A Mischief of Magpies: Newcastle United from the USA

Bill and Kevin lament how life has gotten in the way of the important stuff and celebrate a comprehensive yet nervy win against Chelsea that vaults Newcastle into sole possession of third place within a sniff of Champions League qualification. How Newcastle has become a mentality monster, but why their emotions lie just below the surface.

Why Newcastle's form seemed to dip after Chelsea dropped to 10 men.

And with our noisy neighbors knocking on the door of a Championship Final: Do we want Sunderland back in the Premier League?

Never thought we'd see the day when a win over Manchester United seemed routine, and yet here we are. Bill & Kevin discuss Newcastle's professional 4-1 win over their former nemesis, a club that has been the one, over and over, to break Geordie hearts. But now? An expected win.

What's the rest of the season look like? What were our favorite moments from the match? And were you as surprised as Bill at what Jason Tindall's voice sounds like?

Our new format! 18 minutes on Newcastle United. Bill and Kevin review (i.e. revel in) the Carabao Cup celebration, and of course focus on the complaints from other fan groups. -- Alex Isak is a troublemaker

-- Also no one is buying him

-- Also did you hear that Newcastle United won the League Cup?

Roving Reporter Andrew joins Kevin with Helen and Mel, some beloved Geordies who celebrated Newcastle's League Cup win in a great place -- Wembley Stadium!

The wait is over, the trophy case opens up for a new resident as Bill and Kevin break down Newcastle's seismic win in the League Cup final over Liverpool. -- The joy and rapture on Tyneside and in the US;

-- Our ode to George Caulkin, the best sports scribe on the planet;

-- The tactical masterclass of Eddie Howe;

-- Dan Burn's moment of magic rises to legend;

-- A Sean Longstaff moment many people may have missed.

-- The class of Liverpool, our appreciation of it, and our hope they never show it to us again.

MISCHIEF MANAGED!!!

Well, well, well, look who's back! Bill and Kevin break down the upcoming Carabao Cup Final on the weekend. How much better did we feel following the win at West Ham? The major difference in this squad vs. the one that played in 2023. Why there are all sorts of reasons for Toon Fans to be optimistic. "You like Liverpool? F**k Liverpool."

Will Osula, Baby Giraffe Joe Willock No Matter What The Goal of the Season Win the League or Silverware?

Dan Burn danburns Odegard! Fabian Schar forces Decwan to share!

Bruno throws his own partey.

TELL ME MA, TELL ME MA...

Know your audience: League Two Bromley made the absolute best of a day at St. James' Park while Newcastle slowly asserted its dominance in a professional display.

Kevin waxes rhapsodic about what it means for our club to play at St. James' Park and the magic that architects and designers will have difficulty recapturing if we move.

Bill and Kevin wonder what's wrong with the ball as Mikel Arteta receives a lifetime achievement award following Newcastle's 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates. Eddie Howe once again outsmarts a rival manager, leaving him fuming.

A shift for the ages from Sven Botman.

Troy Deeney accidentally asks a good question. And a recognition after this match that Newcastle United is on par with any club in the Premier League.
