Carabao Cup :
Manchester
City (a)
Attempting to overturn a 0-2
deficit following the first leg, The Magpies are in Carabao Cup
second leg action at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
It's an 8pm kick-off and Newcastle will be backed by a
travelling contingent of 5,359 supporters.
Were the aggregate score to be level at the end of normal time, an
additional 30 minutes will be played, followed by a penalty shootout
if required to determine the winner.
The identity of the team that the winners of this tie will face at
Wembley Stadium on Sunday March 22nd will already be known, Arsenal
hosting Chelsea at the Emirates this Tuesday. The Gunners
lead 3-2 after the first leg.
The most recent Newcastle goalscorer at this ground was DeAndre Yedlin back in September
2018 - 690 minutes ago.
The last away team to record a two goal victory in the League Cup
was....Newcastle, back in October 2014.
Team: Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Joelinton remain
unavailable, with Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley also both missing
out again. Sven Botman is back in training
Assuming he features, Harvey Barnes will
reach a century of appearances in all competitions for Newcastle.

MCFC:
Although the limitation of playing for just one club in the
competition has been abolished, defender Marc Guehi isn't eligible
to face Newcastle as his transfer from Crystal Palace wasn't
finalised before the semi-final first leg.
Jeremy Doku, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic and
Savinho are all sidelined.
Ahead of our visit, Pepe Guardiola's side drew 2-2 at Spurs in the Premier
League on Sunday.
Referee: Tony Harrington - a first Newcastle game this season
for the Hartlepool official, last seen taking charge of our final
day Premier League home loss to Everton in May.

Deadline day:
Departure
predicted
Sky Sports report that long-serving Newcastle
defender Jamaal Lascelles is set to make a permanent
departure today, signing for Championship side Leicester
City.
Confirmation of that may not come until Tuesday, with the
EFL working through a backlog of completed transfers.
The 32 year-old who is out of contract at Gallowgate this
summer made the most recent of his 253 competitive senior
Magpie appearances against Arsenal back in September.
Media claims of deadline day departures for Sandro Tonali
(Arsenal) and Joe Willock (Fulham) were rubbished while there
were no arrivals at SJP.
Speaking of ex-Magpies, Moussa Sissoko ended his
second stint at Watford after completing a move to Greek
side Panathinnaikos, who are managed by Rafa Benitez.
Allan
Saint-Maximin joined French side RC Lens after leaving
Mexicans Club America while
Southampton's Adam Armstrong made a (temporary) Premier
League return with Wolves.

U18s :
No reward for late show
Manchester City U18s 3 Newcastle U18s 1
Saturday saw Newcastle
U18s become the latest side to succumb to Manchester City, as the
Northern Section Premier League leaders made it 12 wins from 13
games.
Beaten 1-7 on their last visit to City's Football Academy, United
got off to the worst possible start on eight minutes when an unforced
error by goalkeeper Roman Dowell allowed Dexter Oliver the easiest of finishes.
The visiting custodian then kept his side in the game with two
eye-catching stops to prevent Xavier Parker scoring.
That lead was extended four minutes before half-time when Christian
Dunbar-McDonald fired in a low shot - just seconds after Matheos
Ferreira had run from his own half deep into the City box but failed
to find the unmarked Michael Mills.
An improved showing from the young Magpies after the interval saw
them create three half-chances from close range in the opening five
minutes.
A penalty shout when a defender barged into United's Rory Finneran
was ignored by referee Steven Taylor (not that one) and the hosts
grabbed a third goal their next attack - Dunbar-McDonald smashing
home in the 58th minute.
Undaunted by the increasing deficit, the visitors pushed forward at
every opportunity, substitute Kacey Wooster quickly into the action
and denied by Ben Vickery.
Newcastle did get on the scoresheet with 15 minutes of normal time
remaining, when a long free kick from Mason Miley was headed home by Henry Johnson.
Michael Mills then saw his effort roll just wide of the target
before a handball in the box gave United a
penalty in the third minute of added time. However, Wooster could
only direct it straight at the 'keeper.
Team: Dowell, Johnson, Morgan (Hutchison 84), Durrant, Moran, Finneran,
Tikka-Lemba (M.Taylor 63), M.Miley, Ferreira (Wooster 63), Lucas (Pinnington
77), Mills.
Sub n/u: Anderson.
Booked: Ferreira, Lucas.
Update:
Loan lads
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
Sunday saw Cadiz beaten 0-1 at Huesca in La Liga 2 with the
Magpie winger (pictured) completing 85 minutes.
NUFC.com correspondent TT noted that after a quiet first half,
"Antonito" came more into his own and played well.
Harshly booked for a legitimate tackle, he subsequently sent over
two decent crosses from the left, both of which were directed wide
by the Cadiz forward Alvaro Pascual.
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
A 1-0 home win over Norwich City on Saturday boosted Boro's bid
for automatic promotion from the Championship. Targett completed
another 90 minutes.
Harrison Ashby/Joe White (Bradford City):
A welcome three points for the Bantams in League One on
Saturday thanks to a 1-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers at Valley
Parade, but both on-loan Mags were unused subs.
Max Thompson (Ayr United):
A winning debut for Max on Saturday, as Ayr defeated
Raith Rovers 2-1 at home in the Scottish Championship.
Our man at Somerset Park said, "Thompson superb today,
made one unbelievable save in the second half. Definitely a huge
upgrade for us!"
Charlie McArthur (Airdrieonians):
90 minutes in defence for Charlie on Saturday, as his current
side won 2-0 at Dunfermline in the Scottish Championship.
Joe Brayson (Morpeth Town):
Another start for the forward as Town lost 0-1 at home to Guiseley
in the Northern Premier League on Saturday.
It's unclear whether this was the final game of Joe's short
loan spell at the Highwaymen.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
The winger watched from the bench as Lorient secured a 2-1
home win over Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
Saturday saw a 0-2 loss at Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie,
with the midfielder an unused replacement.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A load of balearics on Monday night, as Vlach & Co. were
beaten 1-4 at Real
Mallorca in La Liga.

(h)
The Magpies return to Premier League action this coming
Saturday, looking to end a winless three game run in that
competition when the Bees arrive on Tyneside.
This will be Brentford's twelfth visit to SJP and they are
winless in the previous 11. Newcastle have never failed to
score against them in a home game.

BFC:
Kevin Schade will be suspended following his red card
against Aston Villa on Sunday. The midfielder netted the
opener in Brentford's 3-1 win over United last November.
Despite playing over half the game with 10 men, Brentford
won 1-0 at Villa Park - ending a run of successive losses.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to

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

From the BBC, United's

is much worse than we thought - they're
still fighting on five fronts apparently:

On This Day in History |

3rd February |

Born Or Died:
1911 Death of
Jock Smith, 43 (approx.)
(1894-96)
1921 Ernest Brown born, South Shields
(1945-47)
Inside left who joined the Magpies from
his hometown club but failed to make a
senior appearance before joining Southend United.
Returning to South Shields from the Shrimpers
in 1951, Ernie passed away in 1976.
1968
Darren Peacock born, Bristol.
(1994-98)
Central defender who held
our transfer record after his £2.7m
purchase from QPR - not bad for a player
released by Bristol Rovers and with spells
at Hereford United and Newport County on his
CV.
Darren's debut came in a 3-0 home win
against Norwich City in March 1994, while
the following season saw Peacock and Co.
enjoy a brief taste of UEFA Cup action and
notch his first Newcastle goal, during a
memorable 3-3 home draw with Spurs.
A regular performer in the following season,
the 1996/97 campaign saw Peacock paired to
good effect with Philippe Albert or Steve
Howey - although a ploy to play all three
was quickly abandoned.
That season had also seen him open the
scoring in the memorable "Howay 5-0" defeat
of Manchester United and retain his place in
the side as Kevin Keegan gave way to Kenny
Dalglish.
However, the 1997/98 season was to be
Darren's last at SJP, Nicos Dabizas arriving
and partnering Howey in the FA Cup Final - Albert
getting the nod over Peacock for bench duty
at Wembley.
Joining Blackburn Rovers on a Bosman free,
Darren was unable to prevent their
relegation and in the third and final season
of his Ewood contract and was then demoted
to the reserves by new boss, Graham Souness.
A loan move to West Ham in September 2000
was quickly followed by a temporary switch
to Wolves - the team he was playing for when
his career came to an abrupt end.
A League Cup tie at
Fulham in November 2000 saw Peacock suffer serious damage to vertebrae in his neck and
compression of the spine in an accidental
collision with his own 'keeper Michael
Oakes.
He immediately quit the game on medical
advice and relocated to Portugal - only to
make an unexpected return to domestic
football in April 2013 when appointed the
head coach of non-league Lancaster City.
However, Darren's time at Giant Axe failed to
live up to expectations and he relinquished
his post during September 2015.
A BBC web article about players who made it
in football after being released by a club's
academy cited Peacock as a shining example,
but rather inappropriately said of
him:
"Now that's one player with real
backbone."
PS: As part of the NUFC side who
"blew" the title, Peacock is
entitled to his own view:
"People look back at that Newcastle side
and say: 'Great team, crap defence', and
that does tend to get on my nerves.
"We let a 12-point lead go, so perhaps we
didn't deserve any prizes for ruthlessness, but if
you look at the final table you will find we
conceded just two goals more than Manchester
United.
"It was just that there was an imbalance
between the number of defenders in the team and
the number of attackers.
"That's how Kevin wanted to play, it was
great fun, and we came close, but ultimately we
lost out."
1990 Callum
Morris born, Newcastle.
(2006-10)
 Central
defender who came through the academy to made his senior debut in a friendly at Hartlepool
during August 2008.
Sidelined through injury
at the same time as Ben Tozer, fellow reserve
defender Tamas Kadar was promoted to the first team bench during a festive
injury crisis.
Restored to fitness, Callum signed his first
professional contract in March 2009, facing
Shamrock Rovers in pre-season.
That was to be his only senior pitch time and he left the club in 2010, having trials with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and
Gateshead and joining Blyth Spartans.
Signing for Spanish side Jerez Industrial, who were linked with the Glen Hoddle soccer
academy, Morris then returned to the UK following trials with clubs in Portugal
and Greece.
Appearing for both Hayes & Yeading and
Morpeth Town, a full time contract came his
way at Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic in August 2012.
Later moves took him to Dundee United,
Aberdeen (although he never played for them), a
second spell at Dunfermline and then Ross County in 2018.
Released by the Staggies in May 2021, he joined
Morpeth Town a couple of months later, finally retiring in
2023.
Internationally, Callum represented the Republic of Ireland
at U19 and U21 level while at SJP
before switching to Northern Ireland - his
father coming from Belfast.
However, he failed to win a senior cap
despite squad call-ups in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
The last one was particularly unfortunate, given the
green light to face Luxembourg at Windsor Park, only to
suffer a hamstring injury during training the day before.

After a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor, there was nothing
between the sides on an icy St. James' Park pitch, until Jackie
Milburn had his ankles tapped as he strode into the box.
The referee correctly pointed to the spot and Bobby
Mitchell converted the penalty at the Gallowgate End to
send his side through.

Newcastle's sixth meeting with the O's in East London
went the way of the previous five visits, ending in
defeat.
Catching the eye for the home side at Brisbane Road was
18 year-old winger John Chiedozie.
An unimpressed Magpies boss Bill McGarry gave his
verdict: "We have enough ability in our side but we
just seem to be lacking something away from home.
Perhaps we have got to learn to graft that bit harder."

United strung together three successive league
victories for the first time that season, moving to
within eight points of third place.
The Trotters did their bit to aid this midweek home win,
Mike Doyle dismissed following a 12th minute clash with
Imre Varadi.
That came with United already a goal up after Paul Jones
had been a bad bad boy, fouling Varadi for a penalty
John Trewick tucked in.
Ex-Magpie Alan Gowling led the line for Bolton but
offered little and after Chris Waddle hit a post from 24
yards out, on-loan David Mills teed up Kenny Wharton to
drive home his fifth goal of the season.

After the shenanigans at Millmoor in the first meeting,
Newcastle's progress to a Fifth Round tie at Blackburn
Rovers was
confirmed in rather more restrained circumstances.
However, they were fortunate to go in level at half time,
Chris Wilder blazing wide from just 10 yards.
The replacement of injury victim Steve Howey by Brian
Kilcline was pivotal, "Killer" leading by example and
making the challenge that saw John Beresford's cross
reach David Kelly to rattle in the opener.

Top of the table with 57 points, nine ahead of nearest
challengers Manchester United and with a game in hand on
Fergie's mob - what could go wrong??

An awful performance at Craven Cottage saw us

winners.An injury-time route-one goal for
Obafemi
Martins was far too little, too late for a side who had completely lost
their way in the preceding 90 minutes.

Kevin Keegan came within three minutes of a first win since returning to SJP, only to have to settle
for a point after a Robert Huth header beat Shay Given.
Going into this Sunday lunchtime game without a league
goal in over six and a half hours, we finally broke the
deadlock when Emre's free kick from the Strawberry
Corner was headed in by Michael Owen.

2009
Nicky Butt signed the one-year contract extension offered
some weeks earlier.
That committed him to the
club until summer 2010, by which time he'd be 35 and have
spent six seasons at SJP (although one of those saw
him loaned to Birmingham City).
2010 United U18s bludgeoned
their way into an FA Youth Cup Quarter Final spot after beating West Ham 3-0 at Upton Park.
Jeff Henderson, Phil Airey and Brad Inman all found the
net.
2014 United released a statement confirming that Joe
Kinnear had resigned his position as director of f***all.
His exit followed widespread criticism after the
sale of Yohan Cabaye
and failure to make any permanent signings in
the two transfer windows he oversaw.

Andros Townsend debuted but United were outclassed and only goalkeeper Rob
Elliot prevented a greater margin of defeat.
Two late penalties sealed the loss and substitute Jamaal Lascelles was red carded in conceding the second
with seconds to go after he made a hash of clearance.
He could be seen
mouthing the words, "why does no-one give a sh*t" as he left the field.
Precisely.

For only the
second time in 1,095 Premier League fixtures, United shared eight

As they had against Arsenal almost 13 years to the day,
the Magpies came from behind to claim a point and were
close to grabbing all three.
