Manchester Road Trip: 2 Meaty, 2 Furious
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.

Up for the cup: a rousing preview of FA Cup quarter final at Manchester City
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.

Failing to capitalise again: familiar frailties at Chelsea
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)

How Now (to Replace Dan Ashworth)
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.

Howe's tactical 'tweak' serves up his 100th PL win v Wolves
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.

Confidence and cup craziness with Amber-Keegan Stobbs!
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.

Exiled Geordie In Pennsylvania
Bobby ‘90 had me in bits. From stories of England ( Gazza just wanting to play on the wing with his mate ) to the setting up of the foundation and early days in the pit. A truly wonderful journey through the memory of a great man loved by all who followed football ( and many who don’t )
Just a lovely piece of Journalism and many memories of my own stirred through the episodes
Thank you, every time I listen to pod on the Tyne I look at my diary yo find a time to get home ( even if it’s just for a pint in the Beehive ! )
Felipe Cardenas brought great content on Eales, Miggy, and MLS/MX/S. America
