U21s:
Young Parisians prosper

Newcastle U21s  0  PSG U21s  2

Following a 0-0 home draw with Real Sociedad on Tuesday night, United's second U21 Premier League International Cup tie brought PSG to Whitley Park on Friday night.

Clad in their blue and orange change kit, the Magpies reached half time two goals behind and one man down - Scott Bailey shown a straight red in the 43rd minute.

PSG's 27th minute opener came when Khalil Ayari netted with a rising shot from a narrow angle to the right of the goal, but United failed to heed the warning and conceded again just three minutes later.

This time Mohamed-Amine El Idrissi ghosted through the home defence and wrong-footed Max Thompson before steering a low shot home.

Bailey then looked to be harshly censured for a high challenge, catching Diyinu Nzinga on the back of the leg with his studs in the centre of the field.

Ironically the visiting player didn't make a meal of that challenge, in stark contrast to some of his colleagues who continually threw themselves to the ground under the most minimal of contact.

Referee Zac Kennard-Kettle finally tired of this French farce, booking Ilyes Housni for a theatrical tumble in the box.

Despite being a man down in the second period the hosts put up a decent fight, creating chances to reduce the deficit but failing to test PSG custodian Arthur Vignaud.

Miodrag Pivas looped a header following a free-kick narrowly wide before fellow defender Charlie McArthur similarly put a headed effort off-target from Leo Shahar's corner kick.

Team: M.Thompson, C.Thompson (Shahar 70), McArthur, Heffernan, Pivas (Bryant 83), Bailey, Parkinson, Munda, Brayson (Alabi 46), Al.Harrison, Seung-soo (Wooster 78).
Subs n/u:
Taylor, Charlton, Palmer.

Sent-off: Bailey 43.

The absence of Sean Neave from the squad led to speculation of a senior team call-up.

PSG: Vignaud, Coulibaly, El Idrissi (Mhand 76), Lucea, Lavenette, Diyinu Nzinga, Doue (Cordier 83), El Nay (Housni 65), Ayari, Nsoki, Jangeal (Bastaraud 76).
Sub n/u: Francillonne.
Booked:
Jangeal, Housni.

Crowd: 183 including Yohan Cabaye, present in his role as part of the PSG backroom staff.

Referee: Zac Kennard-Kettle

Manchester City (h)


Newcastle return to action following the international break when Pep Guardiola brings his Citizens to SJP on Saturday.

It's a 5.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.

United are bidding for a sixth successive home win in all competitions, during which they have conceded once. Eddie Howe has overseen six home wins in a row just once since arriving at Gallowgate, between February and April 2022.

However the Magpies have managed just a solitary victory against the Citizens in their last 35 league encounters.

Hat sellers Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House pub from 2.30pm. Card payments accepted.

Team: Dan Burn is suspended following his red card at Brentford, William Osula remains out and there's still no return date for Yoane Wissa.

Speaking on Friday, Eddie Howe said that Anthony Gordon was "touch and go", Tino Livramento has rejoined the squad following injury and Nick Pope is available after observing concussion protocols.

Sandro Tonali and Joelinton are both available.

Coral rate this game as follows:

NUFC win 12/5
The draw 14/5
MCFC win 1/1

U18s:
Reds Cup test next

Following a trio of league victories, Newcastle's U18 side conclude their Premier League Cup group stage fixtures against Liverpool at Little Benton on Saturday (11am).

Chris Moore's side began their Group B participation with a 3-2 home win over Leicester City before going down 1-7 at Aston Villa.

The Reds are pointless after their opening two ties: a 1-2 home loss to Villa followed by a 0-1 defeat at Leicester.

The two sides have already met this season at league level; United winning by the odd goal in seven on Merseyside.

Expansion of the Premier League Cup from seven to eight groups means that only group winners now advance to the quarter finals and the best runner-up spot disappears.

Given that leaders Villa and second-placed Leicester face each other in their final game, Newcastle are unable to progress regardless of results.

PS: The U18s were handed a home tie against Portsmouth in the Third Round of this season's FA Youth Cup,

Date, time and venue confirmation is awaited, with ties to be played on or before Saturday December 13th.

Following our note on Wednesday about digital tickets for the Everton away game, Thursday brought reports of fresh problems from some fans who downloaded theirs to their wallets - only to find that they changed overnight.

Update:
Russell Cushing RIP



Former Newcastle United official Russell Cushing has died unexpectedly following a short illness. He was 78.


Norwich-born, Russell joined the Magpies in 1971 from the Canaries, initially as Assistant Secretary before succeeding Malcolm Hoole as Club Secretary two years later.

Cushing acted as United's General
Manager for many years, overseeing player contracts and transfers ranging from Malcolm Macdonald's departure to Arsenal through to the later arrivals of Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.

Other commitments included fixture arrangement, attending disciplinary tribunals, involvement in commercial activities and ticket sales - tasks later covered by an ever-increasing head count, but all passing across his desk at the time.

That range of activities saw Russell act as a spokesman for United on subjects ranging from wrangles over the ground lease with the City Council to reconstruction in the wake of the Taylor Report. Any incidents of hooliganism were also routinely following by statements penned by him in the following match programme.

Appointed to the board in late 1989 ahead of Sir John Hall's arrival at Gallowgate the following year, he served as Chief Operating Officer from June 2001.

Russell ended an association with the Magpies spanning almost 36 years during 2007, in the months following the completion of Mike Ashley's takeover.

Champions League:
Marseille (a)

Game number five for Eddie Howe's side in this season's Champions League first phase campaign takes them to Southern France on Tuesday.
 
It's an 8pm GMT kick-off - 9pm local time in France.

Newcastle were allocated 3,000 tickets.

Updated fan information is online here

Away tickets are in digital format but all fans are required to assemble at a designated meeting point at 4.30pm French time to be put onto Metros for the stadium - four and a half hours before kick-off, at 9pm French time.

That meeting point is Place de la Joliette (pictured), a square situated to the north of the old port area.

NUFC stress that any fans who fail to comply with that mandatory advice and attempt to travel to the stadium independently will be denied access (except for disabled fans, who have separate arrangements).

NB: stadium regulations state that small power packs for mobiles can be taken in - something that's worth noting, given that digital ticketing will be in use.

The post-match plan is the same in reverse, with fans returned to the Place de la Joliette by metro following a hold-back of unspecified duration.

Agreement with these measures looks to have been a condition of receiving an away allocation, Atalanta fans treated similarly in OM's last home CL tie. Ajax meanwhile didn't receive any tickets after the French authorities imposed a blanket travel ban on their supporters.

Team: To follow

Coral rate this tie as follows:

NUFC win 11/8
The draw 5/2
OM win 15/8

New customers receive a £20 bet when staking £5 on sports (T's & C's apply). Find those markets online here 

OM:
Five players are expected to be out: Nayef Aguerd, Amir Murillo, Facundo Medina, Hamed Traore and Amine Gouiri.

Former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi's side have won just one of their four Champions League games to date, scoring four goals without reply at home to Ajax.

Suffering 2-1 defeats at Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon, Marseille lost 0-1 at home to Atalanta last time out.

Marseille returned to action following the international break with a 5-1 win at Nice in Ligue 1 on Friday - a result that took them above PSG at the top of the table.

57,000 fans were present that night to see Didier Drogba score twice - the reconstructed Velodrome now has a capacity of over 67,000.

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


Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.

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 on and complete your purchase regardless. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at 30.

On This Day in History
22nd November


Born Or Died:

1983 Peter Ramage born, Ashington.
(2005-08)

As a youngster, Peter was a centre forward and his initial trial at United as a teenager came after scoring for Berwick Rangers.

However, he was persuaded to play at centre half and impressed sufficiently to be given a place at Newcastle's Academy. 

Rammy made his first team debut as a sub in the club's 100th European tie, a 4-0 home win over Olympiakos in March 2005. 

He then started his first Premier League fixture later that season at full back, in the intimidating setting of Old Trafford.

Appearing during the reigns of messrs Souness, Roeder and Allardyce, Peter was stretchered off while playing under the latter at the smoggies in August 2007.

Offered a contract extension by Kevin Keegan, Peter opted to leave SJP on a Bosman free in search of first team football - the last of his 69 appearances coming at Everton in May 2008.

That season closer saw him replace Steven Taylor for the final seconds of the game, before throwing his shirt to the away fans and departing amid a great ovation. 

Rammy joined QPR and scored the first senior goal of his career in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool at Loftus Road in August 2009.

The following month saw him return to his former home ground when the R's visited in the Championship, but he remained on the bench as an unused substitute.

He did make it on to the field against us in the final game of that season, but was red -carded in the fixture at Loftus Road.

And Peter's woes continued in the following campaign when he was sidelined with a serious knee injury in September 2010.

A loan deal in August 2011 saw him join Championship side Crystal Palace, where he played in the same Eagles side as former Magpie colleague, Darren Ambrose.

Ramage returned to Loftus Road only to be loaned out again, this time to Birmingham City until the end of the season but was soon back at Selhurst Park. 

Signing a one-year deal for Palace in August 2012, he helped the Eagles gain promotion back to the Premier League, scoring four times in the Championship

Loaned to Barnsley for the 2013/14 season Peter returned to Oakwell on a three month loan during October 2014 - and promptly netted on his second Tykes debut.

Returning from Barnsley in April 2015, he was released by Palace soon after and joined Indian Premier League side Kerala Blasters during August 2015.

Once that posting came to an end, January 2016 found Rammy back in England and on trial at League One Coventry City.

Despite winning a contract though, he made only a handful of appearances before being released that summer.

The final club of Peter's playing career would be Arizona United in the USA (re-titled as Phoenix Rising while he was with them.)

Making 36 appearances and captaining the side, he returned to Tyneside in 2017 and coaching at Newcastle's Academy.

August 2018 saw Rammy heading back stateside, becoming Assistant Coach at Phoenix but he was back home in July 2020, initially with Newcastle U23s before taking a role with the Magpies U18s.

Peter then became assistant loans manager at SJP alongside Shola Ameobi.

With United 1-0 up, referee JT Howcroft was struck on the back of the head by the ball and "went down backwards like a gun shot stricken man" according to one report.

Unable to continue, Howcroft's place was taken by a linesman - the referee recovering sufficiently to return for the second half.

Having retrieved the ball from his net on seven occasions at home to Portsmouth a week earlier, things were little improved for custodian Albert McInroy at Roker Park.

1930 At Gallowgate meanwhile, United scored eight goals without reply in a North Eastern League game against Blyth Spartans.

All but one of the Magpies XI had senior team experience, with Ron Starling and Jackie Cape hitting first half braces and Tom McDonald adding another one.

Jimmy Richardson then helped himself to a second half treble.

A debut for John Mitten, son of manager Charlie Mitten. Rather cruelly he was given the job of penalty taker on his debut and missed one. It was the sixth spot-kick miss of the season.

McNeil(23)
15,941 
The Welsh side secured their first away victory over United - although they had won at SJP when defeating Blyth Spartans two years earlier.

Dixie McNeil scored the winning goal but the other Wrexham hero was 'keeper Dai Davies, who saved Alan Shoulder's penalty. 

One disgruntled home fan staged a centre spot sit-in and was led away to a chorus of boos.

Durie(27)

Newcastle's first away win since the previous March marked the start of a purple patch for midfielder Andy Thomas, who found the net six times in just three games. 

A magical afternoon at Stamford Bridge was followed for one of us by a celebratory open top bus ride down Oxford Street to serenade startled seasonal shoppers with the "Blaydon Races". Drink had most definitely been taken.

Our record of eight defeats in a row at Stamford Bridge was mercifully ended, as JFK took his side there to grind out a point and duly did so.

But as we commented, "this is a tale of reduced circumstances, as we glorify in a 0-0 draw, having never crossed the halfway line in anger." Ticket price? £48.

2010 Defender Mike Williamson was charged with violent conduct following an incident involving Bolton's Johan Elmander in the 1-5 thumping at the Reebok.

This came just days after a similar process was used to retrospectively punish fellow Magpie Joey Barton for an indiscretion during the home game against Blackburn Rovers.

The FA also confirmed that the red card shown to Fabricio Coloccini at the Reebok would earn him a three match suspension.


2011
Having lost their unbeaten league record for the season with a 0-3 loss to the mackems, Newcastle's second string conceded four goals without reply to Everton - Apostolos Vellios responsible for three of them.

The game was played behind closed doors at Darsley Park, sparing regular reserve watchers the pain of a thoroughly rotten display.

Despite failing to record the hoped-for victory, Newcastle made it through to the Last 32 of the Europa League.

Sylvain Marveaux scored his first senior goal for the club but a late leveller from substitute Fidelis knocked United off the top of the group - the same player almost winning it late on.

2013
Having provided the opposition for the last game at their old ground six months earlier, a Magpies XI returned to Consett to christen the Steelmen's new Belle View home.

Peter Beardsley turned out and Adam Campbell and Jamie Cobain scored for United in a 2-1 win on the artificial pitch.
