Hit the road Pep! Newcastle 1 Manchester
City 0
Already bemoaning the fact that his
side had to travel home by coach due to an absence of flights, City
boss Pep Guardiola saw his hopes of Carabao Cup glory grounded at St. James' Park on Wednesday
night.
A 53rd minute strike by Alexander Isak ensured that Manchester City
exited from this competition in the round that they entered for the
first time since 2012 - and also lost their unbeaten domestic record this
season.
Before Pep & Co. had even begun their journey though, the draw
for the Fourth Round draw took place and sent Newcastle across the
M62 to the red half of Manchester, in a repeat of last season's
Final.
That last 16 tie should be on Wednesday November 1st, with
the Manchester PL derby at Old Trafford scheduled for the previous
Sunday. Newcastle's fixture programme sees them at Wolves the
Saturday before and at home to Arsenal the following
Saturday.
A Red Devils reunion is scant reward for a fabulous second half display
from Eddie Howe's side, who had struggled in the opening 45 minutes
but emerged revitalised after the interval and set about
City.
Isak was one of ten changes from Sunday's eight-goal record
breakers, with only Nick Pope remaining from the starting line-up at
Bramall Lane.
As well as first club starts for Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall and
Lewis Miley, Paul Dummett featured for the first time in over a year
and there was an unexpected and most welcome return from injury for
Joelinton.
The Brazilian's strong forward run eight minutes after the restart
was crucial; Jacob Murphy smartly gaining ground before finding
Joelinton, who manoeuvered into the area and centred for Isak to
convert at the Gallowgate End.
An uncomfortable opening period for the hosts had
seen them struggle to retain possession and they took 41 minutes to
create anything meaningful; Joelinton's tackle igniting a
counter-attack and Isak playing Jacob Murphy in, only for him to be denied
by goalkeeper Stefan Ortega making a timely block with his
foot.
A slicker and more composed City side dominated and racked up a
vastly superior pass total, but were only an intermittent threat to
Pope's goal - the custodian earning his fourth successive clean
sheet by sticking out a boot to deny Julian Alvarez, with the Argentinean also firing across goal from a tight angle. With
Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes on for Hall and Miley, Eddie
Howe's side were unrecognisable from the opening half; their energy
and industry prompting roars of approval from the crowd as home
players threw themselves into tackles, blocks and clearances both
and after what proved to be the winner.
Gutsy displays from Dummett and Jamaal Lascelles
plus a man of the match showing from Livramento and a committed
performance from Matt Targett saw
an unfamiliar back four collectively defend superbly. They kept out a strong, if not first choice, City forward line who
never looked like fashioning an equaliser. Their manager
meanwhile broke off from moaning about motorways to talk his way
into the referee's notebook after visiting the home technical area
at one point.
A tight calf saw Isak withdrawn as a precaution,
while Dummett went off with cramp and Bruno remained on following
treatment for an ankle knock. It was later confirmed that illness
kept Martin Dubravka and Dan Burn out, while Callum Wilson and Sven
Botman were carrying knocks from the weekend and unavailable.
An unexpected and welcome win over the toughest of opponents
was deservedly celebrated on and off the field at full time, as the upward trajectory of
this season continues. Still fighting on four fronts.... Full match report to follow.
Team: Pope, Livramento, Lascelles, Dummett (Schar 90+4), Targett, L.Miley (Guimaraes 46), Tonali (Anderson 90), Hall (Gordon 46), J.Murphy, Isak (Almiron 62), Joelinton. Subs n/u: Karius, Trippier, Manquillo, Ritchie. Booked: Guimaraes, Tonali. Goal: Isak 53.

The travelling support gave us one second half collector's item,
namely a chorus of "you only sing when you're winning",
something heard only once in a blue moon when these teams meet..... Referee:
Chris
Kavanagh - a third appointment of 2023 for the whistler from
Ashton-under-Lyne, barely five miles away from the Etihad
Stadium.
Presiding over the 2-1 win at Brentford, he returned for our 0-2
home loss to Arsenal - both games seeing him make controversial
penalty calls influenced by VAR - which wasn't in operation for this
tie.
Yet to referee a PL game this season,
Kavanagh has taken charge of just two EFL fixtures to date.
VAR: n/a
Eddie
Howe:
"Pre-game, the run last year was in our
thoughts. It was an inspiration to us and helped our season, albeit
the final maybe affected our league results. We look back on it with
real pride.
"We want to try and go one
further if we can but there is a long way to go at this stage. We
are still there fighting.
"We were slightly imbalanced so we made changes at half time
and were much better. The second half display was very, very good. I
don't know whether we deserved it because it was a game of few
chances but the players' attitude was first class.
"It was a game of two
halves The first was tough and City played well. We didn't but
defended well as we didn't have the ball.
"Second half we were
excellent in most aspects, defensively and offensively. We attacked
well and probably deserved to win in the end.
"There were tactical
changes but the biggest thing was in belief. This is not a
reflection on the lads we took off but the lads we brought on made a
big difference.
"With the ball we were a better team completely."
On Tino Livramento:
"He's trained really well. He's got great competition
with Kieran Trippier for Premier League and Champions League time
but we're going to have so many games this year. It was such an
impressive performance...a great full debut for him."
On Joelinton:
"He was excellent in the second half and epitomised the
improvement in the team's performance. For fitness levels and the
fact he hasn't trained or played that much in the last few weeks,
full credit to him."
On Lewis Miley:
"He's a player of outstanding talent and real potential. That's
why I trusted him to play today - I don't just give opportunities
for the sake of it. He's earned it - he'll grow from it."
Stats:

City last failed to find the net on a visit to SJP in the 2005/06
season, when Newcastle won 1-0 in the PL. Their blank tonight was
the first in 18 games here.
This was the first time since 2012/13 that the Magpies benefited
from the exemption to this stage of the competition for European
participants.
It was the fifth time that the two sides
were paired in the history of the League Cup. Newcastle have now won two to City's three:

old boy Duncan Ferguson
has been confirmed as the new boss of Inverness Caledonian Thistle,
who are currently bottom of the Scottish Championship.
He's agreed a three year contract.
The
51 year-old began his managerial career earlier this year at League
One Forest Green Rovers, his first permanent post after interim
roles at Everton.
However that proved to be less than successful, winning just one of
his 18 games as the side were relegated and Ferguson departed in
July.

Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, Burnley made the short journey to
Salford City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, running out 4-0
winners.
After their first five games back in
the Premier League, the side overseen by Vincent Kompany and former
SJP workie ticket Craig Bellamy have a solitary point.
That came from a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in what has been
their only PL away game to date. Home meetings with Manchester City,
Aston Villa, Spurs and Manchester United all ended with the visitors
leaving Turf Moor in possession of the three points.

It's now
played three won three at home this season for United's U18
side, following their latest conquest against Blackburn Rovers on
Saturday.
A bright start by the black and whites failed to produce a goal,
both Joe Brayson and Darren Palmer firing narrowly wide from Leo
Shahar's deliveries.
Rovers were given the chance to open the scoring on 34 minutes when
goalkeeper Aidan Harris impeded Junior Nsango at the cost of a
penalty.
Nsango got up to take the kick but pinged his effort of the angle of
crossbar and post - United's Travis Hernes rattling the goal frame
at the other end soon after.
Newcastle went ahead two minutes after the restart when Trevan
Sanusi touched home Shahar's centre from the right.
That lead was in danger just four minutes later when Rovers were
awarded another spot kick; Zack Stritch this time stepping up to see
his effort blocked by Harris, who was on the bench in Milan on
Tuesday.
Match referee Samuel Ross gave his third penalty of the afternoon on
56 minutes, Brayson sending Adam Khan the wrong way from 12 yards
for 2-0.
Graham Carrick's youngsters opened up a three goal lead on the hour
mark, thanks to a close range finish from substitute Josh Donaldson
(initially credited by the PL reporter as Darren Palmer but now
altered).
Sanusi was then denied a fourth by Khan before going off - a lively
display from the home debutant the highlight of an encouraging team
performance.
One has to go back to 2016/17 for the last season that the club's
U18 side took maximum points from their opening three home league
games.
Team: Harris, Shahar, Charlton, Munda (Emerson 46), Watts,
Craggs, Brayson (Donaldson 58), Hernes, Neave (Bryant 69), Palmer,

Update:
Colin Ayre
RIP

The passing of former Magpie Colin Ayre has
been announced, at the age of 67.
The Ashington-born winger was on the books at Gallowgate from 1973
to 1975 but left without making a competitive senior appearance.
Moving to Holland to play for Ijmuiden-based Telstar, he returned to
England with Torquay United before spells with Ashington and Blyth
Spartans.
A longer second stint with Telstar came in 1978, before Ayre
moved on to Austria, appearing for both Wacker Innsbruck and SPG
Raika Innsbruck.
Returning to the North East, an elongated spell in local football
saw him still playing Sunday League aged 50.

On This Day in History |
27th September |
Born Or Died:
1916 Death of Charles Randall, 32.
(1908-11)
Serving in the Coldstream Guards, Charles was killed during the Battle
of Somme. He's buried at nearby Dantzig Alley Cemetery.

1979 Jordan Tait born, Berwick-upon-Tweed
(1996-99)

Academy defender who was part of the Newcastle side that won the
Northern Intermediate title in 1998.
Released a year later, Jordan signed for second tier Norwich City after impressing
in a trial match for their reserves.
Joining Oldham Athletic in 1999 and making his senior competitive bow in a
League Cup tie that August, Tait had moved on to play for Darlington by the
following season - initially on loan.
2001 saw him at Arbroath and he later played for Ross County, Ayr United, St.Johnstone,
Berwick Rangers, Stenhousemuir and Scottish Junior club Arthurlie.
Combining playing with youth coaching at several clubs, Tait also worked for
the Scottish FA and served as a police officer.
Later coaching at Ottowa South United Soccer Club in Canada and Finnish side
Kemi Kings, by 2018 Jordan had joined the staff at Middlesbrough's Academy.
1986 Craig Baxter born, Newcastle.
(2003-06)

Right back who graduated from United's Academy into the reserve
side, debuting against Notts County at Meadow Lane in February 2004.
Released by the Magpies in 2006, Craig moved over the
Tyne to Gateshead, becoming an integral part of the team and facing
his former club in numerous friendlies.
Released in 2012, Craig joined Northern League Bedlington Terriers before
returning to the International Stadium a year later.
2016 then saw him exit the Tynesiders in favour of South Shields, remaining
there until signing for Dunston UTS in 2021.
1987 Michael Terrell born, Gateshead.
(2003-06)

Midfielder who joined United following his release by the
smoggies.
Appearing at Academy and Reserve level, Michael's only second string goal came
in a 3-0 home victory over Boro in March 2006.
Released by United in 2006, he later won a soccer scholarship at the
University of The Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, USA (nicknamed "The
Cardinals").
Remaining at the university in a coaching role, Michael later took up a similar
position at Albion Hurricanes FC in Houston. | |

Having won their
opening three games without conceding a goal, United
returned to earth with a bump at The Hawthorns.

P8, 10pts, 6th/22
J.R.Richardson(13), Lindsay(18,89)

What on the face of it was a routine win at Burnden
Park was slightly less clear-cut: the Trotters striking
Albert McInroy's crossbar at 0-0 and the Magpies custodian
keeping the home side at bay with a series of fine
stops.
1933
A crowd of 10,000 were present at St. James'
Park for a match to benefit the family of former Magpie
Wilf Low - who had died in a car crash.
Representative "North" and "South" sides faced each
other, with the Northern XI running out 6-0 winners.
Derby County's Sammy Crooks hit a hat-trick, Newbiggin-born
Ernie Thompson of Blackburn Rovers netted twice and
Liverpool's Jimmy MacDougall was also on target.

Reserve striker Paul Cannell made his first

FA Cup.
Meanwhile, a freak storm
at Gallowgate caused the reserve game against Sheffield
United to be abandoned in the 75th minute, with the
score at 1-1. Kenny Mitchell's goal was erased from the
records.
There had been no such problems earlier in the day for the
junior side, Alan Guy's goal enough to beat the mackems at Benwell.

P8, 9pts, 8th/22
5,171
Future Magpies custodian Martin Thomas earned the

Poyet(75)

A week on from winning 1-0 at West Ham - and beating
Everton by the same score at SJP in midweek - United were
outwitted at Stamford Bridge.
Uruguayan Gustavo Poyet scored his first goal against the
Magpies; sadly for us though. it would be far from his
last....
2004
United reserves lost 0-2 to Nottingham Forest at Kingston
Park, ex-Magpie Ross Gardner appearing for the
visitors.

2005
A Newcastle Academy XI were in friendly action at
Monkseaton College, securing a 2-0 victory
in blustery conditions. Carl Finnigan and Johnny Rowell
netted.
2006
Spotted on Tyneside was old boy Pavel Srnicek, said
to be under consideration for a short-term return to his
former club, as United's goalkeeping woes continued.
2008

Premier League
P6, 4pts, 19th/20
Owen(51pen)
Samba(31), Roque Santa Cruz(41)
44,935
A fourth consecutive league defeat (and fifth in all
competitions) was witnessed by newly-installed interim
boss Joe Kinnear.
Farcically though he was
forced to watch from the stands - serving the first of a
two-match touchline ban oustanding from 2004.
JFK still managed to get himself in hot water, swearing
live on TV while defending owner Mike Ashley on BBC's
Football Focus:
"He's the one who's cleared the debts, he's the one
who's put the money in. He's the one who's got Newcastle
out of the s***."
Awful defending and a non-existent offside call saw United
0-2 down before rookie Rovers 'keeper Jason Brown had dirtied
his gloves.
And
although Michael Owen won and then converted a penalty
shortly after the restart, salvaging a point never
looked likely

McLaughlin and Phil Airey were on target as Newcastle
reserves beat Wolves 2-1 at AFC Telford's Bucks Head ground.

2012
A staggering announcement
from the official website:
"Newcastle United have today given manager Alan
Pardew and his three senior coaching staff, John Carver,
Steve Stone and Andy Woodman, new eight-year contracts up
to the end of the 2019/20 season.
"The club has awarded the long-term contracts to
ensure it has the stability necessary to achieve
consistent success in the Premier League and European club
competition".

Tottenham Hotspur (a) 1-1 (0-1)

P3, 4pts, 9th/20
Wilson(90+7pen)
Moura(25)
BCD
A
ludicrous handball decision in added time allowed United
to pilfer a point; Andy Carroll's header hitting a stray
arm and Callum Wilson dispatching the spot kick.
Ahead through Lucas Moura's first half goal, only Karl Darlow
stood between Spurs and a resounding victory - the visiting
'keeper making 11 noteworthy stops and the goal frame
another two.
