In an effort to recapture the magic of our (frankly) unexpectedly magnificent result at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup, Chris and George attempted to retrace their tyre-treads and summon the power of Tebay.
Unfortunately, this sequel proved to be as uninspired as many Hollywood cash grabs, and our duo returned to the North East with their very damp tails between their very knackered legs. A thorough dissection of Newcastle's FA Cup exit is attempted, but meat-based diversions abound.
As it is, we've got cup fever, and the only prescription is more from The Lasses (TM). Their magnificent comeback win at Wolves maintained their seemingly unstoppable momentum as they prepare for the FAWNL Cup Final at Kenilworth Road.

We're recording after Eddie Howe's pre-match press conference and everyone is excited about the FA Cup quarter final at the Etihad, nobody more than Chris Waugh it seems.
Is there any scope for optimism going into this one with our terrible record at City? George thinks so, and he mounts a strong defence of Newcastle's local lads who have been playing through the pain in a difficult season.
Whether this is the end of the road for Eddie Howe's squad in its current form is another matter, with the manager suggesting radical changes in personnel will be difficult to achieve this summer.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle threw away any positive momentum they had built with the wins against Blackburn and Wolves with an abject defensive performance at Chelsea.
Chris Waugh was at Stamford Bridge covering Newcastle for The Athletic and he recounts tales of embarrassment and woe, on and off the pitch, to Taylor Payne and George Caulkin.
A daunting trip to Manchester CIty next for Howe and the boys, which we'll preview on Friday, but the lasses keep on winning (in the Midlands)

Newcastle's outgoing Sporting Director Dan Ashworth has left a hole at the centre of his metaphorical wheel. Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and George Caulkin mangle ananalogies aplenty as they try to shed some light on the current state of affairs in the executive lounge.
No association football for us until Sunday, when The LassesTM head to Stourbridge. The formbook says three points for the Mags in that one but it's not so clear for Stamford Bridge on Monday night. The fortunes of two fullbacks, both Chelsea Academy products, come into focus ahead of that game.

What's this... a home win!? Eddie Howe's men found their SJP mojo on Saturday, inspired by the returning Joe Willock and the evergreen trio of Schar, Bruno, and Gordon... and with Isak back on the scoresheet, things are really looking up.
Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and Jacob Whitehead are your trio of brothers-in-arms this Monday revelling in three points, three goals, and a bench overflowing with attacking talent (alright, but you get the idea).
The Lasses (TM) were three up inside fifteen minutes at Stoke; another great result as they hunt down the FAWNL Premier North title. However, if you're trying to work out the points target, be warned; it's not straightforward.

The captain of Newcastle United WFC, Amber-Keegan Stobbs, joins the pod as we dissect the FA Cup Fifth Round tie at Blackburn and relive last weekend's win over Portsmouth in the FAWNL Cup.
Martin Dubravka was the undisputed hero at Ewood Park but Fabian Schar's penalty has George all confused due to its super-sexy non-twattedness and we were all mightily impressed by Elliot Anderson's first kick of a football in four months.
Confidence is in short supply for the men, though, and they were sluggish, especially in the first half. Amber helps us understand the importance of confidence, both for individuals and teams.

Taylor, George, and Chris are all a little discombobulated recording on a Sunday night (!) after a strange, terrible, lovely weekend.
On Saturday night Eddie Howe's men put in one of, if not the, worst performance since he became manager. All of which left us asking various questions, like: is Sven Botman struggling with his knee, where has the 'nasty' Newcastle gone, and was there even a bus?
However, as we record on Sunday evening, there's a warm glow taking over because Langley's lasses, aka Newcastle Women, have reached the FAWNL Cup Final having beaten Portsmouth 2-1 in front of 22 thousand people at St James's Park.

It's been several years in the making (or it feels like that, anyway) but George Caulkin's long-anticipated feature on Newcastle United's women's team has finally been published.
We'll hear from some of the players on how things have changed since the takeover, their lives inside and outside football, and the excitement of playing at St James's Park (which just happens to be coming up this weekend).
...there's a quick update on Dan Ashworth's departure, and a preview of the men's game at Arsenal to boot, but it's all about the lasses today.
(for tickets to see NUFC Women v Portsmouth at St James's Park on Sunday 25th February, click here)

So, it's official: Dan Ashworth has asked Newcastle United for permission to leave so he can take up a new role at Manchester United. We consider the possible terms of his departure with Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh.
On the pitch, Saturday's draw at home to Bournemouth showed up the deficiencies of Eddie Howe's current set-up once again. We have another sift through the big BDB debate (the BBDBD), lament VAR delays, and just generally try to get our heads around a weird season.
Less of a mystery is the position of Newcastle's women at the top of the table. Becky Langley explains why they are flying the flag for something bigger than just one club's success.

Host Taylor Payne has failed to shake off a nasty, throaty cough, for another week and is thinking he will have to accommodate it indefinitely. Meanwhile, Jacob Whitehead returns to the podcast with George Caulkin seconded to a luxury spa for some rest and recuperation.
There's no rest for Chris Waugh, though, with an approach for executive Dan Ashworth from Manchester United ruining an eagerly anticipated post-January lull.
And, of course, there's no rest at all for Eddie Howe's injury-blighted Mags. They will have to face Bournemouth without Callum Wilson after the former Cherry was ruled out for several weeks.

Chris's first away game in a decade saw him at loggerheads with Eddie Howe; we comb the pre- and post-match press conferences, more for entertainment value than any solid info.
Travel is very much on the agenda today, with Bruno's smile as wide as the Trent after he and Fabian Schar delivered three more points at the City Ground.
More smiles on Sunday at Burnley as the lasses firmed up their place atop FAWNL Premier Division North, but there's one smile that George would rather forget...

Chris Waugh has been "taking the temperature" of The Athletic's Newcastle subscribers, and the results are surprisingly optimistic given the apparent dip in performance after last season.
Eddie Howe's men travel to Nottingham on Saturday, grateful for the FA Cup replay that took Forest to extra time and penalties on Wednesday night, as well as the absence of the Boxing Day Ballon d'Or, Chris Wood. It's going to be a VERY special away game, for one important reason; listen on to find out.
...and on Sunday there's a 'hewj' game at Burnley as our women take on another title rival hoping to put clear air between themselves and their third-placed opponents.

Saturday's game against Luton at St James's Park was truly bonkers, and George's attempt to tame the madness with a new format is going about as well as his very audible effort to herd his cats.
So, instead, we've embraced the chaos. Get ready to understand less about that match after listening to this podcast.
Wor Flags delivered a popular message against hostile kick-off times (and, also, Chris Waugh) on Saturday, but they doubled up with a tribute to Becky Langley on Sunday to boot. Langley's lasses, featuring two debutants, duly delivered against Wolves.

Twelve hours in a car with Luke Edwards at the end of the longest January transfer desert in living memory has put George over the top. That's bad news for all concerned, especially Chris.
Taylor tries to hold it together but with very little support, not even from Jacob, it's a case of chaos winning... much like Tuesday night at Villa Park. Have Fabian Schar and the rest of Eddie Howe's corner-turning Mags set up a season-redeeming run with this magnificent victory?
With additional love for Miggy, incoming transfers (not the senior men's team, sadly), and Langley's double-chasing lasses, it's a bumper episode... hold tight!

Taylor Payne, Chris Waugh, and George Caulkin (well, two of them) are in a very chipper mood despite some inclement weather, because Newcastle United won at Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round, something that simply hasn't happened at this football club in a very long time.
It was a great atmosphere at Craven Cottage on Saturday night, Alan Shearer in attendance, of course, and it was just the tonic with transfer window stress and a trip to Aston Villa on the horizon.
Meanwhile, the lasses booked their place in the FAWNL Cup semi-finals. With Forest beating Burnley in the league, their destiny is at their own feet once again and they'll be looking to build on their win at Fylde when they face Wolves this Sunday.

The storm has subsided somewhat, but there are still transfer rumours swirling around three or four senior Newcastle players. Will anyone truly test Newcastle's resolve and, with injuries still rife, can we risk a sale to 'unlock' potential reinforcements.
The club have agreed a deal for a box-to-box midfielder in the shape of Manchester CIty's Alfie Harrison. However, is a prodigious 18 year-old intended to be used in the Premier League this season?
And, with the women facing Fylde in the FAWNL cup, Eddie Howe's men head to Craven Cottage on Saturday for an FA Cup tie against a good Fulham team who gave Liverpool a bit of a Carabao scare on Wednesday night.

George Caulkin was absent on Monday, but rumours of his departure from Pod on the Tyne are WAY wide of the mark... or are they?! After all, football is a lie and you never know who to believe, especially in January.
Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson were both strongly linked with moves away from Newcastle in the last few days and, as we recorded, there was another story, this time connecting Miguel Almiron with a move to Saudi Arabia. Also, Miguel Almiron is reportedly on the move to Saudi Arabia.
Newcastle's women were looking for three points at home on Sunday, with an added bonus of potentially putting opponents Nottingham Forest out of the title race. Sadly, with Storm Isha raging through Kingston Park, and Albatross George in tow, it was heartbreak for the hosts and a three-team title race is a real possiblity.

Eddie Howe's men are getting the weekend off, so we've opened the floor to questions and we got plenty...
In no particular order: should Eddie Howe be adapting our style of play more drastically, who is going to help the midfield while we're without so many players, WHEN WILL THOSE PLAYERS RETURN(!), and are we really at the absolute limits of what we can spend on transfers?
...and, after George's late withdrawal, the mantle of getting on Chris's nerves is taken up by Jacob, Taylor, and most of the people sending in questions.

Taylor Payne is joined by George Caulkin and Chris Waugh for a Manchester-holics anonymous meeting after our leading men and women were downed by the blue and red halves of the city respectively.
For Eddie Howe's men, it signalled a return to something like the Newcastle United of last season. Unfortunately, it wasn't so much a Pep talk as the strength of the champions' bench that told in the end.
Meanwhile, Becky Langley's NUFC Women lost their absurd unbeaten record against one of the strongest teams in the game. Players and fans did themselves proud, though, and there's a huge league game coming up to start afresh.

Jacob Whitehead returns to the podcast, albeit slightly later than scheduled, which makes it an awesome foursome as we look ahead to a HUGE weekend of football. Before that, though, Chris summarises the headlines from Newcastle United's latest financial results and the consequences for the ongoing January transfer window and beyond.
A double date with destiny, then, and we're looking to the stars for some optimism as Eddie Howe's men aim to take all three points in a fixture that usually yields none; the stats prove Manchester City are our toughest Premier League opponents, but we live in hope.
Meanwhile, it feels like the women's team have real hope of progress in the Adobe FA Cup, and that's despite facing one of the real big guns. Manchester United finished second in the WSL last season but Katie Barker is confident and now, we are as well.
