Chatting Champions League and more with Jacob Murphy

Newcastle went down 1-0 at Arsenal on Sunday to set up a nervy last weekend. A win at home against Everton is needed to seal Champions League football (bar a near-impossible set of results elsewhere). Jacob Murphy has been speaking with George this week and he has faith in himself and his squad-mates to put in the performance needed against a post-Goodison Everton that is either eminently beatable or incredibly dangerous depending on which end of Chris and George's sentences you choose to follow. The mood in the camp seems very positive though and, while we are hoping for good news in terms of Alexander Isak's participation, we're sure St James's Park will roar and the lads will do us proud.

Beers (and Chelsea sandwich) for Breakfast

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. https://www.rungeordierun.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stark Waughs: NUFC strike back to take point at Brighton

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eddie Howe back to work as Newcastle overwhelm Ipswich

The last month has been quite a rollercoaster for Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe. From the ecstasy of our Carabao Cup win to the agony, and anxiety, of a brush with pneumonia. On Saturday, he returned to the dugout, and despite his admission he's not quite 100% yet, it was a huge boost for everyone. Alexander Isak's 22nd Premier League goal of the season, plus a pair of headers from Dan Burn and Will Osula, helped see off the ten men of Ipswich, but there was plenty of debate around the performance of the match officials. We also hear from three magnificent women, including George's mam on her birthday! The Lasses(TM), finished their home campaign with a draw against title challengers Birmingham City, and we said farewell to club captain Grace Donnelly and goalscorer Rachel Furness (at least as a player).

Palace home; glorious, especially compared to Villa

It's a tale of two Uniteds this week. First up; a magnificent demolition of Crystal Palace when everyone scored, even Isak. And while Villa away was a Saturday to forget, the podcast team seem to have a lot more trouble remembering the details from earlier in the week. Either way, we are shrugging it all off and looking forward to an exciting run-in. Ipswich is the first of a crucial trio of home games; will Howe return to the dugout? Hosted on Acast.

Doing the Manchester United double: now that IS delicious!

Eddie Howe's illness, while obviously a concern for everyone, did not disrupt Newcastle's focus on a Super Sunday. Newcastle's senior teams won 10-1 on aggregate as The Lasses put promotion disappointment behind them with six unanswered goals against Blackburn. Manchester United, meanwhile, left St James's Park with their tails between their legs; our midfield trio bullying them into submission. Kevin Keegan wasn't there to see his Wor Flags tribute, but he must have savoured our first league double over the Red Devils in 94 years. Two huge games this week for the boys with Crystal Palace calling on Wednesday night before a trip to Aston Villa; Champions League qualification is now less a hope than an expectation.

Bees and Foxes dispatched: Cup final response pleases Howe

Newcastle United took six Premier League points from their first two games after winning the Carabao Cup, albeit three of them were a little easier than the others. Brentford came to St James's Park and put up a fight, equalising through Mbeumo before Tonali's not-a-worldie saved the victory in another "game-state" triumph. Then to Leicester, the third leg of George's relegation odyssey, and a sorry state of affairs where Newcastle only needed second gear to win (despite Fabian Schar's best efforts). Champions League football looks likelier than not now and we don't fear anyone, least of all Manchester United. Watch Fabian Schar's teenage wondergoal for FC Wil here: https://x.com/jwhitey98/status/1909330496955584698 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Party time! Bus tour and Town Moor celebrations

From the sublime to the ludicrous, Newcastle showed the footballing world how to celebrate properly on Saturday as the Carabao Cup winners showed off their spoils on a bus tour of the city centre. A host of TV stars and football heroes joined the fun as the party carried on at the Town Moor with Eddie Howe in raptures (yes, really) and Bruno leading the chorus. The Lasses are out of their title race, sadly, but the boys can still achieve a Champions League spot with a top five finish in the Premier League. Powered by the global Geordie family, anything is possible. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These three are a great listen. The banter is worth the price (free) of admission alone. They are inclusive of global supporters and always give quality time to the women’s team. Great writers, having fun and imparting knowledge, ably MC’d by Taylor. Great stuff.

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
