St Jordi's Day

Apparently today is St Jordi's day... So, to all of us Geordies, happy days to us - well it was after Sunday anyway. And I suspect that St Jordi may have been smiling on the Catalans as that's about the only explanation I can give for Ronaldo's penalty miss.

It must have been a slowish news day today - as it looks as though the end of season rumours are starting early...

Rumour 1

That notable Champions League Semi final goal scorer is on his way to us - nope not Dirk Kuyt, but John Arne Riise. Fresh from putting through his own net at Anfield, he's supposed to be our next left-back. Humm, we'll see. Whilst the Toon do need a decent left back - I'm not sure that Riise fits that description...

Rumour 2

Titus has been gobbing off, according to the BBC he's said...

"Former Newcastle defender Titus Bramble has criticised Newcastle fans, blaming the Magpies faithful for the sacking of manager Sam Allardyce. "The Newcastle fans aren't as good as everybody says," said the Wigan centre-back."

Well guess what Titus? You aren't as good a defender as everybody says either... Oh, hang on, no-one has said that you are a good defender for a long time..

Perhaps the poor lad has been confused - when the Liverpool fans chanted "Titus for England" it was irony... Do you think that Titus understands the concept of irony???

I'll say one thing for Fat Sam - about the first thing he did when he took over was to get rid of the fat-arsed clogger.

"They've not won a trophy for fifty years" - hardly surprising when we continue to waste millions on twats like Titus.

The fact that he's languishing in the Wigan reserves seems to say it all... But maybe this is all part of a Bramble masterplan... He's trying to get a move to the mackems over the summer!!! Brilliant Titus... You and McShane as a centre back pairing... I can't wait.

And then they appoint Souness and buy Amdy Faye and Jean-Alain Boumsong.

I like this train of thought...
