magpies conclude their Group C ties by hosting Croatia Zagreb in
December and Benfica in January. The format of the 32 team competition means that none of the

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.
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
Away tickets are in digital format but all 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 French time.
That meeting point is Place de la Joliette (pictured), 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.

Five players are expected to be out:

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.
Going into the international break second in Ligue 1 - two points
behind PSG - Marseille return to action away at Nice on Friday
November 21st.

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.

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 |
|
20th November |
|
Born Or Died:
1973 Death of Thomas Lowes, 81.
(1910-14)
1975 Death of Robert
Roxburgh, 78.
(1920-24)
 1978 Paul Robinson born,
s*nderland.
(1998-2000)
United boss Kenny
Dalglish did his old Anfield team mate David Hodgson a
favour back in March 1998, paying £500K to sign the two promising strikers in
his Darlington side - Robinson and James Coppinger.
Having debuted in the Quakers first team
at the age of 16, Robbo played for our reserve and junior
sides before getting his senior team chance under Ruud Gullit ahead of the
1999/00 season.
Scoring in friendly matches against Dundee United,
Reading and Stoke City, Paul's competitive debut then
came as a late substitute in our opening day home loss
to Aston Villa.
Handed a first start in the infamous monsoon derby game while messrs
Shearer and Ferguson glowered from the bench, Paul's only competitive senior goal
was a mis-hit shot from two yards out in a 2-2 home draw with CSKA Sofia.
One other notable moment came in the 8-0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday,
when he tried to grab the ball to take a penalty. Needless to say, Shearer left
him in no doubt that he wouldn't be denied one of the five he stuck past the
Owls that day....
Dropping out of the first team picture in November 1999,
Robbo made one further senior appearance, coming off the
bench in the second half of a 0-2 home defeat by
Leicester City the following April.
Wimbledon agreed to pay £1.5m for him in July 2000, but after just a handful of
games he was loaned out to Burnley three months later
and Dundee United the following year.
Brief spells playing or on trial at Blackpool, Hull, Grimsby, Carlisle,
Hartlepool, York City, St. Johnstone, Ross County, Aberdeen and
Torquay United then followed, the latter ending during 2006.
Next up was a tour of Northern League clubs, including Whitley Bay, Horden CW, Sunderland RCA and
Sunderland Nissan.
2008 then saw Robbo declared bankrupt and turning up on trial
(in a footballing sense...)
at his first club Darlington. However, he failed to impress the Quakers and was
released, next appearing for Consett.
Reduced to playing for a team in a 5 a-side league on
Wednesdays at the Crowtree Leisure Centre, 2010 then saw
Robbo attempt a further comeback.
Based in South East England, postings at Maidenhead United, Hayes & Yeading,
Hendon, Windsor & Eton, Beaconsfield SYCOB and Chesham
United followed. Paul returned to the North
East with Jarrow
Roofing in 2011, before a brief stint back
at Chesham and some time at Didcot Town.
Back in the Northern League again, he then had no less
than three separate spells at Jarrow Roofing,
interspersed with time at Newton Aycliffe, Hebburn Town and South
Shields - leaving the latter in 2015.
Robbo began the 2015/16 season in the colours of
Ashbrooke Sports Club in the sunderland Sunday League.
In July 2016 he turned out for the Pavel Srnicek
memorial game in a Newcastle XI, scoring four times in a
13-6 victory.
Despite signing for Northern League side Dunston UTS
afterwards though, Paul was never sighted in their
colours.
 1991
Grant Hanley born, Dumfries, Scotland. (2016-17) 
Newcastle's sixth signing of Summer 2016 saw them pay £5.5m
to Blackburn Rovers for their central defender and
captain.
The Scottish international signed a five-year deal
after previous bids of £3.5m and £4.5m were rejected
and made his Magpies bow during a friendly win at
Southend United.
Included in the starting line-up for United's opening day
loss at Fulham, Grant weighed in with his first goal for
the club in a memorable 6-0 win at QPR in September
2016.
However, he lost his place in the side after Jamaal Lascelles and Ciaran Clark became the first-choice
pairing of Rafa Benitez.
The pre-season acquisition of Florian Lejeune meant that
he was surplus to requirements and a move to Derby
County looked likely only for Hanley himself to reject a
move.
Despite Lejeune's injury on the opening day against Spurs
though, Hanley didn't earn a recall to the first team
squad - and would leave without making a top-flight bow.
His final game was a home League Cup loss to Nottingham Forest in August 2017 - with Norwich City beating fellow Championship side Fulham to his signature in a £4m deal.
Following promotion to the Premier League he lined up against United
two years later, as the Canaries got their first Premier League win with a comprehensive 3-1 victory.
Staying with City for a further relegation, promotion and
relegation, Grant left Norfolk at the end of the
2024/25, joining Hibernian on a free transfer.
Beginning his
playing career
with
Queen of the South, Hanley later
joined
Crewe
Alexandra and
also spent time at Rangers before signing for Blackburn
Rovers in 2008 and making his senior debut a year
later.
Appearing for Scotland U19 and U21s, his full senior debut in May
2011 saw him replacing ex Magpie Gary Caldwell during a 3-0
friendly win over Wales in Dublin.
Featuring in Scotland's three group games at Euro 2024 in
Germany, Grant's 34th birthday came hours after
his 65th cap helped secure an unlikely 4-2 victory over
Denmark at Hampden Park and a place at the 2026 World
Cup Finals..

The
Magpies faced a side selected by Jimmy Thackeray at
Chester-le-Street, funds raised benefiting the
local cricket club.
Born in Hebburn, Thackeray played over 100 times for
Middlesbrough between 1904 and 1910, mostly as an outside
left.
Also playing cricket for Chester-le-Street and was the
club professional at the time of this game against the
Magpies.
"Only a small attendance"
were reportedly present on a Wednesday afternoon.

The visitors arrived top of the table and in search of
a fifth successive away win, but were unable to wear down
the defensive rocks of Bill McCracken, Frank Hudspeth and
goalkeeper Jimmy Lawrence.
Ahead through Ted Ward's shot, United held out until late
in the game when Stan Seymour met a Neil Harris cross with
a header that sealed victory.

The Pilgrims made
a fruitless fifth visit to Tyneside despite taking an
early lead and protesting over a penalty award to United
late in the first half to such an extent that the referee
changed his mind.
"Bad football and bad tempers" began the
report in the Western Morning News.

A groin injury deprived United of Frank Brennan at
Burnden Park, Bob Stokoe filling in admirably at centre
half as recent signing Bill Paterson was left at home to
play for the reserves at Gallowgate.
1954 The Reserves hammered Sheffield Wednesday
6-1 in the Central League.
Vic Keeble grabbed a hat-trick, there were two for Alan
Monkhouse and Harry Taylor weighed in with the other goal.

a seven game winless run, Len White and Jackie Bell were
on target again in this midweek visit to Tynecastle.
In goal for the Jambos was future Magpie Gordon Marshall,
while United's Bill Curry was missing as he featured for
the Army against an Irish FA XI the same evening.

Newcastle have ever conceded.
When the ball was played forward to Michel Ngonge, he had no defender or goalkeeper between him and the goal, let alone the
requisite two.

Shearer from home fans - sorry Bobby, but
we've known for years they were a bunch of small-town plastic
