Beaten 1-6 at West Bromwich Albion a week earlier, Newcastle returned to winning ways, making it four victories from five games.

The Nottingham Post advised that the away side reached Newcastle by train at Midnight the previous evening and that "the morning was whiled away by an inspection of some of the sights the busy port of Tyne offers to its visitors, and by catching as much of the sea ozone as possible."

Taking in the air may have indeed helped Notts - who had lost 8-0 at Gallowgate the previous season.

Seeking a fourth successive victory at Burnden Park, the omens looked good for Newcastle when Tom Hall gave them an interval lead.

However things rapidly went awry in the second half, George Lillycrop chesting in an equaliser within seconds of the restart before the hosts netting twice more.

Filling in at centre forward for the injured George Pyke, Billy Hibbert notched the second hat trick of his Newcastle career almost eight years after the first.

He then hit another treble in United's next home game, against Bradford Park Avenue.  

There was a debut for Alex Ramsay, who would give way to Stan Seymour in the outside left role within a year.

After netting just once in our opening five away games, the early fumble by Peter Shilton that allowed a shot from Andy Thomas into the net was most welcome.

However, that lead was short-lived as Northern Ireland international striker Colin Clarke scored the first of his three goals.

A late winner for boyhood Gunners fan Barton settled it, a clearly overwhelmed Ferdinand ending the game standing in the centre circle, half wearing a Newcastle shirt, acknowledging applause from all four sides of the ground.

2006 A statement was released by the Football Federation Australia regarding Newcastle defender Craig Moore:

"Craig Moore has been suspended from the Qantas Socceroos squad for the match against Paraguay this coming weekend. Moore had not reported for training when the squad assembled in Brisbane."

Moore claimed a combination of sleeping pills and jet lag caused him to miss the flight. Other sources suggested that a day at the races (where his horse came second) then a night at the casino might have also contributed to it....

2007 From The Manchester Evening News:

Former Manchester City player Joey Barton appeared before Trafford Magistrates today accused of assaulting a team mate at the club's Carrington training complex.

The 25-year-old, now playing for Newcastle United, was dressed smartly in a blue suit during the brief hearing, which was adjourned until November 22 when Barton will re-appear at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing.

Barton, is charged with section 47 assault on Ousmane Dabo.

2009 SkySports continued their one-eyed coverage of the NUFC/Kevin Keegan litigation, as the club's former Executive Director (football) Dennis Wise appeared on punditry duties and spoke about his time at SJP. 

Wise had appeared in a similar role earlier in the week, backing Chris Hughton to be given the United job on a permanent basis. 

Interviewed by Richard Keys, Wise took the opportunity to repeat previous propaganda from the Ashley camp - as well as offer a counter view to the claims made in Kevin Keegan's post-verdict statement.

Most notably, Wise claimed that a settlement offer was made to KKahead of the tribunal:

"There was an offer put in by Mike I believe, and it was probably more than what Kevin got.....to settle it, yes....for more than the two million yes."

He also reinforced the line about the inflated sums that KK's legal team had sought:

"Mike was worried....when someone is suing you for £26m..."

And the "A" word almost inevitably made an appearance when Wise was asked what would have happened to his former employers had KK received a larger award:

"Maybe administration"

As for his own relations with KK, Wise ventured that:

"It was a difficult situation."

When Wise was asked for his opinion of what Mike Ashley's next move at SJP would be: 

"I think he will hold onto the club until they are promoted. I think they'll go up this year, I genuinely hope they do, then Mike will take a decision next summer."

2011 The Reserves made it four games without defeat from the start of the season by beating Bolton 3-0 at Leyland. A brace from Sylvain Marveaux and one from Sammy Ameobi decided the destination of the points.

Shola Ameobi's 13th European goal and an OG made for a comfortable half time lead and although Rob Elliot had to be replaced by Steve Harper, Papiss Cisse quickly volleyed in a third to put Newcastle top of Group D. 

Future Magpie Yoan Gouffran started for the visitors before making way for former mackem David Bellion.

2015 Under the inevitable headline of "Dick out" we reported the resignation of mackems boss Dick Advocaat.

Dick's departure meant that the red and whites again replaced their manager ahead of a derby - a stunt successfully pulled in April 2013 (Di Canio), October 2013 (Poyet) and March 2015 (Advocaat) - with all gaining their first wins by beating us.

Sadly, former Mag Sam Allardyce would become the fourth addition to that list.

2017 From ITV News:

Newcastle United have lost a High Court challenge over the seizure of documents by tax officials investigating the financial affairs of several football clubs.

St. James' Park and West Ham United's ground were raided in April by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as part of a probe into suspected income tax and National Insurance fraud.

Newcastle's managing director, Lee Charnley, whose home was also searched, was among a number of senior European football officials arrested and later released without charge.
