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

Brentford or bust: optimism pulls its own trousers down at Old Trafford
It's the hope that kills you, and former "World's Grumpiest Man" George Caulkin, made the fatal error of going to Old Trafford to report on Newcastle United with positive expectations.
Knowing they could, and perhaps should, win the game, Eddie Howe's team created their own downfall, albeit they got some assistance from the VAR unit (is their brief reign coming to an end?)
Was it missed chances or haphazard defending that cost us the game, and potentially a European place next season? Does it matter? Why are we here? Did you leave the iron on? Big questions, vague answers.

St James' rocks, but Brighton don't: European dream only slightly soiled
Newcastle's final home game of the season ended in a draw for Eddie Howe's men against Brighton. Slightly disappointing? Probably, but the home form overall has been pretty spectacular.
If they are to qualify for Europe, though, they'll have to take points on the road at Manchester United, where they've won one league game in 51 years, and at Brentford. Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn are confident, and so are we.
With a round-up of some awards news, congratulations to Gateshead, and a birthday to celebrate, it's a bright, breezy, spring edition of PotT!

Europe endgame; three games, eight days, two goals
Eddie Howe's Europe-chasing Mags have a crucial period coming up, starting with the last home game of the Premier League season as an unsettled Brighton travel to St James's Park.
Chris is worryingly confident, but with Anthony Gordon winning pens all over the gaffe and potential starts for returning players like Pope, Joelinton, and Miggy Almiron, you can maybe understand where he's coming from.
There's an update on the club's pursuit of a new sporting director. It seeems we are down to the last two candidates, with Dougie Freedman rumoured to be the front-runner... and, we reminisce about Newcastle "flops" who have flourished elsewhere, after Joselu, (Joselu!) scored twice to send Real Madrid to the Champions League final!

Playing with Claret-y: Newcastle win away
A mellow bank holiday episode for you today, one that follows the most beautiful result in football; namely, a routine away win.
Callum Wilson scored the opener and lead the line with zeal as Gareth Southgate watched on, so inevitably Chris has decided to write about the prospect of him being sold!
And, it was 7 up for Sean Longstaff, and twenty's plenty for Isak (goals) and Gordon (goal contributions) in the Premier League this season. Roll on Europe*!

Goal-den Years; how do Howe's Mags compare?
We're taking a trip down memory lane today, inspired by Eddie Howe's goal-tastic Mags, who are on course to become the most prolific scorers in Newcastle's Premier League era.
Howe takes charge of his 100th league match as Newcastle manager this Saturday at Burnley, his former home and the team he first beat with the Toon.
And there's a fairly eclectic round-up of new stories, with plenty going on behind the scenes both football-related and further afield.

Exiled Geordie In Pennsylvania
Bobby ‘90 had me in bits. From stories of England ( Gazza just wanting to play on the wing with his mate ) to the setting up of the foundation and early days in the pit. A truly wonderful journey through the memory of a great man loved by all who followed football ( and many who don’t )
Just a lovely piece of Journalism and many memories of my own stirred through the episodes
Thank you, every time I listen to pod on the Tyne I look at my diary yo find a time to get home ( even if it’s just for a pint in the Beehive ! )
Felipe Cardenas brought great content on Eales, Miggy, and MLS/MX/S. America
Great show on Darren Eales. Hope to hear Felipe Cardenas on the pod again soon - he was a fantastic guest!
