Aston Villa (a)
Saturday sees Newcastle looking to extend their winning streak to
seven league and cup games when they go to Villa Park for
a 5.30pm live on Sky Sports
After a 1-0 success at West Ham and 3-0 victory at Leicester, the
Magpies are aiming for a third successive Premier League away victory and what
would be their ninth in total on the road so far this season.
The first meeting of the teams ended in a 3-0 home win at Gallowgate;
another three point haul for United would seal their seventh PL
double of the season so far.
That game at SJP saw Jason Tindall red-carded in the wake of a half
time incident in the tunnel, one of the Villa backroom team punished
similarly.
FA charges were subsequently issued against both parties, Tindall
escaping censure as his charge wasn't proven but the Villan in
question fined and banned.
Both clubs lodged guilty pleas to charges of failing to control
their players and staff and were fined, United shelling out £20,000
and Villa £30,000.
All 3,000 away tickets are sold out, with forwarding possible until 12.30pm on
matchday.
City centre bars with live TV coverage include:
The Dog & Parrot on Clayton Street West.
Frate in the Bigg Market.
Pumphreys in the Bigg Market.
The game will be live at WonderBar in The Gate.
Team: United
have no new injury issues, Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Jamaal
Lascelles all still unavailable.

AVFC: Villa have a fully fit squad to select from.
Along with Liverpool and Arsenal, Villa have lost just
once at home in the PL this season - beaten 0-2 by the Gunners in
August. Since then, 15 PL fixtures at Villa Park have brought eight
wins and seven draws.
The Villans hosted PSG on Tuesday in the second leg
of their Champions League Quarter-final tie. Trailing 1-3, they conceded
twice more before mounting a titanic comeback to score three times, but
failed to find the fourth goal required to force extra time.
After our visit, Unai Emery's side go to Manchester City the following
Tuesday before their FA Cup Semi-final against Crystal
Palace at Wembley on Saturday week.
Referee: Jarred
Gillett - a third Magpies appointment of the season for the Australian-born
official, following the 1-1 home draw with Manchester City and the 4-3 win
over Nottingham Forest at Gallowgate.

reported:
Cordero claims
Several media outlets reported on Tuesday that Newcastle had reached
agreement to sign Antonio Cordero from Spanish side Malaga.
The 18 year-old right winger is out of contract at the end of the current
season, Newcastle reportedly scouting him several times and credited with an
interest in sealing a deal since the turn of the year.
Spanish youth international Cordero debuted for Malaga during the 2023/24
season when they gained promotion from the third tier and has featured
regularly in the Segunda Division this time round, scoring five times.

Young Magpies George Mair and Sam Alabi are in the England U16 squad for the Montaigu Tournament
currently taking place in France.
England began their Group B campaign with a 3-2 victory over Japan
in Ardelay on Tuesday. Goalkeeper George was in the starting line-up
and midfielder Sam started on the bench - we're unsure whether the latter
featured.
Next up was a 0-3 loss at the hands of Mexico in La Chataigneraie on
Thursday, with Sam in the starting line-up at George dropping down
to the bench.

Group A consists of France, China, Brazil and Ivory Coast.
Staged since 1973, the tournament has featured various SJP old boys
over the years, including Adam Armstrong, Hatem Ben Arfa, Brian Kerr
and Jonjo Shelvey.
England's last appearance in 2023 featured United's Ollie Harrison
in addition to Trevan Sanusi and Leo Shahar - who both signed for
Newcastle later that year.

Update:
Defender extension
details emerge
The Athletic report that Jamaal Lascelles has agreed a
contract extension that will keep him at SJP until summer 2026, not 2025 as
was previously assumed.
It's claimed that a deal for an additional 12 months was done late last
year, but no official announcement has yet come from the player or
club.
The 31 year-old defender joined United from Nottingham Forest back in 2014,
making the first of 251 league and cup appearances in September 2015.
Suffering an ACL injury during a home victory over West Ham in March 2024,
Lascelles is yet to kick a ball this season but has recently returned to
training.

Born Or Died:
1984 Death of Stan Barber, 75.
(1925-28)
1987 Danny Guthrie born, Shrewsbury.
(2008-12)
Midfielder who began his career as a youngster at Manchester
United's Academy, switching to Liverpool when aged 16.
Making a senior bow from the bench for Reds at home to Reading
in the League Cup in October 2006, a Premier League outing followed
a month later.
February 2007 saw Danny appear as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to United at SJP -
his seventh and final senior game for Liverpool.
Guthrie then joined Southampton on loan for a 12 game stint which ended when
the Saints lost to Derby County in the Championship playoff semi-finals.
The following season saw him on loan at Bolton Wanderers and part of the
Trotters side who drew 0-0 on Tyneside in
January 2008, slightly spoiling Kevin Keegan's return as Newcastle manager.
Returning to Anfield, Guthrie agreed to join Newcastle in July 2008 at a
claimed cost of £2.5m, signing a four year deal.
Providing an assist and goal on his first outing in pre-season against
Hartlepool, another strike came against PSV Eindhoven at SJP.
Guthrie then debuted
alongside fellow new boys Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez in a 1-1
draw at Old Trafford in the league.
However, his first setback as a Magpie came in the infamous Hull City home game
that saw fan protest both inside and outside SJP following
KK's departure.
Guthrie was deservedly dismissed in the final minute after a terrible lunge on
Craig Fagan that left the Tigers player with a broken leg.
Returning to a side "managed" by Joe Kinnear, Guthrie scored in successive away games at Portsmouth and Wigan.
An injury at Blackburn in January 2009 put him out for three months, returning
against Chelsea
as Alan Shearer became Magpies boss.
Moving from right midfield to a central role saw Danny become an integral part
of the side the lifted the Championship in 2010.
However his top flight
return was blighted by injury; the error that cost United a goal at West Bromwich Albion
triggering Chris Hughton's departure as Manager.
Successor Alan Pardew took seven games to pick Danny and a role
understudying Cheick Tiote followed - appearing when the Ivorian was
injured, suspended or at the African Nations Cup.
Making his final United appearance in the 2-0 home win over Liverpool in April
2012, Guthrie was a free agent soon after, hitting the headlines with a
wedding at Allerton Castle in Yorkshire attended by family, friends and the
local constabulary.
Signing for Reading on a three-year deal in 2012, the final
months of his time as a Royal were spent on loan at Fulham.
However, no permanent contract offer followed from the Cottagers and
Danny joined Blackburn Rovers on a free in 2015.
Following two seasons at Ewood Park, he found himself clubless again, maintaining fitness
playing for amateurs Oakengates
Athletic near his native Shrewsbury.
Indonesians Mitra Kukar completing his signing in January 2018 Guthrie back in the UK a year
later with League Two Walsall.
Leaving the Saddlers in February 2021, his next port of call was Icelandic side Fram
- helping to a title and promotion.
Off the field though, Danny was declared bankrupt in June 2022 after accruing gambling debts.
Hanging up his boots, he became a coach at the TFA Elite youth academy in
Dubai.
2002 Matty Bondswell born, Nottingham.
(2021-24)
Defender who was a free agent when signing for United in
March 2021, following his release from Bundesliga side Red Bull Leipzig.
Beginning his
playing career at Forest's Academy, Matty
left the City Ground after eight years after agreeing a
professional contract with Leipzig during 2018.
Playing for their junior sides, a first taste of senior professional
football came in August 2020 when loaned to Dutch
second tier club, FC Dordrecht.
Joining United's Development squad, he
debuted from the bench for the U23s in a 0-4 loss away to
Wolves in April 2021.
Loaned to Shrewsbury Town in January 2022, Bondswell
was recalled two months later without playing a game.
In United's senior squad for pre-season games, Matty played 45 minutes
against Benfica before brief outings in home kickabouts against Atalanta and
Bilbao.
However, Matty then returned to the U21 squad and a regular starting berth in PL2.
In June 2023 he joined Newport County for a season-long loan
and was released by Newcastle the following May.
Bondswell's next stop was Hartlepool United on a short-term contract,
moving on to National League North side
Peterborough Sports in early 2025.
Internationally, Matty played at youth level for England
with future Magpie Tino Livramento in the same U15 side.

Writing in The Sunday Sun, former Magpie Colin Veitch was
unimpressed,
observing
"there were some moments when Newcastle players
invited disaster to their side by attempts at
cleverness that were made to look ludicrous by their
lack of success."

Four days after scoring the only goal of the
game at SJP, Jackie Milburn was on target once again but finished on the losing

It was a vital derby win for the hosts as they sought to avoid
relegation. They did, by a point.
1949 A crowd of 14,000 were at Gallowgate
to see Hexham Hearts inflict a 3-0 victory on Blyth Spartans in the

Bermudan-born right back Arnold Woollard made
his debut at Fratton Park in place of Frank Brennan,
but turned a Charlie Vaughan shot into his own net.
Vic Keeble scored for United after 35 seconds,
but it was all Pompey after that, future Magpie
Jimmy Scoular among the scorers. "It could have been 10-1" admitted Magpies
director Stan Seymour.
1953 Brennan's absence was due to national team duty, playing for
Scotland in a 2-2 draw with England at Wembley.

An estimated 6,000 fans were locked out and
missed a gritty performance by the 10 man Magpies,
for whom Peter Beardsley was making a farewell
appearance before leaving for Liverpool.
He provided a cross from which Glenn Roeder headed
the hosts ahead before departing through injury
on 35 minutes.
John Anderson was then forced off after a scything
tackle from Norman Whiteside, Peter Jackson soon
exacting revenge and prompting a scuffle for which
Keith Hackett booked him.
With Liam O'Brien in their line-up, the Red
Devils levelled thanks to a long range thumper from
Gordon Strachan, only for Paul Goddard to beat Gary Walsh at the Gallowgate End -
equaling a club
record by netting in his seventh successive game.

1988
Prolific striker John Robertson joined United from
Hearts in a £750k deal.
However he had to wait until the following season
for his debut, as Newcastle's remaining five games
potentially affected
issues at both ends of the table.
1990 After many months of disagreement, fan
boycotts and newspaper editorials, John Hall was
co-opted onto the Newcastle board, by a clearly
reluctant Gordon McKeag and his dwindling band of
supportive shareholders.

Midfielder Peter Garland debuted following a
£35,000 move from Spurs, on a day when future Magpie
Malcolm Allen netted to deepen our plight at the
wrong end of Division Two. United were just a point
above Plymouth, two above Port Vale and three off
Brighton who had a game in hand.

David Beckham equalised Andreas
Andersson's opener, but Newcastle should have won at Old Trafford
for the second time in weeks, to
accompany their FA Cup semi-final success against
Sheffield United.
Solskjaer was dismissed for hacking down Robert Lee,
who was clean through on goal. However, the draw was
certainly a moral victory and effectively robbed
Fergie & Co. of the title, as Arsenal romped to
victory over Wimbledon to take a decisive advantage.
Andersson scoring at Old Trafford?
We couldn't believe it either...

Nobby Solano and future Souness recruit Ronny Johnsen.

2010 The grounding of UK flights due to the
Icelandic volcanic ash cloud left plans for United's possible Championship
title-clincher at Plymouth quite literally up in the air.
A 410 mile coach journey to Home Park would hardly
be the ideal preparation for a game United just needed to draw.
2015 There was a memorable win for the U18s, hitting Arsenal for six at Little Benton.
Jamie Holmes grabbed a 20 minute treble, with Luke
Charman, Jamie Cobain and Kyle Cameron also netting in a 6-0 victory.

Town a 1-0 win over a youthful Magpie XI in a friendly encounter at Victoria
