    Matchday: Crystal Palace (h): Ug-lifting win
    Jan 5 2026
    Newcastle United opened their account in 2026 with a Premier League win at home against Crystal Palace.
    Individual fortunes within the team were a mixed bag, Malick Thiaw and Lewis Miley were terrific again, Jacob Murphy struggled.
    The captain, Bruno Guimaraes, summed up the whole affair. It was an imperfect performance, but he scored the opener on another day when he refused to let the story end without three points for his team.

  • PotT 2026: Burnley win rounds off an epic 2025

    PotT 2026: Burnley win rounds off an epic 2025
    Jan 1 2026
    Newcastle won away... at Burnley... and made hard work of it. But, Yoane Wissa got another early goal on another debut, Joelinton put a Big Joe shift in, and we got the three points.

    Looking at the rest of 2025, it's difficult to imagine it being more of a mixed bag. Newcastle won a major domestic trophy for the first time in 70 years and celebrated like it. They also qualified for the Champions League again, and look set to qualify for the knockout stages.

    But, that away form stinks, and we had another nightmare summer. Is it too much to ask for some stability in 2026? Hopefully, Rik Mayall isn't the guy with the answer.

  • Matchday: Man United (a), Festive opportunity spurned

    Matchday: Man United (a), Festive opportunity spurned
    Dec 27 2025
    Well, that wasn't very Christmas-y, at all. Not only did Newcastle not build on the positive first-half performance at home against Chelsea, they reverted to their worst away-day selves.
    Failing to create enough chances against a heavily-depleted Manchester United team, shorn of their captain and several senior figures, we were also profligate with the few we had. It's difficult not to be feeling a bit Grinchy.

  • Christmas PotT: Newcastle's helping hands in a year of change

    Christmas PotT: Newcastle's helping hands in a year of change
    Dec 24 2025
    2025 has been a historic year for Newcastle United as they won their first domestic trophy in 70 years. Remarkably, part-way through the season, manager Eddie Howe was hospitalised with pneumonia.

    Talking about that incident, and the care he received from the NHS and Newcastle Hospitals, Howe agreed with the suggestion that nothing happens in a vacuum; the city, the people, and the football club are intrinsically linked.

    To further investigate those connections, George Caulkin spoke to Bruno Guimaraes and childrens' support project co-ordinator Melissa Scott at Newcastle's RVI. A group of first team players, including captain Bruno, paid a visit to the childrens' wards as part of the club's "A Helping Hand at Christmas" campaign.

    George also listened in as new CEO David Hopkinson addressed the audience at the "Memory Cafe", a club initiative supporting dementia sufferers and their families, and talked about the event with former player, BBC Radio commentator, and regular attendee John Anderson.

  • Matchday: Chelsea (h); Halfway... there.

    Matchday: Chelsea (h); Halfway... there.
    Dec 20 2025
    The early Saturday kick-off hasn't been kind to Newcastle in recent times, especially when it comes to fast starts.
    Different story against Chelsea today, as crowd and team were on it from the first minute. Just like old times, and at half-time the major concern was that we hadn't put the third, or even fourth, goal past Rob Sanchez.
    As energy levels dropped in the second half an improved Chelsea were able to level before a frantic last half-hour with Newcastle left ruing missed chances and at least one penalty decision at the Gallowgate End.

    Matchday: Fulham (h), EFL Cup QF; a bit more Miley, a bit more Smiley
    Dec 18 2025
    Newcastle United moved fairly comfortably through to another Carabao Cup semi-final, where they will face Manchester City, albeit needing a late Lewis Miley header to clinch the victory.
    Yoane Wissa had settled early nerves on his first start as our new number nine, scoring with his first shot, but Fulham's Sasa Lukic was given the freedom of the Gallowgate penalty area to equalise soon after.
    In this extended matchday podcast we also hear from Eddie Howe, MOTM Miley, and youth team manager Adam Lawrence on the conclusion of a difficult campaign in the UEFA Youth League.

  • Matchday: Sunderland (a); Desperation derby

    Matchday: Sunderland (a); Desperation derby
    Dec 14 2025
    Nerves were jangling going into the first Tyne-Wear derby, in the league, in almost a decade. Taylor has been feeling it even more than most, but we all had doomsday scenarios running round through our heads.
    Well, this was pretty close. Manager sets up defensively, but not even really aiming to hit them on the break (if his quotes are understood correctly). That gamble then backfires when our new striker scores with a magnificent header... at the wrong end.
    In addition, Dan Burn was forced off with suspected broken ribs leaving us dangerously short of numbers in defensive positions and with no respite in view on the fixture list.
    If you're still reading this, you might well be one of our newest listeners from south South Shields. Fingers crossed you're only here this once. Enjoy ;).

  • Derby arousal: Sunderland jitters after late lapse in Leverkusen

    Derby arousal: Sunderland jitters after late lapse in Leverkusen
    Dec 11 2025
    Our stomachs are turning, and it's not because of wriggly worms (although in Chris's case, it may be bratwurst). It's the first league derby in almost a decade, and we are nervous, just like our expert fans, Thomas Concannon and Lisa Mole.
    Nervous, because we are the football team with the bigger reputation, which means we've got more to lose. But also, because we keep conceding late in games, and did so again in the Champions League on Wednesday.
    Having conceded from a set piece (another theme), Howe's men had fought their way back to lead in Germany before Alejandro Grimaldo snuck through to level. We're not in a bad position in the competition, but it could have been better, and anyway, it's all about the derby now.
