True Hope is Swift: No Defence at King Power

Taylor Payne channels Mark Lawrenson and Sean Connery this week on your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. The team were full of regret this week after a thrashing at Leicester reminded them of the first rule of Newcastle Club, never be confident. Not that that will be a problem this week; back-to-back games against Liverpool and Manchester City are a daunting prospect. The January transfer window opens in just two weeks, but it's difficult to bring players in at the start of that month and, anyway, who wants to come to Newcastle right now? Hosted on Acast.

Bad Signs Banished from SJP

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with Senior Writer, and LIVING legend, George Caulkin. As the Sports Direct signs were ripped out of St James's Park, we look back at a Newcastle win, yes you read that correctly, which has put to bed much of the doom and gloom lingering from the previous ownership. We head to the Walkers Stadium next Sunday, and we managed to grab a few minutes with The Athletic's club correspondent Rob Tanner just before he jetted out to Italy for the Foxes' European tie in Naples. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stormy with a (Strong) Chance of Relegation

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. Two games have passed since our last podcast, and unfortunately the club remains winless in the Premier League. We've a special report on the dramatic draw with Norwich at St James's Park which saw Newcastle play with ten men for most of the game. With nothing going right on the pitch, we're keeping our spirits up by sticking two fingers up to all the Newcastle haters and executives who talk a lot but say nothing. Hosted on Acast.

Two Birds, Dropping Like Stones?

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and special guest, Norwich reporter Michael Bailey. Eddie Howe was forced to work from home on his first match-day as Newcastle manager; an exciting match saw his side come from behind twice to take a point against Brentford. It was encouraging, but was the result good enough? The Magpies are now the only winless side in the Premier League after Norwich City won for the first time, and then repeated the trick, swapping managers in between. Michael Bailey joins us to talk about the relegation picture as we prepare to welcome the Canaries to St James's Park. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Newcastle 2.0: Reboot Underway

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and special guests Peter Rutzler and Iain Macintosh. Peter is The Athletic's Fulham writer but was posted to Bournemouth during Eddie Howe's time at the club, and he gives chapter and verse on the way Newcastle's new manager operates. We also heard from Amanda Staveley this week, with the owners appearing at the NU Foundation dinner as well. And, we check up on The Athletic's gaming section, currently dominated by the launch of Football Manager 22, in which Newcastle are proving a popular choice for some reason. Hosted on Acast.

So Many Questions: The Answer is Howe

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh, Senior Writer George Caulkin, and special guest Oli Kay. Moments before our podcast recording (hooray!), Eddie Howe was announced as the new Head Coach and he has a gargantuan task ahead of him if he's to steer the team clear of relegation. The Athletic's Senior Football Writer Oli Kay has written about Howe's career so far and he provides us with the inside track on this exciting appointment. Elsewhere in the club, appointments have yet to be confirmed, not least the position of Sporting Director (or similar). We've an update on that and a review of the Brighton game which, while far from pretty, did see us win at least a point (well, exactly a point). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Flagging: New Manager Now Please

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. This week's special guest is representative of the Wor Flags group, Thomas Concannon. Chelsea came, they strolled, and they conquered, in a Hallowe'en match that proved nightmarish for the home supporters, despite a marvellous display from the aforementioned Wor Flags before kick-off. Recorded before the emergence of Unai Emery as the club's number one target for manager, we also discuss some of the sillier names mentioned and catch up with some U23s developments. (For more info on Wor Flags, including how to donate to future projects, go to https://worflags.org.uk/, or look for @worflags on Twitter) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wilson Wins Us a Point at Palace: Enough?

With Chris Waugh away, Taylor Payne is joined by The Athletic's Senior Writer George Caulkin, and Gallowgate Shots podcaster Stephen 'Besty' Best. After Steve Bruce's drawn-out depature, interim manager Graeme Jones took charge of the first team at Selhurst Park. The consensus is it was a good point, if a slightly fortunate one, but it may not be enough with a string of tough games between now and Christmas. When January does arrive the club will be able to recruit, but are we already behind schedule with transfer plans? It's still early days, but the new ownership structure seems to be slow making decisions, big or small. And there was another sign of indecision with the club's communications about supporters imitating arab dress. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EMERGENCY PODCAST: The Bruce Era Ends

Taylor Payne hosts ANOTHER emergency edition of Athletic's Newcastle United podcast with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin to discuss the news that Steve Bruce's time as manager is over. Bruce's future had been in serious doubt since the club was sold by Mike Ashley just days ago and, although he remained in charge for the visit of Spurs, his 1,000th game in football management, he has now left his post. The departure was described by an official club statement as "by mutual consent". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

New Era: Same Old Newcastle (For Now)

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic, in conversation with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. Tottenham were the visitors at St James' Park for the first match under the new ownership and, for a brief moment after Callum Wilson's early goal, it seemed the overwhelming wave of emotion might carry the team to victory. Unfortunately, football reality took hold and, with a significant interruption caused by a medical emergency in the stands, a sense of deflation took hold. There are many decisions for the new owners, not least the fate of manager Steve Bruce. (this episode also features an extra conversation about the breaking news concerning commercial restrictions decided at an extraordinary meeting of the Premier League clubs) Hosted on Acast.
