1+ hour, 38+ min ago (1002+ words) Clubs in the Premier League just voted to amend the rulebook when it comes to financial fair play and PSR, with the introduction of a new system called Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) coming into play next season. For the last few years, Newcastle United have found themselves stifled by Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Even the massive wealth of PIF has been unable to make a real difference in the grand scheme of things. That's largely due to the fact that Newcastle's revenue is simply not high enough to truly have the financial freedom the club would like. In many ways, it's left the Magpies trailing their Big Six rivals. As part of a regular review of PSR, clubs in the Premier League recently had the chance to alter the rules and usher in a new system, for better or…...

4+ hour, 9+ min ago (358+ words) Newcastle United are back in Champions League action on Tuesday night when they head to in-form French side Marseille. Newcastle United's Champions League results have been positive this season and have helped stop the campaign'unfolding'into a full-blown crisis." Indeed, Newcastle have won three of their four games thus far and look on course to reach the play-off round at least. Eddie Howe's side sit sixth in the Champions League table heading into this week's round of fixtures and could move a step closer towards progress with three points at the Stade Velodrome. Here's everything you need to know about where to watch the game. TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 2. Coverage starts at 7pm GMT ahead of an 8pm GMT kick-off time. Supporters can follow pre-match coverage and post-match analysis with Geordie Boot Boys. By winning a league…...

19+ hour, 39+ min ago (552+ words) Getting a result and deserving a result are two very different matters, but there does appear to be an air of good fortune around Newcastle United's win over Man City this weekend. On the one hand, you have to hand it to Newcastle, with Eddie Howe playing the perfect game plan to get the better of City. Two goals from Harvey Barnes sealed the win, but it was the Magpies' impressive defensive display to restrict Erling Haaland that really paid dividends. Still, it was a game packed with contentious decisions and talking points, and former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg suggests Newcastle may well have been a little bit lucky when it comes to the decisions made. Discussing the game in the latest episode of the Beyond the Back Four podcast, Clattenburg explained why he felt that Pep Guardiola has…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (552+ words) Newcastle United's win over Manchester City saw Ruben Dias calling for a rule change. Harvey Barnes scored twice as Newcastle United beat Man City 2-1 in the Premier League to send a statement of intent. Indeed, Newcastle were brilliant against Pep Guardiola's side and really should have scored more than the two they eventually did. Dias, along with City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, were unhappy with Barnes for the second goal. The Portugal defender told Sky Sports that there should be a "new rule" after Barnes was "pushing" Donnarumma before he finished from close range after Bruno Guimaraes had kept the ball alive. However, pundit and goalkeeping expert Rob Green had a different view. Barnes'made contact with'the towering Italian following a corner, which City only'briefly'cleared. Lewis Hall headed across to Barnes, who teed up Jacob Murphy for a cross. The ball came back…...

2+ day, 13+ hour ago (378+ words) Newcastle United's win over Manchester City on Saturday came after another ineffective performance from Alexander Isak for Liverpool. Isak has still only scored one goal since leaving Newcastle United for Liverpool for a British record fee in September. Nine appearances across all competitions haven't yielded much from the most expensive player in Premier League history. Indeed, Newcastle so far look the biggest winners from the Isak saga. Replacement Nick Woltemade is one of Europe's form strikers, even if the team behind him haven't always convinced. Isak has struggled for Liverpool and could not do much to help them avoid a dismal 3-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday at Anfield." Following that defeat, Isak made some unwanted history. Isak let the Newcastle fans down when leaving the club back in September, with his money-spinning move to Anfield coming off…...

2+ day, 17+ hour ago (411+ words) Newcastle United are so far living to regret losing Callum Wilson this summer, particularly in light of Yoane Wissa's injury. Wissa was brought in to replace Wilson at Newcastle United, with Nick Woltemade replacing Alexander Isak. While Woltemade has made an impressive start to life at the club, Wissa remains injured for Newcastle United. That puts a lot of pressure on Woltemade and his continued absence is making the fact Newcastle paid so much money for a player approaching 30 look even worse. Wissa cannot be blamed of course but there's little doubt that watching Wilson shine for West Ham makes it all the more frustrating. Wilson did something he'd never done in his career on Saturday as the Hammers drew 2-2 with Bournemouth. Indeed, for the first time ever, Wilson scored against his former club. He bagged both of West Ham's…...

4+ day, 4+ hour ago (543+ words) Newcastle United said goodbye to striker Callum Wilson over the summer, but it's clear Eddie Howe still thinks highly of him. Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool dominated the headlines in Newcastle United's attack this past summer. Newcastle welcomed Nick Woltemade before Yoane Wissa came in from Brentford to complete Eddie Howe's attack. Much earlier in the window, Newcastle let Callum Wilson leave on a free transfer as his contract came to an end. Wilson had spent five years at St James' Park, but the time had come for him to move on. Wilson joined West Ham United, prolonging his Premier League career with a move to East London. Wilson looked to be out of favour under Nuno Espirito Santo, but he has now started to shine for the Hammers. The 33-year-old has now spoken to The Times about his Newcastle…...

4+ day, 20+ hour ago (468+ words) The most infuriating thing that Eddie Howe could do when Newcastle United play Manchester City on Saturday is stick with exactly the same team who lost to Brentford. Howe has been too loyal to some of his Newcastle players this season and the fact he made no unenforced changes last time out following a dismal loss at West Ham was the source of huge frustration online. Newcastle United desperately need to improve in the Premier League this season. Man'City are'perhaps the'worst team they could play right now given their ominous form but, at some point, Howe's side simply'have to'show up'regardless of who'they're'playing.' With that in mind, here's how Howe should set his Newcastle United team up against Manchester City.' The 4-3-3 system Howe has generally deployed as Newcastle United manager has brought a huge amount of success to the club. That…...

5+ day, 3+ hour ago (486+ words) Newcastle United will need all the help they can get when they take on Manchester City this weekend, but they'll be hoping the referee for the game won't be causing too much of a stir. The game on Saturday evening presents Newcastle a big opportunity to bounce back from their past two defeats, but Man City are arguably the toughest opponents the Magpies could face right now. Eddie Howe has everything against him, to be fair. Newcastle's record against Man City is poor, to say the least, but there is still a belief Newcastle can get a result and turn their season around. The game at St. James' Park will be a fascinating one regardless, and we now know who will be in charge of the game as the match officials have been revealed. The referee for Newcastle United vs…...

5+ day, 5+ hour ago (484+ words) Newcastle United are joining the race to sign Ajax teenager Jorthy Mokio amid interest from Manchester United. Recent speculation suggests that Newcastle United are looking to bring in talented youngsters for the future. Newcastle are keen on Kees Smit, and could rival Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for the AZ sensation. Club Brugge's Aleksandar Stankovic has been linked with Newcastle, while Red Bull Salzburg's Kerim Alajbegovic is another target. Newcastle want to bring in top prospects, and are now ready to battle Manchester United for another one. Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri now claims that Newcastle are interested in snapping up Ajax talent Jorthy Mokio. The 17-year-old has made eight Eredivisie appearances this season, playing as a holding midfielder or left-back. Mokio joined Ajax from Belgian side Gent in 2024, snubbing Barcelona for a move to Amsterdam. Belgian reporter…...
