Dropping like
flies
Wednesday evening
saw Newcastle confirm that Sven Botman will undergo surgery on a knee
problem that means he'll miss the remainder of this season.
The Dutch defender returned to action in January after nine months on the
sidelines, but after five appearances failed to feature in any of the
last five games due to a separate knee issue that now requires intervention.
Earlier: Lewis Hall
will miss the rest of the season the club have announced, after a
scan confirmed that he broke a bone in his foot during the Liverpool game.
The 20 year-old defender was one of the few players to come out of
Wednesday's Premier League defeat at Anfield with any credit, keeping Mo
Salah at bay.
Sadly though he'll not have the chance to repeat that feat against the
Egyptian at Wembley on Sunday week, also missing out on likely selection in
Thomas Tuchel's first England squad later this month.
Meanwhile Sky Sports assert that no appeal against the dismissal of Anthony
Gordon versus Brighton & Hove Albion will be made by United, meaning that he'll serve
an immediate three game suspension in all competitions.
As a consequence he'll miss the Carabao Cup Final in addition to PL games
versus West Ham and Brentford before being eligible to face Leicester City
on April 7th.
Update:
Financial
results
Tuesday saw NUFC
release their latest financial results, for the year ending June 30th 2024.
The club's revenues have increased from £140.2m in 2021, £180m in 2022 and
£250.3m in 2023 to £320.3m.
Find the results online here
PS: Regarding
SJP, the financial report doesn't give any clues as to the club's
intentions, saying only that they "continue to explore
a range of options in relation to potential enhancement or expansion of St
James' Park or the development of a new stadium."
Similarly there's no clarity on whether an enhanced training ground or a
move to a new site is pending. 2024/25:
Wembley officials
set
The Carabao Cup
Final on Sunday week will be refereed by John Brooks, the
Leicestershire official given his third Magpies game of the season,
following the 1-0 PL home win over Arsenal and 2-0 semi-final first leg
success against the Gunners at the Emirates.
Brooks has previously taken charge of a Newcastle versus Liverpool Premier
League game; Jurgen Klopp's side winning 2-1 at Gallowgate in August 2023
despite having Virgil van Dijk dismissed. VAR
duties will be overseen by Stuart Attwell.
Update:
Ticket updates
Tickets for Monday's Premier League visit to West Ham will be in digital

Meanwhile, tickets for the Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool at Wembley
are in paper form and began dropping through letterboxes on Tuesday.

Match report
Quarter Final draw:
Fulham v Crystal Palace
Preston North End v Aston Villa
Bournemouth v Manchester City
Brighton v Nottingham Forest
Defeat means that Newcastle have no game between Sunday
March 16th (Liverpool at Wembley in the Carabao Cup Final) and
Wednesday April 2nd (Brentford at home in the Premier League).
A warm weather training camp in Saudi Arabia is planned after the
Carabao Cup Final for those players who won't then be away on
international duty.
The PL home game against Ipswich Town on
Saturday April 26th - semi-final weekend - goes ahead as announced,
the Tractor Boys exiting in the Fifth Round.
And finally, our exit from the competition means that the PL visit
to Arsenal on or around Sunday May 18th will now go ahead - the FA
Cup Final takes place on Saturday May 17th, with no PL fixtures that
day.

 Newcastle's
U21 side continue their pursuit of a PL2 play-off spot on Friday evening, when they
face their Boro counterparts at Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park.
It's a 7pm kick-off, with the hosts yet to confirm admission details

With four games left, United sit sixteenth in the 26 team league - the
lowest position that leads to qualification for the end-of-season knockout
phase.

Graham Potter's side are bidding for a third consecutive PL win following a 1-0
victory at Arsenal and 2-0 home success against Leicester City.
An FA Cup exit to Aston Villa meant that they have a 11 day gap between
games before hosting Newcastle.
On home territory this season, the Hammers have lost seven, won five and
drawn two. They have recorded just two clean sheets during those
games.

Alexander Isak is one strike away from becoming the first Magpie to hit
20 PL goals in successive seasons.
He's netted five times against West Ham for Newcastle in the PL so far, a
total exceeded by the half dozen he's hit against both Spurs and Nottingham
Forest.
The next three point return for
Newcastle on the road will be their 150th PL away win.

Internationals:
Toon trio in
action
Newcastle
youngsters Sam Alabi, Michael Mills and George Mair are
in the
20-strong England U16 squad currently in Spain contesting a four
team tournament.
The three Magpies were all in the starting line-up for Friday's
opener against Colombia at the Pinatar Arena, England winning 4-0
but none of our lads netting.
Sunday saw England defeat
Denmark 7-3 at Pinatar, with the Magpies trio all named on the
bench. MIlls definitely got some pitch time and scored once.
England's concluding game take place on Wednesday at Pinatar,
against France.
U21s:
Comeback
complete
Wolves U18s 2 Newcastle U18s 4
Newcastle's
U18 side were in the Black Country on Saturday, facing Wolves at
their Compton Park HQ.
United came close to opening the scoring after 13 minutes, Kacey Wooster
almost catching home 'keeper George Hardy off his line with a lob from
distance.
Making his first start at this level, Newcastle's Kyle Fitzgerald then
pinged a shot off the outside of the post from just inside the area with 24
minutes played.
The home side went ahead six minutes before half time, when a snap shot from
Mateus Mane ended up in the bottom corner of Will Anderson's goal.
A smart stop from the visiting 'keeper at his near post then prevented
striker Mane from doubling the lead just before the interval.
Winless in their last nine league games, Wolves went 2-0 up five minutes
after the resumption when a corner kick fell to Mason Stevens. His initial shot
was blocked by Anderson but Ollie Stafford converted the rebound.
That two goal advantage lasted less than 10 minutes though, before Jake
Durrant's cross from the United left was headed back across goal by Kyle
Fitzgerald for Alex O'Donovan to fire home from barely a yard out.
And the lead was wiped out with 12 minutes to play, O'Donovan setting Mo
Waddani free on the left and his centre slotted home by Fitzgerald - his
first Toon goal.
Waddani then thought he'd put his side ahead for the first time in the
match, only to see it ruled out by a raised assistant's flag.
Within seconds though the ball was in the Wolves net again, Wooster rounding
the 'keeper and Bjorn Marwa getting the final touch to send it into his own
net.
That came in the 85th minute and it was 4-2 soon after; Fitzgerald's driving
run doing the damage and Wooster making no mistake with his third goal in
two games.
Team: Anderson, Bloomer, Durrant, Johnson, Epia, Cogdon, Fitzgerald,
Harper, Wooster (Yeutembip 90+2), O'Donovan, Waddani (Lucas 90+2).
Subs n/u: Holland, Ndiweni, Gilligan.
Booked: Epia
The Magpies were forced to make changes from the side that defeated
Liverpool 3-1 last weekend, Logan Watts promoted to the U21s and Sam Alabi
and Michael Mills away on international duty with England.
That also resulted in a very youthful bench, with a debut at
this level for 15 year-old defender Lesecond Yeutembip, fresh from making
his England U15 bow.

On This Day in History |

5th March |

Born Or Died:
1952 Keith Kennedy
born, sunderland.
(1968-72)
The elder brother of fellow
Newcastle left back Alan, Keith appeared just once for
Newcastle's first team - in a 0-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest in April 1972.
Exiting SJP shortly after that, he signed for Bury and went on to make over 400 league
starts in a decade with the Shakers.
Awarded a testimonial in May 1982, the opposition were fittingly
provided by his brother's Liverpool side, Bury winning 8-7.
Keith's small contribution to musical history came in 1972 when a
group of Bury players and local school kids recorded "Up The
Shakers" with instrumental backing from members of 10cc, pop
pickers....
Later moves took him to Mansfield Town, Barrow and Morecambe before retiring -
after which he ran a greetings card business.
 1973 Death of Wilf
Feeney, 62.
(1930-32)
1982 David Cowan born, Whitehaven.
(1998-2002)
Defender who appeared for Newcastle at Academy and reserve
level before being released in 2002.
After trials at Walsall, Livingston, Wigan and Oldham,
David joined Motherwell but was to suffer a double ankle
fracture in a game against Celtic that sidelined him for a
year and put his career in doubt.
Returning to fitness but failing to win his place back, Cowan later served both St.Johnstone and Ross County.
Returning to England for a trial at Blackpool,
Cowan joined Gretna but found himself a free agent
when they were forced to resign from the SPL in 2008.
Snapped up by Dundee, former Magpie reserve
colleague Colin McMenamin also made the same switch from Gretna and
Cowan became a regular starter at Dens Park, earning an extended
two-year deal.
However, he found himself sidelined once again in the latter
part of 2009, having surgery to cure a groin problem.
Released after Dundee failed to win promotion,
a short-term deal at Livingston followed in January 2011.
Beginning the following season with East Fife, David
switched to Cowdenbeath and helped the Blue Brazil become
Scottish Second Division Champions.
He then agreed a further one season deal to remain at Central
Park before briefly rejoining East Fife in February 2014.
1994 Michael
Riley born, Newcastle.
(2010-13)
Left back who
debuted for the U18s in August 2010, appearing as a substitute in a 2-2
home draw with MK Dons.
The nephew of ex-Magpie Ian Bogie, Michael made
his reserve team bow in a 2-1 win over Arsenal at Gallowgate days after his 17th birthday in March 2011.
Netting his first U18s goal away to Crewe the following month,
Riley then rounded off his season by coming off the bench in
the final of the Northumberland Senior Cup as United overcame
Blyth Spartans at SJP.
Loaned to Spartans in December 2012, Riley was released by
United the following month and went to Hartlepool United on
trial with fellow discard Marcus Maddison.
However, short-term deals for both players were ruled out due to Football League regulations restricting the Poolies wage bill compared to their turnover.
Michael later played for Northern League side Newcastle
Benfield, linking up with League Two Oxford United for an
unsuccessful trial during November 2014.
He then joined Jarrow Roofing from Newcastle Benfield in
July 2015, moving on to Blyth Town during January 2017.

nights at Dublin's Dalymount

following a quartet of
injuries.
With all three substitutes
used, Alan Kennedy was unable
to continue and limped off in

uneventful game.
Midfielder Tony Green
completed 90 minutes of his
comeback after six months out,
while there was a first senior

Terry McDermott.
Irving Nattrass and Stewart
Barrowclough were absent due to selection for
England U23s while

2007
It was just one defeat in twenty home reserve
league games for Newcastle after a goalless draw against Bolton, but
that came as little comfort to anyone present at a windy and wet Kingston
Park.
Neither side conjured up anything to excite the sparse crowd,
although United 'keeper Fraser Forster was busier than his opposite number,
veteran Ian Walker.
Debutant trialist Lee Kerr was paired in attack with Albert Luque and the
Whitley Bay forward almost got off to a dream start after three minutes, but
his header went narrowly wide.

2009 The FA confirmed that Steven Taylor would face no further action
after his booking

Referee Steve Bennett confirmed that he cautioned Taylor for an incident
late in the first half; only later made aware of a foul in the lead-up to that bookable offence.
Taylor had made contact with Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder (causing him to
clutch his face) before the
tackle on Michael Carrick that he was actually booked for.

Leon Best's sixth goal of the season wasn't enough to ensure that United
collected maximum points, as they ended a run of three successive home draws
with defeat by the Toffees.
And rather than reaching for the dizzy heights of the top six, the Magpies were
left glancing over their shoulder despite remaining in ninth spot - after
results elsewhere made the race to avoid relegation incredibly open.
