Usually, when you win at a ground for the first time in a decade (second time in four decades!), you'd be thinking limbs, cans, maybe even can cans.Newcastle's away end certainly enjoyed today's victory at Stamford Bridge, but there was no great spectacle or sense of an event.Reporting from Fulham Broadway, Chris Waugh is joined by a competition winner to recap a job well done, even if we're all thinking about Barcelona already.
Newcastle's hopes of progress to the Champions League quarter finals had a huge boost with Harvey Barnes late goal in the first leg of their last 16 tie against Barcelona......and then took an equally large hit with Lamine Yamal's late penalty. Was it the best performance of the season? Were Barca a little complacent? Where will Lewis Hall finish in the Ballon d'Or list?We also consider the small matter of Chelsea away in the league, we hear from Jemma Purfield as The Lasses resume hostilities in WSL2, and there's a brief reaction to the news of ticket price rises.Taylor's brush with stardom can be viewed here.
Newcastle United are out of the FA Cup, having been thoroughly beaten by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 3-1 at St James's Park. Chris and Luke Edwards analyse a deflating evening.With the cup exit, dreams of domestic silverware will have to wait, but Barcelona are the visitors in Tuesday's Champions League last 16 tie and Eddie Howe is certainly not underestimating the scale of that fixture.
Manchester United have been through some tough times recently but an unbeaten run under interim boss Michael Carrick brought them to St James's Park full of confidence.Yet, on a clear Wednesday night, Newcastle United defied their own dodgy league form, yet more questionable refereeing, and anyone else who wants some, to hold firm with ten men before a true moment of inspiration.Spring is in the air, and there was a spring in Will Osula's step as he first won possession from Bruno Fernandes before speeding onto Trippier's through ball and curling home a delicious winner. Happy, happy, joy, joy.Next up, the other lot from Manchester... why not, eh!?To find out more about the 'Unofficial World Club Championship' head to https://www.stevesfootballstats.uk/
Newcastle's form has seen a slight uptick in recent games, but absolutely not in the Premier League.Newcastle have lost five from six in the league, and this defeat makes it three successive league games at home for the first time under Eddie Howe.Having twice overcome their own attacking difficulties to equalise, they quickly gifted the lead back to Everton, who were also grateful to Jordan Pickford for a magnificent save late on.
Today's title is three things Eddie Howe has built his team around, but are desperately lacking from the podcast as we lurch from gaffes to factual errors via hungry cats.Yes, Newcastle are through to the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time since we did it before in a different format, which technically wasn't the last 16, it was the second group stage... anyway, it's a great achievement.Of course, the play-off tie with Qarabag was all but over after the first leg, and it WAS all over eight minutes into the second. The game at St James's then went a bit sideways; we break down the breakdown.Next up Everton, with inside info from a friendly face, and the players who have manufactured an upturn in form must now turn that into a league win at home.
Newcastle's mileage has topped 5,000 this week and they added a few hundred more with a journey to Manchester to take on City, who have had a week off.Confidence was rock bottom going into this one; the team's record at the Etihad Stadium is woeful but, while another defeat goes on the list, there were a fair few encouraging aspects.Chris Waugh is joined by the Daily Telegraph's Luke Edwards for analysis of our best attempt yet at breaking the Etihad duck.
Newcastle's agony at missing out on direct passage to the Champions League last 16 was eased slightly as they made light work of their play-off tie.Five first-half goals, four from centre forward Anthony Gordon, effectively put the tie beyond hosts Qarabag.Next up, Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.. it's a graveyard of geordie hopes and dreams, can three consecutive away wins trigger a change of fortunes? Things are on the up for Newcastle's women as well going into the international break.
Back-to-back away wins for Newcastle United, two goals for Sandro Tonali, and a first strike of 2026 for Nick Woltemade... a simple victory? Well, maybe not.George and Chris assess an obstacle-filled afternoon for Eddie Howe and co. Injury absences, including the captain, were as nothing compared to some of the refereeing decisions.Tell me ma...
This week has been about the hardcore... we delivered a special tribute to the away end on our Extra Tyne feed last night (podonthetyne.supportingcast.fm).It was about Newcastle's hardcore as well. Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn rolled back the years as starting fullbacks, Joe Willock bolstered the legs in midfield, and Eddie Howe's team outfought a Spurs team that, OK, may not have been the toughest nut to crack, but have some talent in their ranks.New boys Elanga and, especially, Jacob Ramsey did their bit too, of course, but for old times' sake here's our traditional three-men-talking-about-football-for-45-minutes assessment of a big win in N17.
People are already calling it shambolic, a new low, embarrassing to see a man underperforming so badly... but, in Chris's defence it was supposed to be his day off.Live from St James's Park (and central Halifax), we look back at a woeful evening when Newcastle threw away a leading position, equalised, then threw away a point.Where do we go from here, other than to the Tottenham surgery... and can the attack-minded summer signings make some sort of an impact in the last three months of the season?!
Can you be dumped out of the cup in a semi-final? If so, that's what happened to Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium, and thoroughly unceremonious it was too.Needing to overturn a two-goal deficit, Omar Marmoush (x2) and Tijjani Reijnders instead gave Manchester City a five-goal cushion at the break. Despite a nice goal for Anthony Elanga and several more chances, the game had been decided almost before it begun.We consider a miserable evening, which also included a hamstring injury for Anthony Gordon, and there's a pre-match discussion of the January transfer window and a disappointing few days for The Lasses.
Newcastle have an unenviable record at many of the Premier League's more illustrious venues, but Anfield stands with the best of them.Could this time be different with Eddie Howe throwing a striker-free 4-3-3 curveball at Arne Slot and Anthony Gordon capping a positive start to give Newcastle the lead...No.
1Another trip to Paris, another 1-1 draw, but instead of deflation there was a sense of pride and encouragement. That was despite confirmation of a play-off place for Eddie's Mags rather than direct passage to the quarter-finals.A back three and some interesting rotations made it look like the manager had at least one eye on the Liverpool game but they overcame an early onslaught from the European champions and some interesting decisions from the referee. By the end, Newcastle were ruing a big missed chance for Harvey Barnes that would've won it.In this hybrid matchday/weekly episode we also look back at our live show, held at the Gosforth Civic Theatre on Friday, a great night with some very special guests.
Newcastle don't win when Bruno Guimaraes doesn't start. That holds true to a tally of eleven games now and, with PSG away in the Champions League on Wednesday, nerves are frayed in the PotT bunker at St James's Park.That PSG game is the first in a hugely testing run of fixtures, six of the next seven are also away from home, and it could be a make or break stretch for the team should they wish to challenge for a trophy again this season.It looks an increasingly difficult task and one thing that will have to change is how the squad's two strikers work with the players around them and get on the end of some chances.
A facile win over PSV Eindhoven at St James's Park means Newcastle have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time ever (big asterisk).They will now travel to Paris to face holders PSG knowing that they can finish in the top 8 of the league and bypass the first play-off round. What does success look like in the competition this season, and how is it compatible with challenging for domestic glory?We also hear from Academy Director Steve Harper after a 1-1 draw against Sunderland for the U21s helped "stop the bleeding" after some difficult results.
Why are you here?Newcastle drew 0-0 at Wolves, and it was life-draining.Honestly; listen to the podcast by all means, there's a discussion about strikers and away form and you can hear from Eddie Howe as well, but the fact you're still reading this is a cause for concern.
Newcastle United have been close to invincible in the Carabao Cup in recent years, but now face a challenge tougher than anything they've done before; go to the Etihad Stadium and turn over a two-goal deficit.In a tightly contested first leg of the semi-final, at St James's Park, Manchester City retained possession but refused to over-extend themselves and wastefulness in front of goal cost Howe's team dearly.A new mindset installed by CEO David Hopkinson urges positivity; will that culture clash with fatalistic Geordies and the reality of an injury-crisis amid a four-fronted campaign?
Another day, another madcap finish in a Newcastle match. Or should that be three?Not only did Anthony Gordon’s injury-time penalty prevent an FA Cup exit but, having seemingly won the tie through red hot Harvey Barnes late extra-time header, passage to the fourth round was up in the air again when Bournemouth equalised in the few seconds that remained.Progress they did, though. An encouraging performance from Aaron Ramsdale in the game continued as he saved three shootout penalties. Through, but is it a win? And can George finish talking about the Big Nick/Bruno penalties before the Man City game kicks off?
It's the morning after the night before; a remarkable finish in Newcastle's 4-3 Premier League win over Leeds United. We have a go at analysing some of the action, but it's a bit like trying to organise jelly; jelly that's on fire.As many thousands have already pointed out, there could have been no more fitting tribute to the great Kevin Keegan. It was lovely to see such warmth for the great man on such a cold night, and there was a show of support for Joe Willock as well.What next, then? On the up in the league, but struggling for centre halves. Is the club likely to do any business in the January transfer window, and who will line up against Bournemouth in the cup?
