I noticed it was the last in the series of Cricket AM this morning, not the start of Soccer AM. Fucking Sky - "we'll start it next week when the Premier League season starts. I've never heard of those other 72 clubs!"

Have our overseas friends sorted themselves for watching this? I know some were fearful they'd no longer be able to after relegation...

Yeah, Shola is our new number 9! Nah, just looked. He's still 23. Only change is Harpers got number 1 and Krul, Carroll and LuaLua have all got numbers in the 20's.

Eurgh, so another season of ups and downs and probable mayhem is upon us. I think I'm gonna start on the drink soon. Also, whats our squad numbers. I had this awful thought last night Shola's gonna have the number 9 top...

how is clem allowed to chair this whole thing? He is an utter cunt.

Mark Clemmit's doing me heed in already. In his whiny smog accent, "can somebody tell me why did Newcastle go down with such a whimper?" One bloke just said he's gonna get lamb blasted after his statement.

only just tuned in. Whats been gannin' on? An hour of that clem slagging us off?

I think Kinnear's just spouting absolute shite. Even by now Ashley must know if he's going to bother appointing someone at some point, it has to be Shearer. I think Joe has been in a coma and still thinks we're in February.

Quite Short, unshaven and dressed like he's just escaped from somewhere by any chance? If so i've just had a word with him, he left roughly at half 5 sounds like him. Massive blue rucksack, Sir Bobby on the back of his top with the printed badge.

anyone seen the guy that's vowed to go every day until they close it and chuck him out? Goes by the name of John Shearer. We interviewed him and broadcast it this afternoon. We didn't get a reason from him for doing so other than, "Whey its Sir Bobby innit?". He's also spoke to the Chronicle. Anyhow, found this this afternoon (had been speaking to Liz from the foundation about the massive increase in donations). http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7210/bobbyashley.jpg

tempted to drive up today out of sheer boredom, but none of my mates are arsed

I'm not sure about the Leazes end, but I'm sure Llambias said the condolence book will be left open all week.

I've just been informed Sirous Mahjoob is Hebrew or some other Jewish language for Serious Manboobs.

Ours. Loyalty put aside... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a101/mattcobb/shirts.jpg

I saw that. I went back today as fan, rather than to interview people, with a mackem, and we put our shirts side by side.

nice call

I'm putting the blue-sponsored Northern Rock shirt down tomorrow. I've wrote a message on it. Also think I might pop into the Back Page to buy "Just Call Me Bobby" if they haven't already sold out. That bit where he's bragging about our solid pine doors will live with me forever. The first time I saw it, it cracked me up. We had doors of solid pine, and to him, that was an important symbol of how great a club we were.

Dunno if anyones aware, but there's a half hour programme on SKYSPORTS 2 tonight at 10PM

Been at St. James' all day with another reporter from Real Radio. Fitting tribute. Well done everyone.

Quality!

Via the Chronicle site, aye. It's s****. is it Lee Ryder doing his own commentary?

I'm guessing Ashley/Llambias merely consulted Hughton, who being a yes-man, agreed to the sale. I'd love to think there were some new owners on the horizon who had an input, but I remain pessimistic.

meh. I wish him well playing in what could soon be the best league in the world

Marcel Desailly is who's needed. The BBC can also say they were thinking of the hard-of-hearing if he makes an appearance.

Seb decides he doesn't want a farewell (and first) goal.
