How can you mend a broken podcast? With the show in the can, Bruno fired the starting pistol on 24 hours of headlines, and here we are with a second attempt.

Still digesting Sandro Tonali’s exit, and the destination, we were suddenly having to deal with the potential departure of club captain, star player, and frankly the driving force of the team. Bruno Guimaraes has apparently registered his desire to join Arsenal with...

It's an unscheduled transfer podcast as Tottenham Hotspur FC, who have finished seventeenth in the last two editions of the Premier League, agree to pay up to £100m for Sandro Tonali.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have agreed to pay something like £40m to Bundesliga side Hoffenheim for left-winger Bazoumana Toure.

The summer had been going OK; Newcastle's first two transfers (one in, one out) had been conducted, seemingly with the minimum of fuss and in good time. It couldn't last.
As the Premier League transfers are announced for next season, we get the inevitable opener against a side who has swooped late, once again, to clinch the signing of one of our transfer targets.
If that was bad, a transfer of Sandro Tonali to the basket...

Newcastle have signed Ewen Jaouen, a french U21 goalkeeper from FC Reims, and the lads have been recalled from their summer break for an emergency(-ish) reaction pod.
Chris has a rundown of all the key details, but with a fairly hefty price tag for the highly rated young stopper, how much of a risk is this move? And what will it mean for Newcastle's goalkeeping department?
We also get a bit of expert testament from one o...

Right, that’s the end of that. Frankly, thank f**k it’s over.

2025/26 held much promise for Newcastle United, even after the I**k transfer saga ruined the summer. In the end, despite some creditable performances and results in cup competitions, it ends with a stale smell hanging in the air.

Join us as we use a series of award categories to make some sense of an epic campaign in a marathon review. From Bruno’s ...

It's a hastily assembled triple-headline Pod on the Tyne for you this week...
Thomas Tuchel selected three Newcastle players in his England squad, will he be disappointed when only two turn up? Dan Burn and Tino Livramento are the two who will, Lewis Hall is NOT the third who won't; he wasn't picked.
The third selection, who WILL turn up, is Anthony Gordon. However, he is no longer a Newcastle player, having transferred ...

That was the season that was, bloody miserable.
Newcastle rounded off their Premier League campaign in the fashion that has become depressingly routine most of this term: toothless, feckless, listless... maybe even witless.
Bruno Guimaraes's recent return to the team brought some direction and purpose, but even he had an off-day in his last appearance before the World Cup. There's work to do to get this ship back on cour...

We all love a stadium update; twice a year there's some sort of contractual shenanigans with ten square feet of concrete being transferred from one shell company to another. Is it any different this time?
The long answer is, we don't know, but there is a long (albeit not overly complicated) explanation of why the purchase of a large portion of Leazes Terrace and rumours of external investment may be a little more interesti...

It's the last home game of the season and relegation contenders West Ham serve as the opposition in a game with very little riding on it for Newcastle.
Hopes of European qualification are real, but miniscule, and with Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth departing the club this was a chance to say thanks to them before looking to the future.

Eddie Howe's starting team at Nottingham Forest featured the return of Nick Woltemade in a no. 10-ish role and Lewis Hall at right-back. Has the head coach decided to try out a few ideas and, if so, how much can we read into them?
Dan Burn has been talking to George about a new venture in Newcastle's public parks; we get the lowdown on that with an extended interview available to Extra Tyne subscribers later this week (find...

When the season officially comes to a close, it will be a blessed relief. Newcastle's ability to throw away winning positions means they are never safe and it's exhausting.
This time it was Elliot Anderson who arrived late and forced the ball home with the sort of drive and belief that is testament to his qualities and highlights the frailties of his former team.

It's been 84 years, but Newcastle United finally won a game in the Premier League. Previously in-form Brighton were seen off by Eddie Howe's 'trusted' lieutenants with Bruno bringing back his much-missed drive and passion.
It won't mean much, though, if we just go on to lose the remaining three league games so how can Eddie Howe and his squad build on that result?
Will Will Osula start up front again? He's found added se...

It wasn't pretty, it wasn't fun, it wasn't three hours long (but it sure felt like it). Newcastle United took a two-goal lead into the second half against Brighton and emerged with the same margin.
Will Osula and Dan Burn were part of a "troll-ish" starting eleven from Eddie Howe but both scored in the first 45 for a deserved advantage.
At half-time, nobody was expecting a smooth route to victory and when Jack Hinshelwoo...

As Newcastle's executives prepare to report to a delegation of the majority owners we're primarily concerned about coming up with tabloid-style puns.
Foremost among the departments presenting to Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, you may think, will be the coaching, talent identification, and transfer sections. Squad building conducted last summer continues to have a significant effect on the pitch.
No more so than in attack. B...

Eddie Howe's rather dramatic team selection brought about a lively start from Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium (what might we be saying had Will Osula buried his opportunity in the first minute?!).
But, ultimately, this was another defeat. No shame in losing to a team locked in a title fight, you might think, but Arsenal were up against themselves as much as Bruno & co.
Bruno brought quality, purpose, and drive back...

Newcastle United's Premier League form has nosedived; actually, it's worse than that, it has come to an abrupt halt, set itself alight, all the wheels have fallen off, and it's sitting in the middle of the runway covered in soot.
The situation feels impossible, the damage irrepairable; but is it? We break the club up into three areas of investigation; the ownership, the manager, and the team. Then we try to decide whether e...

We've already asked for reactions, resets; we've asked about the manager, the players, the executives. We've asked "where do we go from here?", and "is Europe still do-able". Today, we asked "can Newcastle be relegated?"...
St James's Park may have reached resignation levels with this team in its current incarnation. The problem is, there are five games to go.

Defeat at Crystal Palace, particularly the nature of it and especially the closing half hour, have left us in no doubt that significant changes are needed and it seems they are on the way. But, what will those changes look like? We consider the options.

Newcastle had three weeks off; loads of the internationals had a rest, one or two good players returned from injury, and the squad had plenty of time on the training pitch...
