Stark Waughs: NUFC strike back to take point at Brighton
A long time ago, at an AMEX arena far, far away... Chris Waugh watched a Jason Tindall-less Newcastle United fight back to draw against Brighton.Yankuba Minteh's goal, followed by a bizarre series of reactions, had seemingly put a dent in our Champions League pursuit, but referee Craig Pawson's third penalty award survived VAR and Isak slotted home.Meanwhile, closer to home at Blackburn's Ewood Park, NUFC Women rounded off an encouraging debut season in the second tier with a 5-1 win. We speak to manager Becky Langley at length on the lessons learned and what we can expect next term. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eddie Howe back to work as Newcastle overwhelm Ipswich
The last month has been quite a rollercoaster for Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe. From the ecstasy of our Carabao Cup win to the agony, and anxiety, of a brush with pneumonia. On Saturday, he returned to the dugout, and despite his admission he's not quite 100% yet, it was a huge boost for everyone.Alexander Isak's 22nd Premier League goal of the season, plus a pair of headers from Dan Burn and Will Osula, helped see off the ten men of Ipswich, but there was plenty of debate around the performance of the match officials.We also hear from three magnificent women, including George's mam on her birthday! The Lasses(TM), finished their home campaign with a draw against title challengers Birmingham City, and we said farewell to club captain Grace Donnelly and goalscorer Rachel Furness (at least as a player).For more information on Mark Allison's run across America, and to donate, go to http://rungeordierun.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Palace home; glorious, especially compared to Villa
It's a tale of two Uniteds this week. First up; a magnificent demolition of Crystal Palace when everyone scored, even Isak.And while Villa away was a Saturday to forget, the podcast team seem to have a lot more trouble remembering the details from earlier in the week.Either way, we are shrugging it all off and looking forward to an exciting run-in. Ipswich is the first of a crucial trio of home games; will Howe return to the dugout? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Doing the Manchester United double: now that IS delicious!
Eddie Howe's illness, while obviously a concern for everyone, did not disrupt Newcastle's focus on a Super Sunday. Newcastle's senior teams won 10-1 on aggregate as The Lasses put promotion disappointment behind them with six unanswered goals against Blackburn.Manchester United, meanwhile, left St James's Park with their tails between their legs; our midfield trio bullying them into submission. Kevin Keegan wasn't there to see his Wor Flags tribute, but he must have savoured our first league double over the Red Devils in 94 years.Two huge games this week for the boys with Crystal Palace calling on Wednesday night before a trip to Aston Villa; Champions League qualification is now less a hope than an expectation.

Bees and Foxes dispatched: Cup final response pleases Howe
Newcastle United took six Premier League points from their first two games after winning the Carabao Cup, albeit three of them were a little easier than the others.Brentford came to St James's Park and put up a fight, equalising through Mbeumo before Tonali's not-a-worldie saved the victory in another "game-state" triumph.Then to Leicester, the third leg of George's relegation odyssey, and a sorry state of affairs where Newcastle only needed second gear to win (despite Fabian Schar's best efforts). Champions League football looks likelier than not now and we don't fear anyone, least of all Manchester United.Watch Fabian Schar's teenage wondergoal for FC Wil here: https://x.com/jwhitey98/status/1909330496955584698 Hosted on Acast.
