Newcastle return to Premier League
action
on Monday night when they visit
Elland Road - a venue where they are unbeaten in each of their last three
visits.
After the weekend's results the Magpies know that victory will take
them up to third in the table.
It's an 8pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports and all
2,960 away section tickets were sold. The usual ticket transfer
window applies and closes at 3pm on Monday.
The Magpies are unbeaten in their opening five league and cup games,
emulating season starts in both 2022/23 and 2024/25. However, they
haven't improved on that since the 2011/12 campaign, when they went
11 without loss.
Team: William Osula and Dan Burn remain out but Joelinton and
Ewen Jaouen may return. Amar Dedic is doubtful.

LUFC: Joe Rodon remains out.
So far this season in the Premier League, Daniel Farke's side have
won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest, drawn 1-1 at home to Brentford and
repeated that latter scoreline at Brighton.
Leeds visited Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, racking
up a 2-0 lead before conceding six times in less than 40 minutes to
lose 3-6. First choice custodian James Trafford spent
the night on the bench.
Referee: Michael Salisbury - the Lancastrian whistler's most
recent Newcastle posting was for the epic 4-3 home win over Leeds
back in January.
VAR: John Brooks

Premier League:
Festive PL changes
Despite the fact that the Premier League are yet to confirm live TV schedules for November and the opening weeks of December,
Thursday saw them reveal the fixture programme for the Christmas and new year
period:
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.
U18s:
Youngsters taste defeat
Newcastle U18s 0 Manchester United U18s 2
Boasting a 100% record after their opening four games, Newcastle's
U18 side were deservedly beaten at Little Benton after conceding a
goal in each half.
The Red Devils came close to taking a 25th minute lead when Edson
DeJonge-Seiros met Emmanuel Ziro's right wing cross but directed his
header at 'keeper George Mair.
The 16 year-old forward wasn't to be denied for long however, firing
in nine minutes before the interval after Jariyah Shah and Jaume
Camacho combined.
The visitors coped better than the young Magpies with a swirling
wind and sealed victory in the 90th minute when substitute Noah
Ajayi ended a solo run into the box by slotting the ball beyond Mair.
Despite netting 16 times in their opening four games, the hosts
failed to create a scoring chance of note - Mair's long punt
downfield in the second half the only time that visiting 'keeper
Charlie Hardy's clean sheet was threatened.
Defeat for Newcastle coupled with a 4-1 win for Manchester City over
the mackems saw the Citizens replace the Magpies at the top of the
North Group.
Team: Mair, Koussou (Afumuzor 74), Moran, Morgan,
Healy-Matthews, Old, Gilligan, Seldon, Robinson, Skelton, Benjamin (Bownes
46 [Callaghan 79]).
Subs n/u: Holland, Patterson.
Booked: Robinson.
There was an U18 bow for Thomas Bownes, who was
introduced as a half time substitute but was himself then replaced
with what looked like a minor injury.
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.

lads:
The borrowers

Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
Keeping his place in the side for Sunday's Turkish Super Lig home
meeting with Kasımpasa, the 18 year-old netted with a
right-footed snap shot from just inside the box after 23
minutes - a stylish way to bag his first senior goal.
However the midfielder ended up on the losing side as the visitors
netted a winner in second half time added on. Ousmane (pictured
wearing number 42) completed 90 minutes at the cost of a yellow
card.

here
Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
Arriving as a substitute away to Sassuolo in Serie A after an
hour on Sunday with the game scoreless, the striker ended up on the
wrong end of a 2-3 loss.
Sean Neave (Wolves):
Sunday's 1-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the
Championship was achieved with the forward on the bench.
Leo Shahar (Arouca):
The full back wasn't in the matchday squad on Sunday, as Arouca lost
1-2 at home to Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga.
Rory Finneran (Notts County):
Rory played the full game for County as they lost 0-1 at home to
Bradford City in League One on Saturday.
Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
Anthony started the game at York City in League Two on Saturday.
They were trailing 0-3 when he was substituted in the 77th minute
with the Minstermen adding a fourth.
Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):
Alex started in his side's 0-3 defeat at FC Magdeburg in Bundesliga 2
on Saturday. He was subbed just after the hour when all the goals
had already been scored.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
Antonio was on the bench for the home game against UD Las Palmas
in Segunda Division on Saturday. He joined the action in the 58th
minute and two minutes later Las Palmas scored the only goal of the
game.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A clean sheet for the goalkeeper in La Liga on Friday night, as
Seville beat Valencia 1-0 at home.
Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):
The defender missed Thursday's 1-2 loss at Stevenage in League One
due to injury.

Update:
One in, one out
It's reported that ex-Magpie Paul Dummett has returned to the
club in a development squad loan capacity, following Shola Ameobi's
move to a corporate role.
The 34 year-old exited from Gallowgate at the end of the 2023/24
season, playing on for Wigan Athletic before a brief spell at
Carlisle United ended with his retirement in 2025.
Meanwhile goalkeeping coach Adam Bartlett has left the
Magpies after the arrival of Matthias Jaissle and his staff.
Playing for Newcastle as a youngster, the 40 year-old returned to
the club as a coach in 2019, succeeding Simon Smith as head of the
goalkeeping department in 2022.

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
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |

13th September |

Born Or Died:
1909 Edwin "Ray" Bowden born, Looe, Cornwall.
(1937-39)
England international forward who made his name with
Arsenal, winning an FA Cup and a League Championship after moving to Highbury
from Plymouth Argyle in 1933.
An ankle injury restricted Ray's involvement for
the Gunners and he dropped down to Division Two when United paid £5,000 for him
during November 1937.
Debuting in a 3-0 win over Southampton at SJP that month, Bowden's first goal
for the club came the following week during a 1-2 loss at Blackburn Rovers.
His last appearance would be an 8-1 home win over Swansea in September 1939
when he grabbed a hat-trick.
However the onset of war saw the season halted and later expunged from the records.
Bowden returned to
Plymouth and ran a sports shop in the city. He died in September 1998.

1964 Paul Bodin born,
Cardiff, Wales. (1991-92)

Defender who had appeared for various clubs in a
decade of football before his brief loan period at
SJP from Crystal Palace, during the reign of Ossie
Ardiles.
Beginning his career as an apprentice at Chelsea
without playing a senior game,
he joined hometown club Cardiff City via a short
spell with Newport County.
Three years at Ninian Park were followed by a
period in the non-league game with Merthyr, Bath
City and a second spell at the reformed Newport
County.
Bodin's return to league football came at Swindon
Town in 1988 where he played under Ardiles at the
County Ground.
A move to Crystal Palace came in 1991 as the
fallout from Swindon's playoff victory annulment
and betting charge saw Ardiles depart for Tyneside
and his squad break up.
The pair were then reunited at SJP in late 1991
with Bodin making his debut at left back in a 2-2
home draw with Port Vale.
His sixth and final game proved to be the New
Years Day debacle at Roots Hall when Newcastle
were walloped 0-4 by a buoyant Southend United.
Despite that, Ardiles was keen to complete a deal
with Palace for Bodin, but Newcastle were
unwilling or unable to commit to the £250K
transfer fee the Eagles demanded.
Enter Swindon, who bought him for a second time -
and saw Bodin play the best football of his career
when deployed as a wing back - helping the club
into the Premier League.
While at the County Ground however, Paul assured himself of an unwanted mention
in Welsh football
folklore for a penalty miss against Romania at
Cardiff Arms Park in November 1993.
The score at that point was 1-1 and victory for
the home side would have seen them qualify for the
World Cup Finals for the first time since 1958.
They lost 1-2.
Leaving Swindon in 1996, Bodin later played for Reading, Wycombe Wanderers
and Devizes Town - also returning to former club Bath City as player manager
for a time.
Installed as a youth coach back at Swindon in 2008, Bodin also had a brief
stint as caretaker manager in the closing weeks of the 2010/11 season.
However his time at the Robins ended in March 2013 when diagnosed with stress
that he claimed was brought on by former Town manager Paolo Di Canio.
With the threat of legal action looming, Swindon made an undisclosed out of
court settlement with Bodin later that year and he officially left the club by
mutual consent.
Subsequently coaching youngsters at both
Southampton and Port Vale, Paul joined the Welsh FA coaching
staff, overseeing the U17s before taking charge of
the U21s between 2019 to 2022.
 1999 Mace Goodridge born, Manchester. (2016-18) 
Defensive
midfielder who joined United in 2016 following his release by Manchester City,
having also trialed for Leicester City.
Debuting for the U18s in a 1-0 win at the mackems in
September 2016, Mace's first goal at that level secured a 2-1
victory at Wolves three months later.
A first taste of reserve team action came against Gateshead in March 2017 and Hebburn Town a month
later but he failed to play competitively.
Released by Newcastle in June 2018 Mace agreed a deal
with Burnley, having featured as a trialist for the Clarets at U23 level.
Mace signed a contract extension in early 2020 following his
first unused bench selection for a Premier League game.
February 2021 saw him loaned out to League Two Barrow but he
ended the season as a free agent when Burnley released
him.
Moving into non-league with Chorley, AFC Telford and
Buxton, he ended his
playing career in 2023, joining Fleetwood Town as Academy Performance Analyst.

deservedly extended to four games after another shabby
showing.
This game had a 5pm start on a Wednesday.

United returned to the North
Yorkshire coastal town where they regularly based
themselves ahead of FA Cup ties the previous season.
The match was a "thank you" to Northern League Saltburn for
allowing United to use their pitch
for those preparations,
with the home side drawn from local amateur clubs.

There was a debut for Tommy Goodwill, at outside left.
Although neither appeared, United duo James Stewart and
Scott Duncan both took £500 bonuses due to them from the
gate money.
Officials from Glasgow Rangers were present and within
hours, agreement on what were claimed to be big money
transfers for both players had been reached.
1919 Chelsea (a)

A memorable Old Trafford success
for Newcastle, but Sunday Sun reporter Colin Veitch
highlighted the defensive lapses of the hosts over the
prowess of the Magpies.
Few home fans celebrated Tommy Reid's treble, as their
side suffered a biggest-ever home defeat and remained
pointless after five games,
conceding 26 goals.
They would go on to lose their opening dozen games and
end the season bottom of the table.

The Magpies made it eight games without defeat from
the start of the season, but couldn't find a way past
the Terriers at Leeds Road - despite having scored six
goals without a reply on Tyneside just a week earlier.
Jackie Milburn had struck three times in that
victory and came closest to winning the return contest,
pinging a 35 yard shot off the woodwork on 35 minutes.

Newcastle were back on home ground after a 3-1 win at
Spurs and a 5-6 loss at Chelsea and despite leading
couldn't prevent a winless run against the visitors
extending to seven games.
The Manchester United side included former Gallowgate
favourite Ernie Taylor, along with Albert Scanlon - the
latter who would be transferred to Newcastle in 1960.
1961 Scunthorpe United
(h) 2-0 (1-0)
League Cup 1st Round
Hale(12), Allchurch(63)

Newcastle chalked up a first victory in the
League Cup at the second time of asking, having being
humbled 1-4 at home by Colchester United at the same
stage 12 months earlier.
Ken Hale was allowed to interrupt his National Service
and play, marking his first senior appearance since
October 1959 with a goal.
1966 Leeds United (a)
0-1 (0-1)
League Cup 2nd Round
Peacock(44)
18,131
The hosts deservedly won, with the margin of
victory only so slim due to the exploits of goalkeeper
Gordon Marshall - and no less than three Leeds players
hitting the woodwork.
Having made his debut the previous weekend, youngster
Stuart Alderson kept his place in the starting lineup
for Newcastle.

The Magpies renewed rivalries with the Imps after a
gap of over 70 years since the two sides met in
Division Two.
There was a debut for midfielder Eric Ross at Sincil
Bank as Newcastle were beaten in their fifth
successive League Cup tie - this time by a lowly
Fourth Division side.

Roy McFarland's header from a free kick was enough to take the
Rams to the top of Division One, Bob Moncur
commenting afterwards that, "we played rubbish and
deserved to get beaten."

Texaco Cup First Round First Leg

Having exited at the semi-final stage the previous
season, Joe Harvey's side began another Texaco Cup
campaign against Ally McLeod's Honest Men.
Newcastle fielded an unchanged starting lineup at
Somerset Park from the one which had beaten Arsenal the
previous weekend.
The rules of the competition allowed for two
substitutes to be named, one of whom had to be a
goalkeeper.
Team:
McFaul, Craig, Clark, Young, Howard, Moncur, Barrowclough,
Smith, Macdonald, Tudor, Hibbitt. Subs n/u: Reid, Burleigh.

After back-to-back home games during which
they had scored nine times without conceding, reality
rapidly returned for United at Goodison Park.
The Toffees themselves had let in six goals in their most
recent two outings, but exploited a Magpies side lacking
toe injury victim Malcolm Macdonald and whose defence was
once again something of a disaster area away from home.

The BBC "Match of the Day" cameras made the short trip
from TV Centre to Loftus Road to capture the first game
of Arthur Cox's managerial reign.
Stuart Boam gave United an
interval lead that Bob Hazell cancelled out, before the
hitherto anonymous Terry Hibbitt struck the winner after a mix-up in the R's box.
Unfortunately the referee had
already noted that Newcastle wanted to substitute him, so
the scorer was promptly forced to
leave the pitch, to be replaced by Peter Cartwright.

Newcastle sank to the bottom of the First Division for
the first time since 1977, as their winless start to
the season reached six games.
Brian Kilcline opened the scoring at Highfield Road
against his future employers following a free kick given
for a foul on Cyrille Regis.
The City striker tormented a United side without injury
victims Glenn Roeder and Peter Beardsley.
Meanwhile, Joe Harvey made a scouting visit to Villa
Park as Manchester United Reserves beat the hosts 7-0.
His target was claimed to be Clayton Blackmore, but
nothing came of it.

A memorable debut for Alex Mathie who came off the
bench to set up Andy Cole's equaliser before netting with a superb effort at the Leazes End.
Chris Waddle appeared for the visitors, while Northumberland-born Andy Sinton scored twice
for the Owls. However United - forced to play in their blue away strip
- were
deserved winners.

Despite scaremongering by United, tickets were on sale for the away sections right up

Future Magpie flop Carl Cort marked his first Wombles
start by opening the scoring, setting Joe Kinnear's side
en route to a first Premier League success at SJP.
John Barnes debuted, Warren Barton hit a
rare goal against his former employers and Tino Asprilla
was named on the bench after arriving back late from
international duty.
Of course this was all part of a master plan to wrong-foot Jose Mourinho - present at SJP in his role
as Barcelona scout, ahead of United's home Champions
League tie with the Spanish side the following Wednesday.

Alan Shearer reached the 150
goals mark for United with a brace of spot kick
conversions, but referee Rob Styles took centre stage with 11 yellow and two red cards.
The first of those was for Laurent Robert for
a crazy leap into the back of Tobias Linderoth, but it was
10-a-side when Gary Naysmith was dismissed just before the
hour mark.
Tomasz Radzinsky equalised but United were within sight of
victory until a daft challenge by Jermaine Jenas on
Radzinsky allowed Duncan Ferguson to level once
again from the spot.

2006 Missing from the party who flew
to Estonia for the UEFA Cup tie against Levadia Tallinn was Assistant Manager Kevin Bond,
given time
off by the club to deal with "personal matters".
Earlier in the week, Bond's name was mentioned in

Ironically he was
handed his P45 by the club while fellow Panorama
"star", Sam Allardyce, got the manager's job

United's first game following the abrupt exit of
Kevin Keegan saw caretaker boss Chris Hughton in the
dugout and large-scale protests outside.
There were debuts for the two players whose arrival had
added to the political unrest on Barrack Road, with Xisco
netting a debut goal and Nacho Gonzalez appearing off the
bench.
Danny Guthrie saw red for an awful challenge on
Craig Fagan, that left visiting boss Phil Brown rather inappropriately
calling for that sort of tackle to be "kicked out of
football".
This game saw the first appearance of the infamous "Cockney Mafia
Out" banner, Charles N'Zogbia seemingly distracted by it as the
Tigers swept forward to score the
winner.
