NUFC Podcast: Excitement or Concern? Will Newcastle United beat the doom and gloom "experts" this season?
Si is joined by Jonathan and Ordy this week to start really looking at the season ahead and how expectations are shaping up for the new manager and squad. Is it just pure excitement with a new manager, players and a bit of unknown or are there legitimate causes for concern as displayed by some national media? Winning Jaissle's first game in Valencia - a good start or just a training exercise? What are the absolute essentials still needed by the end of the month to give him the best chance this season? And we have an early look at what we think is a realistic expectation of the manager for the season ahead (assuming we get business done!)

NUFC Podcast: Panic at Newcastle or quiet confidence as summer transfer activity hots up - with Luke Edwards
Luke Edwards kindly joins Si and Ordy from TF this week to get into what has happened so far this summer and whether it is time to panic or not and to answer some of the big questions hanging around the club so far this summer: Panic or Patience? Is the summer going to plan and/or should we be worried or not? What is the club aiming for next season, what is expected of the manager and does it align with expectations of the club as a whole? And what of the ownership - PIF and Hopkinson continue to talk of big ambitions but the lack of progress on infrastructure and what we are seeing suggest its all talk.

NUFC Podcast: St James Park - Why is it taking so long for a decision on the future home of Newcastle United?
Another week of transfer woes so we took the opportunity to revisit the frustrating lack of progress on the stadium situation. Si was again joined by Michael Martin and Stephen Hodgson who is True Faith's resident Chartered Building and Project Manager to get into it. We had a similar podcast with Stephen and Mick in June 2024 and we caught up to ask: What is taking so long and what if anything has changed in the last 2 years? Why is this so difficult and what are the limiting factors preventing real life progress? And How and when will the decision actually be made to take this forward - what are PIF actually waiting for and why does it look like they are looking for external funding? A great, if somewhat frustrating, discussion about a situation that is dragging on so long that its adding to the worries about the long term project at NUFC. Great input again from Stephen and Mick to remind us its not that simple but we'd be lying to say this podcast doesn't end up raising more questions!

NUFC Podcast: Another summer of transfers being hijacked, when will it end for Newcastle United?
Si was the host this week joined by True Faith OG Michael Martin and Adam P to get into what is going on with Newcastle's recruitment as yet another key target is swooped away at the last second by a big 6 club. Is it too early to panic as it's only June and there's a World Cup going on or should we be worried about another summer with all the same things happening? Steve Nickson is departing, yet another similarity with the previous summer with key recruitment personnel departing? Are we shopping in the wrong market or are these the right targets and the failings are with the recruitment team? Why are big clubs constantly stealing our targets? And loads more about the current situation where it is imperative that the club gets this summer right.

NUFC Podcast: Newcastle United Season Review 2025-26
The curtains drawn on 2025-26, we can finally look back on the season as a whole and how bad (or good?) it was. Si hosted this one joined by Jonny Greenwood and Mick Martin to look back, and forward, from a position of relief that we made it to the end of the season. Was this the lowest point of the project and is that as bad as we think it'll get? If so, are we comfortable with 12th being the bottom of our limit now? Who is responsible? Was it worth it to perform well in all the cup competitions, which in hindsight came at the expense of the Premier League form? How bad a taste have the 2x derby defeats (and them sneaking into Europe) left on the season and fan mood? And were there any positive memories to look back on from a rollercoaster season which tested us all!
