Nick
flick eclipsed
by Danny double
Brighton 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle experienced some all-too-familiar Falmer failings on
Saturday, as their winless run in this part of Sussex deservedly
lengthened to nine Premier League visits.
Once again unable to prevent Danny Welbeck from scoring against
them, Eddie Howe's side belatedly came into the game and levelled
thanks to Nick Woltemade's smart finish - their first away goal
since Alexander Isak had propelled the ball into the same Amex
Stadium net 437
minutes earlier.
However the green-clad Magpies were unable to hold on to what would
have been their fourth successive draw on the road, 34-year old
Welbeck hitting the winner once again - as he had in league and cup
games on
Tyneside last season.
Bruno Guimaraes almost gave an unchanged United side the lead in the
sixth minute but narrowly put the ball wide and at the other end, Nick Pope denied Welbeck and Georginio Rutter
as it remained goalless.
However, it was the Frenchman who supplied the pass for Welbeck to
run onto and chip the ball over Pope four minutes before half-time.
Albion began by targeting Dan Burn at left back with ex-Magpie Yankuba Minteh
but were able to wander through the middle of the visiting defence to
set up the opener.
Emerging after the break without the anonymous Anthony Elanga and
underwhelming Joelinton, United gradually improved and were denied a
penalty after VAR check for a handball before Woltemade converted Lewis Miley's cross with an
amazing flick to level in the 76th minute.
But after Burn made an excellent challenge on the edge of the
box to deny Mats Wieffer eight minutes later, Welbeck swept the loose ball into the far
corner of the net.
There were late chances and another strong handball appeal for
United but no second equaliser. Their winless
away run in the league now extends to a concerning seven games -
their longest barren run on the road since 2021.
Defeat saw them drop one place to 12th position ahead of Sunday's
fixtures.

VAR: Paul Tierney
Eddie Howe said:
"Yeah, tough tough result for us. Don’t think we played
well for half an hour of that first half.
"We made a bright start to the first half and looked in a good
place initially, then we fell away from that. We were loose on the
ball in that first period and ended up being in transition an awful
lot.
"I wasn't happy with the first half and I think it was a time to try
and shake the team up, to try and get new energy onto the pitch.
"Different players with different qualities, and I thought the
team benefited.
"I thought we'd actually made a bright start to the game and
looked in a good place initially, but then we fell away from that
and we were loose with the ball in that first period and ended up
being in transition an awful lot.
"We didn't play with our normal clarity on the ball. Much
better in the second half, much more like ourselves and in the end
we're really disappointed to lose.
"We were much better with the changes in the second half, I
thought it was a much brighter performance and much more like
ourselves."
On Anthony Elanga:
"We need more from everybody. It is never about one player.
"Anthony (Elanga) is going to be a great player for
this football club, I have no doubt about that.
"Some players need a little bit more time and extra support,
something to happen positively to kick off, but he has all the
attributes to do really well here. So I have no issues or worries
about him.”
On the international break:
“Yeah of course (travel) will affect individuals, I mean
there’s no denying that. But it will be the same for Brighton,
they’d have had players here, there and everywhere themselves.
On the unchanged line-up:
"If you're talking about Joelinton and Bruno, they would be the
two (who had to play).
"Lewie Miley hadn't trained for two weeks and Jacob Ramsey is just
back from a long lay-off himself, so they're difficult players to
bring in themselves because they haven't been 100% match fit either.
"So we made the decision to go with the two lads that have done the
travelling. Bruno had a much better second half than he did the
first, so maybe that's not pure fatigue."
On the midfield:
"They are brilliant players but they didn't function well today but
I don't think the team did.
"When we conceded the second goal, we were the dominant team.
We responded really well in the second half. They didn't have many
attacks in that spell but they did go and score."
On the lack of goals:
“That is a concern for us. We can’t rely on one individual. We
have always historically been a team that scores a lot of goals from
different areas.”
"We have never been reliant on any one player. Nick has done
really well and we are delighted with him, but we want more from
other areas. of the team.
"I thought there were chances there for us today. Especially
the second half. I thought it was a good attacking display, albeit
we weren’t clinical enough.”
On Nick Woltemade:
"There is a level of expectation there because we're signing a very
good player. There's a lot to take on with a new league and a new
lifestyle but he's taken that on very well."
On Brighton's winner:
"It's a big moment. We're chasing the winner. We feel we're the
better team in that moment in the game and we're chasing the goal.
We want to win games.
"Our midfield line gets penetrated and the ball ricochets to
Welbeck. He finishes it very well but we're disappointed with the
two goals conceded."
Stats:
Newcastle have now failed to beat Brighton in all six league
and cup meetings home and away since May 2023.
Nick Woltemade nabbed his fourth Premier League goal of the
season, out of a measly seven that his side have scored in their
eight outings.
Dan Burn made his 150th
league and cup start for the club while Joelinton completed a
double century of starts in all competitions.
SJP old boy James Milner made his 644th Premier League appearance.
That leaves the 39 year-old nine 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.

Update:
He's a 'keeper
Sky Sports reported on Friday that Newcastle
goalkeeper Nick Pope had exercised the option in his contract for a
further 12 months, keeping him at Gallowgate until 2027.
The 33 year-old has made 104 league and cup appearances since arriving from
Burnley ahead of the 2022/23 season, keeping five clean sheets in the
opening seven games of the current Premier League campaign.
Premier League:
TV times - derby day
Update: the Premier League blamed
"complexities" for their failure to announce further fixture changes and
say only that those games will be confirmed "as soon as possible."
Earlier: Wednesday saw the Premier League announce
some changes to the December fixture list, with three Newcastle games
rescheduled for TV as follows:
Tue 02.12.2025 Spurs (h) 8.15pm Sky
Sat 06.12.2025 Burnley (h) 3pm (no live TV)
Sun 14.12.2025 mackems (a) 2pm Sky
Sat 20.12.2025 Chelsea (h) 12.30pm TNT
Although fixtures up to the end of January were due on Wednesday, only those
up to Mon 22.12.2025 appeared. There's no word on when the remainder will be
released, leaving seven Newcastle games still subject to change:
Sat 27.12.2025 tbc Manchester United (a)
Tue 30.12.2025 tbc Burnley (a)
Sat 03.01.2026 tbc Crystal Palace (h)
Wed 07.01.2026 tbc Leeds United (h)
Sat 17.01.2026 tbc Wolves (a)
Sat 24.01.2026 tbc Aston Villa (h)*
Sat 31.01.2026 tbc Liverpool (a)
The initial fixture release in June didn't list any games on either December 26th
or January 1st, but the PL's only "blackout" days are December 24th
and 25th.
On that basis, some PL fixtures are liable to be played on both Boxing Day
and New Years Day.
* Aston Villa's visit to SJP will move from Sat 24.01.2026 due to
their Europa League tie on Thu 22.01.2026.

Match report
PS: The Magpies are still in with a chance of finishing second and
qualifying for the knockout stage.
However, Huddersfield Town and Mansfield Town meet in their final
game on November 4th - a week before the Harrogate versus Newcastle
fixture. Depending on the outcome of that, our game could be
meaningless.
Internationals:
Wissa complication
Following the final round of World Cup qualifiers involving
African nations this week, the four sides contesting the play-off
tournament next month are now confirmed - and one of them is DR
Congo.
Assuming he's fit by then, Newcastle's Yoane Wissa would be in
contention for selection when The Leopards travel to Morocco during
the November international break.
Semi-finals are set for November 13th when DR Congo play Cameroon,
with the winners of that facing either Gabon or Nigeria three days
later.
The winner of that then qualify for a further inter-confederation
qualification tournament involving six teams in USA/Mexico during
next March's international break.
NB: this is all over and above DR Congo's participation in the
African Cup of Nations Final tournament, staged between December
21st and January 18th in Morocco.
Theoretically, players can be called up 14 days in advance, but it's
anticipated this will be delayed until after Premier League fixtures
on and around December 13th.
Whether that could be stretched further to include the Carabao Cup
ties the following midweek remains to seen.
Giveaway:
Scarf
compo winner
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

(Anyone purchasing Lee scarves qualifies for reduced prices on Ferdinand scarves and Tino bobble hats - see link
above for further details).
We had a Lee scarf to give away and asked what was distinctive about Rob
Lee's UEFA Cup hat-trick at Royal Antwerp back in 1994.
Most folks knew that all three goals were headers and the winning
entry came from Paul Johnson (the Bristol one).

Out now from Pitch
Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill
McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.
The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons,
winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines
worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.
Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in
managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to
Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

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.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are
gone.
2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.
2025/26 CL away tickets are €50 or less.

On This Day in History |
|
18th October |

Born Or Died:
1991 Greg McDermott born, Liverpool.
(2008-12)
Central midfielder and younger brother
of Neale - alongside whom he occasionally sat on
United's first team bench next to dad Terry (and
Kevin Keegan) during the 1990s.
Coming through the Academy ranks, Greg made his
Reserve team bow from as a substitute in a 2-1 victory
over the mackems at Eppleton in January 2009.
His first goal at that level then came away to
Huddersfield the following September - in front of
his dad, who was watching as part of his Terriers'
assistant boss role.
Greg was released by United in Summer 2012 and had
trials at Hartlepool United, Doncaster Rovers and
Burton Albion.
However, a broken wrist sustained during a
pre-season game for the Brewers in August of that
year put McDermott's hopes of a deal with the League
Two side on ice.
And having recovered from that blow, his second
trial at Burton in October 2012 also ended
prematurely when he picked up an injury after
scoring during a reserve game against Grimsby Town.
Greg next popped up for a trial at
Newcastle Jets in Australia, before spells at
Stockport County and Bury, although he failed to
appear at senior level for the Shakers.
By January 2014 he'd appeared on trial at Gateshead
but again injury disrupted his hopes of gaining a
permanent contract and he was sidelined by an ankle
problem.
A further tryout with the Tynesiders was more
successful though, Greg agreeing a permanent
contract at the International Stadium ahead of the
2014/15 season.
Making just one competitive appearance
before being released, he later returned to take up a role at
Newcastle's Academy, later moving on to assisting the first
team.

The conversion of Jackie Milburn from right wing to
centre of the attack took place here at Gigg Lane.
After the sale of Charlie Wayman to Southampton,
Milburn took the number nine shirt and proceeded to
score a hat-trick.
However, it was against stand-in 'keeper Harry Catterick,
filling in for George Bradshaw who had broken his leg
early in the game. Thems is the breaks....
 1947
Meanwhile, the reserves were in action against their Aston
Villa counterparts at SJP.
A 4-2 home win featured goals from Thomas Thompson, Albert
Sibley, Andrew Donaldson and George Hair.

Robledo opened the scoring for United after just
twelve seconds. Charlton's first half equaliser came after
Lock's 60-yard free-kick bounced in, altough there was a
suspicion that the last touch was via Fenton's hand.

The Magpies played in this Monday night kickabout
under the new Belle Vue floodlights, just days after signing
defender Bill Paterson from
Rovers.
He captained United against his former club but couldn't
prevent reserve 'keeper Ron Anderson from having a night
to forget - and conceding to 15 year-old Alick Jeffrey.
Team:
Anderson, Cowell, McMichael, Scoular, Paterson, Crowe,
Milburn, Broadis, White, Curry, Mitchell.

to turn in the box and meet John McGuigan's header with a
superb rising first-time shot with his right boot.

Ahead early on
through a typical close range finish from Supermac, United
were pegged back just on half time.
The Canaries had no answer to the home side's
attacking threat after the break though, Alan Gowling
quickly netting from an acute angle at the Leazes End.
Gowling headed another and Mac muscled his way through
for 4-1 before Ted McDougall nodded home to reduce the
arrears.
Newcastle had the last word though, Mac sprinting down the
left and whipping over a low centre that David Jones slid
deflected past his own 'keeper at the near post.

 1976
One-time mackem Messiah Bob Stokoe was forced to resign as
their manager, following abuse from disgruntled Rokerites
who had seen their team fail to win in nine league games.
However, Stokoe's place in wearside affections was
restored following his death in 2004, when a public
collection raised £73K to erect a statue in his honour
outside the stadium of plight.

Chris, scored the winner. Remembered here.

A fourth home league defeat from the first six played
left Newcastle at the wrong end of the First Division
table, with only Manchester City beneath them.
There was a competitive senior debut for Darren
Jackson, who came off the bench to replace goalscorer Ian
Stewart.

The goal that launched a thousand postcards, a million
Magpie memories and one excellent soundbite.
"I fancy Liam O'Brien over the wall" said
Lennie Lawrence, seconds before the Dubliner wrote
his name across Geordie hearts and caused one almighty
celebration on the Roker End among joyous United fans.
Gary Owers put through his own goal for the first, Gordon
Armstrong equalised. Cue Liam, leaving Tim Carter
flat-footed to give United a record-breaking 11th
successive win.

United repeated the custom of the previous Fairs Cup
era by wearing their away strip for this game - an Asics
all blue affair.
Three goals to the good and with the crowd in jubilant
mood, the team however allowed their concentration to slip
and conceded two costly goals in the closing stages.
A certain local newspaper hack later blamed fans for their
excessive celebrations and indulging in a Mexican wave
that distracted the Newcastle players.

One of the few occasions the blue, green and orange
away kit got an airing. A dreadful performance by United
as goals from Ribeiro, Kewell, Wetherall and a Beresford
own goal saw them well beaten.
Man of the Match for us was the-then Bolton player, Robbie
Elliott, who limped into the away end on crutches to cheer
the lads on.

A far from convincing win, but United rode their luck
to claim three precious points that rocketed them seven
places up the table, to 11th.
Shola netted the only goal of the game after being set up
by Alan Shearer and Gary Speed, but at the other end Shay
Given's display was as important in the victory.
This game provided a classic example of Al running down
the clock by taking the ball to the corner flag, a tactic
that provoked mild -mannered defender Gareth
Southgate into a lunging tackle for which he was booked.

2004 Another
awful display from the reserves at Kingston Park as they
extended the goalless run to 425 minutes and seldom looked
like breaking their duck against a Blackburn Rovers side
who were little better.
Rovers won it when
Jamal Johnson wandered round Titus Bramble to rifle home a shot from 15 yards past Tony Caig.

2005 Two first
half goals from the home side meant that the reserves left
Birmingham City empty-handed and with yet another name

a three month absence saw him lasted only 45 minutes
before limping from the field at St.Andrew's.

2008 United's U18 side recorded a 3-1 home
victory over their Barnsley counterparts, thanks to a hat
trick from Nile Ranger.
2009 Some
quotes from Mike Ashley akin to deranged world domination rantings of a James Bond
film baddie
appeared in the Sunday Times:
"I have to put £20m a year into the club — I spend
more than every other fan put together puts into the club
each year. If you can’t pay up front to buy the club,
you can’t afford it.
"Chris (Hughton)
deserves a shot at the title — he has done a great job.
But if I keep the club I will have the final say on
players. I am the one who has to fund the club.
“Of course I regret
it (buying the club). I never said I was an expert
in football clubs. I tried my best. But I accept my best
was woefully short.”
2011 Newcastle reserves beat Liverpool 3-2 at
Whitley Park thanks to goals from Nile Ranger (2) and
Michael Richardson.
Coach Willie Donachie took charge for the first time
(although predecessor Peter Beardsley was in the home
dugout) as the second string extended their unbeaten start
to the season to five matches.

Kick-off was delayed by an hour after the new
