U21s:
Miller time
Newcastle U21s play twice this week, beginning tonight (Tuesday) when they
face Rotherham United at New York Stadium for their final EFL Trophy
group stage tie at 7pm.
Robbie Stockdale's side have three points from their first two games
following a 3-1 victory at York City and a 1-2 loss at Bradford
City.
They require a minimum of two points to seal what would be only
their second qualification for the knockout stage of the competition
that they have entered for ten seasons.
That can be
achieve by beating the Millers in 90 minutes, or drawing with them
and then collecting an extra point by triumphing in the penalty
shootout that would follow.
The tie is live on Sky

Premier League:
No trick, no treat
Newcastle 0 Everton 1
For the second time in five days,
Newcastle proved to be incapable of containing or damaging a
thoroughly average Everton side, as the mood on Tyneside worsened
further.
A barren opening half brought few chances and no goals; the home
defence reaching the interval intact after twice living dangerously
in time added on; Jake O'Brien heading wide and Harrison Armstrong
badly miscuing his shot.
That changed four minutes after the restart, when United were caught
sleeping from a free kick played in behind Anthony Elanga to the
unattended Tyrique George.
His routine shot was fumbled by Lukas Hornicek and touched into the
empty Leazes net by Thierno Barry - VAR confirming that the
goalscorer was onside and the contact he made with Fabian Schar that
drew blood wasn't illegal.
The reaction from the home side was negligible, as they seemed to be
under the illusion that possession in the opposition half was the
same as actually attacking.
Jordan Pickford's goal was finally threatened when a 65th minute
ball from the left hand side the box reached Elanga adjacent to the
back post, only for his shot to strike the goal frame and roll along
the line before being cleared.
Substitute Yoane Wissa was then denied in the final seconds of
normal time, Pickford sticking out his foot to block a shot from 12
yards, the chance created by Bazoumana Toure.
The only efforts on target by a home player during eight minutes of
added time came from the boot of Jacob Ramsey - although it was
Everton players rather than the ball that he kicked twice inside 90
seconds and rightly saw red.
The mediocrity of the opposition - and so far this season, the
league, adds to the frustration of watching a team who look
ill-equipped to carry out their master's bidding, with players
shoehorned into inappropriate positions.
The manager will get the flak, but the singular lack of football
intelligence shown by players isn't all at his door - seldom has a
team of alleged internationals looked so unconvincing and that's
just the ones he's picking; the recruitment policy that has brought
him such a lop-sided squad also has to come under scrutiny.
A lack of guile or variety makes us incredibly easy to play against
and outwit - dwindling belief in the stands stemming from a
succession of anonymous displays across the field and the absence of
a striker worthy of the description.
There's a lack of faith in Newcastle United 2.0 so far and we're
struggling to be optimistic that it will get any better. Nobody here has
enhanced their reputation this season.
That other teams are struggling is of no solace - tonight was a
tough watch, another joyless spectacle with no spark from the crowd
for the players or vice versa. Deeply troubling.

VAR: Paul Howard
Matthias Jaissle said:
"They
(players) have trained on a high level in the build-up, but when
the ref started the game you couldn’t see that.
"It
wasn’t the plan to shoot the long balls, it’s important to say that.
It was not good enough and it was not brave enough to penetrate the
last line.
"The goal came from an unforced
error that led to a free-kick, but to be honest we were just
sleeping. It’s so easy for them to take the quick free-kick and we
were surprised. On a good day of course, Lukas (Hornicek)
saves it.
"We have to stick together now,
we have to show unity. It’s the only way. When the goals aren’t
coming easily you lack confidence, it’s normal as a human being.
"We
saw during the week (the
quality is there) but we need to take it to the pitch. It’s clear
I have the responsibility to make it work as the manager of this
club.
"Long balls was not the plan. It's something we need to work
on. We lack confidence; to come out of that, we need to stick
together. We need to make a fast learning curve in the right
direction.
"I was aware of the
anger (from home fans). Big frustration, big disappointment
because we couldn't transfer what we saw in the week.
"The team was training at a high
level, but since the ref started the game, not much was seen. It's
difficult to understand. Of course the fans are frustrated, like we
are.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't deliver. Actually, over the whole 90
minutes, it was not our game and our style of playing.
"That is something we are very frustrated and disappointed about. If
you cannot deliver when it counts, then you don't deserve to win. We
were not brave enough in possession, too many long balls.
"The performance today, you didn't see our playing style and that
can't happen. It's not easy to explain as it looked so good during
the week (in training).
"The lads looked committed and the confidence was there. Today from
the start the confidence was missing. We need to improve really
fast."
On the ineffectiveness of William Osula:
"We could not bring him
into situations. We need to jump the first lines with clear balance
on how we want to play football.
"Just playing long balls is for sure not the sign he prefers and it
was not the plan; that is something you clearly need to mention.
"This is now the next step to clearly analyse it in-depth, and ask
why we could not start the game as we originally planned."

Update:
Teenage trialists claim
From TMT FC, The Gambia:
TMT FC is delighted
to announce that two of its promising talents, Omar Marong
and Alieu Saine have departed The Gambia for the United
Kingdom, where they will undergo trials with top Premier League
clubs.
Omar Marong, captain of The
Gambia's Baby Scorpions, and Alieu Saine, joint top scorer of the
team, were instrumental in the country's triumph as WAFU Zone A U17
Champions.
Various media outlets report that the 16 year-old duo - central
midfielder Marong and winger Saine - are to spend time training at
Newcastle's Academy.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Portuguese side Benfica and
Spaniards Celta Vigo have all been linked with Saine in recent
weeks.

United's youngsters proved to
be no more adept at beating the Toffees at Little Benton on Saturday
than their senior team colleagues had been on Merseyside last
Thursday.
The visitors made and missed four presentable chances during the
opening half hour, before the hosts shipped two goals within a
minute.
A succession of errors allowed striker Kai Hutchison to bear down on
goal and beat George Mair; Everton then doubling their lead from the
next attack as Freddie Murdock slid in to convert a pull back from
Amari Moses on the left flank.
The introduction of Ethan Ndiweni and Sam Alabi just before the hour
gave much-needed impetus to the home attack; the latter quickly
testing goalkeeper Seve Patrick.
It took until the 82nd minute for the black and whites to get on the
board; Ndiweni upended in the box by Patrick but referee Jamie Cann
allowing play to continue and Sammy Pinnington to finish into an
empty net.
United created a couple of half-chances as they sought to salvage a
barely-deserved point, only for the Toffees to seal victory in the
third minute of time added on, when Shea Pita fired decisively past
Mair from inside the area.
Team: Mair, Kyle-Matthews (Patterson 67), Skelton (Benjamin
90), Old, Yeutembip (Gilligan 46), Barber (Alabi 58), Pinnington,
Boothe, Hutchison, Ghanem, Callaghan (E.Ndiweni 58). Sub n/u:

Leeds (h) scheduling
Newcastle's Carabao Cup exit obviously means they won't play in the
final at Wembley on Sunday March 21st 2027 - and as Leeds United
were knocked out in an earlier round, the Premier League
meeting of the two sides at SJP can go ahead as scheduled that
weekend.
Internationals:

Another one for Antonio
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
A fifth goal of the season for the youngster put his side ahead
at Real Mallorca in Segunda Liga on Monday night.
Collecting a yellow vard, Cordero was replaced after 79 minutes with
score 1-1. Mallorca ran out 2-1 winners.
Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
A 5-0 home victory over Alanyaspor in the Turkish Super Liga on Monday
was achieved without our man - reason unknown.
Sean Neave (Wolves):
A 3-0 home win over Cardiff City in the Championship on Saturday
saw Sean remain unused on the bench.
Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):
Another 90 minute outing on Saturday, but Kaiserlautern were humbled
0-3 at home by Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga.2.
Rory Finneran (Notts County):
The midfielder started Saturday's 2-0 win at Mansfield Town in
League One, laying on his side's opening goal - scored by former
Magpie Callum Roberts.
Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):
The defender appeared from the bench for the closing six minutes
of Saturday's 2-0 win at Peterborough United in League One.
Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS):
The goalkeeper kept his place for Saturday's 3-1 victory at Ossett United
- a result that left Dunston top of the Northern Premier League East.
Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
Injury meant that Munda missed Town's 2-1 home win over Rotherham United
in League Two on Saturday.
Aidan Harris (Hebburn Town):
With Aidan in goal, it finished 1-1 at home to Harborough Town in
the National League North on Saturday.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
Defeat for Vlach and Seville on Sunday, going down 1-3 at Getafe in La Liga.
Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
The striker started at home to Napoli in Serie A on Sunday,
playing the entirety of a 2-0 win but extending his barren run in
that competition to eight games.
Leo Shahar (Arouca):
Another shift on the bench for the defender as Arouca defeated Nacional
1-0 in the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Fulham (a)
Following
victories at Spurs and Crystal Palace (and Millwall in the Carabao
Cup), Newcastle make their
fourth visit to the capital, facing Fulham this coming
Saturday.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm kick-off at Craven
cottage, with all
2,696
away section tickets are sold out.
The returns deadline to NUFC is Wednesday at 3pm and all transfers must be completed before
10am on Saturday.
Team: Jacob Ramsey is suspended.
FFC: Ryan Sessengnon returns following suspension.
Under the guidance of Spanish coach Alvaro Arbeloa, the Cottagers
have improved since their opening six matches brought just two
points from a possible 18.
They kick off against Newcastle unbeaten in three league games
during which they've conceded just one goal.
On home ground this season, Fulham have won just once - beating Hull
City 1-0. Chelsea and Crystal Palace both collected maximum points
and Manchester United drew.
Referee: Robert Jones - second Toon posting this season for
the merseyside whistler, following the 2-2 home draw with
Bournemouth in September.

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
that point division usually get two hours head start.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

Born Or Died:
1999 Kelland Watts born, Alnwick.
(2016-24)
With United's Academy from the age of
eight, Kelland made his U18 debut from the bench
during a 0-1 loss to the mackems in 2016.
That was in midfield but he ended up as something of a utility player also
featuring in defence and attack.
A first international call-up saw Watts represent
England U19s at the 2018 European Championship
Finals in Finland.
Debuting for the U23s at West Bromwich Albion that
August, Kell was an unused first team substitute in
the Premier League at Fulham in May 2019.
A senior team bow against Wolves at the Asia Trophy in
China came two months later before signing a three
year deal and joining League Two sides Stevenage and
Mansfield Town on half-season loans.
The COVID season break saw Watts back on Tyneside, a
temporary relaxing of the "three clubs in one
season" rule leading to a Premier League bow from
the bench in Newcastle's season closer at home to
Liverpool in July 2020.
A season-long loan to League One side Plymouth
Argyle was then agreed a few weeks later.
Playing for Newcastle in pre-season ahead of the
2021/22 season, Kell was belatedly cut from the
squad - a delay claimed to have torpedoed a pending
loan switch to a Championship club.
2022/23 was spent at League One
side - Wigan Athletic - where he helped them win the
League One title.
Returning to Newcastle's senior squad, a knee injury
sustained during pre-season in Austria sidelined
Kell, although he made a season-long loan switch to
Peterborough United in September while recuperating.
Following a further loan at Wigan, Watts was
released by Newcastle in May 2024, joining League
One Cambridge United.

What Else?
1894 Bury (a)
1-4 (1-3)
Division Two
Thompson(20)
Millar(29),
Ostler(1-2),
Lee(41,1-4)
3,115
The first-ever
game between the Shakers and the Magpies ended with the visitors roundly routed
at Gigg Lane.
After going ahead against the league leaders, United's Bobby Creilly was injured
after Bury levelled and forced off, reducing his side to ten men for 55 minutes.
1900 Preston North End
(a)
1-0 (0-0)
Division One
Laidlaw(57)
7,000
In what was described as "tropical weather" by one
correspondent, United won at Deepdale for the first time
in the league thanks to Jimmy Laidlaw's debut strike for
the club.
1906 Derby County (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
9,000
A depleted Newcastle side earned a point at The
Baseball Ground despite ending the game with just nine
men on the field.
Already without Jack Carr and Albert Gosnell, United
lost John Dodds to injury in the 38th
minute before Bill Appleyard limped off 15 minutes
from full time.
 1923 Manchester City
(a)
1-1 (1-1)
Division One
Mitchell(12)
Barnes(20pen)
27,652
Newcastle avoided what would have been their sixth
successive away defeat, but their first visit to the
recently-opened Maine Road was anything but memorable -
as the Athletic News correspondent confirmed:
"There were bright interludes, but they were few and far
between and never anything approaching sustained
excellence on either side. For the most part it was a
drab monotone of mediocrity."
1928 Huddersfield Town
(h)
4-1 (2-0)
Division One
Boyd(36), Gallacher(40,52), Lang(47)
Goodall(68pen)
38,620
Centre half Jack Hill was given the captaincy on his
home debut and his influence was noticeable, as United
ended a run of three successive league defeats.
1934 Barnsley (h)
4-1 (3-1)
Division Two
Boyd(19), Smith(30,50), Murray(43)
Ashton(44)
7,959
The first-ever league meeting of these two sides
went decisively in favour of Newcastle.
1945 Liverpool (a)
0-3 (0-2)
Wartime
Fagan(0-1,0-2,90)
33,818
United travelled to Anfield
without
future Liverpool
player Albert Stubbins, who was playing for an FA XI against a British Army
side in Dusseldorf.
He bagged a hat-trick, while Billy Fagan collected all
three goals against United on Merseyside.
1950 Newcastle Reserves were beaten 0-4 by Berwick Rangers Reserves in a
friendly staged at Shielfield Park.
All the goals came in the second half; through
Mountcastle (65,84), Paris (75) and Lindores (88).
Team: Lowery, Storey, Cook,
Campbell, Robinson, Jackson, Robinson, Sword, Tulip, Coulter, Prior.
 1951
Liverpool (h)
1-1 (0-0)
Division One
Foulkes(79)
Payne(83)
50,132
Billy Foulkes marked his home debut by heading in the 27th goal Newcastle had scored in eight home games that
season.
This was the first of just two games for Hugh Cameron,
who deputised for the injured Bobby Mitchell.
The visitors were without SJP old boy Albert Stubbins,
recovering from surgery on a leg injury in a Tyneside
hospital. A delegation of Anfield players and officials
visited him before the game.
1951 Newcastle reserves were in Central League
action at Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-2
thanks in part to a quick-fire brace from 17 year-old
debutant forward Alex Tait.
 1956
Leeds United (h)
2-3 (1-1)
Division One
Keeble(36, Davies(81)
McKenna(22,68),
Charles(74)
49,034
There was a memorable Leeds debut for Blaydon-born
Frank McKenna, who netted twice.
John Charles also scored for the visitors and
dominated the game, reports describing how he,
"coasted away with the touch of a master and stood
out as man of the match".
 1962
Chelsea (a)
2-4 (1-3)
Division Two
Suddick(37),
Fell(60)
Tambling(1), Bridges(2,82),
Murray(34)
34,428
Football magazine "Soccer Star" commented
that "United's singing supporters were reduced to a
dry-mouthed crackle" when Bobby Tambling opened the
scoring at Stamford Bridge after 35 seconds, closely followed by Barry
Bridges hitting a second.
A third followed through Albert Murray before Suddick got
one back, and Jimmy Fell scored direct from a corner.
Just when United looked to force a point, the home side
broke away again and Bridges claimed a second with nine
minutes left.
 1971
Coventry City (h)
5-1 (2-1)
(6-2 on aggregate)
Texaco Cup 2nd Round,
2nd Leg
Macdonald(11), Tudor(41,82), Nattrass(72),
og(Blockley)(80)
Blockley(32)
25,230
United ended a seven match losing run in all
competitions as recent signing Tony Green made an
eye-catching home bow.
City defender Jeff Blockley netted for the fourth
successive game against United, but later put through his
own goal.
 1973
Stoke City (h)
2-1 (1-0)
Division One
Gibb(35), McDermott(70)
Ritchie(53)
28,135
After scoring for the reserves the previous Saturday,
Rocky Hudson made his senior debut from the bench,
replacing fellow midfielder Terry McDermott.
Ex-Magpie George Eastham was at SJP - but only in his
role as the Potters' assistant boss, injury preventing him from playing.
 1979
Oldham Athletic (a)
0-1 (0-1)
Division Two
Clements(5)
11,486
Poor marking allowed Kenny Clements to head past Steve
Hardwick and the Latics held on for the win, with Peter Withe's header against the bar the closest United came to
an equaliser.
Meanwhile the reserves took a point from a home fixture
with Preston North End, John Connolly firing home from
close range in a 1-1 draw. He was one a number of senior
players involved, along with Terry Hibbitt, John Bird and
Tommy Cassidy.
 1981
Berwick Rangers (a) 3-2 (3-0)
Friendly
Wharton(21), Trewick(24,38)
McGlynchey(55pen,79pen)

Centenary
celebration for the Borders club at their Shielfield
ground, Kenny Wharton on target against the club he
would briefly appear for eight years later.
Team: Carr
(Hardwick), Brownlie (Hedworth), Saunders (Johnson),
Trewick, Carney, Haddock, Walker, Martin (Shoulder),
Varadi, Wharton, Waddle.
 1984
Luton Town (a)
2-2 (1-1)
Division One
Beardsley(14), Heard(79)
Parker(26), B.Stein(87)
10,009
Jack Charlton's Magpies made it ten league and cup games without defeat, but
were denied victory at Kenilworth Road after conceding a
late leveller.
Charlton blamed goalkeeper Kevin Carr, telling
reporters "He's causing himself
problems and he's causing the rest of the lads problems.
If he goes on like this he is going to force me into a
situation where I will have to go out and buy another
goalkeeper.
"We are giving away so many things at the near post
when he is involved, it is become
embarrassing."
 1990
Hull City (a)
1-2 (0-1)
Division Two
McGhee(80)
Jacobs(27), Swan(75)
8,375
A wretched day at Boothferry Park on and off the field, as a meek United
side made it ten games without victory, hoisting the white flag to a Tigers side
who had the worst defence in the division.
Away fans clashed with police meanwhile, following
bizarre attempts to move them to another terrace in mid-game.

 1996
Middlesbrough (h)
3-1 (1-0)
Premier League
Beardsley(40pen,69), Lee(74)
Beck(87)
36,577
Peter Beardsley indulged in a unique goal celebration after his
penalty conversion at the Gallowgate End - running to son Drew, a ball boy
behind that goal.
His fellow Geordies were less happy; Lee Clark submitting a transfer
request, an injured Alan Shearer watching from the sidelines and smoggies boss
Bryan Robson labelling David Ginola a diving cheat. As if.

2001 Those hardy fans watching United's U17s at Bullocksteads were
rewarded with a 5-1 trouncing of Coventry City.
Although the Sky Blues took an early lead, striker
Lewis Guy hit a nine minute treble en route to scoring all five home goals.
 2001
Aston Villa (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Premiership
Bellamy(37,82), Shearer(50)
51,057
Alan Shearer's 97th strike in a black and white shirt was one of his very
best, crashing a swerving volley past Peter Schmeichel from the right edge of
the box at the Gallowgate End.
Craig Bellamy's brace wasn't bad either, with the Welsh forward supplying a
stunning volley to open the scoring against John Gregory's side. He then rounded
things off nicely by outpacing the Villa defence and threading the ball through
the advancing Schmeichel's legs.
Olivier Bernard made his first team debut as a late substitute for
Laurent Robert.

 2007
Portsmouth (h)
1-4 (1-3)
Premiership
og(Campbell)(16)
Pamarot(8),
Mwaruwari(9), Utaka(11), Kranjcar(71)
51,490
One corker and two gifts was how we summed up the trio of goals Pompey
scored in a 197 second period during the first half.
As part of a Premier League initiative aimed at improving understanding of
disability, Claudio Cacapa spent the day before the game
blindfolded - unfortunately he still seemed to be similarly attired as he failed
to prevent the visitors' second and third strikes....
Michael Owen's shot was deflected in by future Magpie Sol Campbell to reduce the arrears, but
United failed to build on that and a Steven Taylor rick for
Pompey's fourth cemented their first victory on Tyneside since 1949.

 2008 Aston Villa (h)
2-0 (0-0)
Premier League
Martins(60,83)
44,567
Obafemi Martins
capped a fine individual and team performance with the goals that put United up
to the dizzy heights of 14th.
JFK's side had started the game bottom of the
league but three vital points against the Premier League's form team took us
above the mackems on goal difference.
A claim of racial abuse by Joey Barton directed at Gabriel Agbonlahor emerged
after full time, but no formal complaint was made to the FA.

2009 In an attempt to quell the anger about the renaming of St. James'
Park, Managing Director Derek Llambias said:
"We are just
basically looking to explore and maximise our revenues. We have a great
opportunity at the moment because our sponsorships are coming to an end - a kit
sponsor, shirt sponsor and then we have stadium rights sponsor.
"Our intention is to put a package
together that would include, for instance for the stadium rights, a jumbo screen
included in that sponsorship which is great for the fans as well."
That eventually translated itself into a deal with Wonga - although their
adverts jostled for space within SJP with Sports Direct, who paid a pittance for
their many spots. Maximising revenues?
2012 Newcastle reserves shipped six goals without reply to Spurs at their
Enfield base. Future Magpie Andros Townsend appeared for the home side.

2014 A reserve romp for United at SJP; Aston Villa on the
wrong end of five goals, scored by Adam Armstrong (2), Callum Roberts, Haris Vuckic
and Dan Barlaser.

Premier League
Perez(65)
49,157
A
first Premier League win of the season arrived at the eleventh time of
asking: Ayoze Perez glancing Ki's free-kick
home.
Three precious points dragged United two places up to 17th, despite having to make three enforced substitutions following a trio of
on-field injuries.

2021 Following the collapse of talks with managerial target, Unai Emery,
United reportedly looked to other candidates - former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe one
of those heavily linked.
2023
United's PL2 game
against Leicester City at their Seagrave training ground was abandoned
after 29 minutes of play due
to a medical emergency.
The score then was 2-2, City
quickly two up before a quick-fire Dylan Stephenson brace put Newcastle level.
A member of the Foxes
medical team then took ill and the game was called off. He
was thankfully given the all-clear later that evening. The full game was later
restaged - and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Team: Brown,
Wiggett, Scott, Savage, Heffernan, Carlyon, Crossley, De
Bolle, Stephenson, Huntley, Emerson. Subs n/u:
C.Thompson, Harris, McArthur, Stanton, M.Ndiweni.
