Breaking news:

I was wrong; they do know their station in life
I'm planning a relegation party.
Everyone has to drink nothing but ****e ale, go topless and wave their stiggy shoes in the air.
Oh, and no girls allowed!
I'm fattening up in anticipation.

From the S*n. A classic bit of S*n actually. Love the bit where she says Mackems talk funny and how she goes into the dressing room with a picture of Jackie Milburn when the team are doing badly. And that Bobby Robson, never had tea - just coffee.
40 years of teas but no cups
By CHARLIE WYETT
Published: Today
THERE have not been any cups at Newcastle since 1969. Apart from in Kath Cassidy’s St James’ Park kitchen.
Tea ladies do not generally hold legendary status at a football club but Kath, who has spent over four decades serving 18 managers, is something of a Tyneside celebrity.
Having arrived at St James’ 12 months before that Fairs Cup triumph, Kath provided Joe Harvey his pre-match cuppa and now she does the same for Alan Shearer.
A fiercely-proud Geordie, the 82-year-old is distraught at the club’s current plight but hopes Shearer will remain at the club next season — even if Newcastle are relegated.
She said: “If anyone can save us, it’s Alan, but he’s not got much time left. I don’t know if he is staying on but if he does, we are sure to go back up. His heart is in Newcastle and I wish all the players were the same as him.
“I’ve got lots of pictures at home of all my favourite players from down the years. So many, that I’ll soon have to start putting them on the ceiling.
“I know I’d get into trouble, but I might go into the dressing room before a game with my picture of Jackie Milburn holding his medals.
“I’d say to the players ‘Get your fingers out, look what he won for £20 a week.’
“Men like Jackie, God bless his soul, put their whole heart in. Jackie would turn in his grave if he saw the state of things here now.
“We last won a trophy in 1969 and that’s shocking. We shouldn’t be down there.
“I wish Kevin Keegan had stayed. When he returned here, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. A great man. If he had still been here, I’m not sure we would be in this mess.
“It was not his fault and I can’t understand why Dennis Wise was brought in. You don’t have a boss and then bring in someone over him. Another terrible thing is seeing us below Sunderland in the table. I’ve a sister, Joan, living there.
“She insists she’s not a Mackem but I don’t like the way she talks now — her accent is funny. I never go and see her. My family are the same as me. We love Newcastle. We love the club.
“When my grandson was born — he’s nine now — I went with my daughter-in-law to register him. Terry, my son, phoned and checked we had got the name right — Joe Kevin Keegan.
TYNE TEAS ... Kath Cassidy hands Graeme Souness a cuppa
“My daughter-in-law said ‘I’m calling him Joe Beckham Cassidy’. My son said ‘don’t bring the boy home then!’
“But yes, he is Joe Kevin Keegan Cassidy.” Hardly surprisingly, King Kev features prominently when Kath talks about the managers she has worked for.
She added: “All the managers have been gentlemen. Each and every one. I’d rather work for 100 men rather than five women.
“Joe Harvey was the first manager I worked for. He was a quiet sort of man. Gordon Lee came in and mucked everything up. He got rid of about five of our players, including Super Mac (Malcolm Macdonald). Richard Dinnis wasn’t here long.
“Bill McGarry was a little man and he didn’t have much to say. Arthur Cox was a nice man. Jackie Charlton was not here very long but was a character while Willie McFaul was nice but quiet.
“Jim Smith, the Bald Eagle, was always very pleasant. Ossie Ardiles always said ‘very, very good’.
“Kenny Dalglish was a canny bloke. Ruud Gullit was nice but I don’t think he had much interest in the club. Bobby Robson was good man. A legend. He never had tea — always coffee. He didn’t stop and speak to anyone, though.
“I was just a tea lady. He spoke to me twice in four years — he said ‘thank you’. He was a man of his job. It was an insult when he was sacked.
“Graeme Souness was brilliant to me. He came to my house when I had a heart attack and stayed for 2½ hours. Glenn Roeder was all right — a decent man. Sam Allardyce was lovely but was not here long enough to be judged as a manager.
“Keegan was fantastic. I love the man and we came so close to winning the title with him. He took 1½ sugars. But now, I’m so happy Alan is here and I think, given time, he will do a very good job.”
Kath, who arrives for each game four hours before kick-off, hopes to be pouring the tea for years to come.
She said: “My daughters keeping saying to give this job up, but why should I? The boss says I can stay as long as I want.”
Newcastle’s future remains uncertain and Shearer is still insisting he will not continue as manager after this season. Whoever does take over, the one certainty is that a decent brew will be on offer.

I can't remember when I last rooted for the S(ite. I will be this weekend (so watch them bottle it).
I can't see Hull picking up more than 3 points in 4 matches so I'm afraid that its not over yet. Even if they draw Boro they wont be out of it.
If they go down they are going to be down for a long time

They need to go down to bring balance back to the universe.
They've been an embarassing smattering of whoppers for far too long now.

Don't let Kath Cassidy hear you saying that, lid. She'll give you a clip on the ear. Bet you like coffee and talk funny as well.
I wish to confirm that I do like coffee and I do indeed talk funny.

Bet you've got a dead deep voice, lid. Dead sexy that.
I speak how you want me to.
