Global Sports Podcast Network

Global Sports Podcast Network

00:00:31
Jo

00:00:31

00:00:32
Global Sports Podcast Network

00:00:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I am perfect. Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:00:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's alright. I feel like I should call Joe something wrong now, but it's alright. We're also joined by Joe, in case you hadn't noticed.
00:00:49
Jo
Hi,
00:00:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
How's it going, Joe?
00:00:50
Jo
I'm Peachy. I'm just gonna be nice boring Joe tonight. I don't want to be Jimmy.
00:00:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, if there's any Jimmys out there, I'm directly talking to you, and you can join in on today's podcast in the comments.
00:00:58
Jo
Oh dear God.
00:01:01
Jo
Yeah.
00:01:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But for now, am joined by Nicola and Joe, and I've got a couple of, well, a number of topics, actually, i want to talk about today.
Season Predictions and Tactical Analysis
00:01:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Firstly, Top five, 36 games down, two still to play, Arsenal and Everton.
00:01:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Arsenal next for Eddie Howe's men. We've beaten them three times this season. Arguably, we do need a draw, um some might say, just to make it comfortable on the last day of the season.
00:01:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:01:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
But after Sunday's performance, are yeah are you comfortable of getting a result, Joe?
00:01:37
Jo
Yeah. ah Well, we predicted, me and Nick predicted four wins. so to be fair, we've only been wrong once so far. um So we're still on on top.
00:01:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
All seasonal. Yeah.
00:01:47
Jo
No, just the last four. So the Brighton one was where we got it wrong. But, you know, we got it wrong and we still drew. It's fine. um Chelsea was a nice, comfortable win, wasn't it?
00:01:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:01:56
Jo
Very comfortable for the lads.
00:01:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:01:58
Jo
um But yeah, um ah to be fair, I'd be happy with a sneaky little 1-0 win just to see another game where we beat them forty four out of four. with no goals scored against us, and Arteta crying his way all the way back, and Ush finishing second.
00:02:11
Jo
And Ian having the most celebratory win, bless him. Fair play to him putting that bet on though, but yeah, second would just be unreal, right?
00:02:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah,
00:02:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah he's been saying all season, well not all season, the last two, three months that we're going to finish second and I've been telling him he's wrong the entire time. And so well, the weekend might be the day I finally look like an idiot.
00:02:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
And some people might be thinking that's happened a number of times already, Jimmy.
00:02:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
as
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But how about you, Nick? Are you confident about getting a result at the Emirates?
00:02:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
i um as confident Yes, I am confident that we're going to get a result at the Emirates. More so because the Arteta breakdowns that have been happening over the course of the last couple of weeks, he's already lost it.
00:02:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's already gone. He's gone. His head's gone.
00:02:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's gone. um And it has been gone since we smashed him the semifinals.
00:02:58
Jo
Yeah.
00:02:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So, it's gone. We're going to do it.
00:03:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, as Liverpool fans aptly put it.
00:03:03
Jo
Love that.
00:03:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, that was brilliant.
00:03:05
Jo
It was fantastic.
00:03:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely fantastic. Talk about the terrible TIFO that they did for the Champions League semi-final.
00:03:11
Jo
Love
00:03:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Liverpool blew it out of the water and then, well, we did exactly the same against Chelsea. Great atmosphere there. But Arsenal fans wouldn't know anything about that. But I want to talk about tactics. Yeah, tactics on a Tuesday.
00:03:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who'd have thought it?
00:03:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I've got my strongest subject.
00:03:24
Jo
that.
00:03:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
We all started on Sunday with the 5-2-3. It was the first time Barnes, Isaac, Gertrude,
00:03:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
but but but but but
00:03:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Gordon and Murphy. I nearly combined those two as well there. i'm i'm having I'm having moments at the start of this podcast. It's the first time they've all started together, but if Trippier and Willick are both fit, and maybe even if they're not, can you see Eddie Howe sticking with the back five at the Emirates? What do you think, Nick?
00:03:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I am not sure that Eddie Howe is going to use that same formation. i know it's different ever so slightly, but we did a five at the back technically for um ah game against Arsenal.
00:04:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Was it the semi one of the semi-finals?
00:04:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it was, yeah.
00:04:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Is he going to do that this time round? Will Mikel Arteta be expecting that? I think he might change it up. I think he might change it up, depending depending on the trippier situation. um I don't know too much about the Willick situation, um but depending on the trippy situation, I think he may possibly change it back up.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But who knows? Because he's constantly, he's constantly surprising me. So he might change it completely.
00:04:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't think anyone saw the formation coming at the weekend, not even Chelsea, which is why we scored so early.
00:04:41
Jo
no
00:04:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
But what do you think, Joe?
00:04:43
Jo
and
00:04:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Another five at the back against Arsenal?
00:04:47
Jo
um Again, just what you just said, we didn't really expect to be Chelsea, did we? So um prior to the Chelsea game, I did say that I wanted five at the back of the Arsenal. So it's a funny one, isn't it? Because we are talking about like ifs and buts on the whole availability thing. But let's pretend it is as it is, if you know what i mean. And Tripp still isn't free and Willock still isn't free sort of thing.
00:05:07
Jo
um I would still play it personally. don't know what you mean about Arteta being ready for it, so to speak, but...
00:05:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:13
Jo
Doesn't mean he can handle it. He might try it to be ready for it.
00:05:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
True.
00:05:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah.
00:05:16
Jo
But I still think we can be so much more effective. However, it such a strange one. I think Barnes had a bit of a poor game,
Strategic Formations and Player Impact
00:05:23
Jo
personally.
00:05:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah yeah
00:05:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did.
00:05:23
Jo
But but then, you know, he's he's been great recently as well, so we can't say too much. But yeah, I'd still like to see the five at the back. So I just think it works so well. And I think we can't make it work yet again against Arsenal.
00:05:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%. And if we do play that five at the back, it does mean that Sven Botman's likely to play again, which I know Nick and in particular will be very, very happy about. But it'll actually only be seventh start of the season, which is a bit baffling considering he is our best centre-back, but he's just been injured so much.
00:05:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
And in those seven starts, three of them will have been against Arsenal. which he just seems to come back.
00:05:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's a good luck chump.
00:06:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he comes back, helps us beat Arsenal, and then just goes off injured again.
00:06:00
Jo
So, you must start. It's fine.
00:06:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
So don't expect him to see him play against Everton, but he will be there for a win against Arsenal. And actually at the minute, in those seven starts, we've only actually been behind for 26 minutes while Sven Botman's been on the pitch this season. So a very good omen.
00:06:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
ahead of the weekend's fixture.
00:06:20
Jo
Indeed.
00:06:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
And most of them were against Bournemouth, which we don't talk about Bournemouth because that was that was very, very poor.
00:06:27
Jo
Strange.
00:06:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. ah Yeah, strange game.
00:06:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yes, strange things happen.
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, speaking of the Arsenal game, I do have a question for you both, and it's around actually ticket sales.
00:06:30
Jo
Strange.
00:06:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So, general Joe, you're the the general sale whiz, so maybe you haven't experienced this as much.
00:06:39
Jo
Partly.
00:06:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah But main me and Nicola have had this conversation a couple of times every club. this has had huge complaints over recent years regarding the atmosphere ah declining. ah huge part of that, in my opinion, is through ticket resales.
00:06:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I saw video on X just before there of a Chelsea fan in the Newcastle end um where all of Newcastle fans are celebrating. He's just sat there just shrugging his shoulders.
00:07:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But I went on what seat pick on Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. Can you guess how many tickets were available to buy for the game?
Ticket Resale Market and Fan Experience
00:07:16
Jo
which For the Chelsea game, yeah?
00:07:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:07:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Got to be over 400 actually.
00:07:20
Jo
um was going to say about $2.50.
00:07:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
actually
00:07:21
Jo
Wow. fine.
00:07:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Put them together and you have an answer. Over 700 tickets were available for the game, each at a minimum of 70 quid plus additional fees.
00:07:26
Jo
wow
00:07:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
wow
00:07:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a global problem and it's only getting worse and I think It's a large part of the reason why a number of Newcastle fans want a new stadium. But the big question is, and Joe, I'm going to put you on the spot here.
00:07:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:07:44
Jo
right
00:07:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
How do you fix that as a club? do you find Do you try and find out whose seats it is and take potentially season tickets away from them? Or do you think it's something we can't stop?
00:07:55
Jo
I think there's got to be a way, surely. I know everything's so digital now and they're obsessed with this digital format and they won't have any paper tickets and stuff. But if they are so obsessed with this digital format, there's got to now be better way of tracing it as well.
00:08:07
Jo
Because i'm ah I am the whole witchcraft, apparently, resale queen. But I am getting it through the Newcastle site, so it is legit.
00:08:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:14
Jo
It's always in my name. The one and only time I've ever had a ticket off... um What was it? Football tickets? What's the the most popular one anyway?
00:08:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a few, yeah. Live football tickets there.
00:08:23
Jo
Yeah, yeah, anyway.
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:24
Jo
It was the PSG game. My husband bought us it for... Just me going on my own. You spend 200 quid on it. But 200 quid well spent for the PSG game.
00:08:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Wow.
00:08:32
Jo
I'm sorry. Obviously, it was risky.
00:08:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. so
00:08:33
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Thank you.
00:08:33
Jo
We didn't know that was going to happen. But it was I would have happily now paid more. But the point is, I've only ever had one experience of it. but at least I now know what the kind of experience is. It has got someone's name on it. It it is someone's ticket.
00:08:44
Jo
So whether they are a season ticket holder or whether they're member...
00:08:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:47
Jo
um someone has sold it on that site I do not have any idea by the way of what sort of kind of cut they get of this kind of 200 pounds if i'm going to use that example i don't know what they get I don't know what ticket whatever gets um the site if you know what i mean but surely now there should be a trace because for example when I went in on that ticket then if I had been flagged
00:08:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:09
Jo
I had all the person's details right there. Not that I necessarily want them to get in trouble, but at the same time, I think, yeah, it's a risk you're going to take.
00:09:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:09:17
Jo
I'll be honest.
00:09:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%.
00:09:17
Jo
Look, as a member, i wouldn't risk my membership being like, I wouldn't buy a ticket, say, for example, for any game. and then sell it on those sites, because i don't want my membership taken off, as I don't want to be banned from St.
00:09:28
Jo
James's Park, it's as simple as that, and I think anyone that's willing to risk it, then yeah, I'm sorry, yes, you should be banned, because you're literally profiteering on these sites, you're not selling it for face value, if you're doing it for face value, by the way, I'm i'm all for
00:09:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%. hundred
00:09:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:09:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:09:41
Jo
helping another fan out so if you buy a ticket for 50 quid and
Squad Versatility and Transfer Market
00:09:44
Jo
you want to sell for 50 quid go for it you're not profiteering you're just helping another fan go to a game that you can't go to but if you're going to spend 50 quid on a ticket and sell for 150 quid then no i'm sorry you're profiteering over any of the club getting money but there has to be a way that there has to be way there's names on these tickets like
00:09:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. 100%.
00:10:01
Jo
These are not imaginary people. They're real people. So, yes, there has to be.
00:10:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
and some
00:10:05
Jo
I know what the way is, but come on, I'm i'm not a tech whiz, but surely there's people high enough getting paid enough money to try and trace these things personally.
00:10:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%.
00:10:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we do, there is a system on the the Newcastle site where you can resell back to the club.
00:10:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:10:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it shows that they're not doing it for the reason that us three would oh, let's say the cup final, we have a ticket, one of us managed to get a ticket, oh, we can't go.
00:10:19
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:10:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:10:23
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:10:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
We wouldn't put it online for a grand extra like a lot of people were doing.
00:10:29
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:10:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
would We'd make sure another Newcastle fan actually got to go. And unfortunately, that's not what's happening.
00:10:33
Jo
Yep.
00:10:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
But what do you think, Nicola? Is there a way of sort fixing this issue or is it something that's just going to plague football from going forward?
00:10:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and unfortunately it's one of these things that is difficult to police and by police I mean like the club to police um like at the ground and things that like you can't expect the people that are allowing us through the turnstiles to stop every single person we'd be out there for bloody hours but there has to be there has to be a way um in the digital world somewhere where people can be monitoring these people selling these tickets on
00:10:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:08
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And you just mentioned the Carabao Cup final. It's like, it's disgusting that people are buying their Carabao Cup final ticket for, i don't know what the cheapest was, 70 quid maybe. And you go on to the sites that you're talking about and they're on there for like £2,000.
00:11:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And it's just like, these people are, profit it's disgusting.
00:11:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:21
Jo
crazy.
00:11:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's like robbery. And it's happening to every single football club. it's We're not the first ones it's going to happen to. It won't be the last ones it's going to happen to.
00:11:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly.
00:11:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But there has to be a way. And unfortunately, i am going i am goingnna I am going to sit there and say, these fans that are doing that, aren't aren't not real fans but they aren't real fans in my eyes I mean sitting there like you've just said I would sell mine back to the club if I could give it to one of you guys in your name and change it to your name then I would or to a friend or to my you know my family or anything like that and ah you know would ask for face value i wouldn't even ask for anything anything but these people that are doing it some of them have got season tickets and they're benefiting from them them season tickets whilst other people are going to them games um
00:11:43
Jo
Yeah.
00:11:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%. hundred percent
00:11:49
Jo
Or to a friend or something. Yeah, someone you know, yeah.
00:12:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And it doesn't sit right with me. It gives me a really sour taste. And there's going to have to be some sort of way in the football industry, in the football world, every club where they can they can tackle down on it and and stop these people from doing it because it just doesn't sit right.
00:12:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%. And the as we mentioned, it's not just us. You see Manchester United Old Trafford in European games. It's horrendous. I know Rangers fans got in the home end. The Swedish team, whose name I always butcher, and I'd never really try to say it properly, but against Chelsea, the home end, if there's a video circulating online where literally hundreds of thousands are sat in the home end and making it into the away end.
00:12:32
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:12:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's not safe for fans at all.
00:12:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:12:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I know it doesn't just happen at Newcastle, but it is something that needs to be fixed.
00:12:48
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:12:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:12:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
If anyone has any ideas that we can put forward to the club, ah Daily Newcastle can indeed save the day with your help.
00:12:54
Jo
but
00:12:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ring the number. No. But on that note, speaking about helping, let's go to Bionique for some great advertisements.
00:13:07
Jo
but
00:13:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely fantastic stuff. So speaking about what's right for you, we're going to move on and talk about what's right for Newcastle United in the summer. And I want to mention the versatility of a number of squad players because a lot of our squad players do get a little bit of stick.
00:13:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, but on Sunday we saw Jacob Murphy, uh, Very much a loved player on this podcast. ah he He played at right back or right wing back, should we say, for a large portion of the game and did very well.
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tino plays both sides. Kraft and Target are filled in at centre-back at times. Joe Linton can basically play anywhere in that front six. The wingers are comfortable at rotating. I could go on for years, but that would be a very boring part of the podcast. So I'm going to ask you, ah Nick, do you think the versatility of Newcastle United's squad players actually gives us an advantage in the transfer market in the summer, and allowing us to sort of focus on specific positions.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Knowing numbers isn't a problem, but quality is actually the problem in certain places.
00:14:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
haven't really thought about it and until you've actually just positioned it to me in regards to how versatile our team actually is. um
00:14:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's great, isn't
00:14:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It is actually quite funny to think because I feel like you could put Joe Linton in goal and he'd still do a cracking job. Yeah. coming from someone that criticised that player so much when he first joined. um
00:15:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Look, it the yes, our club, is um our players are versatile. um I mean, Emil Kraft, he deserves a massive shout out because he looks like he's just he he plays every single game and doesn't like it doesn't look it affects Do you know what I mean?
00:15:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And he came on yesterday, on Sunday, and he did an absolute cracking job.
00:15:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And he is a player that um doesn't doesn't and doesn't get enough recognition as a fan base, not just from us.
00:15:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brilliant job.
00:15:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um but there's no doubt you're right joe just running off oh no it's not um so um there is there is no doubt um a among the fan base as a whole that we do need to upgrade certain positions let's be honest now
00:15:31
Jo
I realized I could hear my daughter's and I thought it's going to be drowning out you talking actual sense. So yeah, please go.
00:15:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
thought she was running away from the question. 100%.
00:15:38
Jo
No, no, no. I'm good.
00:15:49
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Jacob, I won't shy away from that.
00:15:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
and so
00:15:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Jacob Murphy is unreal and he is, you know, probably hit the form of his life in most recent months, weeks. um Is that still a position that we need to probably get another player in? Absolutely.
00:16:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Is that me saying that Jacob Murphy deserves to be taking that position away and put on the bench? No, but it does mean that we do need to have a backup and a decent one at that because we've, we've spoke before about squad rotation and when we get smacked with injuries. So as you've seen,
00:16:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
with Trippier and Willock. um I appreciate these are not the same positions, but we don't struggle. But, you know, if two players yesterday were to get injured, we would be a little bit thin on the ground.
00:16:27
Jo
We
00:16:27
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um So, yeah. So, yes, we do have a versatile squad and they all do a fantastic job where they're told to play and, you know, they can all slot in where they need to. But it does mean, it still does mean we do need to upgrade certain positions for that squad rotation and depth, particularly if we get into, europe well, when we get the Champions League next year.
00:16:46
Jo
yep
00:16:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And what do you think Joe, do you agree?
00:16:50
Jo
Yeah, I mean, we've discussed the kind of versatility of all of our players, especially i love the versatility of the front. I was going to say front three, but it's not even the front three, is it really? So know you've got Gordon, who can play on both sides and the middle.
00:16:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Yep.
00:17:02
Jo
Barnes technically can also play all three. Then you've got Isaac, who will obviously predominantly play in the middle, but is great on the left as well. But then you've got Murphy, like you say, he's not just a right winger. He can play the right wing back or simply a right back as well at times he's done.
00:17:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ye
00:17:15
Jo
um I think he's even played on the left at times, hasn't he? I mean... We could go through the whole team, right? and And we could just repeat ourselves here. But I'm absolutely agreeing with everything you guys have just said. We've got Asula, who I think he's quite versatile. He's not just a striker.
00:17:27
Jo
We could use him in other positions as well.
00:17:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:17:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:17:29
Jo
um But I think what would be amazing is if we can kind of just keep building on that. So keep the talent we've got. We've always always talked about how we don't just need like an excellent 11. We need kind of quality backups for each play as well.
00:17:43
Jo
So absolutely, I'm with you on the right wing situation.
00:17:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:45
Jo
We do need a right winger. However, going back to anything we've said a million times over, we'd love to see the likes of Mbwemo come in. Because again, he's versatile.
00:17:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:17:53
Jo
So he's not just a right winger.
00:17:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:17:54
Jo
So for us to buy even more versatile players and just have this kind of squad depth of versatility would be unreal instead of just having squad depth of almost set positions.
00:18:00
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. and
00:18:04
Jo
So yeah, like kind of build on what we've got.
00:18:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:18:07
Jo
We could be... I was going to say undestructible, and that's totally the wrong word. So, what am I going to say? Unbeatable?
00:18:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mint. Bella.
00:18:16
Jo
Unreal! Belter! We're going to be Belter, man.
00:18:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I want a goalkeeper that can play striker.
00:18:20
Jo
So, yeah, we're going to be Belter.
00:18:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's the kind of versatility I want.
00:18:23
Jo
Yeah, but like you say, stick Big Joe in, because I reckon if Big Joe's run out of goal, ah you just, like, it doesn't matter, you can have it.
00:18:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:18:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah I'm crying and running the other way.
00:18:30
Jo
give him the ball.
00:18:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You take it.
00:18:32
Jo
Exactly that.
00:18:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:18:34
Jo
But, yeah, they've been fantastic, haven't they, man, honestly?
00:18:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I'm real.
00:18:37
Jo
Yes.
00:18:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's cracking stuff. And that leads me to the the final question of part two, which is... You have one position you can fill.
00:18:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh.
00:18:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Knowing we've got that versatility, where is it? Is it right wing still? Or is it maybe somewhere?
00:18:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:18:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, Nick's just answered the question point blank there. But what about you, Joe?
00:18:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Sorry.
00:18:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is it right wing or is it centre back or wherever?
00:19:01
Jo
Well, I kind of did give him an answer, didn't Because I'm going to go back to Mbwemo being, yeah, the backup right wing.
00:19:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's who I was thinking.
00:19:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Where more?
00:19:08
Jo
But then again, we've got great backup because he can play in the middle as well. So I'm going to stick with that and still see Mbwemo would be my shout there.
00:19:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:16
Jo
like Yeah.
00:19:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, two for Mbwemo. Let's just hope Fabian Shaw doesn't end up really old and decrepit. Actually, that's a horrible way to use.
00:19:25
Jo
Nice. Yeah, he's left on him.
00:19:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He is indestructible.
00:19:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's a great player.
00:19:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He never gets old.
00:19:28
Jo
You'll never be decrepit.
00:19:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He doesn't age
00:19:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah ah My thought process was that the agent centre-backs, it's one of those where, obviously, we look to fill it in the summer. Marque may be coming in, but let us know.
00:19:38
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:19:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is Mbwemo number one?
00:19:43
Jo
way.
00:19:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
You can tell I've ran home from work, aren't you?
00:19:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You tried to...
00:19:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is Mbwemo number one?
00:19:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm Bwemo and Gahey.
00:19:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:50
Jo
You did.
00:19:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
but What can I say?
00:19:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Perfect.
00:19:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
You combine the two, by the way, there. You've got the greatest points.
00:19:56
Jo
Yeah.
00:19:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Outside of the top six player ever, because they're not going to play for a top six player, but they're both fantastic.
00:19:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:20:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But yeah, and ah if you think in Buemo and you agree with Nick and Joe, let us know. If you think elsewhere, let us know as well. Why not? But in the meantime, we're going to go to our favourite advert, one that's been with us since the very beginning, and it's always read out by...
Newcastle United Badge Change Discussion
00:20:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, it should always be run out by one of the queens of Zencastr. Which one of you is giving it to me today? Actually,
00:20:27
Jo
I'll do i'll I'll go I'll try not to screw it up is it oh Jimmy do you want to do it ah thank you thank you darling you're welcome
00:20:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
PG only. um I am fine. You crack on, hun. You go, Jimmy. I do Jimmy.
00:20:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Word of better than i did, please.
00:20:40
Jo
ah no I'm not looking anymore. Here at the Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot time selecting our delivery platform. Zencastr came out the clear winner. With 4K video recording from your phone and the AI editing that automatically removes all those ums and ahs.
00:20:55
Jo
It's super easy to start a podcast that sounds great and it's delivered efficiently. If you're ready to tell your story, check out the link in show description to learn more about Zencastr.
00:21:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely fantastic. I asked you a word a better than I did and you did exactly that.
00:21:06
Jo
Cheers.
00:21:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we're going move to a topic where I'm going to be honest, I'm just going to shut up. um
00:21:14
Jo
um
00:21:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not for the rest of the podcast, obviously, but I'm going to let you both talk on the topic of our new badge. So obviously, for those that don't know, Newcastle United are looking to change the badge.
00:21:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Since 1988, we've had the current rendition. ah Leave a comment if you think it should be changing, what how you feel about it, um and maybe let us know what you think it should be.
00:21:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Jennifer
00:21:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
But if it's something that's tearing away the crip history of the Precious Club, or is it just another thing to keep it fresh? In the meantime, what's your opinion, Joe?
00:21:45
Jo
m Was it not always expected? Have we not actually been expecting this for quite a few seasons now?
00:21:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:50
Jo
So I wasn't surprised at all. I've got to be honest. I know there's been a social media uproar, but let's get real. There's a social media uproar when anything happens, you know, so really, come on, everyone's kicking off and everyone wants to have their opinion and oh my God, they can't do this.
00:21:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and anything
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:22:03
Jo
Well, actually, they can. And like you said, there like it's been 1988. I mean, we're talking a long time since the last badge change. And was the previous badge about, what, six, five, six years long?
00:22:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:22:13
Jo
I loved that one, by the way, the simplicity of the NUFC with the Little Magpie.
00:22:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
The Little Magpie one.
00:22:17
Jo
And I know they won't, but I'd happily go back to that one or I'd happily go back to the previous one, which again wasn't around for very long. with the more bit more detail but it was still the circular badge wasn't it cast united had the magpie the castle and i've seen people trying to almost tweak that one and say that maybe we should bring that back just change the colors on it a bit i get what they're saying there but i really don't think they're simply going to just take one of the old badges and bring that back um i would happily have either but yeah look come on man it's it's a long long overdue i love the badge i don't want it to change don't don't get us wrong
00:22:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. I love that one.
00:22:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:52
Jo
But it's long overdue in terms of yeah how many years we've had this one in particular. So I just hope they do the right thing.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:58
Jo
I know they've put this whole fan forum thing out. We've all had emails and stuff like this on what would you do.
00:23:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:03
Jo
But can you imagine the vast amount of different answers you're going to in that form? Like, come on. They're going to design what they're design. I just hope they do the right thing and keep it as relevant in Newcastle as possible.
00:23:16
Jo
I'll leave it at that in terms of maybe including a magpie.
00:23:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:23:20
Jo
including the castle or the time bridge or just something that's very relevant to us yeah um i'm a little bit nervous because you never know because you don't know who's designing it i'd love it to be a joy bring in a geordie designer who knows us right and who knows what the fans are going to want and just yeah so i am nervous but yeah it was it was overdue i suppose
00:23:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
and So no sausage rolls, no Stone Island badges, nothing like that.
00:23:42
Jo
Imagine good old sausage, a big old fist with a sausage roll setting out.
00:23:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Sam Fender.
00:23:48
Jo
That's what we're talking about, isn't it? Yeah.
00:23:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
A big eye for people watching. We've advertised it enough.
00:23:53
Jo
Oh, dear me.
00:23:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's on the shirt.
00:23:54
Jo
I know exactly.
00:23:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's on the winner's shirt right there.
00:23:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
on the show now.
00:23:55
Jo
Obsessed.
00:23:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's got his own shirt with like um him on the back of it. I have to see if I can get a photo and show it before the end of the pod.
00:24:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But yeah, I need that shirt in my life.
00:24:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's every Newcastle fan's dream, but, oh it's been milked to death. and But, Nick, what do you think?
00:24:07
Jo
It has.
00:24:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
do it is what about what What do you think about the badge change, should I say?
00:24:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um first of all I mean i'm actually really gutted that we're changing it I've got to be honest um but I kind of expected it because let's be honest new owners new era and all that I knew some sort of change was coming in obviously got the ground rumors and I'm sure that's going to be confirmed at some point in the summer and now we've got the badge changing um obviously we've had all of our sponsors and that changed so fine my problem with it my gripe with it is
00:24:25
Jo
right.
00:24:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm a little bit miffed off that they decided to announce it two days before our probably said most important game of the season and so far. Premier League season, by the way, not the Carabao Cup final.
00:24:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And um it caused this massive uproar with fans. I'm thinking, could we not have just waited until the end of May to announce that?
00:25:01
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That was my first gripe. The second gripe, don't if you guys done the form, they're changing the badge. I'm not sure why they're asking because the questions they were asking were very like,
00:25:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:11
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
we're doing this pretty much very vague, very, very vague.
00:25:12
Jo
So vague.
00:25:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And they're they're going to change it. they're They're just going out to fans just to tick that box. And I'm really, really bad slagging the club off because obviously we're so grateful to have the owners and, you know, the, the times that we have now, we're so grateful.
00:25:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm so grateful for it, but it almost feels like on the pitch and off the pitch are two different scenarios currently. So like they're a little bit ah apart.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, got that.
00:25:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Um, I don't mind that we're changing the badge. I feel gutted about it. I don't mind that we're changing it. What I don't want to happen is the badge to become soulless, if that's the right word to use.
00:25:47
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um Like I hate the Arsenal badge. i hate the new Arsenal badge. ah um You know, I'm not a massive fan of it. I find it a bit boring. um And ah I think the problem I have with it is i find our badge at the moment just very iconic.
00:25:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:26:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:26:00
Jo
Sure.
00:26:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
like go that
00:26:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
that And I'm a bit worried in case, I mean, I'm all for change. Don't get me wrong. I know we've kind of got a, move with the times I don't know if that's the right phrase to use because don't know if a badge will change all that much but yeah I don't want it become soulless and mean nothing whereas I find our badge at the moment is is maybe it's just iconic to me I don't know but yeah that's my opinion on it
00:26:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I get that.
00:26:23
Jo
yeah
00:26:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's It's one of those when you walk through Newcastle in the summer, you do see the Newcastle United crest tattooed on almost every possible crevice someone could be showing.
00:26:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:26:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a Newcastle United badge somewhere. And it's as nice as that is. I can only imagine if you've got that tattoo, it's going to be no not great. But thankfully, Joe, when on the day it was announced, you got your tattoo.
00:26:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Looks absolutely fantastic.
00:26:49
Jo
Maybe they should make my tattoo the new badge.
00:26:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it wasn't the badge. It's fair.
00:26:52
Jo
There's idea for you.
00:26:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
It looks nice.
00:26:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Agreed.
00:26:53
Jo
It's two magpies, right?
00:26:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:26:55
Jo
There's relevance here. I reckon and I'm going to put that petition forward. I'm to send my tattoo to the club and just be, look, check it out. What do you think? Can we work with this?
00:27:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
This is what I designed.
00:27:05
Jo
How do you think it? Can you imagine? came out
00:27:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Love it.
00:27:09
Jo
Yeah, yeah. Everyone's getting the same one.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we mentioned, Nick, you mentioned that that it felt like a bit of a tick box exercise that the club were was sending out the emails. Joe, do you agree with that? No.
00:27:20
Jo
Yeah. um is Come on. is it no and I'm not slating the club here, by the way. This is just a big corporate company tick box exercise.
00:27:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I wasn't either.
00:27:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:27:29
Jo
We all work for big corporate companies, by the way.
00:27:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, no, I understand.
00:27:31
Jo
So we know exactly what we're talking about there.
00:27:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:33
Jo
Because sometimes they just they're going to ask us, staff, fans, whatever, for your input.
00:27:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:39
Jo
When really you know your input. Pretty much minimal to non-existent anyway. And it's just doing it so that they say they've done it. But like I said at the start, not the start, sorry, in my bit there...
00:27:50
Jo
I think there's just too much information going anyway. They've asked some very vague questions.
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:53
Jo
You could write something in a box, which I did. But i was as I was typing, I was thinking, why am I even typing this? Because so many other people are going to typing millions of different things.
00:27:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:02
Jo
And they'll be pulling all this in and go, yeah, I'm not reading all that.
00:28:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:06
Jo
Gone.
00:28:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep, changing it anyway.
00:28:07
Jo
but But they sent the survey out, didn't they? So that's the main thing. But like I said, they'll have designers. Designers will do what they want to do, which is why I kind of joke that hope a Geordie designer.
00:28:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, makes sense.
00:28:17
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:17
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I kind of get like, you know, they're wanting to become this I guess a global brand, maybe. I don't know. You know, like when we go, when we go anywhere abroad, that you know, the PSG jab, jab, the badge, the the Juventus, particularly the new Juventus badge, the Real Madrid badge, they're all so like globally recognised and very basic.
00:28:26
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Basic.
00:28:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. I don't know if this is the club's way of saying, hey, we want to be that club.
00:28:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
This is where we want to go. I want Americans walking around in Miami in a Newcastle top. Like, you know, like we do here with, I don't know, like the New York Yankees baseball top.
00:28:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
She says New York Yankees on it.
00:28:57
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
john I mean, it's things like that.
00:28:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:28:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I get they want to become a global brand, but I just hope in the process of becoming that and taking that club the extra step forward, we don't lose our identity a little bit because we're the ones that matter.
00:29:08
Jo
Yeah.
00:29:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hello. We are the ones that matter over here.
00:29:11
Jo
Yeah.
00:29:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
So, yeah.
00:29:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
that You're 100% right. And I think when you look at like global brands such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Disney, Ferrari, ah they all have very recognisable logos and they're all very simple, as you say. But do you think, even though they've sent out those emails, do you think they've already got one pretty much lined up, ready to go?
00:29:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Absolutely.
00:29:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do you think, Nick? Yeah.
00:29:34

They're business people. Let's be honest. They're business. They're sending the form out to probably gain general feeling of what the fan base is ah feeling. um If they went onto Twitter X, they would have got that straight away because it went in uproar.
