Update:
"Risks
& opportunities"
Speaking during a "We are United" fan event held at the
STACK outside SJP on Wednesday evening, the club's Chief Operating Officer Brad
Miller addressed the hot topic of the future home of Newcastle United:
"It is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. Do we invest and transform St James’ as we see it
today on the site where we are? Or do we take that bold move and
think about moving?
"We want to make sure it is
a very robust process. So regardless of the outcome, I want to stand
up in front of everybody throughout the process and say, ‘This is
why it is a logical decision, with long-term competitiveness in
mind.’
"Because as you have heard a lot, it is all about revenue and
PSR. We have to work hard to make sure we give as much money as
possible to Paul (Mitchell) and the football side in order to
remain competitive on the field.
"In terms of next steps, we
are coming towards the end of the next stage, the briefing stage.
There are a lot of risks and opportunities at St James’.
"We have to take time to dig into those and make sure we’ve
got the devil in the detail — in terms of the programme, how long
it will take and what it will do for us in terms of revenue.
"We have also taken the
opportunity to look at what will a new stadium look like. It’s not
comparing apples with apples, they are not like for like. It’s
comparing apples with pears.
"The brilliant thing about
St James’ is it is in an iconic location, the atmosphere and the
competitive edge it gives the team on the pitch, and it has 52,000
seats already.
"But a new stadium doesn’t
have that and we’d have to pay for all those seats again. A new
stadium has the potential to earn a lot more, both on matchdays and
non-matchdays, a bit like STACK.
"It is giving us an indication that we can actually contribute
even more to the football club and football side if we had a new
stadium.
"The first choice is if we
stayed at St James' we have the 52,000 seats already. It comes with
significantly more money if we transform it and it will look
amazing. That's option one.
"Option two is if we were
to move away, and not too far away as we aren't going to stretch the
elastic band to the point of breaking.
"The second option we are looking at seriously as it does have
the potential to earn more than twice as much in terms of revenue,
compared to a transformation of St James' Park. And more seats, a
lot more seats potentially."
Also on stage were CEO
Darren Eales, CCO Peter Silverstone and Sporting Director Paul
Mitchell plus ex-Mags Shola Ameobi, Rob Lee and Papiss Cisse.
An informal show of hands during the event showed an overwhelming
amount of those present favouring a move to a new stadium rather
than rebuilding SJP.
Fans were invited to apply for free tickets via a club social media
announcement last Thursday (14th).
Whether those present would count as a representative selection of
the fanbase is a matter of opinion, but it wasn't restricted to
season ticket holders or members, so in theory anyone was able to
apply and attend.
U21s:
Senior
Cup progress
Newcastle U21s 5 Alnwick Town 1
Newcastle U21s began their Northumberland
Senior Cup defence with a resounding win over Alnwick Town in the Second Round at Whitley Park on Wednesday
night.
International call-ups saw a less experienced Magpies side fielded,
with debuts at this level for 18 year-olds Scott Bailey and Mo
Sedibeh.
The home side took the lead in the 20th minute when a cross from the right
was finished by Sedibeh with a low
shot from inside the six yard box.
The Northern League Second Division side levelled on 37 minutes to
the delight of their noisy travelling support, a loose ball in the
United box unwittingly diverted into his own net by defender Charlie
McArthur.
Sedibeh then got his second to restore the Magpies' lead in the
57th minute with a good run and finish.
2-1 became 3-1 three minutes later when substitute Alfie Harrison
picked his spot and a fourth Newcastle goal arrived on 69 minutes - Ellis
Stanton's shot was spilled by Matthew Alexander and Josh
Donaldson on hand to bury the rebound into the roof of the net.
Substitute Johnny Emerson grabbed United's fifth during the third
minute of time added on, rounding the 'keeper to complete the scoring.
Team: Harris, Charlton (Heffernan 83), R.Powell, Stanton,
H.Powell, McArthur, Palmer, Huntley, Donaldson, Bailey (Al.Harrison
46), Sedibeh (Emerson 83).
Subs n/u: Ad.Harrison, Munda.
Captaining Alnwick was ex- Magpie Yannick Aziakanou.
Booked: Charlton, Stanton.
ATFC: Alexander, Patterson (Payne 79), Eggleston, Iley, Laws,
Shepherd, Baston, Aziakanou (Dobie 79), Ogidan (Clark 79), Anderson
(Walker 72), Shell (Potts 72).
Subs n/u: None.
Booked: Iley, Payne.
Referee: Adam Kain.
Crowd: not given but looked around 350 on a perishing cold
night when temperatures dropped to -2.
As was the case last season, NUFC advertised free admission for
season ticket holders, but Whitley Park turnstile staff were
insistent that this was an "all pay" fixture with cash
only accepted.

Update:
Hitmen honoured
The
2024 Newcastle United Foundation Dinner took place at SJP on
Tuesday evening, with Eddie Howe, Sean Longstaff and Dan Burn among
those present.
In addition to the various community awards given out, two former
players were belatedly inducted into the club's Hall of Fame - Mick
Quinn and Len White.
Quinn hit 63 goals in 133 appearances, while 1955 FA Cup winner
White scored 153 times in 269 games - a total bettered only by
Jackie Milburn and Alan Shearer.
Internationals:
Miggy on target
Miguel Almiron (Paraguay):
Tue 19.11.2024 Bolivia (a) drew 2-2 WCQ
Miggy retained his starting place for a 64th senior cap, netting his
first international goal since June 2023.
0-1 behind at the break, Almiron's low shot from inside the box
levelled before Bolivia regained the lead in El Alto. The Newcastle
man was then replaced on 86 minutes, after his side were reduced to
10 men.
A frantic finale then saw Paraguay level during what ended up as an
additional ten minutes.
Thu 14.11.2024 Argentina (h) won 2-1 WCQ
Another start for Miggy as Paraguay came from behind to shock Argentina in
Asuncion. He was subbed in the 89th minute.
Bruno Guimaraes (Brazil):
Tue 19.11.2024 Uruguay (h) drew 1-1 WCQ
Bruno started the game in Salvador and was subbed in the 86th minute.
Thu 14.11.2024 Venezuela (a) drew 1-1 WCQ
The Newcastle midfielder was included in the starting lineup for a World Cup
Qualifier staged in Maturin, completing 82 minutes of the tie.
Alexander Isak (Sweden):
Tue 19.11.2024 Azerbaijan (h) won 6-0 NL
Isak won his 50th cap and played the full 90 minutes in Stockholm but was
unable to net for what would have been a sixth successive game for club and
country.
A frustrating evening for the striker saw a legitimate- looking strike that
would have put Sweden 4-0 ahead at half time ruled out by a VAR call, before
his penalty kick was saved early in the second period.
Sat 16.11.2024 Slovakia (h) won 2-1 NL
Missing the last two Nations League games due to injury, Alexander Isak made
up for lost time to seal promotion for Sweden in the Nations League on
Saturday night - setting up one goal and scoring the other. He played the full 90 minutes in
his home town of Stockholm.
Martin Dubravka (Slovakia):
Tue 19.11.2024 Estonia (h) won 1-0 NL
The Magpie was omitted from Tuesday's matchday squad in Trnava - not the
first time that Dubravka has had a reduced shift of this nature
internationally.
Sat 16.11.2024 Sweden (a) lost 1-2 NL
The goalkeeper was named in the starting line-up and played 90 minutes as he
completed a half-century of senior international caps.
Isaac Hayden (Jamaica):
Tue 19.11.2024 USA (a) lost 2-4 CNL
It was a case of "beat me in St. Louis" for Isaac, who made his first start for
the Reggae Boyz and completed the full 90 minutes.
Thu 14.11.2024 USA (h) lost 0-1
CNL
A full international debut aged 29 for the forgotten man of Gallowgate, eight years after his last appearance
for England U21s. Isaac arrived from the bench at half time in Kingston and
was booked.
Lewis Miley (England U21s):
Mon 18.11.2024 Netherlands (a) drew 1-1 FR
There was a first U21 start for the 18 year-old Magpie in Almere, playing in
an advanced role and completing 55 minutes - taking his leave with England
1-0 ahead.
Fri 15.11.2024 Spain (a) drew 0-0 FR
Following his elevation from the U20s to the U21s, Lewis began on the
bench against Spain at La Linea de la Concepcion. He was brought on after 68 minutes.
Leo Shahar, Sean Neave, Trevan Sanusi (Eng U18s):
Mon 18.11.2024 Germany (n) lost 0-1 FR
Another loss in Oliva for England with Leo captaining the side and Sean in
the starting line-up. Trevan appeared as a 66th minute replacement.
Fri 15.11.2024 Poland (n) lost 1-3 FR
Defeat for the U18s in the Spanish town of Oliva, with Sanusi in the
starting line-up, Neave appearing from the bench and Leo an unused
substitute.
Travis Hernes (Norway U20s):
Mon 18.11.2024 Chile (a) won 2-1 FR
The Newcastle midfielder was named in the starting line-up for this friendly
success in Santiago.
Mo Waddani (Libya U20s):
Thu 14.11.2024 Tunisia (n) lost 1-2 ACNQ
Mo was an unused substitute.
The 16 year-old Magpies winger is in the Libyan squad for a quartet of U20
African Cup of Nations qualifiers staged in Egyptian city of Ismailia.
Thu 20.11.2024 Egypt U20 (a) Ismailia ACNQ
Sun 23.11.2024 Morocco U20 (n) Ismailia ACNQ
Wed 26.11.2024 Algeria U20 (n) Ismailia ACNQ
Anthony Gordon, Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento (England)
Sun 17.11.2024 Ireland (h) won 5-0 NL
The Magpie trio all started at Wembley, both full backs completing 90
minutes as England were confirmed as Group B2 winners and sealed promotion.
Gordon played 74 minutes and marked his ninth senior England cap with a
first goal at this level, steering in after Livramento's centre wasn't
cleared properly.
Sunday was the first time that three current Newcastle players started for
England since April 1997, when David Batty, Robert Lee and Alan Shearer all
lined up against Georgia in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley.
It's also one day off 30 years since a trio of Magpies were picked for
England at Wembley; Lee joined by Steve Howey and Peter Beardsley for a
friendly match against Nigeria.
Livramento's maiden senior selection made him the 42nd player to
appear for England while a Magpie.
Thu 14.11.2024 Greece (a) won 3-0 NL
Gordon was included in the starting line-up at the Olympic Stadium in
Athens, club mate Lewis Hall arriving from the bench at half time for his maiden
senior cap.
Gordon was withdrawn after 66 minutes while fellow Magpie Tino Livramento
was an
unused substitute.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Greece):
Sun 17.11.2024 Finland (a) won 2-0 NL
The Newcastle goalkeeper won his 48th full cap and kept a clean sheet in
Helsinki.
Thu 14.11.2024 England (h) lost 0-3 NL
An unwanted mention on the scoresheet for Odysseas, who was helpless to
prevent Jude Bellingham's shot rebounding off a post and deflecting off the
United goalkeeper's back and into the Greek net.
Sandro Tonali (Italy)
Sun 17.11.2024 France (h) lost 1-3 NL
Sandro retained his place in the side on his return to the San Siro,
completing the entire game.
Thu 14.11.2024 Belgium (a) won 1-0 NL
A close range finish early on saw the United midfielder net his first senior
international goal, giving Italy victory in Brussels that confirmed their
qualification for the last eight of the Nations League.
Alex Murphy (Ireland U21s):
Sun 17.11.2024 Sweden (n) won 3-2 FR
Victory in Marbella for ex-Mag Jimmy Crawford's side, with Alex completing
the entire game.
Thu 14.11.2024 Sweden (n) lost 0-2 FR
The United defender completed the opening 78 minutes of this kickabout in
Marbella.

2024/25:
West Ham
(h)
Eddie Howe's side return to Premier
League action on Monday, hosting the Hammers in an 8pm
kick-off at SJP, live on Sky Sports.
Following wins over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Newcastle are
looking to register three successive PL victories for the first time since
September 2023.
Team: Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles
remain out, with Emil Krafth joining them on the sick list. The
availability of Kieran
Trippier is uncertain, but Callum Wilson has told fans that he's in line
to make his first appearance of the season against West Ham.
Dan Burn will serve a one match ban, while both Fabian Schar and Joelinton
are one booking off a similar fate.
Two defenders are set for appearance landmarks: Schar
is currently one game off 200 games in all competitions for the club, while
Tino Livramento will reach a half-century of league and cup
outings.
Alexander Isak will be looking to score for a fourth successive PL game and
the fifth in all competitions - both of which would be for the first time as
a Magpie.
The last Newcastle player to score in more than four successive PL games was
Joe Willock, who netted in seven successive PL appearances during 2020/21.
Along with Spurs, West Ham are Isak's most favoured opponent, netting five
times against them so far.
Callum Wilson also has five Toon strikes to his name when facing the
Hammers, but has hit half a dozen when facing both Burnley and Everton.

On This Day in History |
|
20th November |
|
Born Or Died:
1973 Death of Thomas Lowes, 81.
(1910-14)
1975 Death of Robert
Roxburgh, 78.
(1920-24)
 1978 Paul Robinson born,
s*nderland.
(1998-2000)
United boss Kenny
Dalglish did his old Anfield team mate David Hodgson a
favour back in March 1998, paying £500K to sign the two promising strikers in
his Darlington side - Robinson and James Coppinger.
Having debuted in the Quakers first team
at the age of 16, Robbo played for our reserve and junior
sides before getting his senior team chance under Ruud Gullit ahead of the
1999/00 season.
Scoring in friendly matches against Dundee United,
Reading and Stoke City, Paul's competitive debut then
came as a late substitute in our opening day home loss
to Aston Villa.
Handed a first start in the infamous monsoon derby game while messrs
Shearer and Ferguson glowered from the bench, Paul's only competitive senior goal
was a mis-hit shot from two yards out in a 2-2 home draw with CSKA Sofia.
One other notable moment came in the 8-0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday,
when he tried to grab the ball to take a penalty. Needless to say, Shearer left
him in no doubt that he wouldn't be denied one of the five he stuck past the
Owls that day....
Dropping out of the first team picture in November 1999,
Robbo made one further senior appearance, coming off the
bench in the second half of a 0-2 home defeat by
Leicester City the following April.
Wimbledon agreed to pay £1.5m for him in July 2000, but after just a handful of
games he was loaned out to Burnley three months later
and Dundee United the following year.
Brief spells playing or on trial at Blackpool, Hull, Grimsby, Carlisle,
Hartlepool, York City, St. Johnstone, Ross County, Aberdeen and
Torquay United then followed, the latter ending during 2006.
Next up was a tour of Northern League clubs, including Whitley Bay, Horden CW, Sunderland RCA and
Sunderland Nissan.
2008 then saw Robbo declared bankrupt and turning up on trial
(in a footballing sense...)
at his first club Darlington. However, he failed to impress the Quakers and was
released, next appearing for Consett.
Reduced to playing for a team in a 5 a-side league on
Wednesdays at the Crowtree Leisure Centre, 2010 then saw
Robbo attempt a further comeback.
Based in South East England, postings at Maidenhead United, Hayes & Yeading,
Hendon, Windsor & Eton, Beaconsfield SYCOB and Chesham
United followed. Paul returned to the North
East with Jarrow
Roofing in 2011, before a brief stint back
at Chesham and some time at Didcot Town.
Back in the Northern League again, he then had no less
than three separate spells at Jarrow Roofing,
interspersed with time at Newton Aycliffe, Hebburn Town and South
Shields - leaving the latter in 2015.
Robbo began the 2015/16 season in the colours of
Ashbrooke Sports Club in the sunderland Sunday League.
In July 2016 he turned out for the Pavel Srnicek
memorial game in a Newcastle XI, scoring four times in a
13-6 victory.
Despite signing for Northern League side Dunston UTS
afterwards though, Paul was never sighted in their
colours.
 1991
Grant Hanley born, Dumfries, Scotland. (2016-17) 
Newcastle's sixth signing of Summer 2016 saw them pay £5.5m
to Blackburn Rovers for their central defender and
captain.
The Scottish international signed a five-year deal
after previous bids of £3.5m and £4.5m were rejected
and made his Magpies bow during a friendly win at
Southend United.
Included in the starting line-up for United's opening day
loss at Fulham, Grant weighed in with his first goal for
the club in a memorable 6-0 win at QPR in September
2016.
However, he lost his place in the side after Jamaal Lascelles and Ciaran Clark became the first-choice
pairing of Rafa Benitez.
The pre-season acquisition of Florian Lejeune meant that
he was surplus to requirements and a move to Derby
County looked likely only for Hanley himself to reject a
move.
Despite Lejeune's injury on the opening day against Spurs
though, Hanley didn't earn a recall to the first team
squad - and would leave without making a top-flight bow.
His final game was a home League Cup loss to Nottingham Forest in August 2017 - with Norwich City beating fellow Championship side Fulham to his signature in a £4m deal.
Following promotion to the Premier League he lined up against United
two years later, as the Canaries got their first Premier League win with a comprehensive 3-1 victory.
He remained with City as they were relegated and then
promoted back to the Premier League and then relegated
again, extending his
contract to June 2025.
Beginning his
playing career
with
Queen of the South, Hanley later
joined
Crewe
Alexandra and
also spent time at Rangers before signing for Blackburn
Rovers in 2008 and making his senior debut a year
later.
Following a handful of appearances at U19 and U21 level
for Scotland, Grant made his full senior debut in May
2011 - replacing ex Magpie Gary Caldwell during a 3-0
friendly victory over Wales staged in Dublin.
Hanley featured in the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament in
Germany, playing in all three group games.

The
Magpies faced a side selected by Jimmy Thackeray at
Chester-le-Street, funds raised benefiting the
local cricket club.
Born in Hebburn, Thackeray played over 100 times for
Middlesbrough between 1904 and 1910, mostly as an outside
left.
Also playing cricket for Chester-le-Street and was the
club professional at the time of this game against the
Magpies.

The visitors arrived top of the table and in search of
a fifth successive away win, but were unable to wear down
the defensive rocks of Bill McCracken, Frank Hudspeth and

The Pilgrims made
a fruitless fifth visit to Tyneside despite taking an
early lead and protesting over a penalty award to United
late in the first half to such an extent that the referee
changed his mind.
"Bad football and bad tempers" began the
report in the Western Morning News.

The Hornets went ahead by netted one of the most blatantly offside goals
Newcastle have ever conceded.
When the ball was played forward to Michel Ngonge, he had no defender or goalkeeper between him and the goal, let alone the
requisite two.
After the match Bobby Robson expressed shock at the abuse of Alan
Shearer from home fans - sorry Bobby, but
we've known for years they were a bunch of small-town plastic
cockney barrow boy wannabes....

League One side Norwich City
confirmed that they had extended United goalkeeper Fraser
Forster's loan period at Carrow Road until the end of the season.
The 21 year-old stopper had been in good form for the Canaries,
keeping seven clean sheets and conceding just eight goals in his twelve
appearances.
Fraser also played his part in helping City win a penalty shootout against
Swindon Town in the Johnstones Paint Trophy.

One
of the results that saw Chris Hughton shown the door came
at the Reebok Stadium on a day when nothing went right.
Much pre-match hype surrounded the return of Trotters old
boy Kevin Nolan, but his first contribution to the game
was to inexplicably demonstrate his funky chicken
celebration in our box and concede a penalty for handball.
With Joey Barton and Cheick Tiote already suspended,
Fabricio Coloccini was sent off in the second half and Mike Williamson given a retrospective three match ban after his assault
on Johan Elmander was caught on camera.
