Premier
League:
Nick of Tyne!
Newcastle 1 Wolves 0
Nick Woltemade was the toast of the Toon after scoring the only goal of the game to
defeat Wolves at St. James' Park on Saturday afternoon.
The German debutant majestically headed into the Leazes net just
before the half hour mark to give Eddie Howe's side their first win
of the season against the Premier League's basement side.
The visitors looked ragged although they had three chances to take
the lead early in the opening period, the first coming seconds after the
kick-off when Rodrigo Gomes ran into the box and Nick Pope tipped
his shot wide.
Pope then denied Hee-Chan Hwang before Jacob Murphy had United's
first effort with a shot that flew past the left post.
Gomes went close with a header that squirmed past Pope's right
upright before Murphy somehow failed to hit the back of the net from
close range with the goal gaping.
Harvey Barnes went tumbling under a dubious challenge from Yerson
Mosquera as he entered the box but a VAR review failed to see it as
a red card or a penalty.
Then came Woltemade's moment; Murphy crossing to the far post and
the debutant outjumping Emmanuel Agbadou planting a firm header inside the upright before
taking the plaudits by the Milburn and Leazes corner flag.
It capped an excellent first performance from the tall forward who
showed some good touches and awareness and instantly gelled with his
new team mates.
Sandro Tonali was unlucky not to make it 2-0 just before half-time
with a shot from the edge of the box that hit the inside of the post
and bounced away.
That came shortly after Murphy had a goal disallowed for Barnes
being offside in the build-up; Murphy also coming desperately close
with a curling shot shortly before that.
After the break United dominated possession without creating many
clear chances but as the game wore on and both sides made multiple
substitutions there was a feeling that the visitors could nick an
undeserved equaliser.
Certainly the home side's hopes of a clinching second goal receded
with the withdrawal of cramp victim Woltemade - Will Osula's
contribution enthusiastic but ham-fisted.
Thankfully though, Pope was rarely troubled before
referee Chris Kavanagh blew after six added minutes.
A memorable debut then for Woltemade and a timely three points,
although his goal will live longer in the memory than the match.
The victory lifted the Magpies into the top half of the table, and
they ended the weekend sitting tenth.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Pope, Trippier, Burn, Schar, Livramento, Tonali, Joelinton (Willock

including new CEO David Hopkinson. The lack of a full house looked

 .
Referee:
Chris Kavanagh - the Lancastrian whistler took charge of his first
Newcastle game this season and bottled giving Joao Gomes a red card.
The Brazilian had been booked for persistent fouling and took out
Sandro Tonali for what should have been another blatant yellow.
His most recent appointment before today was for the 4-1
home howking of Manchester United back in April.
VAR: Timothy Wood
Eddie Howe said:
"Massive, massive win for us. The lads performed very well.
Hard-fought, disciplined, we could have scored more - but we'll take
the win however it came.
"They put us under pressure in the first five minutes, but after
that we got control of the game. A great cross from (Jacob) Murphy and great
to see Nick (Woltemade) score.
"It was a great moment for Nick. I was very pleased with how he
played. You saw his qualities, his technical qualities that we’ve
been discussing and his intelligence.
"But most importantly for a striker, when the ball comes into
the box, you need to be there – and he was. It was a great finish.
"I’m really pleased for him personally because that just settles him
down and relaxes him. He wants to do well
and he’s delighted to be here. I think it’s a great start.
"Nick’s very intelligent, very, very humble and a very good
communicator. He understood everything we wanted him to do
tactically. It was great to see him scoring, he took his goal
brilliantly; it was a very strong debut.
"He's an unusual player. He's very distinctive. I think the more you
watch him, the more you realise how different he is to the
stereotypical size that he brings.
"Very creative. We saw flashes of that today, little touches
and passes that can really make a difference and open up a stubborn
defensive line. He’s also very funny; the lads have really taken to
him.
"We needed the win. With Barcelona on the horizon you don't get many
chances in this league, but we're happy with the three points
today.
"I did not see much wrong with the team performance at all. I was
really pleased with the commitment of the players."
On combining Woltemade with the injured Wissa:
"It is something we can do and we will look at. I do not know if we
want to change the tactical framework too much but I will never rule
anything out."
The goalscorer added:
"The Premier League is quite hard, I had to go out because I had
cramps. For the first game I think it is OK to come in (be
substituted).
"It was amazing, the atmosphere, the team played really good
balls, they involved me a lot. I think we did quite good.
"I just try to play my game, like to drop off from the nine and come
to where I can get the balls. The guys are already good today with
me I want to play my game also here.
"Today was a good game for it but there could be games where it is
hard. I want to adapt to this league, it is really hard. I want to
look forward and keep going.
"I was just here for four days now, so everything was new for
me. I was putting that bit away and I was focusing on myself today.
"Everybody was happy, I was happy. The Premier League is hard but I want to adapt
and the coach gave me such a good feeling, I knew what to do.
"It was a great
debut - can't be better. We won, I scored, we did well. It's really
important that we won.
"'Murph' told me be ready for the cross and it came to me
beautifully. I didn't know what to do
[after I scored] - I was just
happy!"
Stats:
Nick Woltemade
became the 273rd different player Newcastle have fielded in
the Premier League.
Bremen-born Woltmade is the sixth German-born player to appear for
United in the PL, after Alan Neilson (Wegburg), Dietmar Hamann (Waldsassen),
Joselu (Stuttgart), Loris Karius (Biberach) and Malick Thiaw (Dusseldorf).
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Stuttgart) never played in the PL.
He's the third full German international to have donned our colours
after Hamman and Thiaw.
Woltemade's goal made him Newcastle's 171st different scorer
in the PL and the fifteenth to have netted on his debut. His
goal came 32 years to the day since the first Magpie did so in the
PL - Alex Mathie against Sheffield Wednesday at the same end of SJP.
Newcastle have now scored at least once in all 21 Premier League
meetings with Wolves.
Three clean sheets in their opening four PL fixtures this
season for the Magpies is something they've managed just twice before
in that competition: 1995/96 and 2011/12.
Eddie Howe saw his side collect three points at SJP without Alexander
Isak for the first time since defeating Fulham in December 2023.
Away from home United's last PL victory without the Swede was at
Forest in February 2024.

Saturday saw Newcastle U18s continue their unbeaten start to the season with
an epic victory on Merseyside that left them third in the table behind both
Manchester clubs.
The hosts who boasted a 100% record in the league went ahead through Finn Inglethorpe's
29th minute effort but United levelled seven minutes later through Matt Taylor.
Alfie Seldon then put the visitors ahead seconds after the restart
before
Kacey Wooster opened up a 3-1 advantage for the Magpies in the 54th
minute - both goals created by winger Mo Waddani.
Joe Bradshaw reduced the deficit to one goal in the 68th minute before
substitute Scofield Lonmeni beat England youth international goalkeeper
George Mair to make it 3-3 with 11 minutes of normal time remaining.
The black and whites weren't finished though and Wooster won it in
the 89th minute, ensuring that his side left Kirkby with maximum points for
the third successive season.
Team: Mair, Bloomer, Durrant, Old, Moran (Yeutembip 67), Taylor (Pattison
90), Waddani, O'Donovan, Hutchison (Gilligan 90), Wooster, Seldon (Pinnington
67).
Sub n/u: Anderson.
Booked: Bloomer
That's a fine start to the week for the U18s, who face reigning U19 UEFA
Youth League champions Barcelona on Thursday before travelling to U18
Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday. City have won four games
out of four so far, scoring 19 goals in the process.

Answering questions about the departed Alexander Isak in
Friday's media call, Eddie Howe admitted in public for the first
time that the player had downed tools, saying that:
"Alex and I always enjoyed a great relationship. I loved
working with him and I hope he loved working with us.
"It was mutually beneficial. We helped him become the player that he
in part is today, and he helped us as a team achieve some
unbelievable milestones. He was part of a very successful team.
"But to give you a bit more on that, the moment he went on
strike, our relationship did change. I think that was probably a
turning point in our relationship.
"Communication became difficult from that point onwards. I won’t go
into any more detail than that.”

Earlier: NUFC confirm that their search for a CEO has ended
with the installation of Toronto-born 54 year-old, David "Hoppy" Hopkinson:
Newcastle United are delighted to announce the appointment of
David Hopkinson as the club's new Chief Executive Officer.
David officially joins the club on Friday, 5th September and
will undertake a comprehensive handover process supported by
outgoing CEO Darren Eales, who steps down from the position for
health reasons.
David brings more than 25 years of senior executive leadership
and commercial expertise across three countries, delivering results
for some of the world's most iconic and valuable sporting
organisations.
David joins Newcastle United after serving as President and
Chief Operating Officer at Madison Square Garden Sports in the
United States, where he led the business operations of the New York
Knicks and New York Rangers.
Both are among the most valuable franchises in the National
Basketball Association and National Hockey League respectively, and
compete at the world-renowned Madison Square Garden in New York
City.
Previously, as Global Head of Partnerships at Real Madrid,
David served on the executive team as they cemented their place as
one of the world's most valuable football clubs.
Earlier, he spent over two decades at Maple Leaf Sports &
Entertainment as Chief Commercial Officer, overseeing commercial
activities for the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA's Toronto
Raptors.
David said: "I am incredibly honoured to join Newcastle United
at such an exciting time in the club's history.
"This club represents something truly special. It has
extraordinary history and heritage, incredibly passionate
supporters, and ownership, players and staff who are committed to
excellence.
"Having worked with iconic teams across different countries, I
understand what it takes to build sustainable success at the highest
levels of global sport.
"I greatly admire what has been achieved by the club so far,
and I am excited and motivated by what is ahead as we strive to
position Newcastle United among the world's elite clubs."
Newcastle United chairman, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, said: "We are
delighted to welcome David to Newcastle United.
"David is an outstanding executive whose track record across
global sport and entertainment speaks for itself.
"His experience and strategic capabilities will be invaluable
as we continue to build on the club's presence locally and grow it
globally on and off the pitch.
"David's leadership will be critical as we build upon what we
have already achieved since the acquisition towards an exciting
future and sustainable success.
"I would like to personally thank Darren Eales for his
exceptional work and leadership, as well as his friendship, over the
last three years."
Director Jamie Reuben added: "David's arrival as CEO comes at
a crucial time for the club and I am confident that he will prove to
be an excellent fit for the role.
"He brings a wealth of experience in leadership positions at
some of the biggest names in world sport, with an incredibly strong
foundation to build upon."

Fixture updates
Here's our take on
future PL changes - all still tbc:
Arsenal (h) remains on Sunday
September 28th as both ourselves and the Gunners play in the CL on
the following Wednesday.
Nottingham Forest (h) was
moved to Sunday October 5th as the Tricky Trees play in the Europa
League on the previous Thursday.
Brighton (a) remains on Saturday
October 18th as we play the Benfica (h) CL game the following
Tuesday.
The November PL TV fixtures are due
for release on or by Wednesday September 17th, with the following
options:
West Ham (a) could be Saturday
November 1st or Sunday November 2nd - the Friday is unlikely as the Carabao Cup Fourth Round is that week. The Monday slot wouldn't work
as the Bilbao (h) CL game is the following Wednesday.
Brentford (a) could be Saturday
November 8th or Sunday November 9th - the Friday wouldn't work due
to the Bilbao (h) CL game the previous Wednesday and there are no
Monday games as the international break commences.
Manchester City (h) has to be on
Saturday November 22nd* as both ourselves and the Citizens play in
the CL on the following Tuesday. *There is a chance of the PL
scheduling this for Friday night but not thought likely.
Looking further ahead into 2026:
Aston Villa (h) has to move from
Saturday January 24th to Sunday January 25th as the Villans play in
the Europa League the previous Thursday. It cannot move to the
Monday as we are in CL action the following Wednesday.

Barrie Thomas RIP
The death of former Magpie Barrie Thomas has been announced, at the
age of 88.
Barrie was a centre forward who worked down the mines before
signing for Leicester City, only for national service to halt his
progress.
Joining Mansfield Town before moving on to Scunthorpe United in
1959, Thomas was top scorer in the Football League with 30 goals in
22 games when fellow Second Division side Newcastle bid a record
£45,000 for him in early 1962.
The Iron opted to cash in and a deal was concluded with John
McGuigan also moving from Gallowgate to the Old Showground - while
both Leeds United and Manchester United made their interest known.
Debuting in a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town at St. James' Park,
Thomas first found the net in his third game - away at Swansea - and
Walter Winterbottom quickly called him up to an England training
session, although he failed to make the 1962 World Cup squad.
However, his time at SJP was blighted by injury and criticism
from some fans and colleagues and while netting hat tricks against
Boro, Plymouth and Rotherham, he failed to fire his side to
promotion.
Losing his place to Ron McGarry, Barrie reluctantly returned to
Scunthorpe early in 1964. His scoring touch remained despite fitness
issues and as Newcastle were celebrating promotion the following
May, he netted five as the Iron beat Luton Town 8-1.
Injury ended his playing career at Barnsley, after which he had a
spell managing local non-league side Measham Swifts.

The new system is 24/24/48: 24
hours for any ST holders to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
purchase.
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.
Tickets unclaimed by successful applicants within 48 hours are then offered
to those unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total.
NUFC contact those applicants directly.

On This Day in History |

14th September |

Born Or Died:
1952
David Embleton born, Newcastle.
(1971-72)
Youngster who failed to make a senior appearance during his time at SJP, played league
football with Bury and Hartlepool as well as appearing for Gateshead.
David later worked for Newcastle Breweries as Director of Sales.
1957 George Reilly born, Bellshill, Scotland. (1985)
Although born in Scotland, George grew up in the Tartan enclave
of Corby, after his family relocated to the Northamptonshire town when his
father got a job at the steelworks.
Beginning his football career at Corby Town, Reilly worked as a bricklayer
before turning professional at Northampton Town and then moving on to Cambridge
United.
1983 saw him sign for Watford, appearing in the FA Cup Final at the end of his
first season as a Hornet - although his side lost 2-0 at Wembley against
Everton.
Newcastle had first expressed an interest in Reilly early in the 1984/85
season, but were unable to agree a fee and instead signed Tony Cunningham from
Manchester City to boost their attacking options.
No sooner had that deal been done though that Watford opted to accept United's
offer and Reilly also signed - both strikers being paired for the first time in
a 1-0 home win over Luton Town in March 1985.
Reilly's first goal followed in the next game, with Cunningham also scoring in
a 3-1 home win over Watford. However the pairing wasn't a success and the route
one football that it encouraged saw Chris Waddle quit the club and Peter
Beardsley seek pastures new.
(Beardo later wrote that: "I certainly didn't enjoy the way we played,
neither did Waddle and I am quite certain the fans didn't like it much
either.")
The highpoint of Reilly's time in Toon was probably scoring the only goal
of the game to beat Liverpool at SJP in August 1985, but within four months he
had departed - sold on to West Bromwich Albion following the signing of Billy
Whitehurst from Hull City.
Reilly remained at the Hawthorns until 1988 before returning to former club
Cambridge United and winding down his career at Barnet and returning to his
bricklaying trade.
His 'Rambo' nickname was ironic and stemmed from his donning a black bandana in
the style of Sylvester Stallone's fictional hero - although some of George's
play was more reminiscent of Sly's approximation of association football in "Escape
to Victory"...
Perhaps his other nickname was more fitting - Mavis, in honour of the
Coronation Street character Mavis Riley....
Those 1984 FA Cup exploits were to have a belated effect on
Reilly, when he had part of his ear bitten off while working on a Corby
building site in 2003.
The culprit proved to be a Plymouth Argyle fan, seeking revenge for
Reilly's goal against the Pilgrims in the FA Cup Semi Final.
Reilly commented at the time of the attack:
"I can't believe someone held a grudge for that long. I know people
have strong loyalties but this is taking it a bit far."
George then admitted to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in 2019 - an
apparent legacy of his playing career.
1995 Stuart Findlay born, Rutherglen, Scotland. (2016-18)
Central defender who arrived
on Tyneside following his release by Celtic to boost United's development
squad.
Scottish U21 international Findlay made a senior bow for Celtic in a friendly
against Norwich City during 2012 but never played competitively for the
Parkhead club.
Loaned out to Greenock Morton in 2014, he spent the following season at
Dumbarton and the 2015/16 campaign with Kilmarnock as they avoided relegation
under the guidance of former Magpie Lee Clark.
Stuart's first Magpie outing came against a team clad in green and white hoops
- facing Bradford Park Avenue in a pre-season U21 kickabout during July 2016.
And his competitive debut was in a 3-0 away reserve win at Norwich City a month
later.
Findlay was one of three senior debutants (along with Yasin Ben El-Mhanni and Dan Barlaser) in a 3-1
FA Cup home win over Birmingham City in January 2017.
Moving on a season-long loan to Kilmarnock the following August, he made 36
league and cup appearances and scored three goals.
Stuart was one of a large number of United development squad players released
during June 2018, and the free agent promptly signed a permanent three year deal at
Killie.
Playing for ex-Newcastle coach Steve Clarke at Rugby Park, his installation as
Scotland boss in 2019 resulted in a first senior international call-up for
Findlay.
A first full cap then arrived that October, playing the entirety of a 6-0
win over San Marino and scoring Scotland's fifth goal.
Findlay left Kilmarnock in February 2021, moving on to play for
MLS side Philadelphia Union. By July 2022 though he was back in the UK,
joining Oxford United.
Loaned to Kilmarnock by Oxford for the
2023/24 season, that temporary switch was renewed for the 2024/25
season.
His next move was to Hearts in June 2025 for a season long loan, with a view
to making the switch permanent at the end of the season.

The first part of a
two-legged unofficial "Battle of Britain" was
decisively won by the home side, with the visitors
"humiliated" in the view of one local scribe.
However the English Cup holders would score five times
without reply against their Scottish counterparts a week
later in the return match at Gallowgate.
Both trophies were displayed on the Ibrox pitch before
kick-off in this first leg.

A week after a
2-5 reverse at The Hawthorns, United gained swift
revenge in the return at SJP.
Visiting goalkeeper Jimmy Adams saved Tom Mooney's
penalty with the score at 1-1.
The meeting of the two reserve teams in the Midlands the
same day was also goal-laded, Albion running out 5-4
winners.
Centre forward William Scott hit the target on his debut
following a transfer from Aberdeen, while Alf Garnham
scored a penalty and William Isaac also netted. An OG by
Bassett completed the scoring.

Having hit the woodwork
four times in the first half, United buckled after the
break and Alf McMichael headed into his own goal.
Former Magpie Roy Bentley then scored in front of a small
Stamford Bridge crowd that gathered on a Wednesday
afternoon before Frank Blunstone made it 0-3.
The venue for the game between the First Division
champions and FA Cup holders had been decided upon the
toss of a coin.
TV cameras were present to capture footage for broadcast
that same night, but rather fortuitously (for them) only
recorded the second half.

UEFA Cup 1st Round 1st Leg
25,000
United ended a near-seven year absence from Europe at Dalymount Park - although there was as much
action off the field as on it.
Ralph Callachan debuted on a night when the referee
took the teams off just before halftime after as Magpies
'keeper Mick Mahoney was felled by a brick thrown from
home fans housed in the Tram Shed End.
1981 United were forced to pull out of a deal to
buy defender Tommy Booth from Manchester City through
lack of funds.

Lanky striker George Reilly celebrated his 28th
birthday in fine style with a brace against the Baggies
- having had two stitches in a head wound at half time.
And also celebrating was Magpies boss Willie McFaul, who
had "Caretaker" tag removed from his job title
days earlier.
1988 Within weeks
of joining Tottenham, Paul Gascoigne made his senior
England debut as he replaced Peter Beardsley late on in a 1-0 victory over Denmark.
Future Magpie Bjorn Kristensen played for the visitors in
this Wembley friendly.

Hopes of a first home win of the season at the third
attempt looked bleak when Tim Steele opened the scoring
for Wolves visitors and Steve Bull netted yet again at
his favourite away ground.
An own goal by Lawrie Madden didn't give the home support
much encouragement, and attempts at an equaliser failed.

A fourth successive victory for The Magpies and a
third goal for Alan Shearer, who swept his penalty past
Tim Flowers after a Colin Hendry handball.
Les Ferdinand then made it five goals in just four games
when he headed home a David Ginola corner, before Chris
Sutton beat Pavel Srnicek from distance to set up a
slightly nervy final few minutes.

However, that victory was eclipsed by a 7-2 success for
the U19s at Manchester United. Calvin Zola, Andy Ferrell
and Richard Offiong bagged two apiece and Tommy English
one.

New boy Antoine Sibierkski marked his
United debut by scoring the only goal of the game at the
A Le Coq Arena in Tallinn.
His strike partner Obafemi Martins wasn't so fortunate
however and failed to open his scoring account for the
club.
The lack of squad depth was highlighted when an injury to
Titus Bramble forced Glenn Roeder to switch Peter Ramage
to central defence and Damien Duff to left back -
something that he'd be forced to do later on during his
time on Tyneside.

2009 Media speculation that Manchester United
defender Craig Cathcart would move to SJP on loan
ended with confirmation that he'd joined... Watford.
The Northern Ireland U21 international was close to
joining the Magpies permanently in a deadline day
transfer, only for the move to collapse - apparently on
medical grounds.

United recorded back to back wins for the first time since
February as Hatem Ben Arfa netted in successive games.
And although he didn't score, the addition of Loic Remy looked to have a positive effect on his fellow
countrymen, with revitalised displays from Moussa
Sissoko, Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy.

Newcastle's final visit to the Boleyn
Ground was an unhappy one, with the team coach stuck in
traffic meaning there was minimal warm-up time for the visitors.
A poor showing from Steve McClaren's side
in the Monday night TV game left them bottom of the Premier League table.

Another
comprehensive defeat at Anfield for the Magpies came after taking a
surprise lead from a wonder-strike by Jetro Willems.
The wing-back hit a magnificent opener to cap a lively start from United
against the unbeaten future Champions who made it 43 PL games since last
losing at home.
