Cup Final Agony and Injury Agony and Legal Agony and Doorbell Agony

Pod On The Tyne: The Athletic FC's Newcastle United show - A podcast by The Athletic

Eddie Howe's men (the ones not on international duty at least) have taken to warmer climes as management aim to 'reset' for the final stages of an arduous campaign. The podcast team haven't had that luxury, unfortunately. We took our hopes and dreams to Kenilworth Road where things got very Newcastle cup final-y for Becky Langley's lasses. Perspective is important, though, and we take solace in meeting up with friends and the culmination of a largely magnificent season. The men take on West Ham this Saturday lunchtime; a huge game, but one they'll have to manage without Sven Botman (knee knack) and Lewis Miley (back knack). If it's positivity you're after, best to ignore Chris. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
