How do we go about developing the young players at our club and is one way better than the other or does the multi pronged approach work if the timing of each is managed right? This is the written version of my Video on Monday.

After a little bit of a break here is the next instalment of This Week for Newcastle United in what was a negative weekend of results for all of our teams.

Biting February conditions swept across Gateshead as Newcastle United Women welcomed Portsmouth Women for an anticipated WSL2 encounter that felt anything but a mid‑season routine game. Newcastle are chasing down a playoff place, while Portsmouth arrived looking to pull away from the relegation zone. and fu ll of bite. In to the game and the away side with Jazz Bull picked up possession on the right and shaped a teasing cross towards the far post. It drifted over Anna Tammine

After the fall out from the Brentford game we got a much needed win away at Spurs on Tuesday as well as wins for the Lasses and U21s in the last 7 days. Here is a Quick Round round up of the week and I asked the NFTV Team and some members some second half of the season Predictions.

Part two of the week for Newcastle United focusses on the Women’s team, Academy and NFTV Focused non-league sides. It was another afternoon of frustration for the lasses as we drew 1-1 with bottom of the league Ipswich town Women. We started the game positively and Beth Lumsden scored with an outstanding goal on her 50 th  appearance for the club. I know I put it in the live updates that was an audacious shot, but I think she was just trying to put the ball in a dangerous are

This week’s week for Newcastle United will be slightly different as I split it into 2 separate articles. The first article will be about the first team, and the second part will be about the Lasses, Academy and the NFTV Focused non-league sides as well as all the tables and fixtures for the upcoming week.  Our defence of the league cup is over with a whimper as we were beaten 5-1 on aggregate last night by Manchester City. There is no shame in losing to them over two legs tha

Newcastle welcomed Ipswich to the Gateshead International Stadium this afternoon in a crucial WSL2 clash, with the Magpies aiming to consolidate their push for promotion, while the Tractor Girls fight to climb away from the bottom of the table. Tanya Oxtoby’s side were looking to build on their attacking strengths, having beaten Ipswich 4–1 in their last league meeting, under interim boss at the time, Claire Ditchburn. Both sides went into the break level after an entertaini

This is a strange week to try and write about because in the last 7 days only 1 win across all our teams but I’m feeling strangely positive after how we played in the champions league this past Wednesday. Of course, I know it’s an isolated game and with our fixture list for February (On to that later) things could change very quickly but I am very hopeful. Wednesday night started very chaotically. PSG were awarded a ridiculous Penalty, but Nick Pope served out justice with a

A Disappointing week for all our teams on the pitch this week as we had only 1 draw to show for those wearing the Newcastle United badge this week. The weekend started on Friday afternoon as Newcastle Under 21s drew away at Sunderland Under 21s 1-1 in the premier league 2. The result was an improvement on the other derby result against Middlesbrough but not enough to lift the on the pitch mood for the under 21s in what’s been a difficult season in all competitions. The Under

A meeting under the floodlights at St James’ Park always carries a certain electricity, but an FA Cup tie adds an entirely different charge. Newcastle United welcome West Ham in a fourth‑round clash that feels bigger than its bracket, with both sides desperate to turn cup ambition into something tangible. The Magpies, buoyed by a home crowd that treats the FA Cup with near‑religious devotion, and are on a great run of form, despte .not playing for four weeks since the Winter

Last night’s defeat to Manchester City was a case of what could have been but also that we were beaten by a fresher and better team on the day. We had our chances, Wissa had an opportunity, followed quicky by Bruno hitting the woodwork just before Man City’s goal which could have put a completely different spin on the game. Woltemade had a massive chance to score from a Harvey Barnes cross just needed to time his jump a bit better. Small margins throughout the game and the fa

The most important part of today’s article is, I and I’m sure everyone who has a strong and emotional connection to Newcastle United wish nothing but the best for our former player and manager Kevin Keegan as he undergoes treatment for cancer. King Kev is an absolute legend of Newcastle United and football in general and we wish him a full and speedy recovery as he battles the disease and undergoes the treatment. “I would Love it if we won 4-3, Love it” If there were ever a m

Needed a little break from the work I was doing so thought I would create a Newcastle top 10 for combined goals and assists. Obviously I know different number of games, different levels of opposition, etc means it’s not a direct comparison but just wanted to do something a little random and to keep up with covering all of the teams across my articles. The combined stats are across  all competitions and include players from the 1st team, Lasses, U21s and U18s. All my Stats com

Hope you all had a good Christmas and enjoyed the time whatever it was you were doing on the day. Only one Premier League fixture was played on Boxing Day and if you look at all the other fixtures for that “Game week” Manchester United Vs Newcastle United was always going to be the choice. We all know what the result was so me talking about the game would be a stale and there are enough opinions across the world about the game itself. Go check out all of Lee’s videos who was

Christmas is always the symbolic if not the literal halfway point of the season. I have been tracking the whole club and the number of games that have already been played for all our sides it already feels like a full season. For the men’s first team they have already played 26 competitive matches Won 12 Drew 6 Lost 8 Here is a round up of the state of play for all of our teams including… Newcastle United 1 st Team Newcastle United Women Newcastle United Under 21s Newcastle

A pre-Christmas Horror show on Derby day elevates questions about the first team, The Lasses make it 2/2 under Tanya Oxtoby, The Under 18s bounce back from their 2 nd  Vs 3 rd  defeat with 2 wins, the lasses under 21s are up an running following their league split, and the under 21s crash out of the national League cup this evening. There was nothing in the world that would have ruined my good mood and positive mindset (In my personal life) last week, but our club certainly g

Under the floodlights, Newcastle United welcomed Southampton in a WSL 2 clash that carried extra significance, as Tanya Oxtoby took her place on the touchline for the very first time as head coach. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, with the home crowd eager to see how the Magpies respond to new leadership, while Southampton arrive determined to spoil the occasion. It’s a meeting of ambition and fresh beginnings, played out on a stage that feels bigger than just th

“You put your left foot forward, your right foot back, your right foot forward and your left foot back, we finally win away but then we draw at home, that’s where were currently at.” Let’s start with the positive, Saturday’s performance against Everton was brilliant. We came flying out of the blocks and at no point in that game did I ever feel uncomfortable. Of course we were 3-0 up at half time so why would I but even when it was 1-0 I had the sense of “You know what today i

Newcastle United returned from the international break with another week of inconsistency on the pitch. We followed a brilliant victory at home to Manchester City by getting beat away at Marseille on Tuesday. There is no shame in losing an away tie in the Champions League, especially against an established European side like Marseille but the frustrating part for me is the way it happened. It never sits well with me to single out one player for the result. Anthony Gordon’s fo

While Newcastle cannot qualify, this fixture is about pride and progress. Everton, despite inconsistent form, remain favourites due to their WSL pedigree. There is no doubt The Lasses will want to impress in front of the newly appointed manager in Tanya Oxtoby, who was watching on in the fancy seats as Claire Ditchburn took charge of her last game as interim manager. At the half-hour mark, Everton struck first, they were awarded a free-kick just outside the box, Yuka Momiki
