Podcast Introduction and Listener Engagement

00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hi everyone, it's Lydia here from the Daily Brantford and today I'm joined by Michael from the Daily Newcastle. How are you today Michael?
00:00:16
Michael
Yeah, very good. Thank you very much. It's been a long day of recording for the Daily Newcastle team, but we're here. We're ready and hopefully we're going to be talking about a very exciting game at the weekend.
00:00:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
what
00:00:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think it will be. Yeah, there's been a bit of, um I guess, people are trying out new like podcast schedules. So yeah, as everyone knows, we are a new podcast.
00:00:34
Michael
Yeah.
00:00:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So please give us a review and share on your socials, as that will be much appreciated. So I thought to start, we'd have a little bit of a Newcastle focus so that Brentford listeners maybe like can get more of a sense of what's been happening with you guys.

Newcastle's Performance Highlights and Concerns

00:00:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So as we've seen, you've managed to compete against the big teams, beat both Arsenal sps and which I'm happy about because like everyone at work, don't know, it's not even North London, they all just support Arsenal and Spurs.
00:00:54
Michael
Yep.
00:00:58
Michael
Yeah.
00:01:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's like, come on.
00:01:09
Michael
But we're happy to help any way that we can, particularly if it involves Arsenal and Spurs.
00:01:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah no ask last script um And yeah, you also held City to a draw, um but in City also haven't been doing that last time.
00:01:19
Michael
Yep.
00:01:22
Michael
Yeah, it doesn't look like a good result anymore. It was cracking at the time, but yeah.
00:01:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, at the time it was really good. I guess that's in part due to Isaac probably, i'm but I guess i've I've just seen as well that he obviously he went off against this but he seems to be saying that he's fit to play against Liverpool so we should be seeing him then like unless something happens.
00:01:37
Michael
Yeah.
00:01:42
Michael
Yep.
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
home
00:01:47
Michael
Yeah.
00:01:48
Michael
um Just on Isaac, he's one of those players that once he gets a knock, he'll continue to play, Eddie Howell will continue to play him. and um At the weekend, we saw Callum Wilson wasn't ready yet to play um or at least come on for 70 minutes.
00:02:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:02:03
Michael
So Isaac will definitely start if he's available to do even 45 minutes against Liverpool. But what we found in the past is that usually makes the injury worse a lot worse. so We could be going into the game with, I don't know, William or Sue Lara or Anthony Gordon up front and against you, but I'm going to pray that's not the case.
00:02:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:02:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah and ah I probably won't be praying for the same thing. and
00:02:26
Michael
It's understandable.

Inconsistency and Key Player Impact

00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
um so How crucial would you say he's been? You obviously want him to be there on Saturday.
00:02:35
Michael
yeah
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think he's played a big part? I guess you've been really good against some of the top six teams. Do you think that's in part a lot due to him?
00:02:46
Michael
Yeah, I think it's one of those, I think Newcastle's attitude really comes out and I'll be honest, we've got ah a history, particularly this season, well potentially of being naive against clubs that we would maybe deem lesser, um which sounds horrible. um I don't go into any game thinking it's lesser, whether it's going to be Bromley who we've got in the FA Cup.
00:03:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so long.
00:03:08
Michael
um or, you know, Man City. um But it's one of those that you can really see the difference in levels from players such as Alexander Rizak, when we play against the likes of Arsenal, fighting for every ball against Arsenal, but then against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
00:03:25
Michael
ah He barely had a sniff and that wasn't me, that wasn't down to the fantastic play from the Crystal Palace defenders. It just didn't really seem that the attitude was right. Now he went off with an injury,
00:03:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:36
Michael
Maybe that's something that was you know there from before the game.
00:03:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:03:40
Michael
um but And again, to West Ham, it does have to be said, he was very agile, moved well. um Finishing wasn't quite on point.
00:03:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:47
Michael
But to be honest, this season, we we haven't seen the best of Alexander Iza.
00:03:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:03:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.

Game Analysis: West Ham and Brentford

00:03:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And, like, talking about the West Ham game as well, like, why were you there? Were you at St James' Park?
00:04:00
Michael
I wasn't for the Monday night. um I was flying away with work through the week so it was one of those I didn't manage to to get to.
00:04:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
um yeah um it's Probably a good thing you didn't say it.
00:04:09
Michael
Yes, unfortunately, um managed to sort of watch the game, but it was one of those where, looking at it, I thought we were so good in the first 30 minutes attacking, but we just make, we make a few too many silly mistakes in defence.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:24
Michael
It was Lloyd Kelly's first start for a long time, and he's just been court ball watching, or should I say player watching, from a corner, and, you know, we're we're pretty poor at that, and, well, I know, particularly Brent fed at home,
00:04:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:04:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:04:38
Michael
He's a pretty much good at everything at home, so it's gonna be difficult.
00:04:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah um ah guess yeah I was to talk about this as well. We've got the best home record in Europe in a minute.
00:04:50
Michael
Yeah, I'm fully aware. ah I'm not scared about that at all. I'm very scared.
00:04:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
no I know you were saying that in your west hat game against West Ham, it was like by the second half that you seemed to just drop in the form.
00:05:06
Michael
Yeah.
00:05:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'd say that's something we have also struggled with. Also, we're yet to have a, like despite our excellent of record at home, haven't had a clean sheet, which is obviously something to worry about.
00:05:17
Michael
Yeah.
00:05:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
i'm I think we're past our one minute opening goals. ah ah you read So I think you're out in the clear for that but I definitely say because I was at the game on Saturday when we won at Leicester and That was some of our best football.
00:05:23
Michael
Thankfully.
00:05:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we've played in a while. So Yeah, yeah for one Yeah, and honestly if you'd have talked to me before of all our players, I'm sorry I would not think that he'd get a hat it's very very like he was struggling to
00:05:36
Michael
That was a 4-1, wasn't it? Sharda got the hat-trick. Yes, I remember.
00:05:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
adapt to the Premier League, but obviously I think it's going to be like wonders for his confidence.
00:05:53
Michael
Yeah.
00:05:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's always.
00:05:56
Michael
Yeah, I think um he made his debut, I think, as a substitute against Newcastle.
00:06:00
Michael
It might have been one of his first games. And um I remember Brentford on that day in the first half, he was particularly poor. But as soon as he came on, I can't remember who got injured, but he's pace.
00:06:11
Michael
you know I mean, we've got Dan Byrne, for example, at the back.
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:13
Michael
I think he was left back that day. um and he looked incredible so I was sitting there thinking he's gonna be a real gem and he's still young but I think do you think at the weekend you know you saw a sort of side of Charlotte that you didn't know was there or that just hasn't been unlocked yet yeah yeah
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, I think everyone obviously knew that they saw potential in him. I think he had not been good at finishing before, like at all. um And then to get a hat trick, obviously, and they were all pretty good finishes.
00:06:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
So definitely because as you said, the pace, I think sometimes he's just maybe needs to stop and think a little bit more and starting to do that.
00:06:45
Michael
Yeah.
00:06:54
Michael
yeah
00:06:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's obviously like really good to see.

European Ambitions and Transfer Talk

00:06:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, so do you think that Newcastle can aim for Europe that season? Cause I guess it's been a little bit inconsistent, but there's been like really good moments so far.
00:07:04
Michael
of Yeah.
00:07:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, it's early days, but.
00:07:11
Michael
Yeah, what i would what I would argue is we haven't seen Newcastle out at their best this season. um Whether that's down to Eddie Howe, I'd like to say it's not, because I think he's done wonders with us so far, and he definitely deserves you know the time to to make ah what we've had this season you know go right.
00:07:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:29
Michael
But i just I think it is a case of when we play against a low block, We can't really break them down. We really struggle. And if we can get that right, or bring in a player in January, who may be a number 10, should I say, or a a right winger who's particularly good at um negating those low blocks,
00:07:52
Michael
then Newcastle can make Europe. I think top six, I mean, we're only, a couple I think we're only a couple of points off, um, Europe as it stands and no Newcastle fan will tell you they've been happy with how the season started.
00:08:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:08:04
Michael
So Europe's definitely realistic, but at the same time, Brentford look just as likely to make Europe than Newcastle do at the minute. So it could be literally anyone from that top, what 13, 14.
00:08:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think because there's only, well, at the minute there's only one point separating us. I think you're only four from Europe.
00:08:21
Michael
Yeah.
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, there's obviously all to play for still. um Talking of cups as well, we're obviously going to meet again this time at St James's Park.
00:08:30
Michael
Yeah.
00:08:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
What it, two weeks after Saturday? Somewhere like that.
00:08:35
Michael
yeah it's something like the the 19th so yeah about that yeah um which i'll be honest i'm a lot more confident for um than than the away game but you know just as well your away form hasn't been fantastic neither is ours both pretty decent at home so yeah i i don't know if i mean i'll ask you this now actually it might be something you've got planned but would you prefer the three points in the league or to advance in the cup
00:08:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. No, that's not enough. Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to say to advance in the cart, just because I but what i think like I was talking
00:09:05
Michael
ah
00:09:10
Michael
Ah.
00:09:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
to um people about this before. I think it's about time we have like a victory.
00:09:15
Michael
Yeah.
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
flat and burn its And I don't know what else is going to come, but rather obviously
00:09:21
Michael
Yeah.
00:09:24
Michael
Yeah.
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I've been away at St. James's Park where we've done like, completely, awfully, and I know how hard it is to play that, so I'm not that hopeful that it's going to be this season.
00:09:30
Michael
ah
00:09:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, I would like us to win a Cup at some point, like, and I think that this season is not looking like we're at risk of allegations, so it's not going to be desperate for those three points.
00:09:46
Michael
no definitely not
00:09:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we'll see, we'll see. um my So after the break we'll talk a bit more about like our last meetings and then get into the all-important school predictions.
00:10:12
Michael
No, definitely not.
00:11:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so we're back and um I thought I'd start off with a scary statistic for Brentford listeners there. i Newcastle, well, you guys have won in seven out of our last nine meetings, um one of which, one of the other nine was a draw and then a, yeah, I think, oh yeah, we must have won one, don't remember that. But I was trying to do the maths there, my brain went a bit dead. But yeah. um And so yeah, obviously you guys are a strong side. And I think that Brentford, even though we have been like really, really good at home.
00:11:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we do also, as I said before, no clean sheets. We do tend to make some silly mistakes or we're just not there in the second half sometimes. So I think, yeah, there's obviously, it's not, we can't just assume that we're going to win again on the weekend. But I was going to say as well, what Brentford players do you think will be the toughest for you guys to face on Saturday?

Player Performances and Match Predictions

00:12:18
Michael
I mean, it's easy to say the player that we were rumored to have wanted in this in the summer, Brian Embuermo.
00:12:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:26
Michael
Annoyingly, um I would have probably took him even before Ivan Tony left. so Even before last season, he looked like a fantastic player. And I think he really is the danger man.
00:12:38
Michael
Obviously, Kevin Chadd is gonna be he's going to be the most confident we've probably ever seen him. But after a few let's say, lackadaisical defending efforts in recent games from crosses and corners.
00:12:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:12:54
Michael
I think the two centre backs, I don't know who it's going to be that plays on the day, because we've got a few, Vanderbilt, etc, that, you know, I've got a feeling whoever your biggest aerial presence is at the back might be the one that nips in with the goal.
00:13:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:09
Michael
We saw it with Marillo, Nottingham Forest, and since then we've looked quite weak from set pieces. So yeah, I'm worried about But, um, Brentford from a a set piece perspective, but if we're looking at sort of from open play, I mean, you've scored more goals than anyone from open play of the season. It has to be Brian and boy.
00:13:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'd say definitely from a fan perspective, when Tony left, but obviously we were worried like he was our main man at the front, but it was actually pretty good timing and obviously his band that you don't like to talk about.
00:13:40
Michael
Yeah.
00:13:47
Michael
What by never happened?
00:13:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
man on fighting It obviously gave b Brian and Whissa a chance to step up and now we're seeing like the likes of Kevin and
00:13:55
Michael
Yeah.
00:13:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
things like that. So yeah, I think them two at the front. um Unfortunately, right after Whistle was at Albert and now he's back, he seems completely fine.
00:14:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think, yeah, from a fan perspective, it's gone since Tony left, like, if anything, it's gone way better than any of us thought probably. But I think Thomas Rank, he probably knew this all along.
00:14:08
Michael
Yeah.
00:14:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
He seemed to know these things. So yeah, I'd say from um a Brentford perspective, obviously we talked about Isaac, his big threat. And as I said, with our defensive issues,
00:14:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
and our mistakes and even though we won i'm um on last week against Leicester um I had some questions about our defence half the time um and I think also Barnes as well I've noticed a lot of talk about him and he seems to be but yeah someone I didn't really notice before but a bit of a threat as well
00:14:35
Michael
Mmhmm.
00:14:49
Michael
Yeah. Mmhmm.
00:14:58
Michael
Yeah for for Newcastle with Barnes, he was out for most of last season. um It looked at the start of the season like Barnes was going to be with star player. um he had He didn't start that many games but as soon as he came on he was scoring goals off the bench etc. It looks a really dangerous presence. ah What I would ah would say with Barnes the last few games in fact i'll say this when Harvey Barnes plays he either scores and plays really really well or he does absolutely abysmally there's no in between and i'm sure you've
00:15:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a bit all on our own.
00:15:31
Michael
Yeah, you've probably had players like that in the past yourselves, but you know, you'll you'll do nothing for 70 minutes and then ah just like wolves when we beat them to one, he'll bang one in from the 30 yards or whatever top corner, nothing anyone can do.
00:15:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, for sure, yeah, yeah.
00:15:48
Michael
And all of a sudden he looks like a miracle worker. um But yeah, I think Isaac and Barnes alongside Gordon, um Gordon will probably play on the right. I would probably, I agree, they'll probably be our main danger men, given the way I think the game will shape out.
00:15:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't lie, one pair that I root dislike is Gordon.
00:16:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah but
00:16:09
Michael
To be honest, everyone does, and we did as well until he joined us.
00:16:13
Michael
um So at Everton, every single Newcastle fan hated Anthony Gordon.
00:16:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:19
Michael
And then when he joined, he didn't really show the work ethic to begin with, and Newcastle fans were like,
00:16:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:24
Michael
why have we paid 45 million for for this guy and then to be honest he's worked really hard is and hes he has took the diving out of his game to a point he still goes down a little too easy for my liking
00:16:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:16:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:16:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
he still work or that
00:16:40
Michael
um
00:16:41
Michael
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, he's still, I think every winger goes down a little too easy.
00:16:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:16:46
Michael
Um, uh, even with VAR, but I think it's also one of those that he is becoming a lot better player and he is becoming more likable. But if you look at him from Everton, I think a lot of people's opinions are just set in stone because he was arguably the most hated player on the planet then.
00:17:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:17:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah ily like I think it will take a lot for him to change my perception from back then.
00:17:08
Michael
Yeah.
00:17:11
Michael
I can't blame you to be fair.
00:17:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:17:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah so also I guess we'll move on to school predictions and I can't lie I've been pretty successful with them recently so I'm
00:17:21
Michael
Okay. Well, I hope you're protecting a Newcastle win. ah
00:17:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
going to continue with our, say we'll continue our excellent home run and I'm going to say 2-1 to Brentford.
00:17:37
Michael
OK, to be honest, given the way the recent games have gone, I could see it. But I am going to be positive.
00:17:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:47
Michael
I'm known for being Mr. Negative on the Newcastle team. So um I'm trying to change your habit.
00:17:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:52
Michael
um But I think I'm gonna go with a 3-2 win for Newcastle. I think you score a lot of goals, you also concede a lot of goals and ah we've seen recently away from home that we can be very attack-minded.
00:18:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:18:09
Michael
I think it very much depends on what happens against Liverpool in midweek because if we get thrashed at home by Liverpool we're gonna come out with a little bit of a vengeance and you know you've mentioned um Newcastle versus Brentford in the past.
00:18:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:18:23
Michael
We tend to score quite a lot of goals against Brentford.
00:18:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:27
Michael
I think it was 4-2 in the same fixture last season on the final day.
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm
00:18:32
Michael
um So i think I think we'll do well, but to be honest, it's one of those games where you're doing really well at home.
00:18:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
hmm.
00:18:41
Michael
We're not doing fantastic away. You could see it being pretty much any score line, which I guess is what makes it so fun.
00:18:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah that is what makes it fun um are you traveling down i mean it is really far to go so probably not
00:18:54
Michael
No, unfortunately, I won't be coming down to to London this time, um but hopefully it's one of the it's one of the grounds I haven't done, so I need to get there at some point.

Memorable Matches and Conclusion

00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I was going to say, so my final fun question has been recently, what's your favourite away day or an away day story?
00:19:10
Michael
Okay.
00:19:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I thought I'd share my, when we lost 5-1, I was actually at St.
00:19:16
Michael
Okay.
00:19:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
James's Park in 2022.
00:19:23
Michael
All right.
00:19:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
And my auntie took me for my birthday and I, honestly, you know what, I still had a great day because I was like, such a cool stadium and such a good at atmosphere.
00:19:32
Michael
Yeah.
00:19:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we just had to laugh at ourselves, to be honest. And then walking out, we went to get a pizza and had our good shirts peeking out, but all these nice Jordies were saying, don't worry, it happens to the best of us.
00:19:46
Michael
that's Yeah, if anyone knows anything about getting battered, it's us.
00:19:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. yeah
00:19:51
Michael
it's We've had Mike Ashley in for years. We used to go to Liverpool or Man United and go, please, only before.

00:20:04
Global Sports Podcast Network

00:20:06

I do think the Newcastle fans are great at that.
00:20:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, my unique nearby. So I've had many nights out and then late night Greggs, which I respect so much. Like, everyone needs to have a late night, Greggs.
00:20:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, I thought that was, while I was there, I had to obviously go to an away day.
00:20:19
Michael
Yeah, absolutely.
00:20:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But did you have any away day stories you wanted to share or favorite away day moments?
00:20:28
Michael
Yeah, I think my favorite that I've been to was actually when we were in the championship.
00:20:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:20:35
Michael
I went to quite a lot of away games that season and so you i mean we we ended up finished top of the table, so I enjoyed a lot of them.
00:20:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:42
Michael
But the one in particular was Leeds. um So Leeds is a club. There's always that little, or well, they're northern, we're northern.
00:20:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:50
Michael
There's a little bit of a rivalry and I've got ah a lot of
00:20:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
All Brentford fans hate leads. I will say that. All Brentford fans hate leads.
00:20:55
Michael
Fantastic. This is going to sound brilliant.
00:20:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I like to get behind them.
00:20:58
Michael
um And I went down with a couple of friends.
00:20:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:01
Michael
I have a few friends there that were Leeds fans as well. um And before the game, it was all, oh, you're going to get barred. We're going to win the league. we're goingnna And then 20 minutes in, the ball comes over a Rob Green.
00:21:14
Michael
Typical Rob Green fashion. He drops it. uh on the goal line and just from the first moment uh Newcastle fans is a bit of rivalry literally uh I'm not sure if you've been Ellen Road but the least the away fans are there home fans are there right next to them so it's always always probably a great atmosphere but it was just one of those that before during and after the game every Leeds fan I met was just so angry and there's nothing better than angry football fans uh getting that
00:21:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:21:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. No, I lost that story.
00:21:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm really lead fan honestly.
00:21:46
Michael
Yes, ah you were walking through the streets after the game and like found there was p police in between the two fan bases. There was quite a lot of scraps. I don't get involved in that myself, let's be honest.
00:21:57
Michael
I'd get bad at it. But just even on the way back, just every single Leeds fan just ah was just trying to give it the big end.
00:22:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:06
Michael
I love it when a big club gets a little bit belittled.
00:22:10
