Carabao Cup:
Magpies v
Cockerels
Newcastle's reward for defeating the Bantams is a
Fourth Round Carabao Cup home tie against Tottenham Hotspur.
That will be played at St. James' Park during the
week commencing Monday October 27th.
Season ticket holders signed up to the cup scheme will be charged £20 or £25
depending on seat location, with monies taken seven days after the fixture date
is confirmed.
Fourth Round draw:
Arsenal v Brighton
Grimsby Town v Brentford
Swansea City v Manchester City
Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur
Wrexham v Cardiff City
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Wolves v Chelsea
Wycombe Wanderers v Fulham
This is the fourth time that the two sides have been
paired in this competition, United winning the 1975/76 semi-final
on aggregate - losing 0-1 in North London but recovering to triumph
3-1 on Tyneside in the second leg.
The Magpies lost the next meeting 1-2 at Gallowgate in September
2008, before going down 0-4 at White Hart Lane in the most recent pairing
during December 2014.
The draw gives Eddie Howe's side three successive home games in as
many competitions: a Champions League tie against Benfica, the visit
of Fulham in the Premier League and then concluding with the Spurs
League Cup tie.
Thomas Frank's Cockerels by contrast have a trio of away fixtures:
Monaco in the Champions League, Everton in the Premier League and
then Newcastle at SJP.
Frank has defeated Newcastle in this competition before, guiding
Brentford to a 1-0 home success during 2020/21.

Carabao Cup:
Braces beat Bantams
Newcastle 4 Bradford City 1
Newcastle began the defence of their Carabao Cup title on Wednesday with a
comfortable
Third Round victory against League One Bradford City at Gallowgate.
Joelinton and William Osula both scored a goal in each
half, City's sole reply a memorable strike from boyhood Toon fan Andy Cook
that flew past debutant Aaron Ramsdale.
That made it 3-1 with 11 minutes to play, only for Osula's second and United's fourth to
kill off any faint hopes that the Bantams could take the tie
to a penalty shootout.
Eddie Howe fielded a strong side that saw Bruno Guimaraes and
Joelinton return while giving first starts of the season for Emil
Krafth and Ramsdale.
The goalkeeper was called into action in just the
second minute and again when he tipped a deflected Bobby Pointon
shot wide.
Joelinton fired over the bar at the other end and when Anthony's
Gordon shot fell for the Brazilian he supplied a neat finish to put
the Magpies ahead in the 17th minute.
Just two minutes later it was 2-0 when Bruno's precise through ball
was finished calmly by Osula through the legs of goalkeeper Sam
Walker at the Leazes End.
Gordon had a chance on the break before Osula's shot was saved
by Walker's feet after being set up by Anthony Elanga.
Gordon had another shot saved from outside of the box and then Bruno
fired over the bar two minutes before the break as United continued
to make and miss chances.
Joelinton headed wide from close range two minutes into the second
period before Gordon had another shot smothered as both sides looked
for the next crucial goal.
Stephen Humphreys headed straight at Ramsdale when well placed in
the 53rd minute and Bruno's deft flick clipped the top of the goal
frame.
Elanga was next to go close but allowed Walker to make another save
and Osula should have converted a Gordon cross from close range
instead of heading well off target.
Gordon dragged another good chance wide but in the 75th minute the
tie was effectively ended after Bruno found Joelinton in the box and
he got his second of the night.
Bruno looked a certain scorer after a flowing move but was denied by
Walker before Cook seized on a loose ball and fired in off the bar for a memorable moment at his
beloved SJP.
Big Joe then had a chance to complete what would have been the first
treble in this competition by a Newcastle player since Craig Bellamy back in 2001, but
was denied by a defender.
Substitute Harvey Barnes hit a volley wide then curled a shot
narrowly past the far post before supplying the
cross for Osula to convert from point blank range with three minutes
remaining.
Bruno almost grabbed a fifth in added time but it ended 4-1 to the
Carabao Cup holders, setting up another home tie against last season's Europa Cup winners.

After the game Eddie Howe said:
"We want to win whatever is put in front of us, and the
attitude stems from us, the coaches, and it should filter down.
"There is no difference between the games; these are
opportunities to win trophies, and you can't just turn them away.
"So, the hard rounds are the early ones. They are very
difficult. Last year, we had to battle through against Wimbledon on
the way to winning it; Bradford was the same. The mentality, you
can't switch off.
"We wanted to win and wanted to score and try to entertain
everybody that came. I thought we did that.
"It was always going to be a difficult game; nobody wants to make
anything easy for you.
"Bradford are top of their league and we needed a bit of
patience in our performance, but once we got into our groove, we
were very good.
"We believe we have a strong squad. We take it on a
game-by-game basis. After Barcelona (on Thursday), it was a
case of who we felt would be fatigued going into the Bournemouth
game (on Sunday).
"We created a lot of opportunities, and people impressed, and
that only helps the team win consistently.
"The lads are very aware of the strength in depth, so everyone in
their position will be looking over their shoulder going, 'If I
don't play well today, there's someone else waiting to take my
shirt'."
On William Osula:
"It was a slightly turbulent end to the transfer window
for Will. Slowly but surely he is improving his game. It wasn't just
his goals tonight, it was his hold-up play, his wing play.
"He's done his chances (of Premier League pitch time) no
harm.
"He's very driven. Will has got great attitude to his work and his
career. He's very ambitious, he wants to play as all players do, but
he is now justifying that by his training performances and when he
plays on the pitch.
"We have done a lot of work with him and will continue to do
that for his benefit to try to get him to be the very best player he
can be."

Yorkshire-based official who made his Championship officiating debut in
December 2023.

Stats:
Joelinton's brace moved him on to
six League Cup goals, one behind Alan Gowling and Alan Shearer (and
own goals).
Ahead of them lie Shola Ameobi and Andy Cole with eight and Malcolm
Macdonald on 12.
The Brazilian hadn't found the net for the Magpies since December
2024, when he struck in a 2-0 Premier League victory over
Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Joelinton now has 31 goals in a Newcastle shirt; 22 in
the Premier League, six in the Carabao Cup, two in the FA Cup and
one in the Champions League.
Will Osula moved on to five goals for the Magpies in
all competitions; two in the PL, two in the CC and one in the FAC.
All five came at SJP.
It's a decade since United last lost a League Cup tie at Gallowgate in 90
minutes, when Championship Sheffield Wednesday beat the PL hosts 1-0 in a

Former Newcastle winger Rolando Aarons is back in football, after
agreeing a contract with National League Morecambe.

Aarons becomes the third SJP old boy to join the Shrimpers as they seek to
rebuild following a traumatic start to the season and subsequent takeover.
Already at the Mazuma Stadium are central defender Ludwig Francillette
and midfielder Mo Sangare.

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 |
|
25th September |
|
Born Or Died:
1895 Thomas Henry McDonald born, Inverness,
Scotland.(1921-31)
Initially signing for the
Caledonian club in his native Inverness, Tom moved
to Glasgow Rangers in 1919 before Newcastle
brought him to England in February 1921.
Making his debut in a 0-0 draw away at
Middlesbrough early the following month, McDonald's first senior goal
was in a 3-3 draw at Blackburn Rovers in
his third game.
And among his 112 subsequent strikes came a trio
of hat tricks plus 17 goals in United's
Championship-winning season of 1926/27.
An FA Cup winner with the Magpies against Aston
Villa at Wembley in 1924, Tom was never capped by
Scotland.
Playing his final game for the Magpies in January
1931, McDonald later served York City, Goole Town
and Unsworth Colliery.
His death was recorded in 1969.
1952
Ray Clarke born, Hackney.
(1980-81)
Striker who began his career as a
Spurs apprentice, making one senior appearance
before joining Swindon Town in 1973.
Following a move to Mansfield Town in 1974, Ray
helped the Stags win the Fourth Division title in
1975 - going through the full season without
losing a home game.
His next switch was a surprise one however, with a
£90K move to Sparta Rotterdam, after submitting a
transfer request at Field Mill - a rival bid from
Hereford United was rejected.
Clarke's reputation as a legend in Dutch football
was then cemented in a season with Ajax in which
his 26 goals even led to calls for England
recognition.
Returning to England with Brighton via a spell in
Belgium with Club Brugge, Clarke attracted the
attention of Newcastle and signed in a £180K move
ahead of the 1980/81 season.
However, after just three games under the charge of
Bill McGarry, a managerial change saw Arthur
Cox arrive - Clarke netting his first United goal against
Cardiff City when caretaker boss Joe Harvey was in
charge.
Injuries and poor form saw him contribute little
to the first team, save for goals in successive
home games in January 1981 against Luton Town (in
the FA Cup) and Bolton Wanderers.
However, the following week's game against QPR
proved to be the last of Ray's career and he
retired a short time later due to a persistent hip
problem.
Completing his coaching badges but unable to
find a job, Ray worked in the hotel trade in East Anglia and the Isle of
Man.
A return to football came in 1996 when Graeme
Souness - Clarke's team mate in the Spurs Youth Cup winning side of
1969/70 - named him as Southampton reserve boss.
Next came a European scouting role for Gordon
Strachan's Coventry City, with Clarke based in The Hague.
A brief return to SJP as Chief
Scout came in 2004 during the Souness reign,
during which time he was instrumental in
Newcastle's acquisition of Tim Krul from Den Haag.
Leaving United after the Souness sacking,
Clarke took on a similar role at Celtic, working with Gordon Strachan once
again.
2009 then saw Ray become
Portsmouth's Chief Scout before a further reunion
with Strachan on Teesside came a year later.
And he was announced as the new chief scout of
Blackburn Rovers in September 2012, days before
his 60th birthday.
Within two years, Ray had been appointed Technical Director of Omonia Nicosia
in Cyprus.
A Director of Sportsline Recruitment, Clarke also founded the PFSAA - Professional Football
Scouts and Analysts Association, serving as
their Chairman.
1962
Chris Withe born, Speke.
(1979-83)
A left back and younger brother of Magpies striker Peter,
Chris joined United as a trainee and was promoted to the first XI
following the arrival of new manager, Arthur Cox.
Replacing Ian Davies for a 1-0 home victory over
Shrewsbury Town in October 1980 (on the night
Chris Waddle also made his senior team debut),
Withe retained his place for the following game, at Chelsea.
However after a 0-6 massacre at Stamford Bridge,
Cox signed Peter Johnson and he immediately
replaced Withe at left back.
Failing to get back into the first team over the
following two and a half seasons and affected by a
knee injury, Chris
joined Bradford
City on a free transfer during the summer of 1983.
Returning to SJP the
following year for a League Cup tie, Withe was
unable to stop the Bantams losing 1-3 and then
going down by a single goal at Valley Parade.
Moving on to Notts County in 1987, Withe later
appeared for Bury, Chester City, Mansfield Town
and Shrewsbury Town.
Playing for the Shrews in the 1996 Football League
Trophy Final (but losing 1-2 to Rotherham United
at Wembley), Chris saw out the final part of his
playing career at non-league Boston United - making over 100
appearances between 1996 and 1998.
Later turning out for Nottingham Sunday League side SPOT-ON
2000 alongside his son Matt, Withe also
appeared for the Notts County Masters side and
Notts Police Vets.
1990 Dan Neary born, Longbenton.
(2006-09)
Striker signed from Cramlington Juniors who made
his Academy U18 debut against West Bromwich Albion
in March 2006.
Dan's sole reserve outing for United was a brief late substitute stint against
'Boro at Billingham Synthonia in January 2008,
during which he scored in a 5-0 win.
With the likes of Andy Carroll,
Wesley Baheng and Nile Ranger all ahead of him at
Gallowgate, Dan join Rochdale on a trial basis in February
2009, netting for them in a reserve game against
Blackpool.
No Dale deal materialised however and following
trials at Gateshead, Blyth Spartans and
Bedlington Terriers, Neary joined Newcastle Benfield.
He later played for Morpeth Town and
Northern Alliance Cramlington Town.
1998 Gideon Adu-Peprah born, Kumasi, Ghana.
(2015-17) 
Defender who joined United
following his release by Manchester City in 2015,
first appearing competitively for our U18s in a
0-0 draw at Stoke City that August.
Making a reserve team debut against West Ham at
Upton Park just over a month later, Gideon played
ten games at that level in his first season at the
club.
A toe injury however saw him miss four months of
the following campaign, returning to the U18
side in early 2017.
Released by United that May,
Adu-Peprah appeared as a trialist for League Two
side Cambridge United ahead of the 2017/18 season
but wasn't retained.
A similarly brief sighting for Cheltenham Town
reserves followed in January 2018, but again
he failed to make his mark.
Gideon's next port of call was the USA, studying
Psychology at the University of Central Florida and playing for
their Knights soccer team.

Newcastle won a Second Round League Cup tie for the
very first time at the third attempt, having been dumped

two seasons.
Ron McGarry gave United the lead from the spot, netting
the first attempt only to be made to retake it,
confidently dispatching that one also.
Joe Harvey handed a debut to Len Walker - one of just
two first team outings for the defender signed from Spennymoor.
He'd completed a shift as a colliery electrician before
playing the game.

a United 'keeper as captain, Dave Hollins leading
the side out, alongside his brother John,
Chelsea's captain for that day.
However, the referee took exception to Dave's all-black
strip, sending him to the dressing room to change into a
more conventional green goalkeeper's top.
Things then got even worse for Hollins, who was forced off
the field due to injury and replaced between the sticks by
Dave Hilley.

2006 A
goalkeeping crisis had Newcastle searching for an emergency
replacement, with Shay Given sidelined and youngster Tim
Krul understudying Steve Harper following the departure of
Tony Caig.
However,
Magnus Hedman declared on live Swedish television that he
had decided to turn down an offer from Newcastle.
The 33 year-old ex-Coventry City and Celtic stopper
said:
"Well, of course, it was a bit flattering, Had it been an offer for the
whole season I would have been forced to think about it a bit longer."
Within days United had filled their vacancy, signing former
favourite Pavel Srnicek on a short-term contract.

"The Premier League tribunal considering Kevin Keegan's departure from the Club in September 2008 has today retired to consider its
judgment. The Club will be making no further comment at this time."
Statement from Richard Bevan of The League Managers Association

"Having heard the evidence from both sides, the panel has reserved
judgment, and there will be no further comment on the process until they have
published their findings."

United's number nine made a perfectly-timed forward run and nodded into the Leazes End goal from eight yards
without breaking stride to score his first goal for 1,005 minutes.
Yoan Gouffran then delivered a hammer right foot finish to notch
his first home goal and in the Fourth Round draw United were paired with
Manchester City at SJP.
