For the 50th proper NUFC podcast we've done United went and actually won a game (for only the 12th time since we've been doing this). That's nice. A crucial win. United were so poor though, and when your best player is your keeper (and that keeper is Rob Elliot), there really are more questions than answers, so we try and answer some of those questions. Premier League chat follows looking at Tottenham, Palace and Swansea. Follow us on twitter @tfweeklypod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tf Weekly Pod are joined by George Caulkin of the Times and True Faith editor Michael Martin to discuss the success or failure of Newcastle United's transfer window for Summer 2015. They discuss what needed to be done at the end of last season how the club have performed in the period since then. The Northern Sports Correspondent and a native of the region, George has covered North East football for The Times since 1998, in which time he has reported on (too) much controversy, a fair bit of excitement, a great deal of mediocrity and the lifting of precisely one trophy (the League Cup with Middlesbrough in 2004). He collaborated with Sir Bobby Robson on the book ‘Newcastle - My Kind of Toon’ in the final months of the former England manager’s life and is a Patron of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

This week the lads come together to celebrate Andre Mariner's fine refereeing performance for Arsenal against Newcastle. It's not often we give credit where's it's due to Arsenal, but they got it spot on with cheating with a referee who's sole aim was to secure three points for the side from North London. Richie Smith is a guest on the show and believes United are as much to blame as the man with the tan in the middle. Mike Creane also discusses the validity of closing the transfer window once the season starts, as well the lack of home wins in the Premier League so far this season.
