Keegan and Jack assess what went wrong at Craven Cottage as Newcastle succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham.

It was an uphill battle from the first half as the Cottagers raced into a deserved 2-0 lead as the Magpies midfield was dominated. We ask what is going wrong with the midfield, and what does Sandro Tonali have to do to get a start?

We also discuss whether the ongoing destabilisation of the club is having a knock on effect into the performances of the team, as results finally catch up with the generally poor showings this season, and the mood around the club darkens.

Fulham fan Skibby from That's So Craven podcast joins Jack to preview the upcoming game at Craven Cottage.

Skibby provides the lowdown on Fulham, who have had to

We look at some of the recent games between the clubs with Newcastle coming out on top in each of the last five games. What are some of the tactical areas of focus for this game, and where might it be won and lost?

We also reminisce about a certain Serbian striker who graced both clubs.

All of this and much more on the Toon Under Pod!

Keegan, Lee and Dimi talk about the crucial come from behind win away at Wolves, continuing the unbeaten start and making it 10 points from 12 to start the new season.

They discuss the curious team selection from Eddie, with big guns left on the bench, with the first half repeating a familiar pattern with a drop off leading to conceeding half way through the half.

They discuss Eddie being unusually bold with 3 half time subs, and how much of an impact they had on the result, with Barnes' goal record off the bench particularly interesting.

Finally, they discuss how crucial Pope is to the team, and whether he is the MVP of the side, in terms of how he influences results.

Jack catches up with Stu from the Wolves Fancast to preview the match at Molineux this weekend.

There appears to be some discontent around Wolves lately.

We look back on some of the recent games between the clubs and discuss whether Leo Hwang Messi will be on the team sheet on Sunday.

All this and plenty more in the Toon Under preview!

Jack and Dimi pick through the rubble of the transfer window and try to make sense of The Magpies’ summer of discontent.

We ask why the Newcastle ended up in such a precarious

New Sporting Director Paul Mitchell did a round of

We also touch on the consequences of this summer both for

Keegan and Dimi talk about the massive win at home against Spurs, making it 7 points from 9 to start the new season.

They debate how much of a threat Spurs really were, despite having the lion’s share of the game and keeping the toon under long periods of sustained pressure.

Finally, they go through Eddie's new plan to combat our makeshift defence, and whether it's the right way to play or not.

Mark & Lee talk about the close call cup game against Nottingham Forest at The City Ground. Eddie's Mags started like a house on fire scoring after just 18 seconds but that old cliche of scoring too soon was true as Forest equalized but it was the Toon that prevailed by winning the penalty shoot-out 3-4 with Longstaff getting the winner.

The lads wax lyrical on the return of Sandro Tonali after his 10 month ban and put in a performance worthy of Man of the match.

They also do a quick preview of the Spurs game this weekend before we head into the international break

Keegan, Jack and Dimi review Newcastle's clunky 1-1 draw at Bournemouth as a Gordon equaliser rescued a point and kept the Magpies undefeated.

There were some decent flashes from Howe's men but overall they were fortunate to escape with a draw as another game seemed to pass the team by. We ask why things seem so disjointed at this early stage of the season and what can be done to address it.

It's also the start of a huge week for everyone at the club with the transfer window closing in one week and a cup tie at Forest to take care of. What do Newcastle need to do this week as a club and a team for it to be a success?

Lee and Bobby preview our next Premier League game, away to Bournemouth this coming Sunday.

Edit: we had absolutely no idea Bournemouth had signed Brazil international striker Evanilson just 5 days ago 🤦🏼‍♂️ If he plays, they may carry a more sognifxsnt goal threat than we discuss in this episode!

Last season in the same fixture Bournemouth ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, but with the scorer of both goals Dominic Solanke having been sold to Spurs, will Bournemouth have the fire power to threaten the toon goal?

We also discuss the signing of Kelly from Bournemouth, Tonali’s pending availability, and the possible signing of Marc Guehi; will he be played immediately or eased in over time, and who does he replace at the back?
