Here are your latest Newcastle United evening headlines for Wednesday, March 1.
The prize pots on offer to Newcastle United if they qualify for Champions League or Europa League
Newcastle United still have it all to play for in the remaining 15 Premier League fixtures of the season - despite the disappointment of not ending their trophy drought at Wembley at the weekend.
Winning the Carabao Cup would have shaken off the tag of bringing no silverware to the city since 1969 but in monetary terms in would have landed just £100,000. The Magpies still secured a cheque for £50,000 at Wembley despite losing 2-0 to Manchester United on cup final day.
Those fees are a drop in the ocean compared to what Newcastle are playing for now though. Regardless of not getting the joy of lifting the cup, the money men at St James' Park will be smiling if Eddie Howe's team make the top four.
Jacob Murphy's unselfish answer on lack of game-time and Newcastle's 'very special' aim for rest of season
Jacob Murphy has insisted he is not focused on his own long wait for a Premier League start with Newcastle United - insisting it is all hands on deck to reach Europe in the remainder of what can still be a "special" campaign.
The winger made some late impact in the Carabao Cup final on a day in which he played for the team he has supported since he was a boy just around the corner from where he was born near Wembley in 1995. Murphy's late effort from long range flashed wide and he managed another goal attempt in the final third, something United struggled to do at times on Sunday night.
The former Norwich star has not started a Premier League game since November and has been in the opening line-up just five times this season. When asked about if he had any personal frustrations about being his bench role this term Murphy insisted it's not about him.
Pep Guardiola sign of respect to Newcastle United when asked about netting Manchester City a treble
Pep Guardiola has dismissed talk of winning the treble with Manchester City and demanded laser-sharp focus on Newcastle United this weekend.
The former Barcelona boss was delighted with his side's attitude as they ran out 3-0 winners against Bristol City in the FA Cup to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition. Guardiola's side are still fighting on three fronts with the Champions League, the Premier League and the FA Cup up for grabs.
Guardiola paid respect to Newcastle when asked about the treble and said: "I am only thinking of winning against Newcastle - that's it. Forget about anything else, when you start talking about that, you lose competitions.
