Newcastle have confirmed Dylan Stephenson’s loan move to Hamilton for the remainder of the campaign. The 20-year-old links up with Lucas De Bolle, who has been on loan at Hamilton since the start of September.

Here is the official statement on Dylan’s loan move:

Newcastle United forward Dylan Stephenson has joined Scottish Championship side Hamilton Academical on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old has linked up with John Rankin’s men for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign in what will be his first temporary move away from St. James’ Park.
The young forward has been a regular for the Magpies’ under-21 side this term, netting five goals in 18 outings across all competitions.
He has also enjoyed some cameos at first team level, making his senior debut in Eddie Howe’s side’s 1-0 win over Atalanta in pre-season.
Blyth-born Stephenson also featured for United in December’s training camp in Riyadh, finding the net as Howe’s charges beat Al-Hilal 5-0 in the Diriyah Season Cup.
Fellow Magpie Lucas De Bolle is also currently on loan at the ZLX Stadium, and has made seven appearances for the Accies since his summer arrival.
Stephenson could make his debut when Hamilton travel to Partick Thistle on Saturday afternoon.

Stephenson has been in increasing promise for Newcastle’s youth sides over the past few years. He is contracted until 2024 and this is his first outing on loan. We wish him the best of luck.

In other loan news, Kell Watts has picked up another serious injury. The 23-year-old suffered a torn hamstring earlier this month during an intra-squad friendly.

The injury will keep him out for months threatening his availability for the rest of the campaign.

Pug – you can’t use metrics to say Man Utd are bad at things when we’re even worse! Man Utd won a trophy 6 or 7 years ago? It’s 54 years for us! Howe has won zero trophies I guess? Ten Hah has won quite a few. There are at least 2 players who have won trophies at Man Utd, obviously we have zero.
Whatever metric you use, Man Utd have more experience in this area.

they have no more experience in their team at winning than we do. Last time I looked, Ferguson retired and Man U did too.

Pug – de Gea won the league with Man Utd and at least 3 cups. Rashford has 3 cups. So that’s at least 2 players with experience of winning a trophy with their current team.

Pug – I asked a question. Honestly, this is a daft comparison. It’s obvious to anyone that Man Utd have more experience with their players and their staff in winning trophies. If you don’t see that, then I really can’t help you.
Have a look online and see how many trophies Ten Hag, his coaches, and the players have won.

If we can see off Southampton on Tuesday it will be an amazing thing for the younger fans. I can still remember the feeling of winning the semi final against Burnley in 74 and looking forward to that day out at Wembley. 🙂

Yes that 74 effort was not great. Super Mac promising all sorts and never got a kick. And Keegan scores ffs.
It will be different this time. We will turn up for sure

Man Utd have more experience at winning, we have more hunger. Usually the team with experience also has far better players which explains why they’re more likely to win, but due to our meteoric rise that isn’t quite the case in this instance.

Some very optimistic fans calling us better all over the pitch against manure as if it’s going to be a walkover.
Actually it will be tight.

17 February, 2023

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.

I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.

They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.

The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.

I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.

The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.

The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.

They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.

I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.

It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).

It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.

I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.

So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.

It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.

It is as it is - and another challenge in life.
