Pointless
after the opening three games and with hopes of progression over, Newcastle U21s
won their final National League group stage tie at Victoria Park on
Tuesday night.
The hosts included former Magpie reserve Luke Charman in their
line-up and he headed a left wing cross off the bar within three
minutes of the first whistle.
The lilac-clad visitors took a ninth minute lead when a long ball
forward reached Johnny Emerson on the right flank and his low centre
was turned home by Kyran Thompson.
17 year-old
Thompson saw his 21st minute shot turned away by Nathan Fisher for a
corner, before the hosts levelled five minutes later when Jack Nolan
headed Terry Bondo's cross in.
Robbie Stockdale's side regained the lead in fortunate circumstances
ten minutes before the interval; Thompson's left-footed effort from
outside the box taking a sizeable deflection off Reiss McNally and
then fumbled by Fisher.
The second half ended with no further scoring, Newcastle winning
their first game in this competition in six attempts.
Team: Dowell, Johnson, Charlton, Watts, Pivas, Bailey, Emerson (Seldon
64), M.Miley, Ca (Salia 77), Thompson (Fitzgerald 64), Ferreira (Kouossu

U21s :
Second string off to SJP
Newcastle U21s are set to make a welcome return to Gallowgate
this season, with this month's PL2 meeting with the mackems moved
from Whitley Park to SJP.
The date and kick-off time of that game remains as announced, on
Monday October 26th at 7pm.
Season ticket holders can gain access to the East Stand, with
advance tickets also on sale now.
This will be the first time that the Magpies second string have
played a competitive game at SJP since a 7-1 victory over Reading in
PL2 back in April 2025.
Premier League:
Lightning strikes twice
Coventry City
4
Newcastle 1
Another
bewilderingly bad performance from Newcastle
saw them deservedly on the wrong end of a 1-4 defeat every bit as
painful as last month's Monday night mauling at Leeds.
Seeking their first-ever Premier League home win at the CBS Arena,
Frank Lampard's side started positively and Lukas Hornicek's failure
to hold a shot saw him punished when
Sidiki Cherif exploited the contact and tumbled over.
Jack Rudoni netted the resultant penalty after just six minutes and
although the Magpies came to dominate the remainder of the half,
their attempts at finding an equaliser were in equal parts haphazard
and unconvincing.
That was epitomised by Matias Fernandez-Pardo, whose pace twice got
him into scoring positions - only for both efforts to be blocked
when goals looked inevitable.
Such was the collective poorness of United's first half display that
interval changes looked inevitable, only for an unchanged side to
return and promptly concede again.
Less than three minutes had elapsed when a throw-in from the
Coventry right was collected in the box by Cherif, who found the
time and freedom to open up a shooting chance and poke a low effort
home from the edge of the area.
That prompted the introduction of Amar Dedic, Bazoumana Toure and
Joelinton; the Brazilian's first appearance of the season seeing him
bring much-needed presence and bite within midfield - home players
visibly backing off him.
The goal that looked to have got the lilac-clad Magpies back in the
game came from the most unlikely of sources; Sven Botman's left boot
connecting with an unstoppable effort from distance with 20 minutes
of normal time left.
However no equaliser came and United's first-ever defeat at the CBS
Arena moved a stage closer in the 81st minute after Lewis Hall
failed to prevent substitute Tatsuhiro Sakamoto from wriggling past
him and heading into the box.
He was out-muscled by Joelinton, but an ill-advised escape route saw
him play himself into trouble, sending Cherif tumbling with a rash
intervention and the loose ball towards recently-arrived replacement
Ellis Simms, whose shot flicked in off Malick Thiaw.
Brandon Thomas-Assante then struck a post from distance before
Coventry's first top-flight home win since 2001 was sealed by
teenager Stephen Mfuni, who simply ran at the visiting defence and
swung his foot at the ball.
Conceding that goal saw Newcastle match their previous heaviest
top-flight loss to Coventry; equaling the infamous 1-4 Highfield
Road reverse in 1999 - when the Magpies were at least a man short
once they'd gone 0-2 behind.
As one long-suffering fan said at full time tonight, the knives
would be out for Eddie Howe after these two 1-4 losses.
Attempting to repeat the hard luck stories after the Elland Road
misadventure won't wash this time round. Jaissle's muddled Magpies
were humiliated here by a rather less talented Coventry outfit than
Leeds were. It doesn't bear thinking what damage a good team might
inflict on us.
The manner of this latest defeat - alongside unconvincing
displays in games that we won - raises further doubts as to
precisely what this Newcastle United is: lacking any truly memorable
characteristics or cohesive pattern of play.
There's a credibility issue those fans who struggle to match the
manager's stated philosophy with the reality of what once again
unfolded disastrously before their eyes here.
Talking a good fight is one thing, but failing to send out a side
that embodies that is something rather more alarming.
Far from the promised poise and pressing is an incoherent mess when
we're found continually wanting in composure and common sense. There
needs to be more to coaching and leadership than arm-waving and
smart suits.
As Coventry favourites The Specials once sang, "stop your messing
around...." More of this against Villa at Gallowgate this coming
Saturday will leave "the people getting angry."

Matthias Jaissle said:
"That's hard. That's
punishment in this league. We controlled many phases but it's not
enough.
"In the boxes the games are
decided. In both boxes we were not clean. It's something we need to
learn fast.
"The momentum was there. We have
a young squad but that shouldn't be an excuse. It was a tough game
in general.
"The injured players are
hopefully getting more game minutes. Today if you see the whole
picture it was not the worst game. I apologise to fans because they
deserved a different result.
"There were bits that were
good but in both boxes, to defend our own goal we need to improve
and also score goals. The opportunities were there, but the desire
and hunger to finish the attacks was missing.
"We're frustrated. The lads, as
well. It's a feeling you don't want to have on a Monday evening
after a match where you should win.
"We can only apologise to the
fans who came here, they deserve a different result. We need to
analyse it, clearly."
On the injury that forced
Bazoumana Toure off:
"Let's see. It's too early to say anything. Hopefully it's nothing
serious."

Newcastle U18s mastered both

afternoon in the Premier League Cup, scoring a goal in each half.
Midfielder Jack Skelton's individual run and powerful finish after
21 minutes divided the sides at the interval.
United then doubled their lead just after the hour when top scorer Alfie
Hutchison was hauled down in the box by Oliver Lukic; getting up to
net his seventh goal of the season.
With one game to play in their group - at home to Spurs next month -
the young Magpies sit in second place with four points. Victory over
Spurs would ensure top spot and qualification for the knockout

Update:
Harrison sighted
Scottish Premiership side Dundee have added
former Magpie Alfie Harrison to their squad after a
successful trial period.
The 20 year-old midfielder was a free agent following his release by
Newcastle and has signed a short term deal at Dens Park running
initially until January.
Harrison was an unused substitute on Saturday as Dundee won 2-1 at
Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership.
Other recent moves involving players released by United last summer
include midfielder Darren Palmer signing for Spennymoor Town
and goalkeeper Max Thompson joining Hartlepool United.
Update:

As part of the ongoing refurbishment programme, the
Tyne Bridge will be closed to all traffic* in both directions

Assuming that there's no change to
that, the bridge will re-open before Newcastle's Premier League home
game with Everton at 8pm on Mon 02.11.2026.
* there's also no pedestrian access during the closure.
Update:
Metro closure
Engineering work means that
there will be no Metro service in either direction between St
James and Monkseaton between Sat 24.10.2026 and

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 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.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above

On This Day in History |
|
14th October |
|
Born Or Died:
1974 Carlos Alejandro Sierra Fumero born,
Las Galletas, Spain. (1997)
Attacking midfielder who had a brief
trial at SJP while with Real Madrid, travelling to a reserve game at
Scarborough but then prevented from playing after a delay in receiving his
international clearance.
Sandro did appear for United in a friendly at Morpeth Town, but although he
scored twice, Kenny Dalglish opted not to pursue his interest in the player.
Later moves took him to Las Palmas, Malaga and Levante before a return to
Malaga, later becoming Technical Director.
1979 Olivier Jimmy Wilfrid Bernard born, Paris, France. (2000-05,
2006-07)
Olly arrived in September 2000 on a free transfer from
Olympique Lyonnais, signing a one year deal after Geordie scout Paul Montgomery
advised Bobby Robson to take the French youth international on trial.
However, things quickly went awry as Lyon refused to release
his registration, claiming that they were due a compensation fee for developing
him in their academy, even though he never played in their first team.
Bernard was technically a free agent when he joined United, having seen his
current Lyon deal expire. But with no resolution of the matter forthcoming
between the two clubs and arbitration looming, the player was only able to turn
out in friendly matches.
In one of those, a behind closed doors affair against Bolton Wanderers, Bernard
sustained a knee injury which sidelined him until December 2000, when his
return to fitness coincided with receipt of his registration.
A competitive debut came for the reserves against Liverpool at St. Helen's but
after a handful of other second string outings, United opted to loan Olly out
to Darlington, in order to gain more experience.
That seemed to wake him up and he returned with more focus, winning a new deal
and making his first team debut for United in the Intertoto Cup the following
season - also completing an English language course at the city's University.
Although preferring to play in midfield, the majority of Bernard's outings came at left back, including the memorable 2-2 draw away to Inter Milan
in the Champions League.
That was only possible though after a spat with West Ham in 2002, who claimed
that they had a pre-contract agreement in place with Bernard's agent, while
negotiations over a new deal at SJP continued - Newcastle adamant that they had
a one year option exercisable at their discretion.
Then-Hammers boss Glenn Roeder was forced to deny making an illegal approach, as the matter was referred to the Football League.
Newcastle's case was proved, but Bernard lodged an appeal - only for the
Magpies to announce that they'd signed the player to a new deal, as news broke
that the appeal had been dismissed.
2005 again saw contractual wrangles at SJP for Olly and this time there was to
be no resolution, as he signed for Southampton on a short-term deal.
That summer saw him train with Birmingham City and Bolton Wanderers without
agreeing a deal, before signing for Glasgow Rangers.
A year at Ibrox saw him fall from favour and undergo a physical change that saw
him look radically slimmer, but seemingly lose much of his pace and body
strength in the process.
12 months on and Bernard made a surprise return to Tyneside hours after the
August 2006 transfer window closed.
However, his lack of fitness meant that he never played a first team game and
the occasional reserve outing confirmed that something was terribly wrong - a
fact confirmed when he announced his retirement at the age of 27, due to an
arthritic hip.
2009 saw him back in the news, spotted playing for a 5-a-side team in a
Tyneside league and making the local papers with plans to open a coffee shop in
the city.
Managing a local Sunday team as part of his bid to gain coaching
qualifications, Olly also contributed to the Tyneside-based "Show
Racism The Red Card" initiative.
December 2013 saw Bernard confirmed as the new owner of Northern League
side Durham City, in addition to his local TV and media duties.
He also subsequently took over the Masons Arms pub in Blyth.
1997 Jack Hunter born, Newcastle.
(2014-18)
Midfielder who made his U18 bow for the Magpies as a substitute in a
2-1 home win over Bolton Wanderers in February 2014.
Jack made then debuted for the U21s from the bench in a 2-3 loss to West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns
during May 2015.
A regular reserve starter in the following two seasons, Jack failed to win a
contract and was released in June 2018, shortly after a trial at Barnsley.
He was soon back in football however, with National League Gateshead.
September 2019 saw Jack move on to fellow National League North side Blyth
Spartans, but within a year he was back at Gateshead.
Signing for Halifax Town on a free transfer in July 2022, he left The Shay
two years later to join Hartlepool United.

Division Two
P5, 3pts, 12th/15
Wallace(1-2)
Watson(8),
Logan(10), Daft(1-3)
3,000
Scottish outside
left John Inglis was brought into the side, but failed to
make an impact and was discarded after only three games.
After falling behind to two early goals, United got back
into the game before half-time through Joe Wallace only
to concede a Daft goal after the break.
1899 Manchester City
(a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P7, 9pts, 4th/18
Ross(85)
25,000
The Athletic correspondent at Hyde Road noted that
"Novocastrians were in force and after leaving their
canny town at half past eight the previous evening were
willing to pay anything for a good view of the game."
He continued, "their comments were not always
couched in language of the most delicate nature, but
still they were fair."
1901 Dundee (Scotland)
(a)
2-2 (1-0)
Friendly
Roberts(45,47)
Turnbull(1-2),McDiarmid(52)
2,000

McWilliam(4-0), McIntyre(5-0)

Newcastle were without Colin Veitch due to his participation in a Football League versus Irish

Belfast also missing two players for the same reason.
Team:
Crumley, McCracken, Carr, Gardner, McIntyre, McWilliam,
Rutherford, Howie, McClarence, Orr, Gosnell.
1911 sunderland (a)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
P8, 9pts, 8th/20
McCracken(43pen), Scott(87)
Holley(47)
20,000
What the Athletic News called, "a fast,
strenuous and exciting struggle" went the way of
the visitors thanks to a late winner.
United led just before half time, after Billy
Troughear's handball was punished with a penalty award
that Bill McCracken blasted past goalkeeper Walter
Scott.
The hosts levelled soon after the restart and a draw
loomed before Scott came off his line but misjudged a
cross and allowed Newcastle's Jack Scott to fire into
the unguarded net.
1911 A 0-1 home defeat by Manchester United at
Gigg Lane proved to be the final appearance of Billy
Hibbert for Bury, with confirmation post-match that he
was to join Newcastle for a club record fee.
1922 Burnley (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P10, 10pts, 10th/22
25,000

0-3 (0-1)
Division One
P10, 7pts, 20th/22
Birkett(42), Bowden(61), og(Fairhurst)(87)
40,000
While Newcastle extended
their winless run to seven games, the Gunners were already en route to
their second successive
First Division title (which would become a third the following
season).
There was a slow start to what would be an impressive United career
for debutant Tommy Pearson, while future Magpies Ray Bowden and
Ralph Birkett both netted for Arsenal.
1944 Middlesbrough (a)
8-2 (4-2)
Wartime
Carr(10,37,75), Milburn(13,85), Wayman(44,46) Gordon(60)

Milburn(29), Walker(36), Mitchell(75)
Lee(55)
54,793
The manner of United's win was poorly-received by the
visiting Derby Evening Telegraph reporter, who
claimed that
Jackie Milburn "was at least three yards
offside" when he scored the opener from George Robledo's pass.
 1959
All Star XI (h)
11-4 (5-1)
Friendly
Eastham(23,32,39), White(30,47,63), Mitchell(37,84),

McIlroy(80)
14,467
Testimonial match staged at SJP for long-serving
United trainer Norman Smith.
Old boy Ernie Taylor played for an All Stars side weakened
by several late withdrawals, alongside Newcastle boss
Charlie Mitten and future Magpie Billy Day, the latter a
Middlesbrough player at the time.
Also featuring for the visiting side was Roy Stephenson, a
product of United's "N's" nursery side a decade
earlier who failed to break into the Newcastle first team
but did appear for Burnley, Rotherham United, Blackburn
Rovers and Leicester City.
Team:
S.Mitchell, Whitehead, McMichael, Scoular, Stokoe, Bell,
Tait (Hughes), Hale, White, Eastham, R.Mitchell.
 1961

Jackson(1), Calder(82)
13,809
Despite going behind after just 40 seconds at Gigg
Lane, Newcastle recovered to score seven goals away from
home in a Division Two match for the very first time
(although they had twice done it during top flight away
fixtures).

Shorn of injured trio Bobby Moncur, Tony Green and
Malcolm Macdonald, United were beaten by the Potters.
1972 While elder

younger sibling Chris Guthrie netted for the reserves in a
2-1 Central League victory over Bolton Wanderers at Gallowgate.
Mickey Barker scored United's winner.

The first Tyne-wear derby meeting outside the top
flight since 1964 ended honours even, United donning blue
change shirts for the occasion.
Future Magpie Jeff Clarke gave away a free kick from
which Peter Withe headed home at the Roker End, before
Steve Hardwick's fumble allowed Roy Greenwood to sweep
home an equaliser.

 1989
Bradford City (h)
1-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P11, 20pts, 3rd/24
McGhee(90)
19,879
With just seconds left to play and Newcastle's 100%
home start looking at an end, Mark McGhee gained
possession of the ball just over halfway.
The striker embarked on a mazy run taking him past half of
the Bantams side before planting the ball past Paul
Tomlinson in the Leazes End goal. Sensational.

Gillespie(46,72), Ferdinand(56)
Dichio(45,68)
18,254
Future mackem plank Danny Dichio put the hosts ahead
on half time, only for Keith Gillespie to loop in a header
straight after the interval.
Sir Les then scored a cracker on his return to Loftus Road
- outpacing close friend Danny Maddix to blast an
unstoppable shot - before Dichio restored parity with
another header.
Gillespie hit the winner soon after; walking the ball home after R's goalkeeper
Juergen Sommer was left stranded by an over-hit back pass
from defender Karl Ready.
Kevin Keegan's side held on for their sixth successive
victory in all competitions and made it eight wins out of
nine in the league.
