Congrats man. We'll miss you.

I really hope this ends up being true. Adams is a fucking tragic manager. Now all we need is Peter Reid to become Rangers manager and the SPL may become interesting again...

My old man moved to Newcastle in 1990. The fucker tempted me with taking me to St James Park for ages that it built into an obsession. He'd be a cheeky bastard and go to all the midweek games, give me a programme, and then use my sister's hatred of football as an excuse for not taking us on weekends. He finally took me to the infamous David Kelly game against Portsmouth in 1992. I would challenge anyone to go to a first game like that and not be hooked.

Every time I look at your ava it looks like the big bird thing is standing on top of a fancy phone box.

Aberdeen qualified for Europe on Sunday which was cool. Shame Newcastle had to go and ruin my day.

Even fucking scorching in Scotland. I had to work though which sucks. At least I work in a supermarket so we get muchos totty coming in anyway. Fairly cushions the blow.

Cheers for the feedback. Been pissing around with my formations and tend to sit on 4-4-2 at home and 4-5-1 away. Completely forgot that FM figures out your tactics so I tend to tinker with it a little bit at the start of a new season. Always try to vary up my passing and the like too when I feel it's neccessary and with it having much more consistency.

I completely forgot about Andy Dorman. He's really good. Bobo Balde can GTF. Everyone else is a good shout.

Bought mine today. I actually quite like it other than the big white bit on the back.

Forgot to mention.... American's who say "I could care less" when what they really mean is "I couldn't care less." You'd be amazed how often this happened. Go fuck yourselves.

1- What would your assement of your season be in comparison with your pre-season hopes and expectations? I fancied a not too particularly exciting 14th place finish. In hindsight I'd have been delighted with that. 2- What would your season highlight be? The 3-1 win over the Boro. 3- What would your season low-light be? The pathetic, gutless second half performance at Villa Park when our Premier League status was on the line, and very few out there bothered to even pretend like they gave a fuck. 4- A large majority of footballer suporters seem to have taken a certain degree of glee in your downfall this season. Why do you think that this is and what do you think needs to be done to change peoples perception of the club and its supporters? Nothing needs to change. Teams like Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa and Tottenham are similar in they we all think we're a bigger club than we really are. I'd have have loved it if Tottenham had went down, so I can't really complain about others taking joy in our downfall. 5- Would do you need to bring in during the summer and who would you like to see leave the club? I would like to see them bring in players who have a bit of talent and would run into a brick wall to be successful. I would like to see the gutless bastards shipped out. 6- What should the aim for next season be? The aim has to be a top two finish. Whether we're capable of that with the likely wholesale changes is another thing completely.

People suggesting players from the SPL need to be careful. Paul Hartley, at 32, isn't the sort of player we can take in and - if we do bounce back up - have any use for the season after. If we're going to raid Celtic, Scott Brown would be a far better choice. However, I'd be surprised if any of them are that upset about Strachan leaving that they'd forfeit CL football for Championship stuff. JJ, I presume you think we have no chance of going for James McCarthy. I always hear rumours of teams like Celtic and Liverpool being interested but I don't know if anyone's actually made a bid for him. The thing is with McArthur is that the lad seems to have his head screwed on. Turned down Liverpool 2 or 3 years ago because he knew it would be ages (if ever) before he could get into the first team. The only team that's sniffing around right now is Celtic, but he says he wants to play in the Premiership. No harm in coming to Newcastle and helping us get back up. He's still a teenager, so there's no rush. I think we're a bit confused somewhere - isn't it McCarthy who's the wonderkid who turned down Liverpool (and pledged his allegiance to Ireland for not much of a reason) while McArthur is quite good but not as good? Having a James McCarthy and a James McArthur in your squad is just daft, mind. I get the two of them mixed up with their names like, but one of them is awesome, and is hardly out of our reach.

Go get James McArthur from Hamilton Accies. Excellent young player who could do a job right away so you're not just buying for potential.

Would be great if Beye stayed. Nice to know he's up for the challenge. Give him the armband!

Four years old man. Fucking tragic.

Donkey punching..... discuss.

Got to admit I won't waste my time searching for shit in the Supermarket, mainly because they keep moving it. Don't get me wrong, I know why they move things, but you know where it's moved to, I don't. I don't want to browse and I won't be fooled into impulse buys. If that means I have to pull someone aside and ask em where the Reggae Reggae sauce is, then so be it. I understand why people do it, but I get fucked off in my place because nothing ever moves and people always come up to me to ask where the fucking milk is. Normally I work in the kiosk and not only is the milk bit fucking massive, but you can see it from where I'm being asked! I host the pub quiz in my local and have been doing it for about 9 months. At the end of each round I always go round to ask if anyone wants anything repeated. At least 4 or 5 times a night someone replies with "just the answers please" and then they laugh at themselves as if it's the most original joke and they're feeling a sense of pride with their comedic excellence. Last week one mong did it at the end of two rounds in a row. He had the cheek to tell me to fuck off when I said it wasn't funny the first time.

Never got to the bottom of that. I went out with a beauty therapist a few years ago who lived in an old B and B with about 8 or 9 of the girls she worked with. A few of them had the pencil deal and I asked why they did it. Never got a sensible answer. They all thought it looked good. I wasn't vindictive enough to tell the whole truth, but they knew I thought it looked daft.

As someone who used to live in the same block of flats as John Anderson, I can say it's fucking hilarious. I know I shouldn't laugh, and I never laughed in his face (I liked him a lot) but it's bloody hard. Ran into him in a couple of years ago in a supermarket in Galashiels and there was some little fat girl behind the counter with the hideous fake orange tan. Him shouting "oompa loompa" at the top of his voice was one of the funniest things ever.

Women who wax off their eyebrows and then draw them back on with a pencil. Fucking mongs. People who talk with such confidence about something, but don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about. At half time of the Boro game a couple of weeks ago, the idiot barman started talking football with me. Without me asking, he gave me his in depth run down of who would go down this season, and it was West Brom (already pretty much gone) Hull (very possible at the time) and Stoke (so so so safe it was unbelieveable). When I explained that Stoke were safe, he still wouldn't have it as they "weren't good enough" to stay up. I asked who he supported. Celtic and Manchester United. Makes sense. He also claimed the reason Ronaldo goes down so often is that he runs so fast that the slightest touch could trip him. I work in a supermarket, and I fucking hate people who come and ask you where something is, when it's bloody obvious and they haven't even bothered to look. Lazy bastards.

Like you'd turn her down, beggars can't be choosers remember Personally, I'd crawl over broken glass just to push matchsticks in her shit.

Great song. RIP.
