Perfect nine


Leeds United U17s  0  Newcastle U17s  2

Wednesday saw Newcastle U17s complete their group stage fixtures in this season's Premier League Cup, victory at Thorp Arch giving them three wins from as many games.

Mason Miley shot his side ahead with a first-time effort from inside the centre circle. Substitute Alfie Seldon then set up Alfie Hutchison for the clinching second goal; an excellent defensive performance resulting in a clean sheet.

Team: Dowell, Patterson, Moran, Old, Durrant, Goodbrand, M.Miley, Gilligan, Pinnington, Hutchison, Ferreira.

Earlier in the group stage, the youngsters won 2-1 at Boro, thanks to late goals from Hutchison and Seldon.

A 5-3 home conquest of the mackems followed, Seldon's brace adding to Jake Durrant's opener and two from Jack Patterson.

This is the second successive season that Newcastle have reached the last eight of this competition, exiting at the hands of Manchester United in 2024.

Also through to the quarter finals are Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, Liverpool, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion, with the other two group winners known when the final fixtures take place next week.

Update:
Sandro signs on

Wednesday brought media reports that the Sandro Tonali contract extension said to have been a priority for new Sporting Director Ross Wilson was in fact done and dusted while one of his predecessors was still in post.

The 25 year-old Italian midfielder signed a five year deal following his capture from AC Milan in 2023 and is now revealed to have put pen to paper on an extension while serving his suspension for breaking betting regulations.

Tonali is now said to be under contract at SJP until 2029, with a further 12 month extension exercisable at the club's discretion - negotiations for both completed before Dan Ashworth left the Magpies in early 2024.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs (h) tickets

FAO ST holders on the Carabao Cup scheme wondering why they haven't received an email with a ticket download for next Wednesday's home tie against Spurs - and cannot download their ticket when accessing the club website.

Buried in the payment reminder emails sent out by the club in early October but not received by everyone was the following line:

"Tickets for this fixture will be uploaded onto your season pass."

In other words, no action is necessary and access against Spurs next week will be obtained by scanning season tickets as if it were a Premier League home game.

This is a change to the ticketing system, differing from the previous home cup ties versus Barcelona, Bradford City and Benfica and the upcoming one against Bilbao, when individual tickets were issued.

Carabao Cup scheme members whose initial payment failed or who were relocated from their usual seat for the Spurs game should have received an individual ticket.

All ticket queries: [email protected]

PS: The latest Fan Advisory Board minutes include the following line, suggesting that this change is permanent:

"For future domestic cup fixtures, tickets will be uploaded directly to season cards."

2025/26:
Beaten at Benton

Newcastle U19s  1  Benfica U19s  5

United's youngsters remain pointless after three games in this season's U19 Youth League, outwitted by their Portuguese counterparts at Whitley Park on Tuesday.

The visitors were first to show with a few rangefinder shots that flew over George Mair's goal, before Kacey Wooster tested Benfica custodian Diogo Ferreira on 19 minutes.

That began a period of United pressure; Leo Shahar firing across the face of goal moments later and Wooster trying his luck again but seeing a 25th minute effort blocked.

The opener went the way of Benfica 10 minutes before the interval, Eduardo Fernandes turning in the box before wrong-footing Mair with a low shot.

What proved to be a pivotal passage of play saw United attack from the first whistle after the break, Neave just failing to force his shot under Ferreira within 10 seconds.

A debatable penalty gave Benfica the chance to double their lead on 53 minutes after Jose Neto threw himself to the floor after contact from Shahar - only for Mair to guess correctly and deny Goncalo Moreira from 12 yards.

Reality swiftly intervened though within four minutes, as a Fernandes shot from distance was beaten out by Mair but snapped up by Franciso Silva for an easy finish.

Only a vital block by Logan Watts then prevented a third Portuguese goal just after the hour but a frantic period of play in the 67th minute ended with the United defender helping a Fernandes shot into his own net.

Strong running from United's main attacking threat Neave created a shooting opportunity on 75 minutes, but he was foiled again before a mazy run across the box from the impressive Moreira ended with him firing in via a post.

The black and whites did grab a consolation goal when substitute Joe Brayson finished well two minutes from the end of normal time, only for Fernandes to round off his hat-trick from close range during time added on.

Team: Mair, Shahar, Charlton, Johnson, Watts, Munda, Bailey (Finneran 61), Alabi (Waddani 71), Neave (Yildiz 86), Park (Seldon 61), Wooster (Brayson 61).
Subs n/u: Dowell, Moran, Goodbrand, Bloomer.

Booked: Neave, Shahar, Charlton

Crowd: 426

Referee: Lothar D'hondt, who had a rather quieter shift than on Friday, when he stopped the Belgian League game between Standard Liege and Antwerp in the 88th minute, after cup was thrown at him by a supporter.

Champons League:
Marseille (a) update

NUFC have issued preliminary details for the upcoming Champions League visit to Marseille online here

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 (incomplete)

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.

Internationals:
Wissa complication

Following the final round of World Cup qualifiers involving African nations, the four sides contesting the play-off tournament are now confirmed - including 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 winners of that qualify for a further inter-confederation qualification tournament involving six teams in USA/Mexico, staged 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 Carabao Cup ties the following midweek remains to seen.


Book:
Belfast boy

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.

"Bill McCracken..." is available to direct from the publisher via their Amazon shop

U18s:
Derby disaster


mackems U18s  4  Newcastle U18s  1

Newcastle's U18 side travelled to wearyside on Saturday morning for their first league local derby of the season and were two down after just ten minutes.

Armenian midfielder Finn Geragusian scored twice in four minutes to put the hosts two up before Marcus Neill's penalty in added time made it 0-3 at the interval.

The young Magpies got one back in the 65th minute through Alfie Hutchison but there was a further goal for the mackems in the 87th minute when Ivan Struk... struck.

Team: Mair, Bloomer, Durrant (Goodbrand 63), Moran, Johnson, M.Miley (Old 72), Waddani (O'Donovan 63), Alabi, Hutchison, Cogdon (Ferreira 63), Seldon.
Sub n/u: Anderson.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs (h)

United's third home game in a third different competition during a nine day period sees them receive Spurs in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

It's an 8pm kick-off, live on ITV1 and Sky Sports and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, the tie will be settled by a penalty shootout.

The winners will take their place in the quarter final draw, which will be staged after the full time whistle.

While Newcastle enjoy home comforts for the third successive game, the visitors complete a trio of away fixtures: drawing 0-0 in Monaco in the Champions League on Thursday and visiting Everton in the Premier League on Sundsay before heading to the North East. 

Spurs will be backed by 4,900 fans - the same allocation that Bradford City received in the last round. On that basis expect temporary post-match closures of the walking route from the Leazes End onto Barrack Road for home fans, as was the case against the Bantams.

Entering at the Third Round stage due to their European involvement like Newcastle, Spurs made it to the last 16 thanks to a routine 3-0 home win over Doncaster Rovers.

The two sides last faced each other in pre-season, a Harvey Barnes goal giving United a 1-1 draw in the South Korean capital, Seoul on the night that Son Heung-Min ended his decade-long association with the Cockerels.

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
23rd October


Born Or Died:

1915 Jimmy Gordon born, Fauldhouse, Scotland. (1935-45)

Working as a miner and playing for junior side Wishaw before joining United, wing half Jimmy debuted in a 2-3 defeat at Oldham during April 1935.

However his time at SJP was blighted by both a broken leg and the outbreak of WWII, after which it was thought by the club's directors that the 30 year-old had nothing to offer the Division Two side.

Released before the resumption of league football, Jimmy joined Middlesbrough and went on to become their club captain, playing on until the age of 38.

Joining the Ayresome Park coaching staff following his retirement, Jimmy later moved on to a similar post at Blackburn Rovers and in 1969, was persuaded to join Derby County by ex-Boro colleague Brian Clough.

He helped the Rams to title success and later followed Clough to both Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, working alongside Clough and Peter Taylor throughout a golden age of trophy success at the City Ground.

Given the accolade of leading the Forest side out at Wembley in the 1980 League Cup Final, Jimmy retired the following year.

Living in Derby, he was sadly to suffer from Alzheimer's disease in the final years of his life and passed away in August 1996.

2009 saw Brian Clough's brief flirtation with Elland Road dramatised in the feature film, "The Damned United", featuring Wearside -born actor Maurice Roeves as Jimmy.

1930 Alan Monkhouse born, Stockton-on-Tees. (1953-56)

Centre forward who began his career with Thornaby, joining Millwall in 1949 and going on to score 23 goals in 69 appearances for the Third Division (South) Lions.

Transferred to Newcastle at a cost of £11,500 in October 1953, Alan made his United debut in a 4-0 home victory over Cardiff City the following month.

Grabbing a hat trick at SJP during a 4-1 win over Sheffield United the following March, Monkhouse then played his part in our FA Cup-winning campaign in 1955.

Recalled in place of Vic Keeble, Alan's two goals helped United overcome Nottingham Forest in a Fifth Round second replay and the team went on to lift the trophy. 

Alan however returned to the reserves, having been unable to keep retain a first XI shirt in those pre-substitute days.

Moving on to York City in 1956, Alan ended his playing career with South Shields. He died in 1992.

1998 Ben Kitchen born, Newcastle.
(2015-18)

Younger brother of Magpies reserve Alex and son of former Leyton Orient and Gateshead defender Sam, full back Ben was just six when he first joined United's Academy.   

Debuting at U18 level in a 0-0 draw away to Stoke City in August 2015, Kitchen's reserve team bow came in a 0-3 loss to Fulham at Whitley Park the following February.

An U18 regular during the 2016/17 campaign, Kitchen returned to the reserve side for the following season and acquired squad number 56 for CheckaTrade Trophy fixtures.

However, he left during June 2018 as part of a mass clearout of Newcastle's development squad, signing a contract at Croatian side NK Novigrad alongside fellow Magpies discard Kurtis Russell.

After a year overseas, Ben returned to the UK with Whitby Town following a successful trial. However he'd left by 2020.

Workmen were busy constructing a new stand at St.James' Park until the morning of the game and it was part-finished to give spectators a vantage point.

Newcastle reportedly wore light blue shirts and the visitors were in black and white.

Referee F.Bye (Sheffield) mistakenly blew for full time on 75 minutes and began to leave the field along with several visiting players, before his linesmen pointed out the error.

The Magpies lined up with a front pairing of Albert Stubbins and Jackie Milburn but were beaten by a penalty from guest player Jim Barrett of West Ham.

A week later they lost the return fixture by the odd goal in nine, with Stubbins grabbing a hat-trick and Milburn also on target

A Tommy Craig effort from distance put United level at 2-2, before Mickey Burns grabbed the winner at the Gallowgate End.

City included Terry Hibbitt and John Connolly in their lineup, but striker Peter Withe didn't make the side for this one. All three would later play together for the Magpies.

Three days after the epic 5-0 win over Manchester United, Newcastle enjoyed a rather lower profile victory against a team from the North West.

The Latics sported a maroon and blue hooped change kit that was remarkably reminiscent of our effort from the previous season.

2000 Ex-Mag hero Les Ferdinand made a frank admission to his involvement in one of the great unsolved crimes of the century. 

Yes, Big Les aided and abetted in the wanton destruction of the Blue Peter sunken garden, along with a certain Dennis Wise.

2002 Juventus (Italy) (h)

Champions League Group Match 4
Griffin(62)
48,370

Pointless going into this fourth group stage tie, victory for Newcastle gave themselves a mathematical chance of qualification - although no side had ever accomplished that feat from our position.

A grey-clad United took the lead when Andy Griffin's shot-cum-cross went in off 'keeper Gianluigi Buffon and some staunch defending kept the Serie A side at bay.

Juve coach Marcello Lippi said afterwards: 

"When you go one goal behind in front of a crowd like this one, it's not easy to come back."

It was more relief than euphoria that greeted the final whistle but three points and three goals against the unwashed at SJP were massively enjoyable.

An amazing seven and half minute spell in the first half saw four goals shared, with the hosts twice throwing away the lead. 

United's second looked to go in off SJP old boy Stephen Caldwell, but Shola Ameobi was later officially credited with it. 

The winner was an Emre free-kick to rival those of Liam O'Brien and Scott Sellars in previous derby successes.

2008
At a Regulatory Commission hearing, a claim for wrongful dismissal for United defender Habib Beye was upheld and his one-match suspension was withdrawn.

Beye was shown a red card
after just 12 minutes
by referee Rob Styles for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity during the home match against Manchester City.

Andy Carroll put a traumatic week (having had his Range Rover torched) behind him by scoring the winner that kept his side out of the bottom three and left them ninth instead.

The game began with betting suspended on Magpie boss Chris Hughton losing his job, after a flurry of wagers were made.

2013 Citing their "unfairly negative" coverage of a fan protest march ahead of the previous Saturday's home game against Liverpool, NUFC informed Trinity Mirror North East that their three local titles, The Chronicle, Journal and Sunday Sun were all banned from SJP.

News of the ban broke the following Sunday after United's derby defeat at the stadium of plight, when Alan Pardew was prevented from answering questions posed in the press conference by writers from those papers.

defied both the weather and their illustrious hosts to gatecrash into the top four of the Premier League.

Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron gave Eddie Howe's side an interval lead, before a half time cloudburst raised doubts as to whether further play would be possible.

Thankfully the deluge dissipated and despite Harry Kane netting,
United held out for
a memorable victory.
