Are you talking about a defeat from last season, because only Newcastle have beaten us this season?

The last couple of days Football has gone mad
As the song says

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Was it sung by KK or PG

The manager that takes over Toon would have to be very desparate for a job.
But thinking about it, he could agree to take the job, get binned as usual after 6 months and live for the rest of his life on the compensation like BSA.

To be perfectly honest, I think Keegan is a loose cannon..... He is too emotional to be an effective football manager.... I've seen characters like him in the work place all the time... Constantly craving recognition, having to walk on egg shells around them for the fear of saying or doing the wrong thing.

Not an expert on Mike Ashley and i'm sure I will be proved wrong, but it seems to me that he is a genuine Newcastle United fan... Has ploughed shite loads of his own, hard earned money into the club, seems determined to give the fans the trophy what they have craved for years...... And all the fans seem to want to do is feek him off for a manager who has won them feek all in the past.... I thought Mike Ashley was slowly turning things round at Newcastle, in the right direction, giving them the kind of football that the fans wanted (hence getting rid of BSA).

Its okay shouting sack the board and Ashley out..... But whats the alternative? Maybe KK will be willing to invest all his hard earned money into waking the sleeping giant!!

PS I don't think Newcastle are a sleeping giant.... More like Rip Van Winkle or a coma victim (no offence to anyone who knows someone in a coma)...

Ashley is apparently a Spuds fan by birth.

Prior to buying the Barcodes, he was a season ticket holder at White Hart Lane.

Just shows the dangers of having an owner who doesn't have the same links to the club that the fans have.

Anyway, he's had enough and is putting the club up for sale...

Damn....

It was very funny.

The sale also included on XXXL shirt with Keegan on the back and a well used pint-pot.

Gudni Bergsson wasn't born in Farnworth and didn't support the club as a lad or ever have a season ticket on Burnden Terrace.... That doesn't stop him having a passion for the club.

Just think that Newcastle fans are biting the hand that feeds them.....

"I will love it" to see Ashley sell up and leave them in a worse position... "LOVE IT"!!

I see what you're saying Lofty (thank god you've changed your moniker-one notlob is more than enough... , but the story (as told on the FiveLive Money programme) goes that Ashley, having grown up a Spuds fan approached Levy with an offer and was told to do one sharpish.

He then proceeded to tout his services to at least five other clubs, before pitching up at St James', whereupon Fat Freddie Sheperd duly snatched his hand off.

And Allardyce said "Oh shite!".....

According to a Geordie mate of mine, the consensus up there is that him and Mort don't know what they want.

All very funny for us neutrals...
