Wilson in, Woltemade puts Isak to shame and Newcastle’s next 10

NUFC Broadcast: International Break Roundup, Ross Wilson arrives, and the next 10-game push

Ed and Ollie recap a busy international break: Gordon’s graft for England, Bruno’s assists in Brazil’s shock loss to Japan, Woltemade first Germany goal, and Sweden’s woes with Isak under scrutiny. They react to Newcastle appointing Ross Wilson as sporting director, what his “builder, not just recruiter” profile means for Eddie Howe and stability, and fan poll results four years on from the takeover. Listener questions cover Woltemade vs Isak’s profiles, contract priorities (Botman, Tonali, Livramento), potential sales, and the prospect of Premier League games abroad. Olly previews why the next 10 games across league, Champions League, and Carabao could define the season—and revisits favourite post-takeover memories (PSG at St James’).

A nightmare day at St James' Park, Livramento latest and Union SG preview

Newcastle’s trip to Arsenal ended in heartbreak, with two late goals, VAR drama and a worrying injury to Tino Livramento leaving us gutted. On this week’s NUFC Blogcast, Ed and Olly pick through a cruel defeat – the positives (including another Woltemade header and Malick Thiaw’s standout display), the negatives (Pope’s late mistake, Gordon’s struggles, game management), and the sheer frustration of VAR.

We also look ahead to a massive week: Union SG away in the Champions League followed by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Can Howe’s men find their attacking spark and bounce back?

All that plus poll of the week, Twitter questions, and the return of FYI Man.

Woltemade watch, three Mags score, new CEO quotes and what next?

Ed & Olly are back through the international-break haze to talk Newcastle United’s new CEO, David Hopkinson — what his Real Madrid/MSG background means, and why the stadium decision isn’t as simple as it sounds. We reveal results from our listener poll on his first priority (Sporting Director leads), and why contracts & training ground still matter now.

On the pitch (sort of): Woltemade Watch — mixed Germany outings but an assist and plenty to build on; Bruno scores for Brazil; Wissa scores & assists; Elanga nets for Sweden; three Magpies feature for England. We also salute NUFC Women, off to a winning start at Nottingham Forest.

Listener questions: could Elliot Anderson return one day (and at what price)? Which nearly-signing do we still lose sleep over (hi, Modrić)? Who’s under the most pressure —

Woltemade, Wissa or Elanga?

We finish with a 1997 quiz throwback: three Newcastle players for England in the same game… remember them?

A mad 19 hours: Wissa, Isak, loans and £30m shock - Summer review after deadline day

The window is shut and we’ve got a lot to unpack. In this bumper episode we take you through a mad Deadline Day: the final word on Isak, Wissa through the door, the Osula shock that never was, two loan deals, and the big moves elsewhere.

Then it’s time for our summer review: eight signings in, 15 departures, a tough start, a mixed middle, and a strong finish — was it a successful window? We answer your poll of the week, dive into Twitter questions, and reflect on what it all means for Eddie Howe’s squad.

Finally, we turn to Leeds 0–0: two points dropped, positives and negatives, our winner and loser of the week, and a look ahead to Wolves after the break. Oh — and there’s a new competition plus the quiz question to round things off.

Heartbreak for Howe’s heroes, triple blow, £50m bid and Isak snub

A dramatic 3-2 defeat to Liverpool at St. James’ Park leaves us with pride, frustration, and plenty to unpack.

Ed (joining from Florida!) and Olly break down the game: the atmosphere, Gordon’s red card, the fightback, and the heartbreak at the death. We run through the positives and negatives, pick our winners and losers, and dig into the latest injury updates on Joelinton, Tonali, and Schär.

Of course, the Isak saga rumbles on – what next for him and Newcastle’s striker hunt with just days left in the window? We also discuss VAR’s inconsistencies, fan ticket frustrations, and answer your questions from X and Patreon.

Join us for all that, plus the weekly poll results, and the usual mix of ranting, hope, and laughs from life as a Newcastle United fan.
