A shot from Alex O'Donovan in the fourth minute of time added on
got Newcastles U18s back to winning ways at Little Benton on Saturday.
The young Magpies led at the interval through Jude Cogdon and had
looked set for the three points until Spencer Sutton's leveller in

However United weren't to be denied, O'Donovan's first league goal
of the season enough to halt a three game losing run for the U18s in
league and cup matches.

THFC: To follow
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.
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
winning 3-0 at Everton in the Premier League on Sunday 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.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh - second Newcastle game of the season so
far for the Lancashire whistler, following the 1-0 Premier League
home success against Wolves.

paired in this competition, United winning the 1975/76 semi-final

Premier League:
TV times (incomplete)
October 15th saw the Premier League announce some changes
to the December fixture list, with three Newcastle games rescheduled
for TV as follows:

Although fixtures up to the end of January were due that day,
only those up to Mon 22.12.2025 actually appeared.
There's no word on when
the remainder will be released, leaving seven Newcastle games still
subject to change:

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.

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
later this month.

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.

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.

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 |
|
26th October |
|
Born Or Died:
1937 Peter Willis born,
Newfield, Bishop Auckland. (dates
tbc)
Better known as a Football League referee from
1971 to 1986 and remembered for the first FA Cup Final
dismissal (Kevin Moran of Manchester United in 1985),
Peter was a reserve goalkeeper for the Magpies.
Playing amateur football for Willington, Tow Law and
Langley Park, Willis joined the police force after
failing to win a professional contract at St. James'
Park.
First taking charge of a local game during 1963 (as he
was the only one with a whistle, he reckoned), Peter
then trained to be an official and debuted as a
linesman in senior football during 1968.
Officiating his final game in the Football League
during 1986, he then served as President of the
association until 2004 despite suffering
a stroke.
Undergoing a series of cancer operations during 2011
and 2012, Peter passed away in July 2021. He was 83.
1971 Steve Howey born, sunderland.
(1986-2000)
Variously known as "Pop" and "The Boy" during his time at SJP,
Steve began his Newcastle career as a striker in both the junior and reserve sides, playing his initial first team games in that
role.
Making his first team debut in the final game of the 1988/89 relegation season
away at Manchester United, he had to wait until the start of the 1990/91 season
for a second go.
However, he was less than prolific and after an initial suggestion by Ossie
Ardiles saw him drop back into midfield, Kevin Keegan then completed the
process of making him into a central defender.
That switch was to bring four full England caps between 1994 and 1996, with
only a freak injury ruling him out of the Euro 96 squad - Howey twisted his
ankle while on a run when he caught his foot in a rabbit hole.
Steve left SJP in August 2000, after ongoing fitness problems affected his
availability - Joe Royle's Manchester City paying £2m.
The transfer gave Howey's career a boost, making over 100 appearances and
scoring 11 goals, before being declared surplus to requirements by Kevin Keegan
in 2003.
Later moves took him on to Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers, but injuries
were taking their toll by then. An unsuccessful trial with Sheffield United led
to a stint in the USA with MLS side New England Revolution, but that soon
fizzled out.
A brief (one game) spell at Hartlepool United followed before Howey's boots
were temporarily hung up at the age of 33.
Since then he's twice been tempted into non -league management, with
unsuccessful stints at both Brandon United and Crook Town.
Less than a month before his 36th
birthday, Howey made a playing return with Northern League side Bishop
Auckland, linking up with
newly-reappointed boss Brian Honour.
However, that proved to be only a fleeting association and the ex-England
international returned to media work and an FA role as a referee's assessor.
1972 Death of Dave Fairhurst, 66.
(1929-46)
England international and member of the 1932 FA Cup-winning side, who defeated
Arsenal in the so-called "Over the Line" final - yes, they
were moaning even then....
1990 Henri Saivet born, Dakar, Senegal. (2016-21)
Newcastle's first arrival of the January 2016 window was this
defensive midfielder from French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.
Earmarked to replace Cheick Tiote (who ended up staying), the 25 year-old
Senegal international signed a five and a half year deal for a claimed £5m
fee.
Along with Yoan Gouffran, Saivet played for Bordeaux against United in the
Europa League in 2012.
Paraded along with fellow new boy Jonjo Shelvey before a 3-3 home draw with
Manchester United, he debuted from the bench in a 2-1 win against West Ham at
SJP the following Saturday.
Appearing four times before Steve McClaren was sacked, Henri remained was never
selected by successor Rafa Benitez as United attempted to avoid relegation.
Following a season-long loan at St. Etienne, Saivet was named in the 25 man PL
squad, featuring in a League Cup loss to Nottingham Forest during August 2017.
An unexpected recall for the PL trip to West Ham that December saw him net a
fine free kick but he was dropped for the next game.
Loaned to Turkish side Sivasspor a month later following two FA Cup outings,
Henri stayed in Turkey for the 2018/19 season, loaned out to Bursaspor and also
playing for Senegal at the African Nations Cup Finals that summer.
That third loan period again failed to turn into a permanent exit and Saivet
found himself back on Tyneside but omitted from the squad inherited by Steve
Bruce.
A similar situation 12 months later saw him play in friendly matches ahead of
the 2020/21 season, but fail to win a place in the squad.
Henri finally departed from SJP when his contract expired in July 2021 - having
cost the club an estimated £12m in wages.
His final outing was an U23 game against Norwich City in March 2021 - over
three years after his eighth and final senior competitive appearance for the
Magpies.
Saivet then belatedly made a playing return for French Ligue 2 side Pau in
August 2022 before joining Clermont in June 2024.
Before opting to represent Senegal, He played for France U21s with fellow
Magpies Remy Cabella and Massadio Haidara.
1995 Yasin Ben El-Mhanni born, London. (2016-18)
United added this free agent
attacking midfielder to their U21 squad in July 2016.
London-born with Moroccan parents, Yasin attended the AG Football Academy and
played at youth level for Barnet and Aldershot.
Training with Watford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, he appeared for
non-league sides Farnborough and Lewes during the 2015/16 season and also
featured as a trialist for West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea.
El-Mhanni's Magpies bow came during a pre-season victory over Darlington and
his first reserves start was at Fulham just a couple of days before his 21st
birthday.
Netting for the first time in a 2-0 win over Boro at SJP during October
2016, a senior team debut came there three months later.
Yas was selected by Rafa Benitez with fellow rookies Stuart Findlay and Dan
Barlaser for United's 3-1 FA Cup Third Round home replay win over Birmingham
City and the awful 0-3 defeat at Oxford in the next round.
However, his fall from grace would be swift and noticeable; never picked
again for senior team duty and even struggling to get a regular start for the
U23s.
Allegations of bullying against Development Coach Peter Beardsley by El-Mhanni
saw his profile raised and led to a club review of off-field behaviour.
With Beardsley on gardening leave, United released Yas in June 2018 along with
a clutch of other reserve team players.
Following a trial at Brentford, he agreed a deal with League One Scunthorpe
United for the remainder of the season.
Despite netting on debut in a Checkatrade Trophy tie though, he failed to
secure a regular place in the side and left in 2020.
Resurfacing on trial at Southend United in July 2021, he joined Southern League
side Chesham United and then Harrow and Borough in February 2022.
Training with Reading in July 2022 before signing for Arbroath three months
later, he debuted for them in January 2023 but wasn't retained at the end of
the season.
His current whereabouts are unknown.

og(Perrins)(15),
Wardrope(85),
Kennedy(1-1)
8,000
The forerunners
to the present day Manchester United would lose all four
visits to Tyneside - this their second trip to Gallowgate.
A Bob Foyers free kick was turned past his own 'keeper by
George Perrins but William Kennedy levelled shortly after
the interval.
The Magpies played with ten men for over an hour,
following the enforced withdrawal of James Logan due to
injury.
And revenge was gained for a 1-2 away loss to the Heathens
a week earlier when Willie Wardrope's third goal of the
season clinched victory late on.
The Shields Daily News reflected that, "the
better team won and they would have scored more had not
Newton Heath fouled so often in front of goal."
Different name, same cheats then....

Winless in three
matches since a 2-1 victory over the other Magpies at
Trent Bridge, United were ahead within a minute and Jock
Peddie had bagged a treble by the half hour mark.
Ronald Orr got in on the scoring act with four of his own
before Dick Roberts rounded the rout off.

A sensational win
came on a quagmire of a pitch at Goodison against a
weakened home side.
Despite completing a seasonal double over the Toffees with
a 2-0 success at SJP, United would end the season
languishing in fourteenth - three places behind Everton.
 1921
George Robey XI (h) 4-7 (3-4)

George Robey was a music hall comedian ("The
Prime Minister of Mirth") who first put together
a side to appear in a benefit match for the widow of
Chelsea coach Jimmy Miller in 1907.
The tradition continued subsequently and numerous benefit
matches were staged for charitable causes.
This meeting was billed as being for "The Newcastle
unemployed" and the visiting side was made up of
players from Sunderland, Middlesbrough and South Shields -
with Robey leading the attack.
The game came at some cost to United though, who lost both
Andy Smailes and Harris to injury - the former missing a
month and the latter not returning to the side until the
following April.

After the 13-0 victory over Newport County in their
previous home game, the SJP crowd was boosted by over
13,000.
They saw an entertaining game featuring a hat trick
from Charlie Wayman, who completed his treble in the final
minute of the second half.
Wayman had netted four times against Newport and would
emulate that when Sheffield Wednesday visited Tyneside two
Saturdays later.

United's poor home form showed no signs of coming to
an end, with this their fifth winless game at SJP -
although taking a point from the league leaders was no
mean feat.
1960 United's Dick
Keith appeared for Northern Ireland as they lost 3-4 to
West Germany in a World Cup Qualifier, despite a hat trick

United 'keeper Iam McFaul took the blame for allowing
a late winner to squirm through his hands, but he had kept

A midweek trip to the Manor Ground - with a fence in

Future Magpie Andy Thomas netted from a Kevin Brock pass
to give Jim Smith's side a 3-2 aggregate win, despite
being reduced to ten men when Gary Briggs was red carded.
And to add insult to injury, much-maligned former Toon
'keeper Steve Hardwick was between the posts for the home
side.

One up at the interval through Lee Clark - one day
short of his 19th birthday - United were made to pay for
missing chances to extend their lead.
Having gained an assist for the goal, midfielder David
Roche was forced to move into defence after Alan Neilson
limped out of the action.
And when Gavin Peacock went off, which saw Andy Hunt drop
into midfield, City pushed on and were rewarded by a late
leveller from one- time Newcastle trialist, Bob Taylor.
Man of the match Tommy Wright made sure the Magpies
returned from Ashton Gate with a point though, after a
fine reflex stop to deny Wayne Allison from close range.

City's Neil Lennon made a "hand jive" gesture at

Following his memorable winner against Juventus, Andy
Griffin found the Leazes End net for the second time in
four days, this one a sweetly-struck volley.
Laurent Robert then celebrated his 50th start for
Newcastle with his 11th goal - smashing the ball past Dean
Kiely to secure the win.
Shaun Bartlett had put the Addicks ahead, no doubt to
the delight of his three year-old son, Tyrique. Fast
forward 15 years and Bartlett junior was a Newcastle
player.

Newcastle reserves suffered a second successive Senior Cup
defeat to Bedlington Terriers.
Ahead through Carl Finnigan, a trio of inspired late
substitutions by the Northern League side saw United fall
behind and trail 1-3.
And although the Magpies reduced the arrears in added time
through Guy Bates, Bedlington held on to win the tie.

Former soldier, turned lower league clogger, Justin
Whittle, smashed his elbow into Shearer's face in the
first half of a tough encounter at Blundell Park.
Amazingly ref Mark Halsey waved play-on, despite
initially putting his whistle to his mouth. Big
Al gained his revenge, however, by smashing
the small-fry Mariners out of the cup with a stunning
left-footed strike.

United lodged an appeal following the dismissal of
defender Zurab Khizanishvili against Doncaster Rovers.
However, the appeal was not to dispute the actual red
card, but rather an automatic three game suspension for
violent conduct. As a result he was ineligible for the
trip to Bramall Lane.

A Peter Lovenkrands equaliser seemingly taken the tie to
