Two Birds, Dropping Like Stones?
November 23, 2021 11:29 - 54 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and special guest, Norwich reporter Michael Bailey. Eddie Howe was forced to work from home on his first match-day as Newcastle manager; an exciting match saw his side come from behind twice to take a point against Brentford. It was encouraging, but was the result good enough? The Magpies are now the only winless side in the Premier League after Norwich City won for the first time, and...
Newcastle 2.0: Reboot Underway
November 16, 2021 12:51 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and special guests Peter Rutzler and Iain Macintosh. Peter is The Athletic's Fulham writer but was posted to Bournemouth during Eddie Howe's time at the club, and he gives chapter and verse on the way Newcastle's new manager operates. We also heard from Amanda Staveley this week, with the owners appearing at the NU Foundation dinner as well. And, we check...
So Many Questions: The Answer is Howe
November 09, 2021 12:22 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and special guest Oli Kay. Moments before our podcast recording (hooray!), Eddie Howe was announced as the new Head Coach and he has a gargantuan task ahead of him if he's to steer the team clear of relegation. The Athletic's Senior Football Writer Oli Kay has written about Howe's career so far and he provides us with the inside track on this exciting app...
Flagging: New Manager Now Please
November 02, 2021 13:34 - 55 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. This week's special guest is representative of the Wor Flags group, Thomas Concannon. Chelsea came, they strolled, and they conquered, in a Hallowe'en match that proved nightmarish for the home supporters, despite a marvellous display from the aforementioned Wor Flags before kick-off. Recorded before the emergence of Unai Emery as the club's number one...
Wilson Wins Us a Point at Palace: Enough?
October 26, 2021 12:45 - 51 minutesWith Chris Waugh away, Taylor Payne is joined by The Athletic's Senior Writer George Caulkin, and Gallowgate Shots podcaster Stephen 'Besty' Best. After Steve Bruce's drawn-out depature, interim manager Graeme Jones took charge of the first team at Selhurst Park. The consensus is it was a good point, if a slightly fortunate one, but it may not be enough with a string of tough games between now and Christmas. When January does arrive the club will be able to recruit, but are we already behind ...
EMERGENCY PODCAST: The Bruce Era Ends
October 20, 2021 19:23 - 38 minutesTaylor Payne hosts ANOTHER emergency edition of Athletic's Newcastle United podcast with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin to discuss the news that Steve Bruce's time as manager is over. Bruce's future had been in serious doubt since the club was sold by Mike Ashley just days ago and, although he remained in charge for the visit of Spurs, his 1,000th game in football management, he has now left his post. The departure was described by an official club statement a...
New Era: Same Old Newcastle (For Now)
October 19, 2021 13:06 - 58 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic, in conversation with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. Tottenham were the visitors at St James' Park for the first match under the new ownership and, for a brief moment after Callum Wilson's early goal, it seemed the overwhelming wave of emotion might carry the team to victory. Unfortunately, football reality took hold and, with a significant interruption caused by a medical emergency in t...
Week One in Takeoverland
October 14, 2021 20:28 - 53 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and our Senior Writer George Caulkin. We're one week into new ownership and as the dust begins to settle, everyone has been surprised to see Steve Bruce is still Newcastle manager. Will he make it to the Spurs match? If he does, it'll be his 1,000th game in club management. The Athletic ran an NUFC fan survey this week, so we chew on the results of that, and we think about how Sunday's...
EMERGENCY PODCAST: The Ashley Era Ends
October 08, 2021 13:46 - 41 minutesTaylor Payne hosts our podcast reaction to a whirlwind 48 hours for Newcastle United with The Athletic's Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. Mike Ashley's ownership of the club came to an abrupt end, seemingly out of the blue, and we're still processing the news. The sense of relief is strong but some fans will feel conflicted by money coming into the club from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The consortium fronted by Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi must now help the team avoid releg...
Fighting Amongst Ourselves
October 05, 2021 16:19 - 53 minutesThe Athletic's Newcastle United correspondent, Chris Waugh, was ringside for the club's latest courtroom melodrama, and he tries to report the details through persistent heckling from host Taylor Payne and Senior Writer, George Caulkin. George attended the Wolverhampton match in Chris's absence and, despite good numbers in the away end, the atmosphere was flat. That was, of course, largely because of the shambolic showing on the pitch. Perhaps a nice bit of needle with some opposition fans is...
Statistical Update: Puttin' it in the Net
September 28, 2021 12:20 - 53 minutesTaylor Payne is joined by The Athletic's Newcastle reporters Chris Waugh and George Caulkin to reflect on the trip to Watford, one that really should have yielded three points. First-half dominance was squandered and a golden chance late on for Jacob Murphy nearly broke John Anderson. George channels Shakespeare, Sean Connery, and Ozzie Ardiles in a statistical report on the club's attempts to be more progressive. We also hear about Alan Shearer's latest interview, with former Newcastle and W...
Friday Night Frights: Basketball beats Football
September 21, 2021 12:02 - 55 minutesTaylor Payne presides over a dissection of Newcastle's Friday night match with Leeds. Providing eye witness reporting and in-depth analysis are The Athletic's NUFC correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. The Sky Sports production from St James's Park got the seal of approval from many fans and George, watching from his sickbed, agreed that it was a refreshing change of direction from a national broadcaster. The game itself was a chaotic mess, but that's more enjoyable than...
Powderkeg Diplomacy: Beware Giant Squibs
September 14, 2021 12:32 - 57 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and the UK's Senior Football Writer George Caulkin. Another visit to Old Trafford, another defeat, but did the team actually play OK? And even if they did, is that enough? Callum Wilson will now miss crucial games over the next few weeks, and points are desperately needed. After the game, manager Steve Bruce fired a shot across the boughs of the local newspaper. We consider what might ...
A Statement of No Intent & Santi's Dream Begins
September 07, 2021 11:39 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with regular panellists Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. Following criticism of the club's transfer window, an unusual statement was published via official channels. We pick out the main points and consider the motivations behind it. One of only two players signed was Mexican teenager Santiago Munoz. We get the inside track from the journalist who was closest to the story, The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas. Learn more about ...

Bruce Under Fire: Hung Out to Dry?
September 01, 2021 22:19 - 54 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to podcast from The Athletic with expert insight and forthright opinions from club correspondent Chris Waugh and our Senior Writer, George Caulkin. It was the transfer deadline day we all feared. After the happy surprise that was the permanent signing of Joe Willock, noises from the club suggested that was it for incoming transfers. Despite ourselves, we hoped in vain for a loan or two, and it seemed the team boss was similarly let down. For the first time in Steve ...
Heartbreak and Hope: Michael Chaplin Saves the Pod
August 24, 2021 15:54 - 50 minutesTaylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with Senior Football Writer George Caulkin providing expert insight. We're now two games into the new Premier League season and Steve Bruce's team have yet to win a point. They've conceded six goals so far, scoring just twice, and it's difficult to ignore the memories of last season's horrendous run. Fortunately, playwright and author Michael Chaplin has written a beautiful and timely memoir of his time in the stands at ...
Failure to Launch: Wilson Strike not Enough
August 17, 2021 18:37 - 50 minutesThe Athletic's Senior Football Writer George Caulkin makes his seasonal debut on our definitive Newcastle United podcast alongside increasingly senior club correspondent Chris Waugh and host Taylor Payne. The Toon kicked off the new Premier League in disappointing fashion, losing 4-2 at home to West Ham, and that despite holding the lead at half-time. The defence looked vulnerable, and we discuss how that might be addressed, whether through tactical changes or fresh personnel. But, we're tryi...
Squad Strength: Where's Willock?
August 10, 2021 19:30 - 57 minutesIt's the eve of the new season, and time for a squad audit (a squaudit?) on The Athletic's definitive Newcastle United podcast. Host Taylor Payne is joined by our club correspondent, Chris Waugh, for a full and frank assessment of the strength of Steve Bruce's squad. Several of our players suffered reputational damage as the team under-performed last term, so who will step up this time? And, with Joe Willock looking a likely recruit for a fee in excess of twenty million pounds, will that be t...

The Season We Thought Would Never End... Ends
May 25, 2021 20:23 - 1 hourTaylor Payne hosts this very special edition of your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with the help of club correspondents Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. This is our best attempt to sum up the events of an indescribable season. Truly a rollercoaster of emotions, and success, it's been a remarkable year in many ways. Steve Bruce's side accumulated points apace in an early-season surge before plunging into seemingly irreversible decline and despair. That they did manage to reco...

Hosted once again by Taylor Payne and with regular correspondents Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. Friday night saw the Toon trounce Leicester at the Walkers Stadium, yes those names are the right way round, and we wonder how the team can swing to such extremes of performance. Plus, a round-up of the latest nonsense off the pitch. We have had some remarkable results against Leicester down the years, but perhaps...
Boring, Boring Arsenal Defeat
May 05, 2021 20:04 - 54 minutesTaylor Payne is the host of your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic, hindered only slightly in this task by the curmudgeonly club correspondents Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. A dismal 2-0 defeat at home to a significantly weakened Arsenal had the unpleasant odour of Newcastle's wretched winless run which ended recently and we'd hoped was behind us. Twin cities, Leicester and Manchester, await and competing will be a psychological chore as much as it is a footballing one. We ra...
Where there's a Willock...
April 27, 2021 19:55 - 59 minutesTaylor Payne is the host of your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic and he's joined, as always, by the dedicated, dynamic duo Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. We're confused by feelings of positivity this week and, while a 1-1 draw at Anfield may not have quite the same gloss in 2021 as it would any other season, we had great fun watching the messy madness unfold. Newcastle face another ESL team next and with the help of a special guest, Athletic Arsenal correspondent Amy Lawrenc...
St Maximin Condundrum Cracked?
April 20, 2021 18:49 - 57 minutesThe Athletic's Newcastle podcast team are back to full strength after a week dodging each other on Bamburgh beach. Taylor Payne hosts a review of a splendid seven days with Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. Allan St Maximin was the key figure again as the Toon tamed high-flying West Ham, even if the visitors did play a significant role in their own downfall. And, after the European Super League bombshell dropped, we look at the ramifications for Newcastle's ongoing takeover drama and the role o...
Warren Barton on the 1892 Pledge
April 14, 2021 06:00 - 59 minutesChris is on holiday but regulars Taylor Payne and George Caulkin are joined on this special edition of The Athletic's "go-to Newcastle United podcast" by none other than Warren Barton. Based in California, the former Toon lynchpin still works in the game as a coach and broadcaster. He has been keeping a keen eye on the goings on at St James' Park and hasn't been shy with his views on the current regime. Warren's enduring connection to the club is so strong, in fact, that when the Newcastle Un...
Spurred Back to Life
April 07, 2021 09:15 - 56 minutesTaylor Payne hosts The Athletic's Newcastle United podcast with the most dynamic of journalistic duos, George Caulkin and Chris Waugh.
