Newcastle won the league meeting of the two sides at Gallowgate a month later 4-1.

Just 24 hours after a draining 1-1 draw on wearside, an unchanged United returned to action against an Albion side who hadn't played in almost a week.

The winner came when Bobby Templeton's corner kick was headed home by the diminutive Ronald Orr. The victorious home side then headed off to Alnmouth for a training camp.

A top versus bottom encounter ultimately went to form, although a first half strike from United's Jock Rutherford was denied for offside.

Peter McWilliam then thought he'd broken the deadlock from fully 40 yards out, only for his effort to be disallowed for team mate Bill Appleyard charging into visiting goalkeeper Harry Earle.

However the winded custodian was soon picking the ball out of his net when Rutherford centred for Ronald Orr to finish.

The amateur side visited the day after their annual game against Queens Park at Glasgow's Hampden Park - this year won 2-1 by the English visitors.

Victory on Tyneside rounded off a hectic schedule of six games in seven days for the Corinthians, who remained unbeaten.

The Magpies side included several reserve team players included a goalkeeper named Wharrier who had been signed from local side Scotswood three months earlier.

Some reports give Foster only two goals, with Ward scoring the third Corinthians goal.

Team: Wharrier, Crumley, Nicholson, Finlay, Aitken, McLean, Raine, Higgins, Hardinge, Orr, Donachie.

The Magpies also had the luxury of a missed penalty at 3-0, Albert Shepherd's effort saved by Jonty Fosse 'keeper Starbuck. 

Fosse were reduced to ten men early in the second half through injury, and Newcastle slackened off their efforts noticeably, one local reporter observing that "they simply toyed with the ball and the football was not worth description or observation."

Having beaten Everton 1-0 at Gallowgate a week earlier, United trailed by the same margin at the interval after a free kick reached Beare who beat Jimmy Lawrence.

The Liverpool Echo reported that, "there was a coolness and accuracy in front of goal along the Newcastle forwards, contrasting with Everton's unconvincing methods" and that was certainly proven after the break.

First Randall headed home from a corner to level on the hour, before Everton were left a man short when Stevenson limped off with a knee problem.

Almost immediately, Albert Shepherd netted twice before playing in Duncan. 

Rounding off the scoring, Stewart beat William Scott for the fifth time in the game to the delight of the travelling Geordies.

24 hours after a 1-2 loss at Sheffield Wednesday, a struggling United side were well beaten at Goodison Park as the Toffees continued what would be a successful title chase.

The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury reporter was underwhelmed by United:

"Time was when the Newcastle United team could be relied upon to furnish an exhibition of football embellished with many of the finer artistic points of the game that stood out in bold contrast to the more robust and vigorous methods of other exponents, but Saturday's contest at Goodison Park demonstrated the fact that the Newcastle side has fallen from its high estate and is now but a shadow of its former self. 

"The Newcastle side, included several of the once-famous team, but their efforts were crude, listless, and unmethodical, so that the game never rose above mediocrity."

A hectic sequence of five games in just nine days ended in defeat, United going ahead but then struggling on an energy-sapping heavy Anfield pitch.

That effort was acknowledged by Colin Veitch in his Sunday Sun match report:

"Newcastle lost, but had some honour in their defeat. There is a limit to physical endurance."

However, the replacement 'keeper was soon beaten when a Clinton Morrison cross was headed in by Lee Bradbury.

The second tier Eagles reached half time still ahead, but Gary Speed wasn't to be denied soon after the restart with a neat volley.

Alan Shearer then maintained his hopes of a second successive FA Cup Final appearance when he chested down Warren Barton's cross before slamming the ball past Kevin Miller.

In a frantic finale Clark, appearing in place of the injured Scott Parker, was on hand to shoot home when 'keeper Mark Schwarzer punched a corner to him - even Shay Given upfield for the final attack of the game.

United succumbed to two sucker punches and an inability to score points by landing accurate blows or knockout punches - but there was no split decision and there were no dodgy judges at ringside to blame (just crap linesmen, again). 

One point in 12 over Christmas, three defeats in succession and two wins in twelve games were pushing Big Sam towards a big fall.

2009 Day Three of the "Shay Stays" saga and some more meaningless guff from JFK:

"I'm not sure of the facts of what was said, or how it was interpreted, but what I would say is that Shay Given is contracted to this club until 2011.

"He is our player and he will stay our player. I'm not interested at all (in letting him go). I want to clear that up.

"He is integral to our team, and the best goalkeeper in the league. As far as I am concerned he will stay our player."

Given became a Manchester City player within a month.

Ring out the old, ring in the new....with the same failings in defence for United.

Having conceded eleven goals in two games, Papiss Cisse netted as news spread of Demba Ba's imminent move to Chelsea.

The Toffees were aided by some dubious decisions from referee Martin Atkinson; a soft free-kick award prompting the equaliser and Shola Ameobi denied a penalty.

But there were no excuses for the way that the Magpies were carved open on the hour as newly-arrived substitute, Victor Anichebe, tucked in what proved to be the winner.
