Pod On The Tyne: The Athletic FC's Newcastle United show

• Palace home; glorious, especially compared to Villa

  It's a tale of two Uniteds this week. First up; a magnificent demolition of Crystal Palace when everyone scored, even Isak. And while Villa away was a Saturday to forget, the podcast team seem to have a lot more trouble remembering the details from earlier in the week. Either way, we are shrugging it all off and looking forward to an exciting run-in. Ipswich is the first of a crucial trio of home games; will Howe return to the dugout?

• Doing the Manchester United double: now that IS delicious!

  Eddie Howe's illness, while obviously a concern for everyone, did not disrupt Newcastle's focus on a Super Sunday. Newcastle's senior teams won 10-1 on aggregate as The Lasses put promotion disappointment behind them with six unanswered goals against Blackburn. Manchester United, meanwhile, left St James's Park with their tails between their legs; our midfield trio bullying them into submission. Kevin Keegan wasn't there to see his Wor Flags tribute, but he must have savoured our first league double over the Red Devils in 94 years. Two huge games this week for the boys with Crystal Palace calling on Wednesday night before a trip to Aston Villa; Champions League qualification is now less a hope than an expectation.

• Bees and Foxes dispatched: Cup final response pleases Howe

  Newcastle United took six Premier League points from their first two games after winning the Carabao Cup, albeit three of them were a little easier than the others. Brentford came to St James's Park and put up a fight, equalising through Mbeumo before Tonali's not-a-worldie saved the victory in another "game-state" triumph. Then to Leicester, the third leg of George's relegation odyssey, and a sorry state of affairs where Newcastle only needed second gear to win (despite Fabian Schar's best efforts). Champions League football looks likelier than not now and we don't fear anyone, least of all Manchester United.

• Party time! Bus tour and Town Moor celebrations

  From the sublime to the ludicrous, Newcastle showed the footballing world how to celebrate properly on Saturday as the Carabao Cup winners showed off their spoils on a bus tour of the city centre. A host of TV stars and football heroes joined the fun as the party carried on at the Town Moor with Eddie Howe in raptures (yes, really) and Bruno leading the chorus. The Lasses are out of their title race, sadly, but the boys can still achieve a Champions League spot with a top five finish in the Premier League.

• The Lasses' derby double: record attendance at St James's Park

  Newcastle United's women completed a derby double, beating Sunderland in the home fixture at St James's Park with a crowd of almost forty thousand watching on. Substitute Shania Hayles was the scorer, her tenth in the league this season, as The Lasses (TM) retained local bragging rights with a one-nil win which also keeps their slim title and promotion hopes alive. Meanwhile, in order to come to terms with the end of Newcastle's trophy drought, Chris has formed a 'winners' support group'. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
