Is it the 'Tooned In' curse, or are we just allergic to a clean sheet at the moment?

​Dave and Helen are back to pick through the wreckage of a demoralizing Saturday afternoon at St. James' Park. Despite Will Osula keeping his scoring streak alive, a late collapse saw Bournemouth leave with all three points, leaving the Gallowgate searching for answers.

​In this episode:

​Dissecting the Defeat: Why are we struggling to hold onto leads? We talk about the 85th-minute heartbreak and why the 'Fortress SJP' vibe has gone cold in 2026.

​The 'Curse' is Real: We address the elephant in the room; the fact that Newcastle haven't won a single game since we started this podcast. Are we the hex?

​Injury Setbacks: We react to the mystery surrounding Anthony Gordon’s hip.

​Emirates Anxiety: Looking ahead to the daunting trip to North London this Saturday. Can we really stop a flying Arsenal side without our first choice backline?

​The Summer Rumour Mill: From Anthony Gordon being linked with Liverpool to the whispers of a massive sell-to-buy summer, we reaccess who stays and who goes.

​Whether you're a Howe inner or Howe outer, join us for some much-needed black-and-white therapy.

​HWTL! 🖤🤍

Dave and Helen are back to dissect a frustrating Sunday afternoon in South London after the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. We’re talking about where it went wrong, whether the 'International Break Rust' is a real thing or just a convenient excuse and all the rest of the shirt pulling drama!

But there’s no time to dwell because the Cherries are coming to St. James’ Park this Saturday so we also look ahead to the Bournemouth clash, who we notoriously never beat.

Spoiler alert, it's a moany one!

With the international break over and 7 games left to play, Dave and Helen get their crystal balls out and discuss how they think the rest of the season will pan out.

- Is Eddie Howe's job really in jeopardy?

- Can we dare to dream of European football next season?

- Who do we think the summer movers and shakers will be?

- What does Dave think about Chelsea?

- How many times can Helen mention Jacob Murphy?

As usual, opinions are divided in the Tooned In studio (except perhaps over our love for a certain Brazilian captain). Do you agree with our predictions? Let us know in the comments!
