So, at last, Rat Dan Ashworth's successor is appointed, and what I LOVE about the appointment is that it came (BOOSH!!) straight out of nowhere. No leaks and ITKs in the days immediately preceding , even though Mitchell's name was in the frame months ago when the Rat was first placed on gardening leave. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come and our marquee signings this summer are only revealed at the stage of having medicals - much like Bruno, Botman and Isak.

I loved reading this article by Danger Dom, our MALAYSIAN MAG, who you can see on NUFC TALK TV's Worldwide Show. One word to describe a lifelong love for Newcastle United: Bi-fucking-polar. From the highs of beating, nay, thrashing PSG in the Champions League, to the lows of losing to Luton, from the highs of renewing our push for Europe by beating UCL contenders Spurs 4-0, to meekly surrendering to a superior Palace a week after, to THIS. Conceding a 5th minute goal at home to bottom team Sheffield United, and barely equalizing the first half – to winning 5-1 at fulltime. I’m near certain NUFC will be the death of me, and what a death it will be! We’re not Anthony Fidget-Spinner, so we’re not gloating over beating (and relegating) a team who was promoted and subsequently struggled to match the pace and quality of the Premier League with a purse far-smaller than the rest. But it needed to be done if we are to chase out the Red Mancs to Europa League and hopefully finish above them for the first time in our history. Red Mancs also did us a favor this gameweek by dropping points, making this pot so sweet, that Willy Wonka is knocking at the door. I don’t know what speed Wor Eddie had his dildo on during the halftime talk, but it seemed to work. We hammered the Blades goal like an Amish sweetheart during Rumspringa. I thought the away fans would be calling the police to report grievous bodily harm to their club at the 70-minute mark. Only the proverbial bus prevented more goals. Well, that and also Wor Eddie giving Robocop and Matt Ritchie a run-about. Let’s enjoy this week before our highly stressful clash with Kompany & umm, Company? They shoved it to a host of clubs before our away game, so it won’t be a walk in the park. But that’s what being a Toon supporter is all about eh? Howay the lads! Onwards and upwards to Burnley!
