We must stop beating like this...
For the second time in four days,
United conjured up an improbable conclusion to a game, putting
their fans through agony before somehow finding a way to win once again.
Good luck to anyone attempting dry January with this lot...
Despite a brace from Harvey Barnes and a late penalty conversion by
Anthony Gordon, Eddie Howe's side were reliant on an inspirational
display from Aaron Ramsdale, who saved three spot kicks in a
penalty shootout triumph.
A scoreless opening 45 minutes gave little clue as to what lay in
store, before the deadlock was broken by who else but Barnes,
latching on to Nick Woltemade's through ball and confidently firing
home in the 50th minute.
That spurred the visitors into action and Evanilson twice came close
to levelling as United conceded territory too easily - Ramsdale
denying the Brazilian once and then deflecting a shot into his path,
only for an offside flag to preserve the home side's advantage.
Sven Botman then rattled the Bournemouth crossbar from Lewis Hall's
right wing corner, but the Cherries drew level when Alex Scott
tapped home Evanilson's pass.
David Brooks then out paced Kieran Trippier before curling a 20 yard
shot beyond former Cherries team mate Ramsdale in the 68th
minute to put Andoni Iraola's side ahead.
That lead lasted until the fifth minute of second half added time,
when visiting goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic sent Sandro Tonali
tumbling in the box and Gordon obliged from 12 yards to send the tie
into extra time.
Barnes then looked to have won it for the Magpies with an even later
goal than the one that accounted for Leeds - heading home Gordon's
perfect centre towards the back post with 118
minutes showing on the clock.
However, there were to be further twists to this Toon tale,
beginning near the end of two additional minutes when Marcus Tavernier somehow
got past Sven Botman before tucking the ball away amid general incredulity.
There was one last opportunity for United to clinch victory as
Barnes laid a tempting ball across the box from the right into the
path of Gordon - who somehow avoided contact with the goal at his
mercy and another epic 4-3 looming.
The tie then moved on to penalties at the Leazes End; Gordon giving
his side a positive start, only for Woltemade to hit
the bar and Petrovic outwit Bruno Guimaraes, following another one
of his trademark
stuttering run-ups.
Ramsdale had denied Evanilson between those two home misses and the
recalled United custodian went on to save from Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite
as the shootout extended to nine spot kicks for each side.
Victory came at some cost to the black and whites; Tino
Livramento limping off early in the second half with a hamstring
problem and unwanted extra pitch time for the likes of Botman ahead of
Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash.
Our Carabao foes Manchester City enjoyed a rather easier passage to
the next round of the FA Cup: nine different players on target in a
10-1 home defeat of Exeter City.
Goalscorers included debutant Antoine Semenyo but not Erling
Haaland, despite the Norwegian playing 45 minutes.
Eddie Howe's side take their place in the Fourth Round draw,
staged before the Liverpool versus Barnsley Third Round tie
kicks off at 7.45pm on Monday.
Fourth Round ties are played on and around February 14th.

Eddie Howe said:
"A really great cup tie, I thought. Two teams going for the
win. Again, a very open game, similar to Leeds, in the respect that
I think we've had a right go today.
"The players have worked far harder than we wanted them to, with
extra time, especially with Tuesday in mind, but the priority was to
try and get through and sustain the competition, and we've managed
that, so we're very pleased.
"Now we've got to count the cost of it, really, and try and regroup
and try and get the players fresh for Tuesday (against
Manchester City in the Carabao Cup).
"The one thing we didn’t want was extra time. We were well aware of
that before the game, but we’re 2-1 down with a couple of minutes
left. So at that moment, we wanted extra time. We wanted to stay in
the competition.
"So we knew as soon as we scored that goal that there was going to
be an extra burden on the players.
"We haven’t scored enough
late goals. You know, our numbers aren’t too bad actually and we’re
increasing them rapidly so that’s good to see.
"And
I think that feeling that you’re never out a game, would we have
come back today if we hadn’t come back against Leeds? I don’t know,
maybe not.
"Maybe there’s extra belief because we have scored late goals and
then we do it again today. So maybe that helps us, and I believe
those things truly are linked.
"So I’m pleased the fact we’ve come back, I’m pleased we’ve got
through a penalty shootout, again, psychologically that can be
really helpful for the group.
"I’m
pleased for Rammers (Ramsdale), pleased for the whole squad,
pleased for those that took penalties and those that missed will
just add to our experience.”
On Harvey Barnes:
"It’s a brilliant return from someone who has always had the ability
to score, always been a very, very good finisher – we see that in
training consistently. It’s just great to see him getting the
rewards on a game day.
"His two goals today were excellent and really pleasing for me
because one comes off one side, one comes off the other, so he’s
showing versatility.
On Tino Livramento:
"(It)
looks like a
hamstring problem, which is always a worry when it's a muscular
problem. Absolutely devastated for him because he's worked so hard
to come back and looked in really good physical shape.
"I'm
not too sure on any other details other than that, but it's going to
be a blow. He's obviously going to be out for a period of time.”
On starting with Wissa and
Woltemade together:
"It was OK. There were
some good bits and bits that weren’t maybe so good. I wanted to do
it in a game that would tactically benefit us.
"I
wanted the option to go to it, I don’t see this being a regular
system… but who knows.”
On his selection policy:
"We have taken the right stance so far, but will assess it on a
day-by-day basis.
"Obviously, one area we did not
want to lose players was defensively and we have lost two in quick
succession.
"Let's see, we discuss things on
a daily basis, and we will try to make the right decision.
"I think we need players to play games. We need enough cover. Today,
unfortunately, we put a couple of the players at risk just with
extra time.
"That is every player on the
pitch the risk gets higher in extra time the more you play. We'd
love to have enough bodies to lessen that risk but at the moment we
don't have the options."
Update:
Matt Targett was in the Boro side
beaten by Fulham in the FA Cup on Saturday, but under the latest
rule change would be eligible to play for Newcastle in that competition were he to be
recalled from his loan spell.
(Thanks to everyone who emailed in regarding this).
Stats:

Departure:
Lawrence stands down
Following Friday's 0-1 home loss to Boro in PL2,
Newcastle confirmed on Sunday morning that U21 Lead Coach
Adam Lawrence had left the club with immediate effect.
The former Manchester United U18 Coach was appointed in
succession to Diarmuid O'Carroll back in August, overseeing
two victories in six league outings but watching his side
fail to score in any of their last six games in all
competitions.
Robbie Stockdale will take charge of the U21s until further
notice, starting with Tuesday's Premier League International
Cup tie against Benfica.
Stockdale arrived on Tyneside in February 2025 as assistant
to O'Carroll, briefly acting as interim coach following his
exit and then working as Lawrence's number two.

Bairns take Ben
Scottish Premiership side Falkirk have completed the
permanent signing of Newcastle reserve forward Ben
Parkinson for an undisclosed figure.
The 20 year-old has signed a two and a half year contract
and made his debut on Saturday from the bench in a 2-0
victory at St.Mirren.
England youth international "Parky" came through United's
academy to make his reserve bow in 2022. Several senior
friendly appearances were then followed by what was his sole
first team outing - coming off the bench in a 0-2 Premier
League loss at Bournemouth in November 2023
An ankle issue restricted his availability for last season
but he ended as U21s top scorer with 12 in all competitions.
A broken bone in his foot then blighted the current campaign
for Ben, delayed his involvement until last November.
PLIC:
U21s Benfica (h) change
The kick-off time of Newcastle's closing Premier League
International Cup fixture has been altered, with

The Magpies are in Carabao Cup Semi-final first leg
action on Tuesday, against Manchester
City.
It's an 8pm kick-off at SJP live on ITV1 and Sky
Sports.
The Citizens were allocated 4,893 places but look to have
returned an unspecified number.
Football Bobbles will have a
stall outside the Trent House from 5pm. Card payments accepted.
Both sides entered in the Third Round of this season's
competition as a consequence of their Champions League
involvement.
Eddie
Howe's side have defeated Bradford City (4-1), Spurs (2-0)
and Fulham (2-1) on Tyneside as they attempt to defend the
trophy they lifted at Wembley last March.
Pep Guardiola meanwhile oversaw away wins at Huddersfield
Town (2-0) and Swansea City (3-1) before seeing off
Brentford (2-0) at the Etihad Stadium.
Two goals from Harvey Barnes gave the Magpies a 2-1 success
over City in the PL at SJP back in November.
Team: Tino Livramentro is the latest addition to a sick
list already including Fabian Schar, William Osula, Emil
Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles.
Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy are both doubtful, while

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

On This Day in History |
|
11th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1925
Jimmy Scoular
born, Livingston, Scotland.(1953-61)
The last player to lift the FA
Cup as Magpies captain, Wing half Scoular won two First Division titles with Portsmouth
before joining United in June 1953, at a cost of £22,250.
His Pompey association followed a wartime posting with HMS Dolphin as a
submarine engineer based at Gosport. Before his navy service, Jimmy had
played for Alloa Athletic, Stenhousemuir and Leith Athletic.
Known as a fearsome tackler and according to some reports a little too brusque
for the comfort of Pompey's Board, Scoular had received some stick from
Newcastle fans in games against the Magpies.
However, he came to be well regarded at St. James' Park and assumed the captaincy
- although failing to add to his previous total of nine full caps for Scotland.
Jimmy remained at SJP until 1961, when at the age of 36 he was installed as
player -manager of Bradford Park Avenue and led them to promotion from Division
Four.
1964 saw him appointed Cardiff City boss - a position he held until 1973 -
despite enduring a run of twelve winless games following his arrival at Ninian
Park. He's remembered for leading the Bluebirds to the semi-finals of the
European Cup Winners Cup in 1968 (losing out to SV Hamburg).
Later spells scouting for Aston Villa and Wolves were followed by a brief return to
management with Newport County in 1976.
Subsequently scouting for both Newcastle and
Swansea City, Jimmy stayed in Cardiff, working as a salesman for a chemical firm
and running a guest house in the city.
He passed away in March 1998.
1973
Lee Makel born, Washington.
(1990-92)
Mackem-supporting midfielder given his first team debut by Ossie Ardiles at the
end of the 1990/91 season, coming off the bench during a 1-1 draw at West
Bromwich Albion.
Appearing for an ailing Magpies side the following season, Makel finished
on the winning side just once and netted against Port Vale when he made what
was to be his final appearance, in the 0-4 New Years Day hammering at Southend
United.
Within a month Ardiles was gone and Makel failed to play a game for Kevin Keegan,
sealing his SJP fate when making unrealistic demands for a new contract at the
end of that season.
Kenny Dalglish paid £160K to sign him for Blackburn Rovers, but Makel only
managed six appearances in three years - including Charity Shield &
Champions League runouts.
Later moves took him on to Huddersfield Town, Hearts, Motherwell (trial) Portsmouth, Bradford City, Livingston, Plymouth
Argyle and Dunfermline.
After a second stint with Livingston, 2008 then saw Lee move to Sweden, joining
Ostersunds FK in a player/coaching role, before later becoming manager.
Returning to Scotland in 2011, Makel played for Cowdenbeath in
addition to developing a talent spotting school in the Scottish border region,
entitled Soccer's Next Star.
Becoming Cowdenbeath Assistant Manager, Lee subsequently took up Academy coaching roles
at Hibernian and Sheffield United.
By 2024 Makel had become part of the i2i coaching academy based near York.
 1996
Death of Bobby Cowell, 73. (1943-56)
Member of all three victorious 1950's FA Cup Final
teams.

What Else?
|
1896 Grimsby Town
(h)
1-5 (1-3)
Division Two
P18, 20pts, 7th/16
Collins(1-2)
Pratt(8), Higgins(10,65), McCairns(1-3), Fletcher(1-5)
5,000
After notching no less than 51 goals in 12
league and cup home wins from the start of the
season, Newcastle had their colours
unceremoniously lowered by the
Mariners.
The Hull Daily Mail reporter asserted that,
"All Grimsby was delighted, while the Northern
supporters were utterly dumbfounded at the
result".
1902 Stoke (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P19, 19pts, 12th/18
5,000
The home side had conceded seven goals
without reply at Liverpool a week before, but
were still able to extend Newcastle's winless
run to six league games.
1908
Nottingham Forest (h)
2-0 (0-0)
FA Cup 1st Round
Appleyard(63), Rutherford(83)
41,637
Both sides prepared for this FA Cup tie at
Redcar, described by the Nottingham Journal as a
"delightful north sea coast resort".
1913 Bradford
City (h)
1-0a (1-0)
FA Cup 1st Round
G.Wilson(5)
15,928
A combination of bad light and
falling snow saw this tie abandoned at half
time.
1919 Hartlepools United (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Wartime
18,000
1930 York City
(h)
1-1 (1-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Gallacher(43)
Gardner(65)
38,674
Ahead at half time, United were then pegged
back by the Third Divison North side, who were
backed by over 5,000 fans on a snowy Tyneside
afternoon.
Another 1,000+ crowd then gathered at York station
to welcome back the Minstermen.
 1936 Walsall
(a)
2-0 (2-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Connelly(1), J.Smith(21)
19,882
Eddie Connelly netted after just 30 seconds of
his debut at Fellows Park, as United extended
their 100% away record against the Saddlers to a
noteworthy five meetings.
 1947 Crystal
Palace (h)
6-2 (4-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Pearson(4), Shackleton(36,80),
Wayman(38), Bentley(39), Stobbart(65)
Naylor(63,86)
43,183
There was no Cup upset at SJP as the side from Division
Three South were duly dispatched - thanks in part
to a rapid scoring sequence of three goals in
just four minutes...
 1958
Birmingham City (h) 1-2 (0-0)
Division One
P26, 20pts, 17th/22
White(63)
Kinsey(64), Brown(77)
34,825
An eighth home defeat of the season from 13
games at Gallowgate followed the loss of Bob Stokoe to injury after an
hour.
Although Len White's seventh goal in four games immediately put
United ahead, City hit back to claim both points.
A mini pitch invasion in the 88th minute was prompted by the referee's
refusal to award penalties after two fouls on White, police
leading away two incensed fans.
 1964 Charlton
Athletic (a) 2-1 (2-0)
Division Two
P26, 27pts, 8th/22
McGarry(30), Thomas(32)
Matthews(56)
18,558
The Magpies showed no ill- effects from their FA Cup loss to Bedford Town
the previous week with a victory that extended their unbeaten record at the
Valley to an improbable eight visits.
1964 Bobby Cummings scored twice for Newcastle Reserves at home
to Preston North End but also missed from the penalty spot. It ended
2-2.
 1969 Leicester
City (a)
1-2 (0-2)
Division One
P26, 23pts, 15th/22
Robson(47)
Fern(33), Clarke(43)
21,673
Two behind at half time, Pop Robson's nineteenth goal of the season for
United in all
competitions wasn't enough to stop his side leaving Filbert Street
empty-handed.
The closing stages saw John McNamee move into the forward line alongside Wyn
Davies, but the Foxes held firm.
 1971
Ipswich Town (h)
1-1 (1-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Mitchell(42)
Mills(76)
32,150
Twice postponed due to the winter weather
conditions on Tyneside, this tie went ahead on a Monday evening.
Ian Mitchell's
only United goal looked to be enough to book
a place in the Fourth Round, away at either West
Bromwich Albion or Scunthorpe United.
However, Newcastle 'keeper Iam McFaul fumbled a
speculative effort from Mick Mills into his net to
consign his side to a replay in Suffolk that they lost 1-2.
 1975
Tottenham Hotspur (h) 2-5 (0-4)
Division One
P24, 26pts,
11th/22
Burns(55),T.Craig(79)
Conn(14,43,62), Knowles(28),
Duncan(41)
39,679
Alfie Conn marked his first team debut for
Spurs by hitting a hat trick during a bizarre game that was nothing like
the final scoreline suggested.
The Rangers forward had made the switch to White Hart Lane the previous
July, but injury and the replacement of Bill Nicholson as manager by
Terry Neill had left Conn waiting for a call-up from the reserves.
 1978
Peterborough United (h)
2-0 (0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round Replay
T.Craig(52pen), Blackhall(86)
26,837
After hanging on in the first game at London Road, there was to be no replay
upset as Newcastle made it three games unbeaten in 1978. Sadly they
failed to win another match in the entire season.
 1986
West Bromwich Albion (a) 1-1 (1-0)
Division One
P25, 36pts, 10th/22
Wharton(35)
Varadi(52)
9,106
A freezing afternoon at the Hawthorns saw a Baggies forward pair
composed of Toon old boys deny the Magpies a point.
Imre Varadi netted, while strike partner George Reilly had
just moved from SJP and was a handful for his
former team mates, seeing two efforts cleared off the line.
1986 Joe Allon's brace gave Newcastle reserves a 2-0 win over
Central League leaders Manchester United at Old Trafford.
 1992
Watford (a)
2-2 (1-2)
Division Two
P28, 29pts, 22nd/24
Kelly(23), Hunt(59)
Holdsworth(1), Porter(4pen)
9,811
The home team took just 40 seconds to
open the scoring and when goalkeeper Tommy
Wright conceded a penalty within three
minutes, a hammering seemed inevitable.
Gary
Porter converted that but the hosts then lost their way. Even so, David Kelly's goal was a major surprise to the crowd as well
as Waugh the Hornets 'keeper - who let it through his
legs.
A leveller from substitute Andy Hunt
could even have been followed by a winner, as
Watford faded badly, to the dismay of their
fans.

 1997
Aston Villa (a)
2-2
(1-2)
Premier League
P22, 38pts, 4th/20
Shearer(16), Clark(21)
Yorke(39), Milosevic(52)
39,339
Following Kevin
Keegan's abrupt resignation, Arthur Cox and Terry
McDermott took caretaker charge of United at Villa Park,
United went two up thanks to Alan Shearer's strike and Lee Clark's lob, the
latter after Mark Bosnich fell over and dropped the
ball at the Holte End.
Villa then struck twice to level the game before Shaka Hislop saved a 61st
minute penalty
and the rebound from childhood pal
Dwight Yorke to claim a point.
Alan
Shearer scores the opener
1997
Another day, another new name for the vacant
managers job -this time that of Ajax boss, Luis Van
Gaal.
1999 United's reserves were in Pontins League Cup action, beaten
1-2 at home to the smoggies. Temuri Ketsbaia got our goal.
 2003
West Ham (a)
2-2 (1-2)
Premiership
P22, 39pts, 4th/20
Bellamy(9), Jenas(81)
Cole(14), Defoe(45)
35,048
An odious ex-Leeds United player made the pre-game headlines
- and the cover of the match programme - before his home debut for
the club he'd allegedly supported as a boy.
It was a controversial deal, hard-up Leeds unable to get a
transfer fee for the midfielder and home fans protested outside the ground
over the move.
Toon fans inevitably took advantage of the situation and came up with one or two choice
ditties about him. Staying at the
Boleyn
until the
end of the season, he was unable prevent the
Hammers going down, before
jumping ship again - to SJP. His name? Lee David Bowyer.

Referee Paul Durkin was applauded for owning up
to an error in refusing Alan Shearer a penalty
after he was tripped by home 'keeper Tim Howard.
Unfortunately his
post-match confessional didn't help us, but at
least he ruled out a Silvestre effort many Old Trafford
-influenced whistlers would have given.
Rio Ferdinand was the
butt of taunts from Toon fans, as he began a nine month suspension for missing a drugs
test.

report
2011 United's appeal against the red card shown to Cheick Tiote
at Stevenage in the FA Cup Third Round defeat was
rejected by the FA
but not
deemed
frivolous, meaning that his three-match ban wasn't increased to four.
2015
The name firmly in the frame for Alan Pardew's SJP successor was ex-Lyon coach Remi Garde - if many of Sunday's newspapers were to be
believed.
2016 Newcastle confirmed the
signing of Henri Saivet from
French side Bordeaux.
The 25 year-old Senegal international midfielder arrived for an undisclosed fee that was claimed to be in the region of
£5m.
2016 Newcastle U21s returned
with a point after a 0-0 draw with Aston
Villa in PL2 at their adopted home of Walsall's Banks's Stadium.

Paul Dummett and Dwight Gayle
