Ben's got me trying to look up contemporary reports on Newcastle's 1904-05 season.
Won the league and lost the cup final that year.

Following their 2-0 win at Old Trafford in December, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Manchester United since the 1930-31 campaign.
Manchester United have lost their last two away Premier League games against Newcastle, last losing three consecutive league visits to St. James’ Park between 1969 and 1970.
Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings with Manchester United in all competitions (L1), as many as they had in their previous 41 (D9 L28).
Each of Newcastle’s last eight victories over Manchester United in all competitions have been to nil – they’ve won none of their last 34 when conceding against the Red Devils (D5 L29) since a 4-3 Premier League victory in September 2001.
Victory for Newcastle would make them the fourth team to do the Premier League double over Manchester United this season, the most different sides to do so in a single top-flight campaign since 1957-58 (4).
Only Leicester City (14) and Everton (13) have failed to score in more different Premier League games this season than Manchester United (12), who have drawn a blank in their last two in the league. It’s the most times the Red Devils have failed to score in a single league season since 1989-90 (16).
Newcastle have won 11 of their last 15 Premier League games, losing the other four. Since the first game in this run (December 14th), no side have won more (Liverpool also 11).
Ruben Amorim is averaging 1.15 points-per-game in the Premier League; the only managers in Manchester United’s history to average lower than that in the top-flight (20+ games, assuming 3 pts/win all-time) are AH Albut (0.73) and Scott Duncan (1.00).
Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy has been directly involved in 19 goals in 33 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring eight and assisting 11. Only in 2015-16 with Coventry has he registered 20 goal involvements in a single campaign in his career (10 goals, 10 assists).
Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has created more chances than any player in the Premier League this season (75). It’s the fifth time he has created 75+ chances in a single season in the competition, with the only player on record (from 2003-04) to do so more times is Kevin De Bruyne (7).
