Premier League:
Early blows tame Tigers
Newcastle
2 Hull City 1
Two goals in the opening seven minutes proved
just enough for Newcastle to end Hull's unbeaten top flight return at St. James' Park
on Saturday - although Matthias Jaissle's side were grateful on some
desperate defending in the end.
The Tigers arrived at Gallowgate having never lost there in three
previous Premier League visits and enjoying early season form that
suggested they would be a handful.
However, the blue-clad visitors had barely crossed the halfway line
before Joe Willock and Lewis Hall had taken passes from Harvey
Barnes to net at the Leazes End - a perfect antidote to events at
Elland Road on Monday.
United then survived a couple of self-inflicted scares caused
by over-playing towards their own goal, but when Sorba Thomas pulled
Jacob Murphy over just before half time to conceded a penalty kick,
a first Premier League home win in three attempts this season looked
inevitable.
Yoane Wissa's tentative effort from 12 yards was saved by goalkeeper
Konstantinos Tzolakis though and when the third goal of the game did
arrive midway through the second period, newly-arrived substitute
Mohamed-Ali Cho's effort gave Hull hope and ensured a nervous
finale.
For all their pressure however, Hull only rarely managed to hit the
target with their shots, desperate blocks and last-ditch defending
somehow keeping the visitors at bay.
That effort was exemplified by the contribution of Willock, who took
his goal well and led by example until replaced late on, by which
time he looked absolutely spent.
It might not have been pretty, but it was effective and the
post-match scenes of celebration from younger and more experienced
players alike showed some welcome unity.
They may not have been mauled by the Magpies for the greater part of
the game, but the Tigers leaving Tyneside pointless avoided the
inevitable post-mortem that would have extended through the
elongated international break.
A first start for Matias Fernandez-Pardo meanwhile didn't really
resolve what we've acquired: his major contributions coming when out
of possession and using his searing pace to chase down and harry
opponents.
More to follow

Crowd:
52,647 including a sold-out away
section.
That's the third record PL attendance in as many games at SJP
this season since capacity was increased: 52,630 here for Liverpool
and 52,643 present for Bournemouth.
Matthias Jaissle
said:
"Overall, I'm really satisfied. You see a couple of
challenges already from the outside, and you also know there is a
huge transition period at the moment in the club.
"And in these circumstances, we are really proud of what we
have seen so far from the lads, they are fully committed to the
journey.
"We showed an incredible reaction, especially after the defeat
at Leeds. The first half was excellent, we could have killed the
game with a third goal for sure.
"We were totally dominant and then in the second half you saw
the legs were getting tired towards the end - but we were also
missing nine players today.
"I am really proud and I want to show (players) respect
for what they did at the end of the game when it was tough.
"To defend their own box, everyone was committed and really fighting
for the three points. This is something we can count on.
"It was an intense game. We started
at a really high level, it was the right reaction to Leeds. But the
missed penalty changed momentum.
"We tired and we needed to suffer, but the commitment to win this
game was exceptional. It made me proud. It was something special.”
On withstanding pressure to claim victory:
"That's maybe somehow a trauma from the past that stuck. I hope we
can change that mindset. The players told me already these games
maybe would have ended in a different result.
"We tried to change this narrative, that belief also, and hopefully
you can feel that in the next weeks and months that if something
goes wrong, we are energised in a positive way and supporting.
"With a young squad, especially, this is really important."
On Mathias Fernandez-Pardo:
"I was really happy today with him. Maybe you saw
it differently from me. He did an amazing job - out of possession
especially he was stressing the opposition, the 'keeper.
"It gave us this confidence to get higher possession to win the
second balls earlier, not defending their own box.
"All these small margins again are effecting the team
performance. He did his job on a really high level.
"Also in possession he threatened the opposition even
though maybe you don't see it too often but with his movement and
speed he is causing the opposition many problems."
On the post-match on-field spat involving City boss Sergej
Jakirovic and home coach Alexander Hauser:
"I cannot say too much, but I think there were some comments over
the line, but this is sometimes football, I hope they shake their
hands afterwards and everything is good again.”
Sergej Jakirovic:
"I'm very proud of how we played, especially the second half.
"I'm aware that maybe we lost this game in the first half, in
the first ten minutes, because that was not our plan.
"Also with the eight points, I'm very happy, especially with
the opponents that we played, but also I want more, always more,
which is normal.
"It's about ambition, and like I said, we're looking forward
and I hope with some improvement that we can play even better."
On the the yellow cards for his staff:
"Their staff provoked Ollie McBurnie, and I’m there to protect
him. I have my team and I’m speaking with my players.
"If you saw, they're standing with three or four people there,
we're standing with three or four, but it's not that we are
complaining on the referee.
"We are trying to give some instructions to our players. I cannot
see everything, so I have my staff also, but to give just my staff a
yellow card without Newcastle bench for me, it's not fair.”
On post-match events:
"Nothing, what happened on the pitch, stay on the pitch. Some
disagreement, but this is normal."
Referee: Tony Harrington - the
Hartlepool whistler's last Newcastle fixture was the 1-3 Carabao Cup
semi-final second leg loss at Manchester City in February.
Harrington's most recent visit to SJP came for the 0-1
season-closing PL defeat by Everton during May 2025.
VAR: Peter Bankes
Stats:
Having gone 61 games between his 14th and 15th PL goals, Joe
Willock left it just four games between number 15 and 16 after
netting at home to Liverpool last month.
Willock's PL total of 16 takes him one ahead of Andy
Carroll, leaving him one shy of Yohan Cabaye and two behind team
mate Fabian Schar.
Lewis Hall
netted his third PL goal for the Magpies and first at SJP,
following one in a 2-3 loss at Old Trafford in May 2024 and one in a
1-2 defeat at the Etihad last February.
Today was the quickest that Newcastle have gone 2-0 in the PL
since they also scored twice in the opening seven minutes of play at
Burnley in December 2025.
The last time they did so quicker than that was at home to Spurs in
April 2023 when they struck twice in six minutes.
Yoane Wissa's penalty failure ended a run of ten PL spot kick
successes since Anthony Gordon was denied away at Everton back in
October 2024.
Tigers in Toon - all-time record:
2026/27 won 2-1 Willock, Hall

We had a couple to give away and asked
for your final score prediction against Hull City at SJP on Saturday.
There were 16 accurate offers of a 2-1 victory, with a
random draw of those correct entries required to find the winners.
They were Andrew Cryer and Richard Reay.
U18s:
Derby delight
mackem U18s 0 Newcastle U18s 3
Following last week's home loss to Manchester United, Newcastle U18s
returned to winning ways on Saturday,
deservedly taking three points at the academy of plight.
With first team and U21 matches also scheduled for the same day,
coach Chris Moore fielded a young side with a sprinkling of players
from the U16 age group starting.
Although dominating possession, United lived dangerously in front of
their own goal: visiting goalkeeper George Mair denying James Baker
in the 21st minute before Triziano Wilson blasted over when a cross
from the left wing fell at his feet five minutes later.
The red and whites were soon made to pay for that profligacy, Mair's forward
punt helped on by Alfie Hutchison to Charlie Robinson, who
confidently fired past the 'keeper on the half hour.
Just two minutes after the break the lead was doubled when defender Noah
Morgan's cross shot looped in off a defender inside the six yard
box.
Newcastle's third came seven minutes from the end when substitute Theo
Benjamin supplied a good finish and the margin of victory could
have been greater as the hosts were in danger being over-run on
several other occasions.
United stay second in the table behind a Manchester City who
extended their 100% start to the season with a sixth successive win
- scoring six goals without reply at Everton.
Team: Mair, Morgan (Conway 86), Gilligan, Evans,
Healy-Matthews (Benjamin 77), Bowness (Patterson 66), Skelton,
Boothe (Barber 66), Robinson, Callaghan (Afumuzor 86), Hutchison. Sub n/u: Holland.
Booked: Hutchison
There were U18 debuts for Lennon Barber and Isaac Conway, both from
the bench.
On an adjoining pitch meanwhile, the U16s defeated the mackems 2-0 -
making it a full house of wearside victories this week for the young
Magpies, following a 4-1 midweek success in the U17 Premier League Cup.
U21s:
LNER points failure
Leeds United U21s
2 Newcastle U21s
0
Following a 3-1 EFL Trophy success against York City on Tuesday, Newcastle
U21s made a less successful return to the LNER Stadium on Saturday.
A goal in each half gave tenants Leeds all three points and extended
Newcastle's winless start to the PL2 season - Robbie Stockdale's
side further weakened here due to several senior call-ups.
Josh McDonald's 18th minute shot divided the sides at the interval
before Freddie Lane's effort was deflected past Roman Dowell 12
minutes from the end of normal time.
Newcastle's best chances of getting on the scoresheet saw Scott
Bailey rattle the crossbar with a shot from distance before the
interval and Jonny Emerson follow suit with what was almost the last
kick of the second period.
Team:
Dowell, Moran (Emerson 46),
Charlton, Craggs, Watts, Bailey, Johnson, Alabi (F.Harper 46), Ca (Kouossu
72 , Ferreira (Wooster 89), Seldon (Fitzgerald 63).

Carabao Cup:
Thursday

Bradford City v Peterborough United
Fleetwood Town v Arsenal
Wed 28.10.2026:
Fulham v Crystal Palace
Bournemouth v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Chelsea
Manchester City v Brighton
mackems v Brentford
Thu 29.10.2026:
Everton v Newcastle
This will be only the second time that Newcastle and Everton have
met in the League Cup, sharing six goals at Gallowgate in a Third
Round tie during 2002 before the Toffees advanced in a penalty
shootout.
The draw means that the Toffees and Magpies will face each other at
least four times this season: Everton winning a pre-season kickabout
3-1 at Murrayfield in August.
Following the Carabao Cup and Premier League meetings in
October/November, United are then set to return to merseyside for
the second PL meeting next February.

Loan
lads:
The Borrowers
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
With the on-loan Magpie in goal, Seville became the latest side to
succumb to Barcelona, scoring first but going on to lose 1-3 at home
in La Liga.
Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
Diabate completed 62 minutes of a 0-4 loss at Istanbul Basaksehir in
the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday, going off when his team were
three behind.
Leo Shahar (Arouca):
Arouca shared four goals away to Sporting Lisbon in the Primeira Liga
on Saturday but Leo wasn't in the squad.
Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):
An afternoon to forget for ex-Bantam loanee Ashby on Saturday,
starting in a 0-1 home defeat by Bradford City in League One and
collecting a red card in second half added time after hoofing a
visting player.
Rory Finneran (Notts County):
A 90 minute shift for the midfielder on Saturday, but the other
Magpies lost 0-2 at Reading in League One.
Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
Munda played the entirety of Saturday's 0-1 loss away to Salford City
in League Two on the right hand side of a midfield three.
Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):
Saturday saw a single goal success for Kaiserslautern at home to Braunschweig
in Bundesliga 2, with Alex playing the full game at left wing back.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
The midfielder appeared from the bench after an hour at home to
Girona in the Segunda Division on Saturday, with his side trailing
1-2.
Occupying a right midfield slot rather than the more usual left,
there was no further scoring after Cordero's arrival.
Sean Neave (Wolves):
Sean came on for the final few minutes of the Black Country
derby at home to West Bromwich Albion with Wolves 1-0 up. And that's
how it ended in the Championship fixture on Sunday.
Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
Woltemade appeared from the bench in the 86th minute of Juve's
home 2-0 win over Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday.

Festive PL changes
Although the Premier League are yet to confirm live TV schedules for November
most of December,
the Christmas and new year fixture changes have now
appeared:
All four of Newcastle's PL fixtures are altered as follows:
Sat 26.12.2026 Manchester City (h) 8pm Sky
Wed 30.12.2026 Nottingham Forest (h) 7.30pm Sky
Sun 03.01.2027 Chelsea (a) 2pm Sky
Thu 07.01.2027 Manchester United (a) 8pm Sky
The scheduling of the Old Trafford visit appears to preclude the
staging of Newcastle's FA Cup Third Round tie 48 hours later, on Sat
09.01.2027.
Update:
Hall: United we stand
Newcastle confirm that Lewis Hall has put pen to paper on
a new five
year deal keeping him at Gallowgate until 2031.
The defender turned 22 earlier this week and has been a Magpie for
just over three years, following his arrival from Chelsea on an
initial loan with a purchase obligation.
Debuting in the 8-0 win at Sheffield United, Lewis ended the season
with 22 league and cup appearances and two goals - both scored
against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
A lifelong Magpies fan whose father was born on Tyneside, Hall's
progress prompted a first senior England cap against Greece in
Athens during November 2024.
An injury sustained against Liverpool four months later ended his
second season prematurely after 34 games and meant that he watched
his colleagues win the Carabao
Cup from home while recuperating from foot surgery.
Fit again for the 2025/26 campaign, Lewis swapped previous squad
number 20 for number 3 and ended the season with 46 appearances in
all competitions and another goal scored in Manchester - this time
away at Manchester City.
Despite multiple man of the match awards for his club however,
England boss Thomas Tuchel omitted Hall when making his selection
for the World Cup Finals.
Instead of that he enjoyed a close season break, while a host of
scurrilous rumours regarding an alleged dream move to Manchester
United polluted cyberspace.
Hall follows
colleagues Lewis Miley and Harvey Barnes by signing a new long-term
contract at the club.
There's nothing to stop any of that trio leaving of course, but it
does mean that the initiative regarding the timing, terms of sale
and price shifts to the Magpies - with no release clause in Hall's
deal (tbc about the other two).
Premier League:
Brighton (a) update
Confirmation of Newcastle's November Premier League schedule should appear
soon, but it's already clear that the visit
to Brighton will change regardless of TV meddling.
The Seagulls will be in UEFA Conference League action on the preceding
Thursday, meaning that our Amex game won't remain as listed on
Saturday November 28th.
The expectation is that we'll face Albion on Sunday 29th - although
the Monday night slot is theoretically possible, a full midweek
Premier League programme then follows.
Almost inevitably, the Brighton game coincides with yet another
weekend closure of London Kings Cross and rail replacement buses
from Peterborough to Bedford*
* LNER tickets aren't yet on sale for that weekend, but it's planned
to run two services direct from Newcastle to Bedford and back as
well as to and from Peterborough.
Whether they are of any use to Toon travellers though depends on
when the Brighton game is scheduled.
There's also engineering work between Three Bridges and Brighton on
Sunday November 29th. Thameslink advertise bus replacements, but an
hourly direct Southern service between London and Brighton shows on
journey planners.
PS: Before Brighton comes United's PL trip to Fulham on or around
Saturday November 7th. The date and time is still to be confirmed,
but with the November international break starting after, cannot
move to Monday 9th. Kings Cross trains that weekend have no
scheduled alterations.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours to determine success, 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.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
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

20th September |

Born Or Died:
1910 Joe Ford born, Edinburgh, Scotland.
(1931-34)
Diminutive forward who joined United from Scottish minnows Rosewell
Rosedale (now playing as Whitehill Welfare) in May 1931.
A regular scorer at reserve team level for the Magpies, Ford netted both goals
in a senior side friendly success against Hearts back in his native Edinburgh.
That was in September 1931 and the following January his chance came when
selected in place of fellow Scot Duncan Hutchison for a home game with Grimsby.
However, Ford sustained a double leg break in a collision with the Mariners
'keeper during the game and would never get another first team opportunity at
Gallowgate.
Returning to Scotland with Partick Thistle, Ford later played for Leith
Athletic, Gala and another Edinburgh side, Benford.
Serving in the Royal Navy during World War II, Joe worked in the brewing
industry and passed away in April 1951 - a victim of TB.
1927 William Ronald Anderson born, Ponteland.(1946-48)
Goalkeeper who joined United in October 1946 from Throckley Colliery, where he had worked
as a miner and turned out for their Welfare side.
Bill's sole senior outing as a Magpie came when deputising for Jack Fairbrother in
a 1-1 home draw with Leicester City in April 1947.
Going on to appear for Annfield Plain, he later lived in Peterlee. His death was
reported in 1995.

Division One

Roberts(8,3-0) Rutherford(52)
25,000
The Magpies made
it maximum points after three games of the season - and
were yet to concede a goal having scored nine.
That would all change a week later though, with a 1-6 loss
at West Bromwich Albion.
1913 West Bromwich
Albion (a)

Division One

obliged from the spot.
1919 Chelsea (h)
3-0 (2-0)
Division One
P6, 7pts, 10th/22
Dixon(6,2-0,55)

One week after

SJP thanks to the only hat-trick of striker Ed Dixon's
Tyneside career.
Chelsea's Bob Whittingham struck a post with his penalty
when the score was 2-0.
1922 Glasgow Rangers
(Scotland) (h)
4-1
(1-1)
Friendly
Harris(1-1,2-1,3-1), McDonald(4-1pen)
Smith(0-1)

A Wednesday
evening game at Gallowgate saw Neil Harris bag a treble
against a side he'd guested for some six years earlier.
Bill McCracken featured for United and "was
given a rousing welcome" by home fans following
his dismissal at Sheffield United the previous
Saturday.
 1924 Manchester City

1-3 (1-2)

Following a
successful senior debut in midweek, teenage goalkeeper
Ike Tate kept his place in the side for this visit to

pertinacity were conspicuous traits in the play of the
line generally."

Urwin(70)
P.Smith(71)
15,000
United handed a debut to outside right Jimmy Boyd at
Ninian Park and went ahead through Tommy Urwin.

straight from the restart before crossing for Smith to net
without a Newcastle player touching the ball.

the break when Stan Earle and Vic Watson both beat Albert
McInroy.
Jack Wilkinson's shot soon after the restart was deflected
into his own net by Billy Cox to restore the home side's
lead.
West Ham's hopes of a comeback were much reduced when
Watson limped off after 55 minutes, Wilkinson scoring a
fourth goal to wrap up victory for the Magpies.

Relegated Leeds had started life in the second tier in
good form, but were rapidly fading by the time of this
defeat.
Leeds including Con Martin in their line-up and he
reportedly collapsed in the team bath with an abdominal
problem. His son Mick later played for the black and
whites.
1948 A 5-1 victory
for the Football League against their Irish
counterparts at Anfield included a hat trick for
Newcastle's Jackie Milburn. Former SJP colleague
Len Shackleton also helped himself to one.

occasions.
 1980

Division Two
P7, 8pts, 9th/22
19,786
Having won at QPR a week earlier on his managerial
debut for the club, Arthur Cox was unable inspire his new
side to victory as he made a bow in the home dugout at
SJP.
This result followed a trio of 2-1 league wins and
Newcastle would also draw their next two games 0-0.

Gascoigne(55)

past Dave Beasant while the
rest of the Newcastle players appealed for a penalty
kick.
Gary Kelly made his debut in goal after first choice

Barnes(44)
25,884
Three days after the epic 3-2 home win over Barcelona,
a fine shot from John Barnes gave him his first Toon goal.
That was especially sweet for the veteran, who was booed
by home fans after choosing to join Newcastle some weeks
earlier, rather than become a Hammer.
For much of the afternoon though, visiting goalkeeper Shay
Given was all that stood between the home side an three
points
A wedding prevented one half of NUFC.com attending,
with the groom a big Hammers fan. Suffice to say that
regular updates from a pocket radio punctuated

Bobby Robson fielded his strongest XI at a soggy SJP, desperate to prevent a fourth successive home loss
and third blank score sheet.
The former was avoided but unfortunately the latter was
not, as a first Premiership victory eluded United yet
again.
Bobby Robson

2005
A Newcastle
Academy XI won 1-0 at Chester-le-Street's Moor Park home.
Staged ahead of the home side's FA Youth Cup tie against Farsley
Celtic, United helped the non-league youngsters gain
experience of playing under floodlights.
Ahead when Marc Walton profited from a
goalkeeping error to walk the ball into the net from close
range, Newcastle kept the hosts at bay for the rest of the game.

P5, 6pts, 10th/20
Kuyt(29), Alonso(79)
43,754
Goalkeeper Steve Harper's return to action proved to
be memorable for the wrong reason, after Xabi Alonso
thumped the ball over his head from 60 yards at The Kop
End.
Harper slipped as he back-pedalled to catch the long-range
missile and as he grasped at thin air, the ball sailed
past his left hand and over the line.
But it
wasn't just a tale of Alonso's spectacular strike, four
decent penalty claims were all denied by referee, Mark
Halsey - three of which were ours.
Halsey also missed Celestine Babayaro's assault on Dirk
Kuyt but video evidence later saw the FA charge the
Newcastle defender, who copped a three match ban.

Newcastle were second best against an ordinary
Hammers side that cruised into a 3-0 lead.
Both clubs were in some disarray, following manager
departures and takeover talk. Xisco kept his place for the
visitors, while this was a second and final outing
for Uruguayan loan midfielder Nacho Gonzalez.

2011
Newcastle's second string debuted at the B2net
Stadium of Chesterfield in an afternoon friendly,
impeccably timed to allow those fans daft enough to watch
it to attend en route to the City Ground.
The Spireites took advantage of an early penalty miss by
Sam Adjei and went ahead when goalkeeper Ole Soderberg
could only help a Scott Boden header into the net,
following a left wing cross.
United were level before half time, thanks to midfielder Yven Moyo.
It ended 1-1.

With Rob Elliot and Mehdi Abeid making their senior
debuts, a header from Fabricio Coloccini in the final seconds of added
time saw United scrape through.
It was the fourth and
final time that the Magpies had been in front in the tie,
having let Forest back into the game twice in normal time
and once in the extra half hour.
Thankfully though, penalties were avoided and
Steve McClaren's Championship side bowed out as Newcastle made it seven games unbeaten in all competitions.

United

cheers.
The striker came off the bench for his first appearance of
the season, but there was as much happening off the field
as on it.
Having departed for Hull on loan days earlier, Hatem Ben
Arfa watched from the stand while organised fan protests
against Alan Pardew continued.
A certain Steve Bruce occupied the visiting dugout,
while future Magpie Mo Diame scored the second Tigers
goal.
Home
players wore training tops in
