Bournemouth (h)
Next up at St. James' Park in the Premier League are a Cherries side
now managed by Marco Rose on Saturday.
It's a 12.30pm kick-off, live on TNT Sports.
The visitors took an allocation of 1,159.
Team: Dan Burn, Joelinton and William Osula won't feature,
while the status of Tino Livramento is awaited.
Speaking at his press call on Thursday, Matthias Jaissle played down
reports Osula would be missing until after the September/October international
break.
Forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo may debut following his deadline day
arrival from Lille.

Transfer deadline day ended with no senior arrivals and departures
from the Cherries. Like Newcastle, they raided Benfica to boost
their defence during the summer, signing Amar Dedic's former
colleague, Antonio Silva.
Former Magpie goalkeeper Fraser Forster joined the club during the
January 2026 window but is yet to feature.
Bournemouth began the Premier League season with a 1-2 loss at
Manchester City, followed by a 1-1 home draw with Everton.
A sixth place finish last season was the highest in their history,
bringing a European debut in the Europa League Group Stage plus a
bye to the Carabao Cup Third Round.
Referee: Robert Jones - the Merseyside-based official

at Fulham.

Squad list confirmed
The squad list submitted to the Premier League by United sees just
19 places of the 25 man allocation utilised:
Barnes, Botman, Burn, Dedic, Elanga, Gillespie, Gonzalez, Hall,
Hornicek, Joelinton, Livramento, Murphy, Osula, Pope, Ramsey, Schar,
Thiaw, Willock, Wissa.
In amongst 60 names classified as U21 players meanwhile are Lewis
Miley and five summer senior signings:
Bamba, Fernandez-Pardo, Jaouen, Steur, Toure
Elsewhere on that second list are two previously-unlisted names;
Alexander Walpole and Ousmane Diabate.
Previously with Huddersfield Town, 19 year-old goalkeeper Walpole
was listed as an unused substitute in United's opening U21 fixture
of the season.
18 year-old midfielder Diabate meanwhile was linked with a move to
SJP from Turks Genclerberligi during the summer - their coach
claiming publicly that the sale was done and the player had been
loaned back for the coming season.
Guinea-born Diabate is now listed by the Premier League as an
on-loan Magpie and has made three starts so far in the Turkish top
flight this season.
That came after a senior international debut in a friendly against
Northern Ireland back in June.

DJ
culture
Out today (Thursday) in hardback is the
latest book from local author and historian Dan Jackson, "Howay
The Lads - a people's history of Newcastle United."
We sat down with Dan to ask him about this writing project and
get some insights into his NUFC-supporting life:
What did you hope to achieve by writing "Howay.."?
I have long been fascinated by the history of this very
distinctive region of England (see my previous book The
Northumbrians for more details), and I was always interested in the
idea that NUFC's fortunes closely tracked moments of confidence and
optimism in the North East.
So, for example, the dynamism of the Edwardian period - when
Tyneside led the world in electrical power generation (hence the
Metro) and built the fastest and most lethally armed ships in the
world – was matched by NUFC's dominance of the Football League.
Or in the post WW2 period, when the region felt good about
nationalisation, full employment and the Welfare State, NUFC were
busy winning three Wembley finals (and the FA Cup really was the
Champions League of its day).
And finally in the 1990s, when the region was emerging from the
miseries of the long 1980s, and becoming famous as this great party
city, Kevin Keegan gave us the most entertaining team in England.
So basically, my motivation was about trying to tell the history of
region through the football club.
Favourite nugget of club knowledge you uncovered?
That we had a Scottish centre forward in the 1890s called Dick
Smellie.
First game / earliest recollections of SJP?
My old man took me sporadically in the 1980s but we only
started going religiously when Keegan came back in 1991/2.
My most vivid memory is standing in the Strawberry corner for that
Portsmouth game. If I close my eyes I can still see Ned Kelly
falling backwards after he took the shot and Alan Knight's
outstretched hand.
I think I can still smell the Gallowgate bogs too ..
Player from NUFC history you wish you had seen?
I wish I'd met Colin Veitch, possibly the most fascinating
player in our history. Morrissey look-alike, amateur thespian and
friend of Bernard Shaw, trade union leader and commissioned officer
on the Western Front – oh and he captained title winning NUFC sides
and played for England.
Where were you at full time in the 2025 Carabao Cup final –
and how did you feel?
In the posh seats of Club Wembley hugging a complete stranger
and drying my eyes.
Favourite ever NUFC kit?
Believe it or not I still fit into the 91-93 blue star barcode
shirt that I got when I was 12 – so very fond of that one.
But I also love the figure-hugging 1924 FA Cup final shirt - as worn
by Frank Hudspeth, Neil Harris and Stan Seymour - with its massive
baroque city arms on the chest.
SJP future - move or rebuild?
Heart says rebuild – SJP is a sacred space to me – but head
probably says move to Leazes Park. It's not too far from the city
centre pubs that make Newcastle matchdays so special, and the
setting by the lake (and opening up the view of Leazes Terrace)
would be spectacular.
Did any nufc related moment come to mind when you heard of
KK’s passing? Player or manager era?
I was a ball boy for the Derby County home game in January
1993 (after which Tommy Johnson got filled in down the Bigg Market),
and as I hung around in the tunnel KK came up to me and patted my
cheek – in the way that Eric used to do to Ern on the Morecambe and
Wise Show.
Are you optimistic about this season?
I am now! Jaissle, we can boogie …
Next writing project?
I'm having a breather first, but suggestions welcome!

MFP at SJP
Tuesday saw
Newcastle confirm their eighth senior
signing of the transfer window, with
Matias Fernandez-Pardo acquired from Lille for a claimed £51m.
The 21 year-old
Belgian international completed his medical in Newcastle on Monday after a five-year deal was agreed for the
attacker seen as an Anthony Gordon replacement.
Pardo will wear the number 20 shirt and is in line to debut against
Bournemouth on Saturday.
He'll become the second Belgian to appear in the Premier League for
United after Philippe Albert (Matz Sels only played in the
Championship).
Pardo hasn't played for Lille this season; suspended on the opening day
of the season and then omitted from first team training after confirming his
desire to leave the club.
His last competitive appearance came for Belgium at the
World Cup Finals in June, having switched allegiance from Spain back
to representing the country of his birth.
Previous transfer dealings with Lille brought Sven Botman to
SJP, as well as Mathieu Debuchy and Yohan Cabaye.
Loan departure:
Woltemade away
Following the arrival of Matias Fernandez-Pardo, United confirmed that
Nick Woltemade had joined Serie A side Juventus on a season-long
loan - a year after he became the club's most expensive-ever
signing.
It's common knowledge that his debut headed goal against Wolves
wasn't characteristic of his game and despite his height, there was
no expectation of being a target man.
The early promise of the forward faded along with his goal
contributions and he became steadily less effective as his
experience of the Premier League grew - reluctant to take up
positions in and around the box where he'd previously scored and
collected fouls even before his midfield move.
And while Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa look revitalised after
returning from the World Cup to a change of coach, the same cannot
be said of Woltemade even if a fellow countryman was installed in
succession to Eddie Howe.
Reportedly loaned
for a £3m fee only, with no provision for a permanent switch, Nick
could debut against AC Milan this Sunday in the same side as fellow
SJP discard Lloyd Kelly.
The loan means that Woltemade gets to play European football this
season, with Juventus in the Europa League.
Loan departure:
Neave away
Belated confirmation of a loan exit
for
Sean Neave arrived on Wednesday morning, with the 19
year-forward making a season-long switch to Championship side
Wolves.
He'll link up at Molineux with SJP old boys Kieran Trippier, John
Ruddy and Adam Armstrong.
Assuming he plays regularly for the first team, it's a timely and
possibly career-defining switch for the England youth international,
whose senior club career consists of two cameo appearances for
United earlier this year.
Another season of U21 games and Premier League bench duty will tell
him - and us - nothing that isn't already known and provide no
genuine yardstick as to his ceiling.
It's unrealistic to suggest that Neave will keep Raul Jimenez and
Armstrong out of the Championship starting line-up, but has be to
better off with an increased number of substitute outs in the second
tier than the odd five minutes for us.
One date is circled in our diary - that of Newcastle's PL2 away
fixture against Wolves next February. If Sean is sighted in that,
then the plans have been disrupted.
Remaining at Gallowgate despite links elsewhere are Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy
and Nick
Pope.

Stats:
These sides met just once previously in the League Cup, the
Lions running out 2-0 winners at Gallowgate in the Second Round back
in 1977. Then as now, United were in the top flight and Millwall
were one league below them.
The only previous time Millwall hosted Newcastle in a cup fixture
came in 1957 when they won a Fourth Round FA Cup tie 2-1; a
headline-grabbing feat, given that they were in Division Three South and
beat a First Division side who had lifted the trophy three times in
the previous six years.
Magpies @ Lions - all time:
1992/93 won 2-1 Clark, Cole
1991/92 lost 1-2 Neilson
1990/91 won 1-0 G.Peacock
1988/89 lost 0-4
1978/79 lost 1-2 Barton
1956/57 lost 1-2 Tait (FA)
1947/48 lost 1-2 Pearson
1946/47 won 4-1 Bentley 2, Milburn, Stubbins
1938/39 drew 1-1 Cairns
Update:
One in, one out
It's reported that ex-Magpie Paul Dummett has returned to the
club in a development squad loan capacity, following Shola Ameobi's
move to a corporate role.
The 34 year-old exited from Gallowgate at the end of the 2023/24
season, playing on for Wigan Athletic before a brief spell at
Carlisle United ended with his retirement in 2025.
Meanwhile goalkeeping coach Adam Bartlett has left the
Magpies after the arrival of Matthias Jaissle and his staff.
Playing for Newcastle as a youngster, the 40 year-old returned to
the club as a coach in 2019, succeeding Simon Smith as head of the
goalkeeping department in 2022.
U18s:
Rovers ravaged
Newcastle U18s 6 Blackburn Rovers U18s 1
Newcastle U18s made it three league wins out of three on Saturday,
an emphatic success against Rovers at Little Benton keeping them on
top of the table.
They were helped on their way by a 12th minute own goal from Ethan Low
before Noah Morgan’s effort four minutes later built up a 2-0 interval
lead.
Alfie Seldon netted his fourth goal in three games to put United
further ahead on the hour; Ty Livesey
immediately replying for a Rovers side beaten 0-8 last weekend.
It was 4-1 nine minutes later when Jack Skelton netted on his first
start at this level, Alfie Hutchison continuing his goal a game run
nine minutes before the end of normal time.
The scoring was rounded off on 86 minutes when substitute Charlie
Robinson scored his first U18 goal for the Magpies (originally
credited to Skelton in error).
Team: Dowell, Healy-Matthew (Patterson 82), Morgan (Goodbrand
65), Ghanem, Moran, Old,
Skelton, Koussou (Gilligan 75), Hutchison, Callaghan (Robinson 65), Seldon

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours to determine success, 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.

3rd September |

Born Or Died:
1948 Death of Jack Peart, 60.
(1912-13)
1949 John Hopkinson born, Gateshead.
(1964-66)
Centre half who caught United's eye while playing for Gateshead Boys
and Durham Schoolboys, joining the N's youth side.
John later moved on to Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United and Worksop Town.
1966 Danny Olson born, North Shields. (1985)
Midfielder signed by Ipswich Town from Wallsend Boys Club
who left Portman Road in 1985 without playing a senior game.
Given a trial by Newcastle, Danny was fielder in a first
team pre-season
game at Scarborough that August.
Later with Darlington, Carlisle United and Colchester
United, Olson joined Norwegian club Kongsberg IF before
returning to his native North East with North Shields, West Allotment Celtic and Morpeth
Town.
Olson later coached and managed local sides
including Bedlington Terriers, Alnwick Town, West Auckland Town,
Washington, Seaton Delaval and Rothbury.
1977 Erik Olof Mellberg born, Gullspang, Sweden. (1997)
File
under "another one that got away".....
Reviewing players scouted in his previous job at
Rangers, newly-installed Magpies boss Kenny Dalglish
brought 19 year-old Erik to Tyneside on trial in early
1997.
The Swedish defender was banned by his club Degerfors IF
from
playing any games and quickly returned home, although a £1m move was claimed by
The Chronicle.
Fast forward to June 2001 and Mellberg was a full
Swedish international who had played for AIK Stockholm
and Racing Santander - sold by the Spaniards to Premier League
Aston Villa for £5m.
Seven seasons at Villa Park saw him made club captain and become a popular
figure, scoring a rare goal against United in 2004.
Olof subsequently played for Juventus (Italy), Olympiakos (Greece), Villarreal
(Spain) and FC Copenhagen (Denmark), in addition to winning over 100 full caps.
Retiring in 2014 he later coached at IF Brommapojkarna (Sweden), Fremad Amager
(Denmark), Helsingborgs IF and Brommapojkarna (both
Sweden).
In November 2024 Mellberg took charge
of MLS side St. Louis City but was fired six months
later after a poor run of results.
1989 Jonny Godsmark born, Guidepost.
(2006-10)
Winger who
announced his arrival with two goals in an FA Youth Cup tie against Manchester
City at SJP in March 2006.
A reserve bow came in the Northumberland Senior Cup later that year against Walker
Central and he appeared from the bench for a youthful United senior XI during a
kickabout at Hull City in August 2007.
A year later Godsmark was
named on the bench by Kevin Keegan for a number of friendlies, but wasn't
called into action.
Signing a professional contract in 2008, a lack of first team chances saw him
loaned out to Hereford United in August 2009 only to sustain a broken hand.
Playing for Ashington, Godsmark made a playing comeback from a broken leg in
2012 but a repeat injury in the colours of Whitley Bay four years later
forced his retirement.
1996 Yoane Wissa born, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France. (2025-present)
United's latest number 9 was finally signed in the closing
minutes of the summer 2025 transfer window, having agitated
to leave former club Brentford for some weeks in a not
dissimilar manner to his Anfield-bound predecessor at SJP,
Alexander Isak.
Beginning his senior career at French second tier side LB
Chateauroux in 2015, Wissa was signed by Ligue 1 outfit
Angers the following year, but spent most of his time there
on loan at Laval and Ajaccio.
Making a permanent switch to Lorient during the 2017/18
season, he helped them gain promotion in 2020, leaving the
following season after adding 10 Ligue 1 goals to his 25 in
the Second Division.
That form had resulted in a maiden call-up to the DR Congo
side and attracted the interest of newly-promoted Brentford,
who paid a reported £8.5m for him.
Four Premier League seasons at the Bees brought him 45 goals
in that competition - 19 in the 2024/25 campaign including
one to home to Newcastle for the second time in barely six
months. He also netted in his side's Carabao Cup defeat at
Gallowgate.
Announcing his intention to follow manager Thomas Frank and
fellow top goalscorer Bryan Mbeumo out of the Gtech Stadium
that summer, Wissa returned from a pre-season training camp
in Portugal but did then return to the squad without being
selected for any of the opening three PL fixtures by manager
Keith Andrews.
A third offer by Newcastle reported to be £55m was accepted
by the Bees and the player drove to Tyneside to become the
club's sixth major signing of the window - emulating fellow
former DRC internationals Lomana LuaLua and Chancel Mbemba.
Wissa's time on Tyneside started badly when his debut was
delayed by an injury sustained while on duty for DR Congo.
It wasn't until December that he made his bow against
Burnley, scoring his first Newcastle goal against Fulham in
the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
However, he only netted twice more that season, starting
just eight league and cup games as Eddie Howe turned to Will
Osula in an attempt to supply goals.
There were no such struggles playing at the 2026
World Cup Finals, netting three times and looked rejuvenated
after finally gaining match fitness.
Beginning pre-season with two goals in 45 minutes at
Valencia, Wissa's form carried over into the start of the
following season, scoring in a 2-0 win at Spurs.

What Else?

1898 Wolves (h)
2-4 (0-3)
Division One
P1, 0pts, 16th/18
Peddie(50,2-4)
Beats(8,20), R.Davies(25), Miller(82)
20,000
United began
their first-ever season in the top flight following work
to level off the notorious sloping pitch at Gallowgate.
And sadly, confirmation that they were no longer such an
invincible force on home turf wasn't long in coming
against a Wolves side who had finished third the season
before.
The Sporting Life scribe concluded that United "were
completely outclassed for both combination and pace"
as they conceded three times in the opening half hour.
There were debuts for William Higgins and Matt
Kingsley, while United were without James Jackson and Joe
Rogers due to injuries sustained in a bruising friendly
against the mackems days earlier.
1904 Woolwich Arsenal (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Division One
P1, 2pts, 2nd/18
Rutherford(8), Orr(62,86)
21,897
The Magpies won their season opener and in doing so
ensured that the visitors endured a winless start to life
in the top flight.
Newcastle gave a debut Bill McCracken, who would become a prime exponent of the offside
law.
1906 Sheffield
Wednesday (a)
2-2 (2-1)
Division One
P2, 3pts, 4th/20
Appleyard(5,20)
Brittleton(1-1), Tummon(60)
8,000
48 hours after beginning
the season with a 4-2 victory over the mackems, United
were forced to make five changes for their visit to
Owlerton.
There was a first appearance for outside right Robert Blackburn.
1910 Bristol City (h)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P2, 0pts, 19th/20
Hardy(83)
26,000
United were without Colin Veitch, who was omitted
following the death of his father.
1919 West Bromwich
Albion (h)
0-2 (0-2)
Division One
P2, 2pts, 16th/22
Magee(30, Gregory(40)
50,000
To complete Newcastle's misery in what was their first
home game of the season, Frank Hudspeth struck the
crossbar with a second half penalty kick.
1921 Huddersfield Town
(h)
1-2 (0-2)
Division One
P3, 4pts, 5th/22
McDonald(60)
Jones(5), Wilson(29)
50,000
The Terriers left Tyneside with both points, although
the hosts were aggrieved that a second half leveller by
Neil Harris following a corner was disallowed for a
handball.
1927 Tottenham Hotspur
(h)
4-1 (3-0)
Division One
P2, 4pts, 3rd/22
Gallacher(4), Seymour(15,85),
McDonald(3-0pen)
O'Callaghan(70)
41,038
Following an opening day success away at Huddersfield,
Newcastle made a triumphant return to Gallowgate for the
first time since lifting the First Division title.
"The Champions' magnificent footwork aroused much
enthusiasm" according to the Sports Argus
reporter, the Athletic News scribe meanwhile
reckoned that United demonstrated "football craft
that sent their followers into ecstasies."
Heady days indeed.
 1930
Chelsea (h)
1-0 (0-0)
Division One
P2, 2pts, 10th/22
Cape(76)
68,386
SJP hosted its record crowd as star striker Hughie
Gallacher made his first return since joining Chelsea four
months earlier.
Jackie Cape however sent the home fans happy, heading past
visiting goalkeeper Simeon Millington with 14 minutes
left.
The warmth of the welcome later caused Gallacher to call
it, "the most touching and memorable occasion of
my football life."
1932 Liverpool (h)
4-3 (3-0)
Division One
P3, 5pts, 5th/22
McMenemy(1-0),
Lang(15), og(Steel)(33), Allen(52)
Hodgson(47pen),
Crawford(55), Bradshaw(89)
28,000
What looks like a
classic game of two halves at Gallowgate was reportedly
caused by high winds, six of the seven goals netted when
the conditions favoured the scorer.

1938
Sheffield United (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two

Howsam(15), Roberts(54), Linacre(62)
58,334
The Spireites gained speedy revenge for a 0-1 defeat
by United at Saltergate the previous week.
There was a belated senior debut for Norman Dodgin,
who had represented United during the hostilities. However
he was one of five players dropped for United's next game.
 1949
Aston Villa (h)
3-2 (2-1)
Division One
P5, 4pts, 13th/22
Milburn(33,43pen,46)

seconds of the second half starting, to register a 14
minute hat-trick.

1975 Another
fruitless night for Malcolm Macdonald, who missed two good
chances as England won 2-1 against Switzerland in Basel.
Kevin Keegan and Mick Channon netted and KK also missed a
penalty.
 1977
West Ham United (h)
2-3 (2-1)
Division One
P4, 2pts, 20th/22
Burns(8), Cassidy(22)
Jennings(37), Taylor(48), Robson(80)

Ex-Magpie Pop Robson was on target for the visitors as
Newcastle lost their second home game in four days,
following a 0-2 defeat by Millwall in the League Cup.
 1983
Oldham Athletic (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Division Two
P3, 6pts, 3rd/22
McDermott(28), Waddle(58), Mills(65)
22,573
After a shock home loss to Shrewsbury the previous
Bank Holiday Monday, United returned to winning ways.
Terry McDermott broke the deadlock when firing home at the
Leazes End, when visiting goalkeeper Andy Goram could only
parry an effort by David Mills.
And after Chris Waddle had doubled the lead, McDermott saw
his effort strike the crossbar and fall nicely for Mills
to knock home.
 1986
Queens Park Rangers (h)
0-2 (0-0)
Division One
P4, 2pts, 20th/22
Byrne(49), Bannister(75pen)
23,080
United's winless start to the season was extended to
four games, after an R's side featuring Wayne Fereday took
the points thanks to second half goals from John Byrne and
Gary Bannister.
 1988
Tottenham Hotspur (h) 2-2 (2-0)
Division One
P2, 1pt, 17th/20
Thorn(4), D.Jackson(19)
Waddle(46), Fenwick(58)
33,508
United's 2-0 interval lead was wiped out by old boy
Chris Waddle - who scored within seconds of the restart -
and Wearsider Terry Fenwick with a header.
The returning Paul Gascoigne was pelted with confectionery
and abuse on his competitive debut for Spurs and
eventually substituted during the second half.

1993 Future Magpie
Keith Gillespie moved from Manchester United to Wigan
Athletic on loan, going to play eight times.
1994 42 years
after the last time they used it as a home ground,
Gateshead FC played a competitive game at SJP.
Unable to use the International Stadium for a
Conference fixture with Yeovil Town due to an athletics
event, the Tynesiders were given use of SJP as a thank you
for letting United's reserve side regularly play over the
river.
2,734 fans saw the Glovers win 3-0, with a trio of
ex-Magpies in the Gateshead XI - John Watson, Jeff
Wrightson and David Robinson.
1996 Midfielder
Chris Holland became the latest United youngster to be
loaned out, joining Birmingham City. The move was later
made permanent at a cost of £600K.
 1997
Having not fielded a reserve side the previous season in
protest at the stadium criteria imposed, United played
their first fixture in Pontins League Division Three
against Doncaster Rovers.
Despite the unfashionable opposition, SJP saw 10,110 fans
turn out and the kick-off had to be delayed 30 minutes.
Ian Rush scored twice and Paul Arnison got the third in a
3-0 home victory.
2003 A
United XI played a fundraiser for the Mary Hayton Cancer
Research UK Memorial Fund at Chester-le-Street Riverside
against Sacriston Working Man's Club.
Kitman
Ray Thompson,
Physio James Haycock,
Martin Brittain (2), Andy Ferrell, Lewis Guy and Peter
Ramage all netted in a 7-0 win.

2004 Rumours on Bobby Robson's successor as Newcastle boss had
Ottmar Hitzfeld flying in, Alan Shearer saying he was too
young and Steve Bruce continuing to be linked. Bookies still
offered 50/1 on Graeme Souness....
2007
An
excellent 3-0 victory for Lee Clark's Reserve side against
the previous season's Champions, Bolton, at St. James'
Park.
Goals from James Troisi,
Darren Lough and birthday boy Jonny Godsmark did the damage,
the latter scoring from the spot after he was fouled by
Trotters 'keeper Al Habsi, who was red-carded.
NUFC.com
match report
2008 Speculation
was rife that one of the major obstacles to Kevin Keegan
remaining as manager was to be removed - the departure of
Dennis Wise from SJP.
That was soon dampened by a club
statement that the situation remained unchanged though.
Various sources claimed that different transfer-related events
triggered the rows: the sale of
James Milner, attempts to flog Joey Barton and Michael
Owen, claims that all of the squad were for sale and a
failure to sign players in positions identified by KK as
priorities.
What seemed beyond question was that one of the two would
go.
2012 Having begun the
new U21 reserve league season by scoring six times against
Spurs, Newcastle went goal crazy again, thrashing Stoke
City 5-1 on the road.
Brad Inman scored a hat trick, Marcus Maddison and JJ
Hooper netted and Adam Campbell was denied from the
penalty spot.

VAR played a pivotal role in denying United victory
at SJP,
after
Joe Willock was shoved
in the box by Tyrick Mitchell and the ball
ended up
in the Leazes End net.
VAR official Lee Mason sent referee Michael Salisbury to the pitchside monitor
and he unbelievably agreed that Willock was guilty of a foul and ruled out the
goal - only for the SJP big screen to then replay the video, with the
shove on Willock clearly evident.
