Carabao Cup:
More home comforts

Newcastle's reward for defeating Spurs in the Fourth Round of the Carabao Cup is a home tie in the last eight against a Fulham side beaten 2-1 at St. James' Park earlier this month:

Quarter-final draw:

Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Cardiff City v Chelsea
Manchester City v Brentford
Newcastle v Fulham

Quarter-final ties are scheduled to take place in the week commencing Monday December 15th, coming between our Sunday PL visit to the mackems and the PL home game against Chelsea the following Saturday lunchtime.  

This is the third time that the Magpies and the Cottagers have been paired in the League Cup, Newcastle 3-0 winners at Gallowgate in the Fourth Round during January 1975.

Fulham then gained their revenge in October 1982, winning both legs of a Second Round tie: 2-1 on Tyneside and then 2-0 on the banks of the Thames. 

This is N
ewcastle's 13th appearance in the quarter-finals and the fourth successive season that Eddie Howe has guided his side into the last eight:

1974/75 Chester City (a) lost 0-1 (1st replay)
1975/76 Notts County (h) won 1-0
1995/96 Arsenal (a) lost 0-2
1997/98 Liverpool (a) lost 0-2
2001/02 Chelsea (a) lost 0-1
2006/07 Chelsea (h) lost 0-1
2014/15 Spurs (a) lost 0-4
2016/17 Hull City (a) drew 1-1 (lost 1-3 on pens)
2020/21 Brentford (a) lost 0-1
2022/23 Leicester City (h) won 2-0
2023/24 Chelsea (a) drew 1-1 (lost 2-4 on pens)
2024/25 Brentford (h) won 3-1
2025/26 Fulham (h)

Carabao Cup:
Cockerels get knotted

Newcastle  2  Spurs  0

Goals from Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade propelled Newcastle into the last eight of the Carabao Cup as Spurs were twice caught napping at Gallowgate on Wednesday.

Jacob Ramsey and Harvey Barnes had come close but the tie was scoreless midway through the opening half when the hosts won a corner that Sandro Tonali shaped to take.

However, the flag kick was delayed while Djed Spence fiddled with his bootlaces, the visiting defender belatedly trotting into the area as the ball came over from the right and was headed straight into the Leazes End by Schar.

An outraged Richarlison led prolonged protests that his side weren't ready, but referee Chris Kavanagh was unmoved and the goal stood - the Spurs striker lucky to only be booked for manhandling the referee and knocking Joe Willock to the ground.

That fuelled a period of Spurs pressure; Richarlison twice coming close to connecting with dangerous low crosses pinged in from the right flank after flowing moves upfield.

The hosts also came close themselves; good work from Tonali and Malick Thiaw setting up Barnes for an acrobatic shot from close range that shaved the Spurs crossbar.

United should have added a second soon after the restart when Joe Willock wasted his header from close in, but the recalled midfielder capped an encouraging display when pinging in a centre that Woltemade reached ahead of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky and nodded into the net.

Two timely stops from Aaron Ramsdale then preserved Newcastle's two goal advantage; first brilliantly denying Pape Sarr and then Richarlison once again.

The threat from the North Londoners diminished though, as what became a Tonali master class saw the Italian pop up at both ends of the field to great effect.

Spurs were also undermined by repeatedly hitting passes out of play amid ironic cheers from home fans and choruses of "Tottenham Hotspur, it's happened again", as United closed in on their fourth successive home win over them.

The introduction of messrs Trippier, Osula and Joelinton livened up the Magpies - Joelinton soon tussling with Mohammed Kudus and restrained by colleagues.

The lack of VAR saw only yellows shown although hands were raised and when Kudus illegally prevented a counter-attack moments later, Kavanagh ignored strong shouts for a second booking - again a VAR opinion may have differed.

There were to be no more home goals, the nearest to a third when a first time effort from Anthony Elanga cannoned off Kevin Danso and just past his own post.

Despite retaining just three of the side that had lined up against Fulham at the weekend, a third home win in nine days was richly deserved and underlined our strength in depth, even without two full backs and Yoane Wissa.

Spurs may have changed their manager since the last time they visited, but aside from the profligate Richarlison never looked like ending United's hopes of a Wembley return.

They still don't like it up north - let's see whether Thomas Frank's side have any more appetite for the fight when the teams meet here in the Premier League in December.

Team: Ramsdale, Krafth (Trippier 72), Burn, Schar, Thiaw, Tonali, Ramsey (Guimaraes 80), Willock (Joelinton 71), Barnes, Elanga (Gordon 89), Woltemade (Osula 71). Subs n/u: Pope, Botman, J.Murphy, L.Miley.

Eddie Howe said:

"Really pleased because I think when you make the changes we did you hope to see a performance that's in line with our identity and our expectations.

"I thought the pressing early on in the game and general attitude of the players was very good.

"I think with the way we work we like to think regardless of the changes we make they deliver a Newcastle performance in line with our expectations.

"It's most important that our attitude is right from minute one and the will to win that you need and we had. Individually I thought there were some really good performances, collectively we were strong."

On which competitions he is targeting:

"There is no priority. We just want to win and win consistently. That's such a healthy thing for the group to feel.

"The acid test was this game for that because of the changes we made. Was our mentality and mindset going to waver? The most pleasing thing for me was that it didn't.

"We enjoy the competition. We take it seriously. We want to do well. It's up to the players and how they take to the pitch.

"We made a number of changes. There is always a slight doubt about how that team will knit together.

"But, from minute one, we looked in a really good place. Athletically we were excellent. A lot of those players haven't played regularly so that's testament to their professionalism and how they have looked after themselves between games and they got their rewards."

On scoring from a corner:

"something we've worked really hard on lately in our game and I think we have the height and power to cause teams problems.

"It's great to see a great delivery from Sandro
(Tonali) and Fabian's (Schar) header was top class. He's always had a goal in him, he's always had that creative side of him game and it was a great moment for him."

Internationals:
Tartan triumph as
Toon Teens tussle

Tuesday afternoon saw England and Scotland U17s meet in a European Championship qualifying tie at Airdrie, with Newcastle representation in both sides.

The visitors included United goalkeeper George Mair and were captained by midfielder Sam Alabi, while defender Oliver Goodbrand wore the armband for the Scots.

Goodbrand's side were 1-0 winners thanks to a goal in second half added time, both he and Mair playing for the entire game while Alabi completed 64 minutes.

Both sides return to action on Thursday; England facing Lithuania before Scotland take on Sweden. The third and final set of games on Monday then sees England against Sweden and Scotland against Lithuania.

Elsewhere, United's Lesecond Yeutembip is in the England U16 squad for the Football Federations Cup in Turkey.

The 15 year-old defender is called up for games in Antalya against Wales hosts Turkey on Saturday and Portugal.

Late joy for youngsters

Newcastle U18s  2  Nottingham Forest U18s  1

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 the first minute of time added on.

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.

Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Durrant, Moran, Old, Miley (Gilligan 82), Waddani (Ferreira 64), O’Donovan, Hutchison, Cogdon (Taylor 73), Seldon (Pinnington 62). Sub n/u: Anderson.

Rafa returns

Former Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is back in football, taking charge of Greek Super League side Panathinaikos.

Now 65, Rafa has been filling in his time as a football pundit since his most recent managerial role at Spanish side Celta Vigo came to an end in March 2024.

And he made a winning start on Sunday, watching his new charges record a 2-0 home with over Atsteras Tripolis.


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:

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 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:

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 - latest newspaper claims suggesting that one game will be on the 26th.

* Aston Villa's visit to SJP will move from Sat 24.01.2026 due to their Europa League tie on Thu 22.01.2026.

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, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham. News of the final qualifier is tbc.

On This Day in History
29th October


Born Or Died:

1903 William Gillespie born, Fife, Scotland. 
(1927-29)

Full back who arrived from East Fife at a cost of £1,500 but failed to make an impact at SJP, joining Bristol Rovers on a free transfer at the end of the 1928/29 season.

Gillespie subsequently returned to his native Scotland, first with St.Mirren and then back at East Fife. 

1932 John McGuigan born, Motherwell, Scotland. (1958-62)

Inside forward who had appeared in the Scottish League for St.Mirren before moving to England with Southend United in 1955.

United parted with £2,250 plus Bill Punton to the Shrimpers ahead of the 1958/59 season for John and got off to a good start, netting on his debut in a 2-0 home win over Everton.

However the departure of manager Charlie Mitten spelt the end for John and he was never selected by Joe Harvey before leaving in January 1962 for Scunthorpe - Barrie Thomas coming in the opposite direction.

John subsequently played for Southampton, Swansea Town and Kings Lynn and after his retirement became a publican in Hampshire.

Returning to Scotland, John worked for an engineering company and was living in Lanarkshire at the time of his death during August 2004. 

1949 Death of Curtis Booth, 58. 
(1913-20)

1951 Stewart Barrowclough born, Barnsley (1970-78)

Occasionally inspired winger signed from his home town club where he'd broken through from the youth side - Barnsley - breaking their transfer record when raking in £40K.

A broken finger saw him miss the infamous Hereford replay defeat, but Stewie scored as we won at Old Trafford the next week. 

Barrowclough missed the 1974 Wembley FA Cup Final defeat due to injury, but was part of the side beaten there in the League Cup Final by Manchester City two years later.

Capped at U21 level, he was sold by Bill McGarry following relegation from Division One in 1978, moving to Birmingham City with John Connolly and Terry Hibbitt leaving St. Andrews in exchange.

Later moves saw Stewie appear for Bristol Rovers, return to Barnsley and then play for Mansfield Town, hanging up his boots when on the books at Field Mill in 1985. 

A return to football came as manager of non-league Frickley for a spell, while he visited Wembley again in 1996 when in charge of Grimethorpe Miners' Welfare, his side defeated on penalties in the FA Carlsberg Pub Cup Final.

Barrowclough lives in Barnsley and was employed as a technician for Rexam Glass.

1970 Anth Lormor born, Ashington.
(1987-90)

Striker Anth (aka Tony) came to the attention of Newcastle after scoring 80 goals in 40 games for Wallsend Boys Club, arriving at Gallowgate via a government YTS (Youth Training Scheme).

Maintaining his scoring form for United reserves and juniors, he was promoted to the senior squad for a midweek kickabout away at Queen of the South in January 1988 and then named on the bench for the visit of Spurs to SJP the following weekend.

Replacing Mirandinha during a 2-0 victory, 17 year-old Lormor was given further pitch time for the first team in a home friendly against AS Monaco, signing a three year contract soon after.

the unavailability of Newcastle's Brazilian forward then saw Anth handed a first competitive senior start that April, taking just five minutes to net the opener in a 3-1 home win over Oxford United.

He added to his tally with what proved to be the winner in a 2-1 success at Portsmouth the next weekend and finished the season leading the line as West Ham lost 2-1 on Tyneside.

While the first team jetted off to the West Indies on a post-season tour, Lormor was in the party that won an U21 tournament staged in the Dutch city of Enschede.

A summer recruitment drive saw the likes of John Robertson and John Hendrie arrive, Anth going on a month's loan to Norwich City in November 1988, as caretaker boss Colin Suggett prepared to sign trialist forward Rob McDonald.

Returning from Carrow Road a month later without making an appearance for the Canaries, City defender Andy Fensome similarly failed to catch the eye at SJP and returned to Norfolk at that point.

Featuring again for Newcastle's reserve and junior sides, Anth's next taste of senior football came when Jim Smith called him up to replace the injured Mirandinha in May 1989

Netting after just two minutes of a home game against West Ham, he was unable to prevent a 1-2 loss that sealed our relegation fate.

Featuring against Millwall and Manchester United, Lormor was pushed further down the striker queue by Smith signings Mick Quinn, Mark McGhee and Gary Brazil, returning to the reserves.

Early 1990 saw him sold to Lincoln City, where he suffered a serious knee injury but recovered - thanks in part to the surgeon who also repaired the knee of his former Magpie colleague Gazza in 1991.

A move to Peterborough followed before a spell at Chesterfield during which he scored their first-ever Wembley goal in the playoffs.

Further transfers took Tony to Preston North End, Notts County (loan), Mansfield Town, Hartlepool United, Shrewsbury Town (loan), Kettering Town (trial), Halifax Town (trial) and Telford United.

However, his time at the Shropshire-based Conference side was blighted by injury and he was forced to quit in January 2003.

Lormor joined Central Midlands League side Sutton Town and continued to play at that level, also working as Commercial Manager.

2005 saw him defect to rivals Heanor Town but a year later he was back at Sutton - as a coach - before taking on a similar role with North East Counties League side Teversal.

After a career in telecoms sales, Lormor worked in Commercial & marketing roles at both Chesterfield and Mansfield - leaving Field Mill again for pastures new in 2008. 

Later acting as Chesterfield's kitman, Tony received a cancer diagnosis in 2013. 

Overcoming that, 2021 found him undergoing treatment for a fourth manifestation of the disease.

PS: Lormor was part of a PFA initiative in 2000 aimed at fast-tracking players into becoming referees.

However, he quit after getting to Sunday League standard other commitments preventing him from officiating Saturday fixtures.

1990 Campbell Bell born, Durham.
(2006-09) 

Striker who marked his competitive debut for United's U18 side with a goal in a 2-0 away win over the smoggies in March 2007.

That goal was of special satisfaction for Bell, who had been on Boro's books for a spell before linking up with the Magpies.

However, he failed to break into the Reserve side and was released, appearing on trial for Lincoln City's second string in April 2009 but failing to win a deal at Sincil Bank.

He later became a personal trainer and worked for Durham County Council.

Despite being without the injured Jackie Milburn, the Magpies dominated much of the game, but could find no way past centre half Ray Daniel, who helped keep out a dozen corners.

Despite playing on the left wing rather than his regular centre forward spot, Don Roper netted a hat trick for the Gunners.

Roper found himself out of position again against Newcastle in 1952 - deputising in defence during the FA Cup Final, when Wally Barnes was unable to continue.

1953 24 hours after Alan Monkhouse completed his move from Millwall, United acquired inside right Ivor Broadis from Manchester City.

Two days after playing out a 1-1 draw at Charlton, United provided the opposition to the Royals in the last of a short series of midweek matches to christen the recently-installed Elm Park floodlights.

The Division Three (South) hosts made a game of it, scoring through Tommy Dixon and a penalty from Ray Reeves.

Team: Simpson, Keith, McMichael, Keery, Paterson, Casey, White, Eastham, Curry, Davies, Mitchell.

En route to doing the Double, Spurs scored four goals on their travels for the third successive time as they made it 14 games unbeaten.

Len White's two solo strikes put United ahead before Maurice Norman headed in a corner to reduce the arrears before half time.

John White levelled before Cliff Jones made it 2-3 despite claims he was offside. Gordon Hughes saw his cross missed by goalkeeper Bill Brown for 3-3, but Bobby Smith had the last word, finishing Les Allen's centre.

Following a 0-6 pasting the previous Saturday at Blackpool, Newcastle saw their run of seven home league derby games without defeat emphatically ended. 

There was a not-so-mighty debut for Wyn Davies following his arrival from Bolton Wanderers, but better was to come....

37,574
Ex-Magpies boss Gordon Lee saw his Toffees side come from behind three times to earn a point at Goodison Park.

Behind to an early effort from Mike Pejic, Tommy Craig volleyed past fellow Scot George Wood before Alan Gowling put United ahead.

The two sides then traded goals, Tommy Cassidy and then Gowling again giving the visitors the lead only for Mike Lyons and Bob Latchford (twice) to peg them back.

Peter Beardsley became the first Newcastle player to hit a home treble since Alan Gowling in 1976, as "United ran riot" according to the Football Pink.

Despite conceding five goals, City's man of the match was goalkeeper Alex Williams - whose heroics kept the score down.

Division One
P10, 8pts, 18th/20 
Chapman(64)
24,765 
The match programme for this game had a blank space next to the job title "team manager", with Willie McFaul having walked the plank three weeks earlier.

Coach Colin Suggett was in caretaker charge for a fourth game, but unable to follow up a midweek home beating of the smoggies with three points against Clough & Co.  

1991 Peterborough United (a) 0-1 (0-0)
League Cup 3rd Round 
Charlery(85)
10,382 
Having crept past Fourth Division Crewe Alexandra in the second round, Ossie Ardiles saw his Division Two Magpies eliminated by third tier opposition at London Road.

The only goal of a forgettable tie came as a replay looked odds-on - ex-Newcastle defender Peter Johnson crossing for Ken Charlery to head past Tommy Wright.

This was to be the solitary first team appearance of striker Justin Fashanu, who failed to make any impact in his 20 minute outing from the substitute's bench.

His misery was complete when the visiting dressing room was broken into and ransacked while the game was in progress - Fashanu losing £500 in cash and other players robbed of money and jewellery.

1994 Manchester United (a) 0-2 (0-1)
Premier League
P12, 29pts, 1st/22 
Pallister(11), Gillespie(77)
43,795 
Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season in both league and cup finally came to an end at the eighteenth time of asking.

Gary Pallister headed home a Ryan Giggs free kick awarded by referee Joe Worrall for Steve Watson's clean challenge on Paul Ince.

And a spirited Newcastle display was finally quashed late on by a fine effort from Keith Gillespie - catching the eye once again as he faced his future employers.

Magpies striker Andy Cole missed what would the first of four league games with shin splints, with Paul Kitson also absent following the midweek League Cup meeting between these two sides.

"We were like toothless tigers... there were too many square pegs in round holes" bemoaned Kevin Keegan afterwards.

10,000 fans watched on big screens at SJP, while those at Old Trafford without one of the 1,200 away tickets were confronted by Manc touts charging (and getting) up to £150 per ticket.

Premier League
P11, 28pts, 1st/20 
Ginola(47)
Armstrong(21)
32,279 
Newcastle's run of eight consecutive wins in all competitions ended in a well-contested Sunday clash on TV.

Geordie Chris Armstrong put Spurs ahead, only for David Ginola to level early in the second half with a well-struck shot.

Fellow future Cockerel Les Ferdinand came agonisingly close to becoming the first United  player to score in nine consecutive matches, but his late effort was blocked on the line.


1996 Ferencvaros (Hungary) (h) 4-0 (1-0)

UEFA Cup 2nd Round
2nd Leg 
Asprilla(42,58), Ginola(65)  Ferdinand(90),
35,740
Trailing 2-3 after the first leg and without Alan Shearer, United were given the opportunity to equalise when Tino Asprilla was hauled over the box after 23 minutes.

Peter Beardsley stepped up to send the visiting goalkeeper the wrong way at the Leazes End, only for his penalty to strike a post and deflect out for a goal kick.

Asprilla did net from close range before the break though and the hosts then swept the Magyars aside in the second period.

David Ginola's effort was the pick of the goals; controlling the ball with one foot, knocking it up and sending a scorching volley into the Gallowgate goal with the other.

"That is our best display yet; it was tremendous and I know it was a great advertisement for English football" enthused Kevin Keegan.

2002 Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) (h) 2-1 (0-0)
Champions League Group Match 5

Speed(58), Shearer(69pen)
Shatskikh(47)
40,185
The Ukrainians were beaten despite the absence of United's central defensive pairing of Titus Bramble and Andy O'Brien through injury.

The winner came when Alan Shearer was held in the box and the fourth official (who replaced the injured referee at half time), awarded a fairly soft penalty.

Al scored to take the fight for qualification to the final set of matches, United away to Feyenoord and Juventus in Kiev.

As Bobby Robson said: "...if Juventus play their best team and play to win and do win, then we have a big chance.

"But I can't predict results - if I could, I would be a rich man, not a football manager.

2007 A classic game of two halves for the reserve side at St. James' Park - the Alnwick variety, not the Gallowgate one.

Northern Alliance Premier Division Town made it through to half time with this Northumberland Senior Cup tie still 0-0.

However, James Troisi broke the deadlock on 53 minutes and United scored six times more in the next half hour for a 7-0 win.

Newcastle broke their Etihad hoodoo at the eleventh time of asking with an unexpected but thoroughly merited win.

Ryan Taylor claimed an assist for the opener on his first senior appearance for over two years, later making a fine goal line clearance and playing as if his life depended on it.

United should have been awarded a penalty with the score at 1-0 when Gabriel Obertan was felled by Aleksandar Kolarov who would have been red-carded but rotten referee Stuart Attwell waved away the appeals.

Obertan's shot was disallowed, Paul Dummett had a volley cleared off the line, Fabricio Coloccini hit his own post and Rob Elliot made some vital stops. What a night.

United cemented their place at the top of the Championship with a sixth consecutive league win, thanks to Aleksandar Mitrovic's second brace in a week. 

Mitro's double ensured back-to-back wins over PNE but
it was a very different performance to the 6-0 stroll against the Lilywhites in the League Cup.

A game of two halves, but Villa played no active part in either of them. Instead, a trio of sizeable breaks in play for visiting players to get medical attention resulted in 10 minutes of time added to the opening period, during which United regained their scoring touch.

That continued after the break as Callum Wilson, Joelinton and Miggy Almiron all netted and the goal frame also took a battering.
