With the summer break giving us time to breathe, Helen and Dave are dedicating Episode 16 to the lifeblood of the club: The NUFC Fandom. We are stripping away the tactics and the transfer rumors to dive deep into what it truly means to wear the black and white stripes, looking at the brilliant, and sometimes baffling, sides of our community, and sharing the personal memories that hooked us for life.

In this episode:

The Geordie Identity: What makes Newcastle fans so unique? We discuss the intense local pride, the community spirit that takes over the city on matchdays, and how the club acts as a global badge of honor for anyone from Tyneside.

Navigating the Rivals: Whether it's living with a house divided, dealing with banter at work, or surviving the sheer pettiness of our 'friends down the road,' we talk about the art of surviving rival fanbases without losing your mind.

Our First Matches: Helen and Dave take a trip down memory lane to share their own origin stories. From that very first walk up the Gallowgate steps to the sights, sounds, and smells that made us realize there was no turning back.

And Finally... The Height Premium: To wrap things up, Helen puts Dave firmly on the spot with a chaotic game of Higher or Lower based entirely on the physical statures of the current NUFC squad. Can he accurately guess who stands taller between Dan Burn and the rest of the lads, or will his spatial awareness let him down?

Since Helen mentions it nearly every episode we are finally putting to bed one of the biggest transfer wounds in recent Newcastle United history 🖤🤍

With the summer break well underway, Helen and Dave are finally locking themselves in the studio to dissect the saga that defined our entire 2025/26 campaign before it even kicked off. We are talking about *that* summer. The summer the financial rules bit hard, the PSR panic set in, and our world-class talisman Alexander Isak was sold to Liverpool.

In this episode:

Anatomy of a Mega-Sale: We revisit the chaotic final weeks of last summer’s transfer window. What actually happened behind closed doors? We trace the timeline from the first terrifying rumors to the absolute gut punch of seeing Alex holding up a red shirt at Anfield.

The Ripple Effect: How did losing a 20 plus goal striker reshape Eddie Howe’s entire tactical blueprint this season? We look at how it thrust William Osula into the spotlight earlier than planned and altered the chemistry of our front three.

Moving On vs. Moving Forward: Isak might have swapped Tyneside for Merseyside, but where did this leave us? We debate whether the astronomical fee was reinvested wisely and what the club must do this summer to ensure we never have to sell a superstar to a rival again.

It’s part group therapy, part tactical autopsy, and 100% unfiltered.

The football might be on summer hiatus, but we are back in the studio for an absolute masterclass in the dark arts.

With the 2025/26 season wrapped up, Helen and Dave are tackling one of the most beautiful, controversial, and fundamentally misunderstood concepts in the entire game: Shithousery. It’s a word we throw around every week on the mics, but today we are putting it under the microscope, tracking its history, and arguing over who wears the ultimate crown on Tyneside.

In this episode:

The Anatomy of a Shithouse: What does the term actually mean to us as fans? We separate lazy, malicious fouls from the psychological, tactical genius that leaves an opposition player completely rattled before a ball is even kicked.

Our Personal Top 5 Countdown: The gloves come off as Helen and Dave count down their favorite Newcastle United shithouse moments of all time.

Crowning the ultimate shithouse: our very own Cup Final Kid is back to discuss Helen and Dave's selections and crown the ultimate NUFC shithouse
