United are bidding for a sixth successive home win in
all competitions, during which they have conceded once. Eddie Howe has overseen six home wins in a row just once since
arriving at Gallowgate, between February and April 2022.

Brentford, William Osula remains out and there's still no return

Everton (a) tickets
- further update
Following our note on Wednesday about
digital tickets for the Everton away game, Thursday brought reports
of fresh problems from some fans who downloaded theirs to their
wallets - only to find that they changed overnight.
That is now resolved and NUFC are sending out emails to ticket
holders confirming that - also providing a manual workaround of
updating the pass in wallet for anyone struggling to read the
section, row and seat details.

World Cup latest
Thursday saw World Cup play-off draw
made as follows:
Semi-finals:
Italy v Northern Ireland
Poland v Albania
Slovakia v Kosovo
Czech Republic v Ireland
Wales v Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ukraine v Sweden
Turkey v Romania
Denmark v North Macedonia
Finals: Wales or
Bosnia & Herzegovina v Italy or Northern Ireland
Ukraine or Sweden v Poland or Albania
Slovakia or Kosovo v Turkey or Romania
Czech Republic or Ireland v Denmark or North Macedonia
Semi-finals will take place on Thursday 26.03.2026 with the finals
on Tuesday 31.03.2026.
The Confederations play off draw also took place, with six nations
battling in the USA next March for one place.
Yoane Wissa's DR Congo were seeded and play the winners of
New Caledonia versus Jamaica, while Iraq face either Bolivia or
Surinam. The two sides who emerge triumphant from that both qualify
for the World Cup Finals.
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.

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.
Currently second in Ligue 1 - two points
behind PSG - Marseille return to action at Nice tonight (Friday).

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.

21st November |

Born Or Died:
1893 Harry Harrison born, Redcar.
(1912-13) 
Beginning his playing career at
Grangetown Athletic, goalkeeper Harry signed up as
an amateur for United in February 1912.
However he failed to break into the senior squad
and left Gallowgate the following year, joining
Middlesbrough.
Featuring for the Teessiders during wartime
matches, Harrison became understudy to the
long-serving Tim Williamson and debuted in the
Football League during October 1919.
Moving on to Darlington in 1924, Harry
subsequently played for both Durham City and
Hartlepools United before returning to the Quakers
in 1928 for another year.
Returning to work in the fishing industry,
Harrison passed away in October 1975.
1934 Death of Jimmy Lawrence, 49.
(1904-22)
United's all-time record appearance maker passed away in his
native Glasgow.
1950 Thomas Brooks Craig
born, Penilee, Glasgow. (1974-78)
Scottish international midfielder who was spotted playing for
Aberdeen by Sheffield Wednesday, who paid what was then a record £100K fee
for a teenager to bring him to Hillsborough in 1969.
The same fee took Tommy on to Tyneside in 1974, his debut coming against
Carlisle on Boxing Day and a first goal for the club against Spurs a month
later.
A stylish midfielder, Craig played in the 1976 League Cup Final loss at
Wembley to Manchester City and won his only senior international cap later
that year in a friendly win over Switzerland at Hampden Park.
Transferred to Aston Villa during our relegation season, later moves took him
on to Swansea City, Carlisle United and Hibernian.
Craig began his coaching career at Easter Road in 1985 as assistant to former
Magpie John Blackley, later moving on to work as David Hay's number two at
Celtic.
A return to Pittodrie came with Roy Aitken before becoming Scotland U21 boss
and overseeing other SFA coaching courses.
1998 saw him back at SJP, appointed by Kenny Dalglish (whom Craig had played
alongside for Scotland schoolboys).
He remained there until 2006, mostly working as reserve team
coach but also briefly filling in as caretaker manager between Dalglish's
departure and Ruud Gullit's arrival.
Following his departure from Newcastle, Craig teamed up with John Collins at
Hibernian, but his second stint there ended with him following Collins out
of the door - having succeeded him briefly as caretaker boss.
The pair then pitched up at Belgians Sporting Charleroi in late 2008, although
they were only in charge until the end of the season.
On his 59th birthday in 2009, Tommy was confirmed as the new boss of Charleroi
- also known as the Zebras, due to their black and white striped shirts.
That lasted barely six months though before he was dismissed, later returning
to football as the assistant boss of St. Mirren.
When Danny Lennon left in May 2014, Craig was made manager
but had been replaced by Gary Teale before Christmas after just three wins
in 19 games.
1968 Mark Robinson born, Manchester.
(1993-94)
Right back who arriving from Barnsley at a cost of £450K in
March 1993 as part of Kevin Keegan's squad strengthening
programme, as promotion to the Premiership began to look
inevitable that season.
While his fellow new arrivals Scott Sellars and Andy Cole
both had injury problems of their own, Robbo however saw his
own hopes of making an impact on Tyneside disappear in a
pre-season match at Hartlepool in July 1993.
A tackle from 'Pools defender Ian McGuckin left the
Newcastle player with a badly broken leg that placed his
career in jeopardy.
And while Robbo returned to play for the club in January
1994, he was never the same again and had crucially lost his
pace.
Newcastle actually made a profit when Swindon paid £600K for
Robinson in July 1994 and he went on to be a good servant at
the County Ground until a hernia problem forced him to give
up full-time football in 2002.
Dropping down to non-league, he played for Chippenham Town
before finally retiring.
1976 Sam Aiston born, Newcastle.
(1994-95)
Winger who came through United's junior and reserve
ranks but never made it to the first team before his
release.
A five year spell at the mackems followed, during which
time he also found himself out on loan at various times
to Chester City, Stoke City and Shrewsbury Town.
The Shrews signed Sam on a free transfer when his
contract expired in 2000 and he went on to make over 180
appearances for them, settling in Shropshire.
Later moves saw him feature for Tranmere Rovers,
Northampton Town, Burton Albion, Wrexham (for whom he's
pictured above) Stafford Rangers, Hednesford Town and
Gainsborough Trinity.
Later training as a primary school teacher, Sam
returned to take up a post at his former Shrewsbury
stamping ground.
1982 Jonathan Mann born, Blyth.
(1998-2001)
Forward signed on pro forms during the reign of Kenny
Dalglish, who played alongside Michael Chopra at Academy
level.
Following his release by Newcastle, Jonny had trials at
Bournemouth, Darlington and an unidentified team in
South Korea.
He played for Bishop Auckland and Bedlington Terriers,
returning to his boyhood club Blyth Town and worked at
the Alcan aluminium plant.
1995 Jamie Sterry born, Newcastle.
(2012-20)
 Right
back who featured in the 2012 Milk Cup Tournament in
Northern Ireland and debuted at U18 level in a 1-0 home win
over Stoke City that September.
Sterry's reserve bow came against Reading in January 2013,
but he lasted only 15 minutes before being shown a straight
red.
Fitness problems affected his availability the following
season but he was promoted to the senior ranks in March
2015, signing his first professional contract.
Named on the bench various times, Jamie's
first taste of senior football came in the 5-1 home win
over Spurs in May 2016 that followed
Newcastle's relegation.
Completing his first 90 minutes in a 2-0 home win
over Cheltenham Town in the League Cup,
Sterry signed a new four year deal.
Loaned to League One Coventry City, a string of notable
displays included scoring in the FA Cup against Morecambe.
Returning to SJP to play in the Championship, groin
issues saw him restricted to Cup outings and loans to Crewe
Alexandra followed in both 2018 and 2019.
The arrival of Steve Bruce in
2019 saw Sterry feature in pre-season but fail to make any
further appearances before being released.
Joining South Shields and improving his match fitness he
moved to Hartlepool United in December 2020 - helping them to
gain promotion to League Two via the playoffs.
Remaining at Pools until they were relegated to the National
League in April 2023 he joined League Two Doncaster
Rovers, extended his contract in 2025.

What Else?

1896
Leith Athletic (Scotland) (a)
2-1
(1-1)
Friendly
Aitken(1-1),
Smellie(2-1)
Drummond(0-1)
1,200
United's friendly opponents were at that time members of
the Scottish Second Division and played at Beechwood
Park, in the Eastern suburbs of Edinburgh.
Team:
Watts, White, Foyers, Miller, Adam, Stott, Lennox,
Connell, Smellie, Aitken, Wardrope.
1903 Liverpool (a)
0-1
(0-0)
Division One
Morris
9,000
What was described as "a shot of terrific pace"
from William Morris in front of what later became the Kop
condemned United to a seventh league and cup defeat on the
occasion of their eighth Anfield visit.
1908 Aston Villa (h)
0-2
(0-1)
Division One
Wallace(44), Reeves(69)
30,000
After seven successive victories at Gallowgate, United
dropped their first home points and could have been
beaten by a greater margin.
Despite sitting third in the table though, the
Newcastle Daily Chronicle
were noticeably unimpressed and suggested that:
"There has really been nothing of any merit in the
doings of the Magpies this season and for this state of
affairs the forward line is wholly responsible."
1914 Oldham Athletic
(h)
1-2
(1-0)
Division One
Hudspeth (41pen)
Donnachie(70), Pilkington(88)
12,000
Despite enjoying an interval lead, United extended
their winless streak to four games, as Oldham were
successful on Tyneside for the first time.
1925 Cardiff City (a)
0-0
(0-0)
Division One
25,000
After four defeats in four visits to Ninian Park
without scoring, Newcastle at least took a point from
their longest trip of the season.
Making a six hour train journey to London a day earlier
and staying over, they arrived in Cardiff at Noon on
matchday for a 2.30pm start.
Retracing their footsteps after the game, they finally
returned to Tyneside on Sunday afternoon - a round trip
of 810 miles.
And within two months they did it all again - the FA Cup
draw sending them back to Cardiff.
1931 West Bromwich
Albion (h)
5-1
(3-0)
Division One
Boyd(10), J.R.Richardson(23,51),
Weaver(31), Allen(81)
Glidden(75)
36,000
Clad in all white, the Throstles conceded five goals
at Gallowgate for the second successive season.
1936 Fulham (a)
4-3
(3-1)
Division Two
Rogers(16,63), Pearson(36), Smith(18)
Smith(32),
Keeping(67pen), Finch(88)
23,508
United won by the odd
goal in seven at Craven Cottage, but the margin of victory
could have been more had Fulham 'keeper Alf Tootill not "displayed
wonderful coolness in the face of a relentless
bombardment", as one reporter wrote.
Victory on the banks of
the Thames brought the Magpies their fifth success in eight
away league games that season.
1942 Middlesbrough (h)
3-0 (3-0)
Wartime
Gordon, Stubbins, Carr
6,459
 1953
Portsmouth (h)
1-1 (1-0)
Division One
Milburn(38)
Harris(85)
48,853
Some late defensive laxity left
United with just three home wins from ten games at Gallowgate that
season, a significant factor in their lowly position of fifteenth in
the table.
 1959
Blackburn Rovers (h)
3-1
(2-0)

Newcastle won successive home games for the first time
that season and after grabbing a hat trick in an 8-2 win
over Everton, Len White was at it again.
The Journal's Ken McKenzie summed up this game as a
"rampant, roaring blood-tingler."

Spurs hadn't lost in their last 14 league and cup
games, but after David Craig's memorable strike put the visitors ahead, United
should perhaps have won by a greater margin.

Division Two
Brown(1,36), Varadi(89)

A week after Alan Brown and Imre
Varadi destroyed Charlton Athletic, United's rapid front
duo similarly led the Hatters a merry dance and two Varadi
crosses were finished by loan signing Brown - the first
after just 45 seconds.
Second half goals from Mal Donaghy and David Moss,
together with Brown limping off injured appeared to have
blown it, but a late strike from Varadi sent the crowd
berserk as Luton's season long unbeaten away record ended.
Brown later said "I heard the cheers as I came back
down the tunnel and when I saw the crowd on the pitch, I
knew we'd won it.'

Winless in their last seven outings, second tier
United lost but at least gave a decent account of
themselves against top-flight opposition at the City
Ground.
Forest included a trio of future Magpies in their starting XI - namely Stuart Pearce, Terry Wilson and
Franz Carr.

Peacock(51), Lee(57)

Newcastle's first home win in three attempts was aided
by two moments of madness by Gerard Lavin.
The young Hornet was dismissed for two bookable offences
during first half time added on: kicking the ball away
and then encroaching before a free kick
was taken.
Constant Magpie pressure then brought a breakthrough
when Gavin Peacock knocked home Paul Bracewell's shot.
Robert Lee then scored his first league goal for United,
driving home the rebound after Perry Suckling had
blocked Peacock's penalty.

A demolition of the Reds by Andy Cole, who beat a
bemused Bruce Grobelaar three times from three identical
left wing crosses at the Gallowgate End in the opening
half hour.
Footage of this match was later shown in court as the
goalkeeper and his accomplices stood accused of match
rigging.
What was never questioned was the collective complicity
that would have been required for a side including
future Magpies John Barnes and Ian Rush to be so poor in
the first 45.

Midfielder Jermaine Jenas signed a new five year deal to
keep him at SJP until 2008.
The 20 year-old commented:
"Moving to Newcastle United 18 months ago has
proved to be a terrific career move for me. This is a fantastic club and a
marvellous place to play your football.
"I hope over the next
five years, we can build on our success over the last
two seasons and I am looking forward to being involved
with a strong and successful team.
"Also, I would like to
thank the fans, who have given me fantastic support
since I joined the club."

A third loss to the Foxes in 2015 saw Newcastle
again fail to score and never seriously threaten to upset City's
onward progress.
Jamie Vardy grabbed the headlines by scoring in a tenth consecutive
game as a City side including old boy Danny Simpson excelled in all
areas - in stark contrast to our rotten lot.

The U23s extended
their unbeaten run to four games but were held 1-1 by
West Bromwich Albion at Whitley Park.
Taking advantage of the over-age player rule, Massadio Haidara, Daryl Murphy and Achraf Lazaar all made
their reserve bows - Murphy giving United a first half
lead.

Frank Lampard's pink-clad Blues side eased
to victory at Gallowgate, Karl Darlow twice called into
action before conceding an early opener when Federico
Fernandez touched in a corner.
This deserved reverse prompted us to conclude that: "Bruce's side are providing the most
persuasive possible argument for the club takeover by the Saudis going through.
"Unpalatable to some, that increasingly
looks like being the only antidote to cure this malaise."
