FA Cup:
Familiar
foes
Monday night's FA Cup Fifth Round draw paired Newcastle
once again with Manchester City, with the tie to be played at
St. James' Park over the weekend of March 7th.
A result must be reached on the day, with 30 minutes extra time
played if the score is level at 90 minutes. The tie will then be
settled via a penalty shootout if required. VAR will be in operation
for Fifth Round ties.
The draw means that United and City are set to play each other five
times this season and will meet in both domestic cup competitions
for the second time in three seasons.
The only real shock is that we're not heading back to the bloody
Etihad for the third time in barely a month....
This takes the total number of meetings between Eddie Howe and Pep
Guardiola in the last three seasons to 11 - something that is
unprecedented in the modern era.
A home tie means that Newcastle will play four times in succession
at SJP for the second time in 2026. Victory over Qarabag would then
make that five in a row, with the Magpies knowing they'll be at home
first should they progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.

Premier League:
Kavanagh QC*
* quickly cancelled
From the BBC, Monday:
Referee Chris Kavanagh and his assistant Nick Greenhalgh
have not been selected for a Premier League game this weekend.
The pair were heavily criticised for their decisions in the
fourth round FA Cup tie between Aston Villa and Newcastle United on
Saturday, in which there was no video assistant referee.
Referees' body Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) bases its
selections on factors including post-match performance assessments
conducted by an independent Key Match Incidents panel, ensuring
accountability for officials.
However, despite the criticism Kavanagh is highly regarded and
in December was promoted to Uefa's elite list of referees to join
Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor.
The other assistant at Villa Park, Gary Beswick, has been
appointed to Nottingham Forest versus Liverpool on Sunday.
Basically, a slight slap on the wrists for the pair although
Beswick escapes censure despite also missing the Jacob Murphy
assault by Lucas Digne which happened just feet (literally) away
from him.
Meanwhile, the root of all officiating evil, PGMO boss Howard Webb,
remains unanswerable to anyone. One of his advocates, ex-referee
Chris Foy, speaking on TalkSport claimed Webb is the hardest
working person he knows. That just makes his ineptitude all the
worse....
Meanwhile, Kavanagh joins his own group of elite referees; he, Uriah
Rennie, Steve Bennett, Brian Coddington and Trelford Mills as the
worst ever seen by Newcastle fans.

Saturday for
Sammy
Stoke City U18s
1 Newcastle U18s 2
Goals from Kacey Wooster and Sammy Pinnington were
enough to gave the
young Magpies their first win in three games on Saturday.
Ahead through Wooster's 32nd minute effort at Stoke's Clayton Wood
training facility, the scorer led a Newcastle charge upfield eight
minutes after the interval that ended with Pinnington claiming a
third league goal this season.
The Potters pulled one back through Pedro Nzau in the 65th minute
but United held on for victory; visiting goalkeeper George Mair
denying Finley Nixon deep into added time.
Team: Mair, Tika-Lemba, Morgan, Durrant, Epia (Bloomer 46), Taylor,
Patterson (Koussou 69), Lucas (Callaghan 90+3), Hutchinson (Ndiweni

Max Thompson (Ayr United):

Charlie McArthur (Airdrieonians):
90 minutes came at the cost of a yellow card for the defender on
Friday night in a 0-1 home defeat by St. Johnstone in the Scottish
Championship.
Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS)
A frozen pitch caused the postponement of Saturday's
Northern Premier League home game with Brighouse Town.
Joe Brayson (Morpeth Town):
The young forward's initial loan has been extended, but he
could do nothing to prevent the Highwaymen losing 0-4 at home to
Warrington Rylands in the Northern Premier League on Saturday. Joe
played for the opening 66 minutes.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
Saturday saw Antonio feature in the first half of a 1-1 draw
at Burgos in La Liga 2, a game that our man in the stand summarised
in one word, "shocking".
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
It finished 1-1 at home to Alaves in La Liga on Saturday,
with Vlachodimos between the posts and his side claiming a point
despite playing with ten men for well over an hour.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
The midfielder appeared as an 85th minute substitute at home
to Utrecht in the Eredivisie on Saturday when the score stood at
1-1. The visitors won it in time added on.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
Injury meant that the winger was unavailable for Sunday's Ligue
1 home meeting with Angers.
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
Victory for Coventry City on home territory left them top of the Championship
on Monday night. Targett started and was replaced in second half
added time as Boro lost 1-3.

You take the no road...
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Scotland head coach Steve Clarke
confirmed that Newcastle's Harvey Barnes has asked not to be
considered by him for a call-up:
"This time I can say for sure, Harvey’s going to concentrate on
trying to play for England, he’s not going to come to Scotland.
"You can put that one out there. Nobody needs to ask me or Harvey
about it any more.
"Am I disappointed? No, listen, Harvey can make up his own mind. We
move on.”
28 year-old Barnes has one senior England cap, coming off the
bench against Wales in a friendly at Wembley during October 2020.

Former Magpie Michael O'Neill has made a partial return to
club management, combining his current coaching role with Northern
Ireland with taking charge of Championship strugglers Blackburn
Rovers for the rest of the season.
Elsewhere in the Football League, Wigan Athletic have appointed
Gary Caldwell for the second time, tempting the SJP old boy away
from his current post at Exeter City.
Extending his playing career by dropping into non-league football
is Jack Colback, who has signed for Northern
Premier League Anstey Nomads.
Habib Beye has been relieved of
his managerial responsibilities at French side Rennes and Rolando
Aarons departed from National League Morecambe.
SJP old boy Yasin Ben El-Mhanni signed for Iraq
Stars League outfit Duhok SC. The 30 year-old who featured briefly
for United in the 2016/17 Championship season had most recently
played in the Baller League.

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 |

17th February |

Born Or Died:
1879
Robert McLean born, Bonhill, Scotland.
(1905-06)
Part of the Rutherglen Glencairn side
that won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1902, half back Bob was
signed from Millwall in June 1905, where he'd spent a
season.
Failing to break into the Magpies first team he left SJP in
March 1906 for Carlisle United, with Tom Wills and Alex
Findlay.
Moving to Southampton that summer, McLean's time on the
south coast ended abruptly in March 1907, when released
after breaking the club's disciplinary code about excess
drinking.
Returning to Scotland with Dumbarton, he ended his career
with Vale of Leven.
Bob's death was recorded in the Scottish town of Alexandria
during October 1936.
1915
Douglas James Smith born, Batley, Yorkshire. (1934-38)
Forward who
was an England schoolboy international and playing for Dewsbury Moor Welfare
when spotted by Huddersfield Town in 1932.
Joining the Terriers on amateur forms, Jack quickly broke through into the
first team and was sold to Newcastle at a cost of £2,500 in September 1934.
A goalscoring debut came in a 3-1 victory at Plymouth and Jack went on to be
United's top scorer for the next three seasons - although the club missed out
on promotion back to Division One.
The 1937/38 season saw Newcastle sitting at the wrong end of the table and
speculation rife that Smith would leave Tyneside for a top flight club.
Two goals against Manchester United at SJP on New Years Day proved to be his
last in a black and white shirt and within a fortnight, he'd moved to Old
Trafford for a £6,500 fee.
Scoring on his debut at Barnsley, Smith then found the net on seven other
occasions that season to help his new club gain promotion.
Remaining at Old Trafford during the war years and guesting for Burnley, Jack
subsequently appeared for Blackburn Rovers and Port Vale.
1948 found Smith with Congleton Town and two years later he joined Macclesfield Town,
serving the Silkmen as both player and Manager.
Jack passed
away in April 1975.
1972 Death of Jack
Alderson, 80.

A week after the second half snow storm
that halted the first staging on this tie, United returned to the Dell and were
soon ahead.
The 1-2 half time score gave little indication of later events however, with the
Saints then scoring twice more - and beating 'keeper Matt Kingsley on no less than
four other occasions, only to see them ruled out.

Following Newcastle's FA Cup Third round
elimination by Wolves, the Magpies visited Old Trafford for a kickabout - the
hosts also knocked out, by Portsmouth.
Former Magpie Jackie Cape netted twice against the side he'd left just weeks
earlier, but missed out on a hat-trick when his 88th minute penalty
hit the crossbar.
Team: McPhillips, Nelson, Fairhurst, Bell,
Davidson, Weaver, Gallantree, JR Richardson, Williams, Allen, Lang.
 1934
Newcastle Reserves were in Central League action at SJP against an Everton
side boasting Dixie Dean and Warney Cresswell.
Goalscorers for United in a 2-1 home win were Billy Leighton and John Kelly,
before a crowd of 18,000.
It's reported that the teams turned around at half time and resumed play
immediately, in order to help the Toffees catch an earlier train back to
Merseyside.

A frustrating afternoon at Kenilworth as United made and missed a hatful of
good chances, notably through Jimmy Kerray and Barrie Thomas. We remained in
15th place.
 1968
Celtic (Scotland) (h)
1-0 (0-0)
Friendly
Scott(88)
38,836
Our FA Cup defeat by Carlisle and Celtic's exit at the hands of Dunfermline
gave the two clubs a spare Saturday and saw this game arranged.
United's 1950's FA Cup goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson captained the hoops on his
return to Tyneside but couldn't prevent Jimmy Scott from netting a beauty at the
Leazes End.
However, things were rather less friendly in the city centre after the game, with
skirmishes between groups of fans.
The official Celtic View newspaper later ran a piece entitled "Shame
again for Celtic" in which they condemned their own travelling support
for causing trouble on Tyneside and abusing their own players and officials.

1-1 (0-1)
Division One
P30, 33pts, 6th/22
T.Hibbitt(55)

A memorable day for the Hibbitt clan at Molineux, Kenny's volleying Wolves ahead only for elder brother Terry to level with an effort that hit Derek Jefferson, en route to beating Phil Parkes in the
home goal.
Picking up a knee injury early on that needed stitches, Jimmy Smith soldiered on
past half time before being replaced by Alex Reid
He gave one of his better displays for the Magpies but would make just one more
league appearance before returning to Scotland.

The replacement of ever-present Terry Hibbitt by youngster Jamie Scott for
the trip to Filbert Street failed to prevent a nine away loss of the season and
the fourth on the bounce for Bill McGarry's side.

1993 Trialist striker Bachirou Salou
netted twice in a 4-0 home reserve win over Wolves.
The Togo-born player arrived from Borussia Mönchengladbach, but
no permanent deal was concluded. Andy Hunt and Robbie Elliott also scored.
1993 Meanwhile at Wembley Stadium, England hit six without reply to win
their World Cup Qualifier against San Marino.
Future Magpie Les Ferdinand netted, while John Barnes and David Batty were also
later to wear black and white. They were joined by SJP old boy Paul
Gascoigne - then of Lazio.

FA Cup Fifth Round
Solano(59)

The first return to SJP for Kevin Keegan as manager. Darren Huckerby also
had another game to forget on his former stamping ground, missing several
gilt-edged chances for City.
Richard Dunne was dismissed for City just before the half hour after dragging
over Craig Bellamy as he bore down on goal.
A remodelled defence including Ex-Magpie Steve Howey then failed to deal with Nobby Solano, who tipped the ball round Nicky Weaver and then
prodded it home into the empty Gallowgate goal. Magic.
In typical style the visiting fans continued with
antics seen on our last trip to Maine Road, no less than 60 City louts
barred up.

A chilly night at the Abe Lenstra Stadium, as United donned their yellow
European kit to register another victory in the Netherlands.
0-1 down at the break, the arrival of Laurent
Robert from the bench turned this tie around, the equaliser coming within
ten minutes of his replacing Shole Ameobi.
Lee Bowyer then back-heeled in the winner to spark wild celebrations, but was dismissed
soon afterwards for his second bookable offence.

Newcastle returned to the top of the Championship after
coming from behind to win their seventh successive game against the Sky Blues.
City had no answer to encouraging displays from wide men Jonas Gutierrez and
Wayne Routledge, who caused all sorts of problems as they pushed forward.
The only home player who had cause for regret was Leon Best, who came off the
bench to face his former club but spurned one good late chance to get off the
mark.

The former Cherry scored with his second touch - the third sent a corner
