The
Magpies are back in Championship action on Tuesday, when they make the trip
to Pride Park for a meeting with the Rams, just a matter of weeks after
Nigel Clough's side drew 0-0 on Tyneside in our last game of 2009.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm and tickets for the away section will be on sale
from the Pride Park Box Office on Tuesday, priced at £33 adults, £20 OAPs, £15
bairns.
After the top three sides all won at the weekend, United sit three points
ahead of West Brom and four ahead of Nottingham Forest, with a game in hand
on both rivals. The gap to fourth-placed Cardiff is now 14 points.

currently offering a discount of up to 30% when you book a Newcastle to
Amsterdam Mini Cruise at least 60 days in advance.

NUFC: United will be without Steven Taylor, Jose Enrique and
long-term absentee Joey Barton. Alan Smith should be available again after
missing the win over Cardiff with a thigh problem, but Fabricio Coloccini
remains a doubt with a hamstring strain.
Danny Simpson also limped
through the final stages of his comeback game against the Bluebirds, which
is a concern. Nicky Butt is claimed to have a thigh injury.
Despite confirmation of his assault charge, striker Andy Carroll retains his
place in the Newcastle squad.

Leon Best has already scored at Pride Park this season for Coventry but
finished on the losing side, as City lost 2-1.
He's rated @ 5/1 to be the first scorer in the game and @ 100/1
to score the first goal in a 2-1 home win.
DCFC: The Rams had to settle for a point at Sheffield United
on Saturday, after conceding a late equaliser. A rare goal from Robbie
Savage had given Derby the lead.
Midfielder Michael Tonge made his debut for Nigel Clough's side at Bramall
Lane on loan from Stoke City. He was previously borrowed by Preston and
faced Newcastle at Deepdale last November.
Meanwhile, fellow new boy Javan Vidal was among the unused subs after the
defender arrived from Manchester City on loan.
Derby may hand a debut to Millwall left winger David Martin, who has now
arrived on loan at Pride Park after failing to complete a permanent deal
before the transfer window closed last week.
Defender Dean Leacock (knee) and midfielders Lee Croft and Lee Hendrie (both
hamstring) are doubtful while striker DJ Campbell has moved on to Blackpool.
Just one home Championship fixture this season has ended in a draw for
Derby, who have won six and lost seven at Pride Park.
Referee: Anthony Taylor (Manchester). Second outing of the season for
this whistler in a Newcastle game, after the early season 3-0 victory over
Reading at SJP.

Saturday's scheduled wear-Tyne derby at U18 level
was
rescheduled and goes ahead on Tuesday February 9th with a 1pm kickoff
at the mackem academy of plight.
The red and whites are top of Academy League Group D and stand 13 points ahead
of fourth-placed Newcastle. Unbeaten at home, the mackems ran out 4-1 winners
on Tyneside in the last meeting of the sides, in December.
Court appearance confirmed:
Carroll charged
From the BBC on Monday:
Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has been charged with assault
following a fight at a nightclub.
A man suffered minor head injuries during the incident at Blu Bambu in
Newcastle's Bigg Market area on 7 December.
He was taken to hospital for treatment and later discharged.
Mr Carroll, 21, of Prestwick, Northumberland, will appear at Newcastle
Magistrates' Court on 25 February.

Carr
completes
marathon journey
It's taken almost half
a century but Graham Carr is finally on the books at Newcastle United,
after his appointment as the club's chief scout.
Graham was briefly with the Magpies as a youngster when Charlie Mitten was
manager, but left his native North East in 1961 in order to become a
professional footballer, joining Northampton Town.
Now 65 and still based in the Northampton area, Carr had a long career as both
player and manager, before scouting for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur,
Manchester City and latterly, Notts County.
Graham is better known to many as the father of TV and radio presenter/comic
Alan.

Alan Carr - not on
United's wanted list |
Youngster
arrives:
B68
- NE1
 Following
a successful trial in December 2009 during which he appeared in a reserve
friendly against Hibernian, it's reported that United have how completed the
signing of attacking midfielder/striker Jóan Símun Edmundsson.
The 18 year-old is a native of the Faroe Islands and joins from the B68 club,
having previously been on trial at Manchester City.
Capped at U19 and U21 level for the Faroe Islands, his senior international
debut came against France in a World Cup Qualifier back in August 2009.
Faroese TV report that Edmundsson moves to Tyneside for the rest of the
current season initially, with an option for a longer deal.
The Sunday Sun obtained some quotes from Faroe Islands boss Brian Kerr, who
said:
“I don’t think he’s going to be in
Newcastle’s first team this season, but I’d expect him to make a very good
impression and maybe look to break into the side next year.
“He’s a biggish lad who
has good ability. He can beat a man – he has a trick – and he knows how to
score goals.
“He’s scored in three
Under-21 international matches in the last year, including against Russia, when
Colin Calderwood was there to watch him.
“He was playing out wide
in a 4-3-3 formation then, but I think he’s better playing through the
middle, which is where I picked him for his full international debut against
France.
“I spoke to Chris Hughton
about him and we had Edmundsson and another lad – Christian Mouritsen – go
on trial at Newcastle before Christmas.
“Chris liked them both,
but felt that Christian, at 21, needed first-team football which Newcastle
couldn’t offer him.
“But Edmundsson has a
chance. As well as his ability, he’s incredibly enthusiastic, honest and
willing to learn, as the players in the Faroes and across Scandinavia tend to
be.
“He won’t be interested
in the bright lights. He’ll be there to learn. And though he’s quite shy,
he looks the part when he gets out on the pitch.
“Because it’s so
isolated, people don’t tend to go and see the players in the Faroes, but
there is real talent there, particularly among the young players. They are
honest, determined, speak excellent English and are absolutely obsessed with
football.”
Thanks to NUFC.com readers Ken Hentze and Tim Readman for their
tipoffs.
Reserves:
Afternoon
appointment
at the Bank
After freezing
temperatures caused their game against Scunthorpe last week to be abandoned,
Newcastle reserves head back to Lincolnshire again this week.
Alan Thompson's side face Lincoln City on Wednesday at Sincil Bank,
with kickoff confirmed as 2pm.
An 89th minute own goal allowed Newcastle to take a point from the Imps when
the two sides met at SJP back in September.
It's yet to be confirmed whether midfielder Joey Barton will be cleared to
make his comeback in this game, having now returned to training after
recovering from a foot injury.
FA Vase:
Bay
live to fight again
Current FA Vase holders Whitley
Bay endured a difficult Saturday afternoon in Surrey, but managed to
keep Chertsey Town at bay and earn a replay.
After early goals from both sides in this Fifth Round tie, Whitley were
reduced to ten men and held out for the remainder of the 90 minutes and 30
minutes of extra time.
The two sides will now meet again at Hillheads this coming Saturday (13th)
in the replay, kickoff @ 3pm.
FA Vase Fifth Round:
St Ives Town 1-3 Shildon
New Mills 0-2 Norton & Stockton Ancients

United
PS: elsewhere in non-league circles, Northern League leaders
Spennymoor won a tough encounter at South Shields 3-1.
Blyth Spartans meanwhile went down 2-3 at Southport, ending their
recent resurgence. Former Magpie Paul Brayson was on the scoresheet once
again.
Gateshead however won on their travels, with Brian Wake scoring both
goals in a 2-0 victory at Mansfield Town. The Stags' offer of
pay-what-you-like admission prices attracted over 7,000 fans to Field Mill.
Situation
vacant:
Great
Expectations
 Speaking
about the non -allocation of the number 9 squad number at SJP before the
Cardiff City game, Chris
Hughton said:
"It's one of the most iconic shirts
around and it’s something I’ve done deliberately. We have a lot of
strikers here and I’m quite sure that every single one of them would have
wanted to wear the No 9 shirt. As soon as I came to this club I knew what it
meant and it’s both my decision and a combination of a few things.
"It can be a heavy number to carry, a
burden, and wearing it is an achievement which I want somebody to grow into.
"I want somebody to earn the right to
be Newcastle’s No 9. I don’t want to suggest that the strikers here
aren’t worthy of it because each of them has a real strong value.
"I
don’t anticipate years going by without one, but I know what the number nine
is and I don’t want it to be an issue. The only issue I want is the normal
stuff of the team performing well or not performing well, winning games or not
winning games, and that’s very much team based."
Latest arrival Leon Best commented:
"They showed me the numbers that were
available when I signed and I took the 20. The number 9 shirt has to be earned
here, it isn't like the number 9 shirt at other clubs. You can't just walk in
and take it."
PS:
Best has now confirmed that he shunned interest from his hometown club
Nottingham Forest in order to complete a move to Tyneside:
"This move happened at the right time for me. It was the easiest
decision I've had to make in my career.
"I
weighed up my options as there was interest from Nottingham Forest but I'm not
sure it's always the best thing to do to go back to your home town.
"There were lots of teams interested,
but Newcastle were the only ones willing to put the money in and as soon as I
heard that I was on the motorway.
"I've been talked about as a player
with potential ever since I made my debut at Southampton, but you can't be a
player of potential your whole career.
"There has got to be a stage where
you move on to the next level and I feel I have got the perfect platform to do
that with Newcastle."
Given our natural cynicism in most matters Toon-related, we cannot help
but wonder whether being given the number 9 shirt could be one incentive
offered when contract renewals are up for grabs.
And of course, if footballers went back to wearing the good old-fashioned
1 through 11 squad numbers (as the reserve and junior sides do without
apparent problems), then none of this twaddle would be remotely relevant....

Still in the hunt
after another sparkling display..... |
United's U18 side bludgeoned
their way into an FA Youth Cup Quarter Final spot on Wednesday night at Upton
Park, thanks to yet another away win.
After success on the road in previous rounds at Doncaster Rovers and Reading,
it took the Magpies just less than quarter of an hour to take the lead in East
London.
A
miscued corner
from Ryan McCorrigan caused confusion in the Hammers
area, before Newcastle defender Jeff Henderson shot home from six yards.
West Ham tried to hit back and dominated proceedings thereafter
without creating any outstanding chances.
Towards the end of the first half however Newcastle crept back into it, with
Phil Airey, Greg McDermott and Brad Inman all coming close before the interval.
That second goal came within four minutes of the restart, when Phil
Airey was played in and the striker supplied a tidy finish for his third goal in the
tournament.
And within four minutes his midfield colleague Brad Inman had made it 3-0 with a shot from
outside the box, maintaining his record of netting in every round.
With Newcastle in full flight, McDermott almost made it four before the home
side forced a decent stop from 'keeper Jak Alnwick.
And West Ham continued their efforts to reduce the arrears going into the final
ten minutes of the tie, hitting the Toon crossbar and also coming close moments
earlier.
However, they missed a golden opportunity with six minutes remaining, when
presented with a penalty following a handball by Airey. Eoin Wearen's weak
effort was easily blocked by Alnwick and it stayed at 3-0.
A home tie in the last eight now awaits Newcastle, against either Hull
City or Crystal Palace. They face each other on Thursday February 11th after
the original tie had to be postponed because of a frozen pitch at North Ferriby.
NUFC: Alnwick, Tavernier, Dummett, J. Henderson, Folan, Nzuzi, Inman, McDermott,

Born Or Died:
 1909
Samuel
Weaver born, Pilsley, Derbyshire.
(1929-36)
Left half who began his playing career
with Pilsley Red Rose and Sutton Town before
moving to Hull City in March 1928.
Transferred to SJP the following year, Weaver
won three England caps during his time with United, also collecting an FA Cup
winner's medal in our 1932 win over Arsenal.
August 1936 saw him move on to Chelsea, where he scored 9 goals in 120 games
and was appointed club captain.
Wartime football saw him appear in the colours of both Derby County and Leeds
United, while his final post-war club was Stockport County, from 1945 to 1947.
Weaver later served as manager of Leeds, Millwall and Mansfield - being
associated with the Stags in various roles from 1954 to 1971.
Noted for being an early practitioner of the
long throw, Weaver had played county cricket for Somerset before WW2 and was
Derbyshire CCC masseur for many years.
Passing away in April 1985 at Basford in, Nottinghamshire, his ashes were
scattered
on the pitch at Mansfield's Field Mill ground.
 1911
James Richardson born, Ashington.
(1928-34
& 1937-38)
Signed from Blyth Spartans, inside-right Jimmy was part of the 1932 FA Cup
Final win over Arsenal, winning two full England caps during his time on
Tyneside.
Moving to Huddersfield, Jimmy returned
from the Terriers to United for one season before leaving again, this time to
Millwall.
Post-war coaching roles at Leyton Orient and Millwall followed and Richardson
was living in Bexley when he passed away in August 1964.

Terry Wilson born, Broxburn, Scotland. (1992)
On-loan from Nottingham
Forest midfielder Terry celebrated his 23rd birthday playing his
second game on loan for us as a Keegan -inspired United beat Bristol
City (see below).
However, he wasn't retained and after returning to the City Ground and appearing in central
defence, a serious knee injury caused him to be released in
1993.
Playing in the non-league with Gresley Rovers and then Whitburn Juniors
back in his native Scotland, Wlson subsequently relocated to the USA
as a youth soccer coach.
1975
Clarence Williams Acuña Donoso born,
Rancagua, Chile. (2000-03)
The man called "a monster" by then-boss Bobby Robson had
a mixed time on Tyneside, scoring some vital goals and gave some
steady performances in central midfield.
However he bore the brunt of the fallout that followed our FA Cup
defeat at Wolves in January 2003 and played only twice before being
released in October that year to return home and be with his sick
mother.
He's now back playing in Chile for Union Espanola after first
appearing for Palestino after a career-threatening injury.
Clarence remains one of the
few players in recent years to have come to us on trial and impressed
enough for us to give out a permanent deal.

A momentous day for the club as Kevin Keegan took over as manager
to led his new charges to victory,
backed by a crowd that had virtually doubled from the
previous home league game.
On-loan Terry Wilson celebrated his
23rd birthday in a state of shock, having made his debut
in the previous week’s slaughter at Oxford under the
guidance of Ossie Ardiles.
Sadly for
him Keegan didn’t rate Wilson and he was packed
off back to Forest, where he was later forced to into retirement
through injury.
1999 Dunfermline Athletic confirmed that they were interested
in signing Peter Beardsley as a player/coach. He
didn't fancy it, apparently.
2005 Newcastle Reserves' unbeaten run came
to an end at the City Ground, despite taking the lead against Nottingham Forest Reserves.Martin Brittain put United in
front five minutes before the break but Forest sub Jonathan Wilmet
equalised before Eugen Bopp got the winner.
