Newcastle v Man Utd: Premier League – live | Premier League

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

33 min Rashford lofts a wonderful lengthy move to launch Bruno Fernandes on the left wing. He waits for help and curls a deep cross in the direction of the onrushing Dalot, whose sidefoot volley hits Burn and loops gently into the arms of Pope.

31 min Trippier’s swirling nook is headed clear from underneath the crossbar by Varane. De Gea thought he was illegally blocked by a Newcastle participant, however the referee didn’t give something.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

8 min Schar has a shot saved by de Gea, although the whistle had already gone for one thing or different. Newcastle have began nicely.

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

33 min Rashford lofts a wonderful lengthy move to launch Bruno Fernandes on the left wing. He waits for help and curls a deep cross in the direction of the onrushing Dalot, whose sidefoot volley hits Burn and loops gently into the arms of Pope.

31 min Trippier’s swirling nook is headed clear from underneath the crossbar by Varane. De Gea thought he was illegally blocked by a Newcastle participant, however the referee didn’t give something.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

22 min It’s a press release of the offensively apparent, however United are a lot calmer, by no means thoughts higher, when Casemiro is within the staff.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

8 min Schar has a shot saved by de Gea, although the whistle had already gone for one thing or different. Newcastle have began nicely.

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

33 min Rashford lofts a wonderful lengthy move to launch Bruno Fernandes on the left wing. He waits for help and curls a deep cross in the direction of the onrushing Dalot, whose sidefoot volley hits Burn and loops gently into the arms of Pope.

31 min Trippier’s swirling nook is headed clear from underneath the crossbar by Varane. De Gea thought he was illegally blocked by a Newcastle participant, however the referee didn’t give something.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

22 min It’s a press release of the offensively apparent, however United are a lot calmer, by no means thoughts higher, when Casemiro is within the staff.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

8 min Schar has a shot saved by de Gea, although the whistle had already gone for one thing or different. Newcastle have began nicely.

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

33 min Rashford lofts a wonderful lengthy move to launch Bruno Fernandes on the left wing. He waits for help and curls a deep cross in the direction of the onrushing Dalot, whose sidefoot volley hits Burn and loops gently into the arms of Pope.

31 min Trippier’s swirling nook is headed clear from underneath the crossbar by Varane. De Gea thought he was illegally blocked by a Newcastle participant, however the referee didn’t give something.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

22 min It’s a press release of the offensively apparent, however United are a lot calmer, by no means thoughts higher, when Casemiro is within the staff.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

8 min Schar has a shot saved by de Gea, although the whistle had already gone for one thing or different. Newcastle have began nicely.

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

8 min Schar has a shot saved by de Gea, although the whistle had already gone for one thing or different. Newcastle have began nicely.

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time. Erik ten Hag has gained loads of video games at half-time this season; he has a giant 10 minutes developing.

45 min One minute of added time.

43 min After extra good play from Saint-Maximin, Isak’s shot from the sting of the world is blocked by Martinez. The crowd appealed for handball nevertheless it regarded like Martinez’s arms had been behind his again.

42 min: Chance for United! Shaw drills a right-wing nook intentionally past the far publish, the place the unmarked Antony slashes a volley over the bar. That wasn’t a foul probability.

40 min: Great probability for Willock! Newcastle are lacking some severe alternatives right here. Isak did brilliantly to kill a nothing ball on the midway line, escape Martinez and unfold the play to Saint-Maximin on the left. He bumped into the world after which squared the ball to the onrushing Willock, who blootered it over the bar from 15 yards.

39 min Antony releases Dalot on the fitting with a intelligent flick behind his standing leg. Dalot strikes ahead and curls a depraved cross that simply evades Rashford on the far publish. Trippier did nicely to ease Rashford away from the ball.

38 min: Just huge by Longstaff! I assumed that was in. The full of life Saint-Maximin crackled at a backpedalling defence earlier than taking part in a sq. move to Longstaff, 25 yards out. He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

37 min Rashford tries to play a one-two with Fernandes, who goes down within the space after a problem from behind by Schar. Stuart Attwell offers a goalkick, although it in all probability ought to have been a nook. It positively wasn’t a penalty.

36 min Here’s that early double save from David de Gea, the spotlight of the primary half to date.

35 min: Chance for Newcastle! Isak has a shot blocked desperately after a high-quality Newcatle transfer, culminating in a penetrative reverse move from Murphy.

34 min At the opposite finish Willock has one other shot blocked.

33 min Rashford lofts a wonderful lengthy move to launch Bruno Fernandes on the left wing. He waits for help and curls a deep cross in the direction of the onrushing Dalot, whose sidefoot volley hits Burn and loops gently into the arms of Pope.

31 min Trippier’s swirling nook is headed clear from underneath the crossbar by Varane. De Gea thought he was illegally blocked by a Newcastle participant, however the referee didn’t give something.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

24 min Rashford has been very quiet to date. All United’s attackers have actually, with the partial exception of Antony.

22 min Burn fouls Antony once more, and the 2 gamers briefly sq. up. Stuart Attwell offers Burn a warning.

22 min It’s a press release of the offensively apparent, however United are a lot calmer, by no means thoughts higher, when Casemiro is within the staff.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

15 min Newcastle work the ball with care and precision from left to proper. Longstaff stands up a cross that simply evades the leaping Isak.

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

14 min The full of life Antony tries to run Burn, who fouls him after which kicks him within the chest (unintentionally, I believe, though Antony doesn’t agree) as he runs previous.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date. Moments later, Weghorst screws a shot into the aspect netting from Antony’s move. It was a half probability, which stemmed from McTominay cruching Guimaraes excessive up the sphere. That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

Kick off 4.30pm.

Newcastle have been superior in each side of the sport bar the one which issues most. David de Gea made a terrific double save to disclaim Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who had one other glorious probability shortly earlier than half-time.

45 min One minute of added time.

31 min Willock’s shot from the sting of the world hits Varane and spins behind for a nook.

28 min United are having a bit extra of the ball (58 per cent within the final 10 minutes), although I can’t bear in mind the final time they pressured Nick Pope to the touch it.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out.

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

He took a contact and scorched a rising drive again throughout objective. It beat the flying de Gea and whistled this far huge.

That’s Newcastle’s ninth try at objective. United have had one, in additional methods than one.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out.

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

27 min “It really is painful as a Manchester United fan watching the team labour like this,” says Matthew Richman. “I can’t blame them – the fixture congestion is one thing but the two players brought in to manage midfield pressure (Eriksen and Casemiro) are also out. I didn’t go in today with high expectations but keeping my eyes on this is just punishing.”

26 min Rashford and Antony have switched wings. Rashford thinks he’s fouled by Burn; Stuart Attwell disagrees.

25 min Trippier lifts the ball into Guimaraes within the space. He chests it off to Murphy, who spanks a half-volley excessive and huge. Lovely play from Newcastle although.

20 min “I must say that I am impressed how similar Scott McTominay and Wout Weghorst look: both are tall, long-legged, blond and slim,” says Bogdan Kotarlic. “I often confused them while watching United games. Am I the only one who think that they almost look like twins?”

19 min: Another probability for Newcastle! Saint-Maximin’s flat cross is headed simply huge of the close to publish by the stooping Longstaff, although he might need been offside.

18 min At the opposite finish, Antony curls miles huge from the fitting aspect of the world. A poor effort, particularly as there was a sq. ball on to the unmarked McTominay.

17 min Saint-Maximin’s shot from the sting of the world is comfortably saved to his left by de Gea, who is way the busier keeper in the meanwhile.

16 min: Brilliant double save from de Gea! Newcastle actually needs to be in entrance. Murphy’s chipped cross from the fitting was headed in the direction of objective by Isak on the close to publish, with de Gea diving to his proper to push it away. The ball rebounded to Willock, who whistled a follow-up straight on the prostrate de Gea. I’d must see a replay however the second regarded like an awesome probability.

12 min Guimaraes nutmegs Weghorst 20 yards from his personal objective, prompting the lustiest roar of the day to date.

That’s a extremely intriguing contest.

11 min Newcastle proceed to make the operating, and a well timed statbox reveals they’ve had 64 per cent of the possession to date.

9 min “Just before the match, I finished listening to a podcast about Panter,” says Joe Pearson. “So to wind you up, I am indeed listening to ‘Cowboys from Hell’ on this sunny midwestern morning rather than Peter Drury. Pantera seems appropriate for Newcastle, somehow.”

7 min Newcastle nearly rating on the break. Trippier’s very deep cross is headed again throughout objective by Isak in the direction of Longstaff, who chests it down and cloths a close-range volley that’s blocked by Martinez. A goalmouth scramble ensues, and United ultimately power the ball away.

6 min Antony beats Burn via sleight of hip and performs a great move down the aspect to launch Sabitzer on the fitting aspect of the world. His low cross is crucially blocked, I believe by Botman.

5 min It’s been a full of life begin to the sport, and each groups look bang up for it. Varane nearly celebrated a second in the past when Martinez conceded a throw-in with a great deal with on Isak.

3 min Trippier’s nook is cleared on the close to publish.

2 mikn Longstaff wins an early nook off the sliding Fernandes, an early instance of the defensive work he’ll must do at present.

2 min It seems to be like McTominay is marking Guimaraes, who tends to make Newcastle tick. That’s attention-grabbing as a result of it means Fernandes and Sabitzer shall be taking part in deeper loads of the time.

1 min Peep peep! Wout Weghorst will get the match underneath method.

The gamers are prepared for enterprise. It’s a beautiful day within the north-east, and there’s a cracking environment.

The prime (of the) desk

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Newcastle are unchanged from the win at Nottingham Forest final month. Joelinton, again from suspension, is among the many substitutes.

United make three adjustments from their dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham a fortnight in the past. Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Antony are available in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who’s ailing, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho. The lesser noticed Anthony Martial is among the many substitutes.

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.

“Glad this is a 1.30am kick off down under,” writes Chris Paraskevas. “Had way too much to eat at the Leagues Club (i.e. mini-casino) and need time to digest. Settling in for a fixture that’s brought us the following ‘golden’ moments: Albert Luque’s disallowed goal, David Edgar’s ‘goal’, Nicky Butt being the most obvious Man Utd agent ever (FA Cup semi).”

As for the precise golden moments, and excluding the plain, I’ve at all times liked the creativeness and duplicity of this Keith Gillespie objective in 1994. I’m wondering if that was the second when Kevin Keegan determined he wanted to have Gillespie, no matter the price.

Life strikes fairly quick. Eighteen months in the past, Brendan Rodgers was one of many favourites for the Manchester United job.

The working man’s ballet

Hello and welcome to live protection of Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park. It’s a very long time since these golf equipment had been rivals. A short enmity peaked in a tunnel at Elland Road in 1996 and slowly pale thereafter. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer did their finest to reignite it, nevertheless it just about ended when, twenty years in the past subsequent week, Manchester United gained 6-2 at St James’ Park to finish Newcastle’s title problem. Since then, bar one excruciatingly one-sided FA Cup semi-final in 2005 and perhaps a few league video games, the groups have lived in numerous worlds.

Newcastle aren’t a wee membership within the north-east any extra; they by no means actually had been, however that’s one other story. This season they’re friends of Manchester United, combating for a similar trophies and the identical Champions League place. Both aspire to one thing even grander within the medium-term, and if United are taken over by Qatar this might even turn into the Premier League’s largest rivalry.

It’s a bit early for that, so let’s rewind to April 2023. Today’s sport, although not fairly as vital as February’s Carabao Cup closing, remains to be a giant one. Both groups are difficult with Spurs for the 2 remaining Champions League locations. Newcastle, who begin in fifth, will go above Spurs and United in the event that they win this afternoon.

The final time Newcastle had been within the prime three in April and May was, yep, 20 years in the past – a time after we had been all shifting our ft to Junior Senior, Avril Lavigne didn’t know who you had been and the 2 Uniteds had been sitting at English soccer’s prime desk.
