tickets
Wednesday brought confirmation of an increased allocation for
next week's Champions League visit to Spain, taking it from 2,215
places to 2,986.
As a consequence, the points requirement for supporters who have
already applied has dropped from 85 to 53 and they can select seats
until 4pm today (Wednesday).
Unlike previous
sales of this nature, NUFC don't contact qualifying applicants, they
just log on and select seats.
Barcelona announced on Tuesday that their capacity had been extended
to 62,652 with immediate effect.
PS: As a consequence of that increased allocation, the away support
will be in a different area of the Nou Camp - rendering
already-completed seat selections redundant.
Revised seats will be sent out by NUFC to those supporters, with no
choice over where they will be. Those affected should receive an
email from NUFC explaining this.
Champions League:
Almost.....
Newcastle 1
Barcelona
1
Eddie Howe had called upon his players not to waste the chance of a Champions League
last 16
home tie against illustrious opposition and for 90 minutes they did just
that, until the most tragic of finales in second half added time.
The La Liga leaders ran out 2-1 winners here in September after a scoreless
first half and tonight's game unfolded in similar style, Newcastle more than
holding their own in a tense first 45 minutes after their expected frenetic
start raised noise levels but didn't bring the hoped-for goal.
The absence of Anthony Gordon from the starting line-up due to illness saw
William Osula keep his place, leaving £120m+ of German and DR Congo strike
talent benched.
Without repeating his memorable contribution here against Manchester United,
the Dane was more dangerous than on Saturday, heading one Elanga cross over
and just failing to connect with another decent delivery
Chances were a premium for both sides and neither 'keeper had been seriously
called on by the mid point of the second period, when Robert
Lewandowski shot just wide. Elanga's first half effort was saved as an
offside flag was raised.
That before United made a treble switch in the hope of establishing a first
leg advantage, withdrawing Osula, Elanga and Kieran Trippier after
signs that the latter's race was close to being run after another supreme effort.
And it almost worked immediately, as Jacob Murphy met a left wing centre
from the immense Lewis Hall but fired wastefully over the Gallowgate
crossbar.
Harvey Barnes then went even closer, pinging his 74th minute shot off the
post before Joelinton knocked in the rebound from an offside position.
Although introducing Marcus Rashford from the bench, the visitors seemed
content to play within themselves ahead of next week's second leg at the Nou
Camp.
That all changed in the 86th minute though when Murphy wrapped his right
foot around the ball on the right and Barnes met it with a cushioned low
shot from six yards out that Joan Garcia could only help into the net.
United did their best to keep on the front foot as the extra four minutes
began - a second goal would have really blown the roof off and further
altered the balance of the tie.
However, Gordon's ambitious attempt at finding Sandro Tonali rather than
playing a simpler ball to Jacob Ramsey began a sequence of events
with grave consequences.
For once the hosts fatally surrendered territory and allowed Barca to press
them back, substitute Dani Olmo tempting Malick Thiaw into a challenge as he
tried to engineer a shooting chance from just inside the Newcastle area.
That gave the previously well-shackled Lamine Yamal the opportunity to send
Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way from 12 yards before the much-maligned referee
blew for full time - the penalty award the least contentious of his
decisions.
Heartbreak for the Magpies then after a concluding act every bit as
gut-wrenching as the 98th minute penalty that denied them a famous victory
in Paris back in 2023.
Regardless of the eventual outcome of this two-legged tie, emulating the
class of 1997 by winning here tonight would have been a genuine achievement
in isolation - and we came bloody close to pulling it off.
Once feelings of sorrow and frustration subside though, pride in the evident
effort exhibited by United persists - together with the tantalising thought
that although a miracle is still required in the Nou Camp to reach the last
eight, it's now a slightly smaller one. We can still dream.
Team:
Ramsdale, Trippier (Livramento 67), Hall, Burn, Thiaw,
Tonali, Ramsey, Joelinton, Barnes (Willock 90+1), Elanga (J.Murphy 67),
Osula (Gordon 67).
Subs n/u: Pope, Ruddy, Aidan Harris, Botman, A.Murphy, Neave, Wissa,
Woltemade.
Goal: Barnes 86
Booked: Tonali, Willock
Dan Burn and Joelinton avoided the yellow cards that would have seen
them suspended
for the second leg
of the tie.
FCB: Joan Garcia, Araujo (Espart 88), Cancelo, Cubarsi,
Martin, Bernal (Casado 73), Pedri (Olmo 70), Yamal, Fermin Lopez (Ferran Torres 88)

Subs n/u: Bardghji, Cortes, Eric Garcia, Kochen, Marques, Gavi,
Szczesny.
Goal: Yamal 90+6pen
Booked: Cancelo
Referee:
Marco Guida (Italy)
He knew Fermin Lopez and Yamal were one booking away from missing the second
leg and tailored his decisions accordingly. No other conclusion makes any
sense.
VAR: Daniele Chiffi (Italy)
Eddie Howe said:
"We played really well in the game. We were on top for
a lot of it. It will be a different sort of game at their place, but we know
what we can do and we know when we are at our level how well we can play.
"What a feeling it would have been to go there 1-0 up but we
are level in the tie and all to play for.
" It is one game, away from home, where we can show what we can do.
It will be an exciting game for us.
"I thought we were outstanding, a really, really good performance. We kept the intensity up.
"The moment at the end takes that in a negative light but one of our best
performances.
"I thought we had enough to
score before we did.
"The game showed we are capable but we know we
probably have to give more going to their stadium. We are capable of
doing it but we will need to be at our very best.
"It is my job to try and pick them up. We have unfortunately had to do that a few times this seasons but
our strength of character should never be in doubt.
"We will be ready by the time the next game comes round.
"We believe in ourselves and our
capability and we have shown that today.
"In the cold light of day when we wake up tomorrow, we’ll see the
positives. The tie is very much alive, we played really well.
"We showed our qualities. We’ve been really competitive. The
challenge is we need more on a consistent basis. We’ve showed we can
play against the very best when we’re at our best.
"A really good performance from the team, very, very good in all
phases, really. I thought we limited them with a really good
defensive performance from the team and I thought we attacked really
well too.
"Although we didn’t create an abundance of clear-cut chances, I thought there
were chances all through the game for us.
"It was great to see us finally score and then the last attack of the
game, the last kick of the game, it’s a tough one to take."
On conceding the penalty:
"I think it is soft but Malick (Thiaw) makes contact.
"We had our shape, there's no
way we should concede that goal. We will look at it but I don't want
it override the 93 minutes before that in which we were quality.
"I haven't seen
the goal again and it's sort of a little bit unclear to me quite
what happened. Sometimes you sort of don't get the fixed picture, so
I'd need to see it again before sort of giving you my opinion.
"But certainly as a team, we should have done better. We defended so
well for the game all through the game and in different phases. The
goal seemed soft. I remember as the ball went through the middle of
us and it should never happen at that stage of the game.”
On Anthony Gordon and William Osula:
"With Anthony, that was (a fitness test) this morning
and Anth didn't make it. That is a pretty good sign that he is not
in the best physical condition.
"Doctors and everyone did a good job to get him at the start
line for us, and I thought he made a good contribution when he came
on.
"So it meant an opportunity for Will, his profile and his
qualities were good for this game, that's why we selected him, his
legs and pace, he is a willing runner.
"Up against a defensive high line, I thought it was the right
choice. I thought he played well, I was really pleased with Will.
There was not a goal for him, but he more than played his part."
On not fielding Yoane Wissa or Nick Woltemade:
"It is always a tough decision to not play players that I
love. That is part of being a manager. I had to pick the team and do
what was best for the group."
Crowd: 52,103 including around 1,600 Catalans in L7 - twice the
number that travelled for the first game this season.
We're aware of noticeable numbers of Barca followers in home
sections, not just corporate seats and the dedicated away area in
the front section of the Milburn Stand.
That's an inevitable consequence of the way tickets and memberships
are now sold and something that fans of PL clubs pursuing similar
policies are also reporting.
Former Magpies Tino Asprilla, Keith Gillespie, Alan Shearer and Les
Ferdinand were all in attendance.
Stats:
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six European
fixtures, the best run in the Champions League. In all European
games, it's their best sequence since going seven games without
defeat during the 2012/13 Europa League.
Harvey Barnes scored his 14th goal of the season and now has six to his name in
European competition, putting him level with Obafemi Martins in the club's
scoring chart.
Barnes is now one behind Anthony Gordon as the club's top scorer in
all competitions this season. Gordon's 15 includes nine penalties,
the 14 scored by Barnes includes none.

Premier League
:
Arsenal (a) update
The chances of Newcastle's Premier League visit to the Emirates
Stadium going ahead as rescheduled on Sat 25.04.2026 with a 5.30pm
kick-off look to have reduced following Monday's FA Cup Quarter-final
draw.
The Gunners landed a last eight visit to Championship club
Southampton on or around Sat 04.04.2026, with victory in that
ensuring a Semi-final at Wembley for Mikel Arteta's side rather than
hosting United on Sat 25.04.2026.
Were that to happen, an alternative midweek date would be needed for
our game, notwithstanding possible Champions League
involvement for both or either clubs as follows:
CLQF1: Tue 07.04.2026 or Wed 08.04.2026
CLQF2: Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed 15.04.2026
CLSF1: Tue 28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026
CLSF2: Tue 05.05.2026 or Wed 06.05.2026
PS: Monday's FA Cup Fifth Round win for West Ham means that their PL
visit to SJP on Sun 17.05.2026 remains tbc - given that the Cup
Final takes place on Sat 16.05.2026.

Palace (a) tickets
Update:
Seat selection opens Wed 11.03.2026, 2pm 77+ points
Seat selection opens Wed 11.03.2026, 4pm 28+ points
Seat selection closes Fri 13.03.2026, 2pm
Allocation: 2,687
As now confirmed by Newcastle, our Premier League visit to Selhurst Park remains subject to alteration from the advertised 3pm
KO on Sat 11.04.2026.
Were Palace to win their UEFA Conference League 16 tie versus AEK
Larnaca on Thu 12.03.2026 / Thu 19.03.2026 they'd play
a Quarter-final first leg on Thu 09.04.2026.
That would then see their PL home game against the Magpies delayed 24 hours to Sun 12.04.2026 - as
has happened for Palace's game
against Leeds this weekend*.
(*That's categorised as a PL displaced fixture, meaning that it's a
2pm KO, televised live on Sky Sports. Newcastle's game would be
similarly categorised if moved).
In the event that Newcastle were to defeat Barcelona in the
Champions League, the scheduling of a Quarter-final second leg on
Tue 14.04.2026 or Wed 15.04.2026 would also be a factor in when the
Palace game is played. That's because UEFA take no account of
domestic fixture scheduling when deciding the day that Champions
League ties are played.

Old boy updates
From the BBC, Tuesday:
Former footballer Joey Barton and a second suspect have
been charged after a man was assaulted near a golf club.
It happened on Sunday at 21:00 GMT in Fairway, near Huyton and
Prescot Golf Club on Merseyside.
Officers arrived at the scene and found a man with injuries to
his face and ribs, Merseyside Police said.
Barton, 43, of Widnes, and Gary O'Grady, 50, of Huyton, are
due to appear at Wirral Magistrates Court later after being charged
with section 18 wounding with intent.
The victim is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
At a High Court hearing earlier over a libel claim involving
Barton, Gervase de Wilde, representing ex-England footballer Eni
Aluko, said his instructing solicitor had "received a call from a
duty solicitor in a police station in Liverpool" shortly before the
hearing.
Mr de Wilde told the court that Barton "was arrested yesterday
and is currently being held in custody".
(Barton was seen at SJP on Saturday night).
Earlier: Former Magpie Kevin Nolan has been relieved of his duties
as Northampton Town manager, following a poor run that has left the
Cobblers in League One relegation zone.
Town's Director of Football Colin Calderwood - another SJP old
boy - has taken interim charge at Sixfields Stadium.
Meanwhile, Jack Colback has confirmed his retirement from
playing aged 36, having made just a single appearance for
Leicestershire-based non leaguers Anstey Nomads.
PS: AFC Wimbledon report that their scout and ex-Newcastle
defender Andy Thorn is recovering well after suffering a
heart attack in February.

Born Or Died:
1930 Tommy Casey born, Comber, Northern Ireland. (1952-58)
Northern Irish international who played at the 1958 World Cup
Finals in Sweden alongside fellow Magpies Dick Keith and Alf McMichael.
Signed from amateur side Bangor on a free transfer by Second Division Leeds
United in 1949, Casey failed to establish himself at Elland Road and dropped
down a league to join Bournemouth.
Coming to the attention of Stan Seymour via ex-Magpie turned scout Bill
McCracken, a £7,000 move followed in August 1952.
Left half Tommy debuted in a 1-2 loss at Burnley a month later and was in and
out of the senior side in the next six seasons.
Winning an FA Cup Winners medal in 1955 when deputising for the injured
Charlie Crowe, his final senior outing came in January 1958 against Birmingham
City (he had turned down the chance to join Cardiff City in 1956).
Despite a lack of first team pitch time though, Casey was in the Northern
Ireland party for the World Cup Finals that summer, playing twice in a forward
role.
Negotiations with Portsmouth continued while Casey was in Sweden and upon his
return, an £8,000 switch to Fratton Park was completed.
With Pompey slipping towards relegation the following March, Tommy made a £6,000
move to second tier side Bristol City - reuniting with former national team
boss Peter Doherty.
Remaining at Ashton Gate until 1963, he later served Gloucester City as
player-manager and had a spell with Inter Roma in the Canadian city of
Toronto.
1965 saw him coaching Swansea, before returning to his native Northern Ireland
to take charge of Distillery.
Back in England in 1972, Tommy took the post of Assistant Manager at Everton
and then a similar role at Coventry City.
A stint as Grimsby Town boss ended in 1976 and he later coached KR Reykjavik
(Iceland) and Harstaad (Norway) before setting up as fishmonger in Portbury,
near Bristol.
Casey also took charge of the Northern Ireland youth side at one stage.
Remaining in the Bristol area, he passed away in January 2009.
1952 John Brownlie born, Caldercruix, Scotland. (1978-82)
Scottish international right back signed from Hibernian in
August 1978, Ralph Callachan going to Easter Road in exchange.
Joining fellow Hibee John Blackley as Bill McGarry sought promotion to the top
flight at the first time of asking, his bow came in a 0-0 draw at Cambridge
United.
Brownlie had won seven full caps between 1971 and 1975 including a 1-0 loss to
England in front of over 119,000 fans at Hampen Park.
However his career was blighted by injury, the most severe of which was a
broken leg sustained while playing for Hibs against East Fife in January 1973
that saw him sidelined for a year.
His absence from the opening half of the 1980/81 season was keenly felt also,
sustaining knee ligament damage in a pre-season kickabout against Hearts at
Tynecastle.
While at SJP he sported a curly perm that later grew out and
was accompanied by a 'tache. He was one of a number of Toon players based in
Morpeth; his bright orange Ford Capri a familiar sight.
Goalscoring was a rarity, John's first coming during a crazy FA Cup tie at
Colchester United, on a night when fellow full back Wes Saunders also broke his duck
in front of goal.
He then galloped upfield to shoot home at the Leazes End in a home game
against Oldham in March 1982, the visitors wearing an awful orange away strip.
Brownlie then repeated the feat in the final home game that season against
Wrexham, with an identical run and finish in what was his last United
appearance.
The following season saw him join Middlesbrough after a contractual bust-up
just before Keegan's arrival, John Craggs returning from Ayresome Park a short
time later as right back cover.
However Brownlie made only a dozen league appearances during his time on
Teesside, going on loan to Finnish side Valaudus.
Spells at Hartlepool United, Berwick Rangers, Blyth Spartans followed before
ending his playing career and taking up a first managerial post at Ashington.
Before becoming assistant boss at Cowdenbeath in 1987, Brownlie later took
charge at Central Park before two periods as assistant at Clyde were separated
by a brief stint managing Meadowbank Thistle.
Coaching youngsters at East Stirlingshire and Raith, he became Arbroath boss
in September 2000 - remaining for three years.
In late 2006 John rejoined East Stirlingshire in a coaching role, briefly
becoming caretaker boss in February 2008.
Living in the village of Whitecross near Linlithgow, he scouted for Hibs
during Terry Butcher's ill-fated stint in charge in 2013/14.
An unexpected call from Berwick Rangers during May 2019 then saw John make a
return to management at the age of 67.
However, he proved unable to prevent the Scottish Second Division basement
side suffering relegation and left Shielfield.
1978 Albert Luque Martos born Terrassa, Spain. (2005-07)
According to Graeme Souness, this waste of a pair of boots was
bought by Shepherd & Son rather than the manager. Souness claimed he was
told Luque would cost £2.5m but the actual deal was reported as £9.5m.
However, he was only marginally worse value for money than the £8m lashed out
by Souness on Jean Alain Boumsong....
Beginning his career in the "B" teams of Barcelona and Real Mallorca,
Luque was capped at U21 level by Spain and loaned out to Malaga in 2000.
Appearing for Spain at the 2000 Olympics in Australia (at football in case of
doubt), he was sold to Deportivo La Coruna two years later and won his first
full senior cap against South Africa at the 2002 World Cup Finals.
Appearing against Newcastle in both legs of the Intertoto Cup tie at the start
of the 2005/06 season, Luque moved to SJP in late August - just before Michael
Owen.
The Spaniard debuted in a home defeat to Manchester United - with an
interpreter present on the touchline - before going off to play two games for
Spain.
He then lasted just 35 minutes of his second appearance (at home to Fulham)
before being stretchered off with a hamstring pull.
That kept him out until late November, after which he made intermittent
appearances in the first team as Souness departed and Glenn Roeder took over
as caretaker boss.
Luque's first goal came from the bench in our famous 4-1 w at the mackems
chipping the 'keeper to complete the scoring.
Ending his first season as a Magpie by netting against Celtic during the Alan
Shearer testimonial, he scored our first goal of the campaign at home to
Lillestrom in the Intertoto Cup the following July.
Despite converting a penalty in a friendly match with PSV @ SJP however, he
faced an uphill struggle for a first team shirt.
That was due to niggling injuries, a lack of pace and ineffectiveness in the
Premier League - in short he just wasn't suited to playing English domestic
football.
This realisation caused Roeder to look elsewhere and after a doomed pursuit of
Dirk Kuyt, Obafemi Martins and Antoine Sibierski appeared, whilst Guiseppe
Rossi came in on loan from Manchester United.
Luque did stage a brief comeback with two long-range strikes against Liverpool
on his reserve debut and then returned to the first team for a UEFA Cup trip
to Palermo.
His third and final competitive goal as a Magpie gave us a 1-0 victory in
Sicily, as he nodded in a James Milner cross and looked almost as stunned as
his team mates - and the 180 away fans present.
After failing to make it off the bench for a League Cup tie at Watford barely
a week later though, the writing was on the wall for Luque - a mooted loan
move to PSV in January 2007 stalling over wage demands.
Making occasional first team appearances, Luque scored twice in a home
pre-season friendly win over Celtic - after which new Magpies boss Sam
Allardyce revealed he'd tried to sign him from Deportivo when in charge of
Bolton Wanderers.
That second honeymoon didn't last though - despite another penalty conversion
at home to Juventus.
After watching from the subs bench as new signing Alan Smith scored against
Sampdoria and Marc Viduka strutted his stuff, Luque was sold to Dutch side
Ajax.
A decent start to life in Amsterdam soon descended into oblivion however, amid
injuries and a dressing room bust-up.
Allowed to leave on loan before the start of the 2008/09 season, Luque
returned "home" to one of his former clubs, Malaga.
That seemed to be to his liking and the deal was made permanent a year later,
when he was granted a free transfer by Ajax.
However, injury disrupted his involvement in the 2009/10 season and Luque's
32nd birthday arrived with just four Primera Liga starts and one goal to his
name.
Continued fitness absences saw Albert released by Malaga in January 2011, at
which point he announced his retirement.
Appearing as a TV pundit in his homeland thereafter, Luque also held a
position as an advisor to the Spanish FA.
December 2022 brought news of his installation as Sporting Director for the
Spanish national team.
That
role saw him in court during 2025 as part of the trial of former Spanish
Football Federation supremo Luis Rubiales for sexual assault, namely a kiss
between Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso after full time in the 2023 Women's World
Cup Final.
Accused of coercion related to events that followed that incident, Luque was
acquitted.
1994 Billy Ions born Ashington.
(2010-12)
Striker who left his native
Northumberland as a youngster when emigrating to the Canary Islands with his
family.
Linking up with the Cadets (junior) section of CD Tenerife, Billy's progress
was noted by Newcastle and following a trial, he joined the club in February
2010 - having also had trials at Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and
the mackems.
Debuting for United's U18s from the bench during a 2-2 home draw with
Nottingham Forest in February 2011, Ions proved unable to hold down a regular
place and made just one start the following season.
Leaving the club in 2012, Billy joined Leeds United and featured for them at
both academy and reserve level but again left without securing a contract.
His next destination was the Nike Academy, before signing for Finnish side
Palloseura Kemi Kings in 2013 after impressing while playing against them in a
friendly match.
Maintaining his fitness during their close season, Ions featured for both West Auckland Town and Newcastle Benfield in the
Northern League.
Two seasons at Palloseura saw Billy take the captain's armband and help
achieve back to back promotions before a loan switch to fellow Finns SJK in
2016.
Converting that move to a permanent deal in 2017, Ions remained at SJK until
2020, when he returned to the UK.
Quitting the game due to injury, he later worked as a tattoo artist in North
Shields.

2001 Alan Shearer broke down in
training after playing two comeback games since knee surgery - a setback
raising fears that his playing career could be over after netting 93
goals for his hometown club.
Thankfully that proved not to be the case, but he didn't return to
action until the following September.
2002 Two goals in three second
half minutes from Shola Ameobi and Brian Kerr saw Newcastle beat Bolton
Reserves 2-1 at Kingston Park.

Our Champions League hopes weren't quite dead and buried but this
draw left us needing a miraculous set of results in the final round of
group stage games.
United led twice through Shearer as his side enjoyed fantastic support
from an estimated 12,000 fans massed behind the goal they attacked in
the second half.
Unwanted items lobbed onto them included coins, pebbles, spittle, urine
and a flare which thankfully didn't cause serious injury.
Future Mags Martins & Emre played for Inter, while full back
Francesco Coco had a brief, unsuccessful, trial at SJP.

An incredible night at SJP. Exactly

mystery.
With three-quarters of the game
gone Newcastle had stuttered and spluttered and trailed. Four goals in
17 minutes however turned the tie on its head and paved the way for
progress to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
Craig Bellamy levelled before
Alan Shearer headed a second, Laurent Robert hit an outlandish free-kick
and Titus Bramble volleyed in a spectacular fourth as things went from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
Mallorca received eight yellow cards, two of
those for Edu Moya. Future Barca star, Samuel Eto'o looked distinctly
average.

from the FA Youth Cup at the Quarter Final stage, beaten 2-3 at SJP by a
Chelsea side who went on to lift the Trophy.
Chelsea took the lead but Olivier Kemen levelled with a "hand of
god" effort before Adam Armstrong made it 2-1 only for the Blues to
score twice in the second half.

Former

His own press release read:
"I have the pleasure to confirm I have committed to a legendary
English club, with the massive challenge of remaining part of the
Premier League.
“It will be a challenge not just for me and my staff but for the
players, the club and the fans. All of us must push together in the same
direction and with the same target in mind.
"Personally, it means my return to the Premier League, closer to my
home and my family. I can’t be happier. C’mon Toon Army! The club
and I need your total involvement!”

After seven points from three away games, United conjured up a dreadful
home display as Rafa Benitez marked a year in charge at Gallowgate.
His side retained top spot from Brighton on goal difference, but Fulham
completed a league double thanks to a screamer from Tom Cairney and a
brace from 16 year-old starlet Ryan Sessegnon.
