Football (proper football) is back this coming weekend and we can not wait to put this summer behind us and focus on the beautiful game itself when we get back on the pitch. Charlotte is our host this week with Kyle, Ordy and Si to do a full preview of the season ahead. Now that we have another signing through the door and some other irons in the fire, can we now look at the season ahead optimistically or is there still cause for concern? How excited are we all for the season and what are we looking forward to most - Champions League? Derbies? Who is going to impress? Who is going to have a stand out season? And loads more chat about the season ahead as we try and predict how it will all play out.

Alex hosts Adam Widdrington, Charlotte and Si as they talk through the actions Newcastle United must take, short and long term to save the season and the direction of travel at the club.

We discuss: The right players in the right positions. What needs to happen in this window to give Howe the tools to compete?
