Gordon's revived... plus Wimbledon grind and Everton week!

Pod On The Tyne: The Athletic FC's Newcastle United show - Een podcast door The Athletic

Taylor is OK, George is relieved, and Chris is very tired indeed. Wimbledon at home in the Carabao Cup proved to be the most arduous and mind-numbing ninety minutes of football we've sat through in quite some time. It WAS stress-free, though, which is saying something after several nail-biters over the opening weeks of the season. Following the worrying scenes at Fulham Eddie Howe wanted to see more from his big players, not least Anthony Gordon. Thanks to a boost from Wor Flags, and a shift from the lads, we got the best performance in a decent while. The lasses have started their season very well indeed, but they've got two big tests coming up in the shape of Durham and, first, a league cup tie against Everton. The boys will also face Everton this weekend and the newest member of our team delivers a particularly mild brand of trash talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
