Daily Newcastle Podcast Introduction
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Newcastle Podcast and it is me, your host and I am Nicola and it is just the two of us this evening, isn't it Jo? I am joined by my girl, that is Jo, because Kev is stuck in traffic yet again. I'm starting to think he's avoiding us, mate.
00:00:30
Jo
It's a possibility, it's a possibility.
00:00:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:00:32
Jo
And what he's gonna miss out on is my beautiful introduction. Are you ready?
00:00:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
I hit me.
00:00:37
Jo
Tell me ma, me ma. Put the champagne on ice. We're going to Wembley twice.
00:00:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was not expecting that.
00:00:43
Jo
Tell me ma, me ma.
00:00:46
Jo
There we go, though.
00:00:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love it. Love it. Yeah, so it's just the two galleys.
00:00:56
Jo
We're good, man.
00:00:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're good. We're good. We can chat.
00:00:58
Jo
He's missing out.
00:00:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
We don't need.
00:00:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He is metanal.
00:00:59
Jo
He knows it really.
FA Cup Game Against Bromley
00:01:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
he is. So it's just the two of us today we are recording straight after our f FA Cup game against Bromley, which actually Joe and Kev were both at, hence why Kev's still stuck in traffic because he can't get back from the ground. Joe is lucky to live literally around the corner pretty much, so she's home and ready to roll. So Joe, I thought we could just go over um the first part of what we thought of
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, the game in general. I thought we'd just review the whole game in the first in the first part of the pod. Now, I was obviously sadly watching from home. And when I say home, I mean my bed because I love a Sunday nap.
00:01:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's where I was watching the game this afternoon.
00:01:42
Jo
Honestly.
00:01:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honestly, honestly. hit me. How was, first of all, how was the atmosphere obviously up there today? and Obviously, we're now on a what, eight game run of Undefeated.
00:01:54
Jo
Eight games, that's it.
00:01:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So the vibe around Newcastle is obviously it's going well. what was it like? Tell me.
00:02:03
Jo
I think cup games are always a strange one, especially I think games like this because it was brilliant to see a packed out crowd considering we're playing second tier. No comment on our noisy Davis just under the, you know, on the wrong side of the river, on the wrong side of their river who couldn't get more than 15,000 in their stadium, but you know.
00:02:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
God, embarrassing.
00:02:20
Jo
They've probably had the Nissan backshift or something, but you know, who knows? We've got 50 odd thousand. But no, it's I think the atmosphere is always a weird one because you've got people dotted all over the stadium, not really in their right seats. A lot of season ticket holders there, a lot of season ticket holders not.
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. Oh, I hate that.
00:02:35
Jo
on that one by the way i'm not going to slate all season ticket holders however i am going to slate the ones i'll sit next to they were the most miserable bunch of people i've ever been next to in my life and it was a more and literally nobody can see me unless you're watching the clips right now but i've got my hands crossed right into my armpits and i'm sitting as if i'm the most hoppy person in the world because that's what the guy next to me looked like in the first half so we were in the galaga and you know galaga to use your a good kind of atmosphere don't get me wrong the corner was mint
00:02:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, great. Yeah.
00:03:02
Jo
to the point where I thought right I was scooching and I could see quite a few empty spots unfortunately in the Gallagher corner maybe people I don't know didn't turn up whatever but it was a sellout so they must just not have went that night tonight sorry so I sent my mate Donna I was like Donna at half time I've already spotted a couple of spots we're heading over there and we're going in the corner of the second half so we did so it was a much more pleasant time in the second half because we've got to sing the whole time we weren't next to a bunch of miseries
00:03:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:03:27
Jo
So maybe it was just certain people in certain spots of the stadium, so I can't really comment. You could kind of hear patches of like kind of singing around and Beppenator, Bromley, like they made a bit of noise from what you can hear from the Gallagat as well.
00:03:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:03:38
Jo
Because again, lopsided kind of stadium, it doesn't really acoustic sound great either.
00:03:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:42
Jo
But everyone's in high spirits. It was great in the strawberry beforehand as it usually is, but there's a lot of Bromley fans in there as well. It was really good to chat to them, I'll be honest.
00:03:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. I love that though. Yeah.
00:03:50
Jo
And I've now got this whole new soft spot for Bromley, by the way.
00:03:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:54
Jo
So yeah, no, it was kind of, it was kind of. that
00:03:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good. Yeah. Watch them from home. So only did, obviously they, obviously before the game started, they sort of said how many Bromley fans are up there and they sort of pan to the away end.
00:04:04
Jo
Hmm.
00:04:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's obviously in the sky heavens. they brought out a good crowd to be fair.
00:04:08
Jo
You did?
00:04:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
And after the game, their manager actually seemed, I mean, I'm i'm sure he was disappointed at the result, but he actually she seemed really happy. ah ah He was, he was happy at the performance that his team obviously displayed.
Bromley's Strong Performance
00:04:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now I'm going to just focus on the game.
00:04:20
Jo
Yeah.
00:04:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
So when they went 1-0 up, I was like, yeah, they're not here to mess around. Obviously I've watched a lot of FA Cup games this weekend. You know, not that I want to give them any sort of airtime on here, but Manchester City ain't no win against Salford.
00:04:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Can you believe it? They won a game. know, so some of these lowly teams were getting actually battered, but Bromley actually seemed to come and just bring the heat and actually were putting up a little bit of a fight, which I think may have put us on the back foot and also surprised us a little bit. What was it like when they went 1-0 up in the stadium? Because it seemed to just go really flat.
00:04:55
Jo
yeah you know the usual um got some grumblings but like i say i was sitting next to some miseries anyway so it was like fully expected but hey i'm taking nothing away by the way because i think the view as well especially if i had their goal it was a beautiful goal fair play and i said that at the time i was like respect of the guy he put that away dabravka couldn't have done anything with it you know it wasn't his fault at all i think looking back at the highlights which i've had a quick watch i think miley was a bit soft on it but i'm not going to really slag him because the kid had a great game he was just maybe a bit too soft for that goal but
00:05:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Oh, it's a stunning goal.
00:05:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Nope.
00:05:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Had a great game.
00:05:23
Jo
in the grand scheme you can't take anything away from them it was a great goal fair play to them and they absolutely brought it to us and i said that to them in this in the strawberry before and i said the fans i was like i fully expect you to because you've got absolutely nothing to lose here i was like it's on us the whole giant killing thing it's on us to kind of put this performance in i said but again it's always going to be a weird one because we were never going to play our start in 11
00:05:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. yeah
00:05:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:05:44
Jo
it's going to be a very very diluted squad but still a very highly skilled diluted squad in comparison to the Bromley so it's I think it's also one of those weird ones especially when you know the Spurs game beforehand we watched that in the strawberry and as I left it because we left it full time it was nil-nil going an extra time
00:06:00
Jo
So Spurs weren't exactly doing well against the mighty Tamworth.
00:06:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:04
Jo
So it just shows, like, I know they ended up beating them 3-0, but still, like, it they took them in the extra time before they had to beat them 3-0.
00:06:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, they weren't. Extra time.
00:06:11
Jo
So yeah, but it's always a weird one, I think, when you play the lower teams, I'll be honest.
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
one hundred
00:06:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%.
Newcastle's Comeback and Strategy
00:06:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, then I thought, um then we came back to 1-1, obviously after an absolute stunning strike from Mr. Miley himself.
00:06:22
Jo
It was beautiful.
00:06:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
this is I want to focus on him and the other other goal in the second part.
00:06:26
Jo
Yeah.
00:06:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we came back to 1-1. Then do we think that, I wouldn't say panic, but do we think that maybe Eddie sort of panicked a little bit at half time? Because then you've seen the likes of like Bruno, Anthony Gordon come on.
00:06:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought I wasn't really expecting them to see them play. And then obviously, all of a sudden, half time, they've come on. Now, I know when we've been speaking before, like we were all sort of given big results. I think we'll do this. I think we'll do that. you know Kind of expecting an easier game than what it probably was within the first 20 minutes. So I don't know if you may be panicked, but what do you think?
00:07:00
Jo
I don't know if it was panic, but maybe he thought, well, hang on, we need to wrap this up. Because to be fair to them, and again, respect to Bromley, they brought the game to us, and we just weren't that great in the first half.
00:07:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%.
00:07:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
kind
00:07:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
smile.
00:07:10
Jo
I had a lot of points which I kind of noted down during the game.
00:07:13
Jo
That's how kind of off we were. So I sent my mate down. I was like, I know what I'm like. I'm going to forget this by the time I do my pod tonight. So it seems a bit harsh now, but I literally, I was obviously a bit on one at the time. I was like, Barnes, no good.
00:07:24
Jo
Miggy, need to snell. Long staff, just not on it. Oslas had no service. So it was nothing against Osla at that point. He'd had no service. the kid So there's no blame on him, by the way. I was just seeing there was no service into him.
00:07:36
Jo
But that was my kind of very quick-noted summary of the first half while I was just standing there, sitting there, sorry.
00:07:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:42
Jo
i' But yeah, I mean, Eddie will have watched that and thought, well, hang on. We can't let this play out. We can't probably risk it going into extra time penalties.
00:07:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I agree.
00:07:50
Jo
We've got like we've discussed a million times on probably every pod we've done. We've got so many games coming up and you can't with the lads need the rest wherever possible.
00:07:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I can't do that.
00:07:57
Jo
So I totally understand these subs again with you though.
00:07:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%.
00:08:01
Jo
I did expect like it it was ah ah it was sooner than I thought, but it was the right decision.
00:08:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
A lot sooner. Yeah, no, I completely agree.
00:08:06
Jo
it's
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it obviously paid off because then
00:08:08
Jo
Yeah.
00:08:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
We won 3-1 which was the main point of this and we're now through to the fourth round of it, the fourth round of the FA Cup and it's a tie against Birmingham away, which I think is this the weekend after our next fixture against Arsenal in the Lee Cup, Carrow Cup, whatever you call it.
00:08:15
Jo
Set. It is.
00:08:28
Jo
Arsenal. Yeah. So we'll already be in the final, so we're fine, right?
00:08:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so we're already halfway to Wembley, hopefully, God. Right, we will go. Because I want to focus on that and the third part as well.
00:08:41
Jo
sorry
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will break the first part there. and Obviously, we've we've just just covered off the game very briefly to get us started. So and we'll end part one there and we will go to our um sponsor from miss Zencaster, please.

00:09:22
Jo
We messed up so badly. We've been doing our homework.
00:09:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
We did. New year, new us. ah Hilarious. Yeah, so welcome back to part two. So part one, we covered off the game briefly how we sort of felt about ah ah what us going one nail down quite quickly.
00:09:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I thought it was only right to give the goals some focus from our side because They were, well, the two of them were definitely beauties, one
Player Highlights and Criticisms
00:09:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
obviously being a penalty.
00:09:49
Jo
you
00:09:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we will focus on the equalizer from Mr. Lewis Miley, who I assume will be very, very pleased with that absolute stunning strike, although he didn't look pleased and for what I watched on the TV.
00:09:56
Jo
No.
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
He just kind of got the ball in the back of net, walked away and then carried on. um And I know Ian in particular has been desperate to see Lewis, Lewis Miley back on the pitch for some time now, obviously had a bit of an injury last year, didn't he?
00:10:15
Jo
Yeah. Mm?
00:10:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Towards the end of last season. So, mate, that first goal, he couldn't have hit that any better if he tried.
00:10:19
Jo
Yep.
00:10:26
Jo
Oh, it was it was a beauty of a strike, wasn't it? Like just so crisp, clean and absolute bullet.
00:10:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was absolutely stunning.
00:10:32
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:33
Jo
I mean.
00:10:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm actually not sure if he expected it if he obviously knew it went in, but from his look, you have to watch it back on the highlights, but when you when the camera pans to his face, he's just like, and then walks away and then walks back to like the, he starts talking, it I can't remember who he starts talking to, it might be even Big Joe, I don't remember, but he was talking to someone, and I just think, he does realise this, the ball's gone into the back of the net.
00:10:40
Jo
Yeah. I watched the highlights but I didn't see the face thing. So yeah, I'll have to i'll have to watch it again.
00:10:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
like But yeah, it was absolutely stunning. I'm presuming the crowd erupted after that.
00:11:05
Jo
They did to be fair have picked up a bit because the crowd that had been all right as I say I joke about the people around us but there was still a lot of singing going on it was it was decent to be fair but yeah the crowd did erupt and it would it's really strange wrongs I did think like going into the games I thought obviously I expect us to score and I expect us to score at least a couple I'll be honest but it's like you don't want to go too mental
00:11:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:24
Jo
It is like it's almost disrespectful to go mental against a club like Bromley and again it's like honestly no disrespect to them but you know you can't celebrate scoring an absolute you know whatever against Bromley in comparison score against Arsenal I knew it's just not the same feeling it's just not so I knew it would cheer but I'll be honest it was maybe because of a 1-0 down that that cheer was a little bit more
00:11:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
True. True, true.
00:11:45
Jo
and I'm wondering whether you're what you're saying about his faces maybe you thought well hang on a second maybe I'm not going to celebrate too much because actually you're all nailed down and we really needed that just to get back in the game it's all about business now let's get back and like start again type of things I'm wondering whether it was that kind of professional attitude of his maybe on the straight face I'll watch it back and have a look so it'll be interesting to kind of see that again I'll be honest but yeah
00:11:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:11:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
It might have been. It just looks so cute. it just It was funny. I was like, he doesn't realize he's bloody scored. oh, he does raise his score, but he's just, he's probably, yeah, like you say, he's focused on us just being one nil down.
00:12:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's like, I don't care.
00:12:16
Jo
Yeah.
00:12:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
but yeah, I thought it was an absolutely beautiful strike and was probably the confidence boost that he actually probably needed, to to sort of get back into the swing of things.
00:12:19
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:12:22
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:12:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously he's been struggling a little bit, hasn't
00:12:25
Jo
Yeah, definitely.
00:12:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
that was nice to see.
00:12:26
Jo
He has.
00:12:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
then the second goal was, was the penalty, wasn't it? from Mr.
00:12:32
Jo
Yep.
00:12:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Gordon. So I don't really feel like that needs too much focus, but it was,
00:12:36
Jo
It was a well-taken pen.
00:12:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was a well-taken penalty.
00:12:37
Jo
We'll just leave it at that, I guess, can't we? Yeah.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I thought that was greatly taken. And then he has been a man on many people's lips and social medias. And when are we going to see him? Why did we buy him?
00:12:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, he's been up for debate. um Mr. Ostula and that beautifully taken goal.
00:12:53
Jo
It was all mine.
00:12:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
What a goal that was.
00:12:57
Jo
It was.
00:12:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he looked like he needed that when he he celebrated amazingly into that bottom corner.
00:12:58
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:01
Jo
Probably yeah.
00:13:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Now, Whilst the game was going on and that goal had gone in, I'd loaded my Twitter account and know Craig Hope, who does a lot of sports thingy, he had tweeted something about not sure about the body language of a couple of Newcastle players, a bit subdued, half-hearted at times, right which then got me to click on that, which probably then gives him you know all the clickbait he needs.
00:13:11
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:13:15
Jo
Yep.
00:13:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
A lot and a lot and a lot of them replies from Newcastle fans are under here and it made me so mad because one of the replies was, Oshula is a waste of space and he is not good enough.
00:13:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Which is why I want to focus on Mr.
00:13:43
Jo
well
00:13:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oshula because how can you say that when we haven't seen him? We haven't seen him. He's come on for, and what was it? Maybe his first start this season? Was it his first start?
00:13:56
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's
00:13:57
Jo
The first time you started, absolutely. Yeah.
00:13:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
First time he started, yeah, we've seen him, it's the first time he started.
00:14:00
Jo
That's when memories fade on, but yeah, yeah.
00:14:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. i I mean, I think it is.
00:14:04
Jo
Yeah.
00:14:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you're judging him on a performance that is, you know, in the back of his mind, he's probably thinking, yeah, I've got a lot to prove because I've come here and no one's seen me play yet, really.
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then he scores that a sudden strike and then the poor sod would probably come onto Twitter and see, well, he probably won't see that, but he could see that and be like, what's the point? so I just want, and I hope he doesn't, and we've, we've focused on this before on another pod about the youngsters of Newcastle and how I hope they don't, know, focus too much on the negative side of social media, because obviously that can affect, and we have seen it kind of affect a lot of, a lot of people.
00:14:23
Jo
I hope it doesn't, to be honest.
00:14:35
Jo
yeah Yep.
00:14:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
so I just wanted to focus on that because one, I wanted to focus on Osceola and how he performs. I thought he actually played really well.
00:14:44
Jo
Yep.
00:14:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I won't lie. And the bit about the body language of a couple of Newcastle players and the likewise of what you said, there was Miggie Barnes mentioned in that, which by the way, I agree with them too.
00:14:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Their body language was not the best.
00:14:57
Jo
Yeah.
00:14:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I'm even going to sort of just point out that the right hand side today, Trips and Miggie was not not the best. So I'm just giving this over to you.
00:15:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do you make of everything I've just said?
00:15:14
Jo
Excuse me for the whole team.
00:15:18
Jo
go I'll go back to Oslo quickly because, yeah, like you know I just rattled some stuff off there about my little notes that I made.
00:15:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:23
Jo
But the whole Oslo thing was, in the first half especially, he had no service. Like, what do you want the kid to do?
00:15:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I know.
00:15:28
Jo
Because Isaac could have been up front with no service, yet nobody would have slated him because it's Isaac and everyone loves him.
00:15:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, exactly.
00:15:33
Jo
So I cannot be abiding by any of that sort of thing. And his body language did not look off. So I hope that Oslo wasn't called out for body language. He just wasn't getting the service. So there's absolutely nothing he could have done.
00:15:43
Jo
His goal was absolutely fantastic.
00:15:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I agree.
00:15:46
Jo
it's It's funny, you know, because when he first took it in from that distance with me being down in the Gallagut corner at that point, and I'll be honest, kind of look at it at a bit of an angle. I thought it was big jaw cutting in at first.
00:15:56
Jo
And I thought it was him striking. But as he hit it, I realized it was Oslo.
00:16:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:00
Jo
So could just with him having the blonde hair, I mean, and from that distance, like I say, other end of the pitch, you know what I mean?
00:16:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:05
Jo
And the big guys, he's a big guy, like Big Joe.
00:16:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a big one, yeah.
00:16:07
Jo
So, but, but again, and he took it so well, a bit like Big Joe esque because Big Joe is now an absolute beast in comparison to what he was.
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:16:16
Jo
no, I also was. great when you could be. It's as simple as that. I've got nothing bad to say about the kid today. He didn't do anything wrong in particular.
00:16:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Me too.
00:16:22
Jo
He just didn't get the service in the first half, so there's absolutely nothing against him.
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:16:26
Jo
Now, as you know, I've just said, literally I said, Barnes no good, and Miggy need to sell. I'm done with Miggy, by the way, and this is nothing against Miggy. I don't dislike the kid. I say kiddies, I'm not even that young anymore, is he?
00:16:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
No he's not.
00:16:37
Jo
and was feel proper old when I say that but yeah like I've got nothing against him but like he picked a while ago for us he's done he did not perform well against a fourth tier team I'm sorry there's just the mitts plays passes he was not on it in any shape or form and then he wonders why oh he might not wonder I don't know
00:16:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
No he didn't.
00:16:54
Jo
why he doesn't get picked for the first team in the main matches. And Barnes to me, I don't really care because I support my dad after the match. He was just like, well, maybe he's just sick of being on the bench and this, that and the other. That doesn't wash for me.
00:17:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
No neither.
00:17:05
Jo
I mean, I don't know if that's the case. Obviously, that's just my dad saying it. And he agreed. Like, it's obviously him just saying it. But if it is something like that, then go. Like, if you really are going to feel that way, but if it's not that way and you're going to come on and perform like that anyway, how can you possibly try to be getting into the first team?
00:17:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:22
Jo
with a performance like that it just wasn't good enough at all and unfortunately i don't i don't like all the hate that shawn gets because he's i hate that it's a jory that gets this lazy target and i don't like that at all in a way we should actually stick up for our own more than we do and it's usually the other way around they get picked on a lot more but long stuff had a shocker man he was just he was all over the place today man like
00:17:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I noted three players. It was Miggy Longstaff, sorry, four. It was Miggy Longstaff, Longstaff, Longstaff, Bonds and Kelly.
00:17:53
Jo
Yeah.
00:17:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I feel really bad saying this about Lloyd Kelly, because again, he's probably another one that hasn't had a lot of game time, I suppose, but he's had more than most. And I just found all four of them, not all at the same time, but at certain points in the game.
00:18:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
their attitude, just not what you want to see on the pitch. Now, whether or not it is a case of they're frustrated because they're not in the first team and they're being picked for you know games like today.
00:18:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
But that should give them the motivat motivation to be like, right, we're going to go out here. We're going to bust a gut. We're going to give Eddie a massive headache. We want to get picked for the first team week in, week out.
00:18:27
Jo
yeah yeah
00:18:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
And unfortunately, if I was Eddie Howe looking on that sideline today, I'd be like, well, not one of them four are going to be over the you know the normal starters. And that's totally valid. I don't normally agree with a lot what Craig Hope says. I'll be honest, some things he does put out there, I'm like, I don't know where you've got that from, but okay. But some things I'm like, yeah, fair. And this is a ah ah tweet of that just sort of sparked my interest now as like, I wonder if he's thinking what I'm thinking. And then, you know, you scroll down, you see the replies and a lot of people are agreeing with us. The only one I do not agree with is the Ocelot one. I just think how can you judge a player who, like you say,
00:19:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
got no service, he's, you know, lacked a bit of game time and, you know, I just felt a bit a bit sorry for him and I thought he was a bit of an easy target for people there. But the other four, and I do agree, i I don't really come for Sean Longstaff because I think he pulls us out a hole when he needs to and he performs when he needs to, but he had an absolute shocker today.
00:19:11
Jo
Yeah.
00:19:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did not play well at all and, yeah, I'm not convinced by the Lloyd Kelly um I feel really bad. I feel really bad for being negative saying that because I know we just come off the back of a win, but there is some players that I think need to give their heads a little bit of a shake and get back on focus on what's right.
00:19:41
Jo
yeah
00:19:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's where I'm going to leave that. I just wanted to focus on that a little bit because I felt a bit sorry for for Will, like I cant know him, for Ocelot.
00:19:52
Jo
Big will.
00:19:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I just wanted to focus on some of the plays that you know we haven't seen play for a while and we can probably see probably why. So we'll leave part two there and then I will do the next advert if I can find it, because I've just deleted it, found it, and we'll go into part three.
00:20:01
Jo
Yeah.
00:20:06

00:20:36
Jo
What?
00:20:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, we're in part three. I can't believe we've managed to speak 20 minutes or so, just the two of us.
00:20:42
Jo
Good man.
00:20:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, we're good. Part three.
00:20:47
Jo
Part three.
00:20:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's going to be more positive, what we're doing.
00:20:49
Jo
What were we doing? We were doing pretty positive, right? We've just been, you know, dissecting.
00:20:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're positive, yeah. you We're dissecting everything, yeah, I like that. m Right, so all week, and I say all week since the Arsenal game on Tuesday, and I touched on this when I think it was me, you and Ian when we recorded before the Arsenal game,
00:21:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
saying how desperate I was.
Newcastle's Potential Success
00:21:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know every Newcastle fan is. Please don't please think I'm above everyone else. But I don't think anyone understands when I was sat here saying I'm desperate. I'm so desperate for us to get to obviously the final. And I know we all are. So my question is, and I don't know if I'm being a bit too premature. Probably am, but it gives us something to talk about because it's just the two of us. Is this the year? And I'm not going to say the words. Just hear what I'm saying. is Could this be the year where we finally do it?
00:21:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hit me.
00:21:44
Jo
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:48
Jo
I don't care me I'm on like such a positive trip right now like you laugh and I may as well tell you the story now on the podcast but I told it Donna I had such a weird dream last night you know when dreams are like proper realistic but I literally had a dream that encompassed both the second leg tie against Arsenal and the final as I see it playing out so just you know the only difference is the final didn't finish in my dream unfortunately I woke up so in my dream
00:21:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
many
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:22:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
so no
00:22:13
Jo
I know, it's all right. In my dream, we win the second leg tie against Arsenal, except in my dream, there was Helen because the TV had cut out and there was like a media blackout and I couldn't get the score or anything until after the match had finished.
00:22:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:22:26
Jo
So there was like Helen in this dream. It was very weird dream. and But anyway, beyond end all is, we won it, we end up in the final, apparently we placed first.
00:22:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, no!
00:22:35
Jo
I was there because obviously I'm totally gonna get a ticket.
00:22:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh god.
00:22:38
Jo
I was in hospitality and I was with Donna, I know, so I was even telling Donna, I was like, Donna, me and you were in some like swanky hospitality in Wembley.
00:22:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh, General Sale?
00:22:46
Jo
I say, is an in the dream with scored and we're jumping about like absolute, he's in drunken lunatics in this hospitality because it was this free bar or something. But unfortunately that's as far as the dream went. So spoiler alert, we're gonna get to Wembley and we're gonna score at least
00:22:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll win.
00:23:00
Jo
But yeah, so yeah, I'm on a bit of a positive trip, yeah.
00:23:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Basically, it was saving it for the real thing. Didn't want to ruin it for you.
00:23:05
Jo
Yeah, i't you know, I really want to spoil it.
00:23:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, definitely not. So my thinking around this question, and I'm sure it's in the back of every Geordie's head and you know on the tip of the tongue, and obviously people are probably waiting until the second leg, because we've still got a second leg to go, and I get it.
00:23:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've not got that yet. But I'm going to be honest, when we played Arsenal on Tuesday, I was expecting a bit more from them, I'm going to be honest.
00:23:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Michael Aeteta can blame the ball or whatever he wants to blame.
00:23:36
Jo
So weird.
00:23:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
But seeing us play on Tuesday has given me, I'm on like a big positive high from Istio. I'm on a positive from us all, from the past eight games, nine games, whatever it is now.
00:23:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I think we're just playing so well and we deserve it and we' would you know we're showing Eddie, like we know we're here, we're here to win it, we're here to you know we're here to do it and we're gonna write ourselves in history in history books.
00:23:54
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I was sat there after that game on Tuesday, I didn't go to sleep for like another two hours after it, I was texting you guys, which you guys were still surprised that I was awake. And I'm just like, sat there and I'm like, I'm lying in bed and I'm like, we're gonna do it.
00:24:05
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is the year we're gonna do it. And I know it's gonna be the year we're gonna do it. I really wish the boys were on here so I could ask them the same question. But I'm just like,
00:24:18
Jo
I think they'd agree.
00:24:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think they'd agree. Yeah.
00:24:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Ian would go for a 3-1 win in the final. 3-1 in the final.
00:24:21
Jo
I imagine though, everyone win the fight.
00:24:27
Jo
Everyone get the bets on now.
00:24:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on. But yeah, I just wanted to, ah because I just feel like it, well, it probably, it's been spoken about all over and how well Newcastle are performing and their form and blah, blah, blah.
00:24:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, I just think it's going to be the year. do You told us about your dream. You told us about the dreams. You obviously think it's going to be the year, but
00:24:46
Jo
Yeah I do.
00:24:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
dream aside how are you what are you feeling how are you thinking it's going to be ah it's going to be hard the next leg i know we're at home but ask them are going to come with a point to prove because that's apparently what they do even though they're just lost against man united and penalty they've got nothing to lose yeah please don't no no
00:24:59
Jo
They've got nothing to lose. Simple as that, right? And they haven't. And we know that, but we play our game, we defend well, we'll play 5-5-0 for 90 minutes. I don't care. Do it. You and Eddie, you have permission right now to play the most boring, 90-minute defending game if you really want.
00:25:15
Jo
It gets us to Wembley. Would you not though, if it promised Wembley? Would you not? I know I'm joking, because he's blatantly not going to play 5-5-0. Seriously though? Would you not have it guaranteed, Wembley?
00:25:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
If it guaranteed the final, yeah.
00:25:26
Jo
Nah, come on now.
00:25:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on.
00:25:28
Jo
That's what I mean. got it Gotta to play it sensibly.
00:25:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:30
Jo
And he's not stupid. He's going to know exactly how to play that game.
00:25:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:32
Jo
He'll probably hit them at first. We'll go out pressing. We'll slowly but surely do exactly what we did in the last game. We'll protect the win. We've got a 2-0 lead.
00:25:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:25:41
Jo
It's as simple as that. And that's how he's going to play the second league second leg sorry second leg.
00:25:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got it.
00:25:46
Jo
And we're at home. We've got everything going for us. We couldn't have asked right for a better setup for the second leg. So if they screw it up, it's all on us.
00:25:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no.
00:25:53
Jo
It really is as simple as that.
00:25:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we're hopefully going to be there.
00:25:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fingers crossed. For the second leg, not the final.
00:25:56
Jo
We'll be there, right?
00:25:58
Jo
Re-sale tomorrow, right?
00:25:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know. I think so.
00:26:01
Jo
It is checked, yeah.
00:26:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. It's all on you. Yeah. um Yeah. So that's, sorry, the guys, this has been a bit of a blase pod because it's just, I just want to focus on so much.
00:26:02
Jo
It's alright, it's in my diary already.
00:26:07
Jo
Now we're just completely hyper about.
00:26:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. So basically what we're saying is it's going to be the year we win a trophy. That's what I'm putting out there. On the 12th of January, 2025, this, well, the time you're hearing this, it'd be the 13th of January.
00:26:17
Jo
Oh, nightmare.
00:26:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nicola is saying it's the year. It's going to be the year and it has to be the year because I'm too excited for it not to be the year Well, it's Yeah At least Also, it's the week before my 30th birthday
00:26:22
Jo
Yeah.
00:26:29
Jo
Well, me and Donna were standing the strawberry beforehand and we were planning on how many days after the final, we were going to take off work because we'd need time to celebrate, come down, celebrate, hang over for years. So she was sort of taking the whole week off. I was like, that's a really good ploy. I'm off on the Monday already anyway. So I was like, I need to take at least the Tuesday off, maybe the Wednesday, because that's, this city is going to explode. Anytime we... Oh.
00:26:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
the final. It's gonna happen, Jo.
00:26:56
Jo
You need to come up, man. Come up.
00:26:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know, but now I'm worried because obviously I'm just talking, sorry guys, you vote everyone that's listening probably doesn't even care.
00:26:59
Jo
you cast on
00:27:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
But obviously the potential, the the thing it could be, it could be a Liverpool Newcastle final. Now, if anyone that doesn't know, my husband supports Liverpool. That's not gonna go down too well, is it?
00:27:15
Jo
times
00:27:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bad time. Yeah, can someone pick me up for a night?
