The Social by The London & Irish Mags

We're back! Despite a seemingly never ending scheduling conflict, we are finally back with a bang this week! Freddie talks us through the game against Wolves at St James' Park at the weekend, and his impromptu meet up with Paul from the Irish Mags! We discuss the progress of both supporters groups and the continued meet ups that are happening this season, and we take a look at the upcoming Chelsea game on Monday! Plus we discuss the end goal for this season, do we want to see us focus on points for Europe on the pitch, or progress off the pitch? Thanks for listening to The Social and we'll be back next week! Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Tevin Farid and Freddie Gunn

Welcome back to The Social! This week, ahead of the Villa away game, we're delighted to be joined by Frankie from the All Villa No Filler Podcast! We take a look at the mini rivalry that started way back in 2008 on that dreaded relegation day, Frankie tells us what it's like watching Unai Emery's football, and we discuss the similarities of both Newcastle United's and Aston Villa's trajectories over the last few seasons. Plus, Freddie tells us about not one, but TWO, legendary Newcastle strikers who were in the away end and watched us beat Fulham in the FA Cup. Thanks again to Frankie for making the time to chat to us this week and here's hoping for a Newcastle victory tomorrow night. Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Frankie Maguire

It's been an interesting week at NUFC hasn't it... This week, Simon, Freddie and Tev discuss all the latest January transfer news. Following Darren Eales' interview last week, we've since been inundated with offers for some of our best players. Now, instead of pretending to be in the know (unlike some of those Twitter accounts), we decided to do an episode of Keep or Sell, in regards to the interest in Trippier, Wilson and Almiron. Plus, Freddie tells us about his day watching Gateshead, with former NUFC goalkeeper Rob Elliot at the helm, and gives us all an update on plans for Fulham away in the FA Cup. Thanks as always for listening and here's to a relatively stress-free final week of the January window. Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid

Welcome back to The Social! That Kevin De Bruyne's good isn't he? We take a look back at the weekend's game against Man City and address the obvious need for a sitting midfielder. Could Ederson be on his way to join his Brazilian teammates on Tyneside? And could Jose be on his way to Tyneside as well? No chance according to Tev and Simon! Plus, we take a look at who has been our players of the year! Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributor: Tevin Farid

Happy New Year to all the London and Irish Mags out there! Is there a better way to start the new year than to see Eddie Howe's mags smash Sunderland 3-0 at The Stadium Of Light? I don't think so! In our first episode of the new year, we discuss the fantastic away win against the Mackems; Tev discusses his ideal January transfer target and Freddie gives us an update on the new Fan Advisory Board and what it means to supporters clubs around the world! If our performance against the Mackems is anything to go by then 2024 could be another fantastic ride, but let's not get too carried away! Happy New Year to you all! Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid

We're back for another episode of The Social! After a 3 week break, we're back just in time ahead of a huge week for Newcastle United, following an awful week for Newcastle United! Freddie gives us an update and in-depth breakdown of the current ticketing issues that we saw against Spurs away. Tev questions whether we have any players in the U21s who could step up through this awful injury crisis, and we look ahead to our best case scenarios against AC Milan on Tuesday night. Also, we want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who came to the TNT's 'The Football's On' live show and hopefully it won't be long until we can do another live show again! Thanks for listening and fingers crossed we're in some kind of European tour come Wednesday night! Host: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid.

Freddie and Tev are back from Dortmund! Tales of cheap German beers with Toon legends and frantic flights home are the main topics of this week's show as Freddie and Tev return from Dortmund as two broken men! It's been an incredible week, despite watching 2 defeats in a row, and we're here to spread some positivity rather than focusing on the losses to Bournemouth and Dortmund! To everyone who made the trip to Dortmund, we salute you and well done on making it an exceptional trip! Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid

The Social is back following that historic 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Well last night was fun, wasn't it? Simon, Tev and a very tired Freddie (who made it all the way back from Old Trafford in one piece) dissect that outstanding away performance from Eddie Howe's mags against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup. We take a look at the Arsenal on Saturday and wonder if any of the B team deserve to keep their spot after last night, and Freddie and Tev reveal their huge plans for Dortmund for all the London and Irish Mags making their way over there next week. Thanks for listening and make sure you subscribe to The Social so every episode lands in your pocket the second it's released. HOWAY THE LADS!!

Welcome back to The Social! It's just Freddie and Simon this week as Tev is off somewhere, and neither of us know where, but rest assured he'll be back next week! It's been an incredible week for Newcastle United, following the point at The San Siro. We definitely 'smashed the granny' out of Sheffield United with an 8-0 away win and followed it up by beating Man City at home in the Carabao Cup. This week we take an in-depth look at the players who impressed us most against City and Freddie announces the London Mags plans for Dortmund and Paris away, it's all very exciting! Thanks for listening and HWTL!

Have you ever seen a Mackem in Milan? Because we certainly didn't! The boys are back after the international break for a Champions League special! Following our 0-0 draw away to Milan in the San Siro, we hear from The London Mags' very own roaming reporter, Joe Martin, who gave us a step by step tour of his away day in Italy. We discuss the game and the benefits that Eddie and the players will get from taking part in our first Champions League game in 20 years. And Freddie and Tev take part in an NUFC European Trivia Quiz to celebrate the mighty mags starting the campaign off with a point away from home, and returning to the Champions League after 20 long, long years Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid

Welcome back to The Social! After a week off (whilst Simon was sunning himself in the South of France), we discuss the humbling 3-1 defeat against Brighton at the Amex. Does the midfield need tinkering with? Should Pope never be allowed out of his box again? And based off our lack of cover in key positions in the game... was our transfer window actually a success? Another away game sees more ticketing trouble, and Freddie tells us how the NUSCL is going to try to work with the club to make sure the away end is properly stacked and allocated in the future. And even though we've lost 3 on the bounce, there's still plenty to be excited about as we discuss the Champions League draw and the first time we've been pulled out the hat for 20 years! Plus did Newcastle United once almost sign Pierre Emerick Aubameyang? Find out in this week's episode of The Social! Hosted by: Simon Harkness Contributors: Freddie Bunn and Tevin Farid

This week on The Social by The London Mags, we discuss the ticketing fiasco at Man City and ask are the club handling the ticketing situation in the right way... We discuss the 1-0 loss at Man City and ask whether some sections of the fan base are overreacting, because Bruno certainly think so! We take a look at the new signing of Lewis Hall and what that means for Dan Burn and Matty Targett. And we discuss the legacy of NUFC and Adidas now that we've secured another game changing sponsorship. Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe to the pod!
