Chelsea's Game & Potter's Strategy
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Newcastle Podcast. um I have been trusted to host this episode. I have no idea why. I'm not sure I'm even going to give it any justice whatsoever because we've got a lot to talk about. But it's me, Nicola, hosting. Wish me luck because it's about to be a roller coaster 30 minutes.
00:00:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But before we get into it, I am joined by two guests and I'm going to introduce them. So I am happy you didn't hear what Kev just said before I hit record. Um, but I am joined by our very own King Kev, our wildcard Wednesday guru.
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's feeling poorly people. He's got the stupid man flu that he keeps moaning about.
00:00:47
Jo
um
00:00:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've literally spoke to him for the past four minutes and it's all he's gone on about. Anyway, it's Kev. How are you, mate?
00:00:55
Kev
I mean, it's a great reduction while called guru King Kev event. I've complained about man flu for like a
West Ham's Resilience & Tactics
00:01:02
Kev
minute. So yeah, guys, guys, can guys, this thing can sympathize and be like, God, what a guy Kevin is coming on with man flu and taking one for the team.
00:01:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
a couple of minutes.
00:01:04
Jo
It was a long minute.
00:01:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:01:10
Kev
But I'm actually, wasn't to be here. What a result.
00:01:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, I've got another guest to introduce before you blabber on. Okay, so let's just hold that thought there. I am also joined by the ying to my yang, my fab sha to my Sven Botman.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's my girl Jo. How are you, babe? A bit better than this morning.
00:01:27
Jo
Aww.
00:01:29
Jo
Get it, Nick. I'm bloody brilliant. and I'm so much better than I was this morning. Well, sorry, my voice is not entirely sure of me as a person is better.
00:01:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:01:38
Jo
But yeah, at least I can speak.
00:01:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's fine.
00:01:39
Jo
It's still not 100% my voice as it might here, but it's it's definitely better than the mute I was this morning. But yeah, that's all down to the goddamn excitement about how much last night was.
00:01:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good morning.
00:01:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
but time So when
00:01:50
Jo
I nearly said something and I shouldn't there.
Individual Performances & Adaptability
00:01:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
you guys listen to this, um for those of you that listen on a Friday morning or Friday, we're recording on a Thursday night, which is obviously the evening after
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
um a very exciting caribou cut fiction that we had. So let's get into it. Guys, we bloody done it.
00:02:11
Jo
Should we get into it? Like we got into them yesterday though.
00:02:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
like oh We done it, we done it, we done it, we done it. And that is all I'm gonna say. ah I have never been so nervous for a game other than the final a couple of years ago than I was last night.
00:02:20
Jo
oh
00:02:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was an absolute mess, absolute mess.
00:02:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then as soon as we start a kickoff, All them nerves went and it turned into, well, even before kickoff, I could hear the um obviously atmosphere at St. James Park through the TV screen. Really sad that wasn't there.
00:02:29
Jo
Epic.
00:02:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, it sounded epic. um Once the kickoff went, nerves went and I was all in. So I'm coming to you guys. Kev, how we feeling?
00:02:40
Jo
epic
00:02:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bring it.
00:02:50
Kev
Just, I mean, two finals in three years.
00:02:55
Kev
m and You know what, right? The crowd deserve loads of credit. I think my relationship with Newcastle fans, not with Newcastle fans know who I am, but just my personal relationship with Newcastle fans.
00:03:06
Kev
It's very up and down because I feel like we can be our own worst enemy, but you know what? If we could generate bad atmosphere, I know it's impossible, so I'm not blaming the fans here.
00:03:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh yeah.
00:03:14
Kev
but if we could generate that atmosphere every home game we'd win the league i'm convinced i've said to so many people anybody who'll listen to us which again not a lot of people
Potter's Leadership & Young Talent
00:03:24
Kev
i mean half of us podcasts don't want to listen to us but yeah exactly shut up um but no if if we could create that atmosphere we'd we'd genuinely be title challenges because i don't think many teams can come and play in that
00:03:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
True story. I don't want to listen to you.
00:03:38
Kev
PSG couldn't, Arsenal couldn't, there's been multiple other occasions, Spurs etc etc. That list would go on for a long long time if I'd done any research but I haven't because why would you when we're in a Flee Cup final?
00:03:49
Kev
ho Almost swore as well.
00:03:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh
00:03:51
Kev
The amount of swear words, equipment this one is very close.
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
a
00:03:53
Jo
This is gonna be a tough one guys, we're three minutes in.
00:03:54
Kev
um But you know anyway, the fans deserve a lot of credit because it was incredibly difficult for Arsenal to try and play any sort of game in that environment. and It's a conversation for another pi another time, but it's definitely a reason why we should not move Stadium. But as well as the fans getting credit, the players deserve an absolute insane amount of credit. Tuning up, everyone was nervous. They handled that so well. However, no surprise.
00:04:23
Kev
Kev is going to give a the most credit to Eddie Howe. The amount of people sat around me saying, why has he gone five at the back? Get away and jump. That was not five at the back. Fabian Shaw was like a third striker at times.
00:04:34
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:04:36
Kev
No way Jose was at five at the back. But what a tactical masterclass man for man all along the pitch.
00:04:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:04:42
Jo
What?
00:04:43
Kev
Fabian Shaw following Declan Rice around and literally getting the second goal.
00:04:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh.
00:04:47
Kev
Fabian Shaw is the one who won the ball. so Eddie Hall got an absolute bang on and if people aren't singing his praises and if you listen to a couple of Wild Call Wednesdays ago, I said he was the number one manager in Newcastle United's history.
00:04:58
Kev
And I think I'm right now.
00:04:59
Jo
It's going to be.
00:05:00
Kev
I think I'm right now.
00:05:01
Jo
It's going to be not great.
00:05:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
You did, but I'm also going to just point out that we all panicked in our little chat when we seen the um five defenders on this team sheet.
00:05:03
Jo
It will be.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
We did all panic. Um, but no, no, no, I'm not having that.
00:05:12
Kev
I was okay. ah I never doubted him.
00:05:13
Jo
I called for it, i've got ah you gotta admit I called for the...
00:05:14
Kev
I never doubted him.
00:05:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I'm not having that Kev.
00:05:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
We panicked. Yeah.
00:05:19
Kev
I didn't.
00:05:21
Kev
I said, I'm not sure on five at the back, but I never died. I was never negative about it.
00:05:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. Okay. I, when I seen the school, um, the school sheet, no, when I seen the, um, Oh my God, the lineup sheet, I did the team sheet.
00:05:33
Kev
Team sheet.
00:05:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. but I did think. what is it what's good Tonight is not the night to be experimenting, Eddie. And I was a bit like, tonight is not the night. And then we started and I thought, this is why Eddie Howe is a Premier League manager and I just worked nine to five.
00:05:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is exactly why I'm not on the sideline because he knows exactly what he's doing.
00:05:51
Kev
yeah
00:05:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I obviously know Jackal. So that's cool.
00:05:58
Kev
The other thing as well, which was really like, I was, obviously I was nervous because I think every fan was, but I was saying my brother was at the game and I was like, Oh, this is going to be a big game. 10 minutes before kickoff, I took the atmosphere in and I was like, we're not losing this.
00:06:13
Kev
There's no way can Arsenal come into this atmosphere, this cauldron and we never were getting booed as they came out onto the pitch.
00:06:17
Jo
was, wasn't it?
00:06:20
Kev
So there was just zero chance. I literally you said 10 minutes of the game, we're winning this.
00:06:23
Jo
you
00:06:25
Kev
So yeah, well done fans.
00:06:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well done. Um, Joe, anything to add?
00:06:32
Jo
Yeah, um right back to the start of what Kev was saying about the atmosphere, I suppose, because I i said at the start, if we can create PSG style atmosphere in there, there's not a chance that they're going to get anything from it.
00:06:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Give it.
00:06:43
Jo
We did create that atmosphere, and look what happened. So I've always said, I think, and we we've all said it to be fair, and Kev goes on about it a lot, about our fans to be fair, but he's bang on. If we can just create that atmosphere, and I know it's impossible to do it on a week by week basis, but still, I think we can do it maybe a little bit more than we do, because it just shows it can be done.
00:07:01
Jo
um now it I think we're unbeatable and I would happily play you know everyone's like oh if they end up playing Liverpool in the final Liverpool will smash them. We can we can beat Liverpool in that type of atmosphere you know what I mean so I'm not you know weirdly enough by the time this pot is out we're all going to know who we're playing because you know the game will have been finished or speculation at the minute but just
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, no.
00:07:22
Kev
Imagine if we could play at home in the final. We'd win if we'd be anybody.
00:07:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, we'd win it.
00:07:26
Jo
I don't even know where to start with last night. It was just perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere, the players, the fans were all worked in just perfect unison didn't we?
00:07:45
Jo
Oh guys, you know what it is? I had so much to say and you know when you have an absolute brain fart?
00:07:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
i
00:07:49
Jo
This is what's happening right now because I want to say so much but I don't even know what I want to say first. I
Team Improvement & Challenges
00:07:56
Jo
don't know. Move on, I'm going to dig back in because I've got something to say.
00:07:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am.
00:07:58
Kev
I know...
00:07:59
Jo
I'm having a moment.
00:08:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're having a moment, are you OK?
00:08:03
Jo
Brain dead moment? No, I'm fine.
00:08:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brain dead.
00:08:04
Jo
I'm just having a...
00:08:05
Kev
I
00:08:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
You go and then I'll go and then we'll go back to Joe.
00:08:09
Kev
was going to say I've probably got someone which can read like Joe's thoughts. Like we said about the atmosphere, as soon as Arsenal came out and the game started, I mean, what a start. Offside goal.
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:08:20
Kev
I've seen it from two different angles. One angle he looks offside, the other one he looks on, it's difficult.
00:08:23
Jo
Yeah, it's too close.
00:08:24
Kev
I can't complain.
00:08:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah And I'm not going to complain because the result went in our favor in the end, obviously.
00:08:25
Kev
I don't think I can complain either way.
00:08:26
Jo
Far too close.
00:08:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it if on the flip side, that didn't go in our favor, it was a completely different game. And, um you know, it was a draw and it, you know, whatever.
00:08:37
Jo
Yeah.
00:08:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's say it wasn't going the way it went um on. obviously Obviously, I know you guys wouldn't have seen the lines, obviously, we could use where, but on the TV, they didn't do the VAR lines. They didn't do them.
00:08:48
Kev
ah we didn't hear that oh i didn't hear that in the ground i don't know if it's because we were just doing but yeah yeah yeah
00:08:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
it justter you know The referee had his Britney Spears moment, got his microphone out and was like, it's a no-goal.
00:08:51
Jo
Dodgy.
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:08:56
Jo
I couldn't hear it at level seven either. No, I couldn't hear it either.
00:08:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I'm not surprised because yeah but on the TV you can hear it. Also, what a way to make referees even more hated by them announcing the no-goal decision like that. It was a little bit of carnage, but you didn't actually see the lines, which I was going a bit mad about for any other game you do, but this one you
00:09:06
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:10
Kev
It's close, it's very close. You know what upset me most about that and and anybody who again knows me knows how much I dis despise VAR. Don't come to me about getting decisions right because it takes away from a fine experience with so many goals including my second goal last night.
00:09:27
Kev
I didn't really celebrate because I'm thinking oh Shah is one of them but he's probably offside.
00:09:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:32
Kev
My first goal is the first time in three years I forgot VAR existed.
00:09:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:09:37
Kev
I went absolutely mental.
00:09:37
Jo
Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:38
Kev
ah It's unlike me. Normally I'm quite calm and I celebrate and I enjoy it, but I'm always looking at lines, man. I'm looking at whatever. It's the first time in three years, I forgot that they all existed and I was literally going absolutely mental.
00:09:52
Kev
And then it came up on my screen. I was like, why, how did I forget about it?
00:09:55
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:56
Kev
It's ruined my football experience for three years.
00:09:57
Jo
I've got a story about the first goal now.
00:09:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:59
Kev
i And then I forgot about it.
00:09:59
Jo
ah that My brain's washing up a bit.
00:10:00
Kev
but what what a start that was.
00:10:02
Jo
It's fine.
00:10:03
Kev
I haven't heard a noise like that. I know it didn't count, but I just wanted to get right into this podcast.
00:10:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't care.
00:10:07
Kev
I've never heard a noise like that at St James's Park, ever.
00:10:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
You could feel, this sounds really silly because I know it's not the same. Obviously I've been to St. James Park loads of times, so I know it's not the same, but you could, it i this is going to sound really corny and I'll get into it in the second part, but you could actually feel the atmosphere at home.
00:10:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was watching it on my own with my dog on the couch. And I was sat there on the edge of my seat and
Injuries & Defensive Needs
00:10:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was like, had goosebumps. And I was like, this is my club. Like, and I'm not even there.
00:10:33
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
And you could feel it.
00:10:33
Kev
I've never heard anything like it.
00:10:35
Jo
The place exploded, didn't it?
00:10:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was noisy. Even Gary, the commentators, even Gary Neville was talking.
00:10:37
Jo
It exploded.
00:10:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
You couldn't even hear him. It was crazy.
00:10:40
Kev
Now he never said after after that game, I think he was getting interviewed for something and and he was like, it's the best atmosphere he's been to this season.
00:10:41
Jo
It's brilliant.
00:10:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Joe, before you have a brain fart.
00:10:49
Kev
And he was like, if he's building a new stadium, you're losing such an advantage.
00:10:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:52
Kev
And I was like, oh my God, finally somebody said it.
00:10:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to say it.
00:10:55
Jo
Somebody's going to say it.
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Joe, what we'll do is we'll do the first advert because we're over time and then we'll we're going to, the second part is going to be the Arsenal game as well, because I just want to cover it off every single thing.
00:10:57
Jo
Yeah.
00:11:01
Jo
All right. Okay.
00:11:07
Jo
cold
00:11:08
Kev
I think the second part is just yours.
00:11:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, um yeah.
00:11:08
Jo
I'll tell you my little story that I forgot in my head before because my brains not working very well
00:11:12
Global Sports Podcast Network

Yeah, absolutely. um Right, so part one, we reviewed the Arsenal game and how we're feeling, and part two, we're gonna review the Arsenal game and how we're feeling. We're gonna keep on it, um because I'm not ready to stop talking about it.
00:12:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right, Jo's got a story about the first goal, and um I think has got over her Dory moment, so let's go.
00:12:04
Jo
Yeah, the first goal that wasn't, obviously. I have. I was absolutely having a dory moment, that's bang on.
00:12:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
You were.
00:12:11
Jo
I was. So yeah, ah apart from the fact that, yeah, the stadium absolutely exploded, um so did my nose. I got a popped nose.
00:12:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh!
00:12:21
Jo
Yeah, so yeah, so basically we're all going mental, right?
00:12:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Stop it!
00:12:26
Jo
I've got my mate Lindsay at that side, my dad like, we're just grabbing each other and there's like, there's guys like jumping across for some bizarre reason, but we're all just hyped up, right? And I didn't even feel anything. This is how bad it is, right?
00:12:36
Jo
We're all just jumping about and I didn't even feel anything. And then I just thought I had a runny nose, so I went like that with my hand. And I'm just like, ah, still screaming, but I looked at my hand and I thought, huh? And I thought, um I knew I was drunk, but I thought, nah.
00:12:48
Jo
I went like that on my other hand and then I went oh and I was like dad have I got blood on my face and he's like Joanne your nose is bleeding and I was like what the hell so yeah I got a popped nose so then my mate Lindsay she's giving us a tissue I'm like standing like this waiting for the stupid VAR decision so after all that we didn't even get the damn goal from it but yeah I got a popped nose from that but that was fun because I didn't even feel it to be fair and I think I had had enough drink where I got over it so quickly it was
00:13:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, that was carnage.
00:13:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Proper
Formation Strategies & Constraints
00:13:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Northerner. That's a proper Northerner that I don't even care when I know it's got fucked.
00:13:16
Jo
ah so
00:13:17
Jo
Properly, yeah. Oh yeah, I'm dead hard me. I'm excited.
00:13:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, let's just touch on something. um that I want to ask you both. um And I don't know if it's me, because again, we all feel things very differently and we all have different emotions when it comes to our club and our players and Eddie Howe, because we all love him, obviously.
00:13:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:13:42
Kev
We have zero difference in opinion on any health.
00:13:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Never because we love him. um I want to ask a question that I've seen floating around on um social media and I was thinking it last night. It's nothing bad.
00:13:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
does this particular this specific time of our caribou cup journey and probably our season in general um is there something just a little bit different the feeling different the the atmosphere is different um the players seem different the attitude seems different even the sense of like the nervousness felt different um and i don't know if it's because we've experienced it before how teams do this every season
00:14:08
Kev
oh
00:14:08
Jo
I knew what you were gonna ask there.
00:14:20
Jo
Yeah.
00:14:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
by the way I'll never know and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting used to it. But it does it just for you guys feel ever so slightly different? um Because for me I could cry at every single opportunity and I'm not sure if it's because I'm a woman or it's just because I genuinely feel that emotional about it. um Kev?
00:14:42
Kev
Oh, it's different. It's different because we're winning it.
00:14:44
Jo
Very.
00:14:45
Kev
That's why um I'm going to say it early.
00:14:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes?
00:14:45
Jo
We all.
00:14:47
Kev
It's different because we are winning at this time. I genuinely believe that first one, you know what, my, my made it work. up I went to Wembley last time and I went with my brother and a friend from work and a couple of her friends and we sat outside of Wembley and I made a great point and how it deflated as a little bit, but it also ease the pressure.
00:15:05
Kev
Cause I was really nervous. I thought, Oh my God, I could see him with the drum. And they were like, You know what, I can't see Newcastle lifting a trophy today and I thought, you know what, you're right, I can't. This time, I can 100% see Newcastle winning a trophy.
00:15:17
Jo
Absolutely.
00:15:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I can.
00:15:20
Kev
I remember, I don't know if it was a practice pod or one which actually went live. We've done so many of these, it's absolutely ridiculous now. but and ah Ian was asking me for positives of the season, and I said, lifting a trophy in an Adidas kit.
00:15:29
Jo
I
00:15:31
Kev
And I had a picture in my mind, and I don't know if if if that's the reason why, but Adidas kit wasn't even out at the time.
00:15:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:37
Kev
We still had Castor.
00:15:38
Jo
remember you saying it.
00:15:39
Kev
Yeah, i I said it and I said, imagine lifting a trophy, but it's in an Adidas kit. And now I can just pick, I don't care who's in the fan art, we're winning it. This is our year. It's finally happening.
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Guys, I've got good friends just talking about it.
00:15:49
Kev
It's happening. It's actually happening. Like but that's it.
00:15:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's gonna happen. I've said this.
00:15:51
Jo
I think it is, you know.
00:15:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I have said it.
00:15:52
Kev
We're winning it. It doesn't matter what happens in the final. We could play awful. We could play terrible. If you have a team that will hit the post six times and we'll get one foot, you go, it's, this is it. This is 2025 is the year we can finally say it hasn't been 70 odd year since we won something.
00:16:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is it.
00:16:01
Jo
It is?
00:16:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is it.
00:16:03
Jo
It is?
00:16:09
Jo
It's been 70 years since the domestic cut business.
00:16:09
Kev
Domestically, because we did win the UEFA Cup.
00:16:11
Jo
Bang on 70.
00:16:12
Kev
Well, a version of the UEFA Cup.
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
The version, yeah.
00:16:15
Kev
It was changed names about eight times. But, yeah, it feels very, very different. And I think the players know, I think there would have been a lot of nerves in the last final. Players like Byrne, who'd never played at that level, really.
00:16:24
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:27
Kev
Players like Longstaff, even Callum Wilson, who I love, obviously, he's back. what ah What a nice positive that is as well. But them players this time aren't going to be part of it.
00:16:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, I love taking it back.
00:16:36
Kev
They're not going this time to be part of it and and give us a good day out. But go on this time to win. And Bruno's already said it after his after on his interview on Sky Sports. Jake Murphy said it on his CBS Sports one.
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I've seen it.
00:16:47
Jo
He did.
00:16:47
Kev
Eddie Howe's been saying it all season. So actually the players know that we're not there to make up the numbers this time. We're there to win and we are going to win. That's why it's different.
00:16:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Guys, it's literally, this is just so cringy, but it's I've got goosebumps because I know it's i know it's time.
00:16:57
Jo
no
00:17:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know it is. You know when you can feel it. I can feel it, it's coming. Yeah.
00:17:05
Kev
is's going to be cropped in a
00:17:05
Jo
and i
Transfer Window Reflections
00:17:06
Kev
month it's goingnna be cropped in a month of a last that will but ah no
00:17:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is going to be deleted.
00:17:08
Jo
We'll just delete it. Kev, just delete it. Exactly, exactly. We're fine.
00:17:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jo, do you agree or are you, well, I think you'd agree because you were nodding along, but you might disagree.
00:17:12
Jo
um
00:17:17
Jo
not I'm like a little nodding dog as you guys are talking here.
00:17:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
like Yeah.
00:17:20
Jo
I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's true and Kev's like, Kev is right. As much as I don't think we want to admit it the last time, it was more of a horrible nervous feeling before the last final.
00:17:29
Kev
This is going to be cropped in a month. It was just a deal last time.
00:17:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:30
Jo
it what this is This is nerves of excitement. Like last night was nerves of excitement, if you know what I mean. but that one was almost just pure nerves and it and it did filter down the players and the players like you said they didn't have the experience but i've i mean i sat up until one o'clock in the morning last night not the wisest idea full of drinking before i had to go to work today but never mind because i wanted to watch every single players like i watched all the interviews i've watched some of them again today but they have been talking exactly along those lines of the fact that they now feel they've got more experience they are definitely going into it with more of a business mind than just like kind of
00:17:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Me too, babe, don't worry. Oh, yeah.
00:18:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
so different to win it.
00:18:06
Jo
just going for the fun sounds wrong but you know what i mean by that um they are taking it in a much more serious manner and they'll it's allowing us to actually enjoy it more ironically so this is just it's it's just unbelievable man it's just you know mom my dad i looked at my dad last night and it was lush because when we scored the second goal he didn't cry but my dad's very emotional blessing he's all like mr hard guy but he's not
00:18:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
like
00:18:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's such
00:18:32
Jo
and he looked and when we scored the second goal and I went to give him a hug oh and Manny had tears in his eyes and I know when I didn't say anything to him I just gave him a massive hug and I got him like that and I just kissed his forehead and I was like we're gonna do it dad man and he was like that like proper like oh and I'm like oh bless you man come on
00:18:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, don't.
00:18:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is what this to me is what Newcastle United are all about. Now, I know everyone says it about their club and the passion and things out, but I don't think there's any club like Newcastle United ever.
00:18:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'd like when it comes to fans, passion, like love, emotion, like genuinely like
00:19:02
Jo
I know what I mean.
00:19:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
The way we love our club is just different to everyone else.
00:19:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
And and I um will literally swear by that.
00:19:09
Jo
We just live and breathe it, don't we?
00:19:10
Jo
And I appreciate the well-being of the world like you've said, yeah.
00:19:13
Kev
You know what, but that's a great point because I lived in London, I can't remember the years. I could work a lot if I wanted to, but I don't know. I'm just thinking about Newcastle constantly at the minute. I lived in London at one point and there was a lot of Tottenham fans, Arsenal fans, it was QPR, Palace.
00:19:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:28
Kev
You could imagine how many diverse fan bases. And we were in the Championship, so it would have been 2017 around that time. I remember travelling, I lived, I worked kind of, I didn't really, it wasn't London.
00:19:39
Kev
It's just like close to London, and Hertfordshire Way, Brock's born.
00:19:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:43
Kev
Anyway, I used to travel about 260 miles up and 260 miles down on like a Wednesday championship night game. And it was Burton Albion at home. And I remember saying in my office, I was like, right, i there I'm going to shoot off at four o'clock a day because I've got to get up. It's like a seven o'clock kick off or eight o'clock kick off or something. And they were like, but youre you're traveling all the way up on a Wednesday and night. They're watching you castle at home to Burton Albion. And I was like,
00:20:06
Kev
Oh, yeah.
00:20:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:07
Kev
And they're like, why? And I was like, well, it's my team.
00:20:10
Jo
It's me team, yeah.
00:20:11
Kev
That's what we do. I mean, I'm traveling back and they just couldn't, they couldn't get their head around it. We're taught them Arsenal, Palace. We're like, why would you do that to yourself? You're traveling longer than you at the game.
00:20:21
Kev
You're not even going to get to see your family. way I was like, it's not about that. It's like, let's just commit. I've got to do my part. I've got to be there. And then the rest of it will work itself out. Like, but you're not going to get back to like early hours of the morning when you come back to teacher next day.
00:20:33
Kev
And I'm like, Right. Doesn't matter. Like this is, this is probably, I think us being a one city club and I know we've got other teams in the region, Middlesbrough son and stuff.
00:20:35
Jo
Mm.
00:20:42
Kev
And I mean, they kind of have a slight history. Middlesbrough have more of a woman son, but, um, it's a case of, I think it's so special to us because nobody else gets it exactly what you said there.
00:20:55
Kev
Nick, nobody else get like the Arsenal Tottenham fans as good as fan bases as they are.
00:20:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
No one gets it.
00:20:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:20:59
Kev
And I'm not going to knock them because let's face it football fans are pretty special anyway.
00:21:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:03
Kev
We just don't get it what it's like to be a Newcastle fan.
00:21:06
Kev
I don't think anybody does.
00:21:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:21:08
Kev
Even Celtic and Rangers can't because we're from the same city. it's It's one city, one club. It's a religion. It's a cathedral we visit and we go no matter what.
00:21:16
Jo
It is We've got it back
00:21:16
Kev
It doesn't matter what the circumstances we show up. And that's why I think it's so different. And also another argument and not build a goddamn new stadium.
00:21:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. And I will live by the Kevin Keegan quote of one day you will get your club back and it'll be everything you've ever wanted.
00:21:30
Kev
It happened.
00:21:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
And this is just what we wanted and it's happened and we've got it back and I couldn't feel any more happy. um Just to end part two, and um this is definitely going over the time, but I really don't care.
00:21:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's um very important that we talk about um man of the match, right? So I could have give it to every single player on that pitch last night. There's not one player that I will have a bad word set about.
00:21:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But I think it was a Alexander Esau that got Man of the Match, wasn't it? But yeah. But um my Man of the Match, well, I'm going to ask you guys who your guy's Man of the Match was, and I'm going to give my Man of the Match.
00:22:04
Jo
Hmm.
00:22:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Or can I give mine first? cause I feel like we might have the same. and man I don't want to be accused of copying.
00:22:09
Jo
Would you like to give yours first?
00:22:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would love to go first.
00:22:11
Jo
I've i've i've got ah an exact amount of the match. I know what you mean. There was multiple contenders there, but I said one last night and I've stuck to my guns and I'm wholehearted of mine, I'll be honest, yeah.
00:22:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Me too. I said it when I watched him scream in um Gabrielle's face and I was like, that is my Man of the Match. Kieran Tripp's Kieran Tripp here I will never ever ever ever ever ever have a bad word said about that man ever again ever again his personal life can stay his personal life but his football life is our life I would never ever have a bad word don't go too far man please get into your head um ah yeah um he is
00:22:28
Jo
Yeah. You'd stand.
00:22:41
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:22:42
Kev
everybody
00:22:44
Jo
I mean, don't go too far now, Kev.
00:22:47
Kev
He said a bad way to say about what about him.
00:22:49
Jo
Yeah.
00:22:49
Kev
He said a bad word about me when I said it was terrible season, but yeah.
00:22:52
Jo
but Love it.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
has to be, um and I even went as far as to comment on his Instagram post and say this, guys, so that's a bit sad, is so damn important to the football team. I don't care what anyone says.
00:23:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
We said it the other a day when we're talking about potential lineups.
00:23:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's a good game for Kieran Trippia to start. It brings us calmness.
00:23:11
Jo
We did.
00:23:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
It brings us experience. um Nothing against Tino. I think he's obviously having a great season, but these are the games where Kieran Trippia matters. um He was up for it from the get-go, and he was like a little chihuahua.
00:23:19
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:22
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
like just barking in people's faces, winding them up, walking away when they bit.
00:23:26
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:29
Jo
But that's what he does though, isn't it?
00:23:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
And and that's what he does so well.
00:23:30
Jo
He's got that, that mentality, but he does it in such a special way, man.
00:23:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's just, has it in such a good way.
00:23:35
Jo
It's unbelievable.
00:23:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he, his football last night was just, is probably one of the best times I've seen him play ah recently. He's had some up and down games recently.
00:23:43
Jo
It's been his best game for a long time, but brilliant when we needed him.
00:23:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Been his best game for a long time.
00:23:46
Kev
I thought he's done well every time he's come in this season. I think this season, obviously last season he had a bit of a patch, but this season, every time he's played, I think he's been incredible.
00:23:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:53
Kev
yo He lost his peer remember you yeah only lost lost his place because of an illness.
00:23:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good.
00:23:54
Jo
Oh, I'm not saying he hasn't been bad, by the way, Kev.
00:23:56
Jo
I just meant that was my outstanding performance of what he's done this season at all.
00:23:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too.
00:24:02
Kev
He got back in for two games in a row on that nine-win running streak, and when he got ill, and Tino got back in, and then Tino played really well, and Trippier was probably like, oh, no, but yeah.
00:24:03
Jo
No, he was great.
00:24:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. He's good.
00:24:05
Jo
He was. Yeah, yeah.
00:24:09
Jo
But he was next level last night.
00:24:11
Kev
Oh, he was fantastic.
00:24:11
Jo
That's the difference there.
00:24:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
they
00:24:12
Jo
like
Villa's Market Moves & Rashford
00:24:13
Jo
He was great in the other games, but he was absolutely next level last night.
00:24:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Next level.
00:24:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's the Champions League player that we you know we got all those years ago.
00:24:19
Jo
That's the experience we've talked about.
00:24:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's the experience that we wanted.
00:24:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
um They all played well. There's not a bad way to say about any of them on that pitch last night, but he was my standout player and I absolutely love trips.
00:24:29
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Everyone knows that. So he is my man of the match. um Joe, who's yours?
00:24:35
Jo
I mean yeah as with just your alcohol yeah this is why I haven't been agreeing with everything you said this is exactly why girl um but no he was like I I'll I washed him a lot off the ball even with my stupid drunken eyes but like I
00:24:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Same thing.
00:24:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is why you're the yin to my yang.
00:24:51
Jo
I know but you know you have got to admit it here there was probably some things I didn't see but what I did like to do and I suppose that's what I love about being at the match sometimes is you don't have to just simply watch whatever the cameras telling you to watch so I just love watching him sometimes especially when he's like that he's a natural-born leader he's we're gonna struggle to ever have another
00:24:54
Kev
Thank you.
00:25:09
Jo
or better captain than him. I'm not saying Bruno's a bad captain before anyone wants to have a dig. I'm just saying he doesn't have that leadership quality because Kieran is on another level when it comes to leadership qualities.
00:25:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yet.
00:25:20
Jo
But then the experience that we talked about bringing him in, which is exactly why I was said he should have been brought in, said thanks Eddie you got the memo on that one.
00:25:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:25:27
Jo
And just to flip back to something that I didn't cover earlier on because of that brain fart I was having. um I am on record saying I wanted the three at the back. with trips and haul as a wingback.
00:25:37
Jo
So again, thanks Eddie for taking the memo on that one. um Eventually he does listen to GSP in Newcastle, apparently. There we go. There's the plug.
00:25:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree. um So we're in agreement it was trips.
00:25:49
Jo
Yeah, we are.
00:25:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Kev, have you got anyone different? or you
00:25:55
Kev
i've got a I've got a couple of... I think Trippie was probably a man of a match, but I've got a couple of shout-outs. Anthony Gordon just freeze of interview afterwards saying we have to stay humble. That was just unbelievable housery because again, we'll be watching and thinking I can't believe that's come back about us already.
00:26:03
Jo
I love that.
00:26:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
um ah
00:26:12
Kev
um So well done, Gordon. He did have quite a good game. I thought Bruno was unbelievable. not in terms of Not in terms of creating chances, not in terms of...
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah he Give me my favourite moment of the game at one point, I love him.
00:26:23
Kev
you know run but he was doing kippy ups after about 15 minutes how calm how calm can you be turning up at home the atmosphere is absolutely he's just doing kippy ups and passing it off to his mate like he's in the park
00:26:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
34 minutes, that was brilliant.
00:26:28
Jo
That was brilliant, wasn't it?
00:26:29
Jo
That was brilliant.
00:26:37
Jo
This is where the atmosphere helps them though, isn't it?
00:26:39
Kev
ye
00:26:39
Jo
This is where they get to do that based on what hair we are.
00:26:40
Kev
and for me And for me, you know what? I ah think he has been absolutely incredible as captain. He's a very different type of captain to what we used to do with trivia and the cells.
00:26:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:50
Jo
Yeah.
00:26:50
Kev
He's not as vulnerable, but in terms of leading by example, he just doesn't stop fighting.
00:26:51
Jo
you
00:26:55
Kev
Never gives up constantly, constantly setting an example of making the right decisions over and over and over again and being brave when he's on the ball.
00:26:55
Jo
yeah
00:27:03
Kev
So I actually think. Bruno was an absolute inspired choice of captaincy from who my man of a match is, and that's obviously Eddie Howell.
00:27:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Great.
00:27:13
Kev
What a shock. or who so I know Joe said she wanted free to back, but nobody saw that coming out. There's a game happening tonight, which is last night, if you listen to this. Tottenham don't have a backup plan.
00:27:23
Kev
They have one way of playing, and if you beat them, you beat them well.
00:27:25
Jo
Yeah.
00:27:27
Kev
Arsenal were coming into this game thinking, well, the last twice we played Newcastle, we played 4-3-3, other than a very slight 5-5-0. They never saw a 5-4-1 flat coming or even a 3-4-3 with Murphy
Loan Moves & Market Caution
00:27:39
Jo
Yeah.
00:27:39
Kev
and ah Gordon as strikers.
00:27:42
Kev
with it it was It was such an interchangeable formation, but Arteta couldn't cope. and awful players didn't know what was happening.
00:27:48
Jo
No.
00:27:50
Kev
Fabian Shaw was on the edge of a box. It was a tactical masterclass and he deserves every bit of credit for it because believe it or not, I'm still going to mention it.
00:27:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:28:02
Kev
There was idiots about seven weeks ago saying, Oh, well it might be his time. Get away and jump. It's never his time. He's staying for as long as he wants. Tactical masterclass.
00:28:11
Jo
This is very true.
00:28:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is very true.
00:28:13
Jo
Basically, we have the best manager and they have
00:28:15
Kev
Oh, a hundred percent.
00:28:17
Jo
Mechel Arteta, it must be the ball.
00:28:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
It must be the ball. I was crying at that chance.
00:28:21
Jo
Aww, unbelievable.
00:28:23
Kev
That was brilliant.
00:28:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just on the Bruno thing, my favorite part of the whole entire game was when Declan Rice absolutely nailed a tackle. Didn't even get a card for it, by the way.
00:28:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Absolutely nailed the Paco into Bruno.
00:28:36
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bruno went flying. He got up like he celebrated. He just scored the winning goal of a Champions League final.
00:28:42
Kev
yeah
00:28:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've never seen anything like it. And the crowd went wild. I was like.
00:28:45
Kev
ah sideways debt and race must be overrate I've been seeing it on this podcast for so long, and I've had so much stick for it.
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, fair.
00:28:48
Jo
Is.
00:28:49
Jo
Yeah.
00:28:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I.
00:28:52
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:28:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:28:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, he wouldn't.
00:28:54
Kev
I stick by it.
00:28:55
Kev
It's so overrated. He wouldn't get in the home field.
00:28:56
Jo
He is overrated.
00:28:57
Kev
He wouldn't get in the home field.
00:28:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not going to give any of the Arsenal players any sort of air time, but I actually really like decked him right as a footballer.
00:29:04
Kev
Nope.
00:29:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, but I don't know if he's just maybe massively flopped under Michael Arteta. That's, that's my opinion. And that's all I'm going to say on it, but that's fine.
00:29:10
Kev
Not a good player. Average.
00:29:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think you're getting, no, no, no, no.
00:29:12
Jo
He's not a hundred plus million pound player.
00:29:14
Kev
Average.
00:29:14
Jo
That's, that's the problem there. He's not, his he's not, he's not his actual valuation.
00:29:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I don't think he'd.
00:29:16
Kev
side with is it is a glorified glorified harry wings it
00:29:21
Jo
ah
00:29:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. I don't, he definitely wouldn't get into our midfield. Um, anyway, I'm going to leave that there before we start arguing.
00:29:25
Jo
No.
00:29:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is meant to be a really happy pod guys. It's meant to be a really happy pod.

00:29:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, it's happy arguments yet.
00:29:30
Jo
It's good. It's happy arguing. It's good. It's just...
00:29:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's meant to be really happy.
00:29:33
Jo
I can't speak.
00:29:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're meant to all stay friends. um one ah Sorry, this second part has really run over guys, I'm really sorry.

00:30:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Lovely job, Kev, thank you very much. Right, we've covered off Arsenal, um the Ocaribou Cup enough. I think I could honestly speak, ah well, I could honestly speak another half an hour on it.
00:30:16
Kev
of What? No, give me another half hour.
00:30:19
Jo
I reckon we can do what we want.
00:30:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
um What I am going to say, I think we can do what we want, what I am going to sit here and say is, I'm so happy Arsenal turned up to St James Park after winning the league at the weekend after thumping Man City 5-1, and we absolutely turned them over, 4-0 and aggregate.
00:30:35
Jo
You're special.
00:30:36
Kev
Stay humble.
00:30:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
But stay humble. And, um, it must've been the ball and there's no tears that I love more than Michael Artetta's. And I'm just going to leave this here, salt it in the ocean.
00:30:46
Jo
in the ocean, aren't they?
00:30:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am just going to leave this here. Um, and I feel bad because I've got some friends that support Arsenal and I'm not going to include them in this, but their fan base and their entire team has become unbearable.
00:30:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
They've become unbearable.
00:30:59
Jo
So yeah.
00:31:00
Jo
yeah
00:31:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
They've become unbearable.
00:31:00
Kev
Oh, I'd call it like Arsenal.
00:31:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I knew you were going to say that.
00:31:04
Kev
I do, but I still like them.
00:31:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I knew you were going to say that.
00:31:04
Jo
Not anymore. This is the problem though. I used to actually have a bit of a soft spot and I loved them.
00:31:07
Kev
I'm not letting Arteta, I'm not letting Arteta tarnish them because I still think of the Wenger years and not all the fans of the team, not all the fans of the team, not all the fans of the team.
00:31:09
Jo
I'll not love them, but yeah.
00:31:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:31:13
Jo
But they're fan base Kev though.
00:31:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I did say that.
00:31:14
Jo
Their fan base has turned just as windy.
00:31:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
not I did say I have a couple of friends who support Arsenal and they're not in this bracket, but some of them have become unbearable.
00:31:18
Jo
Not all, but yeah. Well, not all obviously. Yeah.
00:31:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So yeah, and it must be sad for them seeing that um our striker had their two centre backs literally at Bambi on ice.
00:31:24
Jo
Yeah.
00:31:30
Kev
You mean Bear Striker? He plays for Arsenal, doesn't he?
00:31:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
There are.
00:31:33
Jo
ah apparently yeah
00:31:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course.
00:31:33
Kev
Come on, Nick.
00:31:34
Kev
He's an Arsenal striker, isn't he?
00:31:35
Jo
social media and
00:31:36
Kev
Hang on a minute.
00:31:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Paul Madison kept talking about that this morning on Sky Sports.
00:31:38
Kev
Hang on a minute. Bear Striker is not playing in my League Cup final. I must be confused somewhere.
00:31:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
hu
00:31:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
and one One question final um on this, obviously when this goes out to tomorrow, people are going to, we're going to know who we're facing in the final. One question, need one answer from the pair of you. Who would you rather? Liverpool Spurs, hit me, Kev.
00:31:59
Jo
Oh, apparently,
00:31:59
Kev
I'd rather beat Liverpool, so Liverpool. We're beating Ireland, and I'd much rather beat Liverpool, because I don't like them. So Liverpool, I want to absolutely ham a Liverpool 4-0 at Wembley. Bruno will give it in the beginning. Salah's probably sat there thinking, you know what, I'm going to ask Eddie if I can sign on a free for Newcastle.
00:32:17
Kev
at the end of that league cup final when he realizes what's happening here. Salah, he's acting Gordon as a front three next season, playing with Puma footballs, because Puma had the football for the Premier League next season.
00:32:27
Jo
can
00:32:27
Kev
So we're going to win the league next season. We're going to win the league cup this season. FA Cup's on. Hey, could be a double this season and a quadruple next season. Uppatoon.
00:32:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm gonna get on that in a minute.
00:32:37
Kev
Liverpool for me, because we'll smash whoever we play.
00:32:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I love that.
00:32:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, Jo.
00:32:44
Jo
I love your optimism, Kev, I'm not gonna lie.
00:32:46
Kev
It's happened.
00:32:46
Jo
absolutely And by the way, nothing would please me more than Smash and Liverpool.
00:32:47
Kev
We're winning.
00:32:51
Kev
In the final.
00:32:51
Jo
But I've got to be honest, I'd still prefer to play Spurs, that's all. um I've just got to be honest, because I would happily beat both of them. But right now, my only focus is to win that trophy.
00:32:59
Kev
I happily beat both of them.
00:33:02
Jo
And I don't care who we have to play at this point.
00:33:03
Kev
I'll play them both on the same night.
00:33:05
Jo
But you know what, I believe we can both i believe we could beat either, that's what I meant, not both of them.
00:33:09
Kev
All right, we're going to play a Liverpool at two o'clock.
00:33:11
Jo
I believe...
00:33:12
Kev
Give us a couple hours.
00:33:13
Jo
we
00:33:14
Kev
We'll play in part number six.
00:33:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Six o'clock.
00:33:16
Jo
Yeah, no rotation either, because Eddie will play the same 11, right?
00:33:19
Kev
and
00:33:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:33:21
Jo
But no, no, i've I've got to stick with Spurs, because I do strongly believe that we will all be to whoever we're playing, but I would prefer it to be Spurs.
00:33:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
What?
00:33:29
Jo
I just, I don't know.
00:33:29
Kev
You know what worries us about Spurs, even though we are so crazy, we've battered them every time.
00:33:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:33:32
Jo
That's just crazy.
00:33:35
Kev
Will sac the manager and will have a new manager lift? Anj won't be there if they get to the final, I don't really believe that.
00:33:38
Jo
Probably.
00:33:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
na ah No, I'm telling you now that he will be there if they're in the final.
00:33:39
Jo
True.
00:33:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
And if they lose the final, then he'll be sacked.
00:33:45
Kev
They sacked Mourinho before the final.
00:33:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mock my words.
00:33:45
Jo
That's when he'll be gone.
00:33:48
Jo
We're gonna get him sacked.
00:33:49
Kev
This owner sacked Jose Mourinho, probably one of the best records and finals in world football.
00:33:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
We are.
00:33:49
Jo
We're gonna get him sacked.
00:33:56
Kev
They sacked him before the final, so they will have no problem with him before the final.
00:33:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I know. I don't think they'll do it.
00:34:01
Kev
And then we'll get a new manager lift, a new bounce, and then we're like, oh, no, what a bad time to play Tottenham.
00:34:04
Jo
Nah.
00:34:07
Kev
So Liverpool, Liverpool.
00:34:07
Jo
We'll not, because our players are so focused and they're on it, they will not feel that.
00:34:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:34:11
Jo
Nah, none of that. None of that.
00:34:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
and My personal preference is from a more selfish point of view is the fact that I would rather face birds because there is absolutely no way on this goddamn absolute planet that I can sit in the same room as me and my husband watching Liverpool and Newcastle because he's a goddamn Liverpool supporter and I can't bear it.
00:34:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cannot bear it, there will be a divorce not doing it. So I'd rather face birds.
00:34:31
Kev
The obvious question would be, why are you marrying a Liverpool fan?
00:34:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know I'm an idiot.
00:34:35
Kev
Yeah.
00:34:36
Jo
Well, you're coming up here anyway next, so just forget about him.
00:34:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
True, because there's no chance
00:34:38
Kev
By the way, sorry, Nick, I don't even know him, but yeah.
00:34:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:34:44
Jo
We've just s snapped him off the pueblo.
00:34:45
Kev
I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but yeah, don't marry Liverpool fans.
00:34:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
like them off There's um absolutely no chance that we're going to Wembley as their Joe, so we're going to be in the strawberry living it up.
00:34:52
Jo
This is fine, the strawberry's the next best to Wembley.
00:34:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but you're going to Wembley, by the way. Will you be going?
00:34:55
Kev
100%, I was there two years ago.
00:34:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. I thought you would be.
00:34:56
Kev
Well, I say 100%, as long as I qualify again, like I did last year, but I will definitely be gone.
00:34:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I love that.
00:35:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
You will.
00:35:02
Jo
Just saying, Nick, you know, we're allowed in the ballot, you know, there's this very tiny, teeny minuscule chance of us going.
00:35:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
You 100% will.
00:35:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Well, we could go.
00:35:07
Jo
and some Some members went last year.
00:35:08
Kev
well Yeah, I'll 100% be trying, but I went two years ago, so I'm hoping I can go this year.
00:35:09
Jo
Last, not, yeah, that's two years, you know what I mean? Last time.
00:35:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um um
00:35:15
Kev
And I think I've said this before, it's a day before my birthday.
00:35:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's the week before my 30th birthday so it'll be I don't care and I'm just gonna put this out there for all the Newcastle fans it doesn't matter if you're at Wembley or you're up north or you're watching wherever in the world it is gonna be the same goddamn atmosphere anywhere you are because we are the fan base to be around and I'll hold ourselves to that so we're gonna have a good time no matter where we are sometimes but you know what I mean
00:35:21
Kev
Yeah.
00:35:31
Jo
Yeah.
00:35:36
Kev
Sometimes, sometimes other fanbears to be around.
00:35:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
um What I'm trying to say, Kev, for the listeners, it's going to be good no matter where you are, right?
00:35:43
Jo
you
00:35:44
Kev
It is, yep.
00:35:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because it was good when I was i was down south when I watched it last time, so it was good.
00:35:45
Jo
Yeah.
00:35:47
Jo
Surround yourself by the good Jordy's and you're fine. You're cool.
00:35:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Exactly. um Right.
00:35:51
Jo
and
00:35:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
It makes me really sad to have to stop talking about Arsenal, but we do have another game on Saturday, so I thought we'd better give that a quick five-minute airtime.
00:35:57
Jo
Apparently.
00:36:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Apparently, it's the FA Cup.
00:36:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm just going to ask one thing. Another little cup.
00:36:03
Jo
It's another menial cup.
00:36:05
Kev
and another cup we're gonna win we we won't be we another cup we're still in and i'll tell you who isn't in it arsenal stay humble man united beat them on penalties so yeah point good point in the one league we we're staying humble as always
00:36:06
Jo
Just don't.
00:36:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Another cup.
00:36:07
Jo
it
00:36:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Another cup that we're still in.
00:36:13
Jo
Ooh.
00:36:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, God, they're not.
00:36:15
Jo
They're not on them. Nah. no ah they've got nothing going on now because Liverpool are going to be in the league.
00:36:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I didn't.
00:36:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Well, no, Arsenal won the league at the weekend, remember?
00:36:21
Jo
And I want them to as well.
00:36:24
Jo
Yeah, in their little humble brains they did here.
00:36:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
After their little 5-1 hammering of the really of the poor man city side that we've seen this year. Anyway, guys, my question just to close this off is,
00:36:33
Jo
And
00:36:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are we expecting, I mean, I'm going to say yes, but are we expecting a bit of a squad rotation? Sven Botman's been confirmed to come off yesterday with a bit of a knee issue. Obviously, we've got Joel Inton out, so there may be two, four, there's going to be two, four changes there most likely.
00:36:50
Jo
Yeah.
00:36:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do we think? Do we think he'll change up quite a lot? Do we think we'll probably see Wilson on and then hopefully he'll stay on?
00:36:59
Jo
I think you'll go back to his formation that we've been playing in every other game this season, put it that way, and just go back to obviously the back four.
00:37:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:37:06
Jo
But obviously Botman's, well that that's secured the back four anyway, hasn't it really? So Sharon Byrne, Hall at the left, Tina at the right maybe.
00:37:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:37:10
Kev
No, Kraft.
00:37:13
Kev
Kraft could come in. This is the center half.
00:37:15
Jo
But he don't come back in though.
00:37:15
Kev
Give Shah a rest.
00:37:17
Jo
He could, but it would be interesting to see if he does or not. You never know with Eddie, isn't it? We could sit, and this is funny, and I love debating it, because Eddie then just does what the hell he wants, which is great, because it's his team.
00:37:27
Jo
um
00:37:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
and again this is why Eddie Howe is the manager and we just sit on the podcast and talk about it.
00:37:31
Jo
Yeah, and why we're just sitting here talking.
00:37:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:37:33
Jo
Exactly.
00:37:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because we know nothing.
00:37:34
Jo
So it's fine.
00:37:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not a single thing.
00:37:37
Jo
Nah, I love knowing nothing. It's great.
00:37:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Me too. um Kev, do you think we'll live in the dream?
00:37:40
Jo
Because he's living the dream.
00:37:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think Kev? ah Do you think Kev? Do you think?
00:37:45
Kev
I hope I start.
00:37:46
Jo
ah Have you think, Kev?
00:37:47
Kev
I hope I get a game. Hey, I'm ready for the call up, Eddie.
00:37:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sorry.
00:37:50
Kev
I'm ready for the call up. If you need a striker, right, put a suitor on the bench. I'll try and lead the line against Birmingham.
00:37:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Love it.
00:37:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I forgot my question because I've literally...
00:38:01
Kev
I expect any changes.
00:38:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Kev, do you think you'll start the game?
00:38:01
Jo
Kev, talk about Birmingham man.
00:38:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:38:03
Kev
The changes I expect, I would love to see Kraft pay.
00:38:07
Kev
I thought Kraft came on against Arsenal and did very well at centre-half on that right-hand side. So, I'd like to see Kraft maybe play, I think, in terms of who needs a rest.
00:38:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:38:15
Kev
I think we've got a rest, Bruno. Probably just emotionally, it probably took a lot out of them.
00:38:18
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:38:20
Kev
yesterday because he would have been feeling the pressure.
00:38:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:24
Kev
I'd love to see Tenali get a rest. I know that won't be popular because everyone says, oh well he had a year and a half. Well he he didn't really have it off today because you've got to get back up and sharpen her.
00:38:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
have it off your trained. Yep.
00:38:33
Kev
But I'd like to see M2 rested again. We just don't want them injured with Jordan and being injured. We do not want anything happening to them too. I'd like to see Shah rested
00:38:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
great
00:38:41
Kev
As much as I would love to see Callum Wilson, I've got to be careful with him for obvious reasons, but he's one of my personal favourite players, so I'd love to see him get some minutes, maybe give a sooner start again.
00:38:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:38:51
Jo
I would. yeah He gassed.
00:38:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would.
00:38:53
Kev
I think Gordon needs a rest, he looked absolutely knackered at the end of the Arsenal game, but again, Barnes isn't back and unless you're going to play Willough on a wing and play a long staff in Miley as midfielders, we're starting to look
00:39:04
Jo
I don't know.
00:39:05
Kev
very, very thin again, which is a little bit worrying moving forward.
00:39:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
down
00:39:09
Kev
But yeah, I think you i think you will change a quote as much as you can. I don't think it'll just be a complete different 11, because I don't think we have the capability to do that, unfortunately.
00:39:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, agreed.
00:39:20
Kev
and But I think you will change it as much as you can. I would expect to see Willough, Longstaff, Tino, and that's the only three I would actually expect to see.
00:39:29
Jo
Miley but look what happened against Bromley and look how low a league they are so look at all the changes we made and let's get real we didn't then take full control of that game until we put the likes of Bruno on this and this is this there lies the problem
00:39:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I was going to say Miley.
00:39:31
Kev
Maybe Miley, maybe Miley. I'm not.
00:39:42
Kev
That's what I'm saying, that's that's why I ah don't expect, yeah, I don't expect Miley, I think he trusts Longstaff and Willick enough, but again, my five at the back was a tactical masterclass, but is it also a message to Longstaff and Willick of Joel Hinton's injured, but I don't trust you anymore.
00:39:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:39:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
um tri Yeah.
00:39:58
Kev
You've had too many chances in Willick's not in form. Longstaff, again, has got a very love-hate relationship with the fans. and So, was it a message of, um I mean, don't get me wrong, it was probably purely tactical.
00:40:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:40:11
Kev
but there could be a little bit in there of, well, actually, if Jonathan can't play, I'd much rather bring in another centre-half and potentially rely on one of you two, which sounds very harsh and you would never word it that way because he's a much better man manager than that.
00:40:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
and um Yeah.
00:40:23
Jo
yeah
00:40:23
Kev
But it could be almost a message of, well, it can long staff, you're going to start this game, but you need to start finding form again because otherwise, yeah.
00:40:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
not getting picked yeah yeah I did say that a couple of weeks ago when we recorded with Ian Kev, Joe Willick not so much I feel like when he does hit form he has you know he is great um I just feel like he's got a bit of confidence issues at the minute um and he's someone that we really need to get behind because I feel really sorry for him um Sean Longstaff though it's a love-hate relationship with me um so yeah so I'm not too sure yeah not too sure but I agree with you guys what you said
00:40:33
Jo
You're off.
00:40:43
Jo
yeah
00:40:49
Jo
Yeah.
00:40:56
Kev
I have, I have a relationship with Longstaff, right? But whenever, whenever anybody talks about them, I feel this urge to just jump and defend them.
00:41:00
Jo
I'll get rid of my new.
00:41:04
Kev
But when I talk about, when I talk about them, I'm not, no, I'm not like nasty, but I'm not the most positive.
00:41:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Same, I know, I agree.
00:41:06
Jo
I don't know.
00:41:09
Jo
Yeah, because we don't hate him. We're not horrible to him.
00:41:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're not horrible, we're just not...
00:41:11
Kev
I just want to defend them.
00:41:11
Jo
That's why Kev. It's a bit different thing there.
00:41:13
Kev
I just want to defend them.
00:41:13
Jo
Yeah.
00:41:14
Kev
It's like one of us.
00:41:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I agree.
00:41:15
Jo
We're just honest about him. That's all. I hate the kind of abuse that he gets. And if I'm honest, I kind of hate, and this happens across to all Jordies, by the way, we've done it in the past, kind of plenty of them. And I think a lot of teams do it.
00:41:25
Jo
Why on earth do you beat up your own ahead of beating up like a foreign player? That baffles me. Why why would you pick on when you're homegrown?
00:41:33
Kev
We shouldn't be beating up foreign players either, just for the purpose of...
00:41:36
Jo
No, come on, you know where I'm going with that.
00:41:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. You mean in your own homegrown phase?
00:41:39
Kev
Why do we beat up our role when we can beat up our foreign players?
00:41:41
Jo
yeah but Joe chose violence today.
00:41:43
Kev
What is happening here?
00:41:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Joe did.
00:41:46
Jo
I chose violence, yeah.
00:41:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know what you mean.
00:41:47
Jo
ah But you know what I mean about that.
00:41:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
You mean, yes.
00:41:48
Kev
It's called Juan Faraj.
00:41:49
Jo
What I mean is we shouldn't be doing it to anyone more than others. I just don't understand why, and it doesn't just happen at our club, why basically fans will pick on someone who's like homegrown and like Geordie through and through for us or Scouts through, you know, be whoever it is, I've just never understood it.
00:42:06
Jo
And it does happen throughout many clubs and just, it it just battles us.
00:42:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Agreed.
00:42:09
Jo
I'll be honest.
00:42:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Agreed.
00:42:10
Kev
easy target.
00:42:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, guys, it's crazy.
00:42:11
Jo
The scapegoat, it's mad here. Sorry.
00:42:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would um love to carry on going, in but I'm seriously going to need to wrap it up. um It's been lovely talking to you both. I could talk about the Arsenal game forever um and ever until the next game.
00:42:21
Jo
It's been great.
00:42:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So yeah, I'm going to leave it here, people.
00:42:27
Kev
Can we just not play again?
00:42:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Just never again.
00:42:29
Kev
just That's it now, it's the end of football, we're just really happy and that's how it ends.

Global Sports Podcast Network
