Pod On The Tyne: The Athletic FC's Newcastle United show

It's the morning after the night before and Taylor Payne and Chris Waugh are in Dortmund, with George Caulkin tuning in from our London bureau.Not the result we wanted from Signal Iduna Park; Newcastle started slowly and could never gain the upper hand against a Borussia side who showed their experience once again.But, let's not forget (on the second anniversary of Eddie Howe's appointment), sobering results like this are now a rarity and despite the Premier League's worst list of absences, the squad will pick themselves up and take everything they've got to Bournemouth on Saturday... unlike Chris.

A (very) familiar face joins the crew to look back at another remarkable win for Eddie Howe's men, who defied a mounting injury list to deliver another home clean sheet and three points against Arsenal.An intensely fought contest didn't provide much by way of chances for either side, but Anthony Gordon's second-half strike survived three VAR investigations, provoking an as post-match rant from visiting manager Mikel Arteta.Next up, a trip to Germany and a Tuesday night teatime kick-off in a pivotal Champions League Group F fixture.

An epic road trip, a sensational performance by Newcastle's second (& third?) string, and a moment of pure catharsis for more than seven thousand geordies. Powered by Carabao, this is Pod on the Tyne!Valentino Livramento has started two games this season and has won the man of the match award on both occasions, but with Kieran Trippier driving Newcastle forward, how can we make better use of our starlet?There were so many magical stories, Emil Krafth's return, Gordon up top, and Lewis Hall scoring his first senior goal, and how(!), as Newcastle's seventeen fullbacks made a mockery of Manchester United on their home turf. This team continue to defy the odds, there's every chance they'll do so again when Arsenal come calling on Saturday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The lads are getting used to life without Jacob, which will be the case for about ten days, and Chris is less than thrilled about having to restart work with a Caulkin road trip!Two more Callum Wilson goals brought a creditable point at Wolves but, with Eddie's Mags down to the bare bones, nerves might be jangling on the way to Old Trafford; especially if George's trip to Morrisons yields all the Carabao he's promising.Becky Langley's lasses got "League Cup week" off to a good start, though, with a superb home win against Forest (albeit not the home home they expected).

A poorly Taylor Payne holds court with Chris Waugh, George Caulkin and, for the last time in his official capacity as a full-time Newcastle reporter, Jacob Whitehead.It's no inquest, though. A physical Borussia Dortmund, with a plan, and one or two injury blows threw us slightly off our stride, which is enough to make the difference at the elite level.With Tonali's ten month ban now confirmed, we will take a depleted squad to Wolverhampton hoping for three Premier League points with no more injuries.

Taylor Payne is playing mediator, albeit not a very neutral one, with George Caulkin and Chris Waugh at loggerheads. Could it be the least interesting feud in history?Perhaps we're restless because everything is going so well on the pitch. Crystal Palace were no match for Newcastle at St James's Park on Saturday; Dortmund should provide a stiffer test on Wednesday.Becky Langley's NUFC Women also strolled to victory on Sunday and there was a heartening reception for Sandro Tonali with news imminent on his punishment for illegal betting.Donate to the NUFC staff charity challenge here.

We're all together again for our only podcast of the week, and our first opportunity to react to the huge news that Sandro Tonali has been implicated in an illegal betting scandal from his time in Italy.Details are emerging in waves, albeit at a hectic pace, but it looks like Tonali will face a lengthy ban from football. We consider the implications for the player himself and for the team and the club.Not many goals to talk about on the pitch: it was a slightly disappointing result for Becky Langley's women, despite a dominant performance against league leaders Burnley, and nil-nil is often the score when Crystal Palace visit in the Premier League.

Live from the Gosforth Civic Theatre in the heart of *checks notes* Newcastle's most middle class suburb, it's our stage debut!With special guest Alan from Work(!!!!), Taylor and the boys look back at a magnificent two-year spell since the takeover and rejoice in last week's battering of Paris Saint-Germain.Please note; although a lot of saucy audience-only stuff has been removed (including the whole of part two, a live Q&A) this podcast still has some tasty language, even by our grubby standards. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Full house again on our last podcast before we go live to the geordie nation at Gosforth Civic Theatre on Thursday night.Alexander Isak flipped a tired performance on its head with two goals as Eddie Howe's men came from behind to lead West Ham at the London Stadium. Unfortunately, they couldn't see out the game, but a point feels pretty good after a momentous week and we're in decent shape going into the international break.No such problems for the women's team. Bridget Galloway kept her magical run going as Becky Langley's lasses ran out comfortable winners at Liverpool Feds; they will take a 100% record into their home game with unbeaten Burnley on Saturday.(Jacob's article on Alexander Isak referenced in the show can be found at: https://theathletic.com/4531978/2023/08/08/alexander-isak-explosion-newcastle/) Hosted on Acast.
