Episode notes

Newcastle United are still without a win in this year’s Premier League campaign but managed to stop the rot with a point away to Crystal Palace.
Rafa Benitez led his side to a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park and survived a late onslaught by Roy Hodgson’s men, Mamadou Sakho heading wide with an open goal at his mercy.
United created little and in this week’s episode of Everything is Black and White Podcast, the discussion of where those goals will come from is a hot topic.
ChronicleLive’s chief Newcastle United writer Lee Ryder and NUFC Writer Chris Waugh are joined by Mirror Football’s Simon Bird to dissect the weekend’s game and other issues at the club.
This includes the appearance of Mike Ashley at United game for the first time in 16 months, why he has finally surfaced and whether it had a negative impact on the clash at Palace.
The trio, alongside host Andrew Musgrove, discuss United’s transfer policy and whether it remains locked in the year 2011-12, when the club could readily pick up bargains.
There’s also a look at whether Lee Charnley and Benitez are being punished for perceived failures in the transfer market in the summer United strengthened to go straight back up to the Premier League.
Benitez’s future and the debate over Aleksandar Mitrovic are also discussed in this week’s Everything is Black and White Podcast brought to you in association with EToro.
