Newcastle U21s 3 mackem U21s 2
Pointless after their first three PL2 matches, Newcastle U21s
rose to the occasion on Monday night, twice coming from behind to
win in front of over 5,000 fans at St.James' Park - the largest home
reserve crowd in over 20 years.
Playing at Gallowgate for the first time in 18 months, the hosts twice
cancelled out goals from the pink-clad mackems with eye-catching
efforts of their own, before a memorable and well-celebrated
clincher in the closing stages.
United, made and missed a quartet of presentable chances in the
first half hour, goalkeeper Isaac Allen equal to a pair of shots on
target from Johnny Emerson, while Afner Ca and Matheos Ferreira both
missed the target when well placed.
The visitors then caught Newcastle with a sucker punch eight minutes
before the interval; a soft free kick award allowing Tom Proctor to
centre from the right and Trey Samuel-Ogunsuyi to glance a header
home.
Emerson's powerful shot rebounded back off the woodwork on 43
minutes before United made a breakthrough after 58 minutes when Kyran
Thompson ran half the length of the field to confidently fire
past Allen.
However the black and whites fell behind again just five minutes
later when Felix Scott emphatically beat Roman Dowell.
Seung-soo had only been on the field for three minutes when
he entered the left hand of the box and smashed a 70th minute drive into the far
corner of the Gallowgate net.
United then went in front for the first time in the 85th minute when
substitute Vakhtang Salia
headed Kyle Fitzgerald's cross from the right flank back
across goal.
And that's how it stayed; a clash between Seung-soo and Alex Lienard
in the final seconds of normal time prompting a mass confrontation
between the sides, bookings for the pair and almost 10 additional
minutes.
Bottom of the league at kick-off, victory saw Robbie Stockdale's
side rise four places up the table.

More capital gains
Crystal
Palace 0 Newcastle 2
Following wins at Spurs and Millwall this season,
Matthias Jaissle's side claimed another victory in London thanks to
a scintillating 15-minute second half spell on Sunday.
Arriving at Selhurst Park following 1-4 defeats in their previous
two away games, a much-changed United side rarely looked in danger
of conceding but created virtually nothing in what was an
incident-free opening period.
Things were rather more exciting following the interval, as incisive
attacking moves brought goals for Will Osula and Harvey Barnes,
book-ending a Joe Willock finish that was subsequently ruled out by
VAR due to a marginal offside.
Osula had opened the scoring here last season and tucked away Jacob
Murphy's right wing cross within three minutes of the restart,
before Willock was thwarted five minutes later after he ran on to
Joelinton's through ball and showed some welcome composure to fire
into the far corner.
That was chalked off but United continued their pursuit of a second
goal against a stunned Eagles side and after Barnes saw one effort
deflected wide, he tucked away a low ball across the box from Dedic
to replicate his Carabao Cup winner against West Bromwich Albion at
Gallowgate.
Dedic was one of five changes to the side beaten at home by Aston
Villa; Dan Burn, Fabian Schar, Murphy and Osula selected as Lewis
Miley, Sven Botman, Malick Thiaw, Mathias Fernandez-Pardo and Yoanne
Wissa were all omitted.
It looked like more would follow, with Joelinton and Barnes lashing
efforts over the bar and substitutes Wissa and Anthony Elanga
threatening to hit Palace on the break.
There were also welcome appearances for fit-again Jacob Ramsey and
Sean Steur, while Lewis Hall led by example throughout and provided
much of our first half threat.
Lukas Hornicek earned only his second PL clean sheet at the other
end, making notable stops
at 2-0 to deny both Adam Wharton and Dario Osorio.
Shipping five goals without reply at Brighton the previous weekend
ahead of Thursdays energy-sapping 2-2 Europa League draw in Turkey,
the Eagles lacked any spark or flair as home followers looked on in
almost total silence.
Conceding two goals prompted just two replacements as our habitual
tormentor Jean-Philippe Mateta trudged off, but while Palace's
energy levels increased and they applied a measure of pressure on
our back line, their attempts at gaining a foothold in the game
remained unconvincing.
The full time whistle sounded amid boos from those home followers
who hadn't left early, leaving coach Pierre Sage the subject of
increased speculation over his own future.
His opposite number meanwhile beamed as he cuddled his coaches: in
the spotlight or positive reasons thanks to a team selection
vindicated and instructions that bore fruit long enough to outwit a
side that were there for the taking.
By no means a classic, an overdue first Selhurst success since Steve
Bruce's side won here behind closed doors in 2020 was greeted with
relief by those present.
This may not have been a must-win game, but taking three points was
unarguably timely in terms of preserving the credibility of the
coach and his players - something that had begun to come under
scrutiny following successive defeats.

Matthias Jaissle said:
"Today we went for more experience and leadership skills.
"It was a tough game especially in the first half. But the second
half was much better and we threatened the opposition more.
"If we are all together - this journey can be successful.
"In the first half we weren't bad out of possession, but we did not
have an offensive mindset. We had the handbrake on. In the second
half we moved and we deserved to win.
"It was a tough game,
especially in the first half. We couldn't get ourselves the reward
for the intensity we put in out of possession after the ball wins.
"In
the second half, it was much better. We were more target-orientated,
we threatened the opposition more and, therefore, I think when it
comes to the second half and that improvement.
"In the end, also that willingness to defend and to have that clean
sheet. It was a deserved win.”
On Will Osula:
"A striker's job, right?. He did an amazing job. We're happy that
he's getting back on track.
"He was out for a long time, so now physically, he's improving - and
he's a player with huge potential."

Carabao Cup:
Everton (a)
Newcastle are in Carabao Cup Fourth Round action on Thursday
against the Toffees at Hill Dickinson Stadium -
their second-ever visit, following a 4-1 Premier League success
there last season.
It's a 7.45pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports+. If
the scores are level after 90 minutes the tie will be settled on
penalties.
The Quarter-final draw takes place on Wednesday evening after 10pm,
meaning that Newcastle and Everton will know the identity of their
possible opponents before this tie.
The visitors will be backed by 7,732 fans - United's largest
away support since 7,800 were at Manchester City for the FA Cup
Sixth Round in March 2024 (excepting Wembley).
This will be only the second time that
these two sides have
met in the League Cup; the first seeing them share six goals at Gallowgate in
the Third
Round during 2002 before Everton advanced in the penalty shootout
that followed.
This pairing means that the Toffees and Magpies will face each other at
least four times this season: Everton winning a pre-season kickabout
3-1 at Murrayfield in August.
Following the Premier League home meeting in November, United return to merseyside
in the PL next February.

Bairns beaten by Boro
Boro U18s 3 Newcastle U18s 1
United's youngsters lost for only the second time this season on
Saturday, beaten by their Teesside counterparts at a blustery and
drizzly Hurworth.
The hosts went ahead on 24 minutes when good work down the left by
Joey Tremain saw him send over a low centre that was turned home by
Billy Linacre.
That lead was short-lived however; Chris Moore's side levelling in
the 31st minute when Jack Skelton's low left-footed strike from 25
yards out found the bottom corner.
Boro regained the advantage four minutes after half time; Alfie
Brown in the right place to force home Finlay Turner's cross from
the left at the back post.
United came close to levelling three minutes later when top scorer
Alfie Hutchison headed Skelton's cross off the bar, before Brown's
second of the game opened up a two goal lead for the home side on 57
minutes.
Second in the table on goal difference before kick-off to Manchester
City, a 5-1 success for the Citizens at Derby County then left the
Magpies trailing by three points.

On the buses
From NUFC, Monday Oct 19th:
Sunderland supporters attending the Tyne-Wear derby at St.
James’ Park on Sunday 6th December 2026 will be required to travel
to and from Wearside on official club coaches following a
recommendation by the stadium’s independent Safety Advisory Group
(SAG).
The recommendation follows advice from Northumbria Police to
the SAG, which is chaired by Newcastle City Council as the
Certifying Authority for St. James’ Park.
Both clubs were invited to attend a recent SAG meeting to hear
submissions made by Northumbria Police, and senior Newcastle United
staff have since met with senior officers from the force to better
understand the reasons behind the recommendation.
We know that the vast majority of fans from both clubs are
impeccably behaved and add a great deal to the occasion, and we also
acknowledge that this step has been taken as an additional measure
to ensure the safety of all supporters, staff, the authorities and
the wider public.
We will now work closely with Sunderland AFC, Northumbria
Police, Newcastle City Council and partner agencies to accommodate
this recommendation and to ensure the match is a safe experience for
everyone who attends.
This recommendation does not impact away supporter travel for
the return fixture at the Stadium of Light in May 2027, and any
relevant recommendations will be made by the local Safety Advisory
Group closer to that time.
From SAFC, Monday:
Following a decision by Newcastle’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG),
Sunderland AFC can confirm that supporters attending our PL away
fixture against Newcastle United will be required to travel by
organised coach.
Throughout this process, the Club has engaged with the
relevant authorities, setting out clearly our concerns about the
impact of a full bubble operation on Sunderland supporters,
particularly the restrictions on individual travel choices and the
additional inconvenience for supporters.
Whilst we do not agree with the decision that has been
reached, we recognise that this decision will disappoint many
supporters who would prefer to make their own travel arrangements.
While respecting the SAG’s decision, we have sought clarity on the
revised risk assessment and requested transparency as to how the end
decision has been made.
Sunderland AFC will receive an allocation of 2,200 tickets*.
* that's down from 2,528 last season, with the NUFC allocation
for the return game in 2025/26 matching that.
The Chronicle have since claimed that the allocation is actually
unchanged at 2,528 not 2,200 as SAFC wrote.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 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.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial 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 usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |
|
26th October |
|
Born Or Died:
1937 Peter Willis born,
Newfield, Bishop Auckland. (dates
tbc)
Better known as a Football League referee from
1971 to 1986 and remembered for the first FA Cup Final
dismissal (Kevin Moran of Manchester United in 1985),
Peter was a reserve goalkeeper for the Magpies.
Playing amateur football for Willington, Tow Law and
Langley Park, Willis joined the police force after
failing to win a professional contract at St. James'
Park.
First taking charge of a local game during 1963 (as he
was the only one with a whistle, he reckoned), Peter
then trained to be an official and debuted as a
linesman in senior football during 1968.
Officiating his final game in the Football League
during 1986, he then served as President of the
association until 2004 despite suffering
a stroke.
Undergoing a series of cancer operations during 2011
and 2012, Peter passed away in July 2021. He was 83.
1971 Steve Howey born, sunderland.
(1986-2000)
Variously known as "Pop" and "The Boy" during his time at SJP,
Steve began his Newcastle career as a striker in both the junior and reserve sides, playing his initial first team games in that
role.
Making his first team debut in the final game of the 1988/89 relegation season
away at Manchester United, he had to wait until the start of the 1990/91 season
for a second go.
However, he was less than prolific and after an initial suggestion by Ossie
Ardiles saw him drop back into midfield, Kevin Keegan then completed the
process of making him into a central defender.
That switch was to bring four full England caps between 1994 and 1996, with
only a freak injury ruling him out of the Euro 96 squad - Howey twisted his
ankle while on a run when he caught his foot in a rabbit hole.
Steve left SJP in August 2000, after ongoing fitness problems affected his
availability - Joe Royle's Manchester City paying £2m.
The transfer gave Howey's career a boost, making over 100 appearances and
scoring 11 goals, before being declared surplus to requirements by Kevin Keegan
in 2003.
Later moves took him on to Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers, but injuries
were taking their toll by then. An unsuccessful trial with Sheffield United led
to a stint in the USA with MLS side New England Revolution, but that soon
fizzled out.
A brief (one game) spell at Hartlepool United followed before Howey's boots
were temporarily hung up at the age of 33.
Since then he's twice been tempted into non -league management, with
unsuccessful stints at both Brandon United and Crook Town.
Less than a month before his 36th
birthday, Howey made a playing return with Northern League side Bishop
Auckland, linking up with
newly-reappointed boss Brian Honour.
However, that proved to be only a fleeting association and the ex-England
international returned to media work and an FA role as a referee's assessor.
1972 Death of Dave Fairhurst, 66.
(1929-46)
England international and member of the 1932 FA Cup-winning side, who defeated
Arsenal in the so-called "Over the Line" final - yes, they
were moaning even then....
1990 Henri Saivet born, Dakar, Senegal. (2016-21)
Newcastle's first arrival of the January 2016 window was this
defensive midfielder from French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.
Earmarked to replace Cheick Tiote (who ended up staying), the 25 year-old
Senegal international signed a five and a half year deal for a claimed £5m
fee.
Along with Yoan Gouffran, Saivet played for Bordeaux against United in the Europa League in 2012.
Paraded along with fellow new boy Jonjo Shelvey before a 3-3 home draw with
Manchester United, he debuted from the bench in a 2-1 win against West Ham at
SJP the following Saturday.
Appearing four times before Steve McClaren was sacked, Henri remained was never
selected by successor Rafa Benitez as United attempted to avoid relegation.
Following a season-long loan at St. Etienne, Saivet was named in the 25 man PL
squad, featuring in a League Cup loss to Nottingham Forest during August 2017.
An unexpected recall for the PL trip to West Ham that December saw him net a
fine free kick but he was dropped for the next game.
Loaned to Turkish side Sivasspor a month later following two FA Cup outings,
Henri stayed in Turkey for the 2018/19 season, loaned out to Bursaspor and also
playing for Senegal at the African Nations Cup Finals that summer.
That third loan period again failed to turn into a permanent exit and Saivet
found himself back on Tyneside but omitted from the squad inherited by Steve
Bruce.
A similar situation 12 months later saw him play in friendly matches ahead of
the 2020/21 season, but fail to win a place in the squad.
Henri finally departed from SJP when his contract expired in July 2021 - having
cost the club an estimated £12m in wages.
His final outing was an U23 game against Norwich City in March 2021 - over
three years after his eighth and final senior competitive appearance for the
Magpies.
Saivet then belatedly made a playing return for French Ligue 2 side Pau in
August 2022 before joining Clermont in June 2024. He then moved on to Ligue
3 side Caen.
Before opting to represent Senegal, He played for France U21s with fellow
Magpies Remy Cabella and Massadio Haidara.
1995 Yasin Ben El-Mhanni born, London. (2016-18)
United added this free agent
attacking midfielder to their U21 squad in July 2016.
London-born with Moroccan parents, Yasin attended the AG Football Academy and
played at youth level for Barnet and Aldershot.
Training with Watford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, he appeared for
non-league sides Farnborough and Lewes during the 2015/16 season and also
featured as a trialist for West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea.
El-Mhanni's Magpies bow came during a pre-season victory over Darlington and
his first reserves start was at Fulham just a couple of days before his 21st
birthday.
Netting for the first time in a 2-0 win over Boro at SJP during October
2016, a senior team debut came there three months later.
Yas was selected by Rafa Benitez with fellow rookies Stuart Findlay and Dan
Barlaser for United's 3-1 FA Cup Third Round home replay win over Birmingham
City and the awful 0-3 defeat at Oxford in the next round.
However, his fall from grace would be swift and noticeable; never picked
again for senior team duty and even struggling to get a regular start for the
U23s.
Allegations of bullying against Development Coach Peter Beardsley by El-Mhanni
saw his profile raised and led to a club review of off-field behaviour.
With Beardsley on gardening leave, United released Yas in June 2018 along with
a clutch of other reserve team players.
Following a trial at Brentford, he agreed a deal with League One Scunthorpe
United for the remainder of the season.
Despite netting on debut in a Checkatrade Trophy tie though, he failed to
secure a regular place in the side and left in 2020.
Resurfacing on trial at Southend United in July 2021, Yas joined Southern League
side Chesham United and then Harrow and Borough in February 2022.
Training with Reading in July 2022 before signing for Arbroath three months
later, he debuted for them in January 2023 but wasn't retained at the end of
the season.
El-Mhanni was spotted on trial at UAE Second Division side Rimal Al-Sahra in September
2026.

What Else?

1895 Newton Heath (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Division Two
P7, 9pts, 6th/16
og(Perrins)(15),
Wardrope(85),
Kennedy(1-1)
8,000
The forerunners
to the present day Manchester United would lose all four
visits to Tyneside - this their second trip to Gallowgate.
A Bob Foyers free kick was turned past his own 'keeper by
George Perrins but William Kennedy levelled shortly after
the interval.
The Magpies played with ten men for over an hour,
following the enforced withdrawal of James Logan due to
injury.
And revenge was gained for a 1-2 away loss to the Heathens
a week earlier when Willie Wardrope's third goal of the
season clinched victory late on.
The Shields Daily News reflected that, "the
better team won and they would have scored more had not
Newton Heath fouled so often in front of goal."
Different name, same cheats then....
1901 Notts County (h)
8-0 (5-0)
Division One
P9, 9pts, 7th/18
Peddie(1,14,26),
Orr(27,40,59,85),
Roberts(89)
12,000
Winless in three
matches since a 2-1 victory over the other Magpies at
Trent Bridge, United were ahead within a minute and Jock
Peddie had bagged a treble by the half hour mark.
Ronald Orr got in on the scoring act with four of his own
before Dick Roberts rounded the rout off.
1907 Blackburn Rovers
(h)
3-0 (0-0)
Division One
P10, 10pts, 9th/20
Rutherford(69), Howie(73), McClarence(79)

There was a debut for Dick Pudan, at left back, as
Newcastle collected the points thanks to a three goal
salvo in eleven second half minutes.
 1912

Division One
P10, 14pts, 3rd/20
Low(26,76),
McTavish(30,71),
Stewart(60,67)
10,000
A sensational win
came on a quagmire of a pitch at Goodison against a
weakened home side.
Despite completing a seasonal double over the Toffees with
a 2-0 success at SJP, United would end the season
languishing in fourteenth - three places behind Everton.
 1921
George Robey XI (h) 4-7 (3-4)
Friendly
Harris 2(1pen) Smailes, Russell
Buchan(2), Martin, Elliott(3), Robey
16,000
George Robey was a music hall comedian ("The
Prime Minister of Mirth") who first put together
a side to appear in a benefit match for the widow of
Chelsea coach Jimmy Miller in 1907.
The tradition continued subsequently and numerous benefit
matches were staged for charitable causes.
This meeting was billed as being for "The Newcastle
unemployed" and the visiting side was made up of
players from Sunderland, Middlesbrough and South Shields -
with Robey leading the attack.
The game came at some cost to United though, who lost both
Andy Smailes and Harris to injury - the former missing a
month and the latter not returning to the side until the
following April.
1929 Bolton Wanderers

2-3 (1-0)

Wayman(13,64,89)
Black(75), Westwood(82)
65,798
After the 13-0 victory over Newport County in their
previous home game, the SJP crowd was boosted by over
13,000.
They saw an entertaining game featuring a hat trick
from Charlie Wayman, who completed his treble in the final
minute of the second half.
Wayman had netted four times against Newport and would
emulate that when Sheffield Wednesday visited Tyneside two
Saturdays later.
 1957
Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)
1-1 (1-1)
Division One
P14, 11pts, 18th/22
Curry(17)
Deeley(2)
44,361
United's poor home form showed no signs of coming to
an end, with this their fifth winless game at SJP -
although taking a point from the league leaders was no
mean feat.
1960 United's Dick
Keith appeared for Northern Ireland as they lost 3-4 to
West Germany in a World Cup Qualifier, despite a hat trick
from McAdams of Bolton Wanderers.
 1963
Northampton Town (h) 2-3 (1-1)

Division One
P16, 14pts, 13th/22
Gibb(21)
Evans(23), Thompson(85)
45,323
United 'keeper Iam McFaul took the blame for allowing
a late winner to squirm through his hands, but he had kept
the home side at bay in a brilliant exhibition of shot
stopping. Bob Moncur broke his nose.
 1974
Leicester City (h)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P14, 15pts, 10th/22
Earle(84)

'Johnny come lately' Steve Earle won it for the
Foxes as United failed to score for the third game in

2nd Leg
Keegan(81)
Whatmore(19), Thomas(32)

A midweek trip to the Manor Ground - with a fence in
front of the away end that dwarfed the Berlin Wall.
Future Magpie Andy Thomas netted from a Kevin Brock pass
to give Jim Smith's side a 3-2 aggregate win, despite
being reduced to ten men when Gary Briggs was red carded.
And to add insult to injury, much-maligned former Toon
'keeper Steve Hardwick was between the posts for the home
side.

flank.

An enjoyable debut for Lee Payne as United recorded their
most comfortable win of a wretched season. Payne was soon
to depart, one of a number of fringe players Jim Smith
took an immediate dislike to.

One up at the interval through Lee Clark - one day
short of his 19th birthday - United were made to pay for
missing chances to extend their lead.
Having gained an assist for the goal, midfielder David
Roche was forced to move into defence after Alan Neilson
limped out of the action.
And when Gavin Peacock went off, which saw Andy Hunt drop
into midfield, City pushed on and were rewarded by a late
leveller from one- time Newcastle trialist, Bob Taylor.
Man of the match Tommy Wright made sure the Magpies
returned from Ashton Gate with a point though, after a
fine reflex stop to deny Wayne Allison from close range.

Steve Guppy will probably look back at his time at
United and wonder why he was never given any more than a
substitute appearance in this game to make his mark for
the club.
Keith Gillespie made an early appearance at SJP for the
visitors, as did Nicky Butt.

Goals from Steve Claridge and Emile Heskey won it for

winning run in the Premier League came to a juddering
halt.
City's Neil Lennon made a "hand jive" gesture at
the away fans - and would get his comeuppance via the boot
of Alan Shearer the following season....

Following his memorable winner against Juventus, Andy
Griffin found the Leazes End net for the second time in
four days, this one a sweetly-struck volley.
Laurent Robert then celebrated his 50th start for
Newcastle with his 11th goal - smashing the ball past Dean
Kiely to secure the win.
Shaun Bartlett had put the Addicks ahead, no doubt to
the delight of his three year-old son, Tyrique. Fast
forward 15 years and Bartlett junior was a Newcastle
player.

defeat to Bedlington Terriers.

substitutions by the Northern League side saw United fall
behind and trail 1-3.
And although the Magpies reduced the arrears in added time
through Guy Bates, Bedlington held on to win the tie.

Alan Shearer survived a vicious assault to thump United
into Round Four of the League Cup.
Former soldier, turned lower league clogger, Justin
Whittle, smashed his elbow into Shearer's face in the
first half of a tough encounter at Blundell Park.
Amazingly ref Mark Halsey waved play-on, despite
initially putting his whistle to his mouth. Big
Al gained his revenge, however, by smashing
the small-fry Mariners out of the cup with a stunning
left-footed strike.

United lodged an appeal following the dismissal of
defender Zurab Khizanishvili against Doncaster Rovers.
However, the appeal was not to dispute the actual red
card, but rather an automatic three game suspension for
violent conduct. As a result he was ineligible for the
trip to Bramall Lane.

The
14-match unbeaten run came to an end at Ewood Park but
only after a creditable fight back; two added time away
goals taking the tie to extra-time.
A Peter Lovenkrands equaliser seemingly taken the tie to
spot kicks, only for Rovers to win it in the final minute
of extra-time, as an offside-looking Gael Givet headed
past Tim Krul.
Referee Bobby Madley denied United at least three
penalties before his linesman gave one that Lovenkrands
converted.

After a very average first half in which Spurs could
have easily led by more than one goal, a double
substitution at the interval by Alan Pardew instantly came
off.
Sammy Ameobi broke his PL duck just six seconds after
arriving in place of Gabriel Obertan, before fellow
replacement Remy Cabella crossed for Ayoze Perez to nod
home his first Magpies goal.
