Taylor Payne hosts your go-to podcast from The Athletic with expert insight and forthright opinions from club correspondent Chris Waugh and our Senior Writer, George Caulkin.It was the transfer deadline day we all feared. After the happy surprise that was the permanent signing of Joe Willock, noises from the club suggested that was it for incoming transfers. Despite ourselves, we hoped in vain for a loan or two, and it seemed the team boss was similarly let down.For the first time in Steve Bruce's reign as Newcastle manager, the crowd at St James's Park sung for his sacking, and he is clearly feeling the pressure. Can he turn it round with such a threadbare squad? Only time will tell. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Taylor Payne hosts your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with Senior Football Writer George Caulkin providing expert insight.We're now two games into the new Premier League season and Steve Bruce's team have yet to win a point. They've conceded six goals so far, scoring just twice, and it's difficult to ignore the memories of last season's horrendous run.Fortunately, playwright and author Michael Chaplin has written a beautiful and timely memoir of his time in the stands at St James's Park. He stops by the pod to lighten our spirits with memories of some great players past and, in doing so, sparks a little hope for the future. Hosted on Acast.

The Athletic's Senior Football Writer George Caulkin makes his seasonal debut on our definitive Newcastle United podcast alongside increasingly senior club correspondent Chris Waugh and host Taylor Payne.The Toon kicked off the new Premier League in disappointing fashion, losing 4-2 at home to West Ham, and that despite holding the lead at half-time. The defence looked vulnerable, and we discuss how that might be addressed, whether through tactical changes or fresh personnel.But, we're trying to be positive about things this season and Joe Willock brought a cheer to St James' Park at the weekend. The new signing was introduced to a full house and his mum made the most of a hearty welcome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the eve of the new season, and time for a squad audit (a squaudit?) on The Athletic's definitive Newcastle United podcast.Host Taylor Payne is joined by our club correspondent, Chris Waugh, for a full and frank assessment of the strength of Steve Bruce's squad. Several of our players suffered reputational damage as the team under-performed last term, so who will step up this time?And, with Joe Willock looking a likely recruit for a fee in excess of twenty million pounds, will that be the sum total of our transfer business this summer, and if not, which areas will we look to fortify?

It's the return of your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic, hosted by Taylor Payne and featuring club correspondent Chris Waugh.

In the hotseat was with Callum Wilson, Newcastle's star striker and the latest in an illustrious line of hitmen to wear the famous number nine shirt.Interviewing Wilson was perhaps the very best of those, Alan Shearer, and it's 25 years since he was recruited from Blackburn Rovers for a world record fee.

Taylor Payne hosts this very special edition of your go-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with the help of club correspondents Chris Waugh and George Caulkin. This is our best attempt to sum up the events of an indescribable season.Truly a rollercoaster of emotions, and success, it's been a remarkable year in many ways. Steve Bruce's side accumulated points apace in an early-season surge before plunging into seemingly irreversible decline and despair.That they did manage to recover and rise to 12th position on the closing day was testament to all concerned, but especially Callum Wilson, Joe Willock, and Allan St Maximin. We'll look back at the last two matches, which saw fans return to the stands, and pick out those worthy of mention in an impromptu awards ceremony. Hosted on Acast.
