thoughts
from abroad
Ex-Newcastle defender Steve Caldwell is
the subject of a recent interview with football writer Zach Lowy, the first
part of which can be read online
here
(The second part of the interview will be available here on Tuesday, with
more specific NUFC content).
Loan
move:
Trotters take
Alex
Monday brought confirmation of a loan move for Magpies defender Alex
Murphy to League One side Bolton Wanderers for the remainder of the
season.
The 20 year-old Irish youth international made two substitute appearances in
the Premier League last season was on the bench for United's FA Cup Third
Round victory over Bromley earlier this month.
Alex is the second defender from the development squad to head out on loan
this month, following the departure of Charlie McArthur to Carlisle
United.
U21s:
Heed test next
Newcastle U21s play their final group game in the inaugural National League
Cup on Tuesday, crossing the Tyne to face Gateshead
at the International Stadium.
That's a 7.45pm start and tickets are on sale here
Currently sitting third in Group C with five points from
three games, United need a victory in this final group game to stand
any chance of progressing.
If the scores are level after 90 minutes, each side gains one point and a
penalty shootout will then be staged with the winner collecting a bonus
point.
The tie is available to stream free of charge (registration required) here
That's the first of two U21 games for United this week, with a PL2 home fixture against
Everton scheduled on Friday night. Kick-off is 7pm at Whitley Park.
2024/25:
Southampton
(a)
The Magpies return to action on Saturday when they visit Premier
League basement side Southampton.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm start at St. Mary's
Stadium and all 3,000 away section tickets were sold, with the away
ticket transfer scheme operating from Wednesday. Details
here
This will be United's first visit since the away section was
relocated from the North end (Northam Stand) to the South West
(Chapel/Kingsland Corner). That alteration isn't particularly on the
match tickets.
Following victories at Ipswich Town, Manchester United and
Spurs, three points here would see Newcastle win four consecutive
away games in the Premier League for the first time since October
1996.
That 12 point return came at the mackems (2-1), Spurs (2-1), Leeds
United (1-0) and Derby County (1-0).
A 0-2 reverse at Leicester City then prevented Kevin Keegan's side
from matching the five game run they had recorded in October 1994.
(The Magpies also won four consecutive Championship games on the
road in November 2016, going one better during May 2010).

SFC: Tyler Dibling has an ankle problem, joining Ross
Stewart and Jack Stephens on the injured list.
Cabaret performer and inept striker Ben Brereton Diaz has rejoined
Sheffield United on loan. What was the worst piece of playacting at
SJP since Steven Taylor was enough to see Fabian Schar dismissed in
the last meeting of these two sides.
Southampton are the lowest goalscorers in the PL (15) and the
highest shipper of goals (50).
The Saints have won just one of their 22 PL games so far this
season, a 1-0 home victory over Everton back in November. That's
their only clean sheet in 10 home fixtures, losing eight and drawing
1-1 with Ipswich.
They face Newcastle on the back of five PL losses since a 0-0 draw
at Fulham in December, their other point secured from a 1-1 draw at
Brighton in November.
Former Magpie Adam Armstrong is Southampton's joint PL top scorer to
date with two goals, one of which came from the penalty spot.
Fellow SJP old boy Ryan Fraser hasn't played since Ivan Juric was
appointed manager last month, although he doesn't appear to be
injured.

Newcastle's FA Cup opponents
Birmingham City have completed the free transfer signing for defender Grant Hanley from Championship outfit Norwich City.
The 33 year-old Scottish international played 17 times for the Magpies
during the 2016/17 Championship -winning season including three FA Cup ties - two of
which were against Birmingham City.
Hanley didn't feature for Norwich in their Third Round tie against Brighton
& Hove Albion, meaning that he's eligible to face Newcastle next month.

Youth Cup exit
Newcastle U18s 0 Aston Villa U18s 4
Newcastle U18s hosted Aston Villa in the FA Youth Cup Fourth Round at Whitley Park
on Wednesday, but were taught a lesson in clinical
finishing by the visitors.
A lightning start by Villa saw them swarm forward and Cole Brannigan
shot them ahead in only the fourth minute, pouncing after Aidan
Harris blocked Mason Cotcher's initial effort but the ball ran free.
With Trevan Sanusi in the side following his senior team debut
against Bromley, United pushed Villa back towards their own goal but
efforts from Sanusi, Sean Neave,
Joe Brayson and Michael Mills all strayed off target.
And they were made to pay for their profligacy in the 35th minute, Jack McGrath
curling a free-kick
around the wall and low inside the post to double Villa's lead.
Another incisive counter attack four minutes before the interval
brought a third goal, McGrath dashing into the box and crossing for
ex-mackem youth player Cotcher to side-foot
home.
Villa almost added a fourth on half time, Brannigan's shot from the edge of the
box hitting the outside of the post.
Ashton McWilliams escaped with only a yellow card
for a studs-up challenge on Sanusi before Brannigan lashed in his
second on 71 minutes from close range, rounding off a comprehensive
away win.
Team: Harris, Shahar, Cogdon (Johnson 89), Watts, Craggs,
Finneran (Waddani 89), Sanusi (Taylor 89), Munda, Neave, Brayson (Alabi
46), Mills (Ferreira 67).
Subs n/u: Jones, Wooster.
Crowd: 279 including Eddie Howe.

On This Day in History |
|
20th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1947 Jimmy Smith
born, Glasgow, Scotland.
(1969-76)
Signed from Aberdeen in July 1969 at a cost of £80K, "Jinky"
rapidly became the darling
of the SJP fans with his wing wizardry, including his legendary
"nutmeg" trick.
Debuting the following month in a 0-1 loss at Sheffield Wednesday, Jimmy broke
his scoring duck in a 2-1 home win over Southampton the following February.
Plagued by injuries that would eventually force him into retirement at the age
of just 29, Smith's performance in a 3-0 FA Cup win against West Bromwich
Albion in February 1974 has gone down in legend.
Adding just three international caps to the one he'd gained at Pittodrie, Jimmy
played what proved to be his last first team game for the Magpies in March
1975.
Loaned to Celtic in an attempt to overcome his fitness issues, he failed to
play a game for the hoops and called time on his career.
Turning to taxi driving on Tyneside, Smith also appeared for non-league Whitley
Bay.
He suffered a heart-attack in later years but made a good recovery after
surgery.
1948 Graham Winstanley born, Croxdale.
(1964-69)
Defender who joined United junior ranks ahead of the 1964/65
season and signed professional forms in December 1965.
Wearing contact lenses on the field and glasses off it, "Tot"
made a senior debut in a 0-3 FA Cup defeat away to Nottingham Forest
during February 1967.
His finest Magpies display came in the away leg of the Fairs Cup tie with
Sporting Lisbon in October 1968, when he deputised for the injured John McNamee
and played his part in a 1-1 draw.
Making an £8,000 switch to Carlisle United in August, Graham went on to appear
in the top-flight for the Cumbrians, also netting the winning goal in a 3-2
Anglo Italian Cup success away to Roma.
After a spell at Brighton, Tot returned to Brunton Park in 1979, later managing
Penrith.
Living in Carlisle, he worked for an electrical wholesale company.
1965 Colin Calderwood born Stranraer, Scotland. (Coach,
2009-10)
Scottish international central defender who played for
Mansfield Town, Swindon Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest
and Notts County.
Always something of a thorn in our side with some strong arm tactics and
slyness off the ball, Colin netted Swindon's winner at the
County Ground in 1993.
His assault on Keith Gillespie for Spurs at White Hart
Lane in 1998 led to his confronting away fans,
something that nowadays would have landed him with an FA charge.
Coaching at Tottenham after his playing retirement, Calderwood managed Northampton Town
between 2003 and 2006.
Succeeding Gary Megson at Nottingham Forest, he gained promotion to the
Championship in 2008 but was sacked midway through the following season.
Calderwood moved to SJP in January 2009 and quickly found himself as interim
manager Chris Hughton's number two, following the unexpected hospitalisation of
Joe Kinnear.
Remaining at the club when Alan Shearer took charge - although with no defined
role - Calderwood officially became assistant boss when Chris Hughton took the job permanently in October 2009.
However, he left in October 2010 - a clear signal that Hughton's time at SJP was limited.
Calderwood took charge of ailing SPL side
Hibernian and started with three losses before a 3-0 win at Ibrox over
Champions Rangers.
Results remained poor though and Colin was relieved of his duties in November 2011, winning
just 12 of his 49 games in charge.
Further managerial reunions with Hughton then followed at Birmingham City,
Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Leaving the Seagulls in November 2016, he assisted Steve Bruce at Aston Villa -
following him out of Villa Park in October 2018.
Serving as Cambridge United manager until January 2020, Calderwood reappeared that October on the
Blackpool coaching staff, returning to Northampton Town as
assistant boss in June 2021.
October 2023 then saw him move
on to Championship side Southampton, becoming first team coach under Saints
boss Russell Martin.
Colin then left the Saints - by then back in the Premier League - when Martin was sacked in January 2025.
1971 Peter Garland born, Croydon, Surrey. (1992)
Former England youth international midfielder Garland arrived
from Spurs in March 1992 for £35,000 - reputedly bought as a contingency in
case United were relegated and lost the likes of Gavin Peacock.
He made just a solitary senior competitive appearance for Spurs - replacing Paul Gascoigne in
a league defeat at Norwich City in April 1991.
Garland only managed three outings in our colours, all of which
were as a substitute.
After debuting in a home loss to Millwall, Garland came on against Leicester in
the infamous 2-1 Filbert Street victory.
His final appearance then saw him brought off the bench during a home victory over
Leicester City in the Anglo Italian Cup in September 1992.
Within two months Garland had returned to London with a £25K move to Charlton.
A brief loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers in 1995 was followed by a free transfer
switch to Leyton Orient the following season.
Moving into non-league with Crawley Town in 1997, Garland later appeared for Dulwich Hamlet, Croydon (where he'd begun
his career as a 15 year old) and Whyteleafe.
A second stint at Dulwich followed before a move to Erith Town. Next up was a
switch to Greenwich Borough, where Garland was made player/manager in 2006.
However, that proved to be only a fleeting appointment and after leaving Harrow
Meadow he dropped out of football.
1979 Death of Bill McCracken, nine days short of
his 96th birthday. (1904-23)
A Newcastle legend, famed for popularising the offside trap,
Bill won three League Championships and an FA Cup Winners' medal during his 19
years of service.
1982 Death of Benjamin Craig, 66. (1938-50,
1950-1982)
Joining the Magpies from Huddersfield Town in 1938, Benny
returned to SJP after serving in WW2 and resumed his playing career.
He later became a coach at Gallowgate, remaining on the club staff until his
death.
1997 James Atkinson born, South Shields.
(2013-15)
Central defender who began training with United aged 13 and
made his U18 debut in a 0-4 home defeat to Spurs in August 2012.
Winning a scholarship in 2013, injury limited Atkinson's
availability he managed only a handful of appearances over the following two
seasons.
Appearing the U21s in a friendly against non-league Heaton Stannington
in October 2014, James joined Team Northumbria on loan before
his release in 2015.
He later played for Washington, Whitley Bay and Easington Colliery.

Paul Kitson's opener was a header in the mould of the
absent Les Ferdinand.
The Trotters were prompted by Scott Sellars (well received
by home fans) and levelled before Peter Beardsley hit a
typical winner to complete a century of Newcastle goals.
The three points sent United twelve points clear of their

2005 Rumours were rife about players moving to
Tyneside with one name featuring above all others - Willie
McKay.
The player's agent loomed large in proposed moves for
Amdy Faye and Sylvain Distin while another of his clients
Laurent Robert was rumoured to be leaving.
Oh, and the Anelka link kept rumbling on.

Newcastle preserved their
unbeaten league record for 2007, but after a shambolic
opening were grateful to the unlikely figure of
referee Uriah Rennie for a point.
Rennie overruled his linesman to allow United to get one
back on the stroke of half-time and then awarded a penalty
that future Hammer, Nobby Solano, duly converted.

match report
2009
Newcastle were held 1-1 in a
behind closed doors game by League
One Carlisle United.
Steven Taylor netted as he continued his comeback, with
Joe Barton and Geremi also playing.
A trio of trialists also appeared: Danish forward Peter Lovenkrands, Hungarian winger Andras Gosztonyi and Finnish left
back Jukka Raitala. Lovenkrands would join the club but
the other pair weren't retained.
2010
Newcastle confirmed the permanent
transfer of Manchester United full back Danny Simpson.
The 23 year-old defender had just ended his loan spell at
SJP, having made 22 starts in all competitions and scored
once.

transfer fee and a two and a half year deal were claimed.
2014 Fresh from completing a league double over the
mackems, United beat them 4-0 in the
FA Youth Cup at SJP.

trick and Adam Armstrong also netted as 3,501 fans looked
on.

Aguero(34,63pen,83)

Newcastle's 21st successive failure to beat City in the Premier League
was hardly a shock, coming just three weeks after the
hosts had won at Gallowgate.
Jacob Murphy scored his first goal for the club but that
was the main positive apart from keeping the scoreline
down as Rafa's side ended the day in 15th position.
