2025/26:
Hammer horror
West Ham 3 Newcastle 1
Newcastle's
woes on the road continued in East London on Sunday, tossing away an early lead
and beaten by a side winless at home since February, whose fans
staged sit-in protests aimed at their owners after the final
whistle.
Eddie Howe's
side deserved precisely nothing from their disjointed and listless
performance, which was as poor as anything seen in his tenure and
extended their winless away run in the Premier League to eight
games.
They failed to take advantage of some hefty slices of luck in an
opening 45 minutes that could have seen the hosts score more
than the two goals they were gifted.
A lengthy VAR intervention overturned a penalty award as Mailk
Thiaw's slight touch on the ball saw referee Rob Jones' check the
pitchside monitor and change his decision.
Jacob Murphy gave United the lead just 26 seconds after West Ham's
Jarrod Bowen hit the inside of the post, the Newcastle winger
finishing smartly after being put through down the right.
But that was as good as it got for the green-clad Magpies, who
seemed to think that just turning up here would earn victory - their
arrogance reinforced by the early goal.
The
penalty escape failed to give the visitors a jolt and although they stayed in front until the 35th minute,
their
lethargy was punished when Nick Pope punched a cross he could have caught;
the goalkeeper pushing a speculative 25 yard effort from Lucas Paqueta into the net.
Worse was to follow when the Hammers marauded forward in first
half added time; Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross from the right deflected inside the near post by Sven Botman.
That
signalled three half-time changes by Howe with Will Osula replacing
the isolated Nick Woltemade, Jacob Ramsey coming on for the
anonymous Anthony Gordon and Fabian
Schar swapped for the awful Emil Krafth - filling in at right back
in the absence of illness victim Kieran Trippier.
But the Swedish defender wasn't on his own and any of the starting eleven could
have been substituted, such was the woefulness of the opening
period.
It seemed impossible that things could get worse but despite
dominating possession, Newcastle created almost nothing after the
interval; crosses into the box invariably aimless.
Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga were introduced, Murphy and Botman
making way but there was still very little threat on Alphonse
Areola's goal, one header from Osula going straight into the
'keeper's arms.
Pushing forward, the visitors were inevitably vulnerable on the
break and in the final moments of time added on, home substitute Tomas Soucek
bundled the ball in after Pope had saved but was unable to hold on
to it. A lengthy VAR check this time belatedly confirmed the absence
of an offside.
Defeat left Newcastle languishing in 13th position in the
table with the meagre return of 12 points from ten games.
Everton could make that 14th if they beat the mackems in the Monday
night live TV game.
Full match report to follow.

After the game Eddie Howe said:
“We were unrecognisable in some aspects of our game. We were
better in the second half but not great.
"It didn’t look like a Newcastle team.... we weren’t where we needed to be mentally. We’ll
go away and learn from today. It could be a turning point that we
could work to our advantage.
"I didn't like the body language of the group, but that can manifest
its outcome in many different ways, fatigue, whatever.
"We rested a lot of players in midweek to try and give them
fresh energy, but sometimes it can just be the routine of preparing
for another game can catch up with you.
"I don't want to look like I'm looking for excuses, I'm just
trying to myself figure out what happened today.
"It's never one thing, there's always a combination of factors, but
certainly I've never accused my players of lacking effort. They're
too good of professionals for that."
On making three substitutions at half-time:
"I could have taken anyone off. It's very rare to feel that way.
I haven’t felt like that since I’ve been Newcastle manager. The team
needed shaking up.
"It’s a concern when you’re not where you want to be, because you're
always in a position where you're chasing results. We haven't hit
our rhythm in the Premier League, not consistently. We've had some
highs but today is a low.
"When you’re going from competition to
competition the focus changes quickly. That’s a challenge we have to
prepare for better."
Referee: Robert Jones - second Toon posting of the season for
the Merseyside whistler, having taken charge of our 0-0 draw at
Bournemouth.
VAR: Paul Howard.
Stats:
Another rotten day out for the green away strip.
Newcastle have failed to win any of the last eight Premier
League away games, their longest barren run in that competition
since the opening nine games of 2021/22.
A second PL goal of the season for Jacob Murphy saw him reach
21 strikes in that competition. He has one less than current
colleague Joelinton and ex-Mag Laurent Robert.
Murphy's fifth minute strike was the quickest by any Magpie in
league and cup games this season and the speediest since Sandro
Tonali's second minute effort at home to Chelsea in the Premier
League back in May 2025.
One has to go back to April 2025 and United's most recent PL
away win at Leicester City for a quicker goal on the road, scored in
two minutes by....Jacob Murphy.
Murphy's effort at the London Stadium is the first time that
Newcastle have scored the opening goal in a PL away game but gone on
to lose since Alexander Isak netted at Anfield back in August
2022.

U18s:

Newcastle U18s 3 Everton U18s

United's U18s rose to third in the table on Saturday, thanks a
deserved victory over Everton that ended a run of three successive
losses at this level to the Merseyside Blues.
The visitors were fortunate to escape a third minute attack that
ended with goalkeeper Douglass Lukjanciks clearing an effort from
his defender Lewis Evans from behind the line - something that the
match officials didn't spot.
Newcastle's opening goal wasn't long in arriving though; a neat
exchange of passes between right winger Mo Waddani and Matty Taylor
on the edge of the box setting up the former to convert with a low
shot in the ninth minute.
Magpies captain Jude Cogdon shot against the goal frame midway
through the opening half before Waddani tried to repay the
compliment by playing Taylor in - only for the visiting goalkeeper
to palm the shot away for a corner.
United's left winger Matheos Ferreira doubled the lead four minutes
after the interval before Alex O'Donovan added a third just after
the hour following a scramble in the box.
The Toffees did reduce the arrears on 71 minutes when Kean Wren
swept home a first-time effort from Shea Pita's right wing centre,
but the destination of the points was never in doubt and United
missed a couple of late half-chances to improve their goal
difference.
Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Durrant, Moran, Old, Cogdon, Waddani
(Patterson 87), M.Taylor (Lucas 80), Hutchison (Pinnington 73),
O'Donovan, Ferreira (Seldon 73).
Sub n/u: Anderson.

Youngsters advance
Newcastle U17s have progressed to the knockout stages of this season's
Premier League Cup,
with three wins from as many games seeing them win their group.
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 in the quarter finals are Blackburn Rovers, Crystal Palace, Leicester
City, Liverpool, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham.
News of the draw is awaited.
Old boy :
Defender sighted
Former Newcastle defender Jamal
Lewis is back in the game, signing a short-term contract at
Championship side Preston North End.
The 27 year-old became a free agent last summer when his Magpies
contract expired, having not played since his loan spell at
Brazilians Sao Paulo ended in November 2024.
Saturday saw him appear from the bench in the closing stages of
North End's 2-0 victory at Southampton.
Internationals:
Toon Teens in action
England and Scotland U17s are currently in European Championship
qualifying action in Scotland, both sides playing their second game
on Friday.
With Newcastle's George Mair in goal and midfielder Sam
Alabi captaining the side, the young Lions lost 0-1 to Lithuania
at Cumbernauld.
Scotland and Magpies defender Oliver Goodbrand then led the
Scotland side beaten 0-2 by Sweden at Airdrie a short time later,
collecting a booking for his troubles.
Tuesday afternoon had seen England
and Scotland meet at Airdrie, the Scots winning that 1-0 with all
three young Magpies starting for their respective sides.
The third and final set of games on Monday saw England beaten 5-3 by
Sweden, with Mair remaining on the bench and Alabi introduced in the
closing moments.
The Young Lions now cannot qualify for next year's finals, dropping
into a phase of the competition that decides promotion and
relegation for the next U19 Euros.
Meanwhile, Scotland defeated
Lithuania 4-1 with Oliver appearing from the bench with the scoring
complete - a result that sees them advance to the next stage of
qualification for the finals in Estonia next May.
Elsewhere, United's Lesecond Yeutembip is with England U16s
at the Football Federations Cup in Antalya.
The 15 year-old defender was in the starting line-up for their
opener on Thursday, England defeating Wales 5-1.
Saturday then saw England beaten 2-3 by host nationa Turkey, with
Yeutembip starting on the bench.

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.

Born Or Died:
1999 Kelland Watts born, Alnwick.
(2016-24)
With United's Academy from the age of
eight, Kelland made his U18 debut from the bench
during a 0-1 loss to the mackems in 2016.
That was in midfield but he ended up as something of a utility player also
featuring in defence and attack.
A first international call-up saw Watts represent
England U19s at the 2018 European Championship
Finals in Finland.
Debuting for the U23s at West Bromwich Albion that
August, Kell was an unused first team substitute in
the Premier League at Fulham in May 2019.
A senior team bow against Wolves at the Asia Trophy in
China came two months later before signing a three
year deal and joining League Two sides Stevenage and
Mansfield Town on half-season loans.
The COVID season break saw Watts back on Tyneside, a
temporary relaxing of the "three clubs in one
season" rule leading to a Premier League bow from
the bench in Newcastle's season closer at home to
Liverpool in July 2020.
A season-long loan to League One side Plymouth
Argyle was then agreed a few weeks later.
Playing for Newcastle in pre-season ahead of the
2021/22 season, Kell was belatedly cut from the
squad - a delay claimed to have torpedoed a pending
loan switch to a Championship club.
A season-long loan was agreed to another League One
side - Wigan Athletic - where he helped them win the
League One title.
Returning to Newcastle's senior squad, a knee injury
sustained during pre-season in Austria sidelined
Kell, although he made a season-long loan switch to
Peterborough United in September while recuperating.
He made 11 Posh appearances before returning to
Tyneside and then returned to Wigan for a further
loan in 2023.
Released by the Magpies in May 2024, he joined League
One side Cambridge United.

What Else?
1894 Bury (a)
1-4 (1-3)
Division Two
Thompson(20)
Millar(29),
Ostler(1-2),
Lee(41,1-4)
3,115
The first-ever
game between the Shakers and the Magpies ended with the visitors roundly routed
at Gigg Lane.
After going ahead against the league leaders, United's Bobby Creilly was injured
after Bury levelled and forced off, reducing his side to ten men for 55 minutes.
1900 Preston North End
(a)
1-0 (0-0)
Division One
Laidlaw(57)
7,000
In what was described as "tropical weather" by one
correspondent, United won at Deepdale for the first time
in the league thanks to Jimmy Laidlaw's debut strike for
the club.
1906 Derby County (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
9,000
A depleted Newcastle side earned a point at The
Baseball Ground despite ending the game with just nine
men on the field.
Already without Jack Carr and Albert Gosnell, United
lost John Dodds to injury in the 38th
minute before Bill Appleyard limped off 15 minutes
from full time.
 1923 Manchester City
(a)
1-1 (1-1)
Division One
Mitchell(12)
Barnes(20pen)
27,652
Newcastle avoided what would have been their sixth
successive away defeat, but their first visit to the
recently-opened Maine Road was anything but memorable -
as the Athletic News correspondent confirmed:
"There were bright interludes, but they were few and far
between and never anything approaching sustained
excellence on either side. For the most part it was a
drab monotone of mediocrity."
1928 Huddersfield Town
(h)
4-1 (2-0)
Division One
Boyd(36), Gallacher(40,52), Lang(47)
Goodall(68pen)
38,620
Centre half Jack Hill was given the captaincy on his
home debut and his influence was noticeable, as United
ended a run of three successive league defeats.
1934 Barnsley (h)
4-1 (3-1)
Division Two
Boyd(19), Smith(30,50), Murray(43)
Ashton(44)
7,959
The first-ever league meeting of these two sides
went decisively in favour of Newcastle.
1945 Liverpool (a)
0-3 (0-2)
Wartime
Fagan(0-1,0-2,90)
33,818
United travelled to Anfield
without
future Liverpool
player Albert Stubbins, who was playing for an FA XI against a British Army
side in Dusseldorf.
He bagged a hat-trick, while Billy Fagan collected all
three goals against United on Merseyside.
1950 Newcastle Reserves were beaten 0-4 by Berwick Rangers Reserves in a
friendly staged at Shielfield Park.
All the goals came in the second half; through
Mountcastle (65,84), Paris (75) and Lindores (88).
Team: Lowery, Storey, Cook,
Campbell, Robinson, Jackson, Robinson, Sword, Tulip, Coulter, Prior.
 1951
Liverpool (h)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
Foulkes(79)
Payne(83)
50,132
Billy Foulkes marked his home debut by heading in the 27th goal Newcastle had scored in eight home games that
season.
This was the first of just two games for Hugh Cameron,
who deputised for the injured Bobby Mitchell.
The visitors were without SJP old boy Albert Stubbins,
recovering from surgery on a leg injury in a Tyneside
hospital. A delegation of Anfield players and officials
visited him before the game.
1951 Newcastle reserves were in Central League
action at Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-2
thanks in part to a quick-fire brace from 17 year-old
debutant forward Alex Tait.
 1956
Leeds United (h)
2-3 (1-1)
Division One
Keeble(36, Davies(81)
McKenna(22,68),
Charles(74)
49,034
There was a memorable Leeds debut for Blaydon-born
Frank McKenna, who netted twice.
John Charles also scored for the visitors and
dominated the game, reports describing how he,
"coasted away with the touch of a master and stood
out as man of the match".
 1962
Chelsea (a)
2-4 (1-3)
Division Two
Suddick(37),
Fell(60)
Tambling(1), Bridges(2,82),
Murray(34)
34,428
Football magazine "Soccer Star" commented
that "United's singing supporters were reduced to a
dry-mouthed crackle" when Bobby Tambling opened the
scoring at Stamford Bridge after 35 seconds, closely followed by Barry
Bridges hitting a second.
A third followed through Albert Murray before Suddick got
one back, and Jimmy Fell scored direct from a corner.
Just when United looked to force a point, the home side
broke away again and Bridges claimed a second with nine
minutes left.
 1971
Coventry City (h)
5-1 (2-1)
(6-2 on aggregate)
Texaco Cup 2nd Round,
2nd Leg
Macdonald(11), Tudor(41,82), Nattrass(72),
og(Blockley)(80)
Blockley(32)
25,230
United ended a seven match losing run in all
competitions as recent signing Tony Green made an
eye-catching home bow.
City defender Jeff Blockley netted for the fourth
successive game against United, but later put through his
own goal.
 1973
Stoke City (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
Gibb(35), McDermott(70)
Ritchie(53)
28,135
After scoring for the reserves the previous Saturday,
Rocky Hudson made his senior debut from the bench,
replacing fellow midfielder Terry McDermott.
Ex-Magpie George Eastham was at SJP - but only in his
role as the Potters' assistant boss, injury preventing him from playing.
 1979
Oldham Athletic (a)
0-1 (0-1)
Division Two
Clements(5)
11,486
Poor marking allowed Kenny Clements to head past Steve
Hardwick and the Latics held on for the win, with Peter Withe's header against the bar the closest United came to
an equaliser.
Meanwhile the reserves took a point from a home fixture
with Preston North End, John Connolly firing home from
close range in a 1-1 draw. He was one a number of senior
players involved, along with Terry Hibbitt, John Bird and
Tommy Cassidy.
 1981
Berwick Rangers (a)
3-2 (3-0)
Friendly
Wharton(21), Trewick(24,38)

ground, Kenny Wharton on target against the club he
would briefly appear for eight years later.
Team: Carr

Varadi, Wharton, Waddle.
 1984
Luton Town (a)
2-2 (1-1)
Division One
Beardsley(14), Heard(79)
Parker(26), B.Stein(87)
10,009
Jack Charlton's Magpies made it ten league and cup games without defeat, but
were denied victory at Kenilworth Road after conceding a
late leveller.
Charlton blamed goalkeeper Kevin Carr, telling
reporters "He's causing himself
problems and he's causing the rest of the lads problems.
If he goes on like this he is going to force me into a
situation where I will have to go out and buy another
goalkeeper.
"We are giving away so many things at the near post
when he is involved, it is become
embarrassing."
 1990
Hull City (a)
1-2 (0-1)
Division Two
McGhee(80)
Jacobs(27), Swan(75)
8,375
A wretched day at Boothferry Park on and off the field, as a meek United
side made it ten games without victory, hoisting the white flag to a Tigers side
who had the worst defence in the division.
Away fans clashed with police meanwhile, following
bizarre attempts to move them to another terrace in mid-game.
Youtube footage is online here
 1996
Middlesbrough (h)
3-1 (1-0)
Premier League
Beardsley(40pen,69), Lee(74)
Beck(87)
36,577
Peter Beardsley indulged in a unique goal celebration after his
penalty conversion at the Gallowgate End - running to son Drew, a ball boy
behind that goal.
His fellow Geordies were less happy; Lee Clark submitting a transfer
request, an injured Alan Shearer watching from the sidelines and smoggies boss
Bryan Robson labelling David Ginola a diving cheat. As if.
2001 Those hardy fans watching United's U17s at Bullocksteads were
rewarded with a 5-1 trouncing of Coventry City.
Although the Sky Blues took an early lead, striker
Lewis Guy hit a nine minute treble en route to scoring all five home goals.
 2001
Aston Villa (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Premiership
Bellamy(37,82), Shearer(50)
51,057
Alan Shearer's 97th strike in a black and white shirt was one of his very
best, crashing a swerving volley past Peter Schmeichel from the right edge of
the box at the Gallowgate End.
Craig Bellamy's brace wasn't bad either, with the Welsh forward supplying a
stunning volley to open the scoring against John Gregory's side. He then rounded
things off nicely by outpacing the Villa defence and threading the ball through
the advancing Schmeichel's legs.
Olivier Bernard made his first team debut as a late substitute for
Laurent Robert.

 2007
Portsmouth (h)
1-4 (1-3)
Premiership
og(Campbell)(16)
Pamarot(8),
Mwaruwari(9), Utaka(11), Kranjcar(71)
51,490
One corker and two gifts was how we summed up the trio of goals Pompey
scored in a 197 second period during the first half.
As part of a Premier League initiative aimed at improving understanding of
disability, Claudio Cacapa spent the day before the game
blindfolded - unfortunately he still seemed to be similarly attired as he failed
to prevent the visitors' second and third strikes....
Michael Owen's shot was deflected in by future Magpie Sol Campbell to reduce the arrears, but
United failed to build on that and a Steven Taylor rick for
Pompey's fourth cemented their first victory on Tyneside since 1949.
NUFC.com match report
 2008 Aston Villa (h)
2-0 (0-0)
Premier League
Martins(60,83)
44,567
Obafemi Martins
capped a fine individual and team performance with the goals that put United up
to the dizzy heights of 14th.
JFK's side had started the game bottom of the
league but three vital points against the Premier League's form team took us
above the mackems on goal difference.
A claim of racial abuse by Joey Barton directed at Gabriel Agbonlahor emerged
after full time, but no formal complaint was made to the FA.
NUFC.com match report
2009 In an attempt to quell the anger about the renaming of St. James'
Park, Managing Director Derek Llambias said:
"We are just
basically looking to explore and maximise our revenues. We have a great
opportunity at the moment because our sponsorships are coming to an end - a kit
sponsor, shirt sponsor and then we have stadium rights sponsor.
"Our intention is to put a package
together that would include, for instance for the stadium rights, a jumbo screen
included in that sponsorship which is great for the fans as well."
That eventually translated itself into a deal with Wonga - although their
adverts jostled for space within SJP with Sports Direct, who paid a pittance for
their many spots. Maximising revenues?
2012 Newcastle reserves shipped six goals without reply to Spurs at their
Enfield base. Future Magpie Andros Townsend appeared for the home side.

Premier League
Perez(65)
49,157
A
first Premier League win of the season arrived at the eleventh time of
asking: Ayoze Perez glancing Ki's free-kick
home.
Three precious points dragged United up two places into 17th, despite Rafa Benitez having to make three enforced substitutions following a trio of
on-field injuries.
NUFC.com match report
2021 Following the collapse of talks with managerial target, Unai Emery,
United reportedly looked to other candidates - former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe one
of those heavily linked.
2023
A medical emergency saw United's PL2 game
against Leicester City at their Seagrave training ground abandoned before half
time.
The score was 2-2 at that
point; City two up through Will Alves and Chris Popov only
for a quick-fire Dylan Stephenson brace to put Newcastle level.
A member of the Foxes
medical team then took ill and the game was called off. He
was thankfully given the all-clear later that evening. The full game was later
restaged - and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Team: Brown,
Wiggett, Scott, Savage, Heffernan, Carlyon, Crossley, De
Bolle, Stephenson, Huntley, Emerson. Subs n/u:
C.Thompson, Harris, McArthur, Stanton, M.Ndiweni.
