Champions League:
Europe again...
Newcastle's reward for
finishing twelfth in the League Phase of the Champions League is a
place in the two-legged play-offs, facing either Monaco or
Qarabag. Those two sides finished 21st and 22nd respectively.
Whether Eddie Howe's side will be heading to the Principality or
making an exotic trip to the Azerbaijan capital of Baku will be
decided on Friday, when the draw takes place from 11am.
Regardless of their opponent, United's seeded status means that they
have home advantage in the play-off second leg.
Their hectic February fixture list now reads as follows:
Wed 04.02.2026 Manchester City (a) 8pm
(CC)
Sat 07.02.2026 Brentford (h) 5.30pm (PL)

Tue 24.02.2026 or Wed 25.02.2026 (h) (CL)
Sat 28.02.2026
Everton (h) 3pm (PL)
* With Manchester City avoiding the play-offs, kick-off time for
United's Premier League visit to the Etihad Stadium will depend on
what night their away play-off takes place.
If Newcastle are in CL action on Tue 17.02.2026 then we'll face City
at 12.30pm. If it's Wed 18.02.2026 then we'll face City at 8pm.
Champions League:
Paris parity = play-offs
PSG 1 Newcastle 1
Newcastle rounded off their Champions
League, League Phase fixtures with a creditable draw against last year's
competition winners PSG at the Parc Des Princes in Paris.
The tie got off to an incredible start; an incredibly dubious decision
to award the home side a penalty from their first attack strongly
echoing the one gifted to them in 2023.
Lewis Miley's accidental handball after the ball had already hit Bradley Barcoloa's arm was reviewed by VAR and referee Slavko
gave the spot-kick after a pitchside check.
Providing the cross that led to the suspicious penalty call last
time, Ousmane Dembele was this time entrusted with the spot kick but
foiled by an excellent stop from Nick Pope to keep it goalless with only four minutes gone.
The joy was to be short-lived for the 2,000 travelling Mags though,
with PSG going ahead just four minutes later. Lewis Hall lost the
ball and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia teed up Vitinha on the edge of the
area to bury an accurate low
shot.
More home goals could have followed but Pope denied Dembele and
Kvaratskhelia
before the Georgian player left the field after injuring himself
upending Anthony Elanga.
Another mind-boggling decision from the Slovenian referee saw
Newcastle gain the free-kick but Elanga cautioned!
Nick Woltemade could have headed a corner goalward but when he
didn't, the ball hit a defender's arm but this time VAR took seconds
to clear the offence.
A Magpies side showing five changes from Sunday's Premier League
defeat to Aston Villa began to settle down and cause PSG some
problems, but without managing to test Russian goalkeeper Matvey
Safonov.
That all changed in first half added time though, as Pope's free-kick on
the halfway line was headed backwards by a defender, Dan Burn doing well to nod the ball back to Joe Willock
who steered his header in.
After the break, an unchanged United side altered their approach and
restricted the hosts to a minimum of shots while looking to expose
them on the counter-attack.
That effort to find a second goal saw Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes
introduced, and both of them should have added to their collections
of Champions League strikes.
Gordon was denied by what looked like a foul that the referee and
VAR ignored, while Barnes seemed certain to
score late on, but sliced his first-time effort wide.
The linesman's flag was raised after the latter miss, but
a review may have found him to be onside. There again, given the
antics of the officials, he'd probably have been booked...
At that point both sides needed to win to make it into the top eight
but neither could carve out an opening in added time and both enter
the play-offs.
That doesn't detract from the enjoyment of this tie - Howe genuinely
rotating his side for once and gaining satisfaction from the
performances of Willock and Jacob Ramsey, who justified a starting
place rather than a cameo role. There was also the big boost of Burn
returning from injury.
Three times we've faced PSG now: we're yet to lose to them and once
again came mighty close to beating them on their own ground.
Regardless of our progression, that's something to be proud of.
Full report to follow.

Crowd: 47,637 including 2,000 away fans.
The net which obstructed the view significantly for fans in the
lower tier in 2023 was thankfully not in place tonight.
Eddie Howe said:
On whether he'd have taken a playoff place at the outset:
"I probably would have done. I don’t know.
"We didn’t set out with that intention, we set
out to try to qualify outright, but I think you take every
eventuality that falls your way.
"Now, we knew this would be our last game and it was going to
be really tough if we were needing to win, and that was the position
we found ourselves in.
"We went all out to try to do that, to try to win the game and
we chased it as much as we could without leaving ourselves with the
possibility of losing, because I don’t think that would have helped
us either.
"We gave everything we could to try to finish in the top
eight; we didn’t quite get there, so we have to go another route.”
On the penalty decisions:
"You can debate the first decision, but if you think it’s a penalty
– which obviously the officials did – then for me, the next one has
to be a penalty as well.
"I don’t think the first one is, personally, I don’t think the
one against Lewie should have been given. It hits their player’s arm
first and it’s unintentional."
Joe Willock became the latest Magpie to complete the feat of
scoring in the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions
League. He joins current colleagues Dan Burn, Anthony Gordon,
Joelinton and Fabian Schar in that club.
Willock's 19th competitive Newcastle goal is the first
he's scored since a brace at Birmingham City in the FA Cup in
February 2025.

Update:
Honest Mag
Scottish Championship side Ayr United have completed the loan
signing of Magpies goalkeeper Max Thompson for the
remainder of the season.
The 21 year-old Tynesider was loaned out to League One
Northampton Town during 2023/24 and League Two Chesterfield last
season, but remained in Toon this season and was named on the
bench against PSV.
Update:

Harrison Ashby/Joe White (Bradford City):
Harrison's inclusion at right wing back for Tuesday's League
One visit to Lincoln City did nothing to improve Bradford's
form, as they lost 0-3. Ashby was withdrawn in the 69th minute,
with midfielder Joe introduced at that time.
Max Thompson (Ayr United):
No debut for the goalkeeper on Tuesday as Ayr's Challenge
Cup visit to St.Johnstone fell victim to the weather.
Charlie McArthur (Airdrieonians):
Tuesday's Challenge Cup tie at Arbroath was also postponed.

Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS):
Consett (h) Northern Premier League, Saturday.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
An unused substitute role on
Saturday for the winger, as his side won 2-0 at Rennes in Ligue
1.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
With Vlach between the posts, Seville beat Bilbao 2-1 at
home in La Liga on Saturday.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
Making his first start for Cadiz following a trio of
substitute appearances, Antonio played on the right wing at home
to Granada in La Liga 2 on Saturday.
He came close to netting in the first half when a shot from
distance was tipped on to the post by the 'keeper. Antonio
completed 69 minutes of the 1-2 loss and was booked.
(Thanks to Spanish Mag Tony Taylor for the update)
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
Sunday brought a belated Eredivisie debut for the
midfielder, appearing from the bench for the final 10 minutes of
a 1-2 home defeat by Fortuna Sittard.

On This Day in History |
|
28th January |

Born Or Died:
1948 Stuart Boam born, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. (1979-81)  Rugged central defender who began his career at Mansfield Town in 1966, after being spotted playing for Kirkby Colliery by former Newcastle player Sammy Weaver.
Making his first team bow for the Stags during the following season, Boam's form prompted a £50K move to a Middlesbrough side managed by Stan Anderson in 1971.
Appointed club Captain by Jack Charlton, Stuart helped Boro gain promotion and he was a regular for the following eight seasons, playing over 500 games.
However, he missed out on a testimonial when Boro opted to sell him to Newcastle in August 1979. It later transpired that Boro lacked the necessary funds to complete a deal for United's Irving Nattrass and Boam departed after being valued at £150K.
Debuting alongside David Barton in central defence for a 2-1 home win over Chelsea, Stuart scored his first goal for the club in a League Cup tie against the mackems.
A virtual ever-present under manager Bill McGarry, his successor Arthur Cox kept Boam in his side. However, the club's FA Cup Fifth Round loss to Exeter City and a run of poor league results saw Cox make changes; Boam's final game a 0-0 draw at Oldham Athletic in February 1981.
Released that summer, Stuart returned to Field Mill as player boss (assisted by ex-Magpie Geoff Allen) but struggled with his fitness and left after two years.
Returning to the
region with Hartlepool United, Stuart made just one appearance for them before injury forced him to quit.
Moving into non-league with Guisborough Town, Boam worked for Kodak and ran a newsagents/convenience store in his hometown until retiring in 2007.
A further involvement with United came during the Jim Smith era, when he carried out some scouting missions for the club.
Stuart died on 4th November 2025 after a lengthy illness.  1963 Death of Bert Chandler, 66.
(1925-26) Came from Derby and left for Sheffield United where he was blacklisted by the FA for Players' Union subs irregularities at which point his league career ended. 
1989 Siem De Jong born, Aigle,
Switzerland (2014-17)  United's third arrival of summer 2014 was the Ajax captain, who signed a six year deal after moving into the final 12 months of his contract with the Dutch champions.
The elder brother of Magpies loan flop Luuk, Siem was also born in Switzerland but raised in Holland from an early age and first linked up with the Ajax academy in 2005.
A senior debut followed in September 2007 and his 244 competitive games for them brought him a total of 78 goals.
Appointed captain in 2012, Siem featured in four successive title winning sides but was missing for half of the 2013/14 season due to a series of hamstring issues.
Those fitness concerns saw him excluded from the Dutch 2014 World Cup squad, failing to add to his six full caps.
After a promising pre-season during which he marked his Newcastle debut with a goal in a friendly at Oldham, Siem's competitive bow came as a substitute in a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa in August 2014.
Starting the 1-0 League Cup success at Gillingham three days later, De Jong was in the side that drew 3-3 with Crystal Palace the following Saturday but picked up a serious thigh injury in training days later.
Belatedly returning to the side in April 2015, Siem netted his first competitive goal soon after arriving from the bench during a 2-3 home defeat by Swansea City.
A second strike followed in the Capital One Cup against Northampton Town early the next season as he featured regularly under Steve McClaren - albeit usually as a sub.
Further misfortune then befell Siem early in 2016, sustaining an eye injury in training that saw him hospitalised amid claims that he'd been lucky not to lose his sight.
Following the installation of Rafa Benitez, De Jong made four substitute appearances as his team unsuccessfully fought relegation, the last of which saw him arrive in the 89th minute of a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa that virtually condemned us to the drop.
A hamstring problem sustained during a training camp in Ireland saw Siem back on the sick list and he made a season-long loan move to PSV Eindhoven (reuniting with brother Luuk)
in August 2016.
Playing regularly in Holland, Siem returned to
SJP and featured in all six pre-season matches - making familiar noises about a new start.
Benitez had other ideas though, and a permanent
move to former club Ajax came in August 2017.
Almost exactly a year later, De Jong exited from Ajax on a season-long loan deal to Australian A-League side Sydney.
Back at Ajax for Siem was
mostly confined to bench duty, but did grab a 26-minute treble during a 7-0 Dutch Cup victory over Spakenburg in early 2020.
He briefly joined MLS side FC Cincinnatti in February 2020
but soon returned to the Netherlands and signed for SC
Heerenveen in December of the same year.
His final move was back to De Graafschap his boyhood club in June 2022 and at the end of the season he announced his retirement.

An amazing tie at Craven Cottage against the Second Division hosts saw United take a 3-0 lead before the half hour mark.
Tosh
Chamberlain reduced the arrears before the interval and then had another effort
disallowed on 58 minutes by linesman Jack Taylor.
Unbowed, he then twice evaded full back Arnold Woollard - who was later taken to hospital after being unable to see out of one eye - and levelled at 3-3.
Jimmy Hill (yes, that one) forced the ball past Simpson from in at the Putney End to put the Cottagers ahead, only for reality to intervene as Vic Keeble netted twice - one via an old fashioned shoulder charge on the 'keeper.
Hill later commented that this was:
"The most exciting match of my life. Anyone who was there will tell you that it was the most exciting cup tie they ever saw."
Magpies Captain Jimmy Scoular was sidelined through injury, but travelled
with five mates to watch the game, buying tickets in the Main Stand and
travelling back to Tyneside on the overnight train.

1956 Meanwhile at the Baseball Ground,
Newcastle reserves lost 0-3 to Derby County - South African-born
forward Alf Ackermann netted a hat-trick in the 5th, 22nd and 87th minutes.

Newcastle's FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Stockport County was
called off just an hour before the scheduled 3pm kick-off.
Hopes were high that it would be played after the SJP
pitch had been covered all week by plastic sheeting.
Once that was removed on matchday though, a two hour
rainstorm left the surface sticky, but the Fourth Division
visitors were mystified by the postponement - having
played on a far worse surface at Exeter's Saint James Park
a week earlier.

With the BBC Match of the Day cameras at SJP,
Bill McGarry's side took the lead through John Bird's header - only for Dixie
McNeil to quickly level from close range.
A fine effort from Ray Blackhall then looked to have won it for United only for
McNeil to grab a late leveller that silenced the Blaydon Races choruses and condemned us to a replay at the Racecourse Ground.
That finished 4-1 to Wrexham, handing them a Fifth Round Tie against
Blyth Spartans, which went to a replay - at SJP.

2004 United's Lomana LuaLua was sent off during the first half of DR Congo's 3-0 loss to Tunisia in the African Nations Cup.
Lua was penalised
in the first half after a
needless off-the-ball backheel on an opponent resulted in a straight red card.  A
distraught Lua refused to depart and his team mates had to prevent his attempts
to confront the Tunisian side. The scoreline meant that DR Congo - coached by Mick Wadsworth - were the first team to be eliminated from the African Nations Cup Finals, with a game still to play. 2005 Magpies boss Graeme Souness publicly declared that Craig Bellamy would never play for him again after the player appeared on Sky to call his manager a liar. By teatime, Bellamy seemed certain to sign for Birmingham City for £6m after Blues' Chairman David Gold appeared on national radio proclaiming a
done deal. However, Gold had jumped the gun and the player soon made it clear that he had no intention of
moving to St. Andrew's.  2006 Cheltenham Town (a) 2-0 (2-0)

United emerged unscathed from their first trip to Whaddon Road, as their League Two hosts failed to live up to the pre-match hype as potential
giant killers.
Michael Chopra's first domestic
Toon goal was quickly followed by an attempted clearance from a home defender
that bounced in off Scott Parker's chest.
Efficient rather than comfortable or convincing, the win meant
kept Graeme Souness in post - but was ousted as United boss during the following week.
NUFC.com match report 2008 The unbelievable and perplexing news broke that Dennis Wise was to be installed as a "suit" above manager Kevin Keegan. Along with Tony Jimenez and Jeff Vetere, Executive Director Wise would oversee recruitment while KK would pick the team. When asked about the appointment, Keegan simply replied: "I think that's a question for Chris Mort the chairman to answer when he comes back on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm just wanting to concentrate on Arsenal." Having picked ourselves off the floor, our own verdict was this: "It's a bewildering appointment and if you'd asked us who would be the least likely person in football to come in and take a suited role above Kevin Keegan, then Dennis Wise would have been top of our list. "And if you'd also asked us who is the most loathsome person in football and who would you like to never darken the doors of SJP then he would also have topped that list." Probably the worst appointment ever made in the history of this club. Apart from JFK.  2009 Manchester City (a)

seven without a win.
Shaun Wight-Phillips and inevitably Craig Bellamy netted but serious injuries to Michael Owen and Joey Barton - plus a suspension for Jonas Gutierrez - left United in crisis, ahead of the derby.
Joe Hart went between the posts for City, while Steve Harper kept goal for United, Magpies 'keeper Shay Given officially "injured" as a move to City loomed.

Alan Pardew's 50th game in charge of United saw him suffer a second successive FA Cup giant-killing.
An uninspiring tie was apparently drifting towards a scoreless conclusion and replay before Mike Williamson deflected a Will Buckley shot/cross past Tim Krul.
To compound our misery, TV channel ESPN ensured that Yohan Cabaye would miss the next three games by highlighting a challenge missed by referee Lee Probert.
Probert also
overlooked a blatant handball that should have seen Newcastle awarded a penalty but, of course, nothing was done retrospectively about that....

United's preparations for

Despite that though, Alan Pardew's side were a class above Chris Hughton's mob and victory should have been sealed well before Loic Remy and Bradley Johnson were dismissed for a brainless
scuffle.
Johnson inexplicably had his red card turned over on appeal but United lost their top scorer for three games - beginning with the following Saturday's home derby fixture.

This exit barely counted as an upset as Rafa put out a scratch team that featured a player whose only previous senior game was in 2013, two rookies who debuted in the previous round and three returning from injury.
There was enough evidence in the first half to suggest that those on show were good enough to
beat a mid-table third tier outfit and Aleksandar Mitrovic missed a
66th minute penalty that would have made it 1-1.
Sadly though, our perennial weakness of defending from set-pieces and responding positively when going behind again became evident after the break.
