Magpies rue
late lapse
Newcastle 2 Spurs 2
Match action is online

An acrobatic added time effort from Cristian Romero ended
Newcastle's hopes of recording their seventh successive league and
cup victory at Gallowgate on Tuesday night - something no Magpies
side had achieved since 2004.
Although the hosts had dominated proceedings until that point, it
took until the 71st minute for them to open the scoring, when
substitute Bruno Guimaraes produced a fine side-footed finish at the
Gallowgate End following Anthony Gordon's run and Nick Woltemade's
lay-off.
That lead lasted just seven minutes though, before a low right wing
cross from Mohammed Kudus was met by a diving header from visiting
captain Cristian Romero for 1-1.
Fortune then appeared to have smiled on United with eight minutes
remaining, after a tussle between Dan Burn and Rodrigo Bentancur as
a corner kick came over led to a VAR award of a penalty kick that
few, if any, had claimed.
Referee Tom Bramall was invited to review pitchside footage before
pointing to the spot, Gordon powerfully dispatching the ball past
Guglielmo Vicario from 12 yards to apparently seal United's third
successive league victory.
That lead was retained for five of the nine minutes added on, only
to be surrendered once again to Romero - who struck the ball with
his shin
after Ramsdale clumsily punched an incoming corner away.
That bicycle kick then
bobbled agonisingly into the Leazes net - the second and
final effort on target that Spurs had in the whole game.
It could even have got worse for United, with Richarlison
momentarily looking as if a cut back from the left byline by Mathys
Tel would reach him in front of goal. Thankfully though, it didn't
and Spurs avoided emulating Liverpool and Arsenal in scoring
added-time winners at SJP this season.
Thomas Frank's side continued their run of scoring in every away
game so far this season and have now lost only one of seven PL
fixtures on the road (at Arsenal) but that brought little solace:
this was a draw that felt like a defeat.

Eddie Howe's side now have 19 points from 14 games - one
less than at the same stage in the 2024/25 season.
United recorded their first PL home draw in 18 games,
since a 3-3 stalemate with Liverpool during December 2024. The
intervening 17 games saw 12 home wins and five losses.
Bruno Guimaraes made it four PL goals for the season, all
scored at the Gallowgate End in the second half of games. The
Brazilian now has 25 efforts to his name in the PL - one shy
of Michael Owen and two behind Craig Bellamy.
Anthony Gordon scored his fifth goal in all competitions so
far this season, three of which were penalty conversions. This was
his first PL spot kick since missing one against Everton at Goodison
Park back in October 2024.
Tonight's effort gave him a first PL goal since a 3-0 home win over
Wolves in January 2025 and put him 19 PL strikes - one ahead
of Fabian Schar and two short of Jacob Murphy.
Referee: Tom Bramall - first Toon posting of the season for the
Sheffield-based official, last seen taking charge of our 4-0 PL home victory
over Leicester City in December 2024.
VAR: Paul Tierney
Eddie Howe said:
"I don't think it was us at
our best today but we battled into a position we wanted with a few
minutes left and we just couldn't defend that corner at the end.
"We are disappointed with the
first goal, it was a standard cross and we haven't defended it well
enough.
"Second one, we didn't deal with
the first contact then didn't stop the overhead kick. Somehow it
went in. It's a painful one for us to take. A disappointing feeling
having worked so hard.
"Bruno's goal was an outstanding
finish. He made a difference, his energy and enthusiasm and passion
is always stand out for us. He made a big difference.
"The league is so tight. Three consecutive wins was our target. We
were a few minutes away from getting it. That is the Premier League,
and that is what makes it what it is.
"That's what makes football so
dramatic and why we are all obsessed by it. You have to take the
rough with the smooth.
"We could have certainly done with scoring in that first half when
we were on top.
"There are moments in games that
swing it one way or the other. The first goal felt like it wasn't
going to come for us.
"There were opportunities there
for us to take. But once we got in front, we have to be more savvy,
especially after the second goal."
On Sandro Tonali:
"Sandro took a knock in the first half. I don't quite know the
extent of the injury or what type of injury it is."
On the penalty award:
"The big thing is the defender doesn't look at the ball at all, he's
just looking at Dan (Burn). It's probably the right call."
Stats:
As at Everton, Newcastle avoided any yellow cards - the first time they
have been blemish-free in successive PL games this season.
That means messrs Burn, Guimaraes and Joelinton remain on three
bookings apiece - and with only one PL game before the derby, will
be free from suspension....unless dismissed against Burnley.

Lincs loss
Scunthorpe United
2 Newcastle U21s 0
Newcastle U21s lost their 100% in this season's National League Cup
at the third attempt on Tuesday night, beaten by Scunthorpe United at the Attis
Arena.
Trialist forward Aramide Oteh took advantage of defensive failings
to give the The Iron a 33rd minute lead against the run of play.
That gave the hosts confidence and they deservedly doubled their
advantage through Declan Howe, 10 minutes from the end of normal
time.
Defeat leaves the Magpies third in the table, needing a win in their
final game at Halifax on December 16th to overhaul the second-placed
Shaymen and reach the knockout stage.

Heffernan, Finneran (Palmer 85), Al.Harrison, Shahar, Brayson

Teenage rampage
Newcastle U18s
5 Derby County U18s 0
United's youngsters recorded a resounding victory at Whitley
Park on Saturday, as Chris Moore's side made it four league wins in
a row.
Ahead through Sam Pinnington's first league goal of the season on 25
minutes, the Magpies went two up just five minutes later when Matheos
Ferreira shot home.
Top scorer Kacey Wooster added his fifth of the season within three
minutes of the interval before substitute Alfie Seldon made it 4-0
soon after.
Pinnington's second on the hour rounded off the scoring, leaving
Newcastle sit second in the table, five points behind Manchester
City and two ahead of Manchester United.
They'll face the latter at Carrington this Saturday.
Team: Mair,
Bloomer, Durrant, Moran, Johnson, Miley (Lucas 64), Ferreira

Update:
No Magic next year
The annual Rugby League Magic
Weekend won't be staged at St.James' Park in 2026, with an
official announcement made that Everton FC will host the event in
early July.
The borrowers:
Loan lads
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
A rare goal and an even rarer header for Matt, levelling for
Boro in Saturday's 2-1 home win over Derby County in the Championship.
He completed the full 90 minutes.
Aidan Harris (Coleraine):
A clean sheet for the goalkeeper as Coleraine won 2-0 at Crusaders
in the Irish Premiership on Saturday.
Joe White (Leyton Orient):
The O's scored four times without reply at Burton Albion in League One
on Saturday but Joe didn't feature.
Antonio Cordero (KVC Westerlo):
It finished 2-2 away at Dender in the Belgian Pro League on
Saturday, Antonio introduced from the bench in the 86th minute when
the scoring was complete.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
A farcical Sunday evening at the Amsterdam ArenA, as the Ajax versus
Groningen Eredivisie game was abandoned with just five minutes
played due to fans throwing fireworks on the pitch. Hernes wasn't
named in the travelling party.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
Sunday saw Lorient host Nice in Ligue 1, winning 3-1, but there
was no place for the winger in the squad.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
The custodian kept his place for Sunday's Seville derby in La Liga,
as rivals Real Betis won 2-0 on the road.
Update:
War of words
From OM, Thursday - interesting that
they mention the Paris police, who we'll be renewing acquaintance
with in 2026:
Olympique de Marseille has taken
note of the statement published by Newcastle United FC following the
Champions League match played this Tuesday at the Orange Vélodrome.
The Club reiterates that the
arrangements for the arrival and departure of visiting supporters
were finalized well in advance of the match, in close coordination
with the Paris Police Prefecture, UEFA, and Newcastle United FC
itself. This system, compliant with UEFA standards, was meticulously
implemented and proceeded smoothly.
Olympique de Marseille also
wishes to remind everyone that it deploys significant human,
technical, logistical and financial resources at each match to
guarantee opposing fans a quality welcome and optimal security
conditions.
The Club also emphasizes that no
specific incidents or alerts were reported to it by Newcastle United
FC during the evening of the match, nor by their representatives
present at the stadium, nor in the hours following the match.
Furthermore, the feedback sent to our department by UEFA after the
match confirms the quality of the security measures implemented and
their effective operational execution.
Olympique de Marseille reaffirms
once again its unwavering commitment to the safe travel of its own
supporters and, consequently, its dedication to providing away fans
with a suitable and secure environment. Therefore, the Club cannot
accept that its responsibility be wrongly called into question.
Finally, the Club wishes to
commend the rigorous and coordinated work of the Police Prefecture,
whose actions ensured the smooth running of the event and the safety
of all supporters.
Update:
Marseille (a) statement
From NUFC, Thursday:
We will be formally raising our concerns with UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and French police in relation to the
unacceptable treatment of our supporters by police at Stade
Vélodrome following Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixture.
Following the final whistle, our
supporters were required to remain in the stadium for a period of up
to one hour on the instruction of local authorities to ensure their
safety when leaving the stadium.
Plans were in place to move 500
supporters at a time, with a police escort to the Metro station for
onward travel to Place de la Joliette.
Our supporters were in good
spirits despite the disappointing result and waited patiently and
without incident during the holdback period.
The post-match operation was
observed at close quarters by our stewards and senior staff.
'Unnecessary and
disproportionate force'
Once the first group of
supporters was released, the police began using unnecessary and
disproportionate force to stop the remainder of our fans from moving
any further. This was actioned through a combination of pepper
spray, batons and shields, with numerous supporters being
indiscriminately assaulted by the police.
Many supporters were visibly
distressed, particularly in the upper concourse area of the away
sector, where crushing became apparent.
Our staff immediately addressed
the matter with the police, however this had limited impact on their
excessive tactics.
Fans leaving the stadium rightly
shared their distress, frustration and anger with our staff, and we
have subsequently received deeply concerning witness reports from
supporters who were in attendance.
Supporter safety and welfare
should always be of paramount importance, and we strongly condemn
the treatment of our supporters by the police during this incident.
Next steps
We will be calling on UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and local authorities to formally investigate
this matter to ensure lessons are learned and this behaviour is not
repeated.
We are continuing to liaise with
the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) as we gather
evidence on behalf of our supporters.
Were you in attendance?
We would like to hear from
supporters affected by this incident as we collate as much
supporting information as possible. This will also be shared with
UEFA, UKFPU and the Football Supporters Europe organisation.
Supporters who wish to share
their witness report should email
[email protected]
Update:
Les O'Neill RIP
Former Newcastle United midfielder
Les O'Neill has died, days before his 82nd birthday.
Northumberland born Les played for New Hartley Juniors and Blyth
Spartans before joining the Magpies in 1961, playing alongside the
likes of David Craig and Bob Moncur in the FA Youth Cup-winning side
during his first season at SJP.
Becoming a regular in the reserves,
O'Neill was called upon for senior team duty just once, a 2-5 loss
at Portsmouth in Division Two during October 1963.
Sidelined by injury for almost a
year, Les was transferred to Darlington in 1965 and later joined
Bradford City before five years at Carlisle United brought him to
prominence.
Helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to Division One in 1974, he
scored three goals in their first two top-flight fixtures as
Carlisle briefly topped the table.
Affected by fitness issues again,
Les played his final games for Queen of the South and became a
milkman in Carlisle.
Later off-field involvement saw him take charge of Penrith and
Workington in addition to coaching and scouting for Carlisle,
Blackpool and Wycombe Wanderers.

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.

On This Day in History |
|
3rd December |

Born Or Died:
1880 Alexander Noble Hall born, Peterhead,
Scotland. (1907-08)
Centre forward who began his career at
Peterhead before emigrating to Canada, where he signed
for Toronto Scots.
Later joining the Galt club in Cambridge, he played
for them as Canada's representatives in the 1904
Olympics in the US city of St.Louis,
winning Gold.
Relocating to Montreal the following year, Hall signed
for Westmount before later making his way back to
Europe.
Signed from Edinburgh side St.Bernards in April 1907,
Alex appeared for United soon after in a friendly away
to Aberdeen.
Making a good impression on a post -season tour of
Germany he bagged ten goals in three outings and
debuted in a 1-3 reverse at Sheffield Wednesday in
September 1907,
Hall returned to the side a fortnight later and
retained his place for the next five games, scoring
against Nottingham Forest and Notts County in
successive games.
Transferred to Dundee in March 1908, Alex won a
Scottish Cup medal during three years on Tayside,
moving on to become Dunfermline player-manager in
1910.
Serving in the British Army during WW1, Hall later
returned to Canada and lived in Toronto, playing for
Mimico Beach.
He died in September 1943, aged 62.
1940 Robert Folland born,
Hartlepool,
(1959)
Centre forward who played for Seaton
Holy Trinity in Seaton Carew before catching the eye
of Newcastle scouts.
Failing to secure a professional contract on Tyneside,
Bobby joined his hometown club following his release
by the Magpies.
Folland's place in Hartlepools folklore is assured
thanks to a performance at the Victoria Ground in
April 1961, when he scored all five goals in a 5-1 win
over Oldham Athletic.
Within two years though Folland had packed in playing
league football and was turning out for local side
Blackhall Colliery Welfare.
 1941
Death of Neil Harris, 47.
(1920-25)
One of only a handful of players to complete a
century of goals for United, Harris was serving as the
manager of Swindon Town when his passing was recorded.
1951 John Burridge born,
Workington.
(Player & coach 1989-91, 1993-97)
The phrase 'more clubs than Jack
Nicklaus' was never more fitting when describing a
footballer, than for the eccentric "Budgie".
A "have gloves, will travel" outlook saw him
enjoy a 29 year playing career, although he actually
began as an outfield player with Workington in 1967,
quickly taking his place between the posts.
Turning down an approach from Stoke City, Burridge
accepted an offer from Bob Stokoe when he was in
charge of Blackpool and he moved to Bloomfield Road in
April 1971.
Later transfers took John to...deep breath.... Aston
Villa, Southend United (loan), Crystal Palace, QPR,
Wolves, Derby County (loan), Sheffield United,
Southampton, Newcastle, Hartlepool United (trial),
Falkirk (loan), Hibernian, Barrow, Newcastle,
Scarborough, Lincoln City, Enfield, Aberdeen,
Dunfermline, Falkirk, Dumbarton, Falkirk, Manchester
City, Notts County, Witton Albion, Darlington, Grimsby
Town, Gateshead, Northampton Town, Queen of the South,
Purfleet,
Blyth Spartans, Scarborough and Blyth Spartans.
Initially signed by Jim Smith for £25,000 from
Southampton in September 1989, Budgie, debuted in a
4-0 League Cup home win over Reading the following
month.
His final game came in a 3-2 victory against Oldham
Athletic in April 1991, incoming boss Ossie Ardiles
opting to release him at the conclusion of that
season.
Following unsuccessful trials with Darlington,
Hartlepool United and Falkirk, Budgie was signed by
Hibernian to replace Andy Goram and within months had
earned a League Cup winner's medal.
Budgie returned to SJP with Kevin Keegan in August
1993 in a coaching role and as cover when applications
to gain a work permit for USA custodian Brad Friedel
were rejected.
That second spell saw him fail to add to his tally of
senior team appearances, although he did make the
bench in both of United's first two Premiership
campaigns.
Loaned out to Manchester City, Budgie appeared as a
half-time substitute against Newcastle at Maine Road
in place of Tony Coton during April 1995 - and kept a
clean sheet in a 0-0 draw.
John's final involvement with Newcastle was as a
part-time coach while in charge of Blyth Spartans -
also working with goalkeepers at Leeds United at
that time.
He's remembered at SJP for elongated pre- match
warm-ups and an obsession with both fitness and diet
(he routinely ate jars of baby food during the
season).
Budgie also had a sideline in selling clothing, with a
shop in Newcastle city centre and a stall at the
Gateshead Garden Festival - something that got him
into bother with the law when in charge at Blyth
Spartans.
Charged with handling dodgy clobber, part of the case
against him consisted of TV footage showing his Blyth
squad ahead of an FA Cup tie against Blackpool - clad
in the offending threads...
Fined £16,000, Burridge contemplated taking his own
life and spent time at the Priory whilst struggling
with depression brought on by the end of his playing
career.
Having completed his coaching badges while at
Hibernian, Burridge was convinced by his former boss
Ian Porterfield to join him in his role as national
team coach of Oman.
Surviving a serious accident in 1999 when
knocked off his bicycle, Burridge later coaching
part-time at the Al-Ain club and featured as a TV
pundit during Premier League games in the Gulf states.
Publishing his memoirs in 2011 (inevitably titled,
"Budgie"), a new chapter in John's life
then opened up in 2014 when he accepted the post of
assistant goalkeeping coach with the Singapore
national team.
PS: Incredibly, November 2022 found Burridge
playing in a charity match aged 70, at
Easter Road - ground of former club Hibs.
1971 Phil Mason born, Consett.
(1986-92)
Midfielder/full back who played for
Hilda Park and Durham City Juniors before joining
Newcastle as an apprentice (having also played for the
mackems as a youngster).
Progressing through to the reserves, the turning point
in Phil's career at SJP came in September 1990, when
he was involved in a serious car crash on the A1 after
watching a Central League game at Leeds.
Also in the car was Alan Thompson, Mickey Young, John
Watson and Michael English - Mason later recounting
what happened:
"We crashed and I went through
the back windscreen and broke my back. I was found 50
yards from the car.
"At the time I was in the first team squad but I
was out for a year. When I came back Kevin Keegan
decided to release me."
Exiting at the end of the 1991/92 season, he
signed for Gateshead and had a runout for Darlington
before joining Blyth Spartans.
Further trials with Cambridge United, Derby County and
Bolton Wanderers followed but no deal followed and
Phil subsequently embarked on a non-league tour
including Kettering Town, Worcester City, Spennymoor
United, Oxford City, Brackley Town, Aylesbury United,
Boreham Wood and Banbury United.
A ten year association with Woodford United then
followed, arriving as a player in 2003 and moving on
to both coach and manage the Northamptonshire club.
Later taking charge at both Wellingborough Town and
Long Buckby, Phil worked as a personal trainer before
taking up a role at Middlesbrough's Academy during
2017.
1993 Michael Hoganson born, Newcastle. (2009-12)
Defender who came off the bench to
debut for the U18s in a 2-2 home draw with West
Bromwich Albion in September 2009.
The Baggies also provided the opposition when Hogie
made his reserve bow in a 1-4 home defeat by the
Baggies at Darsley Park during March 2012.
Released that summer, trials at Northampton Town in
pre-season led to a contract offer from the Cobblers,
but Michael instead opted to Derby County and signed a
one year deal at the Championship side.
A senior Rams debut followed against Wolves in
February 2013 - the first of four Championship outings
that season before foot and hip injuries saw him
sidelined.
Loaned to Conference side Alfreton Town in March 2014,
Michael appeared six times but was released by Derby
that summer.
After playing for Gateshead reserves as a trialist,
Michael joined up with Northern League side Newcastle
Benfield. He later moved on to Bishop Auckland, West
Auckland and Whickham.

Two late Asprilla goals sent United through to the
next round and he celebrated in original style, by
uprooting the corner flag and hoisting his shirt from it.
The unimpressed referee promptly booked him which meant he
was suspended for the next round against Monaco.
Tino then contrived to injure himself and was withdrawn on
a stretcher to thunderous applause, which he milked as he
made slow progress around the perimeter of the pitch.

2001 United's FA
Youth Cup campaign was over before it had begun as the
promising U18 side disappointingly lost 2-1 at Norwich
City.
On a night when little went right in front of goal, Lewis
Guy eventually got on the scoresheet on 97 minutes at
Carrow Road.
2003 A
scrambled goal from Danny Howe gave the U18 side an FA
Youth Cup Fourth Round place, after a victory on the South
coast at Portsmouth's Fratton Park.
Howe netted from close range after Matty Pattison had
given United a first half lead, cancelled out by Liam
Horsted's leveller.
This was the first meeting of the two sides in the Youth
Cup since the successful 1961/62 campaign when the Magpies
also won 1-0 in Hampshire at the semi-final stage.

After an appalling midweek Carling Cup defeat at Wigan,
only a bungled late penalty by Villa's Gareth Barry kept
Magpies boss Graeme Souness in a job.
Had that 88th minute spot kick been converted, then calls
for the manager's head would have been hard to
resist.
Meanwhile,
Alan Shearer closed in on the all-time club goalscoring
record, with his penalty taking him on to 198 strikes.

The draw for the FA Cup Third Round gave us an away trip
to Championship league leaders Birmingham City, ensuring
that those lucky travelling Toon fans wouldn't miss out on
a trip to St.Andrews that season - despite the Magpies
having relegated Steve Bruce's side the previous April.
2009 Asked
about the club's transfer plans - and in particular Sol
Campbell - United boss Chris Hughton commented that:
"Sol is a wonderful player and I’m quite sure
come January he’ll be playing his football somewhere.
We’re not prepared to rule it out, because he’s a
player who would be available."
However, the player
himself also spoke, to say that:
"I have a few clubs tabling offers at the moment, but
one of them doesn’t seem to be Newcastle now.”

The late Gary Speed
was given a dignified tribute on and off the pitch at an
emotionally charged SJP.
However, referee Mike Dean soon took centre stage, failing
to show David Luiz what was an indisputable red card after
just four minutes.
That decision ultimately cost United, despite Tim Krul's
early penalty save from Frank Lampard raising hopes that
it was our day.
Injuries to Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor also
contributed to the loss and the woodwork played a part in
Newcastle's unbeaten home record ending at the seventh
time of asking.

Demba Ba's double and Gael Bigirimana's
first senior strike in this Monday night TV game ended a
run of four straight losses.
A crucial decision went in United's favour, as Papiss
Cisse was sent tumbling in the box by Maynor Figueroa and
was red-carded before Ba tucked away the resultant
penalty.
One became two when Davide Santon's shot was pushed out by
Ali Al Habsi to Ba, who knocked in the rebound. Substitute
Bigi then sealed the win with a memorable strike.

Sean Longstaff
signed a new deal keeping him at SJP until
2022.
The 21 year-old midfielder was about to enter the
final six months of his current deal and yet to make his
Premier League debut at the time of signing.
2023 The FA Cup Third Round draw set up the first Tyne-wear derby in the FA Cup since a
quarter-final tie in 1956 - and the first time ever that Newcastle United and
the mackems had met in a competitive match when not in the same
division.

Newcastle U21s broke new ground facing Boston
