Premier League:
Manchester United (a)
Newcastle's first
festive fixture sees them head to Old Trafford for an 8pm
kick-off on Boxing Day (Friday).
Following a 2-0 win there in December 2024, Eddie Howe's side are
looking to record back to back away victories against Manchester
United for the first time since 1935.
Howe takes charge of the Magpies for the 200th time in all
competitions and had this to say ahead of that landmark:
"My glass is very much half full. I know everyone else
might have a different opinion, but I feel we're improving.
"We have been moving in the right direction, but we have got
lots of work to do to be the team that we ultimately want to be and
that's consistently winning.
"That's what's eluded us this season - the ability to put
winning runs together, which is the defining thing we need to do."
On the Gordon penalty call v Chelsea:
"A call has already gone in (to the PGMOL). We just want to
know the thought process behind the decision."
The game will be live on Sky Sports.
Team: Speaking to the media on Tuesday, the Magpies boss
hinted at early involvements for both Tino Livramento and Sven
Botman, but without pinpoint their return games.
Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Emil Krafth and William Osula remain out.
Bruno Guimaraes has four PL bookings: a fifth against Manchester
United or Burnley will prompt a one game ban.
Coral rate this game as
follows:
NUFC win 11/5
The draw 27/10
MUFC win 11/10

MUFC: Kobbie Mainoo, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are
all injured while AFCON call-ups mean Bryan Mbeumo,
Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui will all be missing.
Casemiro is available following suspension.
Sunday saw Ruben Amiron's side lose 1-2 at Aston Villa - their tenth
successive failure to record a clean sheet.
Bruno Fernandes failed to return for the second half at Villa Park
after sustaining a hamstring injury and he's expected to miss our
visit.
At home this season in the Premier League, the Red Devils have won
four (Burnley, Chelsea, mackems and Brighton, drawn two (West Ham
and Bournemouth) and lost two (Arsenal and Everton).
Home goals scored & conceded (16-12) mirrors Newcastle's - although
the Magpies have played one more game (nine).
Referee: Anthony Taylor - first NUFC appointment of the season
for the Cheshire-based whistler, who is an avowed Altrincham fan and
former club director. Now on the FIFA list, Taylor was a prison
officer when a part-time official.
He oversaw three games last season involving us: the 3-1 PL win at
Forest, 3-0 home conquest of Aston Villa and 1-2 defeat to Brighton
in the FA Cup at SJP.

Press release from Liverpool FC, Monday, confirming that their

Anfield at the end of next month:
Alexander Isak today successfully underwent surgery on

The Liverpool striker was injured in a challenge in the
process of scoring the opening goal against Tottenham Hotspur and
had to be substituted.
After diagnosis, an operation was completed today on an ankle
injury that included a fibula fracture.
Isak's rehabilitation will now continue at the AXA Training

Manchester City will be played as follows:

That second leg comes less than three weeks before the
sides meet in the Premier League at the Etihad, United
having beaten City 2-1 at Gallowgate in November.
This is the sixth time that City and United have been
paired in the League Cup and the first occasion since
September 2023, when the Magpies won 1-0 on Tyneside.
Newcastle's 2-0 away success in October 2014 meanwhile
remains our only league or cup victory at that venue:

The Magpies bid farewell to 2025 at Turf Moor, when they face Scott

It's a 7.30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.
Away fans have been moved to the opposite end of the Cricket Field
Stand since our last visit with access via a different set of
turnstiles.
Following a 2-1 home victory earlier in December, Newcastle have the
opportunity to complete their first PL win double of the season.
Were they collect three points, they'd extend their winning PL run
against Burnley to eight games.

once (Forest) and lost the other five (Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea,
Palace and Fulham).

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

24th December |

Born Or Died:
1892 Newcastle United born, Newcastle.
1909 David Bell born,
Gorebridge, Scotland. (1930-34)
Defender who was acquired from Lothian- based amateur side
Wallyford Bluebell at a cost of £150 in May 1930.
Known as Daniel as SJP, he made his senior Magpies debut in a 2-1 victory away
to Grimsby Town in September 1931.
Moving on to Derby County in a £700 deal in the summer of 1934 and would
later sign for Ipswich Town, remaining in Suffolk after his retirement from
playing in 1950.
Bell passed away in April 1986, by which time he was back in the North East
and living in Monkseaton.
1978 Death of Stan Seymour Snr,
at the age of 85. (1920-29 Player, 1938-78
Manager & Director)
As captain, manager, director and Vice -President Seymour served United
in three spells over a period of almost seventy years.
The man known as “Mister Newcastle” thanks to his later achievements on
and off the field was initially discarded by the club as a teenage amateur
player before World War One, returning to play for Shildon.
After a brief spell at Bradford City, Seymour’s career took off after some
impressive displays for Greenock Morton before a move to SJP came in May 1920.
The return on the £2,500 fee paid was instant as Stan marked his debut with a
goal on the opening day of the season, although his side only managed a 1-1
home draw with West Bromwich Albion.
Four solid seasons brought successive top ten finishes, culminating in a 2-0
victory in the 1924 FA Cup Final, where Seymour scored the second goal in the
dying minutes of the club’s Wembley debut.
Seymour’s finest campaign though came in 1926/27 as he was an ever-present
in the Championship-winning side, scoring eighteen goals in the process –
the last of which gave his side the 1-1 draw that clinched the title away to
West Ham United.
Two seasons later came his retirement from playing, his final appearance
coming at Gallowgate against Arsenal in October 1928.
Nine years later however Stan was invited to join the Newcastle Board,
giving up his sideline of reporting on matches for newspapers but retaining
ownership of the sports shop he’d established in the city.
After the war years intervened, he set about reconstructing the side which
achieved promotion back to the First Division at the second attempt, in 1948.
Having handed over nominal control of team affairs to George Martin, Seymour
took over again when Martin defected to Aston Villa in 1950, presiding over
two Wembley FA Cup Final successes.
A dip in results though saw Stan convinced by his fellow directors try another
team manager, Duggie Livingstone arriving at Christmas 1954.
He was to last barely a year though, with Seymour famously over-ruling him
before the 1955 FA Cup Final, when the name of Jackie Milburn was missing from
the first team sheet submitted to the directors.
Seymour remained at St.James’ Park while Charlie Mitten and Norman Smith
were tried in the manager’s job,
However, his masterstroke would to bringing Joe Harvey back to SJP in 1962
– the ex-Magpie having been overlooked for the post when Mitten
was appointed, moving on to learn his trade at Workington.
With Harvey’s departure in 1975, Seymour retired as a director the
following year at the age of 83.
He passed away two years later, having seen his son join the board –
although he didn’t live to see Stan Seymour junior emulate his father and
become Chairman.

Defeat at the Boleyn
ground extended Newcastle's winless run to six games -
their cause not helped by the absence of Hughie

walloped 0-5 in the return fixture at Elland Road.
Teenage centre-half Graham Winstanley made his senior debut from the bench,
replacing Ollie Burton.
