Newcastle's final away game of the season takes them to North
London and a 4.30pm kick-off on Sunday
at the Emirates Stadium, live on Sky Sports.
Ticket forwarding ends at 11.30am on Sunday.
United go in search of an unprecedented fourth victory and
clean sheet against Mikel Arteta's side this season, after their 1-0
PL win at SJP followed by the two-legged Carabao Cup success - 2-0
in London and 2-0 on Tyneside.
Their final away game of the season sees them seeking a ninth win on
the road, their best ever PL return and something not achieved since
the 2001/02 season - that total including a memorable 3-1 success at
Highbury.
Team: Joelinton
Kieran Trippier, Lewis
Hall and Matt Targett will all miss out, with Joe Willock unlikely
to feature against his old club.
Speaking on Friday, Eddie Howe refused to rule Sven Botman out of
Sunday's game but confirmed that he had suffered an injury during the win over
Chelsea.

Sunset on Leith
Ex-Newcastle striker Dwight
Gayle will play the final game of his career on Saturday, as his current
club Hibernian host Rangers at Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership.
The 35 year-old forward has scored six goals since signing for Hibs last
September and has confirmed his imminent retirement. He plans to become a
player's agent.
Meanwhile Gayle's former SJP team-mate Jeff Hendrick has
unsurprisingly left Derby County after his short-term deal at the
Championship club expired.
The 33 year-old midfielder rejoined the Rams in March but failed to make a
single appearance for them.
And Paul Dummett's time at Carlisle United is over, the 33 year-old
defender departing after failing to help the Cumbrians avoid relegation to
the National League in his brief time at Brunton Park.
Paul Huntington has the opportunity to prolong his stay at Bradford
City however, the 37 year-old now out of contract at Valley Parade but
invited to pre-season training as the Bantams move up to League One.
PS: A trio of former Magpie goalkeepers playing in the Championship are all
set to become free agents, with Tim Krul confirmed as leaving Luton
Town, Freddie Woodman expected to exit Preston North End and Jak
Alnwick's fate at Cardiff City awaited.
Update:
Vote now for Howe
The nominations for the 2024/25
Barclays Premier League Manager of the season have been
announced, with Newcastle's Eddie Howe among the five
candidates.
A combination of a public vote and a "panel of football
experts" will determine the winner, with voting open from now
until Noon on Monday (19th) online here.
Only one Magpies boss has won this award previously, Alan Pardew
recognised back in 2011/12 for guiding his side to a fifth place
finish.

Wednesday evening saw Heaton
Stannington lift the Northumberland Senior Cup for the very first time in
their history, defeating Morpeth Town in a penalty shootout.
3,841 fans were at Gallowgate to see a scoreless 90 minutes during which
neither side dominated, the tie proceeding straight to penalties at that point.
The first eight spot kicks were converted before both sides saw their fifth
efforts saved. Town then failed with their next, leaving Stan substitute Dan
Groves to fire past former Magpie goalkeeper Dan Langley and into the
Gallowgate net.

Following last week's 3-2
friendly win away to St.Mirren, United's U21 side faced Scottish opposition
once again on Tuesday, this time at Darsley Park.
A close range effort from Sean Neave gave the hosts an interval lead before
the visitors found a late leveller.
20 players were used by Newcastle, with Jamaal Lascelles completing the
opening 45 minutes - his first on-field involvement after missing 13 months
with an ACL injury.

Sweet FA for Dan
Former Newcastle sporting
director Dan Ashworth has been appointed as the FA's head of
elite men's and women's development - returning to the employer he served
between 2012 and 2018 before leaving for Brighton.
Ashworth spent two years at SJP before an approach from Manchester United
saw him placed on gardening leave in February 2024. However he lasted barely
six months at Old Trafford before a parting of the ways - the Red Devils
forking out a combined £4.1m in compensation to Newcastle and then paying
him off.
Meanwhile, ex-Magpie U21 coach Elliott Dickman has left his post as
South Shields manager after the Mariners finished seventeenth in National
League North.

The identity of the third

Celtic (a) SOLD OUT
Newcastle have confirmed a second pre-season kickabout, at
Scottish Champions Celtic on Saturday July 19th.
That's a 3pm kick-off, with United
receiving 7,200 places.
The ballot for season ticket holders opens on Mon
19.05.2025 at 2pm and closes 24 hours later.
NUFC state that this game will be excluded
from the usual away ticket transfer scheme.
(There's no relevant scheduled rail work
that weekend).
This will be United's first game in the East
end of Glasgow since a 1-2 loss in August 2004. That was the third
visit of the Premier League era, following a 0-2 reverse in July
1999 and a 1-1 draw on a red-hot day in August 1995.
The most recent meeting of the two sides
took place at SJP during August 2007, ending in a 4-1 win for the
Magpies.
For Eddie Howe it's a belated opportunity to
lead a side out at Parkhead, having rejected the chance to become
Celtic boss during 2021 - supposedly after failing to reach an
agreement on the appointment of his backroom staff.

Born Or Died:
1893 George Stanley Seymour born, Kelloe, Durham. (1920-29)
As captain, manager, director and Vice -President, Stan
Seymour served United in three spells over almost seventy years.
Known as "Mister Newcastle" thanks to his later achievements
on and off the field, Seymour was initially discarded by the club as a teenage
amateur before World War I, returning to play local football for Shildon.
After a brief spell at Bradford City, his career took off after some
impressive displays for Greenock Morton, before his move to Newcastle followed
in May 1920.
The return on the £2,500 fee paid was instant as Seymour marked his debut
with a goal on the opening day of the season, although his side only managed a
1-1 home draw with West Bromwich Albion.
Four solid seasons brought successive top ten finishes, culminating in a 2-0
victory in the 1924 FA Cup Final, where Seymour scored the second goal in the
dying minutes of the club’s Wembley debut.
Stan accepted an FA invitation to join a tour of Australia in 1925 (along with
fellow Magpie Charlie Spencer), winning unofficial England caps during a
mammoth 25 game tour that took five months to conclude including one month
journey time by sea each way!
Seymour’s finest club campaign came in 1926/27 as he was an ever-present in
the Championship-winning side, scoring eighteen goals – the last of which
came in a title- clinching 1-1 draw at West Ham United.
Two seasons later came his retirement from playing, his final appearance
coming at SJP against Arsenal in October 1928.
Nine years later however, Stan was invited to join the Newcastle Board, giving
up his sideline of a newspaper match compiler but retaining ownership of the
sports shop he’d established in the city.
After the war years intervened, Seymour set about reconstructing the side
which would achieve promotion back to the First Division at the second attempt
in 1948.
Having handed over nominal control of team affairs to George Martin, Seymour
took over again when Martin defected to Aston Villa in 1950, presiding over
two FA Cup Final wins.
A dip in results though saw Stan convinced by his fellow directors to make way
for another team manager, Duggie Livingstone arriving at Christmas 1954.
He was to last barely a year though, with Seymour famously over-ruling him
before the 1955 FA Final, when Jackie Milburn was omitted from the first
teamsheet submitted to the directors for their approval.
Stan remained at SJP while Charlie Mitten and Norman Smith
were tried as manager. However his masterstroke was bringing Joe Harvey back
in 1962 to fill the role.
Harvey eventually departed in 1975, with Seymour retiring as a club director
the following year - aged 83.
He passed away two years later, having seen his son join the board –
although he didn’t live to see Stan Seymour junior emulate his father and
become Chairman.
1921 Charlie Wayman born, Bishop Auckland. (1941-47)
Coming to prominence in the football team at
Chilton Colliery where he worked, Charlie was signed on by Spennymoor United
and wrote to Newcastle requesting a trial.
That came to fruition in 1941 and although war service in the Royal Navy
restricted his availability, Wayman showed his goalscoring ability in wartime
league matches (also guesting for Portsmouth).
Switching to centre forward in the wake of Albert Stubbin's move to Liverpool,
Charlie's first game in that role was memorable - despite missing a first
minute penalty kick.
Wayman went on to score four times in a 13-0 home trouncing of Newport County
and ended up netting 34 in the 1946/47 season.
However, he fell out with United and requested a transfer after being dropped
from the FA Cup Semi Final team against Charlton in March 1947. United lost
4-0.
That rift was never healed (although not publicly disclosed) and Charlie moved
on to Southampton that October in exchange for a club record fee of £10K.
He continued to score goals there and was as prolific when moving on to
Preston North End in September 1953.
At Deepdale he was part of the side who lost the title to Arsenal on goal
average and were beaten by West Brom in the Cup Final.
Spells with Middlesbrough and Darlington then saw him forced into retirement
due to a knee injury in 1958, having netted a career total of 250 goals in 382
games.
Charlie's final involvement with football proved to be a coaching role at
Evenwood Town, after which he worked for Scottish & Newcastle Breweries.
Married with four sons and two daughters, Charlie passed away in February
2006.

The penultimate
fixture of United's six game post-season tour took them to
Bavaria and the Ronhof Sports Park.
The hosts were coached by former England international
William Townley, who previously appeared for Blackburn
Rovers and Darwen. He also acted as match referee.
Amalgamating with TSV Vestenburgsgreuth in 1996, they
became SpVgg Greuther Fürth and still occupy their
original ground.

United exited the Coronation Cup competition at the
semi-final stage, comprehensively beaten at the Ibrox home
of Rangers.
A lifeless display brought some catcalling from fans and
even when given the chance to net from the penalty spot on
76 minutes, Bobby Mitchell contrived to miss the target.
Across the city meanwhile, over 70,000 fans were watching
Celtic defeat Manchester United 2-1 at Hampden Park.
This was an eight team event to mark the arrival of Liz on
the throne and involved ourselves, Spurs, Arsenal,
Manchester United, Rangers, Celtic, Hibs and the Dons.
The final took place in front of 117,060 fans at Hampden
and saw Celtic beat Hibs 2-0.
Team: Simpson,
Cowell, Batty, Harvey,
Brennan, Crowe, White, Mulgrew,
Milburn, Hannah, Mitchell.

Having been thumped 0-3 in Yorkshire just weeks
earlier, the Magpies gained revenge over Don Revie's side.
A fine late strike by Alan Suddick saw him cement his
position as top scorer in the league with 14 to his name.
Two points gained completed Newcastle's escape from
relegation in their first season back in the top flight -
and was enough to raise them above their mackem rivals.

First Division Play-off
2nd Leg

After a 0-0 draw at Roker Park, hopes were high going
into the second leg of this semi-final, with a place in
Wembley play-offs seemingly beckoning.
In the event though, Newcastle never got going and were
beaten by goals from Denis Smith's blue-clad goblin
striking duo.
This remains just about the only game either of the
NUFC.com authors recall leaving early - the pathetic pitch
invasion hastening both our (separate) exits from the
ground.
66 arrests were made and 12 police offers injured (of 550
on duty); referee George Courtney forced to take the
players off the field for 18 minutes after the second
goal.
One unlucky student-type in the Bacchus who chose an
inopportune time to ask the final score was subsequently
treated in the RVI for a burst eardrum...
Among those watching from the Milburn Stand were former
Magpie trio Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley and Paul
Gascoigne, who left the England squad to attend.
If you can't remember this game, count your
blessings....it's worth recalling the team Jim Smith put
on the park that night:
Team: Burridge,
Stimson, Bradshaw (Dillon 46), Aitken, Anderson, Scott,
Askew (O'Brien 77), Brock, Quinn, McGhee, Kristensen.

PS: The mackems would
lose 0-1 to Swindon Town, but still gain promotion after
the Wiltshire side were demoted for illegal match betting.
The Swindon chairman and manager backed Town to be beaten
in the FA Cup at.....Newcastle. They were, 0-5.

The Gunners completed the League and Cup double with
this routine Wembley victory over a docile United side.
Magpies boss Kenny Dalglish was probably the only man on
the planet who thought putting Pistone at right back
instead of Steve Watson was a good idea. That's apart from
Marc Overmars - and Arsene Wenger...

United's pre-Wembley slump continued as they made it
six games without a win since beating Spurs in the FA Cup
Semi-Final.
Without Alan Shearer and Duncan Ferguson, only a
thunderbolt from Didi Hamann avoided an embarrassing loss
to an already-relegated Rovers side.

After the euphoria of beating Boro, normal service sadly
resumed for Alan Shearer's side.
A mixture of poor luck, poor
decisions, poor football and poor play - and
a feeling that the hard work had been done - cost us dear.
Obafemi Martins was unfortunate to hit the post and
Mark Viduka denied a legitimate goal for some non-existent
pushing, but everything else was self-inflicted.
Sluggish defending allowed Diomansy Kamara to shoot Fulham
ahead while Sebastien Bassong's red card was well
deserved.

2012 Ex-Newcastle boss Kenny Dalglish saw his
second managerial spell at Anfield end, paying the price
for a troubled first full season back in charge of the
Reds.
League Cup Final success failed to keep Kenny in post; an
eighth place league finish (below Everton) and various
underachieving big money buys, including Andy Carroll.

United's winless run was extended to ten games at Loftus

relegation.
Our own chances of avoiding the drop rested on final
day results involving ourselves, Hull City and the mackems.

to put Mikel Arteta's side out of their misery.
