Eddie Howe's trophy-winning Mags are on the brink of returning to the Champions League next season after a lightning start and a thunderous finish provided emphatic bookends to a nervy bit in between.

The final result was 2-0, at least according to most reliable judges, and with two games to go, it's difficult to see how Newcastle can lose three places in the league. In fact with a trip to Arsenal next, might we be looking up instead!

Helping us savour the success this week is special guest Paul Ferris, NUFC's favourite polymath, who has a new book out but doesn't need any help selling tickets to the launch. There's also a first update from Mark Allison who has reached Pennsylvania on his epic run across America.

A long time ago, at an AMEX arena far, far away... Chris Waugh watched a Jason Tindall-less Newcastle United fight back to draw against Brighton.

Yankuba Minteh's goal, followed by a bizarre series of reactions, had seemingly put a dent in our Champions League pursuit, but referee Craig Pawson's third penalty award survived VAR and Isak slotted home.

Meanwhile, closer to home at Blackburn's Ewood Park, NUFC Women rounded off an encouraging debut season in the second tier with a 5-1 win. We speak to manager Becky Langley at length on the lessons learned and what we can expect next term.

Here we go again! Carabao anxiety is morphing into cuppy fever at PotT towers with the mood enhanced by victory at West Ham (and Chris's negativity notable by its absence on Tuesday; something he more than balances out with one stratospheric stat).

George, in particular, while not quite upbeat, is certainly buoyed by his examination of Eddie Howe's working patterns and the after-glow of that conversation with Matt Richie. So much so that the appearance of his old boss, and the trauma it may have provoked, is taken in stride. That old boss, as it goes, is Tony Evans, former Football Editor at The Times, and now presenter of The Athletic's Liverpool podcast.

Even our correspondents are on good form, coming up with madcap ways Liverpool can have their post-PSG funk prolonged. This show should come with a health warning, to be honest. Side effects may include optimism...

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 injuries.

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 imminent on his punishment for illegal betting.

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 Becky Langley's women, despite a dominant performance against league leaders Burnley, and nil-nil is often the score when Crystal Palace visit in the Premier League.

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 standards.

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 magical run going as Becky Langley's lasses ran out comfortable winners at Liverpool Feds; they will take a 100% record into their home game with unbeaten Burnley on Saturday.

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.

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.

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 in the next round, but next we host Burnley in the league.

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.

Eddie Howe celebrated enthusiastically after the final whistle at the London Stadium. While it may not have been much of a spectacle, the 1-0 win (with a goal from captain Bruno Guimaraes) represented a real boost to the team's confidence.

The preceding week had seen gut punch after gut punch... Anthony Gordon's suspension for the Carabao Cup Final (which will not be appealed) was followed by serious injuries to Lewis Hall and Sven Botman and fans had to suffer another season ticket price rise as well.

CEO Darren Eales addressed the media on various matters and assured all attendees that Alexander Isak, Eddie Howe, and progress on infrastructure were all top priorities for a committed ownership group. Now, the club faces table-toppers Liverpool for a chance to make history.

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 season. We've a report on their victory over Stoke City as a storm broke over Kingston Park, an update on Saudi Arabia's friendly games at St James's Park (a mis-step?), and a glimpse at the new Stack Fan Zone below the Gallowgate

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 NUFC women, whose new signings are settling in very quickly, and an international break for the men with our fandom, and George, ready for a brief change of scenery.

It's the morning after the terrible night before and Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh have still got that frightening feeling, the haunting memories of late losses to Liverpool in games we should have won.

So, how did it happen, do the Reds really have the wood over Newcastle, and will it always be this way or is it simply that Eddie Howe's team has not yet reached that stage of their development?

Brighton next, who we have a mixed record against, a few transfer tidbits plus news of a good opening win for the lasses and an Athletic Live Room this Thursday for the Champions League draw.

Taylor Payne hosts your favourite Newcastle United podcast with The Athletic's Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead. Unfortunately, George Caulkin was forced to withdraw at the 11th hour with an oppressive work schedule, so we have been forced to take drastic measures!

The signing of Lewis Hall was confirmed this week, and that may conclude the acquisitions to Eddie Howe's squad in this window. A versatile operator, Hall is the second Chelsea Academy graduate to arrive in August.

Onto the Liverpool game, and tensions have arisen this week with fans not over the moon about ticketing decisions and Bruno Guimaraes responding angrily to a tweet about the Manchester City game. Let's hope we're all United come Sunday.

The Athletic's Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead join Taylor Payne to review Newcastle United's magnificent 5-1 victory over Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.

Sandro Tonali wasted no time getting on the scoresheet as he took to English football like an anatra to acqua, and Eddie Howe's midfield looks to have an added dimension with the Italian joining Bruno and Joelinton in the engine room.

Alexander Isak was another of several standout performances with two for him, and Harvey Barnes got an assist and a goal in just 22 minutes on his competitive debut.

It's the dawn of the new Premier League season but you find Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh in a state of disarray, so much so that we can't even get through the apology for the last episode's disastrous start!

We're supposed to be making our predictions for the season to come with contributions from Twitter, but George barely predicts anything and Chris (deliberately?) answers an entirely different question from the one Taylor asks him.

Onto the opening day fixture against Villa then, and it's our idea of Eddie Howe's first line-up... or is it the team we want to see... or maybe a bit of both. Frankly, it's a minor miracle you're even listening to this at all (hopefully you are).

Newcastle fans were left with a vomit-inducing case of deja vu on Sunday after the final home game before the Carabao Cup final saw another day of injury and insult.

Lewis Hall was ruled out of the FA Cup tie vs Brighton and has consulted with a specialist, leaving his fitness in doubt, while Anthony Gordon saw red, and saw red; he now faces a three-match ban which would include the trip to Wembley.

As if that weren't enough, Danny Welbeck booted us out of the FA Cup as well and we're scratching around for positives. Perhaps Isak's perfect pen, or Dan Burn collecting the Bobby Robson award, or The Lasses' home win.

Taylor Payne looks back at the last weekend of pre-season action for Eddie Howe's men with George Caulkin and Chris Waugh.

Newcastle raised the Sela Cup on Sunday after wins against Fiorentina and Villareal but, with new signings Harvey Barnes and Sandro Tonali on the pitch, and Tino Livramento in the stands, the primary goal was integration.

A positive win for Becky Langley's NUFC Women rounded off the weekend nicely, and everything feels good going into the new season... not that you'd know it listening to George.

The highly-rated Southampton fullback looks to be a long-term project as he recovers from a knee injury, and it just so happens that we are looking at Eddie Howe's defensive options today.

Taylor Payne hosts a Pod on the Tyne review of the 2022/23 season at Newcastle United, one that has thrilled and astounded in equal measure. From a remarkable Carabao Cup run, culminating in a near miss at Wembley, to a Premier League campaign which built on the post-takeover momentum of last season's great escape to catapult Eddie Howe's men into the Champions League. Not forgetting, of course, a league title for the newly adopted NUFC Women's team.

The Athletic's trio of Newcastle writers; George Caulkin, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead, are on hand to share memories and stretch a ludicrous awards ceremony metaphor to its absolute breaking point as we report on a remarkable effort from, essentially, the whole squad and staff and we've a special memo courtesy of Alan (from Work) Shearer.

Welcome to this BONUS edition of Pod on the Tyne, organised to commemorate the **checks notes** routine win for Liverpool at home to Newcastle...

Yes, Chris made us all get together to reflect on a dress rehearsal that definitely could have gone a lot worse for Newcastle, but equally gave us no additional reasons to expect a winning performance at Wembley in March's Carabao Cup final.

Of course, the late withdrawal of Alexander Isak through injury was the main talking point, and one that put a dagger through most Geordie hearts. We will need everyone fit and firing if we are to compete for that trophy and push on to a European place come May.

Taylor Payne welcomes The Athletic's Newcastle United trio of George Caulkin, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead to another week's discussion, albeit not the most pleasant one we've had of late. For the first time this season, there was a slight sense of capitulation as Aston Villa ran roughshod over our worryingly passive Magpie men.

A different story on Sunday, though, as Becky Langley's NUFC Women took Bradford to task and boosted their goal difference in front of a big crowd at St James's Park. All great news after last week's injury time heartbreak and they are hot on Durham Cestria's heels in FAWNL Division One North.

Newcastle United were, at one time, primarily famous for being on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline; now, somehow, we're regretting being on the right end of one...

That might seem contradictory but the nature of Sunday's win (against one of our main Premier League rivals, remember) was a trademark burst of St James's Park energy followed by the exhale of a loose accordion.

BUT win we did, Lewises Hall and Miley were both class, and some pressure has eased off our midweek trip to the champions-elect at Anfield, a game that will have more subtext than George's last trip to see Swedish cinema (and we're not talking about Alexander Isak's 50 goals).
