U21s:
Town Trophy triumph
Huddersfield Town 6 Newcastle U21s 2
Match action is online
here
Newcastle U21s made a losing start to their EFL
Trophy group stage games on Tuesday night against Huddersfield Town at what is
currently known as the Accu Stadium.
The League One hosts took just eight minutes to open the scoring
when defender Jack Whatmough headed in an inswinging corner from the
right.
Town went two ahead five minutes later; Marcus Harkness sending Adam
Harrison the wrong way from the penalty spot after Cathal Heffernan
was punished for pushing.
The green-clad Magpies gained a foothold in the tie three minutes
into first half added time, when a corner wasn't cleared and Scott
Bailey's goalbound shot took a wicked deflection that deceived home
'keeper Lee Nicholls.
(Inspection of the footage reveals that the vital touch came off the
backside of Bailey's colleague Sean Neave).
However Huddersfield almost immediately restored their two goal
advantage; an attack down the right ending with Leo Castledine
converting a low cross towards the back post.
A change of ends brought no respite for incoming U21 coach Adam Lawrence,
who saw his new charges fall further behind to strikes from Joe
Taylor in the 47th and 51st minute.
Magpies defender Charlie McArthur then looked to turn home
another right wing cross into his own net to make it 1-6 seven
minutes into the second period.
Newcastle netted their second goal of the evening on 77 minutes
following good interplay between substitute Joe Brayson and Sean
Neave, the latter crossing for Dylan Charlton to fire home.
Team: Ad.Harrison, C.Thompson, Charlton, Heffernan, McArthur,
Pivas (Watts 55), Bailey, Harper, Neave (Wooster 88), Al.Harrison,
Seung-soo (Brayson 62). Subs n/u: Taylor, Yildiz, O'Donovan,
Waddani.
HTFC: Nicholls, Sorensen (Sway 54), Wallace, Whatmough,
Taylor (Radulovic 57), Harness (Alves 54), Roosken (Ashia 57),
Kasumu, Roughdan (Feeney 83), Castledine, Vost. Subs n/u:
Goodman, Wiles.
Booked: Kasumu
Referee: Scott Jackson
Crowd: 1,280 including 90 in the away section. PS:
Uninvolved for the Magpies on Tuesday was 19 year-old Norwegian
midfielder Travis Hernes, who has completed a season-long
loan switch to Dutch side Groningen.
Confirming the move, the Eredivisie side state that it includes a
purchase option at the end of the season.

Vakhtang Salia was omitted from the Georgia U21 squad due to injury.
The player completed a move from Dinamo Tbilisi to Newcastle on his 18th
birthday last Saturday.
Update:
Stockholm syndrome:
a sufferer speaks....
From the "say something like..." and "will this do?"
school of composition, former Newcastle player Alexander Isak
has taken to social media from Sweden with the following:
"I want to express my gratitude to my team mates, the staff, and
above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for
the three unforgettable years we shared together.
"Together, we have written history and brought the club to the place
where it truly belongs. It has been an honour to be part of the
journey from reaching the Champions League to winning the first
trophy in over 70 years.
"Forever grateful. Thank you, Newcastle.”
It's widely claimed by cyber boffins that the opening two
paragraphs of the statement were written by AI - that's artificial
intelligence rather than Alexander Isak....
Update:
Eddie gets a six pack
As the dust settles on another mind-numbing transfer window,
it's worth cataloguing the inbound business Newcastle have completed -
despite well-publicised personnel issues in several off-field roles:
Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton)
Malick Thiaw (AC Milan)
Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)
Nick Woltemade (Stuttgart)
Yoane Wissaa (Brentford)
Departing meanwhile* were:
Lloyd Kelly (Juventus)
Jamal Lewis (released)
Callum Wilson (released)
Sean Longstaff (Leeds United)
Isaac Hayden (released)
Martin Dubravka (Burnley)
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville)
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough)
Garang Kuol (Sparta Prague)
Alexander Isak (Liverpool)
* we avoided the expression "off the books" as segments of the Vlachodimos
and Targett wages are still paid by NUFC.
Update:
#9 dream
Club statement, Monday night:
Newcastle United can confirm the transfer deadline day signing of
forward Yoane Wissa from Brentford for an undisclosed fee, subject
to Premier League approval.
Yoane will wear the number nine shirt for Newcastle United.
Yoane said: "I'm really happy to be here and to sign for one of
the biggest clubs in the Premier League.
"I'm very, very excited to put on the black and white shirt. I've
got dreams, I've got faith and now I will do my best to make it all
happen. I can't wait to get started."
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe added: "Yoane is a player
who we have admired for some time and we're delighted to have him on
board.
"He brings proven Premier League quality, demonstrated not only by
his goalscoring output but also the crucial work he does for the
team.
"Yoane's style of play will excite our supporters and complement our
style of play - he has pace, power and an excellent work rate. He
immediately makes us stronger."
Brentford's statement confirming the departure of Wissa was
longer than Newcastle's for Isak (see below) but only because they
provided a seasonal rundown of his Bees career - with no gratitude
or good wishes expressed.
He'll become the third Magpie to appear for DRC following Lomana
LuaLua and Chancel Mbemba.
Wissa's international commitments are then set to involve the African
Cup of Nations Final tournament staged in Morocco, with DRC's opener
on December 23rd.
That ends with the final on January 18th 2026. It's unclear
exactly when participating nations can insist on players leaving
their clubs ahead of the tournament.
He turns 29 on Wednesday and hasn't played a competitive game for
the Bees since last May, training ahead of all three PL fixtures
this season but remaining unselected by manager Keith Andrews.
Before that absence, Wissa had appeared in 137 of the 151 Premier
League games played by Brentford since he signed in August 2021 (he
arrived from Lorient after their season opener). Those 137 games (91
starts) yielded 45 PL goals.
Wissa issued a lengthy statement over the weekend claiming that
Brentford had backtracked on a previous written agreement allowing
him to leave if what he described as "a reasonable offer was
received."
United's interest in the player who scored 20 PL and cup goals
last season including two against the Magpies was strengthened after
failing to make progress on a move bringing Wolves striker Jorgen
Strand Larsen to SJP.
The Norwegian forward remained at Molineux and is set to face the
Magpies in their next game on Saturday week.
Update:
Anfield rat
Club statement, Monday night - the word is terse:
Newcastle United can announce the sale of striker Alexander
Isak to Liverpool for a significant British record transfer fee.
The Sweden international joined the Magpies from Real Sociedad
in 2022 and made 109 appearances in all competitions.
(That record transfer fee has been reported as £125m plus £5m in
add-ons).
Update:
Osula stays
With the transfer of Alexander Isak already
sealed, deadline day brought speculation that a second striker
departure was in the offing, namely William Osula.
The 22 year-old was tipped to make a
permanent exit from Gallowgate, amid claims of a £28.5m bid from Bundesliga side Eintracht
Frankfurt and interest from Aston Villa.
However the player who has just received a maiden senior call-up to
the Danish squad will remain at Gallowgate.
One player leaving is Trevan Sanusi, who has completed a
season-long loan switch to French Ligue 1 side Lorient.
That
move that had been in some doubt when the 18 year-old winger was forced off during
Friday's U21 game against Birmingham City with a foot problem.
Update:
Rebel without a
clause
Three years to the day - and almost to the
minute that he scored his first Newcastle goal at Anfield - the
transfer of Alexander Isak to Liverpool was agreed on Sunday.
A club-record figure of £125m* is widely quoted, ending a saga that
began last May when the player and his agent began agitating to
engineer release from a contract that was agreed until 2028 without
any release clause.
Nobody comes out of this with any credit; be it the club who
reluctantly complied with Isak's wishes after failing to address the
situation quickly enough, or the one whose media acolytes willingly
did their dirty work for them.
* it's understood that Isak's previous club Real Sociedad are
contractually entitled to 10% of that fee.
2025/26:
Fixture updates
Here's our take on future changes - all still tbc:
Arsenal (h) remains on Sunday September 28th as both
ourselves and the Gunners play in the CL on the following Wednesday.
Nottingham Forest (h) was moved to Sunday October 5th as the
Tricky Trees play in the Europa League the previous Thursday.
Brighton (a) remains on Saturday October 18th as we play the
Benfica (h) CL game the following Tuesday.
The November PL TV fixtures are due for release on or by Wednesday
September 17th, with the following options:
West Ham (a) could be Saturday November 1st or Sunday
November 2nd - the Friday is unlikely as the Carabao Cup Fourth
Round is that week. The Monday slot wouldn't work as the Bilbao (h)
CL game is the following Wednesday.
Brentford (a) could be Saturday November 8th or Sunday
November 9th - the Friday wouldn't work due to the Bilbao (h) CL
game the previous Wednesday and there are no Monday games as the
international break commences.
Manchester City (h) has to be on Saturday November 22nd as
both ourselves and the Citizens play in the CL on the following
Tuesday.
Looking further ahead into 2026:
Aston Villa (h) has to move from Saturday January 24th to
Sunday January 25th as the Villans play in the Europa League the
previous Thursday. It cannot move to the Monday as we are in CL
action the following Wednesday.

PS: The Magpies will play in the U19 Youth
League, the league stage of which replicates the initial six ties.
That means they don't face PSV Eindhoven or Paris SG.
Update:
Woltemade's a Mag
Newcastle have now confirmed the transfer of forward Nick Woltemade,
who joins from Bundesliga side Stuttgart for a club record fee that
is undisclosed, but exceeds the claimed £63m paid to Real Sociedad
for Alexander Isak in 2022.
He will wear squad number 27.
Standing six foot six inches tall, the 23 year-old
German international flew into Tyneside on Thursday evening and was
spotted inside SJP on Friday. He then turned up at Saturday's 0-0
draw with Leeds at Elland Road.
Woltemade scored 17 goals last season in all competitions after
completing a move from his hometown club Werder Bremen in 2024, when
he signed a four year contract.
That transfer followed his participation in the Euro U21 finals when
he finished as top scorer with six goals, but failed to find the net
in the final when Germany lost 2-3 to an England side including
Newcastle's Tino Livramento.
U18s:

With three wins from their opening trio of league and cup games
so far this season, Newcastle U18s were at Thorp Arch on Saturday in
a fixture switched from Tyneside.
And the blue-clad visitors made an excellent start when Sam Alabi
shot home with only four minutes on the clock.
That advantage was wiped out on the hour by Callum Mills, only for
Newcastle to regain the lead thanks to a 62nd minute header by
substitute Isaac Moran from a corner.
The Magpies extended their advantage further when Henry
Johnson's low 75th effort from distance flew in via a post.
Within four minutes the Whites had replied when a loose ball was
forced home by midfielder Kenneth Mensah and they levelled
seven minutes from full time when a cross from the left was
deflected past George Mair by Aiden Thompson.
Team: Mair, Johnson, Goodbrand, Epia, Old (Moran 46), Finneran

Latest:
Kuol Czechs out
The departure of Garang Kuol was announced on Friday evening with
the Australian international winger making a permanent switch to
Sparta Prague for a nominal fee.
That reunites him with his former Magpies U21 coach Diarmuid
O'Carroll, who made the same move in June.
20-year old Kuol has signed a "long contract" with the Czechs
after failing to break into the first team squad during his two and
a half years on Tyneside.
He wasn't involved in Sunday's 3-1 home over Zlin.
The Egyptian-born player who settled in Australia joined United
from A-League side Central Coast Mariners in late 2022, arriving
early the following year and immediately beginning a loan spell in
Scotland with Hearts.
That did little to boost his reputation and a second temporary
departure from Gallowgate in August 2023 saw him enjoy even less
pitch time at Dutch side FC Volendam.
In between those two loan moves came a taste of senior football
in the black and white; playing in both post-season kickabouts in
Australia and scoring in the penalty shootout that defeated Spurs in
Melbourne.
Eight U21 league and cup goals last season failed to convince
Eddie Howe of his worth to the senior squad and his final outing for
the Magpies was a low-key shift against Gateshead in the National
League Cup last month.
The Magpies may have hit pay dirt with their speculative
acquisition of Yankuba Minteh, but the Kuol punt will go down in our
recent history as a misadventure.

Magpies on temporary postings:
Aidan Harris (Coleraine):
Progress to the last four of the North West Senior Cup came thanks to a 2-0
home win over Newbuildings United on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Aidan remained on
the bench in order to give a local youngster his debut, but should be back
between the posts for Saturday's trip to Crusaders.
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
A winning start for the full back, brought off the bench at half time at home to Sheffield United in the Championship.
Targett supplied a clever pass for the only goal of the game, in what was his first second-tier outing
since May 2018 when he was in the Fulham side that won the promotion playoff final against Aston Villa at Wembley.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
An afternoon on the bench for the goalkeeper as Seville won 2-0 at Girona in
the Primera Liga on Saturday.
Joe White (Leyton Orient):
The midfielder was again nowhere to be seen on Saturday, as the O's lost 0-1
at home to Kevin Nolan's Northampton Town side in League One.
Antonio Cordero (KVC Westerlo):
An unused substitute spot for the Spanish teenager on Saturday, as his
current side were 2-0 winners at home to Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Pro
League.
Tyler Jones (Ashington):
A clean sheet for the 17 year-old custodian on Saturday, as the Northern Premier League Division One East
encounter with Blyth Town at Woodhorn Lane ended scoreless.

On This Day in History |
|
3rd September |
|
Born Or Died:
1948 Death of Jack Peart, 60.
(1912-13)
1949 John Hopkinson born, Gateshead.
(1964-66)
Centre half who caught United's eye while playing for Gateshead Boys
and Durham Schoolboys, joining the N's youth side.
John later moved on to Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United and Worksop Town.
1966 Danny Olson born, North Shields. (1985)
Midfielder signed by Ipswich Town from Wallsend Boys Club
who left Portman Road in 1985 without playing a senior game.
Given a trial by Newcastle, Danny was fielder in a first
team pre-season
game at Scarborough that August.
Later with Darlington, Carlisle United and Colchester
United, Olson joined Norwegian club Kongsberg IF before
returning to his native North East with North Shields, West Allotment Celtic and Morpeth
Town.
Olson later coached and managed local sides
including Bedlington Terriers, Alnwick Town, West Auckland Town,
Washington, Seaton Delaval and Rothbury.
1977 Erik Olof Mellberg born, Gullspang, Sweden. (1997)
File
under "another one that got away".....
Reviewing players scouted in his previous job at
Rangers, newly-installed Magpies boss Kenny Dalglish
brought 19 year-old Erik to Tyneside on trial in early
1997.
The Swedish defender was banned by his club Degerfors IF
from
playing any games and quickly returned home, although a £1m move was claimed by
The Chronicle.
Fast forward to June 2001 and Mellberg was a full
Swedish international who had played for AIK Stockholm
and Racing Santander - sold by the Spaniards to Premier League
Aston Villa for £5m.
Seven seasons at Villa Park saw him made club captain and become a popular
figure, scoring a rare goal against United in 2004.
Olof subsequently played for Juventus (Italy), Olympiakos (Greece), Villarreal
(Spain) and FC Copenhagen (Denmark), in addition to winning over 100 full caps.
Retiring in 2014 he later coached at IF Brommapojkarna (Sweden), Fremad Amager
(Denmark), Helsingborgs IF and Brommapojkarna (both
Sweden).
In November 2024 Mellberg took charge
of MLS side St. Louis City but was fired six months
later after a poor run of results.
1989 Jonny Godsmark born, Guidepost.
(2006-10)
Winger who
announced his arrival with two goals in an FA Youth Cup tie against Manchester
City at SJP in March 2006.
A reserve bow came in the Northumberland Senior Cup later that year against Walker
Central and he appeared from the bench for a youthful United senior XI during a
kickabout at Hull City in August 2007.
A year later Godsmark was
named on the bench by Kevin Keegan for a number of friendlies, but wasn't
called into action.
Signing a professional contract in 2008, a lack of first team chances saw him
loaned out to Hereford United in August 2009 only to sustain a broken hand.
Playing for Ashington, Godsmark made a playing comeback from a broken leg in
2012 but a repeat injury in the colours of Whitley Bay four years later
forced his retirement.
1996 Yoane Wissa born, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France.
(2025-present)
United's latest number 9 was finally signed in the closing
minutes of the summer 2025 transfer window, having agitated
to leave former club Brentford for some weeks in a not
dissimilar manner to his Anfield-bound predecessor at SJP,
Alexander Isak.
Beginning his senior career at French second tier side LB
Chateauroux in 2015, Wissa was signed by Ligue 1 outfit
Angers the following year, but spent most of his time there
on loan at Laval and Ajaccio.
Making a permanent switch to Lorient during the 2017/18
season, he helped them gain promotion in 2020, leaving the
following season after adding 10 Ligue 1 goals to his 25 in
the Second Division.
That form had resulted in a maiden call-up to the DR Congo
side and attracted the interest of newly-promoted Brentford,
who paid a reported £8.5m for him.
Four Premier League seasons at the Bees brought him 45 goals
in that competition - 19 in the 2024/25 campaign including
one to home to Newcastle for the second time in barely six
months. He also netted in his side's Carabao Cup defeat at
Gallowgate.
Announcing his intention to follow manager Thomas Frank and
fellow top goalscorer Bryan Mbeumo out of the Gtech Stadium
that summer, Wissa returned from a pre-season training camp
in Portugal but did then return to the squad without being
selected for any of the opening three PL fixtures by manager
Keith Andrews.
A third offer by Newcastle reported to be £55m was accepted
by the Bees and the player drove to Tyneside to become the
club's sixth major signing of the window - emulating fellow
former DRC internationals Lomana LuaLua and Chancel Mbemba.

What Else?

1898 Wolves (h)
2-4 (0-3)
Division One
P1, 0pts, 16th/18
Peddie(50,2-4)
Beats(8,20), R.Davies(25), Miller(82)
20,000
United began
their first-ever season in the top flight following work
to level off the notorious sloping pitch at Gallowgate.
And sadly, confirmation that they were no longer such an
invincible force on home turf wasn't long in coming
against a Wolves side who had finished third the season
before.
The Sporting Life scribe concluded that United "were
completely outclassed for both combination and pace"
as they conceded three times in the opening half hour.
There were debuts for William Higgins and Matt
Kingsley, while United were without James Jackson and Joe
Rogers due to injuries sustained in a bruising friendly
against the mackems days earlier.
1904 Woolwich Arsenal (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Division One
P1, 2pts, 2nd/18
Rutherford(8), Orr(62,86)
21,897
The Magpies won their season opener and in doing so
ensured that the visitors endured a winless start to life
in the top flight.
Newcastle gave a debut Bill McCracken, who would become a prime exponent of the offside
law.
1906 Sheffield
Wednesday (a)
2-2 (2-1)
Division One
P2, 3pts, 4th/20
Appleyard(5,20)
Brittleton(1-1), Tummon(60)
8,000
48 hours after beginning
the season with a 4-2 victory over the mackems, United
were forced to make five changes for their visit to
Owlerton.
There was a first appearance for outside right Robert Blackburn.
1910 Bristol City (h)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P2, 0pts, 19th/20
Hardy(83)
26,000
United were without Colin Veitch, who was omitted
following the death of his father.
1919 West Bromwich
Albion (h)
0-2 (0-2)
Division One
P2, 2pts, 16th/22
Magee(30, Gregory(40)
50,000
To complete Newcastle's misery in what was their first
home game of the season, Frank Hudspeth struck the
crossbar with a second half penalty kick.
1921 Huddersfield Town
(h)
1-2 (0-2)
Division One
P3, 4pts, 5th/22
McDonald(60)
Jones(5), Wilson(29)
50,000
The Terriers left Tyneside with both points, although
the hosts were aggrieved that a second half leveller by
Neil Harris following a corner was disallowed for a
handball.
1927 Tottenham Hotspur
(h)
4-1 (3-0)
Division One
P2, 4pts, 3rd/22
Gallacher(4), Seymour(15,85),
McDonald(3-0pen)
O'Callaghan(70)
41,038
Following an opening day success away at Huddersfield,
Newcastle made a triumphant return to Gallowgate for the
first time since lifting the First Division title.
"The Champions' magnificent footwork aroused much
enthusiasm" according to the Sports Argus
reporter, the Athletic News scribe meanwhile
reckoned that United demonstrated "football craft
that sent their followers into ecstasies."
Heady days indeed.
 1930
Chelsea (h)
1-0 (0-0)
Division One
P2, 2pts, 10th/22
Cape(76)
68,386
SJP hosted its record crowd as star striker Hughie
Gallacher made his first return since joining Chelsea four
months earlier.
Jackie Cape however sent the home fans happy, heading past
visiting goalkeeper Simeon Millington with 14 minutes
left.
The warmth of the welcome later caused Gallacher to call
it, "the most touching and memorable occasion of
my football life."
1932 Liverpool (h)
4-3 (3-0)
Division One
P3, 5pts, 5th/22
McMenemy(1-0),
Lang(15), og(Steel)(33), Allen(52)
Hodgson(47pen),
Crawford(55), Bradshaw(89)
28,000
What looks like a
classic game of two halves at Gallowgate was reportedly
caused by high winds, six of the seven goals netted when
the conditions favoured the scorer.

Sheffield United (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two

Howsam(15), Roberts(54), Linacre(62)
58,334
The Spireites gained speedy revenge for a 0-1 defeat
by United at Saltergate the previous week.
There was a belated senior debut for Norman Dodgin,
who had represented United during the hostilities. However
he was one of five players dropped for United's next game.
 1949
Aston Villa (h)
3-2 (2-1)
Division One
P5, 4pts, 13th/22
Milburn(33,43pen,46)

seconds of the second half starting, to register a 14
minute hat-trick.

fruitless night for Malcolm Macdonald, who missed two good
chances as England won 2-1 against Switzerland in Basel.
Kevin Keegan and Mick Channon netted and KK also missed a
penalty.
 1977
West Ham United (h)
2-3 (2-1)
Division One
P4, 2pts, 20th/22
Burns(8), Cassidy(22)
Jennings(37), Taylor(48), Robson(80)
26,942
Ex-Magpie Pop Robson was on target for the visitors as
Newcastle lost their second home game in four days,
following a 0-2 defeat by Millwall in the League Cup.
 1983
Oldham Athletic (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Division Two
P3, 6pts, 3rd/22
McDermott(28), Waddle(58), Mills(65)
22,573
After a shock home loss to Shrewsbury the previous
Bank Holiday Monday, United returned to winning ways.
Terry McDermott broke the deadlock when firing home at the
Leazes End, when visiting goalkeeper Andy Goram could only
parry an effort by David Mills.
And after Chris Waddle had doubled the lead, McDermott saw
his effort strike the crossbar and fall nicely for Mills
to knock home.
 1986
Queens Park Rangers (h)
0-2 (0-0)
Division One
P4, 2pts, 20th/22
Byrne(49), Bannister(75pen)
23,080
United's winless start to the season was extended to
four games, after an R's side featuring Wayne Fereday took
the points thanks to second half goals from John Byrne and
Gary Bannister.
 1988
Tottenham Hotspur (h) 2-2 (2-0)
Division One
P2, 1pt, 17th/20
Thorn(4), D.Jackson(19)
Waddle(46), Fenwick(58)
33,508
United's 2-0 interval lead was wiped out by old boy
Chris Waddle - who scored within seconds of the restart -
and Wearsider Terry Fenwick with a header.
The returning Paul Gascoigne was pelted with confectionery
and abuse on his competitive debut for Spurs and
eventually substituted during the second half.

1993 Future Magpie
Keith Gillespie moved from Manchester United to Wigan
Athletic on loan, going to play eight times.
1994 42 years
after the last time they used it as a home ground,
Gateshead FC played a competitive game at SJP.
Unable to use the International Stadium for a
Conference fixture with Yeovil Town due to an athletics
event, the Tynesiders were given use of SJP as a thank you
for letting United's reserve side regularly play over the
river.
2,734 fans saw the Glovers win 3-0, with a trio of
ex-Magpies in the Gateshead XI - John Watson, Jeff
Wrightson and David Robinson.
1996 Midfielder
Chris Holland became the latest United youngster to be
loaned out, joining Birmingham City. The move was later
made permanent at a cost of £600K.
 1997
Having not fielded a reserve side the previous season in
protest at the stadium criteria imposed, United played
their first fixture in Pontins League Division Three
against Doncaster Rovers.
Despite the unfashionable opposition, SJP saw 10,110 fans
turn out and the kick-off had to be delayed 30 minutes.
Ian Rush scored twice and Paul Arnison got the third in a
3-0 home victory.
2003 A
United XI played a fundraiser for the Mary Hayton Cancer
Research UK Memorial Fund at Chester-le-Street Riverside
against Sacriston Working Man's Club.
Kitman
Ray Thompson,
Physio James Haycock,
Martin Brittain (2), Andy Ferrell, Lewis Guy and Peter
Ramage all netted in a 7-0 win.

2004 Rumours on Bobby Robson's successor as Newcastle boss had
Ottmar Hitzfeld flying in, Alan Shearer saying he was too
young and Steve Bruce continuing to be linked. Bookies still
offered 50/1 on Graeme Souness....
2007
An
excellent 3-0 victory for Lee Clark's Reserve side against
the previous season's Champions, Bolton, at St. James'
Park.
Goals from James Troisi,
Darren Lough and birthday boy Jonny Godsmark did the damage,
the latter scoring from the spot after he was fouled by
Trotters 'keeper Al Habsi, who was red-carded.
NUFC.com
match report
2008 Speculation
was rife that one of the major obstacles to Kevin Keegan
remaining as manager was to be removed - the departure of
Dennis Wise from SJP. That was soon dampened by a club
statement that the situation remained unchanged though.
Various sources claimed that different transfer -related events
triggered the rows: the sale of
James Milner, attempts to flog Joey Barton and Michael
Owen, claims that all of the squad were for sale and a
failure to sign players in positions identified by KK as
priorities.
What seemed beyond question was that one of the two would
go.
2012 Having begun the
new U21 reserve league season by scoring six times against
Spurs, Newcastle went goal crazy again, thrashing Stoke
City 5-1 on the road.
Brad Inman scored a hat trick, Marcus Maddison and JJ
Hooper netted and Adam Campbell was denied from the
penalty spot.

VAR played a pivotal role in denying United victory
at SJP,
after
Joe Willock was shoved
in the box by Tyrick Mitchell and the ball
ended up
in the Leazes End net.
VAR official Lee Mason sent referee Michael Salisbury to the pitchside monitor
and he unbelievably agreed that Willock was guilty of a foul and ruled out the
goal - only for the SJP big screen to then replay the video, with the
shove on Willock clearly evident.
