Gautrat exclusive: post-Liverpool fallout
The men's team showed incredible steel and determination without Alexander Isak against Liverpool. What does it all mean as we go into the last few days of the UK transfer window?
Under Becky Langley, Newcastle's women are intent on getting promoted from WSL2 (formerly the Championship) at the second time of asking.
They have made some statement signings in recent years (and already this summer!) but perhaps none like USWNT star, two-time World Cup winner Morgan Gautrat. George greeted our new signing at St James's Park.

Matchday PotT: Liverpool (h)
It’s only our second matchday PotT but it may already be the biggest one of the season. Liverpool come to St James’s Park with Alexander Isak absent as he tries to secure a transfer (Anfield the only credible destination this summer).
That’s not forgetting, of course, that Newcastle broke a 70-year domestic trophy drought last season with a Carabao Cup win OVER Liverpool.
There are so many narratives and so much emotion being directed into the game, it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype and deliver another Premier League classic… could it?!

Making a statement: Isak escalates as Liverpool come calling
Alexander Isak finally had his say on his absence from NUFC's first team activities, via a statement on Instagram. Club officials sprang into action with a response.
There's little doubt, now, about how Isak feels about his future but without replacement strikers and a suitable bid, it's still difficult to see him getting a move away.
All this leaves Eddie Howe without a centre forward for Monday night's game against Isak's main (only?!) suitors, Liverpool. We speak to The Anfield Wrap's Neil Atkinson about attackers, rivalry, and the dreaded bantz.

PotT's NUFC Q&A at the GCT
Right, here it is as promised, our post-summer Q&A recorded from the Gosforth Civic Theatre, where we ARE hoping to return to the stage very soon.
With the arrival of Jacob Ramsey, there's basically just one position on everyone's minds now, and we fill you in on modern transfer techniques, being thorough about the news, and whether Newcastle can do without a striker (TLDR, they can't).
There's an update, of sorts, on the executive positions that so desperately need filling, and the subsequent stadium stasis, plus Chris is caught saveloy-handed.
