🚨🚨🚨 Newcastle United have released their 23/24 financial accounts. The headlines: Turnover: £320.3m (up from £250.3m)⏫ Commercial income: £83.6m (up from £43.9m)⏫ Matchday income: £50.1m (up from £37.9m) ⏫ #NUFC

Alexander Isak is here for this afternoon’s clash with Brighton. But will he be risked? #NUFC

Isak, Wilson, Botman, Joelinton latest in a bumper Eddie Howe update. No risks being taken with Isak's fitness at this stage of the season... #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Newcastle's task at Anfield just got a lot harder... No Alexander Isak in the squad this evening (groin) #NUFC Live coverage: www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

🚨Nigel Farage has been busy representing the people of Clacton again. Here has just declared: - £91,000 for working 4hrs per month for Mayfair based Direct Bullion. - £27,000 trip to the US for Trump inauguration. - £15,000 private jet flight to Palm Beach. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️⤵️

Newcastle are 5th, three points behind 3rd and have won 13 of their last 16. Despite some inconsistent performances, it's another reminder of the remarkable job Eddie Howe is doing without recent backing #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Four goals in 11 minutes for #NUFC. They've absolutely blown Nottingham Forest away here! www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

#NUFC a goal down but looking way more threatening than Forest in the early stages. Miley looking as composed as ever on the ball. www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

It's a blustery day on Tyneside as Forest arrive in Toon. Live coverage here as Eddie Howe makes three changes to his #NUFC XI. Sandro on the bench 🇮🇹 www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

A strong XI, with Harvey Barnes returning on the bench. Kieran Trippier returns after his strong showing vs Arsenal #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Tyneside morning, 1950, by Harry Morrison.

#MCFC have lost just one of their last 34 PL games vs #NUFC, winning last 15 in a row at the Etihad 🏟️ They've also scored in their last 32 league games NUFC - only 3 teams have had a longer scoring streak against an opponent in top flight history. So why do I feel slightly confident today?

Newcastle United have searched far and wide for attractive - and attainable - right-wing targets - but who is the strongest Premier League option? A look at the strengths and weaknesses of some of the familiar names #NUFC could move for this summer www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Agree with @aaronjstokes.bsky.social on this - makes sense for Miggy to go now, but definitely leaves Newcastle light in forward areas. Be interesting to see what loans are available... www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

“Sandro at the back, Bruno in attack…” 🎶 Newcastle’s captain is flourishing with more freedom and a new role - and the club’s attackers are benefiting 🇧🇷 #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Eddie Howe tight-lipped over potential exits - Lloyd Kelly and Miguel Almiron - after beating Wolves. Insists he has been focusing on the game and therefore doesn't have any updates. Atlanta United now look clear favourites to re-sign Almiron after Charlotte FC ended their interest #NUFC

Does the ever-present Fabian Schar face a battle to get back in this side in the short-term? Dan Burn solid yet again tonight, while Sven Botman looks to have returned without really missing a beat... #NUFC

Alexander Isak sets a new Premier League record for #NUFC after scoring in eight consecutive top flight games... £150m gets you his left-foot 🇸🇪

Live coverage from St James' Park here - with Isak, Botman, Willock and Kelly all arriving in the last few minutes #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

A thigh strain for Harvey Barnes means he will miss around a month. Picked up the issue when crossing the ball vs Bromley. Will it affect what Newcastle United do this month. Could we see Miggy stay put now? Big blow for the player who failed to take his chance in FA Cup...

Not a great first-half but much improved in the second as #NUFC progress to the next round. Thought Gordon and Bruno really helped change the game, while Miley was impressive from the start.

Some senior stars here for #NUFC this afternoon 👋👋

#NUFC will assess Sven Botman this week after the defender felt a slight issue with his groin in the win over Arsenal. Hopefully nothing more than a touch of tightness or fatigue after 180 minutes in just a few days🤞 www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Over 170 appearances for the club. If that is the end, what a way to go out. Instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League back in the day and superb over the last six weeks 👏 #NUFC

Much of the pre-match debate was which left-footed centre-back Eddie Howe would opt for in Fabian Schar's absence. Many thought it would be Lloyd Kelly but the Newcastle boss insists Sven Botman is capable. "If Sven is in the squad it's because he's ready." www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Martin Dubravka's future was a key theme of Eddie Howe's press conference this morning - and while the #NUFC boss wants to keep him at St James' Park, he did hint a Saudi exit was possible before the end of January www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

An Alexander Isak hat-trick tonight would see him match Alan Shearer for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year for #NUFC. Isak has notched 24 in the top flight across 2024, while Alan Shearer holds the record with 27 goals in 2002.

Aston Villa's last Premier League away win came back in mid-October. Their last win at St James' Park came in 2005. Their last Boxing Day away win came in 1999. #NUFC

Eddie Howe has, understandably, been extra patient and extremely careful with Sandro Tonali’s return. Speaking to the #NUFC boss last night, there was a big sense he is now ready to unleash the Italian on a more regular basis 🇮🇹 www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Sven Botman is back! The Dutchman played 60 minutes of Newcastle United's U21 win over Chelsea this evening. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 #NUFC

Ruthless Newcastle United… oh how we’ve missed you 🙏 #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Can't believe how good Lewis Hall was again today. Can't believe Chelsea didn't want him. Can't believe he cost only cost £28m. What a signing he is proving to be #NUFC

Jacob Murphy celebrates his opener by pointing to his ear before screaming "WHAT" towards the Gallowgate End. Clearly frustrated after missing chances before finding the net... #NUFC

Interesting pre-match stat... Ruud van Nistelrooy played five times at St James' Park during his career and scored on all five occasions. The joint best 100% record at a single venue [Tied with Vardy at the Hawthorns...] #NUFC

Sean Longstaff wants to stay at #NUFC amid transfer talk and only a team in or around the top half - or a surprise move to the MLS - would begin to soften that stance www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

No debt, no shareholder loans & no issues surrounding 'sustainability' - yet #NUFC are on the cusp of a third consecutive transfer window of being unable to strengthen Eddie Howe's first-team..... The rules aren't fit for purpose. www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Eddie Howe with a rather sobering assessment of January... Again stresses that if #NUFC don't sell players, they're unlikely to be busy... "I keep saying the same thing... I wouldn't expect us to be in a position to be too active in the market." #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

You can feel frustrated at Callum Wilson’s injury problems and Newcastle’s subsequent lack of options without hurling really personal insults at him by the way 👍 Fantastic servant, let down by his body. Zero excuse for #NUFC not to prioritise attacking signings next month now.

When Alan Shearer speaks, you sit up and take notice. Good analysis from @aaronjstokes.bsky.social www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

🚨 Will be going live with The Monday Show via The EIBWPodcast at 1.30pm on FB, YT and here on X. Any questions from @aaronjstokes.bsky.social regarding NUFC, drop them below or email into [email protected]

2 points from a possible 12 for Newcastle, who could drop down to 13th later tonight. Feels like any goodwill from the Liverpool draw may have already gone after that second-half display #NUFC

Big afternoon for Harvey Barnes as he gets the chance to impress from the start. Sloppy play for Brentford's second goal but he's been full of purposeful running down the left in the first-half - and took his goal very well #NUFC

Liverpool boss Arne Slot visited the referee's dressing room at HALF-TIME last night. No idea what he could have felt aggrieved about. If either manager had any right to complain, it would be Eddie Howe... #NUFC www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/footba...

Eddie Howe on Alexander Isak: "I thought that was his best performance of the season. It was a goal out of nothing for us. This season we've missed those. Those moments of magic can swing games your way." #NUFC
