What a smarmy fucking cunt do these twats in 2 weeks.

Good to see the academy teams finally winning games, seems like we’ve been shit at all age groups for years.

Young guns go four it..... Newcastle U18s 4 Everton U18s 2 United's youngsters made an encouraging start to their U18 Premier League campaign at Little Benton on Saturday, deservedly taking all three points. Sean Neave turned in the box and shot home in the 13th minute to put the hosts ahead and the striker then twice came close to another - firing just wide before being denied by 'keeper George Pickford. Neave wasn't to be denied though and latched on to Thomas Bryant's cross from the left to force the ball home at the near post within seconds of the restart. 2-0 then became 3-0 on 50 minutes; debutant Matheos Ferreira finding Byrant, whose low centre was hammered in from close range by Guy Bloomer. The Magpies were handed the chance to further increase their lead with 11 minutes of normal time remaining after Rory Powell was felled in the box - Johnny Emerson converting the penalty kick. An Everton side restricted to hopeful efforts from distance and frequently strayed into offside positions netted twice in added time - Luca Davis beating Adam Harrison with a header and the back post before fellow substitute Charlie Stewart fired home. However that failed to take the shine off a decent and committed display from the black and whites, who took five games to collect maximum points on home territory last season. Team: Harrison, R.Powell, Bryant, Munda, Milmore (Johnson 89), Watts, Bloomer (Cogden 76), O'Donovan (Durrant 89), Neave, Emerson, Ferreira (Taylor 60). Sub n/u: Harris. Booked: Watts, Neave.

. Com always have report on the u21’s and 18’s Newcastle U21s kick off their PL2 fixtures today when Southampton are the visitors to Tyneside. The Saints went in front in the first minute through Dominic Ballard and the same player doubled the advantage five minutes later. But back came United when Charlie McArthur was fouled in the box and Amadou Diallo confidently fired home the penalty on the half hour. Three minutes later Ben Parkinson finished well from inside the box to level the scores. Five minutes into first half added time the young Magpies took the lead when McArthur picked his spot and sent a rising shot into the top corner. Team: Smith, Wiggett, A.Murphy, McArthur, Savage, Carlyon, Diallo, J.Miley, Parkinson, L.Miley, De Bolle. Subs: Brown, Hackett, Turner-Cooke, Huntley, Stanton. Booked: Parkinson, Carlyon, Diallo. SFC: Mohamed, Abu (McNamara 46), Hewlett, Carson, Meghoma, Bragg, Dibling, Finnigan, Ballard, Doyle, Ehibhatiomhan. Subs: Davies, Stephen-Iwumene, Edwards, Lett. Booked: Abu, Bragg, Dibling. Referee: Garreth Rhodes. The PL2 meetings of the Saints and Magpies last season went the way of the hosts, Newcastle 3-2 winners at Whitley Park back in October.

Could see Spurs going all in for Ferguson from Brighton, hopefully Brighton string them along until deadline day and they end up with Ross Stewart.

Have a feeling at this late stage Howe will favour signing a PL ready CB like Andersen, however Tapsoba, Todibo and Silva would be the ideal long term signing at CB.

Nah be corporates they didn’t shift and folk who didn’t pass tickets on due to digital tickets.

No De Bruyne for this is a big plus.

Great atmosphere Strawberry corner has gone up another level this season.

Only 6 yoof tickets left on website now, either club have relented and selling them at box office, or it’s pocket money day.

That’ll be houses nailed on.

Would love one of the CB’s Hope linked us with yesterday. Was interesting reading that they think Todibo has the talent, but they’re not sure about his mentality. But was great reading that they’ve made enquiries and are exploring signing all these top European CB’s.

Just read that, here’s hoping Boehly really has lost the plot and they’re fucked.

Can’t see Isak not starting today no matter what the merits of playing Wilson are. I also hope we don’t start both, as it just didn’t seem to work when they started together last season.

Also a sponsors dream as train passengers would pass it en masse every day heading into Central. If they went with a design like Mercedes’ Benz with a large window, they could frame a view of the bridges and river from inside the stadium. They could build something that would be unique and best in class on that site.

Rumoured to be the racecourse site they’ve chosen.

It’s potentially a spectacular location with the river and bridges. Would also be a catalyst for huge investment in that area of the city.

The whole situation around having 100 seats empty is unacceptable. The club have just this week been on local radio talking about the problem of demand outstripping supply, yet this situation exists, it just seems like rank bad management in the ticket office for someone not to flag this up. Members have paid 37 quid for the opportunity to buy a ticket and can’t get one due to either laziness or inflexibility on someone’s part at the club. Im quite sure if Staveley and Mehrdad were made aware of this they’d be less than happy, seems like some incompetence from the Ashley regime is still lingering in parts of the club. I’m also unsure why the club haven’t put any general sale on for this match, now I believe that was a PL requirement and appears to have gone out the window.

I fucking hate Chelsea but this is a great watch.

Thousands of members unable to buy a ticket yet tickets still available in level 7. As far as I’m aware there’s no PL obligation for NUFC to have these tickets age restricted. The enlarged family enclosure is a fall out of the Mike Ashley era, and is not fit for purpose in the current climate. The club know demand is off the scale, yet have done nothing about this potential situation all summer. It would be interesting to know if this situation has been raised with the club @Greg, as it’s unacceptable to have members unable to get tickets with potential empty seats in the ground.

You could get Kephren Thuram, Manu Kone and still have change left.

Shambolic by club when people are desperate for tickets. Nothing to stop them re-categorising these to adult tickets. Trust should be all over this incompetence. I think there’ll be quite a few empty seats on Saturday ticketing is a shambles.

For a 110 million, controversial but I’d consider it.

Not so sure I think we need both and they might try to get both hopefully.

It’s Hincapie apparently to play the role Burn plays.
