Internationals:
Asia Cup:
two away
In addition to the expected selection of
Newcastle midfielder Ki Sungyueng by South Korea for next
month's Asian Cup Finals, his club colleague Yoshinori Muto has also
been called up by Japan.
The 24 nation event runs from January 5th
until February 1st in the United Arab Emirates and as we've found with African
Cup of Nations selections, countries do often exercise their right to remove
players from their clubs a full fortnight beforehand.
It's claimed that Sungyueng could miss up to seven Premier League games and
potentially depart after the Fulham game on Saturday, but Japan appear to have
a different view - the official NUFC website reporting that Muto will be
available for club selection up until the visit of Manchester United on
January 2nd.
Sungyueng:
07.01.2019 South Korea v Philippines Dubai
11.01.2019 Kyrgyzstan v South Korea Al Ain
16.01.2019 South Korea v China Abu Dhabi
Muto:
09.01.2019 Japan v Turkmenistan Abu Dhabi

17.01.2019 Japan v Uzbekistan Al Ain
Premier
League:
TV changes
revealed
Delayed until after the Champions League draw took place on
Monday, the Premier League have now confirmed their February live TV
selections as follows:
Sat 02.02.2019 Spurs (a) 12.30pm Sky
Mon 11.02.2019 Wolves (a) 8pm Sky
The following games are unchanged:
Sat 23.02.2019 Huddersfield Town (h) 3pm
Wed 27.02.2019 Burnley (h) 7.45pm
Those two live games present yet more travel hurdles for away followers, with
rail engineering work over the weekend of the Spurs game extending journey
times significantly.
Yet another Monday live game meanwhile will further complicate life for some
fans - and mean that others simply cannot attend as real life intervenes.
Checkatrade
Trophy:
mackems (a)
ticket details
Tickets for Newcastle U21's Checkatrade Trophy
last 16 tie at the stadium of plight next month are now on sale to ST holders with
40 or
more loyalty points.
The tie is all ticket and Newcastle have received an allocation of
2,800 seats - 2,000 less than the away club are entitled to under competition
rules.
Note that away season tickets aren't in use for this fixture.
In an apparent attempt
to deter fans from attending, adult admission has been set for everyone at £15 (£5
for U16s/over-65s). The mackems claim that the increase is to cover their
security costs.
Admission to their home tie in the last round of same
competition earlier this month was just £3, while their FA Cup defeat by Walsall meanwhile
was £10.
It's a 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday January 8th 2019 and a result must be achieved on the night. If
the scores are level after 90 minutes then the tie will go straight to
penalties.
As a top-flight side, United will field their U21s with some scope to include
over age players. It's officially a first team game
for the third-tier mackems.
Last 16 draw:
North:
Rochdale v Manchester City U21s
mackems v Newcastle U21s
Accrington Stanley v Bury
Port Vale v Shrewsbury Town
South:

Loan
lads:
Aarons
Czechs out
Rolando Aarons (Slovan Liberec)
Saturday saw Slovan play out a 0-0 draw in Prague at Bohemians 1905 in the Czech
League. Aarons started and was replaced in the 90th minute for what was the final game of his loan spell there.
Aarons played 769 minutes across thirteen games for the mid-table side
(starting nine times) but failed to score a single goal.
The Czech League now closes down until February and 23 year-old winger
Rolando will return to SJP, where he's under contract until 2021 but was
unable to claim a first team squad place this season.
Dwight Gayle (West Bromwich Albion)
The
on-loan striker completed 90 minutes as Albion collected a 2-1 win at
promotion rivals Sheffield
United in the Championship on Friday.
Henri Saivet
(Bursaspor)
It finished scoreless away to Goztepe in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday,
Henri completing 88 minutes.
Dan
Barlaser/Luke Charman
(Accrington Stanley)
An uncomfortable afternoon for Accy at Roots Hall, beaten 0-3 by Southend
United in League One on Saturday. Dan played the full game but Luke wasn't
involved in the matchday squad at all.
Josef Yarney (Morecambe)
Things were little better at Sincil Bank in League Two on Saturday, as
Morecambe lost 1-3 to Lincoln City. Josef played the full game for the
Shrimps.
Jack Colback (Nottingham Forest)
It finished scoreless in the East Midlands derby on Monday night, Colback
supplying his usual 90 minutes and booking away at Derby in the Championship.
Premier
League:
Wembley or
White
Hart Lane - update
Update:
Sunday saw a test event at the new Spurs stadium, with 6,000 spectators
allowed inside for a look around. It's reported that away fans will be located
at pitchside in the North East Corner and get 3,000 seats.
Spurs confirm that they will use Wembley
Stadium for home games until at least Sunday January 13th, when they host Manchester United in the Premier League.
That fixture was provisionally scheduled to be the first played at their new stadium,
but further delays in the construction and commissioning of it mean that another
game will now be the inaugural one.
The next Spurs home game after that is a Wednesday evening meeting with Watford on
January 30th, although a weekend fixture seems favourite - which means it's more
likely to be the visit of Newcastle United on Saturday February 2nd at 12.30pm
(live on Sky).
A further progress report is scheduled for the week commencing Monday January
7th.
Takeover:
No news may
be good news....eventually
Update:
unverified claims circulated over the weekend that another bid with US
backing was being overseen by Garry Cook - former Manchester City CEO who was
also involved with Ashley when working for Nike.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United
CEO Peter Kenyon remains in discussions to acquire the club from Mike Ashley,
using finance reportedly provided by US based Rockefeller Financial
Management.
Claims of interest from other groups are unverified while financial consultants
representing Kenyon have been on Tyneside, although there's been a clear
reluctance to use the phrase "due diligence".
The £300m asking price that has been bandied around isn't fixed in terms of a
one-off payment and a form of down payment could be acceptable, given proof of
sufficient funds.
However the chances of a successful conclusion before the end of the January
transfer window are lessening by the way, leading to further uncertainty over
what - if any - budget Rafa has to work with.
PS: Fresh claims of agreement deal for the Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almiron have
again been rubbished by the MLS
side's President, although it appears that contact is ongoing with NUFC.

RB MOTM
Friday saw Newcastle United
manager Rafa Benitez named the PL manager of the month for November,
claiming the award for the seventh time after three consecutive wins during
that month.
Five managers have won more than Rafa's haul of seven, but none of them
are currently in post: Martin O'Neill (8), Harry Redknapp (8), David Moyes
(10), Arsene Wenger (15) and Sir Alex Ferguson (27).
The last current Magpies boss to win the award was Alan Pardew in November
2014 while Rafa's previous success was as Chelsea manager
back in April 2013.
NUFC PL MOTM winners:
Kevin Keegan: (5) Nov 1993, Aug 1994, Feb 1995, Aug 1995, Sep 1995

Internationals:
Sorensen
steps up
Reserve striker Elias Sorensen has been called up to
Denmark's U21 side - his first selection at that level.
The 20 year-old has previously represented his nation at both U17 and U19
level and is in the U21 party for two friendly games in Mexico next month.
Hopefully Sorensen will still be available to face the mackems in the
Checkatrade Trophy on January 8th, with the Danish tour listed as running from
the 10th until the 20th.
The two games give Elias an opportunity to force his way into the squad for
the European Championship Finals staged in June 2019. Denmark U21s are in the
same group as Germany, Serbia and Austria for the 12 nation tournament staged
in Italy.
The in-form striker is out of contract at the end of this season and an
initial offer was rebuffed, although he's said to be happy to remain on
Tyneside.
A similar situation saw his reserve colleague Sean Longstaff put pen to paper
on a new four year deal recently, having rejected the original terms offered.

Born Or Died:
1922
Ivor Broadis born, Poplar, Isle of Dogs. (1953-55)
An England international forward with 14
caps, Ivor played in the 1954 World Cup finals as a Magpie,
having first made his name during the war guesting for Spurs,
Millwall and Carlisle while a serving officer in the RAF.
He became Carlisle boss after the war and sold himself to the mackems
in 1949 for £18,000 claiming that it was in the best financial
interests of the club that he leave.
Next port of call was Manchester City in October 1951, for £25,000,
then on to the Toon in 1953 for £20,000 where he didn't appear in the
1955 FA Cup final team and returned to Carlisle a matter of weeks
later.
Broadis ended his career over the border for Queen of the South, before
pursuing a career as football journalist for many years.
1955 Mickey Barker born, Bishop Auckland. (1972-79)
Left back who made his debut in 1-0 victory at West Ham in April 1975
- the first of 29 first team outings (including two as sub).
Moving on to Gillingham in 1979, Mickey returned to
the region the following year with non-league sides Ferryhill & Bishop Auckland.
A move to Hartlepool United followed in 1982, following a spell playing out in
the USA and Mickey ended his career with Bishops, also running a pub in the town.
 1959 Kevin Dillon born,
s*nderland.
(1989-91)
Midfielder who began his career as an apprentice at
Birmingham City and was handed his senior team debut in 1977 by then-Blues boss
Sir Alf Ramsey.
1983 saw him move on to Portsmouth, in whose colours he was dismissed at SJP
following a clash with Peter Jackson.
Brought to SJP by his former Fratton Park boss Jim Smith on a free and with
Mark McGhee and Mick Quinn shooting us into the
playoffs, Dillon occupied a midfield anchor role to good effect.
However he failed to find the net for United in 76 outings, with his
duck-breaking efforts resulting in some appalling misses - none worse than an
away game at Wolves when he contrived to shoot wide of an empty goal with no
home player in the same postcode.
The arrival of Ossie Ardiles in April 1991 saw the likes of Lee Clark, David Roche and Lee Makel
promoted from
the reserves and Dillon dropped before his contract was ended.
An unsuccessful trial with his
beloved mackems saw him appearing for their reserves in a friendly at
Blyth Spartans.
No deal was forthcoming however and his next port of call was Reading, playing
for the Elm Park side until 1994.
After playing and coaching at Stevenage Borough, he joined Yeovil Town
before returning to Reading in 1995 as a coach (and turning out for Fareham
Town in 1997).
Dillon took over as Reading's caretaker boss in the wake of the 2003 defection of Alan Pardew
from the Royals to West Ham. However, the Royals opted to overlook him and appoint Steve Coppell
instead, with
Dillon remaining at the Madejski as his number two until Coppell's
departure in summer 2009.
After spending some time scouting for Watford, Dillon become
the new boss of Aldershot Town in November 2009 but he and his assistant,
former mackem, Gary Owers, were sacked in January 2011.
Kevin later worked as a youth scout for the Scottish FA.

James(76)
19,000
Sealand Road's clarty pitch proved to be our
undoing, as Fourth Division City followed up their ousting
of Leeds United by knocking Newcastle out.
Frustrated by the acrobatic goalkeeping of Chester's
Grenville Millington, the winner came when a
corner wasn't cleared and City striker John James shot
through a crowd of bodies past the unsighted Iam McFaul.

range.

Keegan due to injury. Liverpool loanee Howard Gayle
deputised for him once again.

Zealander who moved to England to become a professional
footballer.
After over a decade playing back in
Australia and New Zealand, Zorro made a brief return to
these shores at the start of the 2003/04 season, training with Mansfield
Town but failing to secure a playing deal.

Future Magpies centre half Andy O'Brien helped
the Bantams contain our twin strikeforce of Messrs Shearer and Ferguson with
ease - a display which may have led to his arrival at SJP in 2001.
However, the Valley Parade ballboys were more impressive than a United side whose
greatest effort on the day was getting off the team coach.

match report
 2000
Liverpool's seemingly endless supply of venues for reserve
games saw the Magpies visit the Knowsley Road home of St.
Helens Rugby League team.
And on a chilly night when Shola Ameobi netted in a 1-1
draw, the debut display of Olivier Bernard caused us to
comment that he had shown "undoubted
potential".

Conceding once but being battered, Ray Parlour's dismissal just before
the half-time break gave United some hope.
Craig Bellamy then walked for allegedly
striking cheat Ashley Cole in the face (later rescinded)
before
Andy O'Brien equalised.
Alan Shearer then converted a penalty and Laurent Robert strode
clear to secure United's first capital win for over five years
- an amazing night that also saw us top the table.
Uri Geller later claimed credit for it all....

match report
Bellamy goes
quietly....
2010 Newcastle's Premier
League game at Birmingham City was called off just three
hours before kick-off.
The decision was made shortly before noon when match referee Mike Jones
made a pitch inspection, but poor conditions in the vicinity of the ground affected the
judgment.
The playing surface and the areas in and around the stadium weren't too bad
but players, officials and supporters were struggling to get to St. Andrew's, including Blues manager Alex McLeish.
