    United again! - Villa away, VAR, Qarabag preview and FA Cup draw!

    United again! - Villa away, VAR, Qarabag preview and FA Cup draw! Newcastle 3, Aston Villa 1 – and somehow VAR was only half the story. Ed and Olly break down a bonkers FA Cup night where Newcastle showed real resilience, Tonali delivered his biggest performance yet without Bruno (two superb goals), and Woltemade impressed in a new deeper role. They dig into the mounting injury worries, Howe’s post‑match quotes, and another brutal cup draw: Man City at home… again. Then it’s a full Qarabag preview: the 5,000‑mile Champions League trek, what to expect from the Azerbaijani champions, likely line‑ups, and how Newcastle should approach the tie. Plus: VAR reform, realistic league targets, and why stability with Eddie Howe might be the club’s most important asset. --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    A major mistake? - Liverpool review, Lascelles tribute and Man City preview

    NUFC suffer a 4–1 defeat at Anfield and Ed and Olly dig into what went wrong: the five‑minute collapses, Pope’s error, and a worrying away‑form pattern that’s defined the season. They pay tribute to Jamal Lascelles as he heads to Leicester, reflecting on his 12 years at Newcastle, his leadership through the Ashley era, captaining promotion and title wins, and his role in the club’s recent rise. With transfer deadline day passing quietly, they debate whether signing no one in January is a big mistake, talk leadership after Lascelles and Trips, and preview a daunting Carabao Cup second leg at Man City, including line‑up headaches and what it would take to pull off a miracle. --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    Newcastle's big issues laid bare - Villa review, PSG preview and UCL permutations

    Newcastle’s season is at a crossroads, and Ed and Olly dive deep into it all. They break down the Aston Villa defeat with full positives-and-negatives (Miley’s emergence, Botman’s resurgence, and a blunt forward line), ask hard questions about Eddie Howe’s tactics and striker isolation, and debate whether this campaign can still be classed as a “success.” They unpack January transfer limbo, PSR confusion after the Isak sale, and the growing injury list with Bruno and Joelinton doubts. Then it’s all eyes on Paris: detailed PSG preview, Champions League permutations (what a win, draw, or defeat actually means), and how Newcastle can approach their biggest away test under Howe with a playoff place already secured. Plus: Patreon questions on FFP, missing out on Europe, and whether Howe’s training-ground plans are translating on matchdays, and a fun quiz on the players who’ve worn both Newcastle and PSG colours. --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    The chaos continues! - FA Cup review, Man City preview and are signings coming?

    The chaos continues! - FA Cup review, Man City preview and are signings coming? Newcastle march on in every competition after a wild FA Cup tie against Bournemouth. Ed and Olly break down a chaotic 3-3 draw and penalty shootout at St James’ Park, weighing up the big positives (Barnes on fire, Gordon’s impact, Tonali’s engine, Ramsey’s promise) and the growing concerns in defence and injury list. They dig into what Tino Livramento’s setback and Fabian Schär’s situation mean for January, discuss whether Schär deserves a new deal, and look ahead to a huge Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Man City under the lights. Can Newcastle’s home fortress and newfound resilience overcome fatigue and Haaland’s threat? --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    Three in a row? - Palace review, reasons to be positive and Leeds preview

    Three in a row? - Palace review, reasons to be positive and Leeds preview NUFC Blogcast kicks off 2026 with back‑to‑back league wins and a much‑needed clean sheet. Ed and Olly review the 2–0 victory over Crystal Palace, dig into what’s changed since the nervy Burnley game, and ask whether this campaign could still become Newcastle’s best season in decades. They rave about Lewis Miley’s record-breaking display at right‑back, Bruno’s knack for big‑moment goals, and Schär and Joelinton’s under‑the‑radar importance, while also addressing ongoing worries on the right wing. There’s a look at the chaotic race for Europe, a fresh approach to Patreon questions (including whether to “sacrifice” the FA Cup and what to do with Miley when Tino returns), plus a full preview of Leeds at St James’ Park—with predicted XI, scorelines, and a Newcastle–Leeds player quiz to finish. --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    Big issues at Newcastle - A must win at Burnley, Man Utd debrief and what's going wrong?

    Big issues at Newcastle - A must win at Burnley, Man Utd debrief and what's going wrong? A flat, frustrating night at Old Trafford as Newcastle fall 1–0 to an injury-hit Manchester United. Ed and Olly pick apart another soft goal, a toothless attack, and an away form that’s rapidly becoming a crisis. They dig into whether this is about tactics, mentality, recruitment, or all of the above, and what it says about Eddie Howe’s evolving—or confused—identity for this team. There are a few bright spots, led by Lewis Hall’s standout display, but attention quickly turns to a huge trip to Burnley that already feels must-win. Can Newcastle find a turning point before a brutal January run of fixtures? --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

    Reasons to be hopeful despite dropped points? - Boxing Day preview, a good time to play Man Utd and injury latest

    Reasons to be hopeful despite dropped points? - Boxing Day preview, a good time to play Man Utd and injury latestNUFC Blogcast returns as Ed and Ollie dissect Newcastle’s 2–2 draw with Chelsea at St James’ Park – a game that somehow managed to sum up the entire season in 90 minutes. They break down a brilliant first half, another lead thrown away, and the controversial penalty that never was, plus what it all says about Eddie Howe’s side heading into the new year. The lads pick out the big performances from Nick Woltemade, Lewis Hall, Lewis Miley, Anthony Gordon and more, and ask what’s going wrong with Newcastle’s mentality, clean sheets, and game management from winning positions. There’s chat on Nick Pope vs Ramsdale, whether a season with a trophy but a bottom-half finish would count as a success, and how worried to be about Elanga’s form. Then it’s onto Boxing Day at Old Trafford: a full preview of Man United v Newcastle, including injuries, key battles, why this might be the perfect time to play them, likely line-up, and Ollie’s score prediction. Plus some festive Patreon questions – including Secret Santa for Bruno and Jason Tindall. --------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.
