Big Geordie

Cabbageheed will be out straightaway if this goes through, as will Charnley. A new boss will be in place for Spurs, IMO.

Edwards on Total Sport now - he says that it will go through. Isn't it less than 48hrs where he said it was pretty much dead?

A businessman called Michael Knighton tried to buy Manchester United in 1990 (I think) The Edwards family pulled the plug in the end - they didn't want a maverick in their cushy set up.

That's 30 years ago, man. Things have changed a lot since then!

This is perhaps as close as it's been for some months. Again, I'll only truly believe when Staverley is pictured on the pitch, wearing a home top.

It seems like ages since we last had a Northern League side make it through to the First Round Proper, and give it a real good go. Memories in the past of Blyth (of course), Whitley Bay and Bedlington Terriers. Too big a jump now?

I'd love to know how Ashley believes he's gonna get £300 million for the club, when we look doomed for the Championship! More like we'll go down and be stuck with him for a while yet. Rinse and repeat.

I'm reminded about what was said about Vilica, by Doncaster the other week. Our loan lads are probably being sent out, out of condition and touch. Such is our awful League 2 set up.

Mistreat by NUFC and Steve Bruce.

Playing him as our lone centre-forward is a complete waste. Lad is better out wide. Another tactical masterclass from Cabbageheed.

10 - if Bruce stays.

Work to do for Nelson, I think. Maguire's return to the club hasn't got into gear as yet. From what I've seen of Blyth, they could do with a big centre-forward - one not frightened to hold the ball up and get stuck in.

He will say bugger all, and pile in on the players.

At the risk of repeating myself, Bruce isn't going anywhere. He's safe for a while yet and he hasn't got the sense of shame to walk.

His PFM mates will turn on us supporters soon enough - saying that it's our fault, as we've wanted him out from day one and he's not a had a chance. Just watch.

A lot of old timers and radgies have packed in long before now. What you have left now are customers in the main - just happy to tell their pals they go to PL matches. They will disappear sharp in the championship.

It will be the case long before then. By early Dec, I reckon.

Still doing a grand job, according to his PFM friends in the media.

Disappointing to see Blyth go out.

We are doomed.

Another performer full of drive, imagination and organisation eh? Bleak and we look doomed.

Barely a peep out of wor lot today, or is it just me?

Yup - good move and finish

Sitting deep and defending our 18 yard box again ?
