Yet the question was phrased very differently by the Chronicle.

What a fucking invalid.

This may give a few clues as to why Luke Edwards was banned for acting like a tit:

 

 

I enjoyed the European trips. Being paid to travel to cover football is an enormous privilege, and one that is never lost on me. The scale (and inebriation) of Newcastle's support in Bruges was staggering, and there was a chip museum to visit!

Marching at 4am in Red Square, Moscow, after a night boozing at the team hotel was a fantastic evening.

A revealing seafood lunch with Derek Llambias in Madeira talking football and his plans for the club, was extremely pleasant and interesting, and shows relationships with the Ashley regime are being built up.

Travelling on the club's luxury charter plane to these trips, which had a bedroom, enormous seats and tables, was a joy. As was the way the likes of Jonas Gutierrez, Coloccini and Cheick Tiote, thought nothing of sitting next to journalists and mingling.

Despite the bad season, Pardew remained very quotable and is still one of the best at communicating with fans, and explaining what is happening. How Pardew reacts to continued adversity or criticism will be revealing.

Newcastle players also rarely shirked their media duties, which is appreciated. I do have one favourite press conference moment, from last week. Pardew handed out a gift to Brian McNally, Sunday Mirror North East man, to mark his retirement after 37 years doing the job.

After a kind speech Pardew turned to the rest of us and said: "40 years... none of you lot will last that long." It was an open goal. Especially for those fans who have turned against Pardew I heckled: "Neither will you." He took it in the good spirit it was intended. I think.

Luke Edwards is. This is by Simon Bird....possibly the club think that if you treat journos as well as they appear to (Edwards has almost certainly been treated to all this too) then fair criticsm of team affairs is ok, printing shit stirring tittle tattle when the club is staring relegation in the face is just taking a fuckin liberty and they acted accordingly.
