You're trying your best to hide it, but I know you're overjoyed really.
I really wish I were. Honestly; I really wish I could be overjoyed at this appointment. Maybe it's because I'm now in my 30s that I think it smacks of getting back together with a girl you liked when you were in your teens. It's just not the same, not at all.
Imagine if we were to appoint someone with his qualifications and record, but who didn't have that sentimental connection. Doesn't quite bear thinking about.
Incidentally, before some monosyllabic twunt chimes in, this doesn't mean I don't support Newcastle Utd. It just means I have more than two black and white brain cells to rub together.
That's sums up my logical reaction to the news, but there's another part that's ludicrously excited by it.
