Great stuff. They are a bit nasty about our cahnces of qulaifying for Europe but otherwise: They describe him as speaking broad Julio Geordio and talk about Warren taking the p...s, shouting, "Don't mention your passport, Nobby" at him in training. He says he would play for Peru again and then talks about what he learnt from Maradona. He praises YBR for being a fantastic, wise old man who has brought his experience of coaching great, demanding sides, like Barca, England, Porto and PSV to bear at Newcastle. The Guardian do say that Robson's achievement this season has been remarkable all things considered. May be on the Internet.

Meanwhile, in the Times football supplement, Tom Dart describes our team thus; "Not that concentration is something that Newcastle do well - they have the concentration span of a fkea who channel-hops on his remote contro, while playing video games".

And Warren has something to add about our bairns in 365: http://www.football365.com/brnews/brnews_218663.htm I dunno why I come to work at the weekend - I never get a stroke done. I've just been for some soup in the takeaway downstairs, then I read the weekend supplement for the Inde and I'm going to call a mate re tonight....

Thanks Doug. And there's an interesting intvw with Psycho in the Express, in which at least you get the variety of hearing him instead of RL having a pop at Gullit. He talks about how a similarly disgruntled Tommy Craig would take the 'forgotten 4' (SP, RL, Dabz and Pistone), who were frozen out of training, for a walk and an ice cream in the park!

That's not a F365 story Dougal, its off the news wires.

They have just copied it and posted it, whereas THE DAILY TOON do actually format it and add some photo's to illustrate. Including one of the Hughes boy.

ROTFLMAO!! So maybe we should take their gameboys away? ;-)

The Journal has quotes from Bobby re: the inability to keep clean sheets since September. One great bit is when he says he would get out there himself to clear headers, but while he's fast, he's not that fast. He really does sound very frustrated about the issue, and just doesn't know what to do. The players seem to forget everything they practice when they get out on the pitch.
