Latest:
Sandro signs on

Wednesday brought media reports that the Sandro Tonali contract extension said to have been a priority for new Sporting Director Ross Wilson was in fact done and dusted while one of his predecessors was still in post.

The 25 year-old Italian midfielder signed a five year deal following his capture from AC Milan in 2023 and is now revealed to have put pen to paper on an extension while serving his suspension for breaking betting regulations.

Tonali is now said to be under contract at SJP until 2029, with a further 12 month extension exercisable at the club's discretion - negotiations for both completed before Dan Ashworth left the Magpies in early 2024.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs (h) tickets

FAO ST holders on the Carabao Cup scheme wondering why they haven't received an email with a ticket download for next Wednesday's home tie against Spurs - and cannot download their ticket when accessing the club website.

Buried in the payment reminder emails sent out by the club in early October but not received by everyone was the following line:

"Tickets for this fixture will be uploaded onto your season pass."

In other words, no action is necessary and access against Spurs next week will be obtained by scanning season tickets as if it were a Premier League home game.

At present, this is a one-off change to the ticketing system, differing from the last three home cup ties versus Barcelona, Bradford City and Benfica and the upcoming one against Bilbao when individual tickets were issued.

PS: Carabao Cup scheme members whose initial payment failed or who were relocated from their usual seat for the Spurs game should have received an individual ticket.

Newcastle U19s  1  Benfica U19s  5

United's youngsters remain pointless after three games in this season's U19 Youth League, outwitted by their Portuguese counterparts at Whitley Park on Tuesday.

The visitors were first to show with a few rangefinder shots that flew over George Mair's goal, before Kacey Wooster tested Benfica custodian Diogo Ferreira on 19 minutes.

That began a period of United pressure; Leo Shahar firing across the face of goal moments later and Wooster trying his luck again but seeing a 25th minute effort blocked.

The opener went the way of Benfica 10 minutes before the interval, Eduardo Fernandes turning in the box before wrong-footing Mair with a low shot.

What proved to be a pivotal passage of play saw United attack from the first whistle after the break, Neave just failing to force his shot under Ferreira within 10 seconds.

A debatable penalty gave Benfica the chance to double their lead on 53 minutes after Jose Neto threw himself to the floor after contact from Shahar - only for Mair to guess correctly and deny Goncalo Moreira from 12 yards.

Reality swiftly intervened though within four minutes, as a Fernandes shot from distance was beaten out by Mair but snapped up by Franciso Silva for an easy finish.

Only a vital block by Logan Watts then prevented a third Portuguese goal just after the hour but a frantic period of play in the 67th minute ended with the United defender helping a Fernandes shot into his own net.

Strong running from United's main attacking threat Neave created a shooting opportunity on 75 minutes, but he was foiled again before a mazy run across the box from the impressive Moreira ended with him firing in via a post.

The black and whites did grab a consolation goal when substitute Joe Brayson finished well two minutes from the end of normal time, only for Fernandes to round off his hat-trick from close range during time added on.

Team: Mair, Shahar, Charlton, Johnson, Watts, Munda, Bailey (Finneran 61), Alabi (Waddani 71), Neave (Yildiz 86), Park (Seldon 61), Wooster (Brayson 61).
Subs n/u: Dowell, Moran, Goodbrand, Bloomer.

Booked: Neave, Shahar, Charlton

Crowd: 426

Referee: Lothar D'hondt, who had a rather quieter shift than on Friday, when he stopped the Belgian League game between Standard Liege and Antwerp in the 88th minute, after cup was thrown at him by a supporter.

U18s:
Derby disaster


mackems U18s  4  Newcastle U18s  1

Newcastle's U18 side travelled to wearyside on Saturday morning for their first league local derby of the season and were two down after just ten minutes.

Armenian midfielder Finn Geragusian scored twice in four minutes to put the hosts two up before Marcus Neill's penalty in added time made it 0-3 at the interval.

The young Magpies got one back in the 65th minute through Alfie Hutchison but there was a further goal for the mackems in the 87th minute when Ivan Struk... struck.

Champions League:
Marseille (a) update

NUFC have issued preliminary details for the upcoming Champions League visit to Marseille online here

Update:
He's a 'keeper

Sky Sports reported on Friday* that Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope had exercised the option in his contract for a further 12 months, keeping him at Gallowgate until 2027.

The 33 year-old has made 104 league and cup appearances since arriving from Burnley ahead of the 2022/23 season, keeping five clean sheets in the opening seven games of the current Premier League campaign.

Premier League:
TV times (incomplete)

Earlier: Wednesday saw the Premier League announce some changes to the December fixture list, with three Newcastle games rescheduled for TV as follows:

Tue 02.12.2025 Spurs (h) 8.15pm Sky
Sat 06.12.2025 Burnley (h) 3pm (no live TV)
Sun 14.12.2025 mackems (a) 2pm Sky
Sat 20.12.2025 Chelsea (h) 12.30pm TNT

Although fixtures up to the end of January were due on Wednesday, only those up to Mon 22.12.2025 appeared. There's no word on when the remainder will be released, leaving seven Newcastle games still subject to change:

Sat 27.12.2025 tbc Manchester United (a)
Tue 30.12.2025 tbc Burnley (a)

Sat 03.01.2026 tbc Crystal Palace (h)
Wed 07.01.2026 tbc Leeds United (h)
Sat 17.01.2026 tbc Wolves (a)
Sat 24.01.2026 tbc Aston Villa (h)*
Sat 31.01.2026 tbc Liverpool (a)

The initial fixture release in June didn't list any games on either December 26th or January 1st, but the PL's only "blackout" days are December 24th and 25th.

On that basis, some PL fixtures are liable to be played on both Boxing Day and New Years Day.

* Aston Villa's visit to SJP will move from Sat 24.01.2026 due to their Europa League tie on Thu 22.01.2026.

Match report

PS: The Magpies are still in with a chance of finishing second in their group and qualifying for the knockout stage of the EFL Trophy.

However, Huddersfield Town and Mansfield Town meet in their final game on November 4th - a week before the Harrogate versus Newcastle fixture. Depending on the outcome of that, our game could be meaningless.

Internationals:
Wissa complication

Following the final round of World Cup qualifiers involving African nations, the four sides contesting the play-off tournament are now confirmed - including DR Congo.

Assuming he's fit by then, Newcastle's Yoane Wissa would be in contention for selection when The Leopards travel to Morocco during the November international break.

Semi-finals are set for November 13th when DR Congo play Cameroon, with the winners of that facing either Gabon or Nigeria three days later.

The winner of that then qualify for a further inter-confederation qualification tournament involving six teams in USA/Mexico during next March's international break.

NB: this is all over and above DR Congo's participation in the African Cup of Nations Final tournament, staged between December 21st and January 18th in Morocco.

Theoretically, players can be called up 14 days in advance, but it's anticipated this will be delayed until after Premier League fixtures on and around December 13th.

Whether that could be stretched further to include the Carabao Cup ties the following midweek remains to seen.

Giveaway:
Scarf compo winner



Following the success of matching bucket and bobble hats, a Lee scarf has been added to the range of products on offer from Tyneside's own Football Bobbles.

Inspired by United's distinctive 1997/98 season change kit and echoing the current change ensemble, these are available online here
now.

(Anyone purchasing Lee scarves qualifies for reduced prices on Ferdinand scarves and Tino bobble hats - see link above for further details).

We had a Lee scarf to give away and asked what was distinctive about Rob Lee's UEFA Cup hat-trick at Royal Antwerp back in 1994.

Most folks knew that all three goals were headers and the winning entry came from Paul Johnson (the Bristol one). 

Book:
Belfast boy

Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.

The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons, winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.

Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

"Bill McCracken..." is available to direct from the publisher via their Amazon shop
here with an exclusive discount.

Carabao Cup:
Spurs (h)

United's third home game in a third different competition during a nine day period sees them receive Spurs in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

It's an 8pm kick-off, live on ITV1 and Sky Sports and if the scores are level after 90 minutes, the tie will be settled by a penalty shootout.

The winners will take their place in the quarter final draw, which will be staged after the full time whistle.

While Newcastle enjoy home comforts for the third successive game, the visitors will complete a trio of away fixtures: trekking to Monaco in the Champions League, Everton in the Premier League and Newcastle. 

Spurs will be backed by 4,900 fans - the same allocation that Bradford City received in the last round. On that basis expect temporary post-match closures of the walking route from the Leazes End onto Barrack Road for home fans, as was the case against the Bantams.

Fourth Round ties:

Tue 28.10.2025:
Grimsby Town v Brentford (7.45pm)
Wycombe Wanderers v Fulham (7.45pm)
Wrexham v Cardiff City (8pm)

Wed 29.10.2025:

Entering at the Third Round stage due to their European involvement like Newcastle, Spurs made it to the last 16 thanks to a routine 3-0 home win over Doncaster Rovers.

The two sides last faced each other in pre-season, a Harvey Barnes goal giving United a 1-1 draw in the South Korean capital, Seoul on the night that Son Heung-Min ended his decade-long association with the Cockerels.

Stats: This is the fourth time that the two sides have been paired in this competition, United winning the 1975/76 semi-final on aggregate - beaten 0-1 in North London but then triumphing 3-1 on Tyneside in the second leg.

The Magpies lost the next meeting 1-2 at Gallowgate in September 2008, before going down 0-4 at White Hart Lane in the most recent pairing during December 2014.

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.

On This Day in History
22nd October


Born Or Died:

1911 Harry Ware born, Birmingham. 
(1935-37)

Inside right who followed Tom Mather - his boss at Stoke City - to Gallowgate and marked his debut against Fulham with a goal at SJP in September 1935.

Sold to Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 1937, he quickly moved on to Norwich City and later played for Northwich Victoria - becoming manager at the Drill Field after World War II.

Harry also coached the Dutch side Haarlem before returning to England, joining the staff at Port Vale. 

After a stint as Crewe Alexandra manager, Ware renewed his association with Stoke City, serving as trainer, reserve coach and scout. He died in October 1970.

1980 Ian Martin born, Coleraine, Northern Ireland. (1997-2000) 

Born in Northern Ireland but emigrating with his family to Western Australia aged just one, goalkeeper Ian learnt his trade at the John Curtin College and played for Joondalup City Juniors.

Returning to his birthplace aged 15, Ian was called up to the Northern Ireland U16 side and coached by former Magpies 'keeper and manager Willie McFaul. 

Appearing in the European Championships, Martin also featured at the Milk Cup and was between the posts as his side were beaten 1-7 by Newcastle.

Returning to Australia while searching for a club in England, a trial with Darlington was fruitless but a tryout with Newcastle saw Ian snag a two year YTS deal.

Capped by Northern Ireland at youth level while at SJP and on the bench for United's first team friendly at Reading in 1999, Ian was part of a clearout in summer 2000. 

Returning to Northern Ireland and signing for Coleraine, Ian later played for Australian side Adelaide City Force but returned to England in 2004 with Conference side Leigh - deputising for ex-Toon 'keeper, injured Gary Kelly.

1981 Mark Boyd
born, Carlisle
(1996-2002)

Ball-playing midfielder who joined Newcastle as a fourteen year old schoolboy and was handed a three-year professional deal on his 17th birthday by then-boss Kenny Dalglish amid interest from Manchester United.

Described by Sir Bobby Robson as the most naturally gifted player in the club when he succeeded Ruud Gullit, Mark had fitness issues and ultimately failed to make the grade, exiting SJP in 2002.

On the recommendation of Sir Bobby, "Skip" landed a two-year deal with Port Vale (after an unsuccessful trial at Carlisle). 

Later returning to Brunton Park, Boyd also went on to play for Gretna, Macclesfield Town, Shamrock Rovers (trial), Scarborough (trial), Stockport County (trial), Accrington Stanley, Southport and Sligo Rovers.

Joining Barrow in 2008, Mark was part of the side who won the FA Trophy at Wembley in 2010, exiting Holker Street a year later.

Later moves took him to Droylsden, Harraby Catholic Club, Workington and Celtic Nation - becoming player/manager in August 2014. 

When they folded, Boyd joined Carlisle City, who took over Nation's Gilford Park ground.

He later worked as a match summariser for BBC local radio in Cumbria, covering the fortunes of Barrow AFC as they returned to the Football League.

1993 Gael Bigirimana born Bujumbura, Burundi. (2012-16)

Midfielder who moved from Burundi to England (via a spell in Uganda) as a youngster and settled with his family in the Coventry area. 

Turning up unannounced at Coventry City's training ground to request a trial when aged 11, he was reportedly sent away - only to be called back by a member of the coaching staff when they saw how fast he could run!

Returning the following day for a trial - when he admitted lying about having any playing kit or boots - Bigi made an immediate impression and signed schoolboy forms.

Later entering Coventry's youth academy, Gael signed a professional contract in the summer of 2011 and was handed his first team debut by Toon old boy Andy Thorn in the season opener against Leicester City.

United's interest in Bigi emerged in May 2012, when a bid said to be between £500K and £1m was made, although the final deal was officially for an undisclosed fee.

It was speculated that Bigi would be loaned out but after featuring in pre-season first team games, he remained in situ and a senior debut followed against Atromitos in Athens.

Making 25 first team appearances that season, he scored once with a spectacular effort in a home league win over Wigan. 

Eligible to represent England, Burundi, Rwanda and DR Congo, Gael was called up by England for the 2013 U20 World Cup Finals.

Playing in a warm-up game against Uruguay, his participation in the tournament consisted only of an 89th minute substitute appearance for the Young Lions against Iraq.

Beginning his second season as a Magpie, Bigi's fleeting international bow meant that he was given extended time off and didn't link up with the first team in pre-season.

What proved to be Bigirimana's sole senior action of the 2013/14 season was a Capital One Cup game at Morecambe, with injury limiting his availability and seeing possible loan deals abandoned as a consequence.

Appearing in first team friendlies at Oldham Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday ahead of the 2014/15 campaign, Gael continued to be excluded from the first team and a stint training with League One Yeovil Town failed to result in a loan offer.

February 2015 saw him make a surprise loan switch to Scottish side Rangers along with fellow discards Remi Streete, Haris Vuckic, Shane Ferguson and Kevin Mbabu.

However, an undisclosed medical condition prevented Bigi from playing and he was back at SJP as Steve McClaren took over.

Featuring for the first team in pre-season - including a farcical appearance in central defence against Portland Timbers - Bigi was loaned back to Coventry City.

Making a senior international debut for Burundi against DR Congo in November 2015, Gael was released from the final year of his Magpies deal the following August and promptly joined the Sky Blues.

A free agent the following summer, Gael signed for Scottish Premiership side Motherwell, moving on
to Hibernian in January 2019 but playing just once.

A brief unsuccessful spell on trial at Doncaster Rovers then followed before he signed for Solihull Moors in October 2019.

Later moves took him to Glentoran (Northern Ireland) Young Africans (Tanzania) and Dungannon Swifts (Northern Ireland).

1999 Isaac Gamblin born, sunderland.
(2016-18)
 

Defender who played for Redby Whites as a youngster subsequently linking up with United's Academy.

Named on the bench during the previous season without playing, Isaac's U18 debut was as a substitute during a 1-4 defeat at Derby County in January 2017.

Failing to make a competitive appearance for the U23s, he did feature in friendlies against Hebburn Town and Whitley Bay during 2017.

Appearing for United U18s during the 2017/18 campaign, Gamblin wasn't retained and moved on in June 2018, later playing for Consett, Washington and Easington Colliery.

As Isaac left United, younger brother Lucas - also a defender - began a scholarship.

The pair did play together for the U18s in March 2018 but won't recall the occasion fondly - a 0-7 defeat away to Everton.

Once Lucas had left Newcastle, the brothers were reunited at Washington, both moving on to Whickham in 2023.

Gaining his UEFA B qualification, Isaac joined the staff at Fast Feet Academy.

2002 Lucas De Bolle born, Edinburgh, Scotland. (2015-24) 

Joining United's Academy from Wallsend Boys Club in 2015, midfielder Lucas first appeared for the U18s in a 0-3 defeat at Manchester United in October 2018.

Turning professional the following year, his reserve bow came in a 0-1 loss to Reading at Whitley Park during December 2019.

Named on the bench for Newcastle's 1-0 Premier League home win over Aston Villa in February 2022, Lucas then featured for the first time at senior level against Bilbao in a pre-season game at SJP that July. 

Signing a new contract before spending the 2022/23 season on loan at Scottish Championship side Hamilton Academical, De Bolle was sidelined by a concussion problem and associated dizziness.

A handful of U21 games plus occasional first team bench duty the following season included the Champions League visit to Borussia Dortmund.

Lucas travelled to Australia in May 2024 for two post-season games, facing both Spurs and A-League All Stars despite a decision having already been made to release him from the club.

He reappeared that November at National League North club South Shields before making an unexpected switch to Portimonense in Portugal.

noted the awe-struck correspondent from Athletic News.

While Albert Shepherd was praised for his four goal salvo, the defensive influence of Bill McCracken was also a factor in the victory - notably his application of the offside trap.

Referee Reg Mortimer was at the centre of controversy, disallowing what would have been a Bobby Mitchell winner for ungentlemanly conduct.

Mitch shouted "right" before netting and although the he maintained that his call was to a colleague and no home player was close to him, the official ruled that his intent was to mislead an opponent. 

1949 Meanwhile, Newcastle reserves ran out 1-0 winners at Barnsley thanks to George Hannah's fifth minute effort.

The visitors were captained at Oakwell by ex-Tyke Ted Robledo, "who received a cordial reception" according to the local paper.

Curry(8,18,20,47,80)

Ahead of the Olympic Games in Melbourne the following month, a representative XI came to SJP for this Monday night floodlit kickabout.

And after notching a hat trick in a 3-1 reserve win at Blackburn the previous Saturday, Bill Curry supplied another goal-laden display.

That earned him a first team recall for the following weekend and he didn't disappoint, scoring in a 1-1 draw at Charlton.

The small Old Trafford crowd was a reflection of the fact that both sides were in the bottom half of the league.

The home side should have gone two ahead before the break but Dennis Viollet fired high and wide from the spot.

Elsewhere, the second Division match at Charlton's Valley finished 6-6 with Brian Clough netting a hat trick for the visitors Middlesbrough.

1960 A fifteen year old Bob Moncur signed apprentice professional forms with Newcastle.

Four up at the break, the Seasiders quickly added two more and had another from Les Lea ruled out.

Unbelievably, this was the only home league game that Blackpool won all season as they were relegated in 22nd and last place.

Future Bloomfield Road hero Alan Suddick was in the Newcastle side but had joined the Tangerines within two months.

A damp Wednesday night saw over 4,000 fans stay away after United's home defeat by Swansea City the previous weekend.

Those who did turn out saw senior debuts for Chris Waddle in attack and Chris Withe at left back - both youngsters who had shown good form in the reserve team.

It wasn't pretty, but Waddle showed glimpses of his skills. Remembered here.

Having overseen a League Cup home win over Sheffield United - although the Magpies went out on aggregate - caretaker boss Collin Suggett couldn't repeat the trick in his first league game in charge.

The home side included future Newcastle striking hero David Kelly in their lineup.

With the score at 0-0, both sides were forced into changes - a dazed Paul Kitson being led from the field by referee Graham Poll after 20 minutes and Owls striker David Hirst limping off soon after.

Wednesday - in a lurid yellow and purple kit - went behind when Steve Watson blasted home at the Gallowgate End via the unsuspecting Philippe Albert.

Andy Cole quickly got on the end of a Scott Sellars cross to beat Kevin Pressman again and although future Owl Pavel Srnicek gifted Ian Taylor a goal, United held firm.

Jonk(38)

Wim Jonk's goal divided the sides as an inexplicably negative United performance failed to conjure up an attack worthy of the name, never mind a threat to the PSV 'keeper. 

The most potent attack of the game came as a group of Ajax fans attempted to infiltrate the home end and were forcibly ejected.

2003 Two games on the same day for our different Reserve sides. In the Premier Reserve League North, United came from behind to beat the mackems 3-1 at New Ferens Park, Michael Chopra, Nicos Dabizas and Badley Orr the scorers.

2005 The U18s faced league leaders Leeds at Thorp Arch, with the home side looking for a fifth consecutive victory.

United's third successive league defeat was a tale of missed chances, with James Milner, Damien Duff and Obafemi Martins all equally wasteful.

Boro's Nigerian forward Yakubu was rather less profligate though, headed in a late corner to give Boro their second win over us in eleven Premiership Riverside meetings.

For the third year running Spurs left SJP on the end of a 3-1 spanking, this defeat hastening the end of Martin Jol's White Hart Lane reign.

Obafemi Martins got another against his favourite opposition, Claudio Cacapa opened his account and James Milner notched his first club goal of the season - the latter our 500th home strike in the Premier League.

Joey Barton made a belated competitive debut after recovering from a broken foot, while Chris Hughton watched on from the away dugout - within four months he'd be back at SJP on Kevin Keegan's staff.

With time running out and no sign of a breakthrough,
substitute Sylvain Marveaux set up Yohan Cabaye to notch his first goal for the club, a sweet curler at the Gallowgate End.

The three points maintained fourth place for Alan Pardew's side, who extended their unbeaten start to the season in all competitions to eleven games.

2012
A 5-1 win over Stoke City at Whitley Park sent the reserves top of the league, with the identity of one of our goalscorers the source of much attention. 

Spanish misfit Xisco rattled in a 29 minute treble, his first club goals since a reserve game in 2009. James Tavernier and Mehdi Abeid completed the rout.

Ex-Magpie Leon Best waddled around for the visitors, but a lack of match fitness saw former Tractor Boy Daryl Murphy omitted by Rafa Benitez from the home squad.

2020 Newcastle announced the signing of 23 year-old French-born attacker Florent Indalecio for the rest of the season.

He'd been on trial since August, having arrived at the urging of his former St. Etienne team mate Allan Saint-Maximin.

Following a handful of reserve outings however, Flo was told to go....
