To George, Best Wishes, Isaac Hayden

Taylor Payne hosts your snow-to Newcastle United podcast from The Athletic with club correspondent Chris Waugh and Senior Writer George Caulkin. We've decamped to the Forth for our Christmas special, so there's gift-giving, crackers, and reflections on an entirely miserable 2021 with one remarkable highlight. There's a bit of admin as well, we review the recent backroom appointments at the club and look back over a week of football when some more controversial refereeing decisions were rendered entirely moot by Newcastle's hapless defence.
