Big Joe defeats

Newcastle 1 Southampton 0
A smart strike from Joelinton in first half added time gave Newcastle a
winning start to the season on Saturday - despite having to play with ten
men for over an hour.
What had been an indifferent encounter burst into life in the 28th minute
when United gained a free kick in the centre circle - only for the focus to
shift upfield to the Leazes penalty area that the hosts were defending.
A clash between Fabian Schar and Saint Ben Brereton-Diaz
that began when the visiting striker shoved the defender ended with the pair
locking horns before the Saint fell to the floor clutching his face.
Referee Craig Pawson issued the Swiss international with a red card that a
VAR check upheld; Brereton-Diaz escaping with a booking and incessant
barracking from outraged home fans whenever he gained possession thereafter.
Jacob Murphy gave way to Emil Krafth as Eddie Howe's side dropped into a
4-3-2 and a long afternoon of defending to try and grind out a point loomed.
However that script altered somewhat at the end of the half, as a loose pass
from Saints 'keeper Alex McCarthy was seized on by Alexander Isak on the
right hand side of the box.
His ball infield fell to Joelinton near the penalty spot, who still had work
to do but took a touch before tucking a low effort into the corner of the
Gallowgate goal - taking what was our only real scoring chance.
Foolhardy though Schar's actions were, they did have the the effect of
galvanising colleagues and supporters alike, giving Newcastle a specific
task to focus on that they had lacked at 11 versus 11.
That manifested itself in the tunnel at half time when Dan Burn attempted to
shake an opponent warmly by the throat and the whole side defended the
Gallowgate goal with grim relish after the break.
A plethora of Saints corners were repelled and two opportunities in quick
succession for Adam Armstrong to net against his old side were blocked -
beginning with a fine intervention from Lewis Hall and then followed just
seconds later by Nick Pope's timely tip-over.
As full time began to come into sight there was first appearance in our
colours for Lloyd Kelly at left back and a return to the so-called sh*thousery
that was a hallmark of performances earlier in Howe's reign.
That included Nick Pope going to ground for treatment on a mysterious injury
and some intelligent work from a clearly pumped-up Bruno to engineer free
kicks where no indiscretion was immediately apparent....
Regardless of Brereton-Diaz's sneaky conduct, Schar has to bear the blame
for being suckered into a response that will sideline him for three matches
- and increase the pressure on his club to part with an outrageous amount of
money for Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi.

Thanks to everyone who entered our score prediction competition to win a
2024/25 NUFC replica shirt. We'll reveal the winner here on Sunday morning.
Eddie Howe said:
"It wasn’t an enjoyable game to experience.
"The result is unbelievable for us, but how we got there was very, very
difficult. The sending off changed the game completely.
"We knew what type of game it would be. Before the sending off we
had our moments, but we weren’t in control of the game.
"I don’t know if a sending off ever truly helps you, but it gets the
crowd to inspire you – and that made a difference.
"Last season we scored a huge amount of goals but conceded too
many. The guys with ten men produced a really good defensive
performance.
"To a man we were blocking shots, we were covering space very well. On
another day we could have played better with the ball.
"Emil (Krafth) came on in a difficult game, and I thought
he was magnificent for us. He’s so reliable, has never let us down, and it
was a brilliant performance from him.
"We have to grab that sentiment because the season we finished fourth,
we had that running through us. We were written off, we were criticised, we
were… you name it, there was a lot of stuff thrown at us.
"Of course then when you’re successful, a lot of plaudits come
and that’s dangerous sometimes. I’m not saying you want criticism, but
you want to feel like you’re fighting against the odds.
"I’ll certainly take that mindset from today because we were
against the odds, we were fighting to try to get something from the game and
the players did that magnificently.”
On the red card:
"I think it’s really harsh on Fabi, but I think we all know that you
can’t give the referee the possibility to even give the red card, so that’s
something we’ll learn from.
"The big question is do you want a red card for that. Does Fabi’s
action alone warrant a red card? I’m not sure.”
On Bruno Guimaraes:
"Defensively he covered every blade of grass. He was immense
today."
On possible acquisitions:
"Of course, we’re looking in the transfer market. We’ve got a
period of time left, and we’ll see what we can do.
"Could we do something in the market? Possibly, but conditions have
to be right for us.
"As I’ve said all along, we can’t do something that goes against
the long-term good of the football club, so we’ll try to make the right
decision."
On Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles.
"I wouldn’t expect either player back for months. I don’t want to
be too specific, but I think they’re both about halfway through their
timetable to return.
"There’s still a long way ahead for both players: they’re looking
good at the moment, but there’s a lot of work ahead for them.”
Referee:
Craig Pawson
- the South Yorkshire official took two Newcastle games last season; the
1-0 PL home win over Brentford and 3-0 FA Cup success at the mackems. Bruno

Boro bairns edge
it
Newcastle U18s 0 Boro U18s 1
A 53rd minute strike from Frankie Coulson
proved to be the difference between the two sides in Saturday's U18 Premier
League season opener at Little Benton.
A sweetly-struck effort from the visiting captain found the top corner
of Adam Harrison's goal and gave the Teessiders a lead that they preserved
despite a late fight back from the home side.
Debutant Mason Miley (brother of Lewis and Jamie) forced Oliver Lloyd into a
routine stop on 78 minutes, Matthew Taylor shooting against the Boro goal
frame soon after.
Miley again worked an opening but couldn't find the target before fellow
substitute Matheos Ferreira broke forward from the right in the final minute
of normal time - but could only drive into the side netting.
Team: Harrison, Tika-Lemba (Johnson 76), Durrant (Wooster 89), Watts,
Craggs, Cogdon (Miley 64), Brayson (Ferreira 64), Waddani, Neave, Taylor,
Bloomer. Sub n/u: Jones.
Latest:
LNER strikes called
From BBC, Friday:
Train drivers at London North Eastern Railway (LNER) are set to
strike every weekend in September, October and two in November,
union bosses have announced.
Aslef, which represents train
drivers, said the walkouts at LNER were due to a breakdown in
industrial relations and agreements.
The fresh strike action is
separate from an ongoing pay dispute with all train companies, which
edged closer to being resolved in England this week after a new pay
offer.
LNER, which operates services on
the East Coast Mainline between London and Edinburgh and is run by
the government, said it was "surprised and disappointed"
by the announcement following recent talks.
Aslef said its member drivers at
LNER would walk out every Saturday between 31 August and 9 November
and on every Sunday from 1 September to 10 November.
The fresh walkouts, which total
22 days, are separate to the long-running row over train driver
wages at 16 train companies, which looks set to be resolved in
England following a new pay offer made this week.
Latest:
Eagles dared
Eddie Howe refused to be drawn on the subject in Friday's press
conference, but it's widely reported that Newcastle have returned
with a further increased bid for Crystal Palace's England defender Marc Guehi.
The Eagles kick off the new season at Brentford on Sunday.
2024/25:
U21s live stream
Newcastle have announced that they will provide a free live stream
of Monday's PL2 season opener against the mackems on their
recently-launched app.
The game is a 7pm kick-off at Whitley Park.
Meanwhile Newcastle U21s were given a bye in the First Round of this
season's Northumberland Senior Cup when the draw took place at SJP
on Thursday.
The Magpies second string lifted the cup back in May and enter at
the Quarter Final Stage.
First Round draw:
Blyth Town v West Allotment Celtic
Newcastle University v Blyth Spartans
North Shields v Ashington
Bedlington Terriers v Newcastle Blue Star
Alnwick Town v Prudhoe YC
Whitley Bay v Heaton Stannington
Morpeth Town v Newcastle Benfield
Ties to be played on or before October 5th.
2024/25:
Sandro clarification
From NUFC, Wednesday:
Newcastle United can announce that Sandro Tonali will return to
selection on Wednesday 28th August 2024 following the conclusion of his
ten-month ban from competitive football.
The club has received formal
confirmation from the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) that the
player’s sporting sanction will run up to and including Tuesday 27th
August.
Assuming our Carabao Cup visit to Nottingham Forest takes place on
Wednesday 28th August, the player will be eligible to feature at the City
Ground.
Carabao
Cup:
Cup date awaited
Wednesday's Carabao Cup Second Round draw gave Newcastle an away tie against
fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest - the third time in just
eight seasons that we've met them in this competition.
Second Round ties take place in the week commencing Monday August 26th and
all
ties in the competition are televised live in the UK this season by Sky
Sports.
For the Magpies that will fall between a Sunday trip to Bournemouth and the
visit of Spurs to Gallowgate the following Sunday.
Forest meanwhile are at Southampton the Saturday before and host Wolves the
following Saturday.
The tie will come ahead of the league double header, with United at the City
Ground in November and Nuno Espirito Santo's side on Tyneside in February
2025.
And it provides an early opportunity for Newcastle's Odysseas Vlachodimos
and Forest's Elliot Anderson to face their former clubs. Matz Sels and Chris
Wood also feature in the Forest squad.
This will be the fifth time that the two clubs have been paired in this
competition:
2018/19 lost 1-3 (a) R2
2017/18 lost 2-3 (h) R2
2011/12 won 4-3 (a) R3
1974/75 won 3-0 (h) R2R
1974/75 drew 1-1 (a) R2
It's the seventh successive domestic cup away draw that Newcastle have received
since Manchester City visited SJP in last season's Carabao Cup Third
Round.
And since visiting Tranmere Rovers in August 2022, Eddie Howe's side have
been involved in nine successive all Premier League ties in this
competition.
A result must be achieved on the night - if the score is tied after 90
minutes a penalty shootout will ensue.
Northern Section ties:
Barnsley v Sheffield United
Barrow v Derby County
Blackburn Rovers v Blackpool
Everton v Doncaster Rovers
Fleetwood Town v Rotherham United

Charity
effort continues:
Run for home
Magpies fan Matthew Smith is
currently running an 800+ mile route between Bournemouth and
Newcastle, taking in all 20 Premier League grounds.
He's the founder of If U Care Share, a charity based
in Chester-le-Street that carries out suicide prevention workshops
and associated work. 
Matthew has taken on this challenge in an attempt to bridge a
funding gap affected his charity that he estimates at £135,000.
Having visited ten grounds on the south coast and in the London
area, he's now knocked off Ipswich and aims to arrive back in
Newcastle in time for the Spurs home game at the end of the
month.

Update:
James: come home
The Middlesbrough Gazette report that Boro U18s head coach James
Marwood has left his post to become Newcastle's assistant coach at that
level.
Now aged 34, James began his playing career at the Magpies, reaching the
reserves before his eventual release in 2009. He then served various clubs
including Gateshead before embarking on a coaching career.
It's yet to be announced who will lead the U18s this season, amid
speculation that existing U18 assistant Chris Moore is set to step up into
that role.

What Else?
1963
Huddersfield Town (h)
5-1 (3-0)
Friendly
Hilley(15), McGarry(24),
Taylor(36,88,89)
Balderstone(51)
12,622
Newcastle fans had their
first sight of new signing Colin Taylor following his
arrival from Walsall - and he lived up to his
Cannonball nickname with a well-struck treble.
Does anyone
have a copy of the match programme/teamsheet for this game that
they can scan or sell us please?
 1968
Burnley (a)
0-1 (0-1)
Division One
P3, 2pts, 18th/22
og(McNamee)(24)
13,500
After 1-1 draws at home to West Ham and at
Sheffield Wednesday, an own goal from John McNamee saw
United leave Turf Moor empty-handed.
Our reserve side meanwhile beat their Burnley
counterparts 2-1 at SJP, thanks to goals from Eric
Ross and Keith Dyson.
And the N's junior side also picked up two points,
winning 2-0 at Bradford Park Avenue with Longstaff and
Artie Lumdson on target.
 1974
Coventry City (h)
3-2 (1-0)
Division One
P1, 2pts, 3rd/22
Kennedy(16), Macdonald(60), Howard(86)
Alderson(83), Hutchison(90)
35,950
Having ended the previous season with a
winless eight game run that included the FA Cup
Final defeat by Liverpool, United made a winning
start to the new campaign.
There were league debuts for both Mickey Burns and Glenn Keeley,
Manager Joe Harvey commenting that, "there is so
much talent in this club we have to do something."
It was to be his final season in charge.
1983 AEK Athens (Greece) (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Friendly
15,469
Defensive pair Jeff Clarke and John Anderson both
saw goals chalked off against an AEK side managed by
Tynesider John Barnwell and featuring Chelsea old boy
Tommy Langley and former Gunner/Toffee Trevor Ross.
Team: Carr,
Anderson, Ryan, McCreery, Clarke, Carney, Keegan,
McDonald (Wharton 60), Varadi, McDermott (Trewick 60),
Waddle.
Subs n/u: Thomas, Hedworth, Haddock.
 1985
Southampton (a)
1-1 (0-1)
Division One
P1, 1pt, 11th/22
Beardsley(49pen)
Puckett(42)
16,401
Midfielder Alan Davies made his debut on
the opening day of the season, while newly -installed
caretaker boss Willie McFaul handed Paul Gascoigne a first senior start at The Dell.
 1990
Dunfermline Athletic (Scotland) (a) 0-0 (0-0)
Friendly
3,500
The Magpies motored to the Kingdom of Fife to appear
in a testimonial for Norrie McCathy at East End Park.
Thanks to our well-informed readership, we can tell
you that Norrie was the Pars' longest serving player
and captained the team through the late '80s &
early '90s.
Team: Wright,
Ranson (Bradshaw), Sweeney, Aitken, Kristensen, Scott,
Simpson (Clarke), O'Brien, Quinn (Robinson), McGhee,
Askew.
Famously (in Dunfermline) when the Pars topped
the SPL in 1989, it was the front page headline on the
Daily Record. Their second story was that the Berlin Wall had come down the same
day...
(thanks
to Ian "Fifer" Ferguson)
 1996
Everton (a)
0-2 (0-2)
Premier League
P1, 0pts, 17th/18
Unsworth(29pen),
Speed(40)
40,117
League debut for Alan Shearer, who scored
with a header, unfortunately and inexplicably
disallowed.
At the other end Everton were awarded a ludicrous
penalty when Duncan Ferguson pulled Steve Watson to
the ground before dramatically falling over him. David
Unsworth netted it while Gary Speed got the other.
2000 The saga of Duncan Ferguson's return to
Goodison finally came to an end. United refused to
compensate the Scot for unpaid bonuses and Bobby
berated Ferguson's agent after the deal was done,
following a week of on-off-on-off headlines.
 2003
Leeds United (a)
2-2 (1-1)
Premiership
P1, 1pt, 11th/20
Shearer(20pen,88)
Viduka(24), Smith(57)
36,766
Gary Speed and Olivier Bernard had Alan Shearer to
thank for digging them out of their respective
holes, his brace salvaging a point
after his colleagues' blunders let in future
Magpies Mark Viduka and Alan Smith.
Lee Bowyer debuted for Newcastle on his return to
Elland Road, while David Batty appeared from the bench
for the home side and was applauded by both sets of
fans.
NUFC.com match
report
2005 In the wake of
the furore following our Highbury season opener, the
FA opted to reschedule their appointments in order to
avoid sending buffoon Barry Knight to SJP.
Instead, Dermot Gallacher was selected to officiate
Newcastle's home game against West Ham - where he
would controversially dismiss Paul Konchesky for what
looked like a decent challenge on Jermaine Jenas, whom
Steve Bennett had sent off at Arsenal.
 2008
Manchester United (a) 1-1 (1-1)

The Manc muppets aired their "Cheer
up Kevin Keegan" nonsense but needn't
have bothered as KK beamed his way out of Old Trafford
with a deserved point.
But perhaps it could have been
all three....
With the home side already
missing some big names, they lost Michael Carrick and
Ryan Giggs in the second half and our best chance in
decades to beat the Red Devils on their own patch
suddenly presented itself.
Jonas Gutierrez had an
outstanding debut, Fabricio Coloccini steadied the defence and with Danny Guthrie industrious in
midfield, our lads steadily grew in confidence.
Obafemi Martins headed the visitors ahead from
Guthrie's corner at the Stretford End, but within two
minutes the Red Devils were level, Newcastle
temporarily a man short as Steven Taylor received
treatment.
Despite the optimism of this result, it was ill-fortune of that nature - plus countless
incidents of self-harm - that contributed to our
demotion the following May.

The U21s made a winning start to their home campaign, beating Wolves 3-1 at SJP.

Silva(38), Aguero(90+2)

What was to be the
final season of Alan Pardew's time at SJP began with a decent display against the
Premier League Champions but a seventeenth
successive failure to beat the Citizens.
Six players debuted for United; Remy Cabella, Jack
Colback, Daryl Janmaat and Emmanuel Riviere in
started and Rolando Aarons and Ayoze Perez came off
the bench.

Hayden(20), Ritchie(50pen), Gayle(69,89)
McCleary(45pen)

It proved to be third time lucky for United,
following defeats by Fulham and Huddersfield Town.
Rafa Benitez saw three of his summer signings find the net, Isaac Hayden,
Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle's brace helping United to
their first Championship victory since 2010.

1-3 (0-1)
Premier League
P2, 0pts, 17th/20
Shelvey(90+3)
Pukki(32,63,75)
27,059
United made it two defeats out of two with a poor showing at Carrow
Road as Teemu Pukki helped himself to his first
City hat-trick.
Jonjo Shelvey hit a late consolation for United but it was way too little
and way too late for Steve Bruce's side who were soundly beaten by the
manager's former club.
There was a debut for Swedish defender Emil Krafth,
at right back.
