It's a (very loosely) Halloween themed show this week, with most of the team blowing raspberries in foggy London town. Newcastle's defence were scared stiff by Cole Palmer in a Saturday horror show at Stamford Bridge.
Can Howe exorcise the ghost in the machine, or will the Pensioners be back to haunt us again at St James's Park on Wednesday? Meanwhile, Chris Waugh finds himself in a deserted hotel with a giant striker making the most of what time he has left playing football.
...And we revisit mutually exclusive memories of Arsenal contests past with special guest, host of The Athletic's "Handbrake Off" Arsenal podcast, comedian Ian Stone.
(Ian's tour dates, including tickets for his Newcastle date on November 16th can be found on his website.)

It was the sort of weekend that needs an extra day to get over. Eddie Howe's men dominated the first half hour (or hour, depending on who you ask) against Brighton. They played some of their best football of the season so far, and created a hatful of chances.
Unfortunately, they didn't score any of them and lost.
On Sunday, Becky Langley's Lasses squared up to well fancied Charlton Athletic in the Women's Championship, played electric football on the break, and Shania Hayles continued her hot form streak by scoring our first ever hat-trick at this level.
Unfortunately, we lost the skipper to a second yellow and conceded twice in injury time to drop two points.
The Lasses have a week off now for internationals, while the men head to Chelsea this coming weekend. Can we find our scoring boots and get one over on our rivals for the European places at a ground where joy has been few and far between?

There's only one buzzword doing the rounds this week, after Beth Lumsden scored both goals to fire Newcastle's women to victory at the Stadium of Light, banishing the agony of last week's defeat against Durham.
Meanwhile, the threat of an offer to Eddie Howe from England is gone for a while, at least, with the appointment of Thomas Tuchel to the Three Lions. Might that bode well for the international prospects of some Newcastle players?
Howe's squad will reunite this week to prepare for Brighton, for whom Newcastle "old boy" Yankuba Minteh seems to be enjoying his new surroundings. He has that in common with another ex-Mag, now at Toronto FC. Matty Longstaff has been speaking to Chris.

Jacob Whitehead returns as the black sheep of the podcast, now a sworn enemy deep into 'Everton week'. Two draws, several missed penalties, and a bit of "pageantry" has been and gone, and we're all none the wiser. Who will be wearing opposition colours at the live show later this week?!
Eddie Howe's men dominated possession, inevitably, at Goodison Park and had some chances (albeit not as many as they perhaps should), but Jordan Pickford's penalty save and some profligacy put paid to our chances of a win on the road.
Langley's lasses got a well-earned point in the league cup in midweek (there was a penalty shoot-out which didn't matter) and then in the Championship Durham were the visitors for our first of two local derbies. A hard-fought, high octane contest ended in heartbreak as Durham nicked it at the death.

Taylor is OK, George is relieved, and Chris is very tired indeed. Wimbledon at home in the Carabao Cup proved to be the most arduous and mind-numbing ninety minutes of football we've sat through in quite some time.
It WAS stress-free, though, which is saying something after several nail-biters over the opening weeks of the season. Following the worrying scenes at Fulham Eddie Howe wanted to see more from his big players, not least Anthony Gordon. Thanks to a boost from Wor Flags, and a shift from the lads, we got the best performance in a decent while.
The lasses have started their season very well indeed, but they've got two big tests coming up in the shape of Durham and, first, a league cup tie against Everton. The boys will also face Everton this weekend and the newest member of our team delivers a particularly mild brand of trash talk.

A little earlier than planned after some seriously inclement weather in Wimbledon, Taylor Payne runs the rule over the last seven days in NUFC-land.
It's been coming, but that doesn't offer much consolation after a pretty miserable Saturday afternoon at Craven Cottage. Eddie Howe's misfiring Mags finally lost a game despite the best efforts of Harvey Barnes, whose scoring stats have earned a remarkable comparison.
Where has our intensity gone, what is the strongest XI, and why are none of our big guns firing? Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead attempt to get to the bottom of a frustrating conundrum before Manchester City come calling.
No such problems for Becky Langley's Lasses. They got their first ever second-tier win, remain unbeaten, and face an already-struggling Portsmouth next. With Shania Hayles hitting the ground running, spirits are high.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle earned themselves another three Premier League points on Sunday with a performance at Molineux that would have had Erwin Schrodinger ordering several more boxes. Was it good, or bad, or both, or all three? Yes.
Whatever it was, we are now experiencing the club's best Premier League start since 1995 (we weren't bad back then), and Howe used the bench to great effect once again. What can we expect at Fulham? No idea, but we're strangely confident.
Nowhere near as confident, though, as Amy Andrews. She topped the scoring charts for Durham last season but very much has her sights set on bigger things, and that has to be good news for Newcastle's challenge in the Women's Championship this time round.

The lads are leggy; no, not Eddie's men, but our weary podcasters who are fighting DOMs and post-race bugs after the Great North Run.
But, we'll endeavour to bring you a balanced view of the last few days in Newcastle United, featuring the aftermath of a media briefing with new Sporting Director Paul Mitchell. It's fair to say it could have gone better.
The Lasses had clear channels of communication as they put on a solid showing in their first league game of the new season. How will they fare in the second tier? Pretty well, if this draw at fancied London City Lionesses is a true picture.
The club's next Premier League fixture comes at Wolverhampton, with Chris in attendance, and spirits should be high after a successful set of international fixtures for most of our participants.

What a week that was! The full podcast team assemble to discuss a crazy seven days during which Newcastle United's transfer plans came to nought amid rumours of a late (panicky?) tilt at Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga.
That came after the lengthy pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi was finally abandoned on deadline day. The club did sign a player from Palace, though, with Becky Langley bringing in Isabella Sibley from the WSL outfit before their first game of the new Women's Championship season.
Every Newcastle fan knows, when you're having a rough time of it, there's only one solution. Spurs at St James's Park. This wasn't quite the rout of the last two years, but Harvey Barnes continued his hot streak and Alexander Isak got off the mark for an uplifting 2-1 win to take Howe's men into the international break.

Taylor Payne is joined by Chris Waugh and professional Chris Waugh stand-in Jacob Whitehead for another weekly recap in the mad, mad, mad, world of Newcastle United.
We wanted a routine result at Bournemouth, but that's hoping against hope and we got another stressful, frustrating afternoon. However, Eddie Howe was able to fix several problems with his bench and a draw is not the end of the world.
There's also the encouragement of a return for Sandro Tonali, might he start the cup tie at Forest? And, of course, there's a transfer deadline on Friday with at least one major signing expected, if not guaranteed.

Taylor, George, and Chris are keeping a lid on their rage, much like St. James's Park after Ben Brereton Diaz bought Fabian Schar a red in Newcastle's Premier League opener against Southampton.
As it turned out, a show of extreme resolution from Howe's men - especially the three-man midfield featuring stand-out performer Joelinton - delivered three precious points and we head to Bournemouth without Chris in tow, obviously, but with a united squad and another week in the legs.
When is a bid not a bid? Schrodinger's transfer saga, and that's what it is, shows no signs of coming to a conclusion with Marc Guehi taking the field for Crystal Palace amid a sea of mis- and, probably, dis-information about a potential move to the Northeast.

There's a warm glow on the podcast this week after we announced another live date at the Gosforth Civic Theatre (tickets here: https://www.gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk/pod-on-the-tyne-live), and we're setting stress aside as we welcome the eve of a new Premier League season.
Newcastle United scored two more famous Sela Cup victories at differing stages of their pre-season prep, with Eddie Howe's men even earning a superfluous 4-0 win over Girona to boot! Alexander Isak continues to look a million dollars with his teammates chomping at the bit; Southampton beware...
Becky Langley's NUFC Women won't square up for Championship action until September, but they have recruited impressively, with one or two more to come. Add that to the talent already on Tyneside, and back-to-back-to-back promotions are under discussion.

Pod on the Tyne returns after our summer holidays, all except one straggler; no prizes for guessing who that might be...
It's been an incredibly busy break, so we catch up on everything that went on, and didn't go on, after the stressful PSR deadline, management changes, and several transfer deals, (with more in the offing!).
And there's a rundown of the pre-season tour of Japan, not just from our man in Tokyo, George Caulkin, but with an exclusive diary from inside the squad!

With Pod On The Tyne on their summer break, we bring you an episode first released on The Athletic FC Podcast looking into Newcastle United's mad dash to comply with PSR ahead of the June 30th deadline.
Chris Waugh is alongside Ayo Akinwolere and The Athletic's football correspondent David Ornstein to discuss how Newcastle found a way to balance the books as well as looking at what the situation is at St James’ Park for the rest of the summer transfer window?
Meanwhile, Taylor, George and Chris will be back with Pod On The Tyne at the start of August ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.

George and Chris take to the mic without the calming presence of regular host Taylor Payne, and it's a traumatic affair after Manchester United shocked their neighbours in the FA Cup final to deprive Eddie Howe's Newcastle of a place in Europe.
With the second leg of our post-season tour in Australia landing like a gnat on a windscreen, it's been quite a rocky week for the club; co-owner Amanda Staveley even took to Instagram to make an unusual apology.
But, what does it all mean for the future? Will the lack of European football have an immediate impact on management and planning. And, why are Rafa's 2017 Mags so hot right now?

Blood, sweat, tears... a seemingly unending slog with torn thighs, visceral noise, and extreme emotion. But, that's enough about Chris's breakfast...
Eddie Howe's Newcastle United, after one of the most arduous campaigns in the club's history, are currently in Australia playing back-to-back friendlies. But, with the league schedule done and dusted we can look back over a season of remarkable moments, a mountain of goals, and yes, some gut-wrenching defeats as well.
As we look to the future, there's optimism about where this team and NUFC Women are headed, even if we are relying on someone else to get us one more positive result. To be fair, though, it is Manchester City.

It's the hope that kills you, and former "World's Grumpiest Man" George Caulkin, made the fatal error of going to Old Trafford to report on Newcastle United with positive expectations.
Knowing they could, and perhaps should, win the game, Eddie Howe's team created their own downfall, albeit they got some assistance from the VAR unit (is their brief reign coming to an end?)
Was it missed chances or haphazard defending that cost us the game, and potentially a European place next season? Does it matter? Why are we here? Did you leave the iron on? Big questions, vague answers.

Newcastle's final home game of the season ended in a draw for Eddie Howe's men against Brighton. Slightly disappointing? Probably, but the home form overall has been pretty spectacular.
If they are to qualify for Europe, though, they'll have to take points on the road at Manchester United, where they've won one league game in 51 years, and at Brentford. Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn are confident, and so are we.
With a round-up of some awards news, congratulations to Gateshead, and a birthday to celebrate, it's a bright, breezy, spring edition of PotT!

Eddie Howe's Europe-chasing Mags have a crucial period coming up, starting with the last home game of the Premier League season as an unsettled Brighton travel to St James's Park.
Chris is worryingly confident, but with Anthony Gordon winning pens all over the gaffe and potential starts for returning players like Pope, Joelinton, and Miggy Almiron, you can maybe understand where he's coming from.
There's an update on the club's pursuit of a new sporting director. It seeems we are down to the last two candidates, with Dougie Freedman rumoured to be the front-runner... and, we reminisce about Newcastle "flops" who have flourished elsewhere, after Joselu, (Joselu!) scored twice to send Real Madrid to the Champions League final!
