Here are the latest Newcastle United evening headlines on Thursday, September 30.
Newcastle United's simple task to avoid another painful international break
So it's back to football again as Newcastle United fans swap live courtroom streams for the away buses and a beer or two to either celebrate the Magpies' first win of the season or numb the pain of another stuttering display.
In a week in which the club's takeover hopes were either raised or dashed, depending on which side of the legal argument you are looking from, an away victory at Molineux would still lift the spirits of all connected with the black and whites.
Can Newcastle pick up their first win since May? Can they stop giving away cheap goals? Can they start showing their clinical side?
All those questions will be answered on Saturday afternoon as Newcastle boss Steve Bruce hopes for a quieter international break than last month.
Back then, on the back of stormy deadline day, a statement on the club's finances and transfer strategy was released just a few of days into the international break.
Newcastle call up teenager Lucas De Bolle to first-team training
Newcastle United have called up exciting teenager Lucas De Bolle to senior training.
The midfielder, who was one of the stars of the FA Youth Cup run to the quarter-finals last season, rubbed shoulders with stars like Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and Ciaran Clark this afternoon at Benton.
De Bolle, still just 18, was drafted in by Steve Bruce with six players on the sidelines, including Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett.
De Bolle usually operates in the centre of midfield but can play out wide on the left or right.
A senior call marks good progress for De Bolle after playing just 11 times for the Under-23s and captaining the second string in pre-season.
Bruce has included youngsters such as Joe White and Elliot Anderson in recent first team squads but it remains to be seen if De Bolle follows in their footsteps.
The timeline for a judgement on Newcastle CAT takeover case and 'inconceivable' arbitration reality
A judgement on whether the Premier League have to answer the Competition Appeal Tribunal case brought by Mike Ashley and Newcastle United will likely take 'weeks'.
Thousands of supporters tuned in on Wednesday for the jurisdiction hearing where submissions were delivered by both the Premier League and Ashley's company St James' Holdings.
Confidential details of the upcoming arbitration proceedings were discussed in private, but a date of January 3 and a timescale of a 'little over a week' gave fans a degree of transparency after months of silence.
Evidence disclosed by Daniel Jowell, representing St James' Holdings, also revealed allegations over the Premier League's 'threat' of expulsion for the Magpies and the influence of beIN SPORTS and 'major' rival clubs.
The hearing was brought to a conclusion after almost five hours of public submissions, with the tribunal panel of Mr Justice Miles, Michael Cutting and Tim Frazer retiring to consider their judgement.
No timescale was given on when this would be reached, but Newcastle fans wondering what comes next have been advised it is almost certainly a matter of weeks rather than days.
Newcastle United takeover: QC Daniel Jowell's man of the match display in CAT case woos fans
In the Premier League corner stood QC Adam Lewis, the man hailed "a leading light" in the sports sector, while in the black-and-white corner stood QC Daniel Jowell, once described a "superstar" lawyer.
Also standing by was Mike Ashley's legal eagle Nick De Marco, donning a black-and-white tie for the occasion as he spoke fleetingly but effectively.
But who came out on top?
On a day that had a big match feel to it the court room team news dropped at around 10.30am as The Honourable Mr Justice Miles, Tim Frazer and Michael Cutting were announced on the Competition Appeal Tribunal's panel.
The first half consisted of Mr Lewis trying to get his foot on the ball, so to speak, and get a grip of the game as he argued the Premier League's case that the CAT case shouldn't go ahead and the matter should be decided by arbitration.
