So a keegan and wise sequel.

Is Ashley worse than Freddy yet? What else does he have to do before we'd welcome back fat oaf number 1?

If this goes down in rewritten history as "Stupid deluded geordies got on Hughton's back because he didn't have them top half by Christmas and got their just deserts" I'm going to choke a cunt.

Make a change to what? I'd probably look at if I could attract anyone who would do better with this groups of lads, come to the conclusion, no, not really, and stick with it.

So "very much" is to be replaced in post match interviews with "BUT-UHHHH", "This group of lads" with "BUT-UHHHH" and so on.

So is the conclusion we've come to that this has happened because even Hughton isn't enough of a yes-man for Ashley?

I know it won't do us any good, but we need a show of support for Chris on Saturday, be it singing or badly spelled bedsheets (I'm thinkiing maybe a Banksy-style black and shite stencil of CH with a simple sentiment underneath like "BETRAYED")

Ashley will probably even fuck that up "Pardew turns down Newcastle as contract negotiations stall."

Is there no part of Ashley's brain where there's a little alarm bell going off, a nagging feeling, a little voice saying "Hang on, Mike... This seems a bit familiar... You're fucking it all up again, aren't you?"

Alan Pardew 'strongly interested' in becoming next Newcastle manager http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/06/alan-pardew-newcastle-manager

Lots of Hughton chants against Liverpool? Or is that just pointless seeing as he's already gone? Who the fuck will be in charge by Saturday?

This is madness.

Interesting to see where he goes next and how he does.

Great bloke, got on with the job, never moaned about not having money, never blamed the ref, got the best out of group of players that weren't the best. Wasn't always the best tactician, but he really pulled us out of the shit and the way he's been treated is nothing short of a disgrace.

This is probably what Ashley is thinking.

How many managers are we going to have this relegation season then? Maybe we can break our record.

Watch us get something against Liverpool.

The more important question than if he's 'good enough' is if you think Ashley is capable of getting anyone better.

Wonder how many of the 5-1 DVDs they sold.

That reminds me, I have to defrost that stewing steak.

Any vids of the Brummies kicking off?

These lot will turn up and we'll all pretend not to notice in case FIFA are mean to us in future http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11304208

Why should they have shown it next week? This Marge Simpson style "Ooh, don't rock the boat, don't cause a fuss, smile at the nice man" thing is absolutely emasculating, I'd rather we didn't get the thing at all than we got it by being toady pathetic little try hards. if they want to shoot the messenger, that's their problem. FIFA were given all this data nearly a month ago and they refused to act on it, that doesn't mean the BBC and Sunday Express should play along and bury the findings in a time when football isn't so in the forefront of the news, to do so would be cowardly, spinless and pathetic.

The World Cup Bid Team might not be worried about it, but that doesn't mean the public shouldn't be and it certainly doesn't mean investigative journalists should be guilt-tripped into giving these guys a free pass and told to go back to sniffing around England players for signs of an affair. Aren't we a country that lectures other nations about the ideals of democracy, transparency and freedom of the press?

So what are we supposed to do? "We noticed that money that should be going to grass roots facilities is instead being used to give contracts to companies, not because they offer the best value, but because they're bribing members of the board. It's OK, though, we won't say anything about it because we want you to bring your world cup and a load of money to our country." What happens when if we get the world cup and they start fucking us about and expecting us to be equally as accepting of corruption then?
