Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur for an 8th round Premier League match on Saturday 15th October 2011.

Newcastle United have got off to an excellent start in the 2011-12 season and are unbeaten in fourth place on 15 points, while Spurs have recovered from a shaky start and have won their last four consecutive Premier League matches to put them in 6th place on 12 points with a game in hand.

This will be the 147th time the two clubs have met.

The first meeting came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in February 1905 with Newcastle drawing 1-1 at White Hart Lane before winning the replay at St James' Park 4-0. To date, the clubs have met 9 times in the FA Cup.

The clubs met for the first time in the Football League in November 1909 in the First Division with Newcastle winning 1-0 at St James' Park and completing the 'double' over Spurs with a 4-0 win at White Hart Lane in March 1910.

Tottenham's first win over Newcastle came in a First Division match at White Hart Lane in November 1912 with Jimmy Cantrell scoring the only goal of the match.

There were further meetings in the First Division up to season 1933-34 with honours generally pretty even.

An FA Cup 4th round match in January 1935 was won 2-0 by Spurs at White Hart Lane with George Hunt (Spurs' record goalscorer until Bobby Smith) scoring both goals.

The next 12 meetings between the clubs came in the Second Division of the Football League either side of World War Two from 1935-36 to 1947-48. These dozen matches were the only League games contested between Spurs and Newcastle outside the Top Flight of English Football.

The 1950-51 season saw Spurs win their first Football League Championship and in the process they did the 'double' over Newcastle winning 7-0 at home and 1-0 away. The 70,336 spectators at White Hart Lane for that emphatic 7-0 win were the largest crowd at any Spurs v Newcastle fixture in history.

Spurs beat Newcastle United in the 1952 Charity Shield 2-1 at White Hart Lane with Les Bennett and Peter 'Spud' Murphy scoring the goals which won the silverware.

The first Football League Cup meeting came in the Semi-Finals in January 1976 with John Pratt scoring the winning goal at White Hart Lane in the first leg but Newcastle winning 3-1 at St James' Park despite a Don McAllister goal to advance to the Wembley Final.

Newcastle United, along with West Ham United, were the first clubs to be promoted to the Premier League for the 1993-94 season and Spurs won the first match against Newcastle in the competition 1-0 away at St James' Park with a Teddy Sheringham goal. The Magpies had their revenge at White Hart Lane in December with a 2-1 win.

An FA Cup Semi-Final at Old Trafford in April 1999 was won 2-0 by Newcastle after extra time.

Newcastle lost their Premier League status at the end of the 2008-09 season but won promotion at the first attempt managed by former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton. Hughton was sacked under contraversial circumstances in December 2010 and Alan Pardew was appointed as Newcastle's new manager.

Last season's reverse fixture at White Hart Lane on 28th December 2010 was won by Spurs 2-0 with second-half goals from Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale. The return match at St James' Park in January 2011 finished in a 1-1 draw after Fabricio Coloccini had put Newcastle ahead with a fine strike after 59 minutes only for Aaron Lennon to score deep into injury time to salvage a point for Spurs.

During the summer, Spurs signed former Newcastle player (2005-07) Scott Parker from West Ham United.

Tottenham Hotspur have won 61 of the 146 matches played so far with Newcastle United winning 54 and the remaining 31 games drawn.

Cheers for the thread 6061, and your wonderful website

Massive game of course, I'll take a point, but honestly think we have a great chance to win there. Early news suggests Demba Ba might miss the game. That will be a big boost for us, the fact that West Ham managed to get relegated with players like him and Parker in the team, shows it was a classic comedy West Ham relegation. Right up there with their one before when they managed to get relegated with about the half the England team plus other notables 'playing' for them

 

Very interesting informative thread. You've certainly done your homework.

 

Just noticed you've posted the thread twice. You need to get a mod to delete one.
