No goals again
on the road
Bournemouth 0 Newcastle 0
Newcastle returned to Premier League action at the Vitality Stadium
on Sunday afternoon and the scoreless away run continued; now three
in a row after the stalemates at Aston Villa and Leeds United.
Eddie Howe made seven changes to the side that faced Barcelona on
Thursday with Lewis Hall, Malick Thiaw, Lewis Miley and Joe Willock
making their first Premier League starts of the season.
That saw Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and Harvey
Barnes all on the bench, as was Anthony Elanga who had started
against Barcelona.
Nick Pope used his feet to save from Alejandro Jimenez early on and
Jacob Murphy had a near post effort smothered by Djordje Petrovic.
Then David Brooks had a goal disallowed after the linesman flagged
which was eventually confirmed by VAR which also confirmed that
Sandro Tonali wasn't guilty of a handball from a corner flicked on
by Sven Botman.
The Italian fired an effort that flew over the bar at the other end
but as the half wore on there were less and less threats on goal.
After the break, the main talking point for United was when Nick Woltemade clearly
had his shirt pulled by Bafode Diakite in the box but after referee
Rob Jones didn't give the decision, VAR didn't overturn it.
Thiaw was booked for a deliberate handball and minutes later was
lucky not to get a second yellow when he upended Ryan Christie and
thankfully the home side made a mess of the free-kick.
The Cherries had another chance from a set-piece on the edge of the
box but substitute Justin Kluivert's low shot was saved by Pope as
the game petered out to its scoreless conclusion.
That left the Magpies in 13th position which was where they
remained after the final game of the weekend.
Team: Pope, Livramento, Thiaw (Lascelles 84), Botman, Burn,
Hall, L.Miley, Tonali, J.Murphy (Elanga 62), Willock (Barnes 62),
Woltemade (Osula 84).
Subs n/u: Ramsdale, Trippier, Krafth, Joelinton, Guimaraes.
Booked: Thiaw.
AFCB: Petrovic, Jimenez (Hill 46), Diakite, Senesi,
Truffert, Adams, Scott (Christie 63), Semenyo, Tavernier (Adli 75) ,
Brooks (Kluivert 63), Evanilson.
Subs n/u: Dennis, Doak, Kroupi, Milosavljevic, Soler.
Booked: Jimenez, Diakite.
Crowd: 11,212 including a sold out away
section.
After the game Eddie Howe said:
"We showed the strength of our squad today because I did think it
was a good performance without being a match-winning one.
"We used a lot of different players, so that's a really
positive sign.
"I think there were some really good things within our performance.
"Defensively, we were really good. You want to see the team
defending our box well, hard to play against, strong, robust, and I
think we were all those things.
"Obviously, the concern for us is that we weren't free-flowing
in creating the amount of chances we would want, but it's a very
difficult place to come. I think a point here is a good result.
"If you look at the games we've played, it's not by luck that
we've kept these clean sheets.
"Yes, Nick (Pope) made a couple of good saves, but it
was the performance of the team that was cohesive and minimised
space for them.
"We weren't as aggressive, but it was a mixture of Wednesday
and getting the best out of our players.
"We pride ourselves on scoring goals and being an attacking
team, but we're evolving as a team.
"We're not going to be the same team as last year. We need to
find different ways to score and attack, but we have the players to
do it.
"We know Bournemouth are a really good team. We limited them to long
shots and Nick made some good saves. We didn't get our
attacking game going.
"It's not good. You want to create chances and clear-cut
chances. I didn't feel that in our performance."
On Malick Thiaw:
"I thought we saw his qualities as an outstanding player. He's
got a little bit of everything physically and technically, and he
wants to defend.
"Very promising debut from him. I withdrew him because he was
getting fatigued at the end."
Referee:
Robert Jones - first appointment of the season involving Newcastle
for the Merseyside whistler, last seen taking charge of our 3-0 win
at Leicester City in April.
VAR: Matthew Donohue
Stats:
Following goalless encounters at Aston Villa and Leeds United, this
stalemate means that Newcastle have drawn three successive
away league games 0-0 for the first time in the Premier League.
One has to go back to the 1969/70 First Division season for
the most recent occasion before this current campaign.
The Magpies are now winless in all seven Premier League meetings with the
Cherries on Tyneside and in Dorset since Eddie Howe left his post as
Bournemouth boss back in 2020.
Howe has led United to victory over his former club once - a 1-0
success at SJP in the Carabao Cup during 2022.

U19s narrow defeat
Newcastle U19s 2 Barcelona U19s 3
Newcastle's U19 side began their UEFA U19 Youth League fixtures on Thursday
afternoon with
the toughest possible test - that of facing defending champions Barcelona.
And after conceding three times in the first half, the youngsters fought
back with two goals of their own and came close to levelling in added time.
The visitors took the lead in the 24th minute when a low centre from the
left side of the box by Oscar Gistau was knocked in by Xavi Espart.
Magpies 'keeper George Mair made a good parry to deny Gistau in the 36th
minute but Barca extended their lead a minute before the break when Gistau
was left unattended and scooped a first time shot home.
That soon became 0-3 in the third minute of first half added time as Gistau
got his second when he sent a poor clearance back over the head of Mair from
30 yards out.
The young Magpies got one back six minutes into the second period when they
were awarded a free-kick just outside the box and it was played short to
Leo Shahar who finished well.
United pulled another goal back in the 81st minute when substitute Kacey
Wooster burst into the box and netted with a low effort.
The comeback was almost complete in the fourth and final minute of added time but Sean Neave headed wide.
Team: Mair, Bailey, Charlton, Fitzgerald (Waddani 69), Munda (Seung-soo
69), Brayson (Alabi 52), Shahar,
Neave, Watts (Epia 59), Johnson, Finneran (Wooster 69).
Subs n/u: Dowell, Yildiz, Goodbrand, Bloomer.
Booked: Bailey, Neave, Charlton.
FCB: Aller, Victor, Olmedo (Campos 65), Cuenca (Kourouma 65),
Bernabeu, Espart (Goren 65), Nomoko (Pallas Prats 46), Villar, Gistau (Gilabert

Subs n/u: Bonfill, Oertli, Avila, Tunkara.
Booked: Espart, Cuenca, Rodriguez.
Crowd: 657.

Update:
CL round-up
Here's how our Champions League opponents fared in the first week
of the competition:
Union SG hit the ground running on Tuesday, securing a 3-1 victory at
PSV Eindhoven in their very first Champions League fixture. The
Belgians were captained by former Hartlepool United defender Christian
Burgess.
A 3-2 away win for Qarabag against Benfica on Tuesday prompted the
Lisbon side to dismiss coach Bruno Lage - paving the way for Jose Mourinho's
return to the real Stadium of Light - and a trip to Tyneside next month.
Athletic Bilbao meanwhile began their League Stage participation with
a 0-2 home defeat to Arsenal, while Marseille lost by the odd goal in
three at Real Madrid.
Reigning champions
PSG defeated Atalanta 4-0 on Wednesday, with Bayer Leverkusen
sharing four goals on
Thursday with Copenhagen. The Bundesliga side replaced coach Erik
ten Hag with Kasper Hjulmand in recent days.
Moving on to the U19 competition that mirrors the senior fixtures, of the
sides that Newcastle will face after Barcelona, Benfica won 7-1, Bilbao won
3-1, Union lost 2-6 and Marseille lost 2-3. Leverkusen play on Thursday.
PS: Ex-Magpie Lloyd Kelly was an unlikely goalscoring hero for
Juventus on Tuesday, heading home in second half added time to secure a 4-4
draw with Borussia Dortmund.
The defender had also netted in last Saturday's 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in Serie A, his first goals for the club.

The new system is 24/24/48: 24
hours for any ST holders to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
purchase.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets unclaimed by successful applicants within 48 hours are then offered
to those unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total.
NUFC contact those applicants directly.

On This Day in History |
|
21st September |
|
Born Or Died:
1884 William Hibbert
born, Golborne, Lancashire. (1911-20)
Striker who arrived at United from Bury at a record cost of £1,950
in October 1911 -
having netted for the Shakers in a 5-1 win at SJP some months earlier.
Making his debut in a 4-2 home win over Blackburn Rovers, Billy
failed to find the net but scored the following week at Sheffield United before
striking in the next home game, against former side Bury.
Capped once by England in 1910 (against Scotland), Billy toured South Africa
with an FA party during the same year.
His Magpies career spanned WW1 and coincided with a downturn in the club's
fortunes after league and cup conquests during the previous decade.
Later moves took him to Bradford City and Oldham, while Billy was a pioneer for
the later trend of moving to play in the USA, spending time at the Fall River
Marksmen and J & P Coats (both at Rhode Island).
A brief spell at Levante in Spain was followed by a return to the USA as a
coach and later Wigan Borough and Burscough in England.
Also coaching in
Hungary before the outbreak of WW2, Hibbert's death was recorded in March 1949.
 1930
Robert Stokoe
born, Mickley.
(1947-61)
 Bob
Stokoe may be associated with the greatest mackem success of modern times and
is commemorated with a statue on wearside, but as a player he was a good
servant to the Magpies.
Making his competitive Newcastle debut in defence at the Boro on Christmas Day
1950 (scoring but finishing on the losing side), Bob wasn't selected for either
the 1951 or 1952 FA Cup Final victories.
However he replaced Frank Brennan for the 1955 Wembley success and remained a
regular first teamer at Gallowgate until 1961, when he moved to Bury as
player-manager.
Later managerial roles followed at Charlton, Carlisle, Blackpool, the mackems,
Rochdale with returns to Gigg Lane and Brunton Park.
Bob passed away in February 2004 and just over two years later, a statue in his
honour was unveiled outside the stadium of plight by his daughter.
 1999 Alexander Isak
born, Stockholm, Sweden. (2022-25)
Dwarfing the £40m fee paid
for Joelinton by £20m, Newcastle broke their transfer record
in late August 2022 when acquiring this striker from Real
Sociedad.
Standing 6'4 tall, 22 year-old Isak had been linked with various clubs
including Arsenal, but confirmation of an injury to Callum
Wilson saw United make a decisive bid to land the Swedish
international.
Isak's family left the East African country of Eritrea
during a period of civil war in the 1990s and he was born in
Stockholm, linking up with AIK from the age of six.
Scoring on his senior league debut at the age of 16 in 2016,
a deal taking him to Borussia Dortmund came the following
January.
On the fringes of the first team, Alexander agreed a loan
move to Dutch side Willem II, where he netted 16 goals in 13
games in the 2018/19 Eredivisie season.
His return to Dortmund was short-lived however;
concluding a transfer to La Liga outfit Real Sociedad during
June 2019.
Isak struck 33 times in 105 games before Newcastle came
calling, taking just 38 minutes of his debut at Liverpool to
net.
His first home goal came from the spot against Bournemouth
in his second game at Gallowgate and he ended the season with ten goals from 27
games (18 starts) in all competitions, despite missing 13
matches due to a thigh problem.
Alexander's 2023/24 campaign was also affected to a lesser
extent by injury, but 25 strikes from 40 games (36 starts)
made him United's top scorer in a Premier League season
since Alan Shearer's tally of 28 during 2003/04.
And with Callum
Wilson spending more time on podcasts than pitches, Isak
turned 25 averaging a goal every other
game.
Having scored what proved to be the winner in the Carabao
Cup final the Isak story then turned decidedly sour.
The catalogue of incidents over the Summer of 2025 still
remains extremely raw but his transfer to Liverpool for
around £130m was handled incredibly badly by the player, his
agent and both clubs with the media also playing a
particularly grubby role in proceedings.
Internationally, appearances for Sweden at U16 through to
U21 level were followed by a senior bow against Romania in
2019.

Bruce(87)
7,000
Following a 1-5 loss away to Liverpool the previous
week, Newcastle returned to winning ways against the other
Magpies.
Having scored on his debut at Gallowgate a fortnight
earlier, 18 year-old Andy Aitken struck what was to be the
only competitive hat-trick in a Magpies career spanning
over a decade and almost 350 games.
1901 Everton (a)
0-0
(0-0)
Division One
P3, 4pts, 6th/18
20,000
United made it three games unbeaten from the start of
the season with a point at Goodison Park - although the home
side played most of the second half a man short after
Jack Sharp was carried off.
"There was nothing very interesting in the game"
asserted The Liverpool Courier.
1907 Bristol City (a)
1-1
(1-1)
Division One
P4, 4pts, 15th/20
Orr(30)

Ronald Orr netted for the third successive game to
ensure that Newcastle returned from Ashton Gate with a
point.
1912 Chelsea (h)

(1-2)
Division One
P5, 7pts, 6th/20
Peart(1-2), Stewart(53,64),
Fairgray(8,40)
38,000
Trailing 0-2 just before half-time, United almost immediately pulled one back to begin
what would be a memorable revival.
Ex-mackem goalkeeper Ronald Brebner then missed a header
from James Stewart as United drew level. Stewart then
walked the winner into an unguarded net after Brebner
was left stranded off his line.
 1929 Birmingham (a)
1-5
(1-2)
Division One
P7, 6pts, 13th/22
Lang(16)
Bradford(1,59,82),
Curtis(27), Crosbie(88)
35,000
The start of a purple patch for
Birmingham striker Joe
Bradford who registered another hat trick against
Blackburn Rovers the following Saturday - and in between
grabbed five for the Football League against their Irish
League counterparts.
Some contemporary newspaper reports gave Newcastle's goal
as a John Randle own goal.
1932 Glasgow Rangers
(Scotland) (h)
5-0
(2-0)
Friendly
Murray(29,5-0),
Allen(31,48), McMenemy(4-0)
20,000
A week on from losing 1-4 at Ibrox, United recovered
to record an aggregate win in the concluding part of a
two-legged unofficial challenge between the English and
Scottish FA Cup holders.
An away support of several hundred came by rail and the
Edinburgh Evening News reported that "some of the
excursionists were inclined to be resentful of their
humiliating experience and lively scenes marked the
departure of the train for Glasgow".
Team: McInroy, Nelson,
Fairhurst, MacKenzie, Betton, Weaver, Boyd, Murray, Allan,
McMenemy, Lang.
1935 Port Vale (a)

The Staffordshire Sentinel reported that,
"Amusement was caused when a little black terrier
escaped and ran on to the field. After being caught and
taken off it returned, and the game had to be stopped
again while the dog was removed a second time."

45,218
The Chronicle claimed that Newcastle's chosen side
was challenged by the players, with a delegation
comprising of Bobby Mitchell and Bob Stokoe meeting the
board to express their dismay.
The Directors relented and picked an unchanged side from
that which drew 2-2 at Portsmouth three days earlier.
1963 Preston North End
(h)

Division Two
P9, 9pts, 11th/22
Kirkman(47), Burton(74)
Ashworth(25,41), Dawson(56,83)
29,710
Preston's victory came in no small part due to the
problems that home goalkeeper Gordon Marshall
encountered, with the first three away goals stemming
from crosses played into the goalmouth.
 1968 Manchester United

(0-2)
Division One
P10, 7pts, 20th/22

from the juniors.

Even Glen Keeley's own goal past Willie McFaul
couldn't stop United winning in front of the "Match
of the Day" cameras.
 1985
Oxford United (h)

Division One
P9, 17pts, 4th/22
Beardsley(66), McDonald(71),
Gascoigne(90)
23,642
Returning 'keeper Steve Hardwick was powerless to
stop United going fourth in the table, Paul Gascoigne
coming off the bench to score his first-ever senior goal.
Jim Smith's Oxford side also included former Newcastle
midfielder John Trewick and future Magpie Kevin
Brock.
1985 Robert Lee,
then of Charlton Athletic, scored the last goal at The Valley
before the ground was closed, completing a 2-0 win for the
Addicks over Stoke City.
 1988
Manchester United (a) 0-2 (0-0)
Mercantile Credit League

A good crowd for a tin-pot tournament? Well, we pulled
in 17,904 against Wimbledon in the previous round and we'd
just been stuffed 0-4 by Everton....

Millwall (a)

(1-1)
Division Two
P9, 6pts, 22nd/24
Neilson(7)
Kerr(13,90)
9,156
Defeat at the Den left United languishing 22nd in the second tier
- the lowest-ever league
position in the club's history.
There was a forgettable debut for loan striker Andy Walker, who
was obviously unfit when signed from Celtic.
Ossie Ardiles included him in our starting XI anyway and
he was inevitably substituted, although the Manager
pointed the blame at his goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek for
another failure to deal with a dead ball situation -
resulting in Paul Kerr's late winner.

Having beaten Arsenal 3-2 at Highbury on the previous
Saturday, Kevin Keegan sent an unchanged team out for the
Tuesday night Cup visit of the second tier Tykes.
Future Magpie coach Neil Redfearn put his side ahead with the best goal of the night to
give some Barnsley hope in the return leg.

Premier League
P7, 15pts, 2nd/20
Shearer(59)

David Wetherall went into referee Paul Allcock's book
in the first 30 seconds after
clattering Peter Beardsley.
Carlton Palmer failed to heed that warning though and saw
red after 35th and 39th minute cautions - the latter
for a challenge on Alan Shearer, who got up and moaned at
the whistler before Palmer was dismissed.
Recently-installed Leeds boss George Graham was
predictably unimpressed and even less chuffed when
Beardsley and Robert Lee set up Shearer for the only
goal of the game.
2000
United confirmed the signing of Lomana Tresor
LuaLua, a week after the U's website had announced
the transfer.

A final score of 10-0 in this Saturday 12.15pm kick-off would have been a fairer
reflection of our derby dominance.
NUFC.com match report
2006 Following our defeat at Anfield the
previous evening, Newcastle coach Terry McDermott revealed
details of his face-off with Craig Bellamy:
"I was talking to
the referee at the edge of the tunnel when Bellamy
appeared on the scene and suddenly started calling me
names.
"I thought he was
just joking and I put my arm around him, but he kept on
calling me names and that's when it all kicked off.
"I had my say and
when he got to the top of the stairs he started shouting
at me again, but of course he had security guys around
him.
"I was talking to
the referee. It had nothing to do with anyone else and I
take exception to little upstarts like him.
"I do not like it
when people like to think they are bigger than clubs.
"When he was at
Newcastle he thought he was a big cheese. When he went to
Blackburn he caused trouble there and everywhere he has
been he has been in bother and it is all starting again at
Liverpool.
"There was no
need for it at all and he was 100 per cent out of
order."
2008
Confirmation was received that
Newcastle striker Andy Carroll had been cautioned, but it
was slightly more serious than the onfield yellow card
variety.
A Northumbria police
spokesperson said:
"On Sunday 14 September police were
called to the Pudding Chare to a report that a woman had
been assaulted. Officers attended and a 19-year-old
man was arrested and later accepted a police caution for assault."
2009 The reserves made it three games unbeaten
on their return to the Central League, but only with a hefty slice of luck.
Trailing 0-1 to Lincoln City at Whitley Park with seconds
left, Imps defender Danny Hone headed Frank Danquah's
centre past his own 'keeper Paul Musselwhite.

Ahead twice through Loic Remy's first Toon goals,
Newcastle suffered
a first home loss of the season after awful defending was punished by Steve Bruce's
lively Tigers.
Mike Ashley, Joe Kinnear and Graham Carr
looked on
as United failed to beat City for a
fifth successive time.

2015
The
reserves drew 2-2 with West Ham at Upton Park,
Ivan Toney's first Newcastle goal levelling it at 1-1 before Callum Roberts
put them

Newcastle instantly conceded a penalty though; Martin Samuelsen
netting to earn a point.
NUFC.com match report
2018 It
was
just one win in six league games for United's second string

The Magpies went ahead through Adam Wilson but City's Nelson

Such was the poorness of United's play for 75 minutes though that they barely

they failed to win at
Gallowgate for a second season in a row.
There was a second debut for Andy Carroll, arriving from

dropped from third to sixth as their unbeaten start to the season finally
came to an end.
