See how much of a good summer it is when we finish even lower than we did last summer.
What the f*** is wrong with people.
To people in the media, staying in the division is a grand success. Little point listening to any of them.
I heard a bit of 606 on Saturday with one of our lot on digging out the old cliches to defend the manager - "hands tied behind his back" etc and Darren Fletcher, who along with Ian Dennis is the biggest whopper on the station, said something along the lines of "I know fans like Newcastle's want success but there's a lot to be said for surviving in the Premier League and not bankrupting the club"
Darren Fletcher is a fucking wanker. Knows absolutely fuck all about football and much like Alan Green, belittles and immediately cuts off anybody that challenges his point of view.
I'm a big fan of 5Live generally but the football coverage (outside of the commentary) is absolutely horrendous. That said, I don't see that anybody else is offering better. Football media's just one big old boy's club and the only time they'll criticise is if it's someone like AVB who they know they are unlikely to ever have to sit next to in some studio.
