  • Pain of "poor" transfer window eased by pens, Spurs and Sandro, Ole Ole Ole!

    Pain of "poor" transfer window eased by pens, Spurs and Sandro, Ole Ole Ole!
    Sep 2 2024
    What a week that was! The full podcast team assemble to discuss a crazy seven days during which Newcastle United's transfer plans came to nought amid rumours of a late (panicky?) tilt at Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga. That came after the lengthy pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi was finally abandoned on deadline day. The club did sign a player from Palace, though, with Becky Langley bringing in Isabella Sibley from the WSL outfit before their first game of the new Women's Championship season. Every Newcastle fan knows, when you're having a rough time of it, there's only one solution. Spurs at St James's Park. This wasn't quite the rout of the last two years, but Harvey Barnes continued his hot streak and Alexander Isak got off the mark for an uplifting 2-1 win to take Howe's men into the international break.

  • Waugh Cosplay; it's never plain sailing at Bournemouth: SOS Sandro!

    Waugh Cosplay; it's never plain sailing at Bournemouth: SOS Sandro!
    Aug 26 2024
    Taylor Payne is joined by Chris Waugh and professional Chris Waugh stand-in Jacob Whitehead for another weekly recap in the mad, mad, mad, world of Newcastle United. We wanted a routine result at Bournemouth, but that's hoping against hope and we got another stressful, frustrating afternoon. However, Eddie Howe was able to fix several problems with his bench and a draw is not the end of the world. There's also the encouragement of a return for Sandro Tonali, might he start the cup tie at Forest? And, of course, there's a transfer deadline on Friday with at least one major signing expected, if not guaranteed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Saints and Sinners: Joelinton powers indignant Mags to victory

    Saints and Sinners: Joelinton powers indignant Mags to victory
    Aug 20 2024
    Taylor, George, and Chris are keeping a lid on their rage, much like St. James's Park after Ben Brereton Diaz bought Fabian Schar a red in Newcastle's Premier League opener against Southampton. As it turned out, a show of extreme resolution from Howe's men - especially the three-man midfield featuring stand-out performer Joelinton - delivered three precious points and we head to Bournemouth without Chris in tow, obviously, but with a united squad and another week in the legs. When is a bid not a bid? Schrodinger's transfer saga, and that's what it is, shows no signs of coming to a conclusion with Marc Guehi taking the field for Crystal Palace amid a sea of mis- and, probably, dis-information about a potential move to the Northeast.

  • Sela Cup Double: the Premier League & Championship Tremble!

    Sela Cup Double: the Premier League & Championship Tremble!
    Aug 13 2024
    There's a warm glow on the podcast this week after we announced another live date at the Gosforth Civic Theatre (tickets here: https://www.gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk/pod-on-the-tyne-live), and we're setting stress aside as we welcome the eve of a new Premier League season. Newcastle United scored two more famous Sela Cup victories at differing stages of their pre-season prep, with Eddie Howe's men even earning a superfluous 4-0 win over Girona to boot! Alexander Isak continues to look a million dollars with his teammates chomping at the bit; Southampton beware... Becky Langley's NUFC Women won't square up for Championship action until September, but they have recruited impressively, with one or two more to come. Add that to the talent already on Tyneside, and back-to-back-to-back promotions are under discussion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Deflation Down Under and one last kick in the nuts; no Europe for you!

    Deflation Down Under and one last kick in the nuts; no Europe for you!
    May 29 2024
    George and Chris take to the mic without the calming presence of regular host Taylor Payne, and it's a traumatic affair after Manchester United shocked their neighbours in the FA Cup final to deprive Eddie Howe's Newcastle of a place in Europe. With the second leg of our post-season tour in Australia landing like a gnat on a windscreen, it's been quite a rocky week for the club; co-owner Amanda Staveley even took to Instagram to make an unusual apology. But, what does it all mean for the future? Will the lack of European football have an immediate impact on management and planning. And, why are Rafa's 2017 Mags so hot right now?

  • Brentford win seals European place... almost: epic send-off for the neverending season

    Brentford win seals European place... almost: epic send-off for the neverending season
    May 23 2024
    Blood, sweat, tears... a seemingly unending slog with torn thighs, visceral noise, and extreme emotion. But, that's enough about Chris's breakfast... Eddie Howe's Newcastle United, after one of the most arduous campaigns in the club's history, are currently in Australia playing back-to-back friendlies. But, with the league schedule done and dusted we can look back over a season of remarkable moments, a mountain of goals, and yes, some gut-wrenching defeats as well. As we look to the future, there's optimism about where this team and NUFC Women are headed, even if we are relying on someone else to get us one more positive result. To be fair, though, it is Manchester City. PRODUCER: Ollie Bellwood Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
