Carabao
Cup:
It's Wor Cup!
Liverpool
1 Newcastle 2
Match
action is online here
The headline we've waited a lifetime to
write on this website finally became fitting on Sunday, as the Magpies ended
their 70 year wait for domestic silverware.
A jubilant Toon support inside Wembley and across the planet saw Eddie
Howe's side take the game to the reigning Carabao Cup holders from the off
and gain their reward in the closing seconds of the first half.
Lining up two more trips to Wembley next week following his England call-up, Dan Burn rose
highest to head in Kieran Trippier's corner and put his side ahead amid total mayhem at one end of
the national stadium.
A first victory over the Reds in 18 attempts going back to 2015 then moved a
step closer five minutes after the restart, when Jacob Murphy and Tino
Livramento combined for Alexander Isak to fire home - the striker seeing an
effort ruled out for offside moments before.
It wouldn't be Newcastle without some added peril and after failing to net a
third goal despite several chances, Arne Slot's side pulled a goal back
during added time following a prolonged and agonising VAR offside
check.
That's as a good as it got for a Liverpool side as jaded as their support
though and following some playing into corners that the watching Alan
Shearer would have approved of, the final whistle sounded to send several
generations of Mag watchers into uncharted territory.
For Bob Moncur, the unwanted distinction of being the last captain to lift a
trophy in 1969 is now banished; Robert Lee's label as our last Wembley
scorer is deposited in the dustbin of Toon history - and birthday boy Alan
Gowling is no longer our last final net finder.
To the list of successful Wembley captains reads Jimmy Nelson, Joe Harvey
and Jimmy Scoular must now be added a trio of names in the shape of Bruno
Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and Jamaal Lascelles - our current armband wearer
sportingly calling forward two of his predecessors for the all-important
trophy lift.
Victory confirms European qualification for the Magpies next season,
although they'll hope to improve on the Europa Conference League playoff
this success brought them in the remaining ten Premier League fixtures.
And for Howe, it's a personal vindication after he vowed to learn the
lessons of 2023's meek loss to Manchester United at the same venue.
His desire to retain Trippier was also repaid by an epic display from the
full back, who visibly struggled at times with injury but showed the level
of competitiveness that made him such an integral part of our renaissance
when persuaded to swap Madrid for Tyneside in 2022.
Much, much more to follow....but until then, join us in raising a glass to
the 2025 League Cup winners Newcastle United. Not with that Carabao muck
though.
Enjoy the game? too f*cking right we did....

Saturday saw Newcastle U18s secure their fourth successive league

The 18 year-old former Galway United winger made it four goals from
three starts at this level, shooting across Forest goalkeeper
Alastair Graham in the 20th minute.
That's how it stayed, with another three points raising the Magpies

Friday morning saw England boss Thomas Tuchel name his first squad,
including Magpie trio Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento and Dan Burn -
the latter receiving a first-ever international call-up at the age of 32.
While great news for Burn, his selection is bitter-sweet for Eddie Howe,
who now has his defensive mainstay exposed to injury risk for an additional
two games ahead of the resumption of club fixtures.

Carabao
Cup:
Fans unite to attack
Wembley price hike
Ahead of Sunday's Final,
the Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) and the
Liverpool FC group Spirit of Shankly have penned a
joint letter to the EFL regarding Carabao Cup Final ticket pricing.
Read that online here
2025/26:
ST price rise confirmed
NUFC have announced 2025/26
season ticket prices and while some other PL clubs have frozen their
charges,
a 5% increase on standard adult prices will apply at SJP - hardly a
shock given current PSR pressures, but a further unwanted drain on resources
for supporters.
Season ticket holders who were on the long-term price freeze deals that have
all now expired will see 2025/26 ticket prices increase to the standard
pricing level.
As an example, adult 1892 Club tickets will increase from £635 (£33.42 per
game) to £1,083 (£57 per game).
There's no increase in junior ticket prices again and the current range of
concessionary prices will continue to be offered - that's in contrast to
several other PL clubs who have axed price categories such as Young Persons.
A new 12 month interest-free direct debit schedule will appear in place of
the previous eight month option.
ST holders currently paying via Direct Debit will be contacted by email to
confirm payment details and auto-renewal will apply.
Other ST holders can renew their seats online via the club website until Fri 21.03.2025 @ 5pm.

On This Day in History |

16th March |

Born Or Died:
1922 Bobby Corbett born, Throckley.
(1943-51)
Left back in the 1951 FA Cup winning side, Bobby joined United
for £25 from Throckley Juniors and appeared in wartime football.
Never a guaranteed starter, he failed to break into the first XI at all
between October 1947 and February 1950, announcing his return soon after with
his only senior goal - a penalty in a home win over Derby.
The 1950/51 season found Bobby overlooked in favour of Alf McMichael, but when
the Belfast-born player broke a wrist in training, Bobby took his chance -
keeping the number 3 shirt and appearing in every game of the FA Cup campaign
after the Fourth Round.
Making just four appearances in the following season, Corbett switched to
Middlesbrough in search of regular football and later moved on to Northampton
Town for a season before retiring in 1958.
Living in North Walbottle, Bobby passed away on 30th September 1988.
1943 William Sykes Wilson born, Peebles, Scotland.(1960-62)
Midfielder acquired from Scottish junior football club
Walkerburn in March 1960 who featured for Newcastle's N's Academy side before
stepping up into the reserves.
Billy's sole first team outing came at the age of 18, deputising for Duncan Neale in a 0-2
home League Cup defeat to Sheffield United in October 1961.
Released by the Magpies in May 1962
He later ran a successful telecoms business in the Scottish borders.
1949 Alan Gowling born, Stockport.
(1975-78)
Striker signed by newly-appointed United boss Gordon Lee who
made his competitive debut for the Magpies in a 3-0 victory at Ipswich in
August 1975.
An Economics graduate from Manchester University, Alan began his career at Old
Trafford and made his senior debut in 1969 while still studying - having
signed on a part -time basis.
A switch from his original striking role to a midfield berth affected his form
and a £65K move to Huddersfield Town was concluded in June 1972.
Three years later though, relegation for the Terriers prompted the sale of
Gowling to Newcastle for £70K.
Although netting in a pre-season Anglo Scottish Cup game against Middlesbrough
at SJP, His first competitive goal didn't arrive until his seventh start for
the Magpies.
Alan then hit form in style, scoring four times in a 6-0 League Cup tie
against Southport and grabbing a hat-trick in the next home game - a 5-1
demolition of Wolves.
The most high-profile goal of his Magpies career came in the same
competition the following February; his shot against Manchester City levelling the final at 1-1.
Having arrived to partner Malcolm Macdonald, Gowling ended up replacing him as
Mac was sold to Arsenal by the hated Lee.
Remaining at SJP during the "player power" episode that saw Richard
Dinnis installed as manager, Alan then exited during the ill-fated 1977/78
season.
Ian Greaves - Gowling's former boss at Huddersfield - broke Bolton's
transfer record, paying £120K in March 1978.
Playing his final games for the Trotters in defence, Alan moved on to Preston
in 1982 but injury curtailed his career.
First becoming involved with the PFA in 1974 (and later completing an MA with
a thesis on the workings of the player's union), Gowling became Chairman
in 1980.
Pursuing a career away from football, Alan was General Manager of a
Buxton-based chemicals company. He also worked as a local radio summariser in
Lancashire and was a Manchester Evening News columnist.
1949 Death of Billy Hibbert, 64.
(1911-20)
1996 Ivan Toney born, Northampton.
(2015-18)
August 2015 saw United sign
this 19 year-old striker from Northampton Town, where he'd been a first teamer
since 2012.
The Cobblers connection was United's recruitment guru Graham Carr, who had
previously played and managed the club and maintained close links with them.
Within weeks of his claimed £300K switch, Ivan debuted against his
former side from the bench in a League Cup tie at SJP.
Adding substitute appearances in the next round against Sheffield Wednesday
and Chelsea in the Premier League, Toney then spent the remainder of the
season out on loan at League One side Barnsley.
Incredibly, he managed two winning appearances at Wembley for the
Tykes, a Football League Trophy success over Oxford United followed by a
promotion playoff victory against Millwall.
The 2016/17 campaign brought further loan moves for Ivan; spells at League One
side Shrewsbury Town and Scunthorpe
United.
And it was a similar story the following season, loaned out to Wigan Athletic
before returning to
Scunthorpe United.
Toney's last games as a Magpie came for the U23s in pre-season before League One Peterborough United
paid an undisclosed "six figure fee" in August 2018.
His scoring form attracted scouts from Championship and Premier League
clubs to London Road and he moved to Brentford in August 2020 for a fee of
around £5m with add-ons potentially doubling that.
A League Cup pairing with Newcastle that December saw him come off the bench shortly after the Bees scored the only goal of the
game.
Promotion for the Bees saw Toney face his former
employers in the Premier League; inevitably on target in a 3-3 draw at SJP during November
2021 - and again in a 1-5 loss at Gallowgate the following year.
September
2022 saw a senior England call-up for Ivan but he failed to get off the bench
for his first cap and was omitted from the Qatar World Cup squad.
And
as
that tournament began, it was revealed he was the subject of an FA
investigation into multiple betting regulation breaches.
That landed him with an eight month ban, returning in mid-January 2024 amid
talk of a big-money switch to Arsenal.
In the end he made a move to Saudi Arabia and Al-Ahli in August 2024.

Rearranged due to FA Cup commitments,
this game took place on a Wednesday afternoon.
Victory was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests, United winning 18
corners to City's one.
Several newspaper reports also noted the lack of
"work" for home custodian Charlie Watts.

With the score at 2-1 to the hosts, Jock Rutherford saw his penalty saved by Villa keeper
Bill George.
George then defied Colin Veitch from another spot kick with the Magpies 3-1
ahead.
Thankfully, neither miss proved costly as two more points were gathered
in United's title-winning season.

After a 1-1 draw at Leeds Road the previous Saturday, another 90 minutes
failed to separate the sides.
Bobby Mitchell then looped home a shot at the Leazes End in the first period of
extra time, before a close range finish from Vic Keeble in front of the
Gallowgate confirmed United's progress to the semi-final stage.
Newcastle wore white shirts and black shorts in this tie, footage of which is online

SJP played host to a friendly meeting between English and Scottish League
representative sides.
Almost 33,000 fans saw the Scots win 3-1, despite England leading at half time
through Jimmy Greaves.
Dundee's Andy Penman equalised within seconds of the restart, before a brace
from Celtic's Joe McBride made it a day to forget for England's Northumbrian-born
duo of Jack and Bobby Charlton.
Also in the line-up that day was ex-Magpie George Eastham - by then with Arsenal.

1992 Barely 48 hours after he'd left Tyneside during a 3-1 victory over
Swindon Town, Magpies boss Kevin Keegan played 90 minutes for the club's reserve
side.
The occasion was a friendly at West Auckland Town to christen new floodlights at
Darlington Road.
David Robinson, Keegan, Archie Gourlay and Andy Hunt (2) gave the Magpies a 5-0
victory.
Responding to one fan calling out "welcome back Kev", KK said "I
haven't been away long, have I?"
Team: Srnicek, Keavney, Heron,
Appleby (J.Watson), Cole, Keegan, Gallacher (Makel), Kristensen (Clark),

1998 An analysis of the previous 15 games for the bottom six of the
Premiership made disturbing reading. Even doomed Palace had scored more goals
than us. Good job we got off to a good start that season:

previously disallowed a brace of strikes by Alan Shearer.
Up stepped the number 9, to drag a dreadful spot kick wide of Matteo Sereni's
goal at the Gallowgate End with the very last kick of the game. We remained in
fourth position.

Newcastle celebrated their 100th game
in Europe by devouring the cream of Greek football, 7-1 on aggregate, to reach
the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
And there was certainly nothing ambrosial about
the Olympiakos display as they were pounded from the first whistle to the last
by an exuberant United, determined to finish the job started in Athens the
previous week.
Kieron Dyer revelled in his forward role,
supporting two-goal Alan Shearer and was behind much of the first half
dominance.

2008 Newcastle completed the signing of free agent
defender Lamine Diatta following extended talks with the 32 year-old after
passing his medical.
Diatta told French media sources he had agreed to join United initially until
the end of the season, with a possible contract extension available at that point.
However he would exit SJP after two substitute outings amounting to just nine minutes.

in four reserve games during a 2-1 win over Everton at Whitley Park.
