Carabao Cup Bonus: Relief as Newcastle Reach Last 16
November 10, 2022 12:46 - 28 minutesNewcastle United progressed to the last 16 round of the Carabao Cup, albeit playing in less impressive fashion than we're used to in this remarkable season. Understandable, perhaps, given seven changes from the last league match, but the team are through and won a penalty shoot-out at St James' Park for the first time in competitive fixtures.

The (Epic) Eddie-versary Episode
November 08, 2022 13:43 - 1 hourIt wasn't Newcastle's best performance of the season so far, but they were "ruthlessly efficient" in front of goal and ran out easy winners at Southampton. It's a mark of significant progress, since Eddie Howe took charge a year ago, that such a win could be viewed as routine. With two games to go until the World Cup break, the club is in rude health. Meanwhile, we're just rude, especially to Chris. Produced by Ollie Bellwood. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Villa battered, European dreams, and Wilson at the World Cup
October 31, 2022 14:03 - 54 minutesFresh from the 4-0 battering of Aston Villa, Taylor Payne and Athletic duo George Caulkin and Chris Waugh are here for another joy-filled edition of Pod On The Tyne, and the three of them are pinching themselves that - with a third of the season now gone - the Toon are sitting comfortably in fourth, eight points ahead of Liverpool, and with the meanest defence in the Premier League. So, dare we start to dream of a first European adventure in a decade? Gareth Southgate and Brazil manager Tite ...
Magpies Empty Tanks: Spurs Swamped
October 25, 2022 16:32 - 53 minutesOn a soaking wet Sunday afternoon in North London, Eddie Howe masterminded a 2-1 victory over Spurs built on a titanic team effort. An uncontroversial goal from Callum Wilson and yet another great strike from Miguel Almiron helped, of course, but Newcastle dominated every area of the pitch with dynamic new signings and massively improved squad players.

Mean Machine: Schar & Co Frustrate Old Trafford
October 17, 2022 21:54 - 52 minutesA goalless draw at Old Trafford saw Newcastle go out on their own as the Premier League's tightest defence. Fabian Schar played a crucial role but the whole back four, and keeper Nick Pope, were superb. Approaching the game Newcastle's CEO, Darren Eales, and Sporting Director Dan Ashworth entertained a press pool and outlined some of the finer details in the club's plans. Produced by Ollie Bellwood.

Brilliant Blonde: Bruno Bosses Brentford
October 11, 2022 11:43 - 58 minutesMiggy Almiron was on the scoresheet again as Newcastle coasted to victory against Brentford, but Bruno Guimaraes was the star of the day with two goals for him as he ran the show. We examine both players in depth, and Newcastle's overall improvement, with football statistician Kevin Lawson. Or was he? Our very own George Caulkin finally had his name up in lights as part of an elaborate pre-match display by Wor Flags celebrating the anniversay of the takeover. Still, at least it wasn't his fac...
Almiron Inspires Fulham Thrashing & Takeover Anniversary
October 05, 2022 14:09 - 1 hourNo apologies for a bumper edition this week, with the anniversary of the takeover at the forefront of our minds despite a huge win at Fulham over the weekend. Chris and Taylor review the match, George joins for a pre-recorded assessment of the club's progress, and Oli Kay tells us how Newcastle United are viewed in Saudi Arabia after his fact-finding trip.

International Incidents and Stopping Mitro at Fulham
September 27, 2022 14:24 - 58 minutesNewcastle had hoped to get a few injury problems resolved during the international break; unfortunately, it seems they've picked up a few more issues instead. Can they get three points at Craven Cottage with a depleted strike-force? They'd love to have former no. 9 Aleksandr Mitrovic, who has already scored six times in the Premier League this season...

Playing with Possession: Newcastle's New Style Needs Time
September 20, 2022 11:04 - 49 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer George Caulkin and club correspondent Chris Waugh. Newly promoted Bournemouth came to St James's Park with a predictable gameplan, but Eddie Howe's Newcastle side were unable to break down the low block despite having the lion's share of possession. We examine our own frustration and try to figure out if it's justified. It was a similar story for Newcastle's women at Kingston Park, Chorley providing a stumbling block on...
An Eddie Howe Special!
September 14, 2022 15:15 - 48 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast alongside The Athletic's George Caulkin and Chris Waugh. Ten months since he arrived at Newcastle and ahead of his former club's visit to St James' Park on Saturday, we're focusing this week on Eddie Howe. Steady Eddie's turned around performances and results, fostered an 'us against them' mentality, and readily admits that he's fallen in love with the place. What a guy. Ahmed Shooble, The Athletic's Bournemouth reporter, joins us to dis...
VAR Crash: Newcastle Need to Turn Performances into Points
September 05, 2022 16:08 - 48 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer (and VERY secret agent) George Caulkin, and club correspondent Chris Waugh. As much as we didn't want to, we had to talk about the Video Assistant Referee. On a dismal weekend for match officials we were deprived of a much-desired three points against Palace and there were similar problems for the women's team. With tensions running high, even the prospect of a Sam Fender gig at St James's Park wasn't enough to prevent ...
Bonus Ep: Anfield Fallout and Transfer Deadline
September 02, 2022 15:41 - 40 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer George Caulkin and club correspondent Chris Waugh. The transfer deadline has passed with no significant last-minute incomings. Are the Premier League's "higher ups" starting to play hardball with us in the market? Of course, just a week ago the club broke their record transfer fee to bring in Swedish striker Alexander Isak, and he showed real quality on debut at Anfield (there was a bit of hardball on show there, as wel...
Unbeaten with Isak Incoming and Langley's Ambition
August 30, 2022 11:13 - 57 minutesTaylor Payne DOESN'T host your go-to Newcastle United podcast, so you're stuck with Senior Writer George Caulkin and club correspondent Chris Waugh. They are still unbeaten in the Premier League, but Newcastle are feeling the effects of a bruising few days, so wd welcome the news of a club record signing in Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak. Becky Langley's women's team are also unbeaten and George spoke to the now-full-time manager about her hopes for this season now they are formally int...
Literally Buzzing: Man City Mayhem with Lynsey Hipgrave
August 23, 2022 18:49 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer George Caulkin, club correspondent Chris Waugh, and special guest Lynsey Hipgrave. Eddie Howe's Mags took the game to Premier League title-holders Manchester City at St James's Park on Sunday and they very nearly came away with all three points. After the magical victory over Arsenal, the bar has been raised again, so it's a great time to reflect on how far the team has come, especially in the esteemed company of BT Spo...
Steve Stone interview & Brighton stalemate
August 16, 2022 15:08 - 53 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer George Caulkin, club correspondent Chris Waugh, and special guest Steve Stone. George made his annual pilgrimage to Brighton as Chris sunned himself on the Costa del... Carlisle? Anyway, this was certainly the club's best performance, and result, at the Amex Stadium in a good long while. And late last week we took the opportunity to catch up with former Nottingham Forest, Villa, and England winger Steve Stone. A schoolm...
Feeling Good: A New Dawn on Tyneside
August 09, 2022 06:00 - 55 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin.

It's the eve of the 2022/23 season, and we're all uncharacteristically excited about the team's prospects. There are so many questions to answer: where will we finish, who is next in line for Howe-ification, and can Dan Burn carry Ryan Fraser in a papoose? We also have an update on transfer activity,...
Pre-Season Angry & Atlanta Connections
July 27, 2022 14:02 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and North American football writer Felipe Cardenas.

Eales was an early appointment after Atlanta earned their place in MLS and a driving force behind their rapid progress. Miguel Almiron played a big role at Atlanta as ...
Pre-Season, New CEO, Greek Meats, and Derek Wright
July 19, 2022 18:30 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and another very special guest.

Meanwhile, the club have appointed a new CEO in Darren Eales. The big news of the week was the retirement of Newcastle's long-serving...

One of the first signings from that period joins us to reminisce about the spectacular upturn in fortunes and the madness of K...

Pope In, Botman Pending, What Next?
June 28, 2022 05:00 - 59 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Burnley writer Andy Jones. Goalkeeper Nick Pope has been signed from The Clarets after their Premier League relegation and it looks like a bargain fee for an England international. The club could round off their defensive incomings with Lille centre-half, and long-time target Sven Botman, who had a medical at Longbenton on Monday afternoon. We asked The Athletic's Newcastle subscri...
Summery Dismissal, Derby Dearth, and Big Dan Burn
June 21, 2022 16:53 - 59 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and news reporter Phil Buckingham.

There hasn't been a league match a...

Eddie Howe's team have produced an astonishing surge up the Premier League table in 2022, but inspired by a rousing display from Wor Flags and the resulting atmosphere, they produced their most complete performance of the season to beat Champions League chasers Arsenal. It was a remarkable evening in so many ways and we celebrate the night in true Po...

May 10, 2022 15:02 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. Manchester City were convincing winners and, along with last week's defeat to Liverpool, the team have been left in no doubt as to how much they must improve to challenge at the top of the table. But, how much can Newcastle's new management take inspiration from the rapid rise of Manchester's "noisy neighbours"? And, there's a reminder of how bad thing...

April 05, 2022 17:18 - 48 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. We saw the worst 45 minutes of football so far under Eddie Howe as his Mags gave Spurs the freedom of North London. It wasn't all about freedom on Sunday, though, as Chris can readily testify. It's about time we had a home game, and we won't have to wait very long with Wolves coming to SJP on Friday night. On the eve of that clash the PotT team will we...

February 22, 2022 12:46 - 47 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. We're revelling in Newcastle's new-found functionality this week. The players have defined roles that fit their skillsets and the midfield of Jonjoe, Joe, and Jo, is anything but stuttering. No rest for the wicked, though, and we're back in the capital for a game that, while big for Newcastle, looks huge for Brentford. They have just one point from the...

February 15, 2022 14:06 - 54 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. News of an injury to the inspirational Kieran Trippier has taken the edge off things slightly but we're in a state of disbelief after Newcastle won their third match in a row.
