Biggest win of the season, the full-back effect and Marseille preview!

Newcastle United are back? We break down the 2-1 win over Man City at St James’ Park: Hall and Livramento transform the flanks, Barnes bags a brace, Pope and Malik Thiaw shut the door on Haaland, and the Eddie Howe debate cools.

We balance the big positives with a few caveats (missed chances, energy drain, striker depth), check the league table reality, and set up a spicy Champions League trip to Marseille - form guide, key threats (Greenwood, Auba), and selection dilemmas (Hall minutes, Trippier fitness, Gordon’s return). Plus: fan poll results on season priorities, winger pecking order, and some quick-fire listener questions. Predictions included.
