Pre-Carabao calamity: the Seagull sequel

Mar 03 2025 63 mins  
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 th

Isak absence analysed as Anfield abstinence endures

Feb 27 2025 58 mins  
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 fin

Beating Forest 4-3 and why it's good, actually

Feb 24 2025 63 mins  
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

A Nightmare on Etihad Street: another alarming off-day

Feb 18 2025 58 mins  
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Manchester... City stuttering, Newcastle striding into the Carabao Cup final and skipping over Birmunum banana skins...Oh no! Eddie Howe and the club both have terrible track records at the Etihad, but this goes down as one of the most disappointing performances for either. Beaten in duels, unable to make a pass, and with a distinctly

Newcastle: the cup specialists reborn?

Feb 10 2025 54 mins  
FA Cup weekend brought mixed fortunes for Newcastle United's senior teams; Eddie Howe's men emerged victorious, but by no means unscathed, from a trip to Birmingham while the women's team fought valiantly and competed but were deservedly beaten by WSL outfit Crystal Palace. Eddie Howe rotated his squad at St Andrews, with only Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn retained from the starting

Another Eddie Howe masterclass for Arteta's Arsenal

Feb 06 2025 89 mins  
Just when you thought it was safe for Arsenal to go back to St James's Park, Eddie Howe's Newcastle United delivered another performance of exquisite intensity to cast aside any nervous energy and cruise into another Carabao Cup final. Highlights included a line-up that looked like a low block back five, but actually saw two of the three centre halves charging upfield to harangue a

Isak batters Southampton as Almiron nears exit

Jan 27 2025 63 mins  
Eowyn took most of the headlines this week but our very own Swedish hurricane was southbound. Alexander Isak showed his full range of abilities as he turned Southampton's defence upside down and inside out. Jacob Murphy is the provider-in-chief and he will become a very important player if Miguel Almiron departs in January; the Paraguayan has proved to be a popular character, a tir

Cherries Everywhere! Newcastle's winning run ends with a splat

Jan 20 2025 65 mins  
It had all been going so well; too well, perhaps. But, it's all over now as Bournemouth came to St James's Park and took all three points, any faint hopes of a title chase, and really rubbed our faces in it, to be honest. Isak, who had broken the club's record scoring run against Wolves, was a mere spectator at the weekend, and the team looked deficient in every department in the f

Fuss-free FA Cup progress with 'winnable' league fixtures in store

Jan 13 2025 53 mins  
It wasn't quite serene progress against Bromley in the FA Cup on Sunday, but there was a brutal beauty in the strikes provided by Lewis Miley and Will Osula either side of an Anthony Gordon penalty. Some key questions after the weekend. Did anybody put their hand up for a first-team place 'proper'? What's going on with Martin Dubravka? Why did Chris drag George into town in the wee

London is Ours: Toon have a toe in the Carabao Cup Final

Jan 08 2025 70 mins  
This is getting ridiculous; Newcastle's run of wins, Isak's run of goals, Gordon's contributions, Murphy's assists, all continued and they will start the home leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final with a two-nil lead. The tie's far from over, with nobody keener to emphasise that than Eddie Howe, but what an incredible run of games this has been, a truly historic run, and you wouldn't b
