Newcastle United 1-0 Rayo Vallecano LIVE (ChronicleLive)

Live build-up and match action as Newcastle United return after the winter break as they welcome Spanish side Rayo Vallecano to St James' Park for a ...

A bit of breathing room for Newcastle now as Lejeune is brought off the bench. However, neither side has enjoyed a chance in front of goal so far in the second-half. No chance for the goalkeeper. We're taking our Newcastle United podcast out on the road to a live audience! It all started with a surging run in behind by Murphy. A number of youngsters trained with the first-team this week and could be used during the friendly clash. Eddie Howe's men recorded a 5-0 victory over Al-Hilal during their warm-weather trip to Saudi Arabia and will want to keep the ball rolling ahead of competitive football returning next week. It's happening at the Tyneside Irish Centre. The defender slides in to block a cross but it's in his own net. You can do that here: The Newcastle winger left two defenders on the floor as he looked to cut inside and shoot. Howe will have one eye on Tuesday's clash with Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup but is hoping for a bumper crowd to be in attendance for today's clash with the La Liga opposition.

Newcastle United academy boss Steve Harper admits the club are well ahead of schedule after a stellar 2022 left the Magpies third in the table and dreaming ...

Harper played for Newcastle during the glory days, when the club were actively trying to be one of England's best. It kicked off between the players at the end of that Chelsea game and we'd have won the fight as well. It's been a long time since that would have been the case!” “We're ahead of schedule, last year what the manager and his staff did was incredible," he told a recent Newcastle United Supporters Trust event. Eddie Howe's side have been galvanised of late, with a positive atmosphere seen in every part of the club. The tight affair ended 1-0 before scuffles broke out between the two sides at the end.

Kennet Andersson and what might have been at Newcastle United (The Mag)

The 1992 European Championship Semi-Finals. Hosts Sweden pull another goal back against World Champions Germany. Thomas Brolin – who would make his Premier ...

A fan in a now extremely proudly worn Newcastle shirt protruded in the Rose Bowl background as the Swedes celebrated post-match. They’d already won the Cup Winners Cup in 1988 (beating Ajax) and followed that up with the European Super cup the following season. First comfortably beating Russia then against Brazil, Kennet Andersson opened the scoring with an excellently taken lob, unbecoming of the plank I’d been led to believe he was. Erasure had just had a hit with their version of Take A Chance On Me and tribute act Bjorn Again were charting with their version of an Erasure song. Unlucky not to win the home leg, going down in extra-time in the return 2-0. Romario equalised and by the end of the tournament they’d be locked on five goals apiece, behind top scorer Stoichkov. A month later when 7,000 were locked out, police forced the club to make games all-ticket. Full and current internationals were novel even in the top flight. They were once again in Europe now and would qualify again by May. The momentum was palpable. The third league game of the 1992/93 season in the second tier was against West Ham. Though Alexander Isak is on the comeback trail, I speak of another.

Joelinton and Lewis also don’t make the team as the bench is filled with only youngsters and backup keeper Mark Gillespie. Kieran Trippier and Nick Pope are shock starters as they had not been spotted in training this week. This is the somewhat surprising team Eddie Howe has named for today’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano at St.

Newcastle United journalists know nothing – The final proof (The Mag)

These past 14 months it has been growing and growing. At one time the the training ground, the playing squad, even the management / coaching staff…

On seeing the team and bench announced, obviously journalists going to the club and asking the question, with then reporting that the absence of so many players was due to a behind closed doors game on Friday. None of them knew about the behind closed doors match on Friday. You do still get some Newcastle United journalists with exclusives BUT pretty much every time this is clearly a case of the club hierarchy spoon feeding it to them. The reaction of the fans was very predictable, what the f… Out at the World Cup we have seen sickness spread through squads, including France ahead of today’s final, whilst Newcastle suffered similar before the Qatar tournament. It is also of course a pointer towards the modern day relationship in general between football (Premier League clubs in particular) and the media.
