She's actually Redknapp in a wig.

St James Hillsbrough San Siro

About 10% of Blackburn went to the match. If we got 25,000 at a match, that would be about 3% of Tyneside turning up.

Arsenal.

I think White Hart Lane is a bogey ground for them too.

Let's get Terry Mac back as well, he was a right laugh too.

We've all heard Kinnear going on about who he wants to buy and that he's going to let Enrique go and sell some fringe players. Is he just spouting rubbish? He's said how Ashley will be letting him decide who comes and goes, and not buy/sell behind his back, but can anyone see that happening? Keegan had players bought and sold for him, and he was a Newcastle legend on a proper contract; why would he give Joe Kinnear, an interim manager and the only person who would take the job, all that power? We still have Wise and Vetere at the club, so I can't see Ashley handing all the recruitment over to Kinnear.

If we go down, the chances are it won't take us two seasons to get back into the Champions League.

2-0!

I can't believe I'm reading. People really think Shola should start in place of Owen?

It's not though, Liverpool's attendance last night was about 3000 under capacity.

But Martinez is a foreigner who has never managed in the Premier League before!

Exactly. He seems to be doing well in what he was brought in for, but I don't think anyone for one minute thinks he's the man to take us forward.

I've live in Newcastle for 6 years and still sound southern as fuck. It's not just the accent though, McClaren is speaking broken English. It's patronising and insulting. Imagine if Allardyce or Souness had started talking in a fake Geordie accent in interviews and using words like "howey", "canny", and "wor".

I'm sure Butt got one last season. Not that he should make a habit of trying though.

Shola and Xisco both on the bench.

The Benny Hill theme.

Anyone know how much tickets will be at the cash turnstiles?

About £1.8 billion, but I think the portfolio is only assets, not capital.

I can see him being in charge for a while now. I think Ashley will leave the post open if it looks like he can sell up soon and let the new owners deal with it.

It's one game. No matter how good you were, you're not going to go from 15th in the world, to World Cup favourites!

Do you think if we edited various people on wikipedia to tell of their friendships with Dennis Wise, it'd appear on the back page tomorow?

Central America is part of the continent of North America.

One of the games in this run is a trip to Newcastle in the Carling Cup - which brought us neatly onto press speculation linking Gus with the vacant's manager's job at St James' Park. "It's very clear that it's nothing at all," stated Gus when asked about those rumours. "I'm very happy here. I've had almost a year back at the club with Juande and Marcos. This is just speculation and it's all too easy because of my relationship with Dennis Wise. It's nothing to worry about and all I intend to do is relax and continue with my job." http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/guskeyspell090908.html

I'd love to go the Arsenal route, but it's just not realistic. There's no way we'll keep up like the big spenders like that.
