Premier League:
Everton (a)

Teatime today sees the Magpies debut at the 52,700 capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium of Everton, the 61st different venue to have hosted a Premier League fixture involving them.

It's also Eddie Howe's 48th birthday.

It's a 5.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.

We are away that away fans may see their digital ticket appear in different formats, depending on the make/model of their mobile device and how tickets were downloaded.

NUFC queried this with EFC in recent days and received assurances that the various formats are all equally valid.

Team: Kieran Trippier, William Osula and Yoane Wissa won't feature on Saturday. Trippier has sustained a hamstring injury that is predicted to sideline him for a month, Osula continues to suffer pain in his ankle and and Wissa is now finally training with his colleagues but without any public knowledge of when he may make a belated Toon bow.

Sven Botman is doubtful with a back issue but Emil Krafth may return following the knee problem that he reportedly picked up answering a late call-up to the Sweden squad.

EFC: Merlin Rohl, Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson are all on the injured list.

Monday saw David Moyes make an enjoyable return to former club Manchester United, the Toffees running out 1-0 winners despite playing 77 minutes with 10 men after the dismissal of Idrissa Gueye for striking a team mate.

He'll be suspended for our visit while Everton are also set to be without Seamus Coleman, after he had to be replaced early on in the victory at Old Trafford.

The Toffees have staged six PL games at their new home; defeating Brighton, Crystal Palace and Fulham, drawing with Aston Villa and West Ham and losing to Spurs.

Referee: Craig Pawson - fresh from an eventful evening on VAR duty for Newcastle versus Manchester City, this will be the third NUFC game that the South Yorkshire whistler has handled this season following the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa and the 1-2 loss at Brighton.

Stats:

United are winless in nine PL away games, since a 3-0 success at Leicester City in April. That's their longest run without collecting three points on the road since the closing 11 games of the 2015/16 relegation campaign.

That sequence was then lengthened to 12 after the first away game of the 2017/18 Premier League season.

Eddie Howe's side have failed to win back to back PL fixtures so far this season.

War of words

From OM, Thursday - interesting that they mention the Paris police, who we'll be renewing acquaintance with in 2026:

Olympique de Marseille has taken note of the statement published by Newcastle United FC following the Champions League match played this Tuesday at the Orange Vélodrome.

The Club reiterates that the arrangements for the arrival and departure of visiting supporters were finalized well in advance of the match, in close coordination with the Paris Police Prefecture, UEFA, and Newcastle United FC itself. This system, compliant with UEFA standards, was meticulously implemented and proceeded smoothly.

Olympique de Marseille also wishes to remind everyone that it deploys significant human, technical, logistical and financial resources at each match to guarantee opposing fans a quality welcome and optimal security conditions.

The Club also emphasizes that no specific incidents or alerts were reported to it by Newcastle United FC during the evening of the match, nor by their representatives present at the stadium, nor in the hours following the match.

Furthermore, the feedback sent to our department by UEFA after the match confirms the quality of the security measures implemented and their effective operational execution.

Olympique de Marseille reaffirms once again its unwavering commitment to the safe travel of its own supporters and, consequently, its dedication to providing away fans with a suitable and secure environment. Therefore, the Club cannot accept that its responsibility be wrongly called into question.

Finally, the Club wishes to commend the rigorous and coordinated work of the Police Prefecture, whose actions ensured the smooth running of the event and the safety of all supporters.

Update:
Marseille (a) statement

From NUFC, Thursday:

We will be formally raising our concerns with UEFA, Olympique de Marseille and French police in relation to the unacceptable treatment of our supporters by police at Stade Vélodrome following Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixture.

Following the final whistle, our supporters were required to remain in the stadium for a period of up to one hour on the instruction of local authorities to ensure their safety when leaving the stadium.

Plans were in place to move 500 supporters at a time, with a police escort to the Metro station for onward travel to Place de la Joliette.

Our supporters were in good spirits despite the disappointing result and waited patiently and without incident during the holdback period.

The post-match operation was observed at close quarters by our stewards and senior staff.

'Unnecessary and disproportionate force'

Once the first group of supporters was released, the police began using unnecessary and disproportionate force to stop the remainder of our fans from moving any further. This was actioned through a combination of pepper spray, batons and shields, with numerous supporters being indiscriminately assaulted by the police.

Many supporters were visibly distressed, particularly in the upper concourse area of the away sector, where crushing became apparent.

Our staff immediately addressed the matter with the police, however this had limited impact on their excessive tactics.

Fans leaving the stadium rightly shared their distress, frustration and anger with our staff, and we have subsequently received deeply concerning witness reports from supporters who were in attendance.

Supporter safety and welfare should always be of paramount importance, and we strongly condemn the treatment of our supporters by the police during this incident.

Next steps

We will be calling on UEFA, Olympique de Marseille and local authorities to formally investigate this matter to ensure lessons are learned and this behaviour is not repeated.

We are continuing to liaise with the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) as we gather evidence on behalf of our supporters.

Were you in attendance?

We would like to hear from supporters affected by this incident as we collate as much supporting information as possible. This will also be shared with UEFA, UKFPU and the Football Supporters Europe organisation.

Supporters who wish to share their witness report should email [email protected]

Update:
Les O'Neill RIP

Former Newcastle United midfielder Les O'Neill has died, days before his 82nd birthday.

Northumberland born Les played for New Hartley Juniors and Blyth Spartans before joining the Magpies in 1961, playing alongside the likes of David Craig and Bob Moncur in the FA Youth Cup-winning side during his first season at SJP.

Becoming a regular in the reserves, O'Neill was called upon for senior team duty just once, a 2-5 loss at Portsmouth in Division Two during October 1963.

Sidelined by injury for almost a year, Les was transferred to Darlington in 1965 and later joined Bradford City before five years at Carlisle United brought him to prominence.

Helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to Division One in 1974, he scored three goals in their first two top-flight fixtures as Carlisle briefly topped the table.

Affected by fitness issues again, Les played his final games for Queen of the South and became a milkman in Carlisle.

Later off-field involvement saw him take charge of Penrith and Workington in addition to coaching and scouting for Carlisle, Blackpool and Wycombe Wanderers.

U19s lose again

Marseille U19s 2 Newcastle U19s 0

Pointless in their previous four U19 UEFA Youth League ties, United's youngsters failed to break their duck on Tuesday afternoon, beaten by a goal in each half by Marseille at the Stade Francis Turcan home of FC Martigues.

The hosts had only one point from a possible 12, but went ahead on 13 minutes when Said Remadnia took Antoine Valero's pass and clipped the ball over goalkeeper Roman Dowell.

The scorer was booked for removing his shirt in celebration.

Newcastle's task was made more difficult following the dismissal of Anthony Munda for a rash tackle midway through the second half but the ten men held out until the fifth added minute when Valero struck from close range after Dowell fumbled a shot.

ST holders have 24 hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 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.

The 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 get a couple of hours head start.

Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log on and complete your purchase regardless.

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.

On This Day in History

29th November

Born Or Died:

1977 Eddie Howe born, Amersham
(2021-present, Manager)

A central defender, Howe came through the ranks at Bournemouth to make his senior debut at home to Hull City in December 1995 in the third tier of the Football League.

Signing his first professional deal in the summer of 1996, Eddie became a first team regular and won two England U21 caps at the 1998 Toulon Tournament, playing in the same side as Kieron Dyer.

Sold to Portsmouth in 2002 as the Cherries encountered financial problems, two injury-hit years at Fratton Park and a brief loan to Swindon Town ended with a return to Bournemouth in 2004.

Regaining fitness, Howe played on until further injury issues finally forced him into retirement during 2007.

Coaching the reserves, he first took charge of the senior side on New Years Eve 2008, when they sat bottom of League Two and ten points from safety, following a points deduction imposed after the club entered administration.

Preventing them from dropping out of the Football League, Howe gained promotion before being tempted away to manage Championship side Burnley in early 2011.

Eddie exited from Turf Moor in October 2012 - a decision he later said was prompted by the death of his mother and the fact that he was living in Manchester away from his family.

Reappointed at Bournemouth, he remained in post until August 2020, overseeing two promotions and five seasons in the Premier League before demotion in 2019/20.

Strongly linked with vacancies at both Celtic and Everton, Eddie was officially confirmed as Newcastle Head Coach in early November 2021 - days after watching a 1-1 draw at Brighton from the stands in the company of club directors.

An expected first appearance at pitchside for the 3-3 home draw with Brentford was prevented by a positive COVID test, which left him isolating in a Tyneside hotel and watching the game on TV.

Howe's bow then came in a 0-2 defeat at Arsenal the following weekend.

After a sticky start that included an embarrassing home defeat to Cambridge United in the FA Cup, Eddie's time in charge enjoyed a meteoric rise as his side incredibly avoided relegation - very comfortably in the end - finishing a barely believable 11th.

The fantastic form continued into 2022/23 and Howe celebrated his 45th birthday with United sitting third in the table as the Premier League paused for the World Cup in Qatar.

He had just picked up his award for PL Manager of the Month October - his second after receiving his first for February, breaking with tradition by winning games after the award was won.

He also broke the home penalty shootout hoodoo when his side beat Crystal Palace at SJP 3-2 on penalties after the Carabao Cup Third Round tie had ended goalless.

That was on the way to Wembley where the Carabao Cup Final was unfortunately won by Manchester United; Howe putting that disappointment behind him to secure our first Champions League qualification for 20 years.

Six group stage games then included a sensational 4-1 home conquest of PSG and a disgraceful tie in Paris, when the hosts scraped a point thanks to a blatantly corrupt penalty award.

The following season saw Eddie write his name into the history books by leading his side to Carabao Cup glory, defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley, becoming the first Newcastle manager to secure domestic success for almost 70 years.

2002 Josh Gilchrist born, Wallsend
(2018-21)

Academy midfielder who made his U18 bow against Liverpool during September 2018 and was part of the Newcastle squad for the NI Super Cup the following year.

Selected at U23 level for the first time against West Ham in late 2019, Josh remained on the bench during a 0-4 reverse.

Released by United in June 2021, Josh later played for Bishop Auckland, Whitley Bay, North Shields, Dunston UTS and Ashington.

What Else?

1902 Aston Villa (a)
0-7 (0-4)
Division One
P13, 13pts, 11th/18
og(Agnew)(4), Templeton(5),
Johnson(30,0-5), Bache(0-4,0-7), Leake(0-6)
10,000
Already beaten 1-6 away at West Bromwich Albion and 0-3 at Wolves, United suffered further torture in the West Midlands.

There was an inauspicious debut for Harry Stenhouse at outside right, in place of Bob McColl.

1913 Aston Villa (h)
2-2 (1-2)
Division One
P14, 13pts, 14th/20
Low(14), Hudspeth(74pen)
Hampton(35), Stephenson(42)
34,000
Newcastle's Bob Hewison chose this game as a benefit and ended up £500 better off.

A goal from Seaton Delaval native Clem Stephenson looked enough to claim both points for Villa, before a linesman spotted that United's Billy Hibbert was fouled in the box and raised his flag.

Frank Hudspeth hammered home the resultant penalty kick.

1919 Sunderland (h)
2-3 (2-0)
Division One
P16, 21pts, 3rd/22
Hibbert(38), Robinson(43)
Mordue(62), Travers(75,85)

1924 West Bromwich Albion (a)

Carter(6), Byers(15)
13,141

1930 Blackburn Rovers (h)

P17, 13pts, 18th/22
Boyd(37), Lindsay(2-3)
L.Bruton(4), Puddefoot(60), J.Bruton(66)
20,271
Les Bruton and Jack Bruton were among the Rovers goalscorers at Gallowgate, but they merely just namesakes and unrelated.

1941 Leeds United (a)
2-5 (1-1)
Wartime
Surtees 2
Hargreaves, Henry 4
3,000
After beating Leeds 4-2 the previous Saturday, Newcastle lost the return game, despite the efforts of guest player Jack Surtees - Percy Main born and on the books of Nottingham Forest.

The hosts meanwhile included a pair of Magpies in the shape of Eric Litchfield and Septimus Spike.

1947 Sheffield Wednesday (a) 0-1 (0-0)
Division Two
P19, 25pts, 4th/22
Froggatt(72)
41,355
The only goal of the game came from the memorably named Redfern Froggatt, heading in a corner, as United failed to record a fourth consecutive away win. A win would have seen the Magpies top Division Two.

1947 A Central League fixture against Huddersfield Town at St. James', while the first team were at Hillsborough.

Woodburn and McNichol scored for United as the Terriers were beaten 2-1.

1952 Portsmouth (h)
1-0 (1-0)
Division One
P18, 20pts, 8th/22
G.Robledo(37)
46,721
Chilean forward George Robledo grabbed his 13th goal of the season to preserve United's unbeaten home record and leave them eighth in the table.

Despite that comparatively lowly position, the Magpies were only five points behind league leaders Wolves and with a game in hand.

Sadly this proved to be their highest placing of the season and they fell away to 16th, partly due to an atrocious run of results at SJP.

1958 Leeds United (a)
2-3 (1-0)
Division One
P19, 19pts, 11th/22
Allchurch(29,83)
og(Scott)(55), Crowe(56), Overfield(80)
23,732
Newcastle failed to end a winless run at Elland Road that stretched back to 1927 and their ill-fortune extended to an ankle injury suffered by Dick Keith and a strong penalty claim by Len White ignored.

The weak floodlights barely pierced the fog on a gloomy day in Yorkshire when the home side handed a debut to ex-mackem, Don Revie.

1972 Malcolm Macdonald was in blistering form, netting a first half hat trick as England U23s beat their Welsh counterparts at the Vetch Field, Swansea.

1975 Manchester United (a) 0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P19, 17pts, 14th/22
Daly(64)
52,264
Unchanged for the seventh successive league match, Gordon Lee's side looked on course for a point until Gerry Daly forced the ball past Mick Mahoney.

1975 Meanwhile the two United's also met at reserve level, 1,757 fans seeing Newcastle turn round a 2-0 half time deficit to run out 3-2 winners at SJP.

Jimmy Smith found the net as he continued his comeback from injury, while local lad Paul Cannell weighed in with two goals.

1980 Orient (a)
1-1 (0-0)
Division Two
P20, 20pts, 10th/22
Shinton(58)
P.Taylor(84)
5,800
Thin times for United - this goal by Bobby Shinton was his seventh of the season in all competitions. He didn't find the net again that term, but still finished top scorer.

1995 Liverpool (a)
1-0 (0-0)
League Cup 4th Round
Watson(77)
40,077
One of the best goals scored by any United player in the Premiership era was Steve Watson's Anfield winner.

The stand-in striker produced a mesmerising solo run and chip, filling in admirably for Les Ferdinand, who had earlier been forced off with a head injury.

1997 Crystal Palace (a)
2-1 (1-0)
Premier League
P13, 24pts, 7th/20
Tomasson(63), Ketsbaia(45)
Shipperley(67)
26,085
After the disappointment of a Champions League exit away to Barcelona in midweek, the Magpies bounced back at Selhurst Park.

Temuri Ketsbaia gave Kenny Dalglish's side a halftime lead with a fine 20 yarder, before setting up Jon Dahl Tomasson, whose shot bobbled past Eagles 'keeper Kevin Miller.

This victory was to be our last in London until the momentous 3-1 success at Highbury in December 2001 ended a 30 game barren run.

2000 Birmingham City (a)
1-2 (1-1)
Worthington Cup 4th Round
Dyer(13)
Adebola(31), Johnson(90)
18,520
Ex-Mag keeper Ian Bennett floored Alan Shearer as he was through on goal, but referee Steve Bennett (no relation, apparently) inexplicably deemed it a yellow card offence and Newcastle wasted the resultant free-kick.

The score then was 1-1 but Blues went on to win it and made it through to the final, losing on penalties to Liverpool at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Poor old Trevor Francis.
NUFC.com match report.

2000 A behind closed doors reserve friendly at Barnsley ended in a 3-2 win for Newcastle, thanks to efforts from James Coppinger, Mark Boyd and Pablo Bonvin.

2001 The reserves beat Whitley Bay 7-4 in a friendly to mark the opening of the new refurbished Seahorse Bar at Hillheads.

James Coppinger (2), Mark Boyd (2), Colin McMenamin, Diego Gavilan and Jonny Mann netted.

Blake(27)
29,344
Fireworks on the pitch at Molineux as a pre-match display ended with a stray rocket narrowly missing Jonathan Woodgate before hurtling into the crowd, where it hit a home spectator just below the eye.

It was a controversial match for United; staged less than 48 hours after an UEFA Cup tie. The rift between Freddy Shepherd and Sir Bobby Robson was evident from differing public statements about the situation.
NUFC.com match report

2004 With City boss Kevin Keegan looking on, United's reserves lost 0-3 to Manchester City at Kingston Park. Peter Ramage netted an own goal for the opener.
NUFC.com match report

2005 As press-led attempts to punish Alan Shearer for an incident with Everton's David Weir continued, FA Director of Communications Adrian Bevington said:

"Howard Webb has confirmed to us that he saw the incident at the time. Therefore, that prevents us from taking any other action under Fifa regulations. The matter is now closed."

That doubtless came as a great blow to the Daily Mail, who gleefully printed "Shearer's Charge Sheet", which mysteriously included the incident in 2001 when Roy Keane was dismissed at SJP - despite there being no physical contact between the players.

Celestine Babayaro was not so lucky for his clash with stroppy Toffee Tim Cahill in the same game and was punished via video evidence, receiving a three match ban.

2008 Middlesbrough (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Premier League
P15, 15pts, 17th/20
32,160
After gaining a point from a scoreless draw at Stamford Bridge the previous week, Joe Kinnear's side did it again at the Riverside.

However, that made it four games without a win for United, not helped by another below par display from alleged strike pair Obafemi Martins and Michael Owen.

The return of ex-smoggy Mark Viduka to the Toon side as a second half substitute brought home fans to life, but he failed to emulate his goalscoring feat of the previous season.

2009 The FA Cup Third draw gave United an 834 mile round trip of the season to Plymouth Argyle's Home Park - a venue we would also visit in the Championship that year.

2011 On a wet and windy night at Whitley Park, Brad Inman's brace saw the reserves ease past Ashington 2-0 and into the last four of the Northumberland Senior Cup.

Premier League
P13, 19pts, 8th/20
Cresswell(56)
34,977
United's winning run of six games came to an end on a day when very little went right in E13.

Two crazy bookings in a minute saw Moussa Sissoko dismissed, while an average display from a Hammers side managed by Sam Allardyce and featuring Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan gained maximum points.

(1-3 on penalties)
League Cup Quarter-Final
Diame(98)
Snodgrass(99)

United lost their unbeaten record at the KCOM Stadium and exited from the EFL Cup after failing to take advantage of numerous opportunities to claim a Premier League scalp.

City were reduced to ten men in the 90th minute when Dieumerci Mbokani was dismissed and Tigers old boy Mo Diame then netted - only for some slackness allow the hosts to level immediately.

The tie was settled in a shootout of laughable ineptness: shocking misses from Jonjo Shelvey, Dwight Gayle and Yoan Gouffran sealing our fate - with only Christian Atsu's effort sneaking under the crossbar preventing a total humiliation.

2017 The U23s won a third successive home game, hastily switching from a waterlogged Whitley Park to a less soggy Little Benton.

The move was to be a good one for the Magpies who beat Swansea City 6-0 in the Premier League Cup. Tom Heardman (4), Callum Roberts and Jack Colback all netted.

2019 The U23s shared six goals with Scunthorpe United in the Premier League Cup.

Tom Allan (2) and Elliot Anderson were on target at Glanford Park.

2022 With the season on temporary hold for the World Cup in Qatar, the draw for the Third Round of the FA Cup handed United a trip to League One Sheffield Wednesday.

2024 It was four league and cup victories in succession for the U21s, following a 1-0 PL2 win over Crystal Palace at a damp and chilly Whitley Park.

Scheduled for a 7pm start, kick-off was delayed by ten minutes due to the late arrival of medical cover followed by emergency repairs to a hole in one of the goal nets.

The winning goal came just after the half hour when Ben Parkinson flicked home a Matt Targett free-kick.
