Internationals:
It's lift off, United
Following news that Nick Woltemade's Germany call-up was
delayed after a dose of flu, another two Magpies encountered
problems linking up with their national side.
Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton were named in the Brazil
squad for kickabouts in South Korea and Japan, but were delayed when
a technical problem resulted in their flight from Amsterdam to Seoul
on Tuesday turning back.
The duo were then reported to be boarding alternative flights to
reach Seoul via two different routes, reducing their preparation
time for Friday's game.
Woltemade meanwhile was cleared to travel after his symptoms eased
and is expected to join the German squad at their Herzogenaurach
base on Tuesday night.
Anthony Gordon and Dan Burn did link up with England,
but injury meant Thomas Tuchel couldn't call on Tino Livramento.
Fitness concerns saw Lewis Hall withdraw from the U21s,
leaving Lewis Miley as Newcastle's only representative at that level
for the Three Lions.
Sandro Tonali made it to Italy's training centre near
Florence unscathed, while Anthony Elanga was put up for
interview by Sweden on Tuesday, responding to questions about his
club form by saying:
"It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's just about staying focused.
I know how good I am and how good I can be. When I get the chance, I
have to take it. When a goal comes in, it will click.
"It's a new system, new players and they'll get comfortable
with me and I with them.
(Eddie Howe is) a fantastic coach who I'm learning a lot
from. For me, he is the best coach I have ever had. He helps me a
lot on and off the field. I feel like I am getting better - that is
the most important thing.
"I've played ten games, I think I've started six. We'll have 60
games this year and the coach is smart and knows what he's doing.
"The way we play takes a lot of strain on the body. It requires
intensity. He tries to keep everyone fresh and ready. We've won
games, that's the most important thing."
PS: Emil Krafth (Sweden) and William Osula
(Denmark) were both omitted from selection, while the form of
Nick Pope (England), Sven Botman (Netherlands) or
Malick Thiaw (Germany) failed to trigger any call-ups.
Yoane Wissa's unavailability meanwhile means he misses DR
Congo's final two World Cup qualifiers in the coming days, against
Togo and Sudan.
Trailing group leaders Senegal by two points with only one side
qualifying automatically, DR Congo look increasingly likely to drop
into November's playoff four team CAF playoffs - with success in
that seeing them advance to an Inter Confederation playoff staged
next March.
All that is over and above DR Congo's position as one of 24 teams
participating in the Africa Cup of Nations Finals between December
21st and January 18th in Morocco.
Compo:
Scarf ace
Following the success of matching bucket
and bobble hats, a Lee scarf has been added to the range of
products on offer from Tyneside's own Football Bobbles.
Inspired by United's distinctive 1997/98 season change kit
and echoing the current change ensemble, these are available online
here
now.
(Anyone purchasing Lee scarves can take advantage of price
reductions on Ferdinand scarves and Tino bobble hats - see link
above for further details).
We have a Lee scarf up for grabs in a free-to-enter competition and to
stand a chance of winning it, simply require you to answer the following question:
United announced their return to European competition in
spectacular style in 1994, with Rob Lee netting a hat-trick against
Royal Antwerp in a 5-0 away win. What did all three of Lee's goals
that night have in common?
Email that to [email protected]
with subject Scarf.
Closing date is 11am on Tuesday October 14th. No age limit, open to
anyone on the planet. Delivery only to UK addresses. One entry each please per
person.

U21s:
Boston United (a)
Next up for Newcastle' second string is a National League Cup tie
against Boston United at their Jakeman's Stadium.
It's a 7pm kick-off this Wednesday night and tickets are on
sale now
here priced £10 adults, £5 concessions and £1 U16s. Only the
main stand will be open, with pay turnstiles available (card only,
no cash).
This tie will be live streamed via Youtube online
here
If ties are drawn after 90 minutes each team gets a point and a
penalty shootout takes place for an extra point.
While the Magpies have three points thanks to a 4-3 victory at
Gateshead in their only National League outing to date, The Pilgrims
have won all three ties in this competition and would confirm their
qualification with a fourth success.
Newcastle are in Group D of the 32 team competition and visits
Scunthorpe United and Halifax Town in December.
Leeds United, Boro and the mackems make up our group, but along with
ourselves only come up against the four National League teams, not
each other.
This is the second time that the Magpies have played at this venue,
losing 2-3 there in the same competition last season.
U21s:
Mansfield Town (a)
Wednesday week (15th October) sees Newcastle U21s return to action in the second of their three
EFL Trophy Northern Group F stages ties.
Their opponents at the One Call Stadium in a 7.45pm kick-off
are a Mansfield Town side managed by Nigel Clough who lost
their opening tie 0-1 to Harrogate Town.
Newcastle are also currently pointless following a 2-6 defeat at
Huddersfield Town.
Tickets are now on sale
here priced £10 adults and £5 concessions. Free
registration is required to purchase, with away fans housed in a
section of the North Stand.
If ties are drawn after 90 minutes each team gets a point and a
penalty shootout takes place for an extra point.
This will be United's third visit to what was formerly known as
Field Mill in this competition, the Stags running out 6-3 winners in
2021 and registering a 3-0 success in 2024.
Update:
Willie McFaul RIP
Former goalkeeper, coach and manager Willie McFaul sadly died
on Saturday,
just days after his 82nd birthday.
Willie, or Iam as he was also known, was a g oalkeeper
famously signed by United despite conceding seven
goals for Linfield in a friendly match at SJP in
September 1966.
Making his debut in a 0-2 home defeat by Liverpool
in November of the same year, Iam had become first
choice between the posts by the summer of 1968 and
played in all but one of the club's 59 games that
season.
He appeared in all twelve games of the club's
first European adventure, doing his bit to get United
into the final with a penalty save against Rangers at
Ibrox.
Future Fairs Cup campaigns in the following two
seasons saw Iam maintain his 100% appearance record,
scoring in the penalty shootout against Pecsi Dozsa in
1970/71, when the referee summoned United back from
the dressing room to complete the sequence of kicks -
despite the Hungarians having already won on
penalties.
Often featured on TV as the goalkeeper who concedes
two goals at Hereford in 1972, Willie played what was
to be his final game for the club at the end of the
1974/75 season, moving on to the SJP coaching staff.
Installed for the first time as caretaker manager
(briefly) in 1977, McFaul then took over again in 1985
following the abrupt departure of Jack Charlton and
was soon handed the job on a permanent basis.
Giving youth team startlet Paul Gascoigne his first
senior start, Iam (by now universally known as Willie)
kept the side together despite the departures of
messrs Waddle, Beardsley and later Gascoigne.
However, a spending spree ahead of the 1988/89 season
proved to be his downfall as new boys Dave Beasant,
Andy Thorn and John Hendrie failed to improve his side
and he was dismissed following a run of poor results.
McFaul returned to his native Northern Ireland and
worked as an Irish FA coach and with local sides
before accepting a FIFA -backed posting to become the
coach of Guam, an island in the South Pacific.
By 2004 Willie was back coaching in his homeland, as
well as scouting for Norwich City during Glenn
Roeder's time in Norfolk.
He returned to SJP in 2009 to take part in the 40th
anniversary celebrations of the Fairs Cup victory and confessed that he was
"delighted and a wee bit emotional" to be reunited with his colleagues and the
trophy.

Match report
Old boys:
Not led by Donkeys
Following a 0-2 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon that left Blackpool second bottom of League One on
Saturday, the Seasiders dismissed manager Steve Bruce.
Ex-Magpie coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence also leave
Bloomfield Road with immediate effect.
Also newly back on the job market are Mike Williamson who has left
his coaching role at Rangers and Neil McDonald, no longer on the
staff at Hartlepool United.
The latter's departure was followed by the arrival of former
Newcastle U21 coach Elliot Dickman at 'Pools.
Bruce's immediate predecessor at SJP also has a new job, Ben Dawson taking up a coaching position at Danish
side Brondby.
Out of football since leaving Leicester City in February, the 44
year-old is reunited with his former Foxes boss Steve Cooper at the
Superliga side.
U18s:
Cup capitulation
Aston Villa U18s 7 Newcastle U18s 1
Newcastle's U18 side returned to
Premier League Cup action on Saturday, suffering a second half nightmare
against Aston Villa at their Bodymoor Heath training facility.
It was 1-1 at half-time when a Tom Old effort from close range equalised Markie Meade's fifth
minute opener for the hosts 20 minutes later.
It was still level with half an hour remaining, but after Jack
McGrath put Villa ahead, Teddie Bloomfield (70) got a third Meade (71) and McGrath (80) got their second goals.
Meade
then completed his hat-trick two minutes from the end before the scoring was completed in
the fourth minute of added time when Olly Lloyd got Villa's
seventh.
The home side featured Cole Ramsey, younger brother of current
Magpie Jacob.
Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Goodbrand (Durrant 59), Old, Moran,
M.Miley (Cogdon 59), Pinnington (Patterson 75), Ireoluwa, O'Donovan
(Lucas 75), Seldon, Hutchison.
Sub n/u: Mair.
With two games played, Newcastle sit third in Group B with three
points, three behind Villa and level with Leicester City.
The
Magpies host bottom-placed Liverpool late next month in their third
and final game. The top two in each of the eight groups progress to
the quarter final stage.

Brighton (a)
United are back in Premier League action on Saturday week,
October 18th when they head to the Amex Stadium - a venue
that they've never won at in the top flight.
Eight previous Premier League visits have ended in five draws and
three home wins.
The Magpies are winless against the Seagulls in the most recent five
league and cup meetings at home and away.
It's an old-fashioned 3pm start with no live UK TV.

BHAFC: Solly March, Adam Webster and Jack
Hinshelwood remain out but Joel Veltman and Kaoru Mitoma both should
return to the squad following injury.
Matt O'Riley is on loan at Marseille while Igor Julio has made a
temporary switch to West Ham.
Fabian Hurzeler's side are unbeaten on home turf so far this season,
drawing with Fulham (1-1) and Spurs (2-2) and defeating Manchester
City (2-1). Adding in last season, Albion haven't lost at the Amex
in seven PL outings.
Ex-Magpie James Milner made his 643rd Premier League appearance in
Brighton's last PL fixture at Wolves. That leaves the 39 year-old
ten behind record holder Gareth Barry, who played in 653 PL matches.
As a measure of his longevity, Milner played his very first PL game
in the colours of Leeds United in November 2002, two days before
current Magpie Tino Livramento was born.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
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 not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History |
|
7th October |
|
Born Or Died:
1881 James Tildesley
born, Halesowen.
(1903-06)
Full back signed from Halesowen St. John who played the bulk of
his games at SJP when deputising for Jack Carr and Bill McCracken.
Moving on to Middlesbrough in September 1906 and Leeds City three years later,
Jimmy ended his career at Luton Town.
He later returned to SJP in a scouting capacity and was living on Tyneside at
the time of his death in January 1963.
1912 Billy Cairns born,
Newcastle.
(1933-34)
United's first wearer of the number nine shirt was signed from
local league football in May 1933 for the princely sum of £25.
Debuting in a 5-1 home win over Bury on New Years Day 1935, Billy announced
his arrival with a hat trick against Swansea Town at Gallowgate two months
later.
The 1936/37 season proved to be his most profitable for United, netting 20
goals as the team finished fourth in Division Two, six points off a promotion
place.
Scoring the final Newcastle goal of the abortive 1939/40 season that was then
wiped from the records, Billy appeared in wartime football both for United and
also Chester, Liverpool, Mansfield Town, Nottingham Forest, Chesterfield,
Notts County and the mackems.
Signing for Gateshead on a free transfer in November 1944, Cairns moved on to
Grimsby Town two years later, averaging a goal every other game in 231
appearances and playing on past his 40th birthday.
Moving on to the backroom staff at Blundell Park, Billy later
became a publican in Cleethorpes. He died in January 1988.
1913 John Park born, Douglas Water, Scotland. (1936-41)
Right winger signed from Hamilton Academical for £1,800 in
1936, debuting in a 3-0 win at Bradford Park Avenue that September.
Lodging on Salters Road in Gosforth with team mates Jack Shiel and Jimmy
Denmark, John's SJP career was curtailed by the outbreak of WW2.
Park guested in wartime football for Chester, Hartlepools, Wrexham,
Hamilton Academical (Scotland), Stranraer (Scotland), Third Lanark
(Scotland), Albion Rovers (Scotland) and Queen of the South (Scotland).
Employed at a steelworks near Motherwell, John's death was recorded in
Glasgow during January 2002.
1945 George Smith born, Newcastle.
(1963-65)
Midfielder who failed to make the grade at SJP after spending
18 months out injured during his two years as a professional.
Moving on to Barrow, he helped them to promotion from the Fourth Division in
the 1966/67 season, but was then unwillingly transferred to Portsmouth.
Later spells at Middlesbrough, Birmingham City, Cardiff City, Swansea City and
Hartlepool United followed before his retirement at the age of 34.
Joining the coaching staff at Pools, Smith accepted an invitation from
his former St. Andrews team mate Trevor Francis to scout for QPR during his
time as manager.
Later scouting in the North East for Stoke City, George ran his own youth academy
on Teesside, with hatchet man Lee Cattermole one of his former players.
1947
Pat Howard born, Dodworth, Yorkshire.(1971-76)
Solid central defender who was brought from Barnsley to United and played in
the 1974 FA Cup and 1976 League Cup Final defeats.
He's remembered for his non-playing part in 1974 Cup run, his dismissal
against Nottingham Forest prompted the now-infamous pitch invasion at SJP.
Howard followed Malcolm MacDonald to Arsenal early in the 1976/77 season and
played against his old club twice as Mac scored the goals that gave the
Gunners victory twice.
Next came a move to Birmingham City which ended with a loan spell out in the
USA with Portland Timbers (USA).
Howard then returned to the UK and played for
Bury, being part of the Shakers side that knocked Newcastle out of the League
Cup in 1980/81.
He then coached for the Football in the Community scheme in the Lancashire
area, also working in football projects for Salford Council and coaching at
the local college.
Appearing for the Old Grammarians veterans football team,
Paddy made a return to SJP in December 2004, appearing as half time hero on the field at the Arsenal game.
1990 Daniel Leadbitter born,
Newcastle. (2007-11)
 Defender
who joined the club aged eight and appeared at Academy and
Reserve level, although injuries hampered his progress at SJP.
Released in 2011, Dan initially went on trial to Lincoln City before
agreeing a two year deal with League Two Torquay United.
However, fitness problems dogged Dan at Plainmoor and after just two
substitute outings, he moved on to Conference side Hereford in June 2013.
Financial problems
saw him leave Edgar Street a year later, signing for Bristol
Rovers after a trial period at Southend United. The Pirates gained promotion back to the Football League via the playoffs in
his first season, but he wasn't involved in the final weeks or a
dramatic penalty shootout success at Wembley.
A regular starter following their return to League Two, Leadbitter helped
Rovers to gain automatic promotion in 2016 and signed a new two year
contract.
2019 saw him sign for Newport County but he only
appeared six times before a loan move to Yeovil Town in September
2020.
Returning to Newport in January 2021, Leadbitter then completed a temporary switch to
non-league Gloucester City that was made permanent that July.
Still based in Bristol, Dan became a Personal Development Manager at the PFA
(Professional Footballers Association).

Magpie forward Jack Allan.
There was a debut for Robert Gibson at outside right - the
first of only two senior competitive games for his
hometown club.
1911 Amid speculation that he'd paid the price for

Unbeaten in their previous fourteen competitive games - including an 11
match run from the start of the season - United were seen off at Villa Park
thanks to one of their old boys.
Tommy Thompson had left Gallowgate just two months earlier and was in the
mood to impress against his former employers, playing a part in the first
two goals then hitting a fine third.
The County Durham native was then forced off through injury to a fine
ovation, travelling back to the North East with the Magpies squad.

Despite being without top scorer Malcolm Macdonald due to injury, only the
agility of Canaries 'keeper Kevin Keelan prevented United from running up a
landslide win.
Magpies boss Joe Harvey praised the contribution of Jimmy Smith to his side:
"Jinky is now beginning to look like the kind of player we always knew he
could be. And what a marvellous player he is - both to watch and play
alongside."

Newcastle extended their unbeaten league run to seven games, rising to
a seasonal high of sixth position.
19 year-old midfielder Nigel Walker capped a fine
display by meeting a Colin Suggett centre to shoot
goalwards - Foxes 'keeper Mark Wallington making a block
but unable to stop the ball from trickling across the
Leazes End goal line.

Following a trio of 0-0 draws, Newcastle's goal famine ended in style at a
damp Deepdale in this Tuesday
evening fixture.
Bobby Shinton and Billy Rafferty put the visitors two up by half time, but Gordon Coleman and
ex-Magpie
Alex Bruce looked to have earned Preston a point before Rafferty's shot was unwittingly diverted
past 'keeper Roy Tunks by Shinton.
Mick Martin returned to the midfield after a year sidelined through injury.

but Arthur Cox's side were unable to find another goal
despite intense late pressure.

Trailing 0-1 to a goal from old boy Tony Cunningham after the first leg,
United went further behind before two quick goals from Paul Goddard and Mirandinha
made it all square.
Two goals in front of the temporary stand at the Leazes End then won it, Gazza
indulging in a soft shoe shuffle after netting his.
The evening ended with Magpies full back Brian Tinnion replacing Martin Thomas
in goal, after he suffered a dislocated shoulder.

1996 Manchester United launched
"Red Tribe" lager, a laughable press release
revealing it was
aimed at 18-45 year old males and females with an interest in football...and
lager.
Further startling facts included the fact that over 2 million UK
residents called themselves Manchester United supporters, and that 16%
"were based in Manchester". That many? 2000 Chilean
international midfielder Clarence Acuña became a Magpie for
a fee of around £1m from Universidad de Chile.

Late goals from substitute duo Emre

The Red Devils avenged their three nil defeat on Tyneside some ten months
earlier, as Newcastle lost at home for the first time that season.
Visiting defenders
Jonny Evans and Patrice Evra both evaded their alleged markers at
corners to beat Steve Harper early on.
The home side's response saw Demba Ba strike the crossbar and Papiss
Cisse head the rebound goalwards - 'keeper David De Gea clawing the ball away
just before it wholly crossed the line.
The sucker punch came when Tom Cleverley's over-hit cross
from the left looped over Harper and into the corner of the
Gallowgate net.
NUFC.com match report
2013 United reserves drew 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers at
Whitley Park, Adam Campbell on target to level for the home side.
Gabriel Obertan had a great chance to win it when Campbell robbed
the 'keeper, but blazed his effort high over the unguarded goal.
NUFC.com match report
2021 Amid
feverish speculation, the club and Premier League issued statements
around 5.15pm stating that the takeover of Newcastle United by a consortium of Saudi Arabia (PIF), Amanda Staveley (PCP
Capital Partners) and the Reuben Brothers (RB Sports &
Media) had been ratified.
An estimated 5,000 fans gathered outside the South West Corner of
SJP to celebrate amid media claims
that NUFC were technically the richest football club on the
planet.
A frenzy of speculation erupted as to the identity of the successor to Steve
Bruce (although he remained in post) and a stellar cast of alleged signing
targets.
But more importantly, the toxic Mike Ashley era was finally over after more
than 14 miserable years.
2022
12 months on from the takeover, Eddie Howe was asked for his
thoughts:
"The club's come a long way. That positivity is still there. It's a
difficult thing to keep & everyone behind the scenes has done a very
good job in putting the building blocks in place for what the club needs for
long term success."
2023 Brazilian
midfielder Bruno
Guimaraes signed a new five year contract to remain on Tyneside until 2028.
2024 A board level addition saw Roger Thornton
become a Magpie director.
South Shields born Thornton arrived with a background in property asset
management gained from a company controlled by club co-owner,
Jamie Reuben.
Thornton's grandfather was former club official Ben Sullivan, who was
involved in the redevelopment of the Popular Side terrace into the East
Stand in the 1970s.
