2025/26 :
Bantams in Toon
Newcastle begin the defence of their Carabao Cup title with a Third Round
home tie against League One Bradford City.
Third Round ties will be played across two consecutive midweeks (w/c
September 15th and w/c September 22nd).
The Magpies are in Champions League action during the first of those weeks,
meaning that their Carabao Cup tie will be played on or around
September 23rd or 24th.
That falls between the Premier League visit to Bournemouth and home meeting
against Arsenal.
Season ticket holders who signed up for the Carabao Cup home ticket scheme
will be charged £20 and £25 depending on their seating area. Payment will be
taken within seven days of the fixture date confirmation.
Graham Alexander's side reached the Third Round thanks to a 2-1 victory at
Blackburn Rovers and a 3-0 success at fellow Championship side Stoke City.
The Bantams currently sit fourth in League One, with three wins and two
draws from their opening five EFL fixtures.
This is the fourth time that the two sides have been paired in this
competition, the most recent meeting a 4-3 Third Round victory at Gallowgate
for Newcastle in 2000.
The Magpies lost a two-legged tie in the 1986/87 season - beaten 0-2 at
Odsal and winning 1-0 at SJP but got the better of Bradford in 1984/85,
following up a 3-1 victory on Tyneside with a 1-0 success at Valley Parade.
Latest:
JSL: deal now close
Latest: A further bid of £55m for
Jorgen Strand Larsen was made by Newcastle and
rejected late on Tuesday, but it now appears that agreement is set
to be reached on a fee for the Wolves centre forward - more to
follow....
Earlier: Following widespread reports of an unsuccessful bid in the region
of £50m from Newcastle, Larsen came off
the bench to net a quick-fire brace for his current club Wolves in
the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
The 25 year-old Norwegian international scored twice in three
minutes to turn a 1-2 deficit into a 3-2 advantage against West Ham
at Molineux - his first goals since the season-long loan deal that
brought him from Celta Vigo during July 2024 became permanent at a
cost of £26m.
Asked about Larsen's future following the victory, Wolves boss Vitor
Pereira simply said, "I don't know, I'm not the owner."
Elsewhere on Tuesday night, there was no sign of Yoane Wissa as Brentford made it to the Third Round of the Carabao Cup after
winning 2-0 at Bournemouth.
The transfer window closes at 7pm on Monday.
Update:

Confirming Isak's call-up despite not kicking a ball in anger since

"I am very happy that Alexander Isak wants to be in the squad, he is a
huge player.
"The situation he is in is not perfect and he has not trained with the
team, but he is a player who can decide matches and he wants to be part

Update:
U21 Coach appointed
From NUFC, Wednesday:
Newcastle United will appoint Adam Lawrence as the club's
new Under-21s Lead Coach on 1st September.
The 38-year-old will join the Magpies' Academy following his
departure from Manchester United, where he was Lead Coach for the
club's Under-18s side.
During his tenure, Lawrence led his Under-18s team to three
pieces of silverware in the 2023/24 campaign, winning the Premier
League regional and national titles as well as the Premier League
Cup.
Last season, Lawrence guided his side to second in the Premier
League North, while they narrowly missed out on reaching the FA
Youth Cup final after losing to eventual winners Aston Villa in the
semi-finals on penalties.
Alongside his role as Under-18s Lead Coach, Lawrence also held
the role of Head of Player Development (U13-U16), where he was
tasked with ensuring a smooth transition for players as they began
their scholarships.
Prior to joining Manchester United, Lawrence spent eight years
at Charlton Athletic's Academy, where he served as the club's Head
of Coaching, as well as working within Millwall's youth system.
He will be assisted by Robbie Stockdale, who has been in
interim charge of the Under-21s side since the departure of Diarmuid
O'Carroll.
Giveaway:
Compo winner
Restocked for the new
season is the Shearer bucket hat from Football Bobbles,
with the 1996/97 change kit colours on one side and black & white on
the reverse.
These are available to purchase
here in three sizes.
The Tyneside-based
company also has a brand-new range of bespoke T-shirts depicting the
life and times of Newcastle's 50s hero and FA Cup winner George
Robledo.
These are available to purchase
here in a bewildering variety of sizes and colours.
The prize in our latest competition was a Shearer
bucket hat or a Robledo T-shirt and to stand a chance of winning we
asked which former Magpie played for Liverpool the last time we won
a PL game against them in 2015.
It was of course James Milner and the winning entry came from
Peter Cowell.
U18s:
Foxes fettled
Newcastle U18s 3 Leicester City U18s 2
It's now three wins out of three for Newcastle
U18s, who followed up back-to-back league victories with success in
their opening Premier League Cup tie on Tuesday.
Coach Chris Moore gave a debut to Isaac Moran following his arrival
from Liverpool and the black and whites led at half time thanks to
Sam Pinnington's
32nd minute shot.
City almost equalised
straight after the break when Alpha Diallo headed against the post before an emphatic finish from Alex
O'Donovan doubled the lead, hammering a shot home off the
underside of the bar in the 57th minute.
That prompted the visitors into a double switch that quickly boosted
their attacking threat and they reduced the arrears 10 minutes later
- the referee's assistant confirming that Lorenz Hutchinson's header
had crossed the line despite the claims of home 'keeper George Mair.
United's two goal lead was restored on 71 minutes when the ball was nodded
down for Mohammed Waddani to hook in from close range for his
second goal of the season.
Luqman Aideed's finish at the far post then made it 3-2 to United
with five minutes of normal time left, heralding a frantic finale
that was memorable for the wrong reasons.
A mass confrontation
near to United
corner flag following a foul ended with match officials and coaches
from both sides intervening to separate warring players.
Referee Stephen Beresford red-carded Foxes pair Diallo and David
Anugo, while two home players were cautioned.
United's Noel Morgan left on a stretcher with his left forearm strapped
up before the game belatedly restarted and the final seconds were
played before a second half that had been
extended to 61 minutes was concluded.
Team: Mair, Patterson, Morgan, Johnson, Moran (Old
46), Alabi, Pinnington (E.Ndiweni
75), Lucas, Wooster (Goodbrand
71), O'Donovan (Hutchison
71), Waddani.
Sub n/u: Holland.
Booked: Wooster, Alabi, Goodbrand, (Holland).
PS: Newcastle's U18 league home game against Leeds United this
Saturday (30th) has been switched and now takes place away at Thorp
Arch. Kick-off remains Noon.
The other meeting of two sides will now be staged on Tyneside in
January 2026.

Matt finish confirmed
Newcastle have now
concluded a loan deal sending full back Matt Target to Boro for
the remainder of the season.
The 29 year-old was in the last year of his contract at SJP and hadn't
started a Premier League game for the Magpies since September 2023.
Targett made 47 senior competitive appearances since arriving on
loan from Aston Villa during January 2022. That loan became a permanent
switch ahead of the 2022/23 campaign at a claimed cost of £15m.
He's in line to make his Boro bow when they host Sheffield United in the
Championship this coming Saturday.

Meltdown:
Isak timeline
Helping them achieve promotion to the top flight in his second
season, talk of interest frSun 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 claimed that Isak was 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, with travelling supporters airing "one greedy bastard" chants
after full time.
Tue 19.08 Isak released a statement explaining his absence from the
PFA awards ceremony, which included this:
"The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my
position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is
misleading."
Tue 19.08 NUFC released their own statement.

On This Day in History |
|
27th August |
|
Born Or Died:
1895 John Archibald born,
Strathaven, Scotland. (1922-23)
Goalkeeper "Jock" made just one senior
appearance for the Magpies, in a 5-1 home victory against
Manchester City in April 1922.
Beginning his career with Albion Rovers just before the outbreak
of World War I, Archibald signed for Southern League Reading in
1919 following his Army discharge.
Despite reportedly lacking a right thumb, he impressed and was
soon in the first team. However what was termed "misbehaviour"
with a team mate on the train returning from a cup match at
Plymouth in January 1920 saw his Reading career halted.
Joining Chelsea, he failed to play a senior competitive game
before returning to Scotland a year later with St Bernard’s.
Newcastle then acquired John as cover for Bill Bradley and he
took over from him for one game.
A move to Grimsby Town followed in May 1923, where he finally
became a regular starter and helped them to the Third Division
(North) Championship in 1926.
Later spells took him on to Darlington, Albion Rovers once
again, Airdrieonians and East Stirlingshire - hanging up his
gloves at the latter during 1929.
1938 Death of Colin Veitch, 57.
1973 Dietmar Hamann born, Waldsasson, Germany
(1998-99)
Newcastle paid Bayern Munich £4.5m for their German
international midfielder ahead of the 1998/99 season (his
last game for them being the German Cup Final).
Scoring in pre-season games at Bray and against Juventus at
SJP, Didi debuted in the season-opener against Charlton
Athletic - after which manager Kenny Dalglish exited, to be
replaced by Ruud Gullit.
Making a favourable impression in what was an inconsistent
team, Hamann netted five goals including a thunderbolt at
Nottingham Forest and helped United reach the FA Cup Final
for the second successive season.
However they lost 0-2 at Wembley to Manchester United,
Hamann failing to take to the field for the second half
after what was claimed to be a dressing room spat.
That proved to be his last game for the club and an £8m
switch to Liverpool was soon agreed - just days after going
on the record to express his love of life on Tyneside.
Later claims that he was unhappy at the switch of manager
from Dalglish to Gullit didn't really wash with Magpies
fans, given that he played precisely two competitive games
for the Scotsman.
Toon fans would deliver their own verdict on Hamann in
subsequent appearances against them, directing repeated
choruses of "There's only one greedy b*st*rd."
At Anfield he enjoyed trophy success and ended Kevin Keegan's career as
England boss, scoring in Germany's 1-0 win in the final game
at the "old" Wembley, prompting KK to resign after the final
whistle
Having played his last game for the Reds was the FA Cup
Final, July 2006 saw Didi involved in a farcical transfer
when joining Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer.
Within hours though he'd had a change of heart and admitted
to a preference for Manchester City, managed by former
Newcastle team mate Stuart Pearce.
With his registration not completed. Sam Allardyce's
Trotters duly allowed him to move - in return for £400K
compensation - while the player infuriated Wanderers
officials by saying Bolton was too far to travel from his
home - on the Wirral.
Following his release from City in 2009, Hamann was out of football for a
year before taking up a player/coach role at MK Dons. A
faker at a fake club, that's fitting.
July 2011 then saw him on the move again, taking over as Stockport County
manager following their demotion to the Conference.
However, by November Hamann had gone following a failed
takeover. He switched to punditry work and became an online
tipster - despite admitting to a gambling addiction that
once saw him lose £288K while spread betting on cricket.
A hugely enjoyable twitter fallout with fellow ex-Magpie and
former Manchester City colleague Joey Barton came in 2013,
with both men delighting in dredging up various
"misadventures" in the other's life.
1977 Stuart Elliott born, Willesden, London.
(1993-2000) 
Released by Arsenal as a teenager in 1993, Stuart's father
Bob - a Gunners scout - was instrumental in him moving to
United and signing a two year YTS deal.
Graduating from the juniors to the reserves, Elliott
initially appeared in defence but was also deployed in a
midfield role.
Taking on penalty duties for the second string in 1994/95
helped him register eight goals and Stuart was in the senior
squad for the following pre-season (appearing against
Hartlepool, Rushden and Gateshead).
He then returned to the reserves for the remainder of that
campaign, but saw his playing opportunities diminish when
United withdrew from the Central League in 1996.
Named as an unused substitute away to Southampton in January
1997 by incoming manager Kenny Dalglish, Elliott left SJP
the following month, joining Hull City on loan - only to be
dismissed on his debut.
Marking his 20th birthday on the bench for Newcastle's
Champions League qualification success in Zagreb, the next
in a seemingly endless series of loans over the following
three seasons took him to Swindon Town.
Later stops would include Dundee, Gillingham, Hartlepool
United, Wrexham, Bournemouth and Stockport County.
Released by United in May 2000, Stuart bowed out with a
long-range strike in the Northumberland Senior Cup Final
against Blue Star before signing for Darlington.
Within months, he'd broken his senior team scoring duck in
spectacular style, beating Dave Beasant from 45 yards in a
League Cup tie at Nottingham Forest.
After leaving the Quakers in 2001, he moved on to
Plymouth Argyle, Scunthorpe (trial), Scarborough (trial),
Carlisle, Durham, Scarborough, Exeter, Kidderminster
(trial), Durham, Merthyr Tydfil, Harrogate Town, Halifax,
Harrow Borough & Waltham Forest.
While playing for Gateshead in 2005, Elliott also made a
part-time return to Newcastle United, coaching at the
Academy.
Further moves saw him appear for Northwich Victoria, York
City and Grays Athletic, before an abortive return to Durham
City in 2009 when he played just once before the club
encountered severe financial problems and were forced to
release their squad.
Stu later signed for Northern League sides Bedlington
Terriers and Newcastle Benfield, managing the latter in
conjunction with his former SJP colleague Paul Brayson.
More recently he combined coaching at Walker Riverside
Academy with his role at Newcastle United's Academy.
1989 Dean Critchlow born, North Shields.
(2005-07)
Academy midfielder who attended Whitley Bay High School and
featured for United's junior and reserve sides before his
release.
Joining Newcastle Blue Star, Dean
faced his former employers in a pre-season friendly at
Kingston Park in 2007 and later moved on to Northern League
outfit Washington.
Critchlow's next club was Northern League Team Northumbria,
playing while studying for a Sports
Development Degree and graduating in 2011.
Becoming a United Foundation coach whilst playing on for TN,
Dean featured in a 4-4 draw against Newcastle reserves in
the Northumberland Senior Cup final at SJP in 2012, his TN
side losing on penalties.
June 2014 then saw him join fellow Northern League side
Ashington before emigrating to Australia to live on the Gold
Coast, playing for Magic United.
Remaining in that area, Dean later became Director of
Coaching at Tamborine Mountain Eagles.
1989 Romain Amalfitano born Nice, France. (2012-14)
Winger who joined Chateuaroux as a youngster. but failed to
break into their senior side before departing in 2009.
Joining French third tier outfit Evian on a one year deal, 23 appearances and
three goals the following season persuaded Stade Reims to hand him a two
year contract.
Helping them achieve promotion to the top flight in his second season, talk of
interest from Newcastle emerged early in 2012, as the player opened
discussions with other clubs in the final six months of his deal.
That coincided with Amalfitano dropping out of the Reims side, apparently due
to injury - although for a time he was never referred to at all by their
official website - prompting speculation of a possible fallout.
By April 2012 a deal was apparently in place between United and Romain, played
the last six games of the season before officially becoming a Magpie on July
1st.
A first taste of action came in a 0-1 loss at German side
Chemntizer during pre-season, before netting in a penalty shootout against Olympiakos in Faro later that month.
Debuting competitively as a substitute in the 1-1 Europa League draw at Greek
side Atromitos, four more low-key appearances came in that competition
totalling 148 minutes (his sole start was in the 0-0 draw away to Maritimo).
Failing to make any impact, the misfit winger was named on the bench eight
times for domestic games between August 2012 and the January 2013 but never
blooded.
After some underwhelming reserve outings, Amalfitano was made available for
loan and agreed a season-long switch to French Ligue 2 side Dijon in August
2013.
That was made permanent in July 2014 and Romain remained
there until October 2020 when moving to Saudi Arabian side Al-Faisaly.
He then signed for Western Sydney Wanderers in June 2022 but had left by the following May.
1990 Luuk De Jong born Aigle,
Switzerland (2014)
 Over two
years after he was first linked with a move to United, De
Jong joined on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach in late
January 2014 - arriving as Yohan Cabaye left Tyneside for
Paris St.Germain.
Joining De Grafschaap in 2001 (his family having relocated
from Switzerland to Holland in 1994), Luuk's senior debut
came in the 2008/09 season - a campaign that ended in
relegation for the Dutch side.
Moving on to FC Twente for £700K, he was on the fringe of
the side who won the Dutch title in 2010, scoring a total of
37 goals in the following two seasons.
Appearing at youth & U21 level for Holland, De Jong's senior
debut came in a friendly against Austria in 2011, scoring
his first goal against Finland a year later
Signed by Borussia Monchengladbach for £12.5m, De Jong
scored six times in his first season but was left on the
bench in the following campaign before agreeing a loan move
to SJP in January 2014.
Given the number 18 squad number formerly worn by Jonas
Gutierrez, De Jong made his debut at half time in the
Tyne-wear derby with his side already two goals behind.
A first start then came in a 0-3 defeat at Chelsea and he
racked up a dozen outings and spent 671 minutes without ever
remotely looking like scoring a goal. Tragic.
United rightly passed up the chance to sign Luuk permanently
for £8m and he was sent back to Borussia Monchengladbach.
Elder brother Siem then arrived at SJP on a six year
contract from Ajax in July 2014, revealing in interviews
that his move had come about in part his brother's
recommendation.
Thoughts/fears of a De Jong family reunion at SJP were
thankfully dispelled when a £4m transfer to PSV Eindhoven
was agreed.
Ending that long goal drought by scoring on his competitive
debut, Luuk recaptured his scoring touch in the Eredivisie
and also won full international caps for Holland.
Scoring no less than 94 goals for PSV over five seasons
during which he collected three championsip medals, the
summer 2019 transfer window then saw him depart in favour of
Spanish side Sevilla for £11m.
That was amazing enough but this modern-day Jon Dahl
Tomasson then managed to score twice in the delayed Europa
League Final in August 2020 to beat Inter Milan 3-2.
Incredibly, Luuk then joined Barcelona on a season-long
loan, scoring seven times in 29 games before returning to
PSV in July 2022.
His time at PSV came to an end with a remarkable scoring
rate of 57 goals in 89 appearances and he joined Porto
in August 2025.

in front of goal and he beat Steve Hardwick once in each
half.
Topping off a high old day for the home fans (who can be
heard singing "you're not fit to wipe my arse")
was the appearance on the field of a runaway dog at one

Future Magpies John Craggs, Stuart Boam and David Mills all
appeared for the Boro in a game televised on "Shoot" the

Harvey.
The grey-clad Magpies included debutant John Ryan at
left back but were forced into a 48th minute
substitution when goalkeeper Kevin Carr broke his arm.

However, a late Zagreb fightback led to them levelling in

Hopes of Champions League qualification died after a 1-0 advantage from

With no breakthrough, spot kicks were required and after five each left
