News about Nick Pope

CRAIG HOPE AT GOODISON PARK: Everton consistently frustrated Newcastle to secure a point at Goodison Park on Sunday. The hosts thought they had taken the lead when Abdoulaye Doucoure rose high to head past Nick Pope but a subsequent VAR review saw the would-be opener ruled out. A moment of madness from James Tarkowski on Sandro Tonali offered the visitors a golden opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot but Jordan Pickford dived well to deny Anthony Gordon.

CRAIG HOPE AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Finally, after four matches unbeaten and with a chance to go top of the Premier League, Newcastle got the result some of their performances have perhaps deserved - a defeat. They have mugged a couple of opponents already this season and came here knowing that victory would fire them to the summit. This time, the bandits were the victims. Victims of a rampant Fulham and victims of their own mistakes. Each of Fulham's three goals came with a visiting assist. Joelinton and Fabian Schar were culpable for the first, Nick Pope for the second and Bruno Guimaraes for Fulham's clincher in stoppage-time. Individual errors, yes, but there was also a collective malaise, especially in the first half when Newcastle had no intensity, identity or ideas. Fulham, by contrast, came out all guns blazing, before Newcastle borrowed the shooters and blew their own feet off.

Newcastle may have beat Tottenham but Dan Burn will probably have a sleepless night after putting the ball in his own net during the 2-1 win at St James' Park. Spurs will come away frustrated after suffering defeat but playing well for large periods of the game. Alexander Isak secured the victory late on with a simple tap-in as the Magpies weathered a second-half storm from the visitors.

A powerfully built man who served in the US military in Afghanistan and Kuwait, and also ran anti-terrorism missions against Islamic State, Al Qaeda and Lebanese militants Hezbollah, Luis Elizondo doesn't seem like the type to scare easily. However, even he admits his 'blood ran cold' when his children reported seeing a green, glowing orb hovering in the air near them inside their family home in Maryland outside Washington DC. The three-dimensional ball was 'translucent and suffused with an eerie green light' and 'behaved as if guided by some intelligence', stopping dead still in the air before drifting off down a hallway and disappearing.

CRAIG HOPE AT THE VITALITY STADIUM - BOURNEMOUTH 1-1 NEWCASTLE: He was wearing a jumper so could not make his point about short sleeves as clearly he would have liked, but as Andoni Iraola jabbed his upper arm repeatedly, you wondered if he was about to be done with it and just punch himself in the face, such was his frustration. Indeed, the Bournemouth boss thought his team had landed a knockout blow when, with the bell about to sound, substitute Dango Ouattara turned in from a corner in the third minute of injury-time. On first viewing, you had no idea which part of his upper body the ball had come off before flying beyond Nick Pope . Even on second viewing, it was unclear. His shoulder was the most likely.

CRAIG HOPE IN GELSENKIRCHEN: Martin Dubravka says he needs to talk to Newcastle boss Eddie Howe after seeing the club sign two goalkeepers over the weekend. The 35-year-old was in action for Slovakia here in Germany on Sunday and he and his team-mates performed admirably during their 2-1 defeat by England. Dubravka had noted Newcastle's talks with Odysseas Vlachodimos earlier in the day, and the Greek stopper signed from Nottingham Forest later on Sunday evening in a deal that helped ease the club's PSR issues, with Elliot Anderson heading to the City Ground. Veteran keeper John Ruddy then joined the Magpies on a free transfer on Monday.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: Anderson is moving to Forest in a deal worth around £35million and talks are underway for Vlachodimos to go in the opposite direction. Eddie Howe is looking for competition for goalkeepers Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka. Vlachodimos joined from Benfica last summer and made five appearances for Forest last season. The 30-year-old played junior football for Germany up to Under-21 level but plays international football for Greece, winning 42 caps.

Darting silently in formation, the mysterious glowing orbs light up the night sky. Some say these orange lights even weave in between each other with the precision of a synchronised flying team from some far corner of the universe.

CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

Newcastle are interested in signing Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford as competition for Nick Pope . Mail Sport understands the 21-year-old is seen as a player who could rival their current No.1 rather than come in as a replacement, and he has admirers within St James' Park. The Magpies believe Pope is still good enough to enter next season as first choice but, wary of a recent injury record that saw him miss 23 league games last term, they are prepared to invest in another keeper this summer.

Newcastle stars Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes sang karaoke topless during the former's wedding celebrations in Brazil.  The 27-year-old winger is marrying Thays Gondim, who he has been in a relationship with since 2015, and they have three children together. Both Guimaraes and Joelinton started Newcastle's end-of-season friendly win over Tottenham Hotspur in Australia earlier this week, before leaving ahead of the Magpies' heavy defeat at the hands of A-League All Stars. 

Nick Pope has been slammed for an error which led to James Maddison 's magical opener in Newcastle's friendly against Tottenham on Wednesday. The Premier League sides made the controversial trip to Australia mere hours after their final league matches of the campaign. Both Ange Postecoglou and Eddie Howe selected strong line-ups for the match hosted at the 100,000 capacity Melbourne Cricket stadium and it was two stars players that were involved in the opening goal of the game.

The former Old Trafford favourite was taking on shot-stopping and reflexes drills with three coaches. De Gea, 33, was released by United last July and replaced by Andre Onana after 12 seasons as their first-choice goalkeeper. He has been a free agent all season but has vowed to get back into the mix and recently posted from Altrincham's training ground, saying: 'I'll be back.'

Emiliano Martinez once again showed his penalty-saving credentials as he helped Aston Villa prevail past Lille to reach the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League. Martinez saved two penalties in the shootout, including the decisive spot-kick from Benjamin Andre. The Argentina goalkeeper also saved two spot-kicks against France in the 2022 World Cup final as his nation prevailed.

Edurne Garcia, David de Gea's wife, has revealed that she and her husband 'kidnapped all their guests' at their wedding in July and put them in vans as they wanted to make their special day a 'unforgettable experience for their guests.' The 38-year-old singer and television presenter, who represented Spain in Eurovision in 2015, also spoke out about the 'fun fair, zip lines, and a foam party' for their guests. De Gea's wedding took place in the aftermath of a wage dispute between him and Manchester United. After no agreement was reached between the two teams to prolong his £375,000-per-year deal, the 33-year-old shot stopper, who had spent 12 years with the club, became a free agent.

SIMON JONES: Newcastle has Martin Dubravka as their current number one, with Nick Pope expected to return from a dislocated shoulder at the end of April. Dubravka is 35, while Pope 32 is this month, and Newcastle wants a younger alternative when they plan the next step in their recruitment process. After signing Ramsdale from Sheffield United, boss Eddie Howe is a big fan of the team. After sleeping in and missing the bus for a Carabao Cup match against Chelsea, he gave the keeper a second shot.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

De Gea, 33, is eager to return to football and could also land a large salary, with several goalkeepers playing well in their 30s. Newcastle were interested in him due to Nick Pope's long-term illness, but they would have to pay him more. Mail Sport announced in December that he would have to take a wage cut, but that would require him to be lowered.

Expected goals, or xG, have become one of the Premier League's most popular buzzwords, but some goalkeepers are better at preventing them than others. Although Liverpool may be two points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 14 games remaining, Alisson is not at the top of the table for xG saved, according to the reports. And while Everton, Burnley, and Sheffield United have all made it to the relegation ranks, it is a team with the goalkeeper who has made the fewest saves relative to the xG that has faced between the sticks.

Manchester United's Dan Ashworth has been designated as the No. 1 target in the hunt for a new sporting director. Ashworth, 52, works in Newcastle United, but it appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have chosen the man to oversee recruitment at Old Trafford. United and Newcastle are expected to reach an agreement over Ashworth by early next week, according to Mail Sport. Both sides are planning a formal approach for the sporting director, and a prompt conclusion is the preferred result.

Since being turned down earlier this week, Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has revived negotiations with Crystal Palace for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. Forest is negotiating a £15 million contract for 30-year-old Johnstone, who is keen on moving to boost his odds of returning to the England squad. Since winning his senior international debut in 2021, Johnstone has won four England caps, but he faces rivals in Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Aaron Ramsdale, and Nick Pope for a spot in Gareth Southgate's squad this summer.

The highly rated 18-year-old has excelled in City's academy, and the Magpies are now closing in on a new one. If the two sides agree to a contract, the adolescent is expected to have a medical at St James' Park in the coming days. Harrison has compared himself to City's star striker Erling Haaland for his appearance, as well as statistics and assists for the club's youth teams.

Since undergoing thigh surgery, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton will miss the bulk of the season, according to the club. During the Magpies' FA Cup win over Sunderland on January 6, the Brazilian was forced to leave. The 27-year-old had been expected to miss around six weeks, but the decision to now means the player will be out before May.

Hikers in Brazil on a family holiday managed to obtain a video of two creatures they claimed to be aliens. Sara Dalete of Braslia noticed the bizarre figures when she was with her family in Ilha do Mel. Footage of the elongated 10-foot-tall figures has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The mysterious figures appeared on a hilltop where Dalete said it wasn't possible to reach the top.'
