Cup Final Agony and Injury Agony and Legal Agony and Doorbell Agony

March 28, 2024 21:28 - 51 minutes

Eddie Howe's men (the ones not on international duty at least) have taken to warmer climes as management aim to 'reset' for the final stages of an arduous campaign. The podcast team haven't had that luxury, unfortunately. We took our hopes and dreams to Kenilworth Road where things got very Newcastle cup final-y for Becky Langley's lasses. Perspective is important, though, and we take solace in meeting up with friends and the culmination of a largely magnificent season. The men take on West H...

Manchester Road Trip: 2 Meaty, 2 Furious

March 18, 2024 20:31 - 48 minutes

In an effort to recapture the magic of our (frankly) unexpectedly magnificent result at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup, Chris and George attempted to retrace their tyre-treads and summon the power of Tebay. Unfortunately, this sequel proved to be as uninspired as many Hollywood cash grabs, and our duo returned to the North East with their very damp tails between their very knackered legs. A thorough dissection of Newcastle's FA Cup exit is attempted, but meat-based diversions abound. As it i...

Up for the cup: a rousing preview of FA Cup quarter final at Manchester City

March 15, 2024 14:45 - 42 minutes

We're recording after Eddie Howe's pre-match press conference and everyone is excited about the FA Cup quarter final at the Etihad, nobody more than Chris Waugh it seems. Is there any scope for optimism going into this one with our terrible record at City? George thinks so, and he mounts a strong defence of Newcastle's local lads who have been playing through the pain in a difficult season. Whether this is the end of the road for Eddie Howe's squad in its current form is another matter, with ...

Failing to capitalise again: familiar frailties at Chelsea

March 12, 2024 21:43 - 40 minutes

Eddie Howe's Newcastle threw away any positive momentum they had built with the wins against Blackburn and Wolves with an abject defensive performance at Chelsea. Chris Waugh was at Stamford Bridge covering Newcastle for The Athletic and he recounts tales of embarrassment and woe, on and off the pitch, to Taylor Payne and George Caulkin. A daunting trip to Manchester CIty next for Howe and the boys, which we'll preview on Friday, but the lasses keep on winning (in the Midlands) Learn more abo...

How Now (to Replace Dan Ashworth)

March 07, 2024 23:20 - 47 minutes

Newcastle's outgoing Sporting Director Dan Ashworth has left a hole at the centre of his metaphorical wheel. Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and George Caulkin mangle ananalogies aplenty as they try to shed some light on the current state of affairs in the executive lounge. No association football for us until Sunday, when The LassesTM head to Stourbridge. The formbook says three points for the Mags in that one but it's not so clear for Stamford Bridge on Monday night. The fortunes of two fullback...

Howe's tactical 'tweak' serves up his 100th PL win v Wolves

March 04, 2024 16:33 - 39 minutes

What's this... a home win!? Eddie Howe's men found their SJP mojo on Saturday, inspired by the returning Joe Willock and the evergreen trio of Schar, Bruno, and Gordon... and with Isak back on the scoresheet, things are really looking up. Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead are your trio of brothers-in-arms this Monday revelling in three points, three goals, and a bench overflowing with attacking talent (alright, but you get the idea). The Lasses (TM) were three up inside fifteen m...

Confidence and cup craziness with Amber-Keegan Stobbs!

February 29, 2024 22:04 - 59 minutes

The captain of Newcastle United WFC, Amber-Keegan Stobbs, joins the pod as we dissect the FA Cup Fifth Round tie at Blackburn and relive last weekend's win over Portsmouth in the FAWNL Cup. Martin Dubravka was the undisputed hero at Ewood Park but Fabian Schar's penalty has George all confused due to its super-sexy non-twattedness and we were all mightily impressed by Elliot Anderson's first kick of a football in four months. Confidence is in short supply for the men, though, and they were sl...

Cup Final Joy for Lasses after Miserable Night at Arsenal

February 25, 2024 23:29 - 45 minutes

Taylor, George, and Chris are all a little discombobulated recording on a Sunday night (!) after a strange, terrible, lovely weekend. On Saturday night Eddie Howe's men put in one of, if not the, worst performance since he became manager. All of which left us asking various questions, like: is Sven Botman struggling with his knee, where has the 'nasty' Newcastle gone, and was there even a bus? However, as we record on Sunday evening, there's a warm glow taking over because Langley's lasses, a...

Living with the Lasses: George's BTS opus arrives

February 22, 2024 20:45 - 51 minutes

It's been several years in the making (or it feels like that, anyway) but George Caulkin's long-anticipated feature on Newcastle United's women's team has finally been published. We'll hear from some of the players on how things have changed since the takeover, their lives inside and outside football, and the excitement of playing at St James's Park (which just happens to be coming up this weekend). ...there's a quick update on Dan Ashworth's departure, and a preview of the men's game at Arse...

Unhinged Melody: Ashworth asks to leave amid more madcap football

February 19, 2024 18:01 - 55 minutes

So, it's official: Dan Ashworth has asked Newcastle United for permission to leave so he can take up a new role at Manchester United. We consider the possible terms of his departure with Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh. On the pitch, Saturday's draw at home to Bournemouth showed up the deficiencies of Eddie Howe's current set-up once again. We have another sift through the big BDB debate (the BBDBD), lament VAR delays, and just generally try to get our heads around a weird seaso...

Ashworth escalation: Manchester United target executive

February 15, 2024 21:32 - 40 minutes

Host Taylor Payne has failed to shake off a nasty, throaty cough, for another week and is thinking he will have to accommodate it indefinitely. Meanwhile, Jacob Whitehead returns to the podcast with George Caulkin seconded to a luxury spa for some rest and recuperation. There's no rest for Chris Waugh, though, with an approach for executive Dan Ashworth from Manchester United ruining an eagerly anticipated post-January lull. And, of course, there's no rest at all for Eddie Howe's injury-bligh...

Not quite motoring, but three more points on the road... times two!

February 12, 2024 18:11 - 50 minutes

Chris's first away game in a decade saw him at loggerheads with Eddie Howe; we comb the pre- and post-match press conferences, more for entertainment value than any solid info. Travel is very much on the agenda today, with Bruno's smile as wide as the Trent after he and Fabian Schar delivered three more points at the City Ground. More smiles on Sunday at Burnley as the lasses firmed up their place atop FAWNL Premier Division North, but there's one smile that George would rather forget... Lear...

Emphatic Support for Howe in our Poll

February 08, 2024 20:11 - 55 minutes

Chris Waugh has been "taking the temperature" of The Athletic's Newcastle subscribers, and the results are surprisingly optimistic given the apparent dip in performance after last season. Eddie Howe's men travel to Nottingham on Saturday, grateful for the FA Cup replay that took Forest to extra time and penalties on Wednesday night, as well as the absence of the Boxing Day Ballon d'Or, Chris Wood. It's going to be a VERY special away game, for one important reason; listen on to find out. ...a...

One four all, and format fun. Luton game (and this podcast) madder than Hatters

February 05, 2024 18:58 - 59 minutes

Saturday's game against Luton at St James's Park was truly bonkers, and George's attempt to tame the madness with a new format is going about as well as his very audible effort to herd his cats. So, instead, we've embraced the chaos. Get ready to understand less about that match after listening to this podcast. Wor Flags delivered a popular message against hostile kick-off times (and, also, Chris Waugh) on Saturday, but they doubled up with a tribute to Becky Langley on Sunday to boot. Langle...

Broken: Villa's Spell, George's Spirit

February 01, 2024 18:52 - 55 minutes

Twelve hours in a car with Luke Edwards at the end of the longest January transfer desert in living memory has put George over the top. That's bad news for all concerned, especially Chris. Taylor tries to hold it together but with very little support, not even from Jacob, it's a case of chaos winning... much like Tuesday night at Villa Park. Have Fabian Schar and the rest of Eddie Howe's corner-turning Mags set up a season-redeeming run with this magnificent victory? With additional love for ...

Yes, it exists... Newcastle reach FA Cup Fifth Round!

January 29, 2024 16:55 - 48 minutes

Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and George Caulkin (well, two of them) are in a very chipper mood despite some inclement weather, because Newcastle United won at Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round, something that simply hasn't happened at this football club in a very long time. It was a great atmosphere at Craven Cottage on Saturday night, Alan Shearer in attendance, of course, and it was just the tonic with transfer window stress and a trip to Aston Villa on the horizon. Meanwhile, the lasses book...

Relaxation of January's 'Phoney War' as Bayern withdraw

January 25, 2024 17:56 - 40 minutes

The storm has subsided somewhat, but there are still transfer rumours swirling around three or four senior Newcastle players. Will anyone truly test Newcastle's resolve and, with injuries still rife, can we risk a sale to 'unlock' potential reinforcements. The club have agreed a deal for a box-to-box midfielder in the shape of Manchester CIty's Alfie Harrison. However, is a prodigious 18 year-old intended to be used in the Premier League this season? And, with the women facing Fylde in the FA...

Trippier, Wilson, Almiron, and... Almiron!?! Transfer Storm (in a teacup?), & Lasses felled by Forest's second wind

January 22, 2024 16:21 - 47 minutes

George Caulkin was absent on Monday, but rumours of his departure from Pod on the Tyne are WAY wide of the mark... or are they?! After all, football is a lie and you never know who to believe, especially in January. Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson were both strongly linked with moves away from Newcastle in the last few days and, as we recorded, there was another story, this time connecting Miguel Almiron with a move to Saudi Arabia. Also, Miguel Almiron is reportedly on the move to Saudi Ar...

Q&A: Midfield w/o Joelinton, P&S, and 4D Chess

January 18, 2024 22:21 - 57 minutes

Eddie Howe's men are getting the weekend off, so we've opened the floor to questions and we got plenty... In no particular order: should Eddie Howe be adapting our style of play more drastically, who is going to help the midfield while we're without so many players, WHEN WILL THOSE PLAYERS RETURN(!), and are we really at the absolute limits of what we can spend on transfers? ...and, after George's late withdrawal, the mantle of getting on Chris's nerves is taken up by Jacob, Taylor, and most ...

Manchester Misery: So close... yet so far away!

January 15, 2024 17:06 - 58 minutes

Taylor Payne is joined by George Caulkin and Chris Waugh for a Manchester-holics anonymous meeting after our leading men and women were downed by the blue and red halves of the city respectively. For Eddie Howe's men, it signalled a return to something like the Newcastle United of last season. Unfortunately, it wasn't so much a Pep talk as the strength of the champions' bench that told in the end. Meanwhile, Becky Langley's NUFC Women lost their absurd unbeaten record against one of the stron...

No Taste for Accounting: Financial results and Double Manchester Weekend Preview

January 11, 2024 21:57 - 40 minutes

Jacob Whitehead returns to the podcast, albeit slightly later than scheduled, which makes it an awesome foursome as we look ahead to a HUGE weekend of football. Before that, though, Chris summarises the headlines from Newcastle United's latest financial results and the consequences for the ongoing January transfer window and beyond. A double date with destiny, then, and we're looking to the stars for some optimism as Eddie Howe's men aim to take all three points in a fixture that usually yiel...

Derby Demolition, Halifax Hammered: If Carlsberg Made Weekends...

January 08, 2024 17:27 - 1 hour

If you had designed the perfect outcome, it would have looked a lot like this. In control from the off, no dangerous moments at the back, and one-nil up at half-time before sealing it with two goals from your premium striker. Newcastle had it all their own way on the pitch, but what does it mean for the rest of the season, future derbies, and what about the celebrations? We get into that and all the rest of it with Taylor, George, and Chris. Let's not forget Sunday, either. Katie Barker notch...

From Festive Misery to Derby Fever

January 03, 2024 23:38 - 1 hour

In our last podcast we celebrated the successes of 2023 with family and friends, but the Christmas spirit has thoroughly worn off, especially with zero points from three festive Premier League fixtures. January brings new hope, then, or does it? The queue in the physio's office is still pretty lengthy, and FFP could put paid to any ideas about spending our way out of trouble. The New Year's resolution for Eddie Howe's men is as simple as it gets, win the FA Cup third round tie at Sunderland, ...

End of the Year Pod: 2023? Great, actually

December 22, 2023 19:28 - 1 hour

Once again, we assembled in Newcastle for our Christmas drinks special with the magnificent Strawberry pub playing host to an elite audience of friends, relatives, loved ones, and Others. Eddie Howe's men suffered heartbreak at Chelsea on Tuesday night, but we're banishing negativity with a look ahead to the festive fixtures and that date with Sunderland in the new year. It seems everyone associated with Newcastle United is getting a bit tired and emotional, so we also celebrate a late Thanks...

Smiley Miley inspires Full Ham win and Langley's lasses finish 2023 unbeaten

December 18, 2023 18:22 - 50 minutes

We're coming to you just 24 hours before Eddie Howe's men take on Chelsea in the Carabao Cup quarter finals and despite the best efforts of our resident gremlin, Chris Waugh. A three-nil win at home to Fulham would be a nice result under any circumstances, but after European heartbreak in midweek, and with an unwelcome setback in our previously relenting injury crisis, it was a magnificent effort. Lewis Miley got his first senior goal to break the deadlock and teammate Sean Longstaff was full...

Champions League or bust: Howe's men go out on their shields

December 14, 2023 15:35 - 49 minutes

Taylor Payne is joined by the world's unlikeliest hoody-wearer, George Caulkin, and Nostra-doofus Chris Waugh, to look back at the last emotional rollercoaster of our Champions League campaign. The Group of Death went to the death, but sadly it wasn't to be as our desire to stay in Europe's premier competition saw us concede to a Milan counter-attack and exit European competition entirely. Fulham are next and, while they have some good recent form, their away record is much like Newcastle's.....

Going South: Spurs slog makes for imperfect Milan prep

December 11, 2023 13:49 - 46 minutes

Taylor Payne and Chris Waugh are safe in the North East for our weekend review, with George Caulkin making the unexpected decision to broadcast from a building site in central London. We have another dispiriting display to look back at, with Eddie Howe's knackered Mags downed 4-1 by a Spurs side whose "injury crisis" pales by comparison. Better news from Gateshead, where Becky Langley's women made it to the fourth round of the FA Cup and a potential meeting with the big hitters of the WSL. Ne...

Blue Thursday: Can Trippier and Co. bounce back at Spurs?

December 08, 2023 14:46 - 46 minutes

The prodigal grandad returns! George Caulkin is back, which is good, because we need numbers to comfort each other with our resident Evertonian is on the smugpath. Newcastle lost at Goodison Park, deservedly so, but can we bounce back at Spurs on our own little Super Sunday? Captain Lascelles hobbled into the changing room on Thursday: hopefully Eddie Howe can get some reinforcements soon because bare bones was about five injuries ago. Chris updates us on the rehabbers... twice. And we celebr...

Another win over Man United: no big deal

December 04, 2023 17:26 - 48 minutes

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United side, with at most fourteen fit first-teamers, barely got out of second gear in beating Manchester United at St James's Park. Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead review what is now a routine scenario, consider the FA Cup draw at Sunderland, and celebrate the women's team topping the table. The men's team head to Everton on Thursday night when Jacob will be watching Anthony Gordon closely and the rest of us will be hoping Isak can recreate his freakish ...

Mardy Mardi: PSG Pick Our Pockets for Point

November 29, 2023 23:20 - 46 minutes

Taylor Payne is not a happy man; he's a bit less not happy than he was 24 hours ago, but not by much. Joining him to digest the indigestion of an ultimately unhappy evening in Paris are Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead. Kylian Mbappe's penalty rescued a point for Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League Group F, but that doesn't even begin to cover the shock of a 98th minute VAR decision that seemed impossible given what had come before. Did that moment steal the thunder of Newcastle's remarkab...

Three keepers, four Academy lads, and two grown-ups. No problem!

November 27, 2023 15:26 - 39 minutes

Newcastle's bench against Chelsea showed how many players we are missing, but that didn't seem to matter too much as Gordon, Isak and co breezed through the Blues' swiss-cheese defence at will. Lewis Miley also showed why the club's transfer policy was adapted to give him a first team squad role this season. He becomes Newcastle's youngest ever assister of a Premier League goal. Plus, there's news from the PL shareholders' meeting, 26 games unbeaten for Becky Langley's women, and our Champion...

Trees felled, Tickets PLEASE! and International Update

November 20, 2023 16:06 - 1 hour

Taylor Payne hosts an international break edition of The Athletic's Newcastle United podcast with reporters Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead, plus special guests Paul Karter and Thomas Concannon. Representing the Newcastle United Supporters Trust and the Football Supporters' Association respectively, Paul and Thomas bring their experience with fan issues to discuss the difficulties with tickets and related matters that have arisen this season. There's also news of a terrific win for Becky Lang...

Thrilling chapter ends with Bournemouth defeat but things aren't getting any easier!

November 13, 2023 21:06 - 53 minutes

Look, we're all tired. The players, the staff, the fans, even the podcasters have had enough. Defeat at Bournemouth prompted an outpouring of emotion, a cry of frustration, made more painful because the loss wasn't anybody's fault. But, with the turning of a page, can we expect a fresh burst of energy? Unfortunately, given how crowded the physio room is, and how busy the fixture list, it doesn't look like things are getting much easier any time soon. On the upside, the women's team keep churn...

Pod on the Rhine, or One Banger short of a Sausagefest

November 08, 2023 17:34 - 55 minutes

It's the morning after the night before and Taylor Payne and Chris Waugh are in Dortmund, with George Caulkin tuning in from our London bureau. Not the result we wanted from Signal Iduna Park; Newcastle started slowly and could never gain the upper hand against a Borussia side who showed their experience once again. But, let's not forget (on the second anniversary of Eddie Howe's appointment), sobering results like this are now a rarity and despite the Premier League's worst list of absences,...

Casualties & VAR: NUFC dropping like flies but can't stop winning

November 06, 2023 06:00 - 46 minutes

A (very) familiar face joins the crew to look back at another remarkable win for Eddie Howe's men, who defied a mounting injury list to deliver another home clean sheet and three points against Arsenal. An intensely fought contest didn't provide much by way of chances for either side, but Anthony Gordon's second-half strike survived three VAR investigations, provoking an as post-match rant from visiting manager Mikel Arteta. Next up, a trip to Germany and a Tuesday night teatime kick-off in a...

UNITED!!!

November 02, 2023 16:14 - 50 minutes

An epic road trip, a sensational performance by Newcastle's second (& third?) string, and a moment of pure catharsis for more than seven thousand geordies. Powered by Carabao, this is Pod on the Tyne! Valentino Livramento has started two games this season and has won the man of the match award on both occasions, but with Kieran Trippier driving Newcastle forward, how can we make better use of our starlet? There were so many magical stories, Emil Krafth's return, Gordon up top, and Lewis Hall ...

Howe's brickwork withstands Wolves... but how are the Devils?

October 30, 2023 16:00 - 44 minutes

The lads are getting used to life without Jacob, which will be the case for about ten days, and Chris is less than thrilled about having to restart work with a Caulkin road trip! Two more Callum Wilson goals brought a creditable point at Wolves but, with Eddie's Mags down to the bare bones, nerves might be jangling on the way to Old Trafford; especially if George's trip to Morrisons yields all the Carabao he's promising. Becky Langley's lasses got "League Cup week" off to a good start, though...

We'll always have Paris... Dortmund put the dampeners on our CL party

October 26, 2023 17:41 - 47 minutes

A poorly Taylor Payne holds court with Chris Waugh, George Caulkin and, for the last time in his official capacity as a full-time Newcastle reporter, Jacob Whitehead. It's no inquest, though. A physical Borussia Dortmund, with a plan, and one or two injury blows threw us slightly off our stride, which is enough to make the difference at the elite level. With Tonali's ten month ban now confirmed, we will take a depleted squad to Wolverhampton hoping for three Premier League points with no more...

Stroll through Palace on our grounds sets up Dortmund date

October 23, 2023 14:47 - 45 minutes

Taylor Payne is playing mediator, albeit not a very neutral one, with George Caulkin and Chris Waugh at loggerheads. Could it be the least interesting feud in history? Perhaps we're restless because everything is going so well on the pitch. Crystal Palace were no match for Newcastle at St James's Park on Saturday; Dortmund should provide a stiffer test on Wednesday. Becky Langley's NUFC Women also strolled to victory on Sunday and there was a heartening reception for Sandro Tonali with news i...

Tonali Update, Burnley Stalemate, & Palace Preview

October 19, 2023 17:08 - 42 minutes

We're all together again for our only podcast of the week, and our first opportunity to react to the huge news that Sandro Tonali has been implicated in an illegal betting scandal from his time in Italy. Details are emerging in waves, albeit at a hectic pace, but it looks like Tonali will face a lengthy ban from football. We consider the implications for the player himself and for the team and the club. Not many goals to talk about on the pitch: it was a slightly disappointing result for Beck...

PotT LIVE at the Gosforth Civic Theatre!

October 13, 2023 14:26 - 41 minutes

Live from the Gosforth Civic Theatre in the heart of *checks notes* Newcastle's most middle class suburb, it's our stage debut! With special guest Alan from Work(!!!!), Taylor and the boys look back at a magnificent two-year spell since the takeover and rejoice in last week's battering of Paris Saint-Germain. Please note; although a lot of saucy audience-only stuff has been removed (including the whole of part two, a live Q&A) this podcast still has some tasty language, even by our grubby sta...

"Queen" Isak wins us a point at West Ham

October 09, 2023 16:58 - 43 minutes

Full house again on our last podcast before we go live to the geordie nation at Gosforth Civic Theatre on Thursday night. Alexander Isak flipped a tired performance on its head with two goals as Eddie Howe's men came from behind to lead West Ham at the London Stadium. Unfortunately, they couldn't see out the game, but a point feels pretty good after a momentous week and we're in decent shape going into the international break. No such problems for the women's team. Bridget Galloway kept her m...

Solidarity, Mischief, and Success: PSG Obliterated

October 05, 2023 17:50 - 1 hour

Wowowowowowow! The whole team have been assembled to look back on what may be* the greatest night in Newcastle's footballing history. So, sit forward, don't relax, but do enjoy our analysis of a demolition. Luis Enrique's PSG team, featuring the world's greatest playerTM, did not know what hit them at St James's Park. From goals scored by local heroes, to incredible stories of redemption, to our club taking the most prestigious club competition of all by the scruff of the neck... we've got ev...

Burnley Dispatched; Bring On PSG

October 02, 2023 13:52 - 54 minutes

Taylor Payne brings you our Monday show with George Caulkin and Jacob Whitehead celebrating football's sexiest two words... we'll whisper them into your ear. Paris Saint-Germain getting relegated from Ligue 1 is about as likely as Jacob winning Masterchef, but Peter Rutzler, THE RELEGATOR, joins us for our Champions League preview so maybe he can help us put them into the Europe League. All that, plus the latest madcap victory in a great start to the season for NUFCW, several misguided animal...

Carabao REaction: Burst of Ferocity beats Pep

September 28, 2023 19:49 - 43 minutes

Taylor Payne reviews the Carabao Cup Third Round win over Manchester City with George Caulkin and perennial chip-pisser Chris Waugh. Eddie Howe made ten changes including a home debut for teenager Lewis Miley and, while the youngsters performed admirably, City dominated first-half possession at St James's Park. But, the game changed with half-time subs Bruno and Gordon triggering a furious burst of pressure resulting in a goal for Isak that sealed the tie. Our reward is a trip to Old Trafford...

Eighters Gonna Eight: What a Week!

September 25, 2023 15:59 - 41 minutes

Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead join Taylor Payne for a detailed breakdown of Newcastle's incredible 8-0 win at Bramall Lane. It was the club's biggest ever away win in league football and, for the first time in Premier League history, eight different players scored. Next up, the trifling matter of Manchester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup. Without anything else to be negative about, Chris rails against the concept of sponsorship.

Il Suono di Milano: The Sound of Milan

September 21, 2023 21:58 - 1 hour

21 years in the making... Newcastle returned to the Champions League and they returned to Milan. Get your headphones on for the full stereo effect as George Caulkin brings you the trip in binaural audio. ...and there's a full debrief with George, Taylor, and Chris. It was a great point, but was it a good performance? Did the decision to arrive as late as possible backfire? And is Chris getting enough sausage? We answer all these questions and more.

Back to San Siro: Newcastle Return to the Champions League

September 18, 2023 16:03 - 49 minutes

George Caulkin reports from Milan as Newcastle United return to Europe, to the Champions League, and to the San Siro with a midweek fixture away to AC Milan. Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead review three vital Premier League points after Eddie Howe's men beat Brentford again to regain some crucial momentum going into the UCL group stage. And, with George and Alan from work both suffering with amnesia, we've the best of your memories of Newcastle's past Champions League campaigns...

Milan Sandwich.... Judging the Pace Right for a Huge Week

September 13, 2023 05:00 - 48 minutes

George Caulkin and Chris Waugh join Taylor Payne for our second show of the September International Break with Jacob Whitehead incapacitated after a slight pace misjudgement in the baking North East weather on Sunday's Great North Run. There's no room for error for Eddie Howe, aka the man in black, as he readies his men for a gigantic week with crucial Premier League fixtures sandwiching a midweek trip to Milan in the Champions League. NUFC's Women have been, necessarily, flawless so far this...

Running on empty? Sir Brendan Foster re-energises the pod

September 05, 2023 11:16 - 59 minutes

After Newcastle's uncharacteristically fragile performance on Saturday, Taylor Payne analyses the defeat at Brighton with George Caulkin and Jacob Whitehead. But, if there's a better guest to put some spring back into our steps, then we don't know who it would be. Sir Brendan Foster is a titanic sporting figure and, just a few days before the 43rd Great North Run, he joins us to talk about the event's great success, Sir Bobby Robson, and doing laps of Wembley. A great start to the season for ...
