We must stop beating like this...

For the second time in four days, United conjured up an improbable conclusion to a game, putting their fans through agony before somehow finding a way to win once again. Good luck to anyone attempting dry January with this lot...

Despite a brace from Harvey Barnes and a late penalty conversion by Anthony Gordon, Eddie Howe's side were reliant on an inspirational display from Aaron Ramsdale, who saved three spot kicks in a penalty shootout triumph.

A scoreless opening 45 minutes gave little clue as to what lay in store, before the deadlock was broken by who else but Barnes, latching on to Nick Woltemade's through ball and confidently firing home in the 50th minute.

That spurred the visitors into action and Evanilson twice came close to levelling as United conceded territory too easily - Ramsdale denying the Brazilian once and then deflecting a shot into his path, only for an offside flag to preserve the home side's advantage.

Sven Botman then rattled the Bournemouth crossbar from Lewis Hall's right wing corner, but the Cherries drew level when Alex Scott tapped home Evanilson's pass.

David Brooks then out paced Kieran Trippier before curling a 20 yard shot beyond former Cherries team mate Ramsdale in the 68th minute to put Andoni Iraola's side ahead.

That lead lasted until the fifth minute of second half added time, when visiting goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic sent Sandro Tonali tumbling in the box and Gordon obliged from 12 yards to send the tie into extra time.

Barnes then looked to have won it for the Magpies with an even later goal than the one that accounted for Leeds - heading home Gordon's perfect centre towards the back post with 118 minutes showing on the clock.

However, there were to be further twists to this Toon tale, beginning near the end of two additional minutes when Marcus Tavernier somehow got past Sven Botman before tucking the ball away amid general incredulity.

There was one last opportunity for United to clinch victory as Barnes laid a tempting ball across the box from the right into the path of Gordon - who somehow avoided contact with the goal at his mercy and another epic 4-3 looming.

The tie then moved on to penalties at the Leazes End; Gordon giving his side a positive start, only for Woltemade to hit the bar and Petrovic outwit Bruno Guimaraes, following another one of his trademark stuttering run-ups.

Ramsdale had denied Evanilson between those two home misses and the recalled United custodian went on to save from Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite as the shootout extended to nine spot kicks for each side.

Victory came at some cost to the black and whites; Tino Livramento limping off early in the second half with a hamstring problem and unwanted extra pitch time for the likes of Botman ahead of Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash.

Our Carabao foes Manchester City enjoyed a rather easier passage to the next round of the FA Cup: nine different players on target in a 10-1 home defeat of Exeter City.

Goalscorers included debutant Antoine Semenyo but not Erling Haaland, despite the Norwegian playing 45 minutes.

Eddie Howe said:

"A really great cup tie, I thought. Two teams going for the win. Again, a very open game, similar to Leeds, in the respect that I think we've had a right go today.

"The players have worked far harder than we wanted them to, with extra time, especially with Tuesday in mind, but the priority was to try and get through and sustain the competition, and we've managed that, so we're very pleased.

"Now we've got to count the cost of it, really, and try and regroup and try and get the players fresh for Tuesday
(against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup).

"The one thing we didn’t want was extra time. We were well aware of that before the game, but we’re 2-1 down with a couple of minutes left. So at that moment, we wanted extra time. We wanted to stay in the competition.

"So we knew as soon as we scored that goal that there was going to be an extra burden on the players.

"We haven’t scored enough late goals. You know, our numbers aren’t too bad actually and we’re increasing them rapidly so that’s good to see.

"And I think that feeling that you’re never out a game, would we have come back today if we hadn’t come back against Leeds? I don’t know, maybe not.

"Maybe there’s extra belief because we have scored late goals and then we do it again today. So maybe that helps us, and I believe those things truly are linked.

"So I’m pleased the fact we’ve come back, I’m pleased we’ve got through a penalty shootout, again, psychologically that can be really helpful for the group.

"I’m pleased for Rammers (Ramsdale), pleased for the whole squad, pleased for those that took penalties and those that missed will just add to our experience.”

On Harvey Barnes:

"It’s a brilliant return from someone who has always had the ability to score, always been a very, very good finisher – we see that in training consistently. It’s just great to see him getting the rewards on a game day.

"His two goals today were excellent and really pleasing for me because one comes off one side, one comes off the other, so he’s showing versatility.

On Tino Livramento:

"
(It) looks like a hamstring problem, which is always a worry when it's a muscular problem. Absolutely devastated for him because he's worked so hard to come back and looked in really good physical shape.

"I'm not too sure on any other details other than that, but it's going to be a blow. He's obviously going to be out for a period of time.”

On starting with Wissa and Woltemade together:

"
It was OK. There were some good bits and bits that weren’t maybe so good. I wanted to do it in a game that would tactically benefit us.

"I wanted the option to go to it, I don’t see this being a regular system… but who knows.”

On his selection policy:

"We have taken the right stance so far, but will assess it on a day-by-day basis.

"Obviously, one area we did not want to lose players was defensively and we have lost two in quick succession.

"Let's see, we discuss things on a daily basis, and we will try to make the right decision.

"I think we need players to play games. We need enough cover. Today, unfortunately, we put a couple of the players at risk just with extra time.

"That is every player on the pitch the risk gets higher in extra time the more you play. We'd love to have enough bodies to lessen that risk but at the moment we don't have the options."

Update: Matt Targett was in the Boro side beaten by Fulham in the FA Cup on Saturday, but under the latest rule change would be eligible to play for Newcastle in that competition were he to be recalled from his loan spell.

Departure:
Lawrence stands down

Following Friday's 0-1 home loss to Boro in PL2, Newcastle confirmed on Sunday morning that U21 Lead Coach Adam Lawrence had left the club with immediate effect.

The former Manchester United U18 Coach was appointed in succession to Diarmuid O'Carroll back in August, overseeing two victories in six league outings but watching his side fail to score in any of their last six games in all competitions.

Robbie Stockdale will take charge of the U21s until further notice, starting with Tuesday's Premier League International Cup tie against Benfica.

Stockdale arrived on Tyneside in February 2025 as assistant to O'Carroll, briefly acting as interim coach following his exit and then working as Lawrence's number two.

Departure:
Bairns take Ben

Scottish Premiership side Falkirk have completed the permanent signing of Newcastle reserve forward Ben Parkinson for an undisclosed figure.

The 20 year-old has signed a two and a half year contract and made his debut on Saturday from the bench in a 2-0 victory at St.Mirren.

England youth international "Parky" came through United's academy to make his reserve bow in 2022. Several senior friendly appearances were then followed by what was his sole first team outing - coming off the bench in a 0-2 Premier League loss at Bournemouth in November 2023

An ankle issue restricted his availability for last season but he ended as U21s top scorer with 12 in all competitions.

A broken bone in his foot then blighted the current campaign for Ben, delayed his involvement until last November.

PLIC:
U21s Benfica (h) change

The kick-off time of Newcastle's closing Premier League International Cup fixture has been altered, with Tuesday's visit of Benfica moving from 7pm to 1pm.

Venue remains Whitley Park.

Carabao Cup:
Manchester City (h)

The Magpies are in Carabao Cup Semi-final first leg action on Tuesday, against Manchester City.

It's an 8pm kick-off at SJP live on ITV1 and Sky Sports.

The Citizens were allocated 4,893 places but look to have returned an unspecified number.

Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House from 5pm. Card payments accepted.

Both sides entered in the Third Round of this season's competition as a consequence of their Champions League involvement.

Eddie Howe's side have defeated Bradford City (4-1), Spurs (2-0) and Fulham (2-1) on Tyneside as they attempt to defend the trophy they lifted at Wembley last March.

Pep Guardiola meanwhile oversaw away wins at Huddersfield Town (2-0) and Swansea City (3-1) before seeing off Brentford (2-0) at the Etihad Stadium.

Two goals from Harvey Barnes gave the Magpies a 2-1 success over City in the PL at SJP back in November.


Team: Tino Livramentro is the latest addition to a sick list already including Fabian Schar, William Osula, Emil Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles.

Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy are both doubtful, while there's no indication at what point Dan Burn will return.

Coral rate this tie as follows:

NUFC win 21/10

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.

On This Day in History
11th January


Born Or Died:

1925 Jimmy Scoular born, Livingston, Scotland.(1953-61)

The last player to lift the FA Cup as Magpies captain, Wing half Scoular won two First Division titles with Portsmouth before joining United in June 1953, at a cost of £22,250.

His Pompey association followed a wartime posting with HMS Dolphin as a submarine engineer based at Gosport. Before his navy service, Jimmy had played for Alloa Athletic, Stenhousemuir and Leith Athletic. 

Known as a fearsome tackler and according to some reports a little too brusque for the comfort of Pompey's Board, Scoular had received some stick from Newcastle fans in games against the Magpies.

However, he came to be well regarded at St. James' Park and assumed the captaincy - although failing to add to his previous total of nine full caps for Scotland.

Jimmy remained at SJP until 1961, when at the age of 36 he was installed as player -manager of Bradford Park Avenue and led them to promotion from Division Four.

1964 saw him appointed Cardiff City boss - a position he held until 1973 - despite enduring a run of twelve winless games following his arrival at Ninian Park. He's remembered for leading the Bluebirds to the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1968 (losing out to SV Hamburg).

Later spells scouting for Aston Villa and Wolves were followed by a brief return to management with Newport County in 1976.

Subsequently scouting for both Newcastle and Swansea City, Jimmy stayed in Cardiff, working as a salesman for a chemical firm and running a guest house in the city. 

He passed away in March 1998.

1973 Lee Makel born, Washington.
(1990-92) 

Mackem-supporting midfielder given his first team debut by Ossie Ardiles at the end of the 1990/91 season, coming off the bench during a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion.

Appearing for an ailing Magpies side the following season, Makel finished on the winning side just once and netted against Port Vale when he made what was to be his final appearance, in the 0-4 New Years Day hammering at Southend United.

Within a month Ardiles was gone and Makel failed to play a game for Kevin Keegan, sealing his SJP fate when making unrealistic demands for a new contract at the end of that season.

Kenny Dalglish paid £160K to sign him for Blackburn Rovers, but Makel only managed six appearances in three years - including Charity Shield & Champions League runouts.

Later moves took him on to Huddersfield Town, Hearts, Motherwell (trial) Portsmouth, Bradford City, Livingston, Plymouth Argyle and Dunfermline.

After a second stint with Livingston, 2008 then saw Lee move to Sweden, joining Ostersunds FK in a player/coaching role, before later becoming manager.

Returning to Scotland in 2011, Makel played for Cowdenbeath in addition to developing a talent spotting school in the Scottish border region, entitled Soccer's Next Star.

Becoming Cowdenbeath Assistant Manager, Lee subsequently took up Academy coaching roles at Hibernian and Sheffield United.

By 2024 Makel had become part of the i2i coaching academy based near York.

1996 Death of Bobby Cowell, 73. (1943-56)
Member of all three victorious 1950's FA Cup Final teams.

Pratt(8), Higgins(10,65), McCairns(1-3), Fletcher(1-5)
5,000
After notching no less than 51 goals in 12 league and cup home wins from the start of the season, Newcastle had their colours unceremoniously lowered by the Mariners.

The Hull Daily Mail
reporter asserted that, "All Grimsby was delighted, while the Northern supporters were utterly dumbfounded at the result".

1902 Stoke (a)
0-0 
(0-0)
Division One
P19, 19pts, 12th/18

The home side had conceded seven goals without reply at Liverpool a week before, but were still able to extend Newcastle's winless run to six league games.

1908 Nottingham Forest (h)
2-0 
(0-0)
FA Cup 1st Round 
Appleyard(63), Rutherford(83)

Both sides prepared for this FA Cup tie at Redcar, described by the Nottingham Journal as a "delightful north sea coast resort".

1913 Bradford City (h)

G.Wilson(5)

A combination of bad light and falling snow saw this tie abandoned at half time.

Gardner(65)

Ahead at half time, United were then pegged back by the Third Divison North side, who were backed by over 5,000 fans on a snowy Tyneside afternoon.

Another 1,000+ crowd then gathered at York station to welcome back the Minstermen.

1936 Walsall (a)
2-0 
(2-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round 
Connelly(1), J.Smith(21) 
19,882 
Eddie Connelly netted after just 30 seconds of his debut at Fellows Park, as United extended their 100% away record against the Saddlers to a noteworthy five meetings.

1947 Crystal Palace (h)
6-2 
(4-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round 
Pearson(4), Shackleton(36,80), Wayman(38), Bentley(39), Stobbart(65)
Naylor(63,86
)
43,183
There was no Cup upset at SJP as the side from Division Three South were duly dispatched - thanks in part to a rapid scoring sequence of three goals in just four minutes...

1958 Birmingham City (h) 1-2 (0-0)
Division One
P26, 20pts, 17th/22 
White(63) 
Kinsey(64), Brown(77)
34,825
An eighth home defeat of the season from 13 games at Gallowgate followed the loss of Bob Stokoe to injury after an hour.

Although Len White's seventh goal in four games immediately put United ahead, City hit back to claim both points.

A mini pitch invasion in the 88th minute was prompted by the referee's refusal to award  penalties after two fouls on White, police leading away two incensed fans. 

1964 Charlton Athletic (a) 2-1 (2-0)
Division Two
P26, 27pts, 8th/22 
McGarry(30), Thomas(32) 
Matthews(56)
18,558
The Magpies showed no ill- effects from their FA Cup loss to Bedford Town the previous week with a victory that extended their unbeaten record at the Valley to an improbable eight visits.

1964 Bobby Cummings scored twice for Newcastle Reserves at home to Preston North End but also missed from the penalty spot. It ended 2-2.

1969 Leicester City (a)
1-2 
(0-2)
Division One
P26, 23pts, 15th/22 
Robson(47) 
Fern(33), Clarke(43)
21,673
Two behind at half time, Pop Robson's nineteenth goal of the season for United in all competitions wasn't enough to stop his side leaving Filbert Street empty-handed.

The closing stages saw John McNamee move into the forward line alongside Wyn Davies, but the Foxes held firm. 

1971 Ipswich Town (h)
1-1 
(1-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round 
Mitchell(42)
Mills(76) 
32,150 
Twice postponed due to the winter weather conditions on Tyneside, this tie went ahead on a Monday evening.

Ian Mitchell's only United goal looked to be enough to book a place in the Fourth Round, away at either West Bromwich Albion or Scunthorpe United.

However, Newcastle 'keeper Iam McFaul fumbled a speculative effort from Mick Mills into his net to consign his side to a replay in Suffolk that they lost 1-2.

1975 Tottenham Hotspur (h) 2-5 (0-4)
Division One
P24, 26pts, 11th/22 
Burns(55),T.Craig(79)
Conn(14,43,62), Knowles(28), Duncan(41) 
39,679 
Alfie Conn marked his first team debut for Spurs by hitting a hat trick during a bizarre game that was nothing like the final scoreline suggested.

The Rangers forward had made the switch to White Hart Lane the previous July, but injury and the replacement of Bill Nicholson as manager by Terry Neill had left Conn waiting for a call-up from the reserves. 

1978 Peterborough United (h) 2-0 (0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round Replay
T.Craig(52pen), Blackhall(86)
26,837
After hanging on in the first game at London Road, there was to be no replay upset as Newcastle made it three games unbeaten in 1978. Sadly they failed to win another match in the entire season.
 
 
1986 West Bromwich Albion (a) 1-1
(1-0)
Division One
P25, 36pts, 10th/22 
Wharton(35)
Varadi(52) 
9,106 
A freezing afternoon at the Hawthorns saw a Baggies forward pair composed of Toon old boys deny the Magpies a point.

Imre Varadi netted, while strike partner George Reilly had just moved from SJP and was a handful for his former team mates, seeing two efforts cleared off the line.

1986 Joe Allon's brace gave Newcastle reserves a 2-0 win over Central League leaders Manchester United at Old Trafford.

1992 Watford (a)
2-2 
(1-2)
Division Two
P28, 29pts, 22nd/24 
Kelly(23), Hunt(59)
Holdsworth(1), Porter(4pen) 
9,811 
The home team took just 40 seconds to open the scoring and when goalkeeper Tommy Wright conceded a penalty within three minutes, a hammering seemed inevitable. 

Gary Porter converted that but the hosts then lost their way. Even so, David Kelly's goal was a major surprise to the crowd as well as Waugh the Hornets 'keeper - who let it through his legs. 

A leveller from substitute Andy Hunt could even have been followed by a winner, as Watford faded badly, to the dismay of their fans.

1997 Aston Villa (a)
2-2
(1-2)
Premier League
P22, 38pts, 4th/20 
Shearer(16), Clark(21)
Yorke(39), Milosevic(52)
39,339 
Following Kevin Keegan's abrupt resignation, Arthur Cox and Terry McDermott took caretaker charge of United at Villa Park, 

United went two up thanks to Alan Shearer's strike and Lee Clark's lob, the latter after Mark Bosnich fell over and dropped the ball at the Holte End.

Villa then struck twice to level the game before Shaka Hislop saved a 61st minute penalty and the rebound from childhood pal Dwight Yorke to claim a point. 


Alan Shearer scores the opener

1997 Another day, another new name for the vacant managers job -this time that of Ajax boss, Luis Van Gaal.

1999 United's reserves were in Pontins League Cup action, beaten 1-2 at home to the smoggies. Temuri Ketsbaia got our goal.

2003 West Ham (a)

Premiership

P22, 39pts, 4th/20

Cole(14), Defoe(45)

An odious ex-Leeds United player made the pre-game headlines - and the cover of the match programme - before his home debut for the club he'd allegedly supported as a boy.

It was a controversial deal, hard-up Leeds unable to get a transfer fee for the midfielder and home fans protested outside the ground over the move.

Toon fans inevitably took advantage of the situation and came up with one or two choice ditties about him.

Staying at the Boleyn until the end of the season, he was unable prevent the Hammers going down, before jumping ship again - to SJP. His name? Lee David Bowyer.

P21, 30pts, 7th/20

Referee Paul Durkin was applauded for owning up to an error in refusing Alan Shearer a penalty after he was tripped by home 'keeper Tim Howard.

Unfortunately his post-match confessional didn't help us, but at least he ruled out a Silvestre effort many Old Trafford -influenced whistlers would have given.

Rio Ferdinand was the butt of taunts from Toon fans, as he began a nine month suspension for missing a drugs test.

2011 United's appeal against the red card shown to Cheick Tiote at Stevenage in the FA Cup Third Round defeat was rejected by the FA
but not deemed frivolous, meaning that his three-match ban wasn't increased to four.

2015
The name firmly in the frame for Alan Pardew's SJP successor was ex-Lyon coach Remi Garde - if many of Sunday's newspapers were to be believed.

2016 Newcastle confirmed the signing of Henri Saivet from French side Bordeaux. 

The 25 year-old Senegal international midfielder arrived for an undisclosed fee that was claimed to be in the region of £5m.

2016 Newcastle U21s returned with a point after a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa in PL2 at their adopted home of Walsall's Banks's Stadium.

United halted a run of three successive defeats at Molineux, despite adding further names to their injury list.

Paul Dummett and Dwight Gayle suffered muscle strains in the first half hour and Joelinton played on with a groin problem.

The weakened side took a point, thanks in part to a succession of stops from Martin Dubravka.

2022 Following the capture of Kieran Trippier, United were closing in a further signing with Burnley's Chris Wood en route to Tyneside for a medical.

The 30 year-old New Zealand international forward became available after a claimed £20m release clause was activated.
