Update:
Midfielder
unveiled
Newcastle confirmed the transfer of Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa on
Sunday afternoon for an undisclosed fee claimed to be around £38m.
The 24 year-old midfielder flew into Tyneside on Thursday afternoon ahead of
his medical, social media posts from supporters on
Friday picturing him at pitchside, holding a Newcastle shirt with number 41 - his
Villa number.
Ramsey was a team mate of Anthony Gordon at the European
U21 championships in 2023, although injury saw him miss England's Final
victory over Spain.
14 goals in 136 Premier League appearances since 2020 for the Villa Academy
graduate included an effort against Newcastle at Villa Park in 2023.
PS: A deal for Brentford's Yoane Wissa is drawing closer, after the Bees
completed the club record £42m acquisition of Dango Ouattara from
Bournemouth on Saturday.
That is expected to allow the DR Congo international forward to complete his
desired move to the Magpies in the coming days. Wissa wasn't involved on
Sunday as Brentford lost 1-3 at Nottingham Forest in their
season-opener.
U21s:
Saints succeed
Newcastle U21s 1 Southampton U21s 2
A
strong Newcastle U21 side made a losing start to their PL2
fixture programme on Sunday, losing to
Southampton at a sun-drenched Whitley Park.
The visitors took the lead when a 15th minute corner was
touched in at the near post by Baylee Dipepa but retained that advantage for
just two minutes, before Sean Neave volleyed home Alfie Harrison's
right wing cross.
Southampton regained the lead with what proved to be the winning
goal in the 56th minute, Romeo Akachukwu
guiding a strike high into the net beyond Max Thompson.
The 19 year-old Irish youth international who spent time on trial at United
in 2023 scored on his U21 debut in midweek and marked his first PL2 start
here with a stylish finish.
Neave netted from close range in the 85th minute but was denied by the
linesman's flag before the Saints survived nine minutes of added time to
leave with maximum points.
Lewis Hall completed the full 90 minutes as he continues his comeback from
injury, while there was a competitive bow for Korean teenager Park Seung-soo.

Premier
League:
Everything but the
goal
Aston
Villa 0 Newcastle 0
Newcastle's season got off to a frustrating start at Villa Park on
Saturday lunchtime, leaving Villa Park with only one point against an Aston Villa
side who played the final quarter of the game a man short.
Ezri Konsa saw red midway through the second half for pulling down stand-in
striker Anthony Gordon who was clear through on goal but the Magpies failed to
capitalise on the extra man and never looked like taking all three points.
United should have been in front in just the third minute when debutant Anthony
Elanga had just the 'keeper to beat
and Gordon on hand for a
tap-in but shot at Marco Bizot. Hopefully not his Jon Dahl Tomasson
moment....
Elanga caused the home side some problems in a positive opening 45 minutes
for the visitors and better crosses from both flanks should have seen United
ahead at the break.
But both sides looked off the pace with the hosts in particular failing to
trouble Nick Pope, who easily saved one or two direct efforts at him. A
familiar-looking back four in front of him meanwhile was spearheaded by Dan
Burn, who made a series of well-timed interventions to snuff out the Villans.
At the other end some decent build-up play rarely ended with efforts on
target; Gordon's low shot comfortably stopped after he assumed a more
familiar left wing role and
Harvey Barnes working an opening from similar range to many of his Toon goals
but blasting the ball into the crowd.
Set pieces were also disappointing with bungled free-kick routines and
corners causing few problems for debutant Bizot who looked shaky but
remained mostly untested.
A point that most would have taken before kick-off ended up as a slightly
disappointing return given the red card, although Villa are now unbeaten in
their last 19 PL fixtures on home territory since August 2024.
Sadly, our inability to profit from the situation presented to us meant that
the most-profile player today was the one who remained absent due to his own
misguided motives.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento,
Elanga (J. Murphy 78), Joelinton (L. Miley 83), Guimaraes, Tonali, Barnes (Osula),

For a change at
Villa Park the atmosphere was unnervingly benign. Chants of "Premier
League, corrupt as f**k" and "F**k PSR" were taken up by both sets of
fans.
After the final whistle "One greedy b*stard" was directed towards the
absent Alexander Isak as stand-in centre forward Anthony Gordon was
interviewed.
Pre-match tributes consisted of a minute's applause for local hero Ozzy
Osbourne and a minute's silence for the deceased footballer Diogo Jota and
his brother.
After the game Eddie Howe said:
"I can't be negative today - the players stood up. I think they
were really good mentally today.
"I'm happy with the point. I thought we were magnificent, front-foot,
very aggressive. We had chances to score.
"I think we had a bit of a lull in the game until the red card
and then came on strong again. I'm disappointed we didn't win. I don't think
we dominated, chance-wise, the way we wanted. We were maybe a little bit too
anxious to score but the players really turned up and gave everything."
On Alexander Isak:
"We do (have to
forget about him) he's not here with us.
"We have to focus on who is here and get the best out of them. The
players are aware he's not here, the focus will be on each player playing to
the best of their ability.
"I want him to play. I want him to train. I've had those conversations
(with him) but the details of those will remain private
"There
is no change to the situation. All my focus has been on the training, Aston
Villa and the transfer front in terms of getting players in - that is
all-consuming for me.
"Alex's situation has been unchanged for a while and that will continue
to be the case.
"Me and Alex have enjoyed a great relationship. I don't think he
would have done as well has he has done without that. Without his
team-mates, without the supporters.
"He is a highly
intelligent person and he knows he wouldn't have had the success he's had
without everybody connected with Newcastle.
"We'd like a resolution, we need that clarity.
I'm not in control of it, only one person is. I've made my stance pretty
clear.
On the fans - and post-match "greedy
bastard" chants:
"Our supporters acted really well today because they supported the team
when we were playing. They've always done that unbelievably well. We have
had some tricky moments.
"I think afterwards, if they want to say something they are free to do
that."
Referee: Craig
Pawson - the South Yorkshire whistler got our season-opener for a second
successive season, having presided over a 1-0 home win against Southampton.

Stats:
Anthony Elanga made his competitive debut for United, the 270th
player to have done so in the Premier League and the fourth Swedish-born
player after Andreas Andersson, Emil Krafth and that other bloke.
Fellow new boys Malick Thiaw, Aaron Ramsdale and Park Seung-soo were
all unused substitutes.
Dan Burn made his 150th competitive appearance in all
competitions for Newcastle (125th in the PL).
Newcastle failed to take maximum points
from their opening PL fixture for the first time in four seasons,
after a 2-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest in 2022, a 5-1 success
against Villa at Gallowgate in 2023 and a 1-0 win against Southampton on
Tyneside last year.
It's now three PL games since the Magpies last scored, when Bruno
Guimaraes shot home against Chelsea at SJP in the final seconds of normal
time.
That was followed by 0-1 losses at Arsenal, at home to Everton and today's
scoreless draw at Villa.
The last time United registered a trio of
consecutive PL blanks was in January
2021.
270 barren minutes isn't the worst spell
under Eddie Howe - a two game run in early 2023 bookended early and late
goals, meaning the goal drought stretched to 337 minutes.
Newcastle failed to find the net on the opening day of the PL season for
the first time since 2019, when they lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal.
This was the third season-opening goalless draw in the Premier
League era for United, after 0-0 stalemates on Tyneside in 1998 and
2011.
The Magpies debuted their green change kit in the PL.

They were also fined £120,000.

Pitch prediction
We've partnered with Pitch
Publishing, a sports book publisher with an already extensive range of
NUFC related titles and several more due for release later in 2025.
Now available "The
Battle for Newcastle United" is journalist Andrew Nagy's first book
- an autobiographical account of a lifetime following Newcastle United.
He recounts his story via a 27 game selection, starting with the teenage
optimism of the 1992 home win over Bristol City that began Kevin Keegan's
second spell and ending with the Champions League humbling of PSG on
Tyneside in 2023.
Without giving the game(s) away, Andrew's choices are memorable - but not
always for positive reasons. A cast of heroes and villains appear; Ned Kelly
and Sir Les are in there alongside JFK, the FCB and the bloke who liked
bacon.
To be in with a chance of winning a copy, we asked you to
predict the full time score in Newcastle's Premier League opener at Aston
Villa - and six of you did just that.
That required a random draw, which saw Graham Bland and Jonathan
Renney crowned as our champions.

Meltdown:
Isak timeline
Sun 04.05 Isak scored his 54th Premier League
goal (62nd in all competitions) for Newcastle - a penalty in a 1-1 draw at
Brighton.
Sun 18.05 Isak missed the 0-1 Premier League loss at Arsenal, Howe told
the media that he'd had a scan on a groin problem and rest rather than
surgery was forecast.
Sun 25.05 Isak played the entirety of a 0-1 Premier loss at home to
Everton, Newcastle's season-ending fixture.
Tue 27.05 Isak withdrew from Sweden's squad for two games in June due to
a minor injury, presumably groin.
Mon 14.07 Isak was part of the Newcastle party that flew to Austria for
a week-long training camp.
Tue 15.07 The Athletic reported that Liverpool had made it know they
were prepared to pay £120m for Isak.
Sat 19.07 Isak was absent as Newcastle faced Celtic; Eddie Howe told the
media that he'd allowed him to leave the squad as he needed "more
training time" but that he expected him to join the club's upcoming
tour of Asia.
Mon 21.07 Isak trained away from the rest of the squad at Darsley Park
but reportedly cut short the session.
(some sources claim this may have been on 22.07)
Tue 22.07 Newcastle reportedly switched targets to Brentford's Yoane
Wissa, to augment (or replace) Isak.
Wed 23.07 Liverpool completed the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo
Ekitike, a player Newcastle had attempted to sign to augment (or replace)
Isak.
Thu 24.07 Isak wasn't on the plane to Singapore and multiple media
outlets reported he'd "told Newcastle he wants to explore a move
away from the club".
The Times wrote that Isak refused to accept improved terms and an
extension to his current Newcastle contract, allegedly seeking £300k per
week - an amount the club wouldn't be able to meet given their financial
status.
Fri 25.07 The Guardian wrote that Isak had been offered a
basic weekly wage of £600K by Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Sat 26.07 Howe met the media in Singapore and had no update on Isak's
thigh injury but called it minimal and was still confident that he would
remain a Newcastle player.
Sun 27.07 Newcastle lost 2-3 to Arsenal, Howe telling reporters there
was "no chance" Isak would be in Korea.
Mon 28.07 Newcastle arrived in Korea without Isak.
Tue 29.07 Howe told the media that no bid had been received for Isak
and he remained a Magpie.
Wed 30.07 Spanish media claims Isak is training alone in San
Sebastian.
Fri 01.08 Liverpool bid claimed to be £120m rejected.
Mon 04.08 Isak returns to Darsley Park but is made to train
separately from the rest of the senior squad.
Fri 08.08 Omitted from the squad for a home friendly against Espanyol,
Howe told the media Isak was fit but made him unavailable for selection. No
disciplinary action had been taken against him that he was aware of.
Sat 16.08 Isak wasn't involved in the Premier League season opener at
Aston Villa.
2025/26:
TV times
The Premier League have confirmed their live TV
picks for September, with one Newcastle game rescheduled:
Sat 13.09.2025 Wolves (h) 3pm no live UK TV
Sat 20.09.2025 Bournemouth (a) 3pm no live UK TV
Sun 28.09.2025 Arsenal (h) 4.30pm Sky
The Arsenal game falls between Newcastle's midweek Carabao Cup Third
Round tie* and the second round of Champions League fixtures, spread across
Tuesday September 30th and Wednesday October 1st.
With reference to the Bournemouth away game, just because it hasn't been
selected for live TV, that doesn't confirm 100% that it will be a 3pm
Saturday kick-off.
The first round of Champions League fixtures take place on the preceding
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: were Newcastle to be in action on the
Thursday, that would result in the Bournemouth game moving to the
Sunday.
While the Spurs v Wolves game picked for Sky on Sunday 28th is liable to
change if Spurs are playing a Champions League tie on the 30th, there's no
similar advice regarding our game v Arsenal on the same day - reason
unknown.
The situation mirrors for our game regardless of that: were ourselves or
Arsenal to be playing in the Champions League on the 30th then we would not
meet in the PL on the 28th.
So in real terms, only the Wolves game is now confirmed, with the other
three liable to possible change in the days following the Champions League
draw on August 28th.
* that is split over two successive midweeks, with teams involved in the
Champions League assured of playing their Carabao Cup tie during second of
the two weeks.
There are no scheduled rail works between London Kings Cross on the day of
the Arsenal game. For once.
The Bournemouth game looks unaffected by rail engineering work on
the Saturday. Were it to be played on the Sunday, trains would still run direct
to and from London but with average journey times extended by 45 minutes and
trains not calling at either Basingstoke or Winchester.

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 - controversially dismissing 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)
Premier League
P1, 1pt, 11th/20
Martins(22)
Fletcher(24)

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.
Macaulay Gillesphey, Adam Armstrong and Dan
Gosling all netted.

Silva(38), Aguero(90+2)
50,816
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.

Championship
P3, 3pts, 17th/24
Hayden(20), Ritchie(50pen), Gayle(69,89)
McCleary(45pen)
48,209
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.

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.

Southampton (h)
1-0 (1-0)
Premier League
P1, 3pts, 6th/20
Joelinton(45)
Schar(28-violent conduct)
52,196
A smart strike from Joelinton in first half added time
gave Newcastle a winning start to the season - despite having to play with ten
men for over an hour.
A clash between Fabian Schar and 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 Schar with a red card that a
VAR check upheld; the Saint escaping with a booking.
