FEBRUARY 26, 2003.
That is the last time Newcastle United won a Champions League game before thrashing PSG in Matchday 2. And so much has changed in the time between those two wins. The Magpies have witnessed the fading star of Alan Shearer, the lowest lows of relegation, and near fan-revolt under former owner Mike Ashely. But then, the 2021 takeover by the Saudi Public Investment Fund led to new heights on the pitch...and moral conflict off of it. This week, Rog and Rory breakdown what that complicated takeover has meant for a proud team city in a working class city, and for football as a tool of global politics.
Then, ANOTHER Italian football scandal catches Sandro Tonali its snare. Plus, the moment we've all been waiting for...Rory's official position on Stottie cakes.
