Newcastle are through to the last 16 as Jaissle extends his unbeaten start in the dugout. Si jumped in the studio with Jon and Ordy immediately after the game to reflect on a more gritty performance and result that may not be one for the ages. The lads consider: - Was this just about the result or were there any concerns over how difficult it was? - Jaissle picked a strong team, was this intent and a sign that the cups are being taken very seriously? - Not as much game time for some of the newer lads, Willock stays on the pitch and gets the winner so was this justified? What of Pardo, Toure and Bamba? - And plenty more reaction and reflection on the positive start to the season.

Luke Edwards kindly joins Si and Ordy from TF this week to get into what has happened so far this summer and whether it is time to panic or not and to answer some of the big questions hanging around the club so far this summer: Panic or Patience? Is the summer going to plan and/or should we be worried or not? What is the club aiming for next season, what is expected of the manager and does it align with expectations of the club as a whole? And what of the ownership - PIF and Hopkinson continue to talk of big ambitions but the lack of progress on infrastructure and what we are seeing suggest its all talk.

Another week of transfer woes so we took the opportunity to revisit the frustrating lack of progress on the stadium situation. Si was again joined by Michael Martin and Stephen Hodgson who is True Faith's resident Chartered Building and Project Manager to get into it. We had a similar podcast with Stephen and Mick in June 2024 and we caught up to ask: What is taking so long and what if anything has changed in the last 2 years? Why is this so difficult and what are the limiting factors preventing real life progress? And How and when will the decision actually be made to take this forward - what are PIF actually waiting for and why does it look like they are looking for external funding? A great, if somewhat frustrating, discussion about a situation that is dragging on so long that its adding to the worries about the long term project at NUFC. Great input again from Stephen and Mick to remind us its not that simple but we'd be lying to say this podcast doesn't end up raising more questions!

Transfers and transfer strategy - how can we get better selling our best players and are there some players you just can't sell?

The curtains drawn on 2025-26, we can finally look back on the season as a whole and how bad (or good?) it was. Si hosted this one joined by Jonny Greenwood and Mick Martin to look back, and forward, from a position of relief that we made it to the end of the season. Was this the lowest point of the project and is that as bad as we think it'll get? If so, are we comfortable with 12th being the bottom of our limit now? Who is responsible? Was it worth it to perform well in all the cup competitions, which in hindsight came at the expense of the Premier League form? How bad a taste have the 2x derby defeats (and them sneaking into Europe) left on the season and fan mood? And were there any positive memories to look back on from a rollercoaster season which tested us all!
