Having conceded just two goals in his previous nine international
appearances, Nick Pope picked the ball out of his net three times in 35
minutes at Wembley.
Gareth Southgate's side recovered from a 0-2 deficit to snatch a 3-2
lead before the Germans found a late leveller - aided by Pope's fumble. Trippier remained unused
on the bench.

Premier League:
Fulham (a)
Newcastle return to Premier League action. against Fulham at Craven Cottage on
Saturday.
It's an old-fashioned 3pm start and all 2,300 away
section tickets were sold.
An unspecified number of purchasers were contacted by NUFC on Monday
and told that they wouldn't be receiving tickets after all, due to
apparent over-selling.
Following victories there in May 2019 (4-0) and May 2021 (2-0),
United go in search of a third consecutive win at Craven Cottage -
something that they've never previously achieved.
NUFC:
Jonjo Shelvey and Karl Darlow remain out,
but there's optimism that Callum Wilson will feature after missing
the last four games due to injury.
Footage of Allan Saint-Maximin training this week has raised hopes
of a return to action for him, while Bruno Guimaraes has been seen
in the gym at Darsley Park after his early return from the Brazil
squad.
It's anticipated that Alexander Isak will miss at least one game
with the issue that prevented him featuring for Sweden, while the
availability of Chris Wood and Elliot Anderson is yet to be
determined.

FFC:
Marco Silva's side will be without ever-present Joao Palhinha due to
suspension after he collected his fifth booking. The midfielder has
scored twice already this season in the PL.
The Cottagers are unbeaten at home in their opening three PL games;
sharing four goals with Liverpool, beating Brentford by the odd goal in
five and notching up a 2-1 victory over Brighton.
On the road, Fulham began with a 0-0 draw against
Wolves before successive 1-2 losses to Arsenal and Spurs and a 3-2 win
at Nottingham Forest.
A certain Serbian has scored six of his side's 12 PL goals so far this
season, including at least one in each of Fulham's three PL home games
to date.
Mitrovic also maintained his scoring form with a hat-trick for
Serbia against Sweden in the Nations League on Saturday.
However, that was followed by some
media speculation in Serbia that he was carrying an injury. It remains
to be seen whether he'll face Norway on Tuesday.
PS: Mitro is yet to score or finish on the winning side in three games
for Fulham against Newcastle; two draws at SJP and the 4-0 game at
Craven Cottage. He was unavailable for our 2-0 visit in 2021.

Boro at Bishops
Newcastle's U21 side return to PL2 action on Friday night when they
face Boro at Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park.
It's a 7pm start and admission is £3 on the gate (no
concessions).
Following home wins over Derby County and Nottingham Forest, Elliott
Dickman's side go in search of a third successive win to try and
keep pace with a leading pack of sides that include their opponents.
Boro have won all three of their PL2 games at Bishops this season,
with their only loss in six league outings at the Riverside.
The most recent meeting of the two sides saw the Teessiders run out
4-2 winners at the Riverside back in April. Newcastle had triumphed
4-1 in the corresponding game at Gallowgate earlier in the season.
Update:
SJP in frame for
Euro 2028 bid
From ITV, Wednesday:
Newcastle has launched a bid to be a host city for matches
in Euro 2028.
Both Newcastle City Council and Newcastle United have thrown
their hat into the ring for St James' Park to host fixtures at the
competition.
If successful, it would be one of at least ten stadiums used
during the tournament.
Earlier this year, the UK and Ireland put forward a joint bid
to host the tournament in 2028 and will find out if they have been
successful in September 2023.
Bidding nations will have to put forward a final dossier to
UEFA in April, meaning decisions on potential host cities will have
to be made in the coming months.
With a capacity of more than 52,000, St James’ Park is the
eighth biggest stadium in England and the fourth largest outside of
London.
The ground has previously played host to international
fixtures at Euro 1996 and the 2012 London Olympics - as well as
other sporting occasions, like the 2015 Rugby World Cup and rugby’s
Heineken Cup final in 2019.
A Newcastle City Council spokesperson said: “This is fantastic news
for the city, and demonstrates that we can compete with the rest of
the UK to host major events.
“The tournament is viewed by three billion people worldwide,
and hosting it would put Newcastle on an international stage and
bring significant social and economic benefits to the city.
“At this stage, the FA have requested an early response from
bidding cities that they can commit to meeting the requirements
necessary to qualify as a potential host city. The process is
extremely competitive as we go up against many other leading
football cities with stadiums that meet the requirements of the FA
and UEFA."
City councillors are due to meet next month to discuss what
commitments local authorities and Newcastle United would have to
make to stage matches during the Euros.
The Times lists the stadia in contention as:
Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London Stadium, Villa Park,
Stadium MK, Old Trafford, the Etihad, Everton’s planned Bramley
Moore Dock ground, Stadium of plight and St James’ Park.
Canning along the Benfield Road:
Wor Beer update
A restock of the AnarchyBrewCo
/ Wor Flags beer in cans is imminent and orders can be made
here with a dispatch date of this coming Friday, September
30th.
50p from each can of the 4.3% Light Pale Ale sold goes to help fund the excellent
Wor Flags displays at SJP.
*
Wor Beer is available on draught in city centre bars and local outlets
with cans currently in stock at CentrAle on Central Station and the
Dog & Rabbit in Whitley Bay.
Carabao Cup:
Palace (h) LC date set
Newcastle's Carabao Cup Third Round tie against Crystal
Palace will be played on Wednesday November 9th.
Kick-off at SJP is at 7.45pm and an outcome
must be achieved on the night, with the tie going to penalties in the
event of a draw at 90 minutes.
The game won't be on live TV in the UK and ticket pricing and sale

Premier League:
TV alterations
The Premier League have confirmed details of their live TV selections for November
- also revealing a further change to a previously-altered Newcastle
live game.
That alteration sees the Spurs away game move from the advertised
Saturday 5.30pm slot on October 22nd to Sunday October 23rd at
4.30pm, live on Sky.
Both United's November PL games are live on TV:
Sun 06.11.2022 Southampton (a) 2pm Sky
Sat 12.11.2022 Chelsea (h) 5.30pm Sky
On the plus side, a further shift for the Spurs game gives Eddie Howe's
side an extra day to recover from playing Everton the previous Wednesday night.
From a supporter perspective however, it's another low blow. Holding off
on booking transport and hotels etc. until TV fixture changes are
confirmed is one thing, but to then go back and alter games again on a
whim is quite another.
F*cking the fans, yet again.

What on the face of it was a routine win at Burnden

Albert McInroy's crossbar at 0-0 and the Magpies custodian
keeping the home side at bay with a series of fine
stops.
 1933
A crowd of 10,000 were present at St. James'

Wilf Low - who had died in a car crash.
Representative "North" and "South" sides faced each
other, with the Northern XI running out 6-0 winners.

Meanwhile, a freak storm
at Gallowgate caused the reserve game against Sheffield
United to be abandoned in the 75th minute, with the
score at 1-1. Kenny Mitchell's goal was erased from the

There had been no such problems earlier in the day for the

A fourth consecutive league defeat (and fifth in all
competitions) was witnessed by newly-installed interim
boss Joe Kinnear.
Farcically though he was
forced to watch from the stands - serving the first of a
two-match touchline ban oustanding from 2004.
JFK still managed to get himself in hot water, swearing
live on TV while defending owner Mike Ashley on BBC's
Football Focus:
"He's the one who's cleared the debts, he's the one
who's put the money in. He's the one who's got Newcastle
out of the s***."
Awful defending and a non-existent offside call saw United
0-2 down before rookie Rovers 'keeper Jason Brown had dirtied
his gloves.
And
although Michael Owen won and then converted a penalty
shortly after the restart, salvaging a point never
looked likely

from the official website:
"Newcastle United have today given manager Alan
Pardew and his three senior coaching staff, John Carver,
Steve Stone and Andy Woodman, new eight-year contracts up
to the end of the 2019/20 season.
"The club has awarded the long-term contracts to

ludicrous handball decision in added time allowed United

arm and Callum Wilson dispatching the spot kick.
Ahead through Lucas Moura's first half goal, only Karl Darlow
stood between Spurs and a resounding victory - the visiting
'keeper making 11 noteworthy stops and the goal frame
another two.
