Jacob Whitehead returns to the pod for our preview of Everton week; a double header against a club who, like Newcastle, sit just outside the real battle for honours right now.
A win at Selhurst Park, while providing a genuine boost, can't sit in isolation for Matthias Jaissle, who will now take on the Premier League's most Premier League-y manager, wily old fox David Moyes.
We also have news of a new recruitment chief and a report from St James's Park, where Chris Waugh watched the U21s get a great win and some valuable big-match experience in the 'mini-derby'.
