With the summer transfer window heating up, Helen and Dave are locking themselves in the studio for Episode 17 to dig into the players who completely divide the fanbase. We are looking at Newcastle United figures past and present, throwing away the generic stat sheets, and sharing our highly personal, unfiltered picks for the players who have given us total emotional whiplash

In this episode:

The Heartbreak Heroes (Loved Them, Then Didn't): We talk about the players who had us completely under their spell until a sudden transfer, a bad attitude, or a spectacular fall from grace ruined the romance.

The Apology Form (Didn't Love Them, Then Did): We swallow our pride and hand out some long-overdue apologies. Who are the players we wrote off entirely, only for them to put in a shift, prove us completely wrong, and win our hearts?

The Ultimate Underachievers (Biggest Disappointment): The ones who arrived with massive price tags, world class reputations, or heaps of potential, but ended up leaving us completely cold.

The Shock Packages (Biggest Surprise): The squad players, utility men, or bargain buys who had no right to become as crucial or as loved as they did.

The Present Day Great Divide: We debate the current members of Eddie Howe’s squad who still can't seem to get a unanimous verdict from the Gallowgate end. Why does one good game buy them three months of grace for some fans, while others are ready to sell them every Saturday?

Prepare for some seriously heated household debates and a few confessions. Get Tooned In!

With the summer break giving us time to breathe, Helen and Dave are dedicating Episode 16 to the lifeblood of the club: The NUFC Fandom. We are stripping away the tactics and the transfer rumors to dive deep into what it truly means to wear the black and white stripes, looking at the brilliant, and sometimes baffling, sides of our community, and sharing the personal memories that hooked us for life.

In this episode:

The Geordie Identity: What makes Newcastle fans so unique? We discuss the intense local pride, the community spirit that takes over the city on matchdays, and how the club acts as a global badge of honor for anyone from Tyneside.

Navigating the Rivals: Whether it's living with a house divided, dealing with banter at work, or surviving the sheer pettiness of our 'friends down the road,' we talk about the art of surviving rival fanbases without losing your mind.

Our First Matches: Helen and Dave take a trip down memory lane to share their own origin stories. From that very first walk up the Gallowgate steps to the sights, sounds, and smells that made us realize there was no turning back.

And Finally... The Height Premium: To wrap things up, Helen puts Dave firmly on the spot with a chaotic game of Higher or Lower based entirely on the physical statures of the current NUFC squad. Can he accurately guess who stands taller between Dan Burn and the rest of the lads, or will his spatial awareness let him down?

Since Helen mentions it nearly every episode we are finally putting to bed one of the biggest transfer wounds in recent Newcastle United history 🖤🤍

With the summer break well underway, Helen and Dave are finally locking themselves in the studio to dissect the saga that defined our entire 2025/26 campaign before it even kicked off. We are talking about *that* summer. The summer the financial rules bit hard, the PSR panic set in, and our world-class talisman Alexander Isak was sold to Liverpool.

In this episode:

Anatomy of a Mega-Sale: We revisit the chaotic final weeks of last summer’s transfer window. What actually happened behind closed doors? We trace the timeline from the first terrifying rumors to the absolute gut punch of seeing Alex holding up a red shirt at Anfield.

The Ripple Effect: How did losing a 20 plus goal striker reshape Eddie Howe’s entire tactical blueprint this season? We look at how it thrust William Osula into the spotlight earlier than planned and altered the chemistry of our front three.

Moving On vs. Moving Forward: Isak might have swapped Tyneside for Merseyside, but where did this leave us? We debate whether the astronomical fee was reinvested wisely and what the club must do this summer to ensure we never have to sell a superstar to a rival again.

It’s part group therapy, part tactical autopsy, and 100% unfiltered.
