Manchester City defender scores a cracker
This beaut comes from Monday night’s match between Newcastle and Manchester City. City’s Richard Dunne very kindly gave Newcastle the lead with this excellent finish into his own net.
Toon Army Cockney hunt working!
One of Newcastle’s so-called Cockney Mafia has left the club. Vice-president (player recruitment) Tony Jimenez has left the club “to pursue other interests”.
A statement released by Newcastle said: “Newcastle United can confirm that Tony Jimenez has left the club. Tony, who was appointed vice-president (player Recruitment) in January, has made the decision in order to pursue other interests. Newcastle United thanks Tony for all of his hard work and efforts and wishes him every success in the future.”
The former Chelsea season ticket-holder was a close ally of Dennis Wise at the club and was one of the targets of the Cockney Mafia jibes by the Toon Army during recent protests.

MSN appoints deceased English actor Roy Kinnear as new Magpies boss
Oops! This one slipped through the net. According to MSN, Roy Kinnear is raging at “scandalous press”.

Internet wag defaces Kinnear’s f***ing Wiki page
Childish? Yes. Ultimately pointless? Yes. Funny? Yes!
“We’re not For Kinnear.”

The Spoiler saw our Kinnear swears on Football Focus video, and they raised it. Big time. What follows is a transcript of what must be one of the most foul-mouthed, paranoid and bizarre press conferences ever given by a Premier League manager. Audio clips in the video above.

Newcastle caretaker says a naughty word
I wonder if Kinnear is keeping Keegan’s swear box warm him too…
Evidence that staring at black-and-white stripes can lead to dyslexia
We have tried to say it in the broadest of Geordie accents, and we still can’t make ‘boycoutt’ say ‘boycott’. Obviously the fans in question were not from the spelling regiment of the Toon Army. We have to agree with the sentiments though: sak teh boaurd, that’s what we say.

Is this technically an own goal? Marlon King - wearing Newcastle United shorts and socks - fires a penalty past Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given. Hull were stopped from wearing an all grey kit by referee Andre Marriner, who decided there was enough gloom on Tyneside at the moment without a team in all grey playing a team in black-and-white.
