City's three season sojourn in the
Premier League is still under threat - although a second successive win at SJP
would strengthen their hand considerably.
And were that to happen, then Alan Pardew would acquire another unwanted
record for his expanding collection; namely that of the first United
manager to lose five successive Premier League fixtures.
At
present he shares the four defeat total with Kenny Dalglish (1997/98), Graeme
Souness (2004/05) & Kevin Keegan (2007/08) and himself (2012/13). That
most recent one - in November 2012 - saw the fourth loss racked up at Stoke following defeat at
Southampton and ended with a 3-0 home victory over Wigan.
(We also lost four on the bounce in both 2007/08 & 2008/09 seasons under
multiple "managers").
United last lost five league games in succession during March and April 1992,
when Kevin Keegan's attempts to stave off relegation to the third tier
faltered - only for that 1-0 home win over Pompey to end the sequence.
And in terms of top flight seasons, 1986/87 saw us reel off six First Division
defeats in a row around the festive season under the guidance of Willie McFaul.
 This
is the end, my friend.... well sort of.
The final-ever edition of The Mag will be on sale from street
sellers around SJP on Saturday, as well as from local newsagents.
After 25 years, commercial pressures mean that issue 289 will be the last
paper copy and the fanzine is continuing online only.
The final issue is also on sale here for
just £3 with
free postage in the UK.
Squad:
Loic Remy and Mathieu Debuchy are on course to return, but Moussa Sissoko
is still out. Having been seen catching a flight out of Newcastle on Thursday,
Hatem Ben Arfa won't be involved - officially due to an injury.
Steven Taylor is expected to be OK after leaving the field
against Stoke but a hamstring problem is predicted to sideline Davide Santon for the remainder of the
season.
News on the fitness of Sammy Ameobi, Gabriel
Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux is awaited.

SCFC: The
Jacks will come to Gallowgate minus Chico Flores, who is suspended following
his red card during Sunday's 0-1 home defeat by Chelsea. Striker Michu
meanwhile continues to struggle with an ankle problem.
Visiting boss Garry Monk goes looking for the first away win - and clean sheet
- of his managerial career so far, having taken just two points from a
possible 15, as a result of drawing at Stoke and Arsenal.
Beaten at Liverpool, Everton and Hull under Monk, their trio of away wins came
in the first half of the season under previous Michael Laudrup - at West
Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and Fulham.
On the road this season, City have scored as many as Newcastle (26) but
conceded three fewer (16 vs 19).
Referee:
Chris Foy - fourth appointment this season involving Newcastle,
following a 1-0 home win over Fulham, 1-0 win at Spurs and 0-0 draw at Norwich.

Stats:
The Magpies go
into this game without a goal in their last 360 minutes of play - and
just one in in 540 minutes of the artless slop that passes for football
round our way.
And the sad truth of our form in 2014 is that in seven games we've scored just
twice
at home - and the mackems managed three in their single visit to
SJP.
With two
home games to play, United have managed to score just 19 times in the
Premier League at SJP to date - with five of them in one game, against Stoke
City.
Just 8 of the 19 have come in the first half of games, while the
"end" split is 16/3 in favour of the Gallowgate, with Leazes End
spectators seeing just Yohan Cabaye's shot against Liverpool, a Yoan Gouffran
back header against West Brom and Loic Remy's Boxing Day opener against the
Potters - seven home games ago.
Our lowest seasonal total in the Premier League to date is 22 (reached in
1997/98 and 2006/07), while last season and the 2008/09 relegation campaign saw
24 netted.

Non-League
#1:
'Heed
remain
in the frame
A 2-2 draw
against Southport in front of a crowd of 2,121 at the International Stadium
on Friday made it ten games without defeat for Conference side Gateshead.
The Tynesiders remain fifth in the table and occupy the final playoff position,
but a 1-0 home victory by their nearest rivals Braintree leaves the pressure
firmly on, ahead of their final two scheduled fixtures.
Remaining GFC fixtures:
Mon 21.04.2014 Macclesfield Town (a) (3pm)
Sat 26.04.2014 Cambridge United (h) (5.30pm)
Sides finishing second to fifth will meet in two-legged semi-finals staged on
Wed 30.04.2014 /Thu 01.05.2014 and Sun 04.05.2014. That will then decide
the two sides who play at Wembley on Sunday May 18th to decide which club
joins champions Luton Town in going up.
Non-League #2:
At
the Hop
Aside from the latest episode of
torture at SJP, there's a wealth of football action across the region this
weekend - including another Northern League groundhopper event.
For the uninitiated, part of the Northern League's 125th anniversary
celebrations has seen staggered kickoffs at various games, allowing fans to
watch two...or more.
The last - and maddest - of these events is the Easter Hop and although the
organised travel is all booked out, there's nothing to stop anyone turning
up and paying on the gate (around £4-£6 per game).
Good Friday:
North Shields 3-0 West Allotment Celtic
Whitley Bay 2-1 Newcastle Benfield
Ashington v Crook Town 6:30pm (D1)
Easter Saturday:
Jarrow Roofing BCA v Heaton Stannington 11am (D2)
Washington v Seaham Red Star 2:15pm (D2)
Birtley Town v Chester-le-Street 6pm (D2)
Easter Sunday:
Consett v Durham City Noon (D1)
Ryton & Crawcrook Albion v Whickham 3pm (D2)
Easter Monday:

Spennymoor Town v Team Northumbria 3pm (D1)
Newton Aycliffe v Shildon 6pm (D1)

and other information is here
Strike threat:
Capital
woes predicted
Our
season may have gone down the tubes....but it remains to be seen whether Toon
fans will be able to follow suit after our forthcoming game at Arsenal.
That's because the RMT trade union have now announced a two day strike
by London Underground staff, beginning on Monday April 28th at 9pm -
midway through United's Premier League visit to the Emirates Stadium.
A recent strike call was ultimately called off, while a reduced service
continued on some lines during previous industrial action. If this strike does
go ahead however, beware that parts of the network usually begin to close down
ahead of the actual declared start time - meaning that journeys to the stadium
may well be affected.
Compo:
Alan
Shearer giveaway
Former
Magpie Alan Shearer is the special guest at a talk-in event in South
Shields next month - and we have a pair of tickets up for grabs in a

VIP places - the latter including lunch - and The Stroke Association stand to

Senior
Cup:
Spartans
at the double
Northern Premier League side Blyth
Spartans face the task of playing on successive days next week, having
failed in an attempt to get one of the games altered.
Closing their home programme with the visit of Whitby Town to Croft Park for a
3pm start on Easter Monday, Blyth are then in action the following
night in the Techflow Group Northumberland
Senior Cup Final.
Their opponents at Gallowgate in a 7pm KO on Tuesday are Newcastle
Reserves and the final will be played
to a finish - via extra time and penalties if required.
Admission can be gained by paying at the East Stand turnstiles - £6 adults,
£3 concessions. NB: NUFC season ticket holders and members do not receive free
entry.
Since lifting the trophy after beating Blue Star in 1994, Spartans have lost
nine times in the final - six of them against Newcastle - the most recent
coming in 2011.

scores again
Trailing 0-1
after the first leg in Crete, a 3-0 home win by Panathinaikos on Wednesday was
enough to see off OFI and ensure a place in this season's Greek Cup Final.
The Athens side took just 20 minutes of the second leg to cancel out OFI's
lead, with on-loan Magpie Mehdi Abeid bagging his eight goal in all
competitions for the Greens.
Watch
Mehdi's goal online here
Mehdi and his current team mates will now face PAOK in the final at the
Olympic Stadium in Athens on Saturday week (April 26th).
And although their hopes of winning the league title are long since over,
third-place Panathinaikos are already assured of a place in the end of season
playoffs, where the second Champions League spot is decided from the teams
finishing second, third, fourth and fifth.

After recovering from a hip problem sustained during his senior international
debut for Australia, Curtis is due to resume training on Tayside next week and
could be in contention for a squad place when Motherwell visit Tannadice in
the SPFL on Saturday week (April 26th).
There's the prospect of another cup final appearance to add to the defender's CV,
following an outing for Bradford City against Swansea City in
the 2013 League Cup Final.
The Tangerines will face St.Johnstone in
the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday May 17th, staged this season at Celtic Park due to
rebuilding work at Hampden Park.
Internationals:
Another
cap for Alex
Fresh from
scoring twice in United's U18 league victory over Chelsea on Saturday, Toon midfielder
Alex Gilliead won his second England U18 cap on Wednesday night.
Alex started for the young Lions in a friendly against Germany at Rotherham
United's New York Stadium and although his side were trailing 0-1 when he was
replaced after 66 minutes, England eventually ran out 2-1 victors.
U18s:
Tom
topples Tees teens
Newcastle U18s 3 Middlesbrough U18s 2
A
second half brace from striker Tom Heardman took him into double figures for
the season on Tuesday, as United edged a well-contested Tyne-tees derby
fixture.
Having beaten Chelsea 3-2 at Little Benton on Saturday, Dave Watson's
youngsters went into this rearranged game looking for a fifth successive win
on their own ground - and an eighth home victory in nine outings this year.
And they got off to a decent start when a low shot from Ben
Drennan from the edge of the box seemed to catch out visiting goalkeeper
Joe Fryer after 18 minutes.
Boro almost hit back from the kickoff as striker Jordan Jowers exploited some
confusion in the United area and shot against the goal frame from a narrow
angle.
The equaliser wasn't long in arriving though and when Jowers was challenged in
the box by Ryan McKinnon midway through the first half, referee James Simpson
pointed to the spot - and Joe Wheatley converted.
In glorious conditions, Newcastle regained the lead barely two minutes into
the second half when Tom Heardman netted from 18 yards - Fryer again
less than impressive.
Ten minutes later Heardman struck again, after substitute Liam Gibson wormed
his way to the byline and pulled the ball across the six yard box for the 18
year-old striker to force past Fryer and a couple of covering defenders.
That never looked likely to be the end of the scoring though and Boro reduced
the arrears on 67 minutes, Lee Hetherington beating Freddie Woodman from close
in.
A Boro equaliser seemed inevitable as the visitors began to dominate
possession, but some poor shooting and an instinctive stop from Woodman in the
final seconds of normal time ensured that United held on for the win.
There were first starts at this level for Jack Hunter and Luke Charman, while
Macaulay Gillesphey made his comeback following ankle ligament problems.
Team: Woodman, Newberry, Cameron, Hunter, McKinnon, Gillesphey,
Kerridge, Drennan (Gibson
50), Heardman, Charman, Laidler.
Subs n/u: Woolston, Tatters, Trodd, Suddick.

Kick-off times have now been confirmed for the Schalke 04 tournament
involving United in August as follows:
Sat Aug 2nd 3pm CET and 5pm CET
Sun Aug 3rd 3pm CET and 5pm CET
NB: On the basis that any drawn game in the tournament proceeds to a
penalty shootout after 90 minutes, that second kick-off time may be pushed back
slightly.
(CET is one hour ahead of UK time)
The Bundesliga club have now placed tickets on public sale to all fans without any
specific segregation details, but confirmation is awaited as to whether NUFC
will receive an allocation to sell direct to their fans.
PS: to all those asking, we have no information as yet whether other
NUFC pre-season games will be scheduled in or around Germany before or
after this tournament.
Wed 18.06.2014 Premier
League fixtures published.
Sat 16.08.2014 Premier League opening fixtures.
In addition to the Bundesliga hosts and ourselves, West Ham and Spanish Primera Division
side Malaga are also now confirmed for the tournament in the German city of Gelsenkirchen (a twin town of Newcastle
since 1948).
The games will be in stark contrast to United's last two games on German soil
in 2012, low-key friendlies against third tier outfit Chemnitzer and AS Monaco
- the latter played on a neutral field in deepest Bavaria....
Opened in 2001 as a replacement for the Parkstadion that hosted games
in the 1974 World Cup, the Veltins Arena (originally christened the Arena
AufSchalke) has a capacity of almost 62,000 for domestic fixtures - which
reduces to
54,000 when rail seats at one end allowing fans to stand are locked into their down
position.
Boasting a retractable roof, the Arena staged the 2004 Champions League Final
and five matches in the 2006 World Cup Finals, including England's defeat on
penalties by a Portugal side featuring old boy Hugo Viana.
United's last meeting with Schalke 04 came back in May 1960 when Charlie
Mitten's side won 3-0 in Germany during a post-season tour
that also saw kickabouts played in Ireland, Yugoslavia and Spain.
The only notable player link between the clubs came in 2009, when Peter
Lovenkrands moved "on a free from Germany" to SJP after his
Schalke deal was cancelled.
PS: There's an interesting article about Schalke, Lovenkrands, Freddy
Shepherd & NUFC online

History
maker Harps
Despite
conceding three goals, former Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper enjoyed
a successful day at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, as his Hull City side beat
Sheffield United 5-3 in their FA Cup Semi Final.
The Tigers will make their first-ever appearance in the FA Cup Final on
Saturday May 17th against Arsenal - a serious kidney injury sustained by
first-choice custodian Allan McGregor giving Harper an unexpected second chance
of glory in this competition, following his losing experience with the Magpies
in the 1999 Final.
Sunday also brought a sniff of cup glory for another ex Toon 'keeper, with Tommy
Wright overseeing the first Scottish Cup semi-final success that his
St.Johnstone side have enjoyed in their history.
The Perth side will face a Dundee United side including fellow SJP old boy
Darren Jackson on their coaching staff in the final at Celtic Park on Saturday
May 17th.
2014/15:
Kiwi claims
emerge
Reports emanating from New Zealand
in recent days suggest that Newcastle are among a handful of Premier League
sides under consideration to participate in a pre-season tournament later this
year.
Ourselves, Everton and West Ham have all been linked with a proposed series of
games involving Wellington Phoenix (who actually play in Australia's A League)
at their 34,500 Westpac stadium.
The option of Auckland's 25,000 North Harbour Stadium hosting games has also
been mooted, but like previous reports of United heading to South Africa, the
club haven't given any hint that future plans for friendlies involve them going
further than mainland Europe.
United have previously visited New Zealand, playing a series of four matches
against the national side in May 1985 in Christchurch, Wellington, Napier and
Auckland.

2,800 tbc.
Guidance from LFC:
Included in the
allocation are a number of tickets marked 'restricted view' and 'severely
restricted view'.
Seats classed as
restricted view on Row 1 is due to personnel movement. Seats classed as
restricted view on other rows is due to stanchions supporting the Upper Tier,
which impair the view of either goal.
Any seats classed as
severely restricted view is due to supporters standing up and down and, in the
event of this happening during the game, the supporters on Rows 34 and 35 have a
very limited view of the goals due to overhang of the upper tier roof.
In purchasing a
'restricted view' or 'severely restricted view' ticket, you are accepting this
view and there can be no ticket exchanges or refunds under any circumstances.

On This Day in History |

18th April |

Born Or Died:
1984
Death of Stan Barber, 75.
(1925-28)
1987 Danny Guthrie born, Shrewsbury.
(2008-12)
Midfielder who began his
playing career as a youngster at Manchester United's Academy, before switching
to Liverpool when 16.
His senior debut was as substitute for the Reds in a 4-3 home win over Reading in
the League Cup in October 2006, with a first outing in the Premier League a
month later.
February 2007 saw Danny appear off the bench in a 2-1 loss to United at SJP - his seventh and final
senior game for Liverpool.
Guthrie then moved to Southampton on loan for a 12 game stint which ended when the Saints were eliminated in the Championship playoff
semi-finals by Derby County.
The following season saw him loaned out to Bolton, with his 35 appearances for
the Trotters including a first career goal, away to Fulham in the League Cup on
his debut.
Guthrie was part of the Bolton side who achieved a 0-0 draw on Tyneside in
January 2008, slightly
spoiling Kevin Keegan's return as Newcastle manager.
Returning to Anfield, Guthrie agreed to join Newcastle in July 2008 at a
claimed cost of £2.5m, signing a four year deal.
A first outing came in pre-season against Hartlepool,
when Danny arrived as a half time substitute and created a goal for Damien Duff
before netting himself, just eight minutes after taking to the field.
Marking a scoring home debut against PSV Eindhoven, Guthrie then debuted alongside fellow new boys Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez
in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
However, his first setback as a Magpie came in the infamous Hull City home game that
was accompanied by fan protest both inside and outside SJP following KK's
departure.
Guthrie was deservedly dismissed in the final minute after a terrible lunge on Craig
Fagan that left the Tigers player with a broken leg.
Returning to a side by then "managed" by Joe Kinnear, Guthrie featured in
a 2-2 draw at Everton and scored in successive away games at Pompey and Wigan.
An injury at Blackburn in January 2009 put him out for three months, with a
first team comeback in the home game against Chelsea coinciding with the
installation of Alan Shearer as Newcastle manager.
The 2009/10 Championship season was a good one for Danny and his displays were
instrumental in returning United to the Premier League at the first time of
asking - especially when occupying his favoured central role, rather than on the right wing.
Back in the top-flight though, a knee injury meant that Guthrie's first
competitive game of the season didn't come until October.
A crucial error in the West Bromwich Albion
defeat in December 2010 cost a goal and triggered Chris
Hughton's exit, with Alan Pardew taking seven games to pick Danny for the 1-1 draw at the mackems.
Amid talk of a loan move to Nottingham
Forest, hamstring problems again sidelined Guthrie, before a
recall came when deputising for the suspended
Cheick Tiote.
That pattern continued in 2011/12 but with Tiote injured and on African
Nations Cup duties, Guthrie played 19 times, scoring a belter at Fulham and
also notching at Blackburn Rovers in a League Cup tie.
Making his final United appearance in the 2-0 home win over Liverpool in April
2012, Guthrie became a free agent soon after, hitting the headlines with a
wedding at Allerton Castle in Yorkshire attended by family, friends and the local
constabulary.
Joining Reading on a three-year deal ahead of the 2012/13 season, he soon came
into conflict with boss Brian McDermott and was dropped and fined at one point.
The arrival of Nigel Adkins saw Guthrie back in the side but results hardly
improved for the Royals, with demotion back to the Championship following.
Four goals and over 30 league appearances has seen Danny help Reading into a
playoff place with four games still remaining this season.

through injury on 35 minutes.
John
Anderson was then forced off after a scything tackle from Norman Whiteside,
Peter Jackson soon exacting revenge and prompting a
scuffle for which Keith Hackett booked him.
With Liam O'Brien in the visiting lineup, the Red Devils
levelled thanks to a long range thumper from Gordon
Strachan, only for Paul Goddard to fire past Gary Walsh at
the Gallowgate End - leveling a club record by netting in
his seventh successive game.

 1988
Prolific striker John
Robertson joined United from Hearts in a £750k deal.
However he had to wait until the following season to make his debut,
as our remaining matches affected issues at both ends of
the table.
1990 After many
months of disagreement, fan boycotts and newspaper
editorials, John Hall was co-opted onto the Newcastle
board, by a clearly reluctant Gordon McKeag and his
dwindling band of supportive shareholders.

0-1 (0-0)
Division Two
Allen
23,821
Midfielder Peter Garland made his debut following a
£35K move from Spurs, on a day when future Magpie Malcolm
Allen netted to deepen our plight at the wrong end of
Division Two.
 1998
Manchester United (a) 1-1 (1-1)
Premier League
Andersson(11)
Beckham(38)
55,194
David Beckham equalised an early Andreas Andersson opener, but
the visitors should
have claimed a second Old Trafford win within
weeks, to accompany their FA Cup semi-final success
against Sheffield United.
Solskjaer
was dismissed for hacking down
Robert Lee, who was clean through on goal. However, the
draw was certainly a moral victory and effectively robbed
Fergie & Co. of the title,
as Arsenal romped to victory over Wimbledon to take a
decisive advantage.
Andersson scoring at Old Trafford?
We couldn't believe it either...
 2004
Aston Villa (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Premiership
O'Brien(10 - professional
foul)
40,786
Despite being a man short for 80 minutes, United hung
on for a point against a Villa side managed by the odious
David O'Bleary and including ex-Magpie Nobby Solano
and future Souness recruit Ronny Johnsen.
NUFC.com
match report
2010 Preparations for Newcastle's possible
Championship title-clinching game away to Plymouth were thrown into
confusion, as UK flights were grounded due to the Icelandic
volcanic ash cloud.
A 410 mile coach journey would hardly be the ideal
preparation for a game United just needed to draw.
