COVID concerns continue to grow
Daily Mail,
Sunday:
Newcastle United have been
struck with a potential coronavirus crisis after two more positive
tests were discovered at the club.
The new cases surfaced this
weekend, taking the overall number of confirmed infections to five,
and The Telegraph claims that fears are growing at St James' Park
that the number may increase over the coming days.
The club were recently hit with
the absences of two players and one staff member due to
self-isolation, and training has been halted before another round of
tests are held to determine the state of any outbreak.
It has even been suggested in
the same report that the virus may have been present on hard
surfaces around Newcastle's training facilities.
This claim is almost impossible
to confirm due to the various forms of contraction that have caused
coronavirus to spread globally - and the club's complex will also
have been thoroughly cleaned to prevent disaster striking.
However, any potential outbreak
among those present in a sealed off and indoor environment is likely
to pose a worst case scenario for top flight teams.
As such, the club face an
anxious wait for the results of the latest batch of tests.
The initial three positive cases
disrupted preparations for Newcastle's much-needed victory over
Crystal Palace on Friday.
It is believed that the individuals who contracted the disease were
in contact with the club's travelling contingent, further fuelling
concern that more cases will shortly follow.

U18s:
Ruthless Reds

Man United U18s
4 Newcastle U18s 1
A fine treble from Dutch teenager Dillon Hoogewer
propelled Manchester United to victory in an entertaining contest at
Carrington on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides came into the game on winning runs; Newcastle having
recorded back to back home victories and the hosts seeking their
fifth consecutive success.
And there was little to choose between them until Hoogewerf's 37th
minute opener; taking a pass from former mackem left back Logan Pye
before firing past Oliver Marshall from 12 yards.
The Magpies drew level on 50 minutes when Dylan Stephenson gained
possession on the edge of the home area and set up Lucas de Bolle to
stride forward and tuck his low shot inside the far post.
However that lead lasted just three minutes, before Bjorn Hardley
headed a half-clearance back into the Newcastle box that Hoogewerf
latched on to and bundled in despite the efforts of two defenders.
Former Ajax youngster Hoogewerf then completed his hat-trick in the
61st minute, Noam Emeran leaving Marshall stranded outside of his
area before pinging his shot off the goal frame.
Marshall survived that scare, but from his thrown clearance, Charlie
Savage returned it towards goal and Hoogewerf expertly picked his
spot between post and 'keeper to make to 3-1.
And the scoring was rounded off when Savage - son of Toon-loving
Robbie - took Emeran's pull back from the right byline and fired
home with six minutes left.
Team: Marshall, Oliver, Scott, Carlyon (Miley 77), Barclay,
Brannen, Stephenson (Ndiweni 71), Thomson, Harrison, de Bolle
(Huntley 66), Gilchrist.
Subs n/u: Stewart, Banda.

Newcastle in T3:
lockout continues
Confirmation of the tiers to be applied across the country from
December 2nd is beginning to emerge, with the entire North East
region given Tier 3 status - which means that football matches at
St. James' Park must continue to be played behind closed doors.
Speaking on Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that
a limited return of spectators to outdoor sports events would follow
from December 2nd:
Tier 1: 4,000
Tier 2: 2,000
Tier 3: none
Grounds also falling within Tier 3 include Villa Park, Elland Road
and the Etihad Stadium, meaning that no PL games involving NUFC in
the remainder of this year will be played with crowds*:
Fri 04.12.2020 Aston Villa (a) 0
Sat 12.12.2020 tbc West Brom (h) 0
Wed 16.12.2020 Leeds United (a) 0
Sat 19.12.2020 Fulham (h) 0*
Tue 22.12.2020 Brentford (a) 2,000+
Sat 26.12.2020 Man City (a) 0*
Wed 30.12.2020 Liverpool (h) 0*
* Assuming no Tier changes come on the first tier review date
of December 16th.
+ London has been given Tier 2 status, which means that up to
2,000 spectators are theoretically allowed into our League Cup tie
at Brentford (subject to that December 16th review date).
However there will be no provision made for away supporters at that
tie.

Latest loan action:
Elias Sorensen (Almere City)
It ended 2-2 away to Volendam in the Eerste Divisie on Friday, but
Elias wasn't named in the matchday squad.
Jack Young (Tranmere Rovers)
Rovers advanced to the Third Round of the FA Cup on Friday
following a 1-0 home victory over non-league Brackley Town.
Midfielder Jack was again omitted.
Jake Turner (Morecambe)
The Shrimps won a place in the FA Cup Third
Round thanks to a 4-2 extra time home win over Solihull Moors on
Saturday.
Goalkeeper Jake began the tie in goal but failed to reappear for
the second half of normal time, with his side 0-1 behind. That
change appeared to be tactical.
Kelland Watts (Plymouth Argyle)
Defender Kell kept his place in the Pilgrims side for Saturday's 2-0
FA Cup Second Round home victory over Lincoln City.
Florian Lejeune (Deportivo Alaves)
The defender was in the starting XI for a 2-1 victory in La Liga at
Real Madrid on Saturday night. The winning goal for Alaves was
scored by....Joselu.

"Radford....now

Update: thanks
to everyone who has responded so far with their tales, a weird and
wonderful assortment featuring oil rigs, pigeons and the FBI among
other things.... 'keep 'em coming!
From time to time we
call upon you lot to raid your memory banks about the life and times
of being a Newcastle fan - and you've responded magnificently with
tales of favourite goals, first games, arduous journeys to get there
- and being forcibly ejected from them.
The current stadium lockout got us thinking about the different ways
that supporters unable to attend matches in person kept in touch
with scorelines and events at SJP in the days before mobile phones
and the internet.
So if you found out via about the Fairs Cup triumph via smoke
signals in the Amazon Basin or had news of Andy Cole's sale via
pigeon, email biffa@nufc.com and
we'll share your story with the rest of the planet.

Update:
Club & fans both
challenge PL
19.11.2020 NUFC statement:
"The Club has previously not commented on the arbitration it is
pursuing against the Premier League (‘EPL’) with respect to its
conduct relating to the proposed takeover because of the
confidentiality clause in the EPL's rules.
"However, the Club is aware of public reports which state that, on
17 November, the EPL referred to legal proceedings with the Club
(e.g. social media posts referring to the “Club’s own legal case”)
in a letter to Newcastle supporters.
"The source of some of the reporting is said to be the EPL. It
appears, therefore, that the EPL has leaked the contents of their
letter to some of those commenting in the public domain.
"The Club understands that these will be matters of great concern to
its fans and therefore considers that, in light of the information
disclosed by the EPL, it has no choice but to respond and update its
fans in response to this coverage.
"The Club makes no comment on the substance of the arbitration, but
it can confirm that it has issued arbitration proceedings against
the EPL.
"It is unclear when those proceedings will be resolved, given the
approach of the EPL and its lawyers, Bird & Bird. Nevertheless, the
Club will continue to use its best efforts to press for a fair, full
and timely hearing of its claim.”
The club's reference to "Newcastle supporters" is the Newcastle
Consortium Supporters Ltd (NCSL) - a group of fans aiming to bring
the PL to account for what they deem to have been regulatory
breaches during the abortive takeover.
17.11.2020
Newcastle Consortium Supporters Ltd (NCSL) tweeted that:
"We’ve received the EPL’s 'substantive' nine-page response.
It's now with our competition team led by Robert O’Donoghue, QC.
"We’ll announce our next move in our determination to progress
this matter."
NCSL subsequently claimed that the response from the PL included
written confirmation that they (the PL) were currently in legal
dispute with NUFC - something which they contend is a breach of
confidentiality.
03.11.2020 The PL responded
via their legal representatives, requesting an additional period of
14 days to gather information.
That was reportedly refused.
27.10.2020 The PL received a "Letter Before Action" from
"Newcastle Consortium Supporters Ltd", a company formed by Gordon Stein and Keith Patterson last August.
The authors claimed they
intended to seek a ruling from The Competition Appeal Tribunal over
whether the PL breached any UK regulations during the abortive sale
of Newcastle United to Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, PCP
Capital Partners and Reuben Brothers earlier this year.
The authors asserted that they were working with Robert O’Donoghue QC
of Brick Court Chambers on their case.
14.09.2020 QCs Nick De Marco and Shaheed Fatima of Blackstone
Chambers confirmed that they were acting for Newcastle United
against the PL.
Their involvement comes at the instigation of lawyers acting for
Mike Ashley following the breakdown of the PCP takeover bid.

Aston Villa
(a)
Friday sees Steve
Bruce return to yet another one of his former clubs, when Newcastle
lock horns with Aston Villa.
It's an
8pm KO at Villa Park and live coverage is provided by Sky
Sports.
A 0-2 loss last season was our first defeat there in seven visits,
but United haven't won any of their four games there since a 2-1 PL
triumph in 2013/14.
Following successes at West Ham and Crystal Palace, Newcastle are
seeking their third PL away win of the season - and the first back
to back victories on the road since last season (Southampton in
March and then Bournemouth four months later once the season had
resumed).
And The Magpies haven't won back to back PL games since either side
of that first lockdown; at Southampton then at home to Sheffield
United three months after.

away win. A win would have seen the Magpies top Division
Two.

Chilean forward George Robledo grabbed his 13th goal
of the season to preserve United's unbeaten home record
and leave them eighth in the table.
Despite that comparatively lowly position, the Magpies
were only five points behind league leaders Wolves and
with a game in hand.
Sadly this proved to be their highest placing of the
season and they fell away to 16th, partly due to an
atrocious run of results at SJP.

Newcastle failed to end a winless run at Elland Road
that stretched back to 1927 and their ill-fortune extended
to an ankle injury suffered by Dick Keith and a strong
penalty claim by Len White ignored.
The weak floodlights barely pierced the fog on a gloomy day

been forced off with a head injury.

After the disappointment of a Champions League exit
away to Barcelona in midweek, the Magpies bounced back at
Selhurst Park.
Temuri Ketsbaia gave Kenny Dalglish's side a halftime lead
with a fine 20 yarder, before setting up Jon Dahl Tomasson,
whose shot bobbled past Eagles 'keeper Kevin Miller.
This victory was to be our last in London until the
momentous 3-1 success at Highbury in December 2001 - a 30
game barren run.

Ex-Mag keeper Ian Bennett floored Alan Shearer as he
was through on goal, but referee Steve Bennett (no
relation, apparently) inexplicably deemed it a yellow card offence and
Newcastle wasted the
resultant free-kick.
The score then was 1-1 but
Blues went on to win it and made it through to
the final, losing on penalties to Liverpool at Cardiff's
Millennium Stadium. Poor old Trevor Francis.

There were quite literally fireworks on the pitch at
Molineux as a
pre-match display ended with a stray rocket narrowly missing
Jonathan Woodgate before hurtling into the
crowd, where it hit a home spectator just below the eye.
It was a
controversial match for United, being played less than 48
hours after a home UEFA Cup tie against Basel. The rift
between Freddy Shepherd and Sir Bobby Robson was evident
from their
differing public statements about the situation.

2005 As press-led attempts to
punish Alan
Shearer for an incident with Everton's David Weir continued, FA
Director of Communications Adrian Bevington said:
"Howard Webb has confirmed to us that he saw the incident at the
time. Therefore, that prevents us from taking any other action under Fifa
regulations. The matter is now closed."
That doubtless came as a great blow to the Daily Mail, who
gleefully printed "Shearer's Charge Sheet",
which mysteriously included the incident in 2001 when Roy Keane was
dismissed at SJP - despite there being no physical contact between the
players.
Celestine Babayaro was not so lucky
for his clash with stroppy Toffee Tim Cahill in the same game and was punished via
video evidence, receiving a three match ban.

After gaining a point from a scoreless draw at Stamford Bridge the
previous week, Joe Kinnear's side did it again at the Riverside.
However, that made it four games without a win for United, not helped
by another below par display from alleged strike pair Obafemi Martins and Michael Owen.
The return of ex-smoggy Mark Viduka to the Toon side as a second half substitute
brought home fans to life, but he failed to emulate his
goalscoring feat of the previous season.

United lost their unbeaten record at the KCOM Stadium and exited from the
EFL Cup after failing to take advantage of numerous opportunities to claim a
Premier League scalp.
City were reduced to ten men in the 90th minute when Dieumerci
Mbokani was dismissed and Tigers old boy Mo Diame then netted - only for
some slackness allow the hosts to level immediately.
The tie was settled in a shootout of laughable ineptness: shocking misses from
Jonjo Shelvey, Dwight Gayle and Yoan Gouffran sealing our fate - with only
Christian Atsu's effort sneaking under the crossbar preventing a total
humiliation.
