Update:
Gordon: still awaiting Barca unveiling
Update: Gordon's unveiling as a Barcelona player on Friday is
yet to begin due to issues finalising paperwork. However there's no
threat to the deal going ahead reportedly.
Earlier: Anthony Gordon's declared desire to play at the top
level will be realised when he officially becomes a Barcelona player
for a £70m fee on Friday.
The 25 year-old was set to complete the formalities of his medical
on Thursday before joining the England squad on Monday. His
pre-contract agreement will be ratified when the transfer window opens on June 15th.
He's reportedly signed a five year deal at the Nou Camp.
Sky Sports relayed footage of Gordon leaving
Newcastle by private plane on Thursday morning, before Spanish media
recorded his arrival at El Prat airport.
He was then pictured in various locations in Barcelona,
including a medical facility and a city centre restaurant.
Barca Sporting Director Deco successfully concluded negotiations for the
player in London this week, amid abortive approaches from Bayern
Munich and Liverpool.
Gordon faced the Catalans three times in the season just
ended for Newcastle in the Champions League, netting once - in the
1-2 home loss last September.
Arriving from Everton in the January 2023 transfer window at a
claimed cost of £45m, the Toffees inserted a sell-on clause
giving them a percentage of any profit Newcastle make from a
future transfer.
Update:
Old gold for old boy
Following the expiration of his Newcastle contract, Kieran
Trippier is set to join Wolves as they prepare to return to the
Championship following their recent relegation.
Assuming that he passes his medical, the 35 year-old former England
international defender will sign a two year deal at Molineux with
the option of a third season included.
This will be the third time Trippier has played in the second tier,
following Championship service with Barnsley and Burnley earlier in
his career.
The last player to join Wolves after Magpies service was Mike
Williamson back in 2016.
Murrayfield visit:
Everton (n) on sale now
As claimed last week, Newcastle
have now confirmed a pre-season kickabout against Everton on
Wednesday August 12th (5.15pm) at Edinburgh's Murrayfield
Stadium.
ST/member pre-sale prices ranged from
£35 to £75 for adults plus booking fees of up to £13 - an
incredible uplift in cost compared to the £25 tickets at Celtic last
July.
Lower tier sections towards the South East corner were initially
made available to NUFC fans.
Sales periods as follows - details of allocation tbc:
Thu 28.05.2026 @ 4pm STs & members
Mon 01.06.2026 @ 10am those registering
here
Tue 02.06.2026 @ 10am general sale
All ticket sales are via Ticketmaster - ST holders and members
should have received an email with a dedicated link to purchase. A Ticketmaster account isn't required in order to complete any
purchase, as there is a guest checkout.
As NUFC aren't selling tickets direct, there's no loyalty point
requirement and no point will be issued to attendees.
The teatime kick-off does mean that it's possible to get back to
London Kings Cross via train post-match - which may be handy, given
the price of hotels in Edinburgh due to the annual Fringe Festival
taking place at the same time.
We're uncertain whether this really is a "dry run" to test the
viability of staging future NUFC games at Murrayfield, were SJP to
be unavailable due to reconstruction.
Regarding the rest of pre-season, the players will report back
around
July 13th and include a training camp in the Spanish resort of La Manga.
A pair of home friendlies over the weekend of August 15th/16th are
anticipated, with Serie A side AS Roma and French League Strasbourg
among rumoured opponents.
Update:
Safe standing,
seat swaps etc.
NUFC confirm that the North West Corner of L7 is to be converted to
safe standing ahead of next season, with a capacity of 1,741 places
in sections L7C, L7D and L7E.
That follows consultations over improving the atmosphere and
recreates the singing section in that part of the ground, disbanded
in 2011 due to persistent standing (and their vocal output mocking
then-owner Mike Ashley).
The process of relocating existing season ticket holders to and
from that area takes place next week, with other ST holders also
able to move seats - details
here
* seat swaps can only be requested between Mon 01.06.2026 and Fri
05.06.2026.
Unlikely lads:
Cumbrians claim Rob
Having completed a startling change of fortunes at Gateshead
following his return in January, Rob Elliot has departed from
the International Stadium once again.
Financial pressures at the Tynesiders left the 40 year-old former
Magpie goalkeeper facing budget cuts and the loss of players and
staff ahead of next season.
Elliot has remained in the the National League, taking charge of
Carlisle United following the departure of Mark Hughes.
SJP old boys on the move recently include:
Dan Barlaser left Boro
Rafa Benitez left Panathinaikos (Manager)
Lee Clark left Rotherham United (Manager)
Lee Clark now Hartlepool United (Manager)
Rob Elliot left Gateshead (Manager)
Rob Elliot now Carlisle United (Manager)
Isaac Hayden left QPR
Chris Hogg now Northampton Town (Manager)
Steve McClaren now Rotherham United (Head of Football)
Michael O'Neill left Blackburn Rovers (Manager)

Callum Roberts left Scunthorpe United
Dylan Stephenson left Dagenham & Redbridge
James Tavernier left Rangers
Dan Ward left South Shields
Contract:
Lewis commits
From NUFC,
Monday:
"Newcastle
United are delighted to announce that Academy graduate Lewis Miley
has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
"The 20-year-old has penned a six-year deal to keep him at
St. James' Park until 2032."
Lewis joined the club's Academy aged seven and debuted for
the U18s against Burnley in August 2021 - with elder brother Jamie
in the same line-up.
Winning his first England cap for the U17s in August 2022, within
days he'd been blooded at reserve level during an EFL Trophy tie
away to Doncaster Rovers.
A hectic few months followed during which Lewis scored his first
U21 goals, made two senior appearances in friendly matches and won
the Jack Hixon Sport Newcastle award for most promising local
youngster.
Introduced late on in United's 5-0 friendly win over Al-Hilal in
Riyadh, Miley then had another brief runout in the home victory over
Rayo Vallecano days later.
An unused substitute for United's Premier League trip to
Bournemouth in February, his 17th birthday in May 2023 brought
confirmation of a first professional deal.
His first competitive start came against Manchester City that
September and he became Newcastle's youngest ever European player
against Borussia Dortmund at 17 years and 191 days.
Lewis also holds the record for the club's youngest ever Premier
League scorer, after netting in the 3-0 home victory over Fulham
that December.
Having signed his first professional deal on his 17th birthday in
May 2023, he put pen to paper on a long-term contract contract the
following January.
The 2024/25 campaign included a maiden England U21 appearance
against Spain but he was an unused substitute as Newcastle were
victorious in the Carabao Cup Final.
Lewis started regularly in the 2025/26 season in both midfield
and at full back, scoring Premier League, Carabao Cup and Champions
League goals during a 19-day spell before Christmas.
However injury then saw him sidelined for 10 weeks, returning in
April 2026, only for a training ground injury to end his season
prematurely.

Championship:
What lies beneath
Hull City defeated
Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship playoff Final at Wembley on
Saturday, Ollie McBurnie's added-time effort meaning that the Tigers
join Coventry City and
Ipswich Town in the Premier League next season.
Here's a recent history of NUFC visits to the three sides:
Coventry City (last faced in the PL 2000/01)
The Sky Blues have moved from Highfield Road since our most recent
top-flight visit, a 2-0 win in September 2000 thanks to goals from
Alan Shearer and Kevin Gallacher.
The CBS Arena will become the 62nd different venue to host Newcastle
in the PL and they have a 100% record from their two previous visits
in other competitions: a 3-2 League Cup win in 2008 and a 4-1
Championship victory in 2009/10.
Ipswich Town (last faced in the PL 2024/25)
United return to Portman Road after a one season absence, having
scored four goals without reply there in late 2024 - Jacob Murphy
getting one and some Swede the rest.
Hull City (last faced in the PL 2014/15)
A 3-0 victory in January 2015 gave John Carver a first PL win as
interim boss, Remy Cabella, Sammy Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran all
finding the net against Steve Bruce's Tigers.
The Magpies returned under Rafa Benitez to draw 1-1 in the Carabao
Cup Quarter-final during November 2016 before exiting on penalties
in ham-fisted style - missing all but one of the four spot kicks
they took.
Newcastle's most recent game at the MKM Stadium was a friendly in
2024, winning 2-0. That was their fourth pre-season visit after
kickabouts in 2003, 2007 and 2018.
PS: The arrival of those three clubs at the expense of Burnley, West
Ham and Wolves means that Newcastle's annual mileage will increase
from 8,162 miles to 8,376.

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.
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 will remain unchanged at £30 for both 2026/27 and

On This Day in History |

29th May |

Born Or Died:
1926 William Isaiah
Foulkes born,
Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. (1951-54)
Forward who arrived from Chester City at a cost of £11,500 in
October 1951 and made his debut in a 4-2 win at Huddersfield Town.
Previously on amateur forms with Cardiff City, Bill won his first Welsh cap
just days after moving to United and scored with his first touch in a 1-1 draw
with England.
The scorer of United's opener in the 4-2 Third Round win against Aston Villa,
Bill played in every round of the competition in 1951/52 including the final
victory.
Moving to Southampton during 1954 in a joint deal with Tom Mulgrew, Bill later returned to Winsford United and Chester
City, ending his career at Hyde United.
Living in Chester, he passed away in 1979.
1976 Claudio Roberto da Silva (aka Cacapa) born, Lavras,
Brazil.
(2007-09)
The arrival of Sam Allardyce as Newcastle manager in the
summer of 2007 saw an overhaul of the club's defence, with over £13m spent on
David Rozehnal, Jose Enrique, Abdoulaye Faye and Habib Beye.
Also arriving was former Brazilian international central defender Cacapa, who
joined on a Bosman free following the expiration of his contract with Lyon.
Beginning his professional career in Brazil with Atletico Mineiro, he won the
first of four international caps before making the switch to OL in 2001.
Five domestic title successes in as many seasons followed, during which time
Claudio also acquired French citizenship.
His competitive debut came in the final seconds of a 0-0 home draw with Aston Villa,
becoming the third
Brazilian to play for United, after Mirandinha and Fumaca.
Paired with Faye, Rozehnal or Steven Taylor, Cacapa made 22 appearances that season
netting twice - both headers from corners at SJP - against Spurs and Stoke City,
the latter in the FA Cup.
That second goal came on the night that Kevin Keegan returned, but he lost his
place within weeks and didn't feature again until the season closer at
Everton.
Claudio will be remembered for a frail display in a 1-4 home rout by Pompey in
November 2007, substituted after just 18 minutes with his side already
trailing 1-3.
Featuring sporadically the following season under Chris Hughton and JFK,
Cacapa's final outing was a substitute appearance against Stoke in
December 2008.
Never selected for any squads by Alan Shearer, Claudio's last appearance at
SJP came for the reserves against Manchester United during March 2009.
Unsurprisingly Newcastle failed to exercise the one year option on his deal
and he departed in that summer, returning to his native Brazil and joining
Cruzeiro.
Cacapa made a comeback with French side Evian, helping them to promotion
in 2011 before returning to Brazil with Avai.
Following their relegation though he retired from playing and coached the
Brazilian U15 National Team between 2013 and 2015.
Claudio then returned to Lyon in 2015 as assistant coach to Bruno Genesio. He
also founded his own soccer school (ALCCA) in Sao Joao del Rey with fellow
Brazilian defender Andre Luiz.
Remaining with Lyon after the arrival of Rudi Garcia in 2019, Cacapa's future
was in doubt two years later after Garcia's exit but he remained as a coach
and spoke to Bruno Guimaraes ahead of the midfielder's move from Lyon to
Tyneside.
2003 Jude Smith born, Coatbridge, Scotland. (2022-24)
Newcastle added goalkeeper Jude to their
development squad ahead of the 2022/23 season, the 19 year-old having made 30 senior appearances
East Fife.
United paid an undisclosed fee following a successful trial for
the player on Celtic's books before joining the Fifers in 2021.
Signing a two year deal, Smith found himself training with the senior squad
before debuting for the U21s in a 2-4 PL loss away to Norwich in August 2022.
A maiden call-up to Scotland's U21s that November then led to a first cap in a
1-2 loss to Iceland at Motherwell's Fir Park.
Featuring regularly for the reserves, a
broken wrist sustained in early 2023 ended Jude's first season on Tyneside.
Belatedly returning to action the following season, Smith made just ten league
and cup starts and announced that he'd been released by the Magpie in May 2024.
Next came a move to Carlisle United, but Jude failed to make a senior
appearance at Brunton Park before leaving in 2026.

24 hours after beating local side Gallia, United
returned to the Stade de Colombes near Paris for the final
of a four team tournament.
However, their opponents were in front as early as the
fifth minute through Tommy McInally, who added a second
just before the interval.
The victory was then rounded off during the second half
when Jean McFarlane beat Newcastle goalkeeper Jimmy
Lawrence.

1965 Over a month after they had been
crowned as Second Division champions, Newcastle belatedly
took possession of the trophy in slightly bizarre
circumstances.
A 0-0 home draw with Manchester City in their final game
on a Saturday afternoon put United two points clear of
second placed Northampton Town and with a vastly (+20)
superior goal difference over the Cobblers.
However no trophy presentation could be made as Town's
final game was an evening kick-off at Portsmouth later the
same day.
That ended 1-1 and gave Newcastle the title - but not the
silverware, which was finally handed over at the Football
League AGM in London to chairman Lord Westwood, manager
Joe Harvey and captain Stan Anderson.
The trio then returned to Newcastle by rail.

Ujpesti Dozsa (Hungary) (h)

Fairs Cup Final 1st Leg
Moncur(63,71), Scott(84)
59,234
Eight days after winning a stormy semi-final against
Rangers, United were back at SJP to face the highly-rated
Magyars in the first leg of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup
Final.
After a tight first half, United skipper Bob Moncur chose
his 143rd game for United to grab his first senior goal,
pouncing to net after Wyn Davies saw his shot rebound
after latching on to Tommy Gibb's free kick.
Within minutes Moncur had done it again, the right-footer
shooting past visiting goalkeeper Antal Szentimihalyi
after playing a neat two with Benny Arentoft. Like his
first, it also came courtesy of his left foot.
The United captain also got another shot on target that
night, inadvertantly fracturing the cheekbone of Wyn
Davies - who played on.
Jim Scott then grabbed a third goal at the Gallowgate End
after another Arentoft assist, to give the Magpies a
healthy advantage going in to the second leg in Budapest.
Team: McFaul, Craig,
Clark, Gibb, Burton, Moncur, Scott, Robson, Davies,
Arentoft, Sinclair (Foggon 75). Subs n/u: Craggs,
Hope, McNamee.
Cap'n Bob takes on the
Magyars
Manager Joe Harvey commented afterwards:
"I feel that we have one hand on the cup now. I hoped
for two (goals) at the most - but three - it's
fantastic."

After friendlies in Malaysia & Thailand,
United moved on to Tokyo and recorded a victory in their
first Japan Cup game.
Venue was the Olympic Stadium, opened for the
1964 staging of that event.
Team:
Thomas,
Anderson, Wharton, McCreery, Clarke, Carney, Keegan,
McDonald, Varadi, McDermott, Waddle. Subs: Martin,
Hedworth.
1996 A last minute goal at Lansdowne Road gave
Portugal a 1-0 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland,
depriving future Magpie Shay Given a first clean sheet in
his third full international.
1998 England concluded their World Cup preparations
with a 0-0 draw against Belgium in a friendly staged in
Casablanca.
Newcastle's Rob Lee won his 17th cap
but missed the opening spot kick of the shootout, Belgium
winning 4-3.
1999 Newcastle duo Aaron Hughes and Shay Given were
in opposition as Northern Ireland registered a 1-0
friendly success over their Irish rivals in Dublin.
2000 United were linked with a move
for AB Copehangen's promising young striker, Peter
Lovenkrands. However he was to snub our approaches and
join Rangers - much to the annoyance of Bobby
