A foggy day and a frozen pitch greeted the noted amateur side at Gallowgate, with two trialists included in the Magpies XI.

Goalkeeper Donald Urquhart and centre forward Alec Fraser had both arrived from Inverness Thistle hours earlier.  

Fraser netted twice and remained at United until 1904 without making a competitive first team debut for the club.

Also in the home ranks was Gerald Veitch, elder brother of Magpies legend Colin. This would be his only senior outing for the club.

The visitors had ex-mackem goalkeeper Tom Rowlandson in their side. By 1905 he'd be a Newcastle player. 

Team: Urquhart, Crumley, Agnew, Innerd, Birnie, G.Veitch, Thompson, Orr, Fraser, Graham, Roberts.

Ryan Giggs won a dubious first half penalty that David  Beckham whacked past Steve Harper, but Bobby Robson brought on three late subs to try and salvage a point for his Shearerless Magpies side.

For once it worked, Daniel Cordone breaking down the right before setting up Lomana LuaLua to try his luck. And although his shot was sliced, it fell perfectly for Stephen Glass to beat the helpless Fabien Barthez.

Four days after defeat at The Reebok Stadium, United suffered more M62 travel sickness, on a day when simply nothing went right.

Behind to a goal which exposed Shay Given's immobility due to a groin problem, we were further weakened before half time when Peter Ramage limped off with a hamstring pull. Nicky Butt covering at centre half.

Obafemi Martins then ballooned his penalty high over the crossbar before half time - some pushing and shoving after the spot kick award subsequently blamed on a racial slur directed by Emre at a home player. 

The Newcastle midfielder avoided punishment when the incident appeared in referee Dermot Gallacher's report, but Everton players gave differing accounts of the alleged insults to a subsequent FA investigation.

2009 Joey Barton addressed the nation via Radio 4's "Today" programme, ridiculing many of his contemporaries:

"Most footballers are knobs. I meet a lot of them and they are so detached from real life it's untrue and there was a stage when I was like that.

"It's only the fact I'm grounded by the trouble I've been in that's forced me away from being in the football world."

If only that was the last time he'd spoken.

United's Anfield goal drought ended thanks to an own goal but within five minutes, old boy Craig Bellamy levelled.

The Magpies old boy then went on to net again after the interval before tangling with Fabricio Coloccini and being forced off with a gaping wound over his left eye.

Steven Gerrard then pounced to ensure another wretched trip to the red half of Merseyside.

2012 Strong rumours of imminent player moves had Demba Ba off to Chelsea while Mathieu Debuchy's protracted move from Lille seemed likely to happen. Both occurred in the January transfer window.

2013 The Reserves beat Leicester City 2-1 at Whitley Park to advance to the Quarter Finals of the U21 Premier League Cup. Adam Armstrong bagged a brace.

2014 Having walked across from the nearby Academy to avoid the media, soon to be ex-manager Alan Pardew returned to the training ground to say his farewells.

Pardew appeared on the touchline during a behind closed doors kickabout against Gateshead that ended 1-1.

Adam Campbell netted for a United side including Davide Santon, Curtis Good and Jonas Gutierrez. The defensive duo were returning from long-term injury, while Jonas played a second U21 game in a week after treatment for testicular cancer.

United rounded off the year by returning to the top of the Championship after dishing out some justice at SJP.

And the justice was poetic in that Forest had a player sent off minutes before Dwight Gayle made it 2-1 and then bundled in a third ten minutes from time, avenging the defeat at the City Ground earlier in the month when two Magpies were wrongly dismissed.

Two promoted sides settled for a point apiece, after a tepid encounter barely worthy of last spot on Match of The Day. 

United's first home point since October ended a five game losing run at SJP, but brought little comfort - and even less joy as other damaging full time results appeared.

United ended the year with an unexpected but deserved point against the leaders.

Martin Dubravka made the bench for the first time that season after recovering from injury but Karl Darlow was in sparkling form.

And when Darlow was found wanting, his defence were on hand to clear the danger - most notably Fabian Schar, whose hooked goal line clearance prompted memories of similar interventions by Alan Neilson and Barry Venison during the Entertainers era.

An embarrassingly poor host were lucky to escape with just a two-goal loss, although wasting some good chances to make it a nervy second half for Eddie Howe's side.
