Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast with Senior Writer George Caulkin and club correspondent Chris Waugh.

Newly promoted Bournemouth came to St James's Park with a predictable gameplan, but Eddie Howe's Newcastle side were unable to break down the low block despite having the lion's share of possession. We examine our own frustration and try to figure out if it's justified. It was a similar story for Newcastle's women at Kingston Park, Chorley providing a stumbling block one again.

There's an international break for the men now, with the real prospect of Nick Pope starting in goal for England, and we should at least one important attacking player back to face Fulham in October.

Important Note: no Georges were harmed in the making of this podcast.
