Michael Flynn has ended speculation about his future by committing to Newport County until June 2020. Exiles’ manager Flynn has signed contract extension on the day of Newport’s Emirates FA Cup replay against Spurs at Wembley Stadium. He had been linked with the material vacancy at his former club Bradford City and said: “It’s nice […]

More than 7,000 Newport County fans will be at Wembley Stadium for their FA Cup fourth round replay against Spurs this evening (Wednesday, 7.45pm). It is a massive match for the Exiles and manager Michael Flynn says winning would be the greatest result in the club’s history. But there is also a feeling that Flynn […]

Mike Flynn reckons he would feel like retiring if his Newport County team knock Tottenham out of the FA Cup – but he would still rather promotion from League Two. The County manager takes his team to Wembley for their fourth round replay on Wednesday night, aware that a shock result would be seismic in terms of rocking football’s axis. But given the choice between stunning Spurs or leading the club into League One, Flynn would take jam tomorrow, particularly since the club have lost to both Lincoln and Colchester since drawing their initial Cup tie 1-1 at Rodney Parade.

Manager Michael Flynn is fed up that his Newport County team are conceding ‘sloppy’ goals. The Exiles lost 2-0 at Colchester United and are now 11th in League Two, seven points away from the play-off positions. Newport started well, but faded after Colchester scored. Maybe they were thinking ahead to the FA Cup fourth round […]

Newport County signed five players, but manager Michael Flynn was still ruing the one that got away. “I would have liked the one player who I was chasing for about six weeks but it wasn’t to be,” said Flynn. “He’s a regular in a Championship squad now so I knew it was going to be […]

Newport County were forced into a late team reshuffle at Sincil Bank and suffered the consequences. Defender Mark O’Brien cried off with illness just before kick-off, County changed their team shape to accommodate late call-up midfield player Matty Dolan. “Pipey was out with a hamstring injury and O’Brien was sick after we’d put the team […]

Newport County make a League Two trip to play Lincoln City tonight – and both clubs are planning for a Wembley Stadium visit.

Michael Flynn admits Newport County’s FA Cup replay against Spurs at Wembley Stadium is a ‘daunting prospect’ but he won’t be giving it a thought just yet. Manager Flynn is intent and focused on Tuesday night’s League Two clash with Lincoln City at Sincil Bank (7.45pm). Nothing else matters right now – and Flynn won’t […]

Mickey Demetriou has vowed to stick even closer to Harry Kane when Newport County go to Wembley for their FA Cup fourth round replay. The County defender left Kane for a fleeting moment during Saturday night’s epic tie at Rodney Parade and that was all it needed for the England striker to save his team from defeat with an 82nd minute equaliser. But Demetriou believes he and his teammates will have learned much from their experience in front of almost 10,000 fans and will not be daunted for their visit to the temporary home of the Premier League giants.

Michael Flynn declared himself the ‘proudest manager in the country’ after his Newport County team drew 1-1 against Harry Kane’s Spurs at Rodney Parade. County have earned a replay at Wembley Stadium and Flynn believes the FA Cup run could be worth more than £700,000 to a club whose annual turnover is £2.2m. Almost 10,000 […]

Padraig Amond insists Newport County have not given much thought to Tottenham Hotspur before their FA Cup clash at Rodney Parade – for fear of being a goal down before they start. County’s Irish striker says the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli have been far from their minds as they seek to achieve one of the greatest upsets in Welsh FA Cup history. The fourth round tie on Saturday evening may have attracted huge attention on the prospect of Spurs and their wealth of Premier League talent pitching up at one of the most notorious playing surfaces in the Football League, but Amond says the squad have not focussed on the opposition.
