• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: to all my fellow Newcastle United fans.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: For those of you fortunate enough to not have endured the comings and goings
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: and goings and goings of the Newcastle squad this summer,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: let me give you a brief overview.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Following a few seasons of success featuring our first domestic trophy since 1955
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: and two qualifications to the Champions League,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: we had a pretty terrible season ending in May 2026.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not even going to relive it,
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: just know that sleep, points and a certain amount of pride were lost.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: With the appointment of a new manager,
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: a handful of new players and the designation of a new captain,
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: this has been a summer described by many as one of transition Let me report
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: to you live from deep inside the cocoon on the eve of the Premier League season
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: that it feels more like a summer of metamorphosis.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: We just don't know if what will emerge is a stunning butterfly or
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: a terrifying lopsided moth destined to fly in chaotic circles until it dies.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: My fear as a Newcastle fan of 25 years is not that we will be bad this season.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Even last season pales into insignificance when compared to the time I moved back to
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: the city from university only to find us relegated or the time I got up in
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: the middle of the night in New Zealand to watch games a few years later only
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: to watch us be relegated again.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: My dad will tell you these in turn are small fry compared to the torrid pre-Keegan years.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Time, anxiety disorders and Newcastle United have each taught me a great deal
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: about accepting the things I cannot control.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: And the performance of 11 men and the decisions made about those 11 men by other men
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: in a boardroom fall firmly in that camp.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: No, what worries me is that my fellow Toon fans and I,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: fuelled by bruised egos,
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: clickbait and their usual culprits,
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: sorry, pundits, judge this season based on past successes.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: What might be more important than points this season is resetting our expectations
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: for a new team,
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: not the old one,
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: and to recalibrate our brains to hold not just what's happening on the pitch
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: in front of us, but the bigger picture too.
• 2:23
