I was 100% sure (10) we were going down with an ineffective manager, now we have a good manager I'm 50% sure (5) that we'll go down.

I doubt a single Newcastle fan got up this morning expecting a training session with Benitez.

He's got them in training, what a change.

Do any of our players?

I think we're daft enough to get something from this.

It'll not be a pain at all, it would have been if nothing had changed.

I've expected this all week and it feels better than I thought that it would.

Stupid is closer to the truth. Before we got Keegan I used to drive up almost every Friday night after work and every other week travel past where I lived going to away games with my mates.

I was living in the midlands when we signed Keegan as a player, I was living back up here before his first game.

confirmed.

That one man looking suspiciously like Bobby Robson.

I don't expect too much to change if Benitez has clauses in his contract.

Benitez is the best manager we could have got, when could we last say that about a new manager?

Release the gifs.

We finally have a proper manager.

It's got to be a photoshop, that's McClaren's jacket. Anyway, he is at St James', I've just seen video.

It wasn't, funnily enough.

I've just had a text saying Ashley's helicopter has just flown over Newcastle.

SSN talk utter tosh though cos it makes people turn on SSN They didn't say that anyway, they said Cathro and Beardsley might be in the dugout, they basically don't know and I would guess nobody does.

Appointing Benitez will be a massive signal that things have changed.

We've got goals, motivation will get us scoring again, we might need a fit again Cisse if he can get fit.

Everyday must be Friday.

Exactly, what if?

7 of our possible starting 11 have only been here a few months.

The talks will be far enough on for the face to face to be a formality.
