Any concerns that Newcastle would bottle their chance of a trip to Wembley proved extremely wide of the mark. They tore into Arsenal and thoroughly deserved their 2-0 victory. George Caulkin was there and he is happy, James McNicholas was there and he is rather less so.  We had Beren Cross watching Leeds win again, Dermot Corrigan saw Real Madrid get a fright at Leganes and James Pearce joins us to discuss Liverpool's transfer window.

Arsenal shook off their fears and just about edged their way past Spurs at The Emirates. Amy Lawrence was there to watch it all and pass comment, Jay Harris was there to quite rightly defend the honour of Spurs' keeper Antonin Kinsky.  There was no dream return for David Moyes at Everton, his side were beaten at home by Aston Villa and, goodness me, he has a lot of work to do.  George Caulkin saw Newcastle win AGAIN and Alexander Isak score AGAIN, twice in fact. But can they keep him? Isak, not George? And we've got all the other big results from around Europe too.    Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Amy Lawrence, Jay Harris, George Caulkin  Producer: John Rogers Learn more about your ad choices.

So, it's official: Dan Ashworth has asked Newcastle United for permission to leave so he can take up a new role at Manchester United. We consider the possible terms of his departure with Taylor Payne, George Caulkin, and Chris Waugh. On the pitch, Saturday's draw at home to Bournemouth showed up the deficiencies of Eddie Howe's current set-up once again. We have another sift through the big BDB debate (the BBDBD), lament VAR delays, and just generally try to get our heads around a weird season. Less of a mystery is the position of Newcastle's women at the top of the table. Becky Langley explains why they are flying the flag for something bigger than just one club's success.

Taylor Payne is joined by George Caulkin and Chris Waugh for a Manchester-holics anonymous meeting after our leading men and women were downed by the blue and red halves of the city respectively. For Eddie Howe's men, it signalled a return to something like the Newcastle United of last season. Unfortunately, it wasn't so much a Pep talk as the strength of the champions' bench that told in the end. Meanwhile, Becky Langley's NUFC Women lost their absurd unbeaten record against one of the strongest teams in the game.

The Group of Death went to the death, but sadly it wasn't to be as our desire to stay in Europe's premier competition saw us concede to a Milan counter-attack and exit European competition entirely.

We have another dispiriting display to look back at, with Eddie Howe's knackered Mags downed 4-1 by a Spurs side whose "injury crisis" pales by comparison. Better news from Gateshead, where Becky Langley's women made it to the fourth round of the FA Cup and a potential meeting with the big hitters of the WSL. Next up, a Champions League Group F finale with AC Milan coming to St James's Park on Wednesday.

A physical Borussia Dortmund, with a plan, and one or two injury blows threw us slightly off our stride, which is enough to make the difference at the elite level.With Tonali's ten month ban now confirmed, we will take a depleted squad to Wolverhampton hoping for three Premier League points with no more injuries.
