True Faith NUFC Podcast

Patrick Barclay is one of Britain's best known and poular football journalists. During his career he worked for the Guardian, the Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, the Times and the Evening Standard. Paddy gained a degree of infamy with mags for two articles produced in 2014 and 2015 about the fan base and it's relationship with then manager Alan Pardew. Paddy invited Bolland and Norman into his home to discuss those articles and much more on Newcastle United. We are immeasurably grateful for that and respect Paddy greatly for speaking to us to put the record straight on his views about NUFC and it's fans. We hope you enjoy the show.
