First Anthony Gordon. Then Lewis Hall. Now Sven Botman? I have written about plenty of 'blows' during my time in the press box, and Newcastle United have again been hit hard ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. But the seemingly luckless club could yet make their own luck at Wembley.

🏟️ Newcastle United are considering options for the expansion of St James’ Park, and an all-new stadium, amid unprecedented demand for tickets. ⚫️⚪️ There’s a huge brownfield site a short walk from the city centre, but why is it not being discussed? #NUFC

It’s time for Miguel Almiron to leave Newcastle United, but the midfielder will be missed – on and off the pitch. #NUFC

Martin Dubravka was the goalkeeper we didn't know was needed at Newcastle United when he joined seven years ago. Today, he's still needed by the club as it pushes for a trophy. #NUFC

After overcoming a 'frustrating' injury, Lewis Miley's pushing for a first-team chance ahead of the busy festive period, when Eddie Howe will have to make changes. Good to speak to the Newcastle midfielder, who made an extraordinary impact last year aged 17. #NUFC

Found this in the loft. Amid talk of a rebuilt Gallowgate to rival Dortmund's 'Yellow Wall' (via @lukeedwardstele.bsky.social), this was what that end looked like for 1st game of 1992/93 season v Southend. The 28,545 gate was the biggest in England that day. Anyone else in this photo? #NUFC

Eddie Howe's facing scrutiny at Newcastle United, but the big issue isn't the club's head coach. Here's my latest newsletter (which includes Andy Woodman's view on his time at the club ahead of next month's FA Cup tie against Bromley). #NUFC

Thinking the previously unthinkable at NUFC. Aside from the cost-benefit analysis of the St James’ Park expansion/relocation decision, one phrase comes to mind: Location, location, location. #NUFC open.substack.com/pub/milessta...

Just 11 senior England caps were won by NUFC players during Mike Ashley 14 years as owner. By contrast, five Three Lions caps have been won by the club’s players in the past four days alone. #NUFC
