Brentford (a)
Newcastle conclude their Premier
League season in West London on Sunday, facing the Bees in a 4pm
kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium.
For anyone with the tickets for the game, be aware that search
procedures outside the away end tend to be thorough and lengthy.
That causes delays to entry and may also be badly received by
some.
There's no live TV coverage in the UK.
The Magpies begin in seventh, needing to equal or better Manchester
United's result at Brighton to stay ahead of the Red Devils and
qualify for a two-legged Europa Conference playoff on August
22nd/29th.
However that would depend on Erik ten Hag's side
losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup Final next Saturday. Were
they to win, they would earn a Europa League spot, pushing the sixth
place finisher into the Europa Conference and depriving the team
finishing in seventh of European football.
Were Chelsea to lose at home to Bournemouth and Newcastle win at
Brentford, that would be enough to bridge the current three point
gap and see Eddie Howe's side take sixth place on goal
difference.
Sixth ensures either a Europa League or a Europa Conference berth,
depending on the FA Cup result.
Brighton confirm that they are to part company with Coach Roberto de
Zerbi after Sunday's game.

Following thirteenth and ninth-place finishes in
their first two PL campaigns, the Bees are assured of either fifteenth

It's assumed that Sunday will see Ivan Toney make his final appearance
for Brentford. He's failed to score in his last 11 PL games but has
three goals against Newcastle in four PL outings against his former

On home soil this season, Thomas Frank's side have won just five times,
drawing seven games and losing the remaining six.

Stats:
Newcastle have scored 32 away goals in
18 PL games away from SJP so far. That equals the 2022/23 total and
has only been beaten once: 34 in 2001/02.
In all competitions so far this
season, Newcastle have scored 98 goals (81 in the PL, six in the CL,
six in the FAC and five in the Carabao Cup). They last reached a
century in the 2015/16 Championship season and haven't done it in a
top flight season since 1960/61.
That PL total of 81 has only been exceeded once by United, with 82
scored in their debut season of 1993/94, which consisted of 42 games
not 38.

Sticky end
Everton U18s 8 Newcastle
U18s 0
There was a memorable conclusion to United's U18 programme
on Saturday - for the Toffees at least...
Graeme Carrick's side came into the game
following successes against Leeds United and Boro but fell behind
after just seven minutes to Joel Catesby.
Harvey Foster then doubled Everton's advantage on 37 minutes, before Jacob
Beaumont-Clark struck five minutes before the interval to make it
0-3.
Things got no better after the break for the Magpies at Finch Farm,
Joshua van Schoor on target in the 50th and 66th minutes with
Catesby's second of the game coming in between on 62 minutes.
The hosts then piled on the misery in the closing moments, George
Finney with a seventh on 85 and Matthew Apter making it eight three
minutes later.
Team: Harrison, Durrant, Bloomer, Watts, H.Powell, Taylor (Hernes
46), Brayson (Wooster 83), Palmer, Donaldson (Johnson 80), Emerson
(O'Donovan 84), Neave. Sub n/u: Jones.
Booked: Bloomer, Palmer, Neave.
Despite this loss, the Magpies finished the season eighth in the 13
team PL North Group - seven points and three places above Everton.
Newcastle's final tally of 32 points from 24 games is their best
league return at this level since the competition was reformatted in
2014.
2023/24:
Off to Oz
Following Sunday's Premier League season closer at Brentford, the
Newcastle squad will fly to Australia ahead of a pair of meaningless
money-spinning kickabouts in Melbourne this week.
First up is a meeting with Tottenham Hotspur at the Melbourne
Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday.
That kicks off 7.45pm local time, 10.45am
BST.
Spurs are
advertising a live stream of this game as part of their Spurs Play
subscription package. It's unclear whether NUFC will offer anything similar.
The Australian-only streaming service 10 Play
have listed live coverage of this game.
The Magpies
then move on to the Docklands area of the city where they'll face
the A-League All Stars at
the Marvel Stadium on Friday.
That starts at 5.15pm local time*, 8.15am BST and Australian-only streaming service 10 Play
also advertise live coverage of this game.
(*tickets show KO time as 5.05pm / 8.05am BST)
United's second game precedes the A-League All Star Women's team
versus Arsenal Women game.
Squad details
are awaited, but United confirm that
Garang Kuol will make his debut for Newcastle.
The 19 year-old Australian international forward was signed from
Australian A-League side Central Coast Mariners in October 2022 but
is yet to feature for the Magpies, loaned out to Hearts and Volendam.
Kuol was predicted to feature when
they face the A-League All-Stars in the second of the two games
they'll play in Australia. He played for the All-Stars in their 2022
meeting with Barcelona.
Update:
Ashley loses appeal
Friday saw three Appeal Court
judges hearing Sports Direct's appeal against losing an injunction
forcing NUFC to supply replica kits uphold that decision.
That means the dispute over NUFC's decision not to supply Mike
Ashley's company will now be resolved during a forthcoming court
case - but with the current supply arrangement now discontinued.
Update:
Ramsdale refutes rumour
In response to claims online that a
deal had been agreed between Newcastle and Arsenal for Aaron
Ramsdale, the England international goalkeeper responded by
posting "news to me" on his socials.
Championship:
Fraser off to Wembley
Following a goalless first leg, Friday
night's 3-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion earned Southampton
a place in the Championship promotion play-off final.
On-loan Magpie Ryan Fraser was in the victorious starting line-up,
with SJP old boy Adam Armstrong grabbing a brace to make it 23 goals
this season.
The Saints will face Leeds United at Wembley on Sunday week, May
26th (3pm KO tbc). The loser of that game will be the only team of the six promoted and relegated sides not returning to their previous league.
Promoted clubs:
Leicester
City Champions.
Ipswich Town

Update:
On a pre, in Germany
The Mail
newspaper report that Newcastle are set to spend part of their
pre-season programme this summer at a training camp in
Germany.
Eddie Howe's side will follow in the footsteps of Arsenal in the
last two year by using facilities at the HQ of United's forthcoming
kit providers, adidas.
Their World of Sports facility
is in Herzogenaurach near Nuremburg. Details are awaited, including whether any public friendly match will take
place.

two further Magpie prospects have been secured.
17 year-old duo Trevan Sanusi and Leo Shahar have been
rewarded for promising debut seasons in black and white with their

On This Day in History |
18th May |
Born Or Died:
1958 Howard Gayle born, Toxteth, Liverpool. (1982-83)
An injury to Kevin Keegan in November 1982 prompted United to
enter the loan market for Liverpool reserve midfielder Gayle.
First sighted in a midweek home friendly against Dynamo
Kiev, Gayle then debuted in a 2-0 victory over Cambridge United at SJP the following
Saturday.
Showing flashes of good form, Gayle's month-long loan was then extended and he
found the net in successive games against Derby County and Grimsby Town over the festive
period.
The return of Keegan to the side then saw Howard return to Anfield, where he'd
been on the books since 1974 but played only five first team games for the
Reds.
That had included a European Cup semi final against Bayern Munich when he came
on for the injured Kenny Dalglish and tormented the Germans with his pace.
The 1979/80 season saw him on loan at Fulham and he departed from Liverpool in
the summer of 1983, joining Birmingham.
Moving to the mackems in 1984, Howard was dismissed on his
return to SJP with the red and whites on New Years Day 1985.
Later transfers took him to the Dallas Sidekicks (USA) and Stoke City, before
signing for Blackburn Rovers in 1987.
Six seasons at Ewood Park included a rare run of goalscoring in 1988/89, when
he managed a career best total of nineteen.
Following Gayle's departure in 1992, he played for Halifax Town and Accrington
Stanley before hanging up his boots.
The former England U21 international then returned to his native Toxteth and
became involved as a coach at the Stanley House Youth Football Club.
2016 saw Gayle's autobiography "61 minutes in Munich"
published - an unflinching account of his life and career.
That same year he hit the headlines after refusing a nomination for an MBE in
the Queen's Honours List due to the suffering of his forefathers during the
British Empire.
As part of his work for the Show Racism the Red Card initiative, Howard has
said of his playing career that:
"When I played for Newcastle & sunderland, the fans were great,
both on and off the pitch. But when I was an opposition player at St.
James’s Park, I was spat at, there were monkey noises, and all sorts of
racist abuse.
"It wasn’t pleasant, but sadly it was something I had become used to.
"
1968 Jeff Wrightson born, Walker.
(1985-87)
A graduate of Wallsend Boys Club, Jeff was part of Newcastle's
1985 FA Youth Cup -winning side along with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Ian
Bogie and Kevin Scott.
A senior debut came at SJP on Boxing Day 1986 in place of the absent David
McCreery. Unfortunately that was a 0-4 beating by Everton and United also lost
the other three games that season Jeff played in.
After the Everton game, boss Willie McFaul admitted that Jeff
wasn't ready for the first team and that his selection had been a mistake.
Hardly a confidence booster...
Released in the summer of 1987, former Magpie John McGrath recruited Jeff for
Preston North End, where his team mates included Sam Allardyce. Ian
Bogie would later follow him to Deepdale.
During five years there, Wrightson scored from the halfway line in a
League Cup tie at Scarborough and endured an FA Cup giant-killing by Whitley
Bay (although he didn't feature at Hillheads).
Following trials at Yeovil Town, Blackpool & Darlington, Jeff signed for
Gateshead in 1992, making over 200 appearances in
a five year period for the Tynesiders.
After later spells at Spennymoor United, Blyth
Spartans and Walker Central, Jeff began coaching under Central boss and former
PNE colleague, Ian Bogie.
The duo then joined Gateshead in April 2007, guiding them to successive
promotions and a place in the Conference.
Jeff confirmed his departure due to his work commitments at a furniture
company in 2010, the Tynesiders having opted to go full-time from the
following season.
Jeff's son Kieran followed in his father's footsteps, appearing at academy and
reserve level for Newcastle between 2006 and 2009.
Later joining Gateshead, he played for various local non-league sides, winning
the FA Vase with North Shields in 2015.
1978 Death of Norman Smith, 80. Former manager
Smith collapsed after visiting SJP.

The Gateshead defender had completed similar spells during

Darlington. He wasn't retained by Newcastle but within
weeks had agreed a move to Belgian side Charleroi.
1982 While his side were in action at Hartlepool,
manager Arthur Cox attended the Darlington versus Torquay
United game to scout Quakers forward David Speedie.
Also present at Feethams was Chelsea boss John Neal, who
wrapped up an £80,000 deal taking the prolific scorer to
Stamford Bridge.

The first of four friendlies against the "All
Whites" saw United visit the Queen Elizabeth II
Stadium in Christchurch.
In goal for the home side was one Richard Wilson, who
presumably "didn't believe it" when John
Anderson put the Magpies ahead from Paul Gascoigne's
centre.
Injuries to George Reilly and Tony Cunningham meant that
Neil McDonald was pushed into a forward role and struck
what proved to be the winner from fully 30 yards out.
Team: Thomas,
Anderson, Clarke, Roeder, Wharton (Saunders), McCreery,
Heard (Brown), Haddock, Gascoigne, McDonald, Beardsley.

2006 Nobby Solano
followed in the footsteps of fellow Magpies Nicos Dabizas,
Andy Griffin and Stuart Pearce by emerging relatively
unscathed from a serious car crash.
Nobby was taken to
hospital in Lima, but only suffered a minor injury to the
part of his body least used on the pitch - his
forehead.
He blamed himself and
jet-lag for the accident when he said afterwards:
"Thank God I'm fine. It was because of driving fast.
I hit the pavement and lost control of the car. I think
I've felt the time changing between England and
Peru."
2023 Brighton & Hove Albion (h) 4-1 (2-0) Premier League P35, 66pts, 3rd/20 og(Undav)(22), Burn(45+4), Wilson(89), Guimaraes(90+1) Undav (51) 52,122 United were just one win away from securing Champions League qualification after beating one of their rivals for a top four finish at SJP. However, two late goals made the scoreline look deceptively comfortable after a nervy evening on Tyneside. NUFC.com match report
