Live from St George’s Park, Faye Carruthers and award-winning journalist Henry Winter react to Thomas Tuchel’s unorthodox 35-man England squad as the World Cup countdown officially begins. They dive into the decision to grant 11 key starters a "split squad" rest and debate the controversial return of Ben White, with Henry questioning the message it sends to those who "grafted" through the system like Tino Livramento and Trent Alexander-Arnold who is playing in the Champions League for Real Madrid!

We also bring you an exclusive sit-down with Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton on his battle with Jordan Henderson for the "number six" shirt and the Faye and Henry also discuss whether having so many players from the under 21 squad that won the Euros is a good thing.

They also look ahead to this Friday's match against Uruguay as well as Tuesday's game against Japan in what is no doubt the final audition for these England stars to secure their spot on the plane to the WC next summer.

Is the magic finally wearing off for Eddie Howe at St James' Park? Following a devastating week that saw Newcastle United crashed out of the Champions League by Barcelona and beaten twice in one season by local rivals Sunderland, we ask the tough questions about the Magpies' sudden slump. With 22 points dropped from winning positions and a squad that looks "stale," is it time for a change in the dugout, or is PSR to blame for a "shambolic" summer of recruitment?

In this episode, Angelina Kelly is joined by social host Olly Clink and Newcastle content creator Jack Cunningham to dissect the fallout from the Tyne-Wear derby. They debate whether Howe’s loyalty to the "old guard" is hindering progress and discuss sensational claims that Cesc Fabregas could be the man to bring modern, technical football to Tyneside. Plus, the team reacts to the CEO David Hopkinson's 2030 Premier League title target—is it ambitious planning or just nonsense?
