Was thinking after the final whistle yesterday that Ashley was probably thinking "Aha! If we can get a draw in probably our hardest game of the season without a manager, then with a brilliant manager like Joe Kinnear we'll walk this league, winning every game. In fact, we could probably sell a few more players and be fine. I'd be an idiot to sell now when I can ask for £400m again when we're in the Premier League. Mike, you're a genius!"

Ranger on the bench? No online bookies are giving odds for him as last goal scorer

Rings a bell, remember it pissing off the RSPCA http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/20/choke_a_chicken/ If he has had anything to do with painfully unfunny singing fish/hamsters/crocodiles then he can fuck right off, I'd rather have some far easterner who presides over sweatshops and gang hits.

If Brown tries to sit Beye down in the centre circle for a telling off at half time Habib will flatten him.

Compare the attitude of the high earners who walked around the pitch looking like they'd rather be anywhere else to the duttyman

He must play a decent part this season, we'd be hard pressed to get ourselves as promising a youngster now. Desperate to get a black and white shirt on even after tiring internationals, he's like a reverse Micheal Owen.

Most of them couldn't be arsed when they were playing against Premiership sides, can't imagine they'll put much of a shift in against Doncaster and Derby. I'd rather have someone with out the proven skills who's pleased to be playing for Newcastle even in the Championship and wants to fight for their place.

Surely he'd have issued a statement saying that then?

Championship Champions sounds pretty stupid as well to be fair like. People still call the Carling Cup the league cup and what have you. What's that rogue apostrophe doing at the start?

Because he's a player that will "give you 100%" apparently. Yeah, 100% of shit is still shit.

Got this done today, looks alreet.

Come on Ashley, don't be a cunt.

Please don't say our hopes are going to be dashed again

I'd be an embarrassment, always slagging off other clubs, players and managers.

Even if we don't exactly set the world alight under this guy, I'm just looking forward to having an owner and manager everyone can get behind. I just want to be able to go to matches and concentrate on getting the points rather than just listfully wondering when our state of limbo is going to end.

Fuck it, haven't had my hopes up for ages. Going to believe this is true and going to happen, and if it doesn't I'm going to climb up the Tyne Bridge and toss myself off. You heard me.

Mike Ashley "Has no comment to make at this stage" according to 5Live

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/ "Listen live" at the top right Stupid cow can't understand why people are dubious about Joe's statement

Maybe because he's the only person in football who would work for a club owned by Ashley?

If this was offered two weeks ago it doesn't bode well for any lingering hopes about this "Still about to be sold to a Dubai consortium in the next few days" story.

It's OK, he turned us down

WHAT?! Get. To. Fuck. Nowt on SSN yet, please be some kind of sick joke.

It will be availible to download off the 5live website about 9.30pm Can you not listen live on the net? Yes here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00m30b1 We're not back in the championship. we've never been in the Championship before

Just out of interest, what happens to the club is Ashley dies?
