collecting his fifth caution of the season against Wolves last Saturday. The striker has scored six of the 16 PL goals his side
have registered so far.
George Hirst misses out through injury.
Kieran McKenna's side are yet to win on home ground in the Premier League
this season, losing four times and drawing the other four.
Their most recent top-flight success at Portman Road came April 2002 when a
Town side including Titus Bramble defeated Boro 1-0 with a Darren Bent goal.
Referee: Stuart
Attwell - the Warwickshire-based official hasn't taken charge of a Newcastle
game since the 1-0 home win over Arsenal in November 2023.

Update:
George
Eastham RIP
The death of Ex-Magpie
George Eastham has been announced at the age of 88.
Born in Blackpool in 1936, the midfielder was signed from Northern Irish club Ards
(where his father George Senior was manager) and initially played for Newcastle's reserve
side.
Selected for a floodlit friendly at SJP against
Hearts that October, Eastham's senior
competitive debut came soon after in a 2-2
home draw with Luton Town.
While a popular player at SJP, George's spell as a
Magpie is remembered for a contractual
dispute that was ultimately to lead to
ground-breaking changes in the transfer system.
Attempting to secure a transfer in December 1959,
George's request was refused by United who
retained his registration the following summer
when his contract expired, playing his final game
for the club in a 1-0 home loss to Manchester City
in April 1960.
Refusing to sign on the terms offered meant that
George was unable to play and was forced to work
as a cork tile salesman in order to receive a wage
(in the Guildford area, far away from the North
East).
A £47,500 transfer was ultimately concluded to
Arsenal, but Eastham (backed by the PFA)
maintained his stance against the "retain and
transfer" system and mounted a
successful challenge in the High Court.
Enduring crowd abuse upon his return to SJP with
the Gunners, George's time at Highbury proved also
to be somewhat problematic, with a dispute over
wages in 1961 and a change in playing style seeing
him transfer-listed the following year.
He remained at Highbury until 1966 though, first
winning international recognition against Brazil
at Wembley in May 1963 - the first of 18 full
caps, previously appearing at both U23 and
FA Representative level.
The 1966/67 season saw George move to Stoke City and he was to win a Football League Cup medal in 1972,
scoring the winner against Chelsea at the age of
35.
Awarded the OBE in 1973, George retired from
playing the following year and was appointed as
Tony Waddington's assistant at Stoke - succeeding him in 1977 but only lasting ten
months before leaving.
He later settled in South Africa, having spent time there in 1971 on a sabbatical from
the Potters, playing for Cape Town City and
managing the Hellenic club.
Living in Cape Town, George ran a travel agency
and also continued to be involved in football,
both coaching and scouting.
2008 saw him back in England as his medals, shirts and caps were auctioned off to
benefit his family, before he received a further
belated gong the following year.
That came about after a change of heart from FIFA,
who decided to backdate the award of medals to
members of the winning squads between 1930 and
1974.
That meant that George and a dozen other players
and staff members from Sir Alf Ramsay's England
1966 World Cup squad
received medals.
Eastham visited 10 Downing Street for
a belated presentation of his medal by then-PM,
Gordon Brown.
March 2022 then saw him back in the UK for a
Stoke City ex-player reunion - only to fall ill
and require emergency heart surgery in London.
Update:
Metro
bombshell
Confirmation came from Metro
operator Nexus on Friday that the current service suspension between
Monument and Heworth will apply until early January at least.
This follows the emergency closure of the A167 Gateshead Highway flyover
that the Metro runs beneath.

Youngsters
bow out
Stoke City U18s 2 Newcastle U18s 4
United's youngsters
concluded their U18 Premier League Cup group stage games on Friday with
victory although they were already unable to reach the knockout phase.
Chris Moore's side trailed 1-2 going into the latter stages of the game at
Clayton Wood, but a late goal glut saw them find the net three times in just
eight minutes.
The Potters went ahead through Josh Maskall on 11 minutes and doubled their
lead 15 minutes later when Lewis Bailey beat Adam Harrison.
Libyan youth international Mo Waddani got one back almost
immediately, before goals from Kacey Wooster in the 84th and 86th
minute turned the tie around.
Substitute Joe Brayson's 91st minute penalty kick then ensured that
they snuck into second place behind group winners Chelsea, pipping Millwall
at the post.
However only the seven group winners plus the best runner-up across all of
the groups progress, with our final points total of four the smallest of all
second-placed sides.
Team: Harrison, Johnson, Codgon, Finneran, Epia (Craggs 72), Taylor,
Ferriera, Lucas (Brayson 72), Wooster, O'Donovan (Watts 79), Waddani.
Sub n/u: Jones.

Hats: last chance
Recently added to the range of Toon-themed headwear from Football

certain former midfielder.
Styled on United's distinctive 1997/98 season change kit, the hats are
made in the UK - one size fits most.
These are on sale now here
and Christmas delivery in the UK is still possible (along with products
from their sister company, Sock Council).
All orders shipped standard rate will be sent RM24/RM24 Tracked if

for Lee losing his familiar 7 shirt number while at SJP.
It was of course Ruud Gullit and the winning entry was received from Rob
Crammond.

Tuesday saw the second of
two international friendlies between England U16s and their Dutch
counterparts played in recent days at St.George's Park.
The Young Lions won 2-1 on Sunday and were victorious once again in
the second meeting, this time 3-2.
Newcastle's Michael Mills and Sam Alabi were in the England
squad, with Mills starting in the first game while Alabi was on the
bench and the roles reversed when the teams faced each other again
(sub usage is tbc).
FAYC:
Young Villans return
The draw for
this season's FA Youth Cup Fourth Round gave Newcastle
U18s a home tie with Aston Villa.
That's a rerun of the Sixth Round tie in April 2021, when the
Villans recorded a 6-1 success at Gallowgate.
Goals from Joe Brayson and Michael Mills were enough to defeat
Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 at Whitley Park in the Third Round.
Villa meanwhile scored six times without reply at home to Accrington Stanley.
Fourth Round ties are due to be played on or by Saturday January
18th 2025.
2025/26:
Parkhead
claim made
Various media outlets have reported that Newcastle are lined up as pre-season opposition
for current Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.
The Mail claim that the Magpies will be in friendly action at
Parkhead on Saturday July 19th, four weeks before the 2025/26 Premier League
season commences.
United's most recent visit to Glasgow saw them defeat city rivals Rangers
2-1 at Ibrox during July 2023.
The two sides have met on six occasions in the Premier League era, three on
Tyneside and three in Scotland:
2007/08 won 4-1 (h) Martins, Luque 2, Milner
2005/06 won 3-2 (h) Luque, og, Shearer
2004/05 lost 1-2 (a) Bellamy

United haven't lost to Villa at SJP in the last 16 meetings in all
competitions. Of the 27 Premier League fixtures between the sides,
the West Midland side have lost 17 times, drawn eight and won just
twice.
Both of those Villa wins came when Newcastle had incurred red cards;
the 0-1 in 1999 seeing Alan Shearer sent off and the 0-3 in 2004
infamously including the dismissals of Steven Taylor, Lee Bowyer
& Kieron Dyer.
The last time 11 Villans defeated 11 Magpies at SJP was a 1-2
success in Division One during 1989.

Roads:
A reminder of a significant road
closure in Gateshead:
The A167 Gateshead Highway flyover is shut to all traffic after
an inspection by structural engineers indicated a potential risk to
safety if it remains open.
The whole of the flyover is now
closed and the road beneath the flyover is also closed between the
Park Lane roundabout (junction with A184) and Five Bridges
roundabout (junction with B1426).
Two roundabouts below the
flyover remain open, for traffic to continue east/west and access
between the A184 bypass and the Tyne Bridge, and to the A1.
Gateshead council press release is online here
The Tyne Bridge refurbishment programme is underway, with one lane
in each direction closed at all times until further notice.
That will lead to inevitable congestion and delays, especially with
the Gateshead Highway emergency closure. More details here
Temporary
road closures around SJP

Born
Or Died:
1935
Death of Ted Birnie, 57.
(1898-1905)
 1946
Mickey Burns born, Preston.
(1974-78)
Right-sided
winger/striker who joined Blackpool from non-league Skelmersdale United in
1969, scoring on his debut.
After five years at Bloomfield Road he was signed by Joe Harvey and scored his
first goals for Newcastle in a pre-season Texaco Cup tie away to Carlisle.
His league debut came in a 3-2 home win against Coventry City in August 1974
and Burns would appear for United regularly over the next four seasons -
including the 1976 League Cup Final loss to Manchester City.
Scoring 15 of United's 42 goals in the relegation season of 1977/78, Burns was
then declared surplus to requirements and sold to Cardiff City.
Following a brief spell at Ninian Park, Mickey returned to the North East to
sign for the Smoggies and later joined the coaching staff at Ayresome Park.
Burns then remained in the game, working for the Professional Footballers
Association as head of vocational & educational services.
He also played a part in helping his former United strike colleague
Malcolm Macdonald undergo the operation that repaired his damaged knee - paid
for by the PFA.

"delirium almost
seized the crowd"
after three goals in the opening 10 minutes" - at
least in the opinion of the Lloyd's Weekly reporter.
The London Daily News meanwhile attached the headline, "Newcastle
still brilliant" to their report.

Hudspeth(35pen)

United were hampered by the loss of
outside left John McDonald to injury before the interval and he failed to
return for the second half.

Three goals in fifteen second half minutes appeared to have given Derby
a commanding advantage, with future Magpie Harry Bedford responsible for a
brace.
United belatedly rallied and replied with headers from Jack Hill and Bill
Chalmers, but Rams custodian Harry Wilkes then held firm.
 1946 Chesterfield (h)
2-1 (2-0)
Division Two
P20, 28pts, 1st/22
Wayman(20,22)

A good win against fellow promotion hopefuls, who had been solid in defence
all season.
The Spireites boasted no fewer than 13 players born in Durham and
Northumberland at the time.
 1957 West Bromwich
Albion (h) 3-0 (0-0)
Division One
P22, 17pts, 18th/22
Davies(52), White(63,84)
31,699
A second half revival saw United lifted two places up to 18th spot in the
table.
Len White's double took him to five strikes for the season at that point, but he would hit
form in the new year and grab 25 in total.
 1963 Plymouth Argyle

Division One
P22, 33pts, 9th/22
Beardsley(22)
Nicol(34)
30,746
Denied a penalty by an offside flag when Gazza was scythed down by Mark
Lawrenson, John
Bailey's clearance set Peter Beardsley away to lob Bruce Grobbelaar and net via a post.
John Anderson then denied Ian Rush with a fine goal line clearance before
Steve Nicol fired past Martin Thomas to level the scores.
And despite Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish bringing himself off the bench,
Liverpool couldn't find a winner and were given a few anxious moments by Gazza
and fellow rookie Paul Stephenson.
 1986 Sheffield
Wednesday (a)
0-2 (0-2)
Division One
P20, 21pts, 17th/22
Chapman(12), Bradshaw(21)
28,897
United's seven game unbeaten run ended at Hillsborough, after Wednesday's
attacking duo both claimed a goal and an assist in the opening quarter of the
contest.
Carl Bradshaw centred for Lee Chapman to head home before Chapman's layoff set
his teenage strike partner up to fire home the second.
This was to be the first of six successive league losses
that made relegation a genuine possibility.
1988 More frantic
transfer action at SJP as Jim Smith brought in a new full
back pairing; Ray Ranson arriving from Birmingham City and Kenny
Sansom waddling up from Arsenal.
1989 Newcastle's junior side advanced to the Third Round of the FA Youth
Cup after beating Tranmere Rovers in a Second Round replay.
Scorers for Colin Suggett's Magpies at Prenton Park were David Cleary, Lee
Clark and Steve Howey. Newcastle would return to Merseyside in the next round,
at Liverpool.
 1994 Manchester City

League Cup 4th Round Replay
Rosler(11), Walsh(80)

After an entertaining 1-1 draw at Maine Road, little went right for
Newcastle in the second meeting, with City becoming the first visiting side to
win at SJP all season.
 1997 Manchester United
(h) 0-1 (0-0)
Premier League
P18, 26pts, 9th/20
Cole(66)
36,767
Andy Cole scored his first goal at SJP since leaving, evading marker Darren Peacock
to head home a David Beckham centre.
Newcastle had their moments; Peter Schmeichel brilliantly
denying John Barnes and Stuart Pearce before Asprilla wasted a late chance.
Pearce had earlier intervened to foil a one man pitch invasion by a home fan,
who was en route for a one to one with Mr Cole.

P18, 32pts, 4th/20
Solano(8), Bellamy(70)
51,576
Home fans claimed an assist for the opener, booing old boy Alain Goma who then fluffed
his backpass to Edwin van der Sar.
One mis-hit clearance later and Nobby Solano had neatly chested the ball down
and sent it flying back over the 'keeper's head for 1-0.
Alan Shearer then blasted his penalty over the bar as the Cottagers were
reduced to ten men following Wome's lunge on Andy Griffin.
Craig Bellamy then wrapped up the victory, after which Sir Bobby Robson singled out the stamina of Gary Speed,
saying that he, "is fitter than ever, better than ever
and older than ever. He is an absolute marvel."
Bobby on Shearer's misplaced pen: "we've got
some builders in to repair the Stand!"

2004 Two weeks after a 3-0 home success over Middlesbrough,
the
reserves won the return fixture 2-0 at Billingham Synthonia's Central Avenue
home. Striker
Guy Bates
scored in eath half.
NUFC.com match report2005 It was "Kris miss time"
for the reserves as defender Kris Gate rattled the
Leeds crossbar four minutes from the end.
The game at the South Leeds Stadium ended in a 2-2 draw, thanks to Michael
Chopra's shot and a Carl Finnigan effort that struck an opponent and was
registered as an OG.

Joe Kinnear's Magpies made it two wins in a week and six games unbeaten,
thanks to a late Damien Duff winner.
The Irishman had been on the field barely three minutes when he played a
one/two with Mark Viduka and calmly shot past Gomes at the Leazes End. Duff
then proved his fitness by leaping the advertising hoarding to join celebrating
fans - receiving a booking.

Ba supplied a well-taken brace for the second time in a fortnight, but again
ended up on the losing side as United's winless run was lengthened to six home matches.
Without the banned Yohan Cabaye and with Dan Gosling also suspended, Alan
Pardew opted to hand Haris Vuckic his first top-flight start and leave Hatem
Ben Arfa and Mehdi Abeid in reserve on the substitutes' bench.

Johnson(90)

Fan-led initiatives in the wake of the
horse punching derby saw a less toxic atmosphere evident.
However, the motto "a derby to be proud of" didn't apply to home players; a late strike from
nemesis and soon to be arrested paedophile, Adam Johnson made it four wins in a row for the knuckledraggers.

2015 Tragic news from the Czech
Republic that Pavel Srnicek had collapsed
while out running in his home town of Ostrava.
Paramedics attempted to revive the 47 year-old former goalkeeper before he was hospitalised and placed in an
induced coma.
Sadly Pav never recovered and passed away eight days later.
2017 Newcastle reserves beat Northern League Blyth
AFC (now Town) 7-2 at Whitley Park in the Northumberland Senior Cup.
Lewis McNall grabbed a 14 minute treble while Mackenzie Heaney, Dan

A
long-awaited first goal for Miguel Almiron was enough to defeat the Eagles at
SJP and end his Magpies goal drought after 2,191 barren
minutes.
Andy Carroll's knockdown gave the Paraguayan an opportunity to volley home at
the Gallowgate end - prompting an almighty roar
from the stands and a booking for discarding his shirt.
